I like my obsession thank you very much.
Aug. 16th, 2004 07:09 pmOk, am over myself now after last night's entry. Wasn't that tired today and I only have to work 12-3 tomorrow. So yeah. Apparently when you tell life it's a pile of shite it at least tries to make you feel better... or not. Since I got up this morning, got ready, was all organised, turned on TV... to find they were showing the Dressage. I adore Dressage. I *never* get to see it since the *very* limited equestrian events our sports channels show usually concentrate on cross country and show jumping, as if the dressage part was unimportant. -_-
So there I was. Watching the first Olympic Dressage I've seen... well, ever I think since I always somehow end up missing the Olympic equestrian events. Watched two tests. Loved it. Could have sat there all week and watched test after test.
Then I had to go catch the bus for work, knowing that it was unrecordable (due to interactive features) and it'd be long finished by the time I got home.
Fuckers.
Then I got home and turned on the TV just in time for Roger Federer to take ten years off my life by losing the second set. o_O If he'd kept that performance up for the third set I would've personally flown out to Athens and kicked his ass myself; I want a Roddick-Federer final thank you very much.
Am hoping I'll get to see at least *some* of the events tomorrow before I leave for work. If I miss much more of the horse-riding I'm just gonna cry - I've been looking forward to watching the Olympics all summer. -_-
I've had the feeling all day today that people think I'm stupid and I'm trying constantly to hammer it into their heads that I'm not and if they don't start listening soon I'm going to break things or storm off or get on a bus going god-knows-where and just keep on going. Because there is nothing worse than being patronised and I think the lack of huge screaming rows I've had this summer is starting to build up. I need a good screaming match every so often just get it all out and lately, I just haven't had the energy and now I'm starting to get narked by little things that shouldn't bug me at all. Danger signs.
Now I have to go and actually DO the huge list of stuff I was planning to accomplish today but couldn't due to work. There's a long list and the first thing on it is something I'd really rather ignore but it's one of those sort-of-important things *sighs*. I hate those.
And, with their usual spectacular timing, parents are interrupting me.
"I'm grateful for the trees, I'm grateful for the sky, I'm grateful..."

EDIT: Andy Roddick's website never fails to crack me up and make me feel better. ^_________^ Am much amused by the $500 bounty for the first girl who manages to kiss him.
I like these women. They sound fun. ^__~
