5. How To Be Dead - Snow Patrol
Had my first snowboarding dream of 2006 last night.
Just a few days into the new year, its bloody hot outside and here I am dreaming about the snow. Can't really remember much of it, but I was definitely boarding at a higher degree of ability that what I possess. That and my board was really really scratched up.
Strange days huh?
So this week is pretty much like last week in that I'll be working every night. Pulling in a total of 32 hours, which equates to enough money for my accommodation fees for my upcoming trip. Well that's the plan anyway.
Had one of those conversations yesterday where I was asked, "What's wrong, you sound sad..." Now these conversations aren't good at the best of times, but they take another turn when you're actually not sad or depressed. But it got me thinking about stuff.
Stuff.
I like stuff, Now I really can't see what stuff could be annoying me at this moment. I've got a holiday coming up in a two weeks, and more importantly, I have some graduate employment already lined up for the start of 2007, meaning that I won't have to jump through all those grad app hoops and trials and fights to the death in the coming months. So what's bothering me?
Umm nothing.
Well I still have Jo's cds. That's not good karma.
You see, a few months ago my friend Jo decided to travel the world for a while, and me being the good friend that I am, decided to go over and pretty much steal her entire cd collection. My justification was that the cds wouldn't be used anyway, so if anything I was providing a valuable service in ensuring the cds were in working order when she came back.
To cut a long story short, Jo came back sometime in November 2005. Needless to say, I've still got her cds.
And just if you wanted to know, this falls under the category of conversion of a chattel in tort law. (Who in god's name would want to know that?)
So yeah, maybe I have this enormous guilt thing working against me right now. I really really should do something about it. Maybe something along the lines of returning her cds.
And Snow Patrol? Yup you guessed it, its hers as well.
