A Blissful Phonecall

Hi there,

Thought I would update again, as a means of warming up my slacking brain. I haven’t written anything since the last blog, as I have been way too lazy and I felt that I needed more time to rest. I still need to rest, but since I am getting bored of the elephant orphanage programme my dad is watching at the moment, I decided to come here to try and overcome this annoying mental fatigue I have.
I am currently quite happy, which is a wonderful feeling considering how down I felt this morning. It was one of those times where you are spending way too much time focusing on the quality of your life. I looked around my room. The open wardrobe showed striped tops and Punky Tees that are two to four years old and my DVD collection only comprise of the Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and X-Men films. I really could do with the Glee box set, and then I’d be able to feel actual joy when sitting in front of the TV screen, instead of watching re-runs of TV shows I have already watched 50 times. Yes, I could buy it…when I have enough money to be able to indulge in such luxuries. Not to mention, I have no car and Daysavers have annoyingly risen to £3.50. Yes, Centro really loves to rip us off. This means I have to be quite economical with my days out and unfortunately going out once a week is not enough for me.
But what really got me down was when I compared this summer to the last, where I met someone who made me feel incredibly happy. As I was beginning to wonder when my life was going to gain that zest again and when the hell I was going to meet an incredible guy who will not eventually break my heart, my mum called me from downstairs, telling me that someone wanted to speak to me on the phone.
I scampered down the stairs and into the living room, where I snatched the phone from the table. To my joy, it was someone from one of the companies I applied for; asking when would be the perfect time for a phone interview.
After arranging a time, I put the phone down, grinning. After years of persuading employers to hire me, I finally found one who wants to. Yes I have had jobs before, but only short shifts and most of my work experience comprise of volunteering. I am not setting my hopes up, for there will be competition. But I just hope that I get this job, for it would be brilliant to get some routine and maturity in my life.
In the mean time, I will be taking a few days off from writing…and the West Midlands. My brother, sister-in-law and I have planned to go to Scotland tomorrow, depending if the weather in the latter is good. If not, then it will be Cornwall. Either way I am not too fussed. In fact, I think this is the perfect time to do some camera snapping and note taking with regards to the Edenic surroundings and vast lakes and seas. Moreover, considering that the next part of the novel will be set on a sea, this break will be particularly useful.
With regards to the Asian short story, I was again too fatigued to come up with any brilliant ideas. I think I will be brainstorming over the next few days when I have time to chill in the Bed and Breakfast…
