*kills broken record*
I'm working my way there, slowly. But I'm not going to bother talking about stress because I know people have heard enough. I'm not trying to ignore it and live in ignorance that it's happening, but being constantly obsessed with how bad things are is a terrible way to go on living.

So, to Brighter Days
I took my little sister into town today so we could do some little bits of shopping: I bought the X OVA, Half-Life 2: Collector's Edition *squees at Sennen*, an Aliens vs Predator poster and Sense and Sensibility. Anything with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman in it has to be nothing less than orgasmic.

I really hate Christmas shopping. not only does the amount of people in a particular place quadruple at any one time, the amount of stuff you can actually buy halves and everyone seems to lose all concept of spatial awareness. They see the shops and immediately dive in to desperately claw themselves a gift for their aunt's sister's mother-in-law's cat without even thinking about the person coming up towards them on their left.

I walk fast and alwats keep a clear view in my head of where I'm going, but at least I'm not dense enough to either stand dead still in the middle of a corridor or bump into people like a drunk possum.

Half-Game
I've had so many problems with Half-Life 2 I'm tempted to just throw it away. Don't get me wrong: it's a great-looking game and I've been wanting the chance to play it for lord knows how long. But the thing won't bloody work!. It crashes whenever it loads a new section, meaning I can ony get so far on the first level before I have to restart the computer and try all over again. And there's a problem with the textures: every so often large areas of ground or wall get replaced with this black wallpaper with coloured spots on it. Although pretty, it's not what I want to see.

And at the moment there doesn't seem to be a way of fixing either problem. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them. "Buy a new computer" seems to be the most ideal solution, but I know it works at least some of the time.

It's incredibly frustrating. What's a little more infuriating is that the Half-Life: Source edition is barely any different to the first original game: it doesn't even have the 'High Definition' Pack enabled. Hmm... at least I got a nice big tin, T-Shirt and book.

I've not watched X or Sense and Sensibility yet. I'll probably do that during the week sometime, when I'm not with Jeremy, heh.

I wish the Christmas holidays were longer. 18 days isn't really enough, especially when four of those days are bank holidays and everyone's jetting off to do things with everyone else when they have time away from jetting off to see other people.

I just want more time to stay in bed, heh. At least until my body and mind have fully recovered from all this stress. I don't think I'd want to go back to college if I weren't ready to face it. I guess that goes without saying, though ^_^;

I wish everyone all the best. Hopefully I'll be able to get on AIM tomorrow afternoon at some point, although I can't promise anything. It could get quite busy here, heh.

Toodles.
