I'm not gonna say I'm back for good, it's like a jinx. But the plan is (at the moment) to post more frequently. We'll see.
So, firstly, WASSUP? How have you all been? Flippin' fantastic, I sincerely hope! I've just come back from playing mother to my 17 year old cousin for two weeks, cooking his meals and whatnot. That boy is seriously sheltered. What 17 year old needs/wants someone to stay with him? But we ended up having fun and I enjoyed cooking the meals. We've always had a tricky relationship and I'm entirely to blame for that, being a jealous kid and all, but I think we bonded. Hounding someone with invasive, personal questions tends to yield some insight into people. It's the Kylie way.
Also, I'm on Prozac now, and loving it. I have not been upset or been in a super bad mood for four months. The doc put me on it to help with my OCD too and it hasn't done much for that but he did tell me to get some psychotherapy too (anybody else think of Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, when they hear that word? *shiver*) so I suppose I have to combine the two to get the results I want.
I quit smoking a few weeks ago and I lasted a week before I started again. Not because I craved one, but because I was bored shitless in the first week of looking after my cousin. Anyway, I've been smoking for two weeks, but I'm on my last (no, really, LAST!) packet now. Should be done by Wednesday. The whole quitting thing was surprisingly easy. The only day I really suffered was the second day, where I got quite shitty with everyone, but it passed within hours.
Current obsessions: Merlin. I think the term 'ho-yay' was invented for shows like this. I just watched episode ten,
The Moment of Truth, and it is one of the slashiest episodes of ANYTHING I have ever seen. Awesome.
Flight of the Conchords. Hilarious band. I'm a bit late on that boat, but nevermind. Hiphopopotamus Vs. Rhymenocerous has gotta be my favourite song on the album.
Jake & Amir. This web series KILLS ME. Amir is one of the funniest characters EVAH, fo sheezy. His lines are instantly quotable and the kind that will have you chuckling hours later. The newer episodes aren't as good as the older ones unfortunately (the link will take you to their 'best of' episodes though) but hopefully things will pick up. All you have to know if you click the link (and PLEASE do, you won't regret it) is that Jake and Amir work at the College Humor website (which incidently is also really good). Jake is normal. Amir is...a mixture of things. Half mentally retarded (he does not know how to spell 'Jake' for instance and thinks VP stands for rainbow instead of 'vice president'), half man-crushing on Jake, who he tries to dress like and constantly seeks his approval/tries to be his best friend and half 'loser-who-just-moved-out-of-home'. He still thinks eating take-way is the coolest thing (in fact, he only eats chicken nuggets. And I do mean only) and brags about getting drunk (even though he's unlikely to have ever tasted even beer). He's also dumb enough to believe half+half+half is an actual equation. It's...downright brilliant sometimes and I can't rec it enough. Watch
this for example. Featuring a blooper at the end.
Coming sometime in the next few days...free music!
