going jobbing!

I should be wriggly with anticipation for tomorrow. But I'm not. Instead I feel vaguely disappointed (at WHAT I am not sure) and a little distressed at how much money I've been spending lately (this feeling hasn't appeared in a while).

Damn I am craving pasta. No, I must hold out until next week.


pasta, soup and drink = $25 (estimate, with %GST and service charge)
library membership = $21

*money left for the rest of all my meals = $24, despite
*amount I had MEANT to save for the week = $20


solutions:
1) stay at home a lot.
2) go to the library if staying at home becomes too sad, but go home for meals!
3) S-11 has great food for $3 - $4.50. Plus it is near the library.
4) eat cereal. (this works until I get tired of cereal. From previous experience, getting tired of cereal takes about a week. Without more expensive supplements, it is also unforgiving upon both the colon and the weighing scale-dependent ego.)
5) work like mad and enjoy it so much that I'll forget about wanting lovely food. This one works best. All the better for some extra moola.

I plan to do all five, anyway. Okay except the cereal part. I value my colon very highly. And I love my mum's cooking! It's just that I've eaten it all my life. HELL AND HEAVEN WILL WITNESS HOW I WANT PASTA right now.

I go home at nine o'clock while my friends are able to frolic at pool parlours deep into the night! Perhaps I am a Freak. But I enjoy being alive in mornings, for they are pretty. Not to mention that if I stayed out past the last bus playing games with balls and sticks my parents would throw two fits and never let me out of their door again.

I make a very poor specimen of wild youth.

Oh man, you have no idea... no idea... how stupidly late we stayed out till. Suffice to say, at 11:42 PM we realised it was 11:42 PM, and we were still at Parklane...
