You know, it's funny. In yesterday's entry, I was going on about how I felt fine, despite sounding mopey whilst I was writing my blog, and as soon as I press "Publish", I start to feel lonely. It's a feeling that hasn't left me alone today, so I'm assuming that Mena's absense has struck me now. I've not been in a particularly merry mood today, because I can't help thinking about how much fun Mena's having right now, and how little fun I'm having. As I might've said yesterday, she's out having fun, and I'm working which, whether it be at Specsavers or TK Maxx, isn't really going to be all that fun. Still, I'm not gonna dwell on that for the third day in a row, so let's move on.

It turns out I will be getting a card from work...well, from Sam, actually. He told me this morning that he's gone and got me a card and a present. Dunno what yet, mind, because he forgot to bring them with him to work, so I'll find out Saturday, when I take my uniform in. Naturally, I'll tell you then.

Speaking of Saturday, one thing I'm not looking forward to is my driving lesson. I've given it much thought, and I've decided that I'm probably just one of those Crap Drivers that people always moan about. Who knows, after some of the mistakes I've made, maybe I'm already moaned about. Still, I've had 13-14 lessons, and I'm still making basic mistakes, so something's up. We'll see what happens this weekend.

There still hasn't been anything monumentally important for me to talk about, I'm afraid. Work was pretty slow and boring, partly because of my state of mind, and partly because the jobs I was given to do were rather boring and uneventful in themselves. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, though. In theory, I shouldn't be in the cash office anymore, but I don't know whether Tash will follow the rules or not. I'm not fussed either way, and I'm not quite sure which one I'd prefer doing.

One thing I am looking forward to is extra sleep You see, I don't start work at Specsavers until 9, so I can afford to wake up at 8, which is 75 minutes extra sleep than what I'm getting now, so I should start feeling more relaxed and stuff fairly shortly. Some days my mood is purely down to how tired I feel. It can make my happiness rather muted, or it can make my sad and lonely days worse, so having extra sleep is definately a plus, even if all it does is help me decide whether I'm happy or not.

I said I'd take pictures of my MGS4 Limited Edition boxset, and I didn't. I'm sorry. I'll take some tomorrow, I've got longer to do it. Not really been in the mood to do much today, as evidenced by the fact that all I have done today, since coming home from work, is watch three or four episodes of Transformers. I did have a bit of a headache though, so that's why I decided to take a day off from gaming. Normal service should resume tomorrow.

Oh, tomorrow's Friday the 13th, which I'm not looking forward to. I've never been superstitious, but apart from one or two occurances, there's always something that goes wrong for me. The mix of my last day at work and Tash seems less like a coincidence now. I have a feeling she's gonna bollock me for something, anything, just to try and stick the knife in one last time before I go. The joke's on her though, I've employed a couple of failsafes just to show them why they shouldn't rely on one person to do everything. I'll tell you more about it in the next couple of days.

In music related news, I've started on a few new tracks, one of which is a version of I Hope You Listen to This Song Everyday, the track which will eventually be about Mena. It's a bit heavier than I would've liked it to be, but at the moment I'm just toying with ideas, so I might tone it down. I've also completed work on the very first Overdose track (announcement tomorrow), which is called A Sombre Introduction, and I've got a couple more Living Sedative demos in the works, one of which is called Voyage into the Uncharted. I quite like that one, it's definately on my "To Finish Soon" list. Also on that list is Cold Spot on the Sun. It's 1:44 long at the moment, but I want the finished track to be around the 7-8 minute mark. I've got a track called Demo 2, which has a bit of a Final Resolution sound to it (you know, it sounds like it wraps things up), so I think that might be the track I end up calling Going Out With a Bang.

Speaking of going out with bangs, it's about time I wrapped this blog up. Tomorrow I shall tell you what Overdose is exactly, I'll get around to showing you MGS4 pics, and I might mention how my last day at TK Maxx went. God, how I've looked forward to this day. Since around December 2006, in fact LONG time overdue.

Until tomorrow

P.S. I promise not to feel lonely when I press "Publish" tonight.
