Sunday afternoon. Still avoiding work. Thought I'd start a new post as I've already done one today. Couple of things to write about, and then I'll leave it for later. 

I want to name this album Emergency Above right now. I know it'll change as I actually write more of it, but I just like those words. I guess it would be a bit of obvious stealing from Matthew Caws though. But it's not like the song is named that, it's just the first two words of the song, so maybe I could get away with it. I suppose it'll end up being named Constellation or something completely different though, so I may as well forget the Emergency Above thing. 

I'd forgotten how happy Nada Surf make me. I didn't listen to them much last week (around 20 plays does constitute as "not much" - honest...) and I'm just having a Nada Surf-athon now, and it's just awesome, I listened to the whole of Let Go a couple of hours ago and it was just like *constant smiling*. I love them so. 

The freaky dreams have stopped. I meant to mention that before, but forgot. 

And also, I changed the No Sunlight link >>>> 
I'd done a post which ended up not actually being posted, where I'd written about changing it, forgotten that I hadn't posted it, and I was going to change it again today, but decided not to. I'll leave it a while longer. It is a good link. Lol. 

I really need to do some work. I actually need my laptop taking away from me, because I'm just not doing any work, and it's affecting my Jack Kerouac reading time as well, and I don't want that. I make it sound like I'm being forced to go on the internet. Well, I kind of am.... ish. 

Looking back over this blog since it started, I've realised my posts are increasing quite a bit in length. Insania. And I've realised that this blog will actually be worthwhile when I go to America, because then I can tell everyone about my trip and it'll be exciting. More exciting than the everyday crap I write about now at least.

Tuesday. The weather is horrible. It's nasty drizzly rain. Proper rain is okay, but it's not really proper rain, it's just horrible. Luckily I haven't had to go outside today :) 
It's weird, I keep thinking I have to go to work tomorrow, and I don't, which is ace. And I've actually been doing OU work today!! Woo! 

This may be because it's now really important that I do work this week - next week I am working 7 days in a row. I know that technically this is illegal or whatever, but as I've volunteered, it's technically not. And I wouldn't have to be working 7 days if I didn't have to have Monday off. But it makes me feel sort of vaguely valued at work. All I have to do is make sure I get LOADS of sleep so I don't end up going insane and then have John shouting angrily at me because I keep failing. 

Today I rearranged my CDs into order of date released. I know that's a really sad thing to do, but it was quite fun. I think I'll put them back in alphabetical order tomorrow. I put them in colour order once, but that didn't really work out as about half of my CDs have either black or white spines. Hmph. I should think of another way to arrange them. I really want to have them in order of when I got them, but I have no idea when I got a lot of them, or at least I can't be specific enough to make it worth while. I feel like a geek now...

So, also today, I have been learning more about Hinduism. It's a really interesting, but confusing religion, like people just worship pretty much however they want to, and they all worship different gods, and they're split into social castes (which doesn't sound so fun) so it's really hierarchical, yet they have no actual central authority or authority figure. I like that they all worship all these different gods, but they see each god as a different aspect of one supreme being. And they're probably the only 'religion' to say that their God is the God of other religions too. I don't think I've heard any priest say that our God is anyone else's God. But I guess that's the nature of religion. It's interesting to be looking at religion from a different perspective. 

No pictures today, because it's just raining, and stuff. I've set up my savings account! Hurrah! So I'll get more money :)

On Monday I'm going to have a long discussion with my sister about America. I'm excited. We're considering going to Coachella, providing we're in LA at the right time. I just hope the line up is as good as it was this year. Rogue Wave. Death Cab. Hahaha. When it gets nearer the time we'll probably find ourselves planning around gigs we want to go to a bit. Providing good people are still touring at that time. I'm really hoping Death Cab will still be touring, and as their tours tend to last a really long time, it's entirely possible ^^
