busy packing for our big move!!!

xa is away in maine with his mum & dad and i'm in his room being sad & lonely :( well not really, i ate a soft boiled egg for dinner so i'm more or less happy. YES THAT'S ALL I ATE TODAY. as well as some arizona mango drink. people always think i'm on a diet but i'm not. i used to be a perpetual dieter but i really am not making any conscious effort to watch what i eat now. i just... don't have the same kind of appetite i used to. i can last a day on a small bowl of noodles, it's slightly depressing how little i eat, and i imagine when i go home for christmas it'll be weird not being able to finish my cheong fun or mee yoke or whatever.

i've got a few more things to pack - namely xbox, 2 pairs of shoes, random books i have lying around my place and other random shit i have scattered around xa's room. i bought marvel vs capcom 3 and fable 3 the other day. the former is fun. i love marvel vs capcom. fable 3, on the other hand, is like playing the sims in combat mode. i have never come across such a convoluted and boring RPG. an RPG that doesn't have a health meter, doesn't have any kind of menu. an RPG where the path you must take is literally lit up with sparkling dust so you won't get lost. an RPG where you can have sex with NPCs and get pregnant! and buy a house! wtf. like i said, the sims in combat mode.

while xa is gone, i am in charge of looking after my room and his. in the morning i go back to my place to see fermata, in the afternoon when fermata is asleep i come back to xa's place to clean up, around dusk i go to see fermata again, and come back to xa's place at night to sleep. i realized that i'm not actually lazy to get up and walk from place to place; i think it's just that when xa is around i'd much rather be in the same room haha.

that being said, i have little to blog about. will put up pictures of the new place once we move and sort it out! we're also planning to get a second ferret to keep fermata company, so we won't feel so shitty when we leave him at home by himself.

errrr. and what else. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE SLAM DOORS!!! it's one thing to slam doors when you're angry, but some people just slam doors all the time and it's really annoying. caleb does this a lot. he will probably lose most of his hearing in the next 3 years.

i also think that people who talk about being champions of justice/integrity/love/faith/whatever are full of shit. mostly. people who bash religion are full of shit. as are overly religious people, but i guess that's just a long-winded way of saying all extremists are full of shit. but you don't even need to be an "extremist" to be full of shit. you don't need to want to kill people and do dangerous things. anti-whatever sentiment is borne out of dissatisfaction with a system, but with this world being so large, the system we find fault with is often only a very tiny fraction of a larger system that may contain much better groups (can't find the word). organizations that better represent, or more positively/humanely represent their cause, or faith. i don't like seeing christians bash non-christians because there are plenty of good non-christians out there who don't do anything wrong, who live virtuous lives, give to charity, help others, etc. but i also don't like seeing the reverse, because there are plenty of good christians who are kind and loving and not in your face.

in a nutshell, in everything, practice moderation! in being condescending towards someone else's beliefs, practice moderation. in promoting your own beliefs to someone else, practice moderation. in adopting ideologies, practice moderation. IN EATING, PRACTICE MODERATION.

alright time for bed. good night!
