GOOD/BAD and a RANT!

December 3rd, 2008 at 01:50 am

I got a cheque for $4.50 from a cash-back offer for some... womens items. Yay!

Today I bought a spinach & feta danish for breakfast/morning tea and had gotten in the car and drove off before I opened the bag and realised they had given me a ham and cheese one! $3.20 down the drain...

To add to more money down the drain, I paid $5.07 to download three tracks (please don't lecture me on free downloads - it AIN'T gonna HAPPEN! i just don't do it. you might donate to church - well... i pay for my music. you can blame my dad for working in the music industry and instilling this value in me!) and then found out they were conversion-protected which means I can put them on my iRiver but not my iPod. DARN IT. I should have known but it was just a mental blank. Bleh.

Tonight I am having a movie-dinner night at a friends house, with another friend. Originally one friend (who's house we are going to) was cooking, until I told the OTHER friend, who, how shall we say... has some issues...? (OCD) and now we are getting takeaway. lol. I am still wondering how she managed to do that without the other friend noticing anything strange. (I know, the other friend doesn't).

So I am thinking I can do dinner cheaply to make up for my waste of money today. I will have some vege samosas and some naan bread. Or something like that. Well, it depends how much the mains are. But my aim will be to spend LESS than a main. My goal is to eat for $10 or less tonight. (I think the mains are about $15).

I am a little annoyed at my flatmate at the moment. I am just annoyed because the only time she is ever in a good mood is when her BF is coming over or when he's there. It's annoying because we're meant to be friends and it is like my company (or feelings) is not important or not worth it. So it makes me feel like just completely giving up, even thought we live together. She goes to bed at around 7pm and gets up after everyone leaves for work - unless her BF is there in which case she goes to bed whenever he does, which is usually 11pm, and gets up at about 6am. She doesn't have a job and she lays on the couch all day and watches tv.
And yet, she complained about a couple of her friends who have recently gotten themselves BF's and seem to have disappeared off the planet.

Look, BF and I are mostly together, but if he goes away for work (like this week - he is away all week) or holidays, or goes out on a night on the town with his mates, I am not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself. I just think if she's meant to be moving out in a month, to a place that is miles away from anywhere, wouldn't you spend your free time trying to catch up with friends or something?

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

end rant! sorry guys. Frown just annoyed.

    Anytime! That's what we are here for! (the rant)!

    If I am understanding you correctly, your OCD friend does not want to eat at your other friend's house or eat her food, but she will eat take out? I don't get it. How do you know how clean a restaurant is, if that is the issue and I understanding correctly?

    lol unfortunately ocd doesnt work like that. but no, it's only the tip of the iceberg, not the whole issue. :S

    if it distracts you, I love my iRiver H10. Been working like a champ since I gotten it nearly 3 years ago.

    Well I have a SIL who is OCD (among other things)about cleanliness, but she eats at restaurants and I have not been able to figure that one out. We have to put out paper towels in the bathroom for her when she comes to visit once a year. But she is absolutely the sweetest thing in the world, so we all just go along with it.

    baselle: yes i like it too! it's a lot easier to use i find! but a bit too chunky to run with thats all, which is why i bought a 1gb shuffle. however, you reminded me that im not allowed to run anymore, so i think i will just go ahead and upload those songs on my h10 and walk away! woo! thanks! i dont know why i didnt think about that...

    homebody: yes it is the pits trying to make sense out of their irrational thoughts - when they know it's completely rational for them! my friend has a fear of contamination from drugs. sometimes she doesn't eat anything, so i am completely happy to get Indian takeaway if it means she'll eat something!
