Nothing All Day

Yes, I've been doing essentially nothing all day. I also can't think of any better title. I think I need a day to work on my book. One solid day. If I had thought of that this morning, I would be a lot better off. But anyway, to my day. And because I did nothing, I'm also going to do a random list. Because they're awesome.

I woke up at 7:30 (I could have sworn it was later), and went on my laptop for an hour and a half. It was annoying, in a way, because my entire web history has spontaneously deleted. Why? I don't know. Anyway. Then after breakfast and so on, I went on my laptop again, and promptly spent up until lunch in my brother's room (I don't even know how. I tried to go back to my room, but I couldn't be bothered getting up.) I went on MSN and Spore. I wish I could say I did more than that. Well, I played Solitaire, though I think that goes without saying. I was asking a day of relaxation: not any more. That was boring! Now I'm asking for a day of work, but my own work. So working on my book, or something like that. OK. Then it was time for lunch, and we (my Dad, my brother and I) all went down to Red Rooster, in which the service was fortunately uneventful (or unfortunately, it made for a great anecdote). Then after we got home, I went back on my laptop, of which the time on it was basically only interspersed with some brief chores and dinner. Now I'm on MSN, listening to 'Gold Digger' by Kanye West, the song stuck in my head today, over and over again (which I tend to do a lot when there is a song stuck in my head), and blogging, naturally.

OK, so my day wasn't that exciting. Or event-filled. Tomorrow will be very different though, I'm going to the Carlton-Sydney match at the SCG. I want Carlton to win, and looking at the ladder, you would easily predict Carlton would win, but there's a big problem: The last time Carlton beat Sydney was in 2000, and the last time they beat them in Sydney was in 1993. Before I was even born. So if they win, I'll be ecstatic. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah: the list. Today's one: Things I should pp doing.
*Stop playing Solitaire so much: This really seems to be an obsession for me. I've already played it twice since I've started writing this. Even when I'm bored at school sometimes, I get out my cards and play it. Maybe because I'm always playing it on my iPod, and it's on my laptop as well. That or I've been too long away from 13 and I need cards. Probably both.
*Repeatedly listening to songs: I've been listening to 'Gold Digger' over and over. But the thing is, I don't mind it. I end up accidentally memorising the song, then singing it. I have a knack for memorising songs, or parts of them, and a habit of singing them. Fun for me, but nobody else in earshot.
*Putting stuff off: On any timescale, really. I will get lunch... in about half an hour. I will blog.... in about an hour. I will start my book... tomorrow. Though I won't be able to do it tomorrow, because I'll be at the footy. Maybe when I've got a while alone or my brain starts working. I figure once I start the book, it'll be easier to keep going.

OK, that's enough of my rant/list. To comments. 6, from 4 or 5. That 'or' is there because I think comments 1 and 2 are by the same person. And, here we go:
*Anonymous: I reckon, I've been wanting to write a book for ages.
*Dad: I'll have to have a look at that. Thanks, Dad!
*John: It took something like 45 minutes. They were pretty efficient. That 'me' and 'I' thing wasn't my idea, but I wish it was. And thanks for the praise, Philosophy King! (lol.)
*Shafi: It seems everybody collects really arbitrary stuff. My brother collects rocks, and anything with a skull on it. Maybe someday I'll have a look at all of my currency collection (ah, 'someday'. The cry of the serial procrastinator.).
*Karen: Halfway through the holidays already? Half-yearlies? Why is it holidays go so quickly but school just seems to go so slowly? And if you want philosophy like that, just read John's blog: he's the master in that area. Don't worry, I never feel like cleaning my room. If I know where everything is and you can still see the floor, then it does not need cleaning. That's what I think anyway.
*Karen: Halfway through the holi... wait a minute. Déjà vu... Nah, it's fine. These things happen. More comments, hey! Lol.

That concludes today's post. Longer than I thought it would be, considering what happened or today (nothing). Tomorrow should be a fairly long one, and the next few days after that, I'll be in Canberra, I think. So if I post weirdly, that's why.

I will start my book before the end of the holidays,
