Not a productive day

devilgrrlI avoided productivity today. I needed to call Blaine and finish cleaning my room up. I did neiher. I did, however, decide to start redecorating my room as soon as possible. I'm really tired of looking at nothing but four off-white coloured walls. I'd actually really like to repaint them. Even the same shade of cream would be fine. They're just so smudged and dirty looking. I'll have to ask the Evil Landlord if that would be all right with him. I don't see why it wouldn't be. I mean, technically, it would be saving him money.
Anyhow, I started looking for material for curtains today. I haven't seen anything, so far, that really caught my eye, but I did find some fleece material that I would like to make a blanket out of. I just need to find out if we have a sewing machine before I buy the material. I'm not that dedicated to redecorating. I also need to get my act together and see about how much I will need to put down on a new bed. My bed now is, to be kind, pathetic.
I originally had a futon when I first moved to Massachusetts. I managed to sleep on it for almost three years, but it started to really hurt my spine. So, last winter, my mommy bought me a bed. She bought it from Mattress Discounters, which is the worst place in the world to purchase anything. It's slightly smaller and shorter than a normal double bed, so I could never get sheets to stay on it. The springs are all misshapen, the box spring broke the month after the warantee expired, the thick wire framing around the mattress somehow managed to snap and bend up, and so firth. Plus, it hurts my back more than the futon ever did. My doctor implored me to buy a water bed. Now I just need the funds.
Wow.. The sun just literally set in the last ten minutes. It was still light outside when I took out the garbage and now it's dusky. Coincidentally, this is my favourite time of the day. I have my window open right now, watching the cars go by and the sky get progressively darker. It's pretty cool to be able to just sit and watch everything happen while I drink my cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee and let my MacIntosh Apple candle burn down.
That sunset was a perfect metaphor for life. It'd like how you see your life as being one way and unchanging and then, all of a sudden, you look up and nothing it the same and you realised that you've missed out on a lot. I feel like that a lot lately, only that I have yet to look up. It feels like all I'm doing right now is waiting: waiting to start school, waiting to go back to college, waiting to graduate, to move out... It feels like everything is stalled, like it's five minutes before a storm hits. You know that it's coming, the air is quiet and heavy and there's nothing to do, but wait for that breaking point.
It's completely dark outside now. For some reason, it feels like it should be the middle of December, not August.
I'm going to eat my last Pop-Tart.
