< insanity | posted at 8:54 pm on February 28, 2004 > i'm home tonight, i think my dad cried on the phone last night because he missed me, and i think he's incredibly happy just knowing i'm here, so i'm home tonight.so i don't think that all four flatmates have been in the same flat at the same time yet, so we haven't had the 'household talk'. suffice to say i'm working off one mug and the occasional surreptitious plate and cutlery borrow. these few days have been a few days of electronic gain. yesterday i picked up my land line phone and plugged it in, and bought a tv, but the wrong cable for it. so i was frustratingly watching a blank screen... and today i bought my new laptop (powerbook g4! score!) and returned yesterday's tv to buy a better tv, and plugged it in. so entertainment galore at my new place, however, i'm home tonight. wendy, my flatmate, and i went door-knocking yesterday. just to say hello to people on our floor - i wouldn't have gone alone, i'm not that type of person, but she is, so it was fun. anyway, we only got to next door before we were invited in for coffee (and ended up scabbing dinner and promising to bring over dinner next week). such hospitality! i made up for it today by lending them our rice cooker. we chatted for a few hours, then went back to our own rooms, and decided we'd go door-knocking every night that she and i were at home together, and eventually finish the floor off and move onto other floors. anyway. so that was fun. and i came back to find my first voicemail message from my mum, so i called home, and it broke my heart to hear dad's voice crack saying that two days was too long already. but we all move on. and i guess, it had to happen. i still have a shitload of stuff to move out. i can't believe i've done it, though. and it's working out ok. in other news, i think i'm going insane. i'll explain later. those last five |
