This City Is Contagious!

(EDIT: 50th blog post, yay milestone!)

(Written 2/08/11)

Had a fairly weird last few days. Mood has been swinging from manically happy to I-Hate-Everyone, (before you ask, no, not time of the month shut up.) In fact, I should be at my oldest friend's dinner tonight but I'm not, just for the reason that I really don't feel up to it mentally. I was all ready to go before but suddenly it hit me that I really couldn't do it and I just wanted to sit at home and blog and draw, which is precisely what I am doing at the moment.

Computer has been busted last few days, leaving me severely frustrated with not much to do, and the activities I have been partaking in recently are really a testament to how much I depend on the internet. I read (a lot,) drew, (a lot,) ate, (a lot,) and complained, (a whole fucking bunch.)

(Present)

Despite my late grumpy mood, I did venture out last night and I'm glad I did. But actually, I'm going to force you all to abandon any hope of me actually making a post in, you know, chronological order, and just post random things I've been doing/thinking/buying/making lately.

Because of a dead computer (later found out it was a dodgy video card that had moved or something,) I went back to another hobby which happened to be doodling creepy things and painting them. My room was promptly turned into a makeshift studio, (i.e. I put newspaper on the floor and throw paints everywhere and dig out stationary,) and I would paint until I got bored. I did, contrary to belief, manage to actually complete a few paintings, although the ratio of complete:incomplete is maybe 1:4. (But it always has been that way.)

I've been talking about getting a hat for ages, (not on here... I think I may have briefly mentioned it in the last post but I'm too lazy to even check that...) so I finally got one. Not even sure why, I just wanted one? And my new sunglasses. They don't go with anything and look strange with most things but I fucking adore them.

Like mentioned earlier, actually dragged my lazy ass out the door last night as (a) Savannah came back, and (b) the AIS people had their ball and consequently were all out after. I got all inspired and actually made somewhat of an effort with my outfit in that I did not wear the same things and actually did my hair different for the first time in my life.

I like my new headscarf thing because loads of people complimented me on it and it raised my self esteem and would it be wrong of me to now base my self-worth on this headscarf??? Because I may.

Lan Kwai then Wanchai because most people I was with don't like LKF. Managed to get in, and stuck to my good streak by only having one drink and still had a brilliant time regardless. I think I hit my peak already to be honest in terms of getting trashed and now I've already become old and boring. Just kidding, my crowd is fun aw, even if Lizzy is (a) gone, and (b) with limited internet meaning we haven't had any of our brilliant/fabulous skype conversations lately. Although I may have just switched places with my best friend Chris, based on his drunk ramblings to me this afternoon, (night for him.)

With all that said, everyone is leaving either the end of this week, or soon after, leaving me alone and stranded here forever for a while longer. Not sure if/when any emotional attachment to this place will kick in, but for now, I'm just desperate to leave, and in my usual fashion, I take this desperation out on everyone by complaining non-stop, which happens to be what I am best at. I'm sure a sentimental wait-hong-kong-i-was-kidding-i-love-you post will be coming soon, (loljk no,) but for now, I will content myself with belting out that one bit from We Are The In Crowd's For The Win (I CAN'T TAKE, ANOTHER SECOND IN THIS GOD DAMNED TOWN.)
