Jeh Returns/Relaxes
Thanks to all for your comments on my last post (as always).
Today is going to be the first truly relaxing day that I've had in the last two weeks. I may take the time to work on something 'net related, actually.
You see, I've been on a term break here for the last couple of weeks. During the first week, I had a lot of "real world work" to attend to. And during the second week, I buried myself in online work, particularly for N-Sider, which I've been behind on.
But it hasn't been the most comfortable week. My sister's boyfriend was practically living with us for the entire week. It's not that I have any problem with him (he's a very cool guy), it's just that everything feels like it's in a state of disarray when this happens.
The fact is, there are six people (including me) living in this house. As you can imagine, we all crave our privacy, under those circumstances. Adding yet another person into the mix only makes it more difficult to enjoy some quiet time.
Part of the problem is that our house is sort of cavernous, in the sense that it's very "open". So, I'm sure that every time I make a large movement in my bed while sleeping, everyone knows about it (my bed has become creakier and I'm sure that it registers quite an echo around the house).
Needless to say, this makes a love life difficult at times (though somehow I manage; it takes more than a creaky bed to stop Jeh-- okay, enough). Ahem. Moving on...
So, living with a lot of people around me makes me appreciate quietness so much more I think. Whether I'm reading a novel by myself, or sitting here on the computer with headphones on...it doesn't matter. The quietness and time alone is great.
Everyone was here yesterday though, sans my dad. And that's a good thing, because we were watching Kill Bill at full volume in the lounge room...and my dad would have been complaining the entire time. He's really the male equivalent of a nun (my brain isn't telling me what that is right now -- a monk? Meh). He complains if a movie has any kind of sexual content or violence. So of course, Kill Bill would really ruffle his feathers.
Having said that, my mother is the complete opposite. As she heard the title music play, she ran upstairs giggling and cried out to everyone "LET'S GET READY TO KILL BILL!"
...
No joke. That's what she said. She's so lame. She's like Marge Simpson, only with a very dark sense of humor. lol
Anyway, there's possibly the most rambly post from me in a long time -- I seem to ramble a lot though. At least I'm doing it here rather than on OB, I guess. ~_^
