Amusement Value
Apr. 7th, 2007 03:50 pmSince a tendon or ligament or something in my right knee seems to be giving me some trouble at the moment, instead of having a lovely lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo and weaselbitch, I will be at home, in my nightwear, building a Victorian-style Sims 2 neighbourhood. I have new downloads. Yay!
Dear gods, I'm bored already.
Seriously, it's like summer holidays were back when I was in school (at least, before the days that I got shipped off to summer camp for the entire summer every year). It sounds like a fantastic thing in theory - the work is dull, you're generally fed up with the whole thing, you can't wait for the holidays ... and then the holidays actually start, and the boredom sets in. Is it really just that we're so used to having our time structured that we can't cope with the idea of copious amounts of free time and squander it through not knowing what to do with it?
Well, bugger that. I'm going to enjoy my holiday, godsdamnit. I'm going to get up to at least level 35 in cookery in FFXI (I got to 33 last night), and I'll build my Victorian Sims 2 neighbourhood, and I will by all the gods enjoy this holiday if it kills me. I may even do some more writing, depending on time, mood and inspiration. I'm not going to wind up sitting around and asking, "Where did the holiday go?"
In other news, as it's Easter, I decided to revive an old Neilson family tradition. I don't know how many households still do the Easter egg hunt thing, where parents hide a bunch of chocolate eggs and bunnies and such around the place for other family members to find, but we used to do it until I turned ten. Twenty years on, I decided to revive the tradition fordodgyhoodoo, who laughed a lot and said I was daft. Or mad. Or something, anyway. Still, he seemed to have enjoyed himself, which is the main thing. Yeah, I have my childish moments (xref: "CONFETTI!") but at least they're amusing.
