Starting to feel a lot like Sunday
Mar. 9th, 2003 12:58 pmI'm having a weird sense of Sunday deja-vu. Spent the first 3 hours of the day watching cartoons then had breakfast cereal for lunch... Not done that since I was still at school.
Talking of which, I was thinking about that "advice to your 12 year old self" thing that's been floating around. I spent ages trying to think of things to advise my 12 year old self about but it was either really depressing stuff or things that remain better unadvised.
In the end it boils down to I think, only a couple of bits of advice.
Take and keep more photos, no matter how bad you think they are right now.
No one is immortal and nothing lasts forever, no matter how much it seemes like it at the time.
Don't be sarcastic about Convent School girls. It's the place you learn to love rock music and finally discover the joys of just being stupid for once. Flights of fancy are good.
College is so much more fun than school you'll wonder why you were ever scared to go.
And finally, don't wear the big-assed New-Rock boots when you go to Manchester to see Dream Theater. You'll regret it when you try to shop in them the next day cause it really fekking hurts.
That's about it I think. There's lots more I could say but in general it would seriously dampen today's pretty chipper mood.
I should write. I really, really should... I should cook, I really, really should... I should finish cleaning, I really, really should... I should stop watching endless cartoons on CNX, I really, really should...
I'm not gonna' do any of them.
