Stockwell's Manor
It's Sunday evening in the UK right now. I should get to bed soon, but I don't want to.
I wonder. Will this feeling of, "I want more weekend", just before retiring to get some sleep for Monday, ever stop until I die?
If I didn't have to work anymore, and was financially stable, I'm not sure it would stop. The rest of society would still function on the working calendar and recognise Sunday evening as the end of one week and Monday the dreaded beginning of a new struggle until Friday evening. My week may never have a start and finish, but everyone else's would and I wouldn't be able to escape their reality, since it would affect mine.
I feel like I must be talking like JCVD right now. "Ils ne sont pas, aware".

I have no clear job or direction and life and if it wasn't for Garbage Day being Sunday night, I'd probably never know what day it is. I can't really complain about being an irresponsible bum day in and day out, but there is no real sense of personal satisfaction or achievement when you technically don't have to wear pants or underwear for a month. We all know for Stocky the Achievements Never Cease, so clearly he needs the boundaries of Monday and Friday to maintain his lifestyle. ^_^

It is the Canadian equivalent of Spring Break. We call it Reading Week (I assume) because we have a week to catch up on our reading/homework.MGM wrote:You've been what this week?
At least, that's the plan
Biscuit AWAY!

This is bullshit, not working is in fact freedom from that depressing feeling of not having enough time for yourself. I'm hoping that only working a little bit will save me from it with my next job.Stocky Boy wrote:It's Sunday evening in the UK right now. I should get to bed soon, but I don't want to.

I still wonder what financial security feels like though hehe. Currently not paying any rent or bills (I want to! I ask about it regularly!) so I have the sweet illusion of financial security. Even that feels pretty good.

Stocky, Milligan could be our "in" with the comic creators; even moreso than XIII's stalking of Jason Aaron. I think you need to stop being selfish and look at the bigger picture.Stocky Boy wrote:He hasn't even posted there yet.
Why do I get the nasty feeling that if I post there he'll be hot on my heels. :D
You need to take one for the team
