Something out of Nothing...

Is what I'm trying to do here...Yes, I have absolutely no idea what to write about but since when has that stopped me from writing 200-300 words telling absolutely nothing?

.....................................................................................

Wow, 2 minutes and still no idea....

Let's just go cheap and update what I've been doing the past few weeks or so, that should rack up some word counts...

1) Last round's WebDota I finally made into top 20 while the round was still ongoing. I previously managed rank 7, but that was a few days after the round was over and some of the ranked players either dropped or became inactive. So some achievement for me..Yay...Boo... 29 and I'm still into gaming. If word got around to the elders of my society, they'd be drilling me with all the age old sayings of life, marriage, kids and future so I'll have an earful of boredom for like, several days. Luckily for me those elders either are, well, in another plane or the only one left I don't quite give 2 hoots what he has to say.

2) Finally getting to do some project work at work and now I seem to lose interest with what I do. Maybe it's time I change environs....Maybe it's time I do something that required me to WORK 40 hours a week. I'll blog much much less since I can't do it on company time, but hey...For guys like me, career satisfaction is at good as it gets, no?

3) EPL and Fantasy Football. Since my PC crashed when my brother returned to visit from Qatar last June, I've not been able to have my own personal entertainment so I've been having to wrestle the home PC (which is connected to the internet) from my brother recently. It's a daily ordeal; Sometimes I win, sometimes I sleep..hehe, go figure. So no football manager games has forced me (yeah right, like I needed to be forced..) to join some online Fantasy Football games. Not 1, but, 2...no, 3...nope...6..I have 6 different teams in 6 different fantasy systems. (my inkling for 7 should drive me to find another team) Yahoo Fantasy Football, Yahoo Champion's League Manager, Nokia Football Manager, Premier League Fantasy Football, Soccernet Champions League Fantasy and UEFA's Champions League Fantasy. Now where do I find that 1 more???? hmmmm..I wonder if I get more busy with work will I be able to keep up with the jones....

4) House Season 3... The times when I had to sleep but didn't fell like sleeping made me watch House Season 3. Actually, it's more like I want to watch it so I didn't sleep. I still think Season 2 was the best, and the quote," Read less, watch more TV" is my favourite. Season 3 (I've not finished, by the way) is not as original as Season 2 as I feel some old themes reoccur with a slight difference of, characters? I understand from mr. Mark Rosewater (he's the Design dude from Magic: the Gathering that I like to read weekly. He has a weekly article over at M:tG.com. He writes much much better than me too) that series and sitcoms need to keep most of it's content the same and just change a little so that the audience doesn't lose the familiarity thingy, but, I dunno, it just feels like the stories are now being reused.. Having said that, House continues to be House, someone we all love to hate. Not to mention you can't beat the sarcasm...

5) What is happening to Raw Deal??? I haven't spent a single cent on the latest expansion and no longer have the urge to do it..I know all it takes is one visit to the gameshop and lo and behold, I paid rent but dunno...Am I losing that passion I have for the game? Will there be no more annual trips to Singapore for the Qualifiers? I still watch wrestling too, but even their stories are becoming tiresome these days and there are much less things that make me laugh these days. For the people that know me, finding it hard to find things to laugh about, for me, is BAD NEWS...

6) Talking about laughing at things, recently my department just grew from 2 person to 5 person team. Now, in the past my 1 colleague, being a veteran and a mother of 1 daughter, has little to bother with this madman of a colleague of hers and thus I have little need to explain my idiosyncrasies. But now I have 3 OTHER mothers in my department and my random demonic laughs now need to be explained or removed from my work environment. I am not pleased, of course, nor will I likely care...But you see, I'm still trying to write something out of nothing, so I think I got like 70 words out of this???? Hahahaha...

7) Recently on one of my friend's birthday I sent him a late late but on time birthday SMS with no reply. Now this guy I've known for over a decade, through his years when we took buses together, when he could drive but did it like a girl, then sitting on the navigator's seat while he drives half/three quarters asleep; From his girl chasing days to his chased by girls days, to him being steady for 7 years, him splitting up and him being in and out of relationships; Now obviously he should be with his significant other on his birthday, (else I'd give his significant other a good sounding or 2) so for him not to be able to reply that day is acceptable. But it took me 3 days and me calling him to find out he has no credit on his handphone. Lame. Real lame. Oh well, I guess I'm just sensitive over nothing. But damn lame..

I guess friends come and go and when the friendship has ran it's course over its useful years, it just dies away. I've never been able to keep friends for that long anyway, so I end up making new ones every now and then therefore there is absolutely nothing to complain. But it does makes me envy people who have friends from childhood all the way till their deaths....How lucky. They should cherish that all their lives.

As for me, it's not like I didn't know I'm in it for the long haul, alone. I'll get over it...I think...hahaha....

Agree about the friendship. But even those who had friends from childhood doesn't escape from the loneliness. Somehow, altough we amongs soo many people, we always desiring to have someone who really understand us. While, I think, the complex differences of a human, disallow 100% understanding. We only able to regard or disagree.
