2001-08-10 I’m tired, but just because I’ve done so many things today. My arms ache because I dragged this hellishly heavy ironing board across the town. I also took my bike to the repair shop. He said I’ll get it back on Tuesday. Cool. It won’t even cost that much. Anyway, first I dragged myself to the centrum to meet the youth group people, then I walked back home (some two kilometres), then to the repair shop (a kilometre), then to a shop to buy the ironing board (three kilometres) and then back home (two kilometres). So I’ve done more than enough walking today. Then, Ta. has sent me a message asking if we could meet. I’m too tired to think of that, but I answered anyhow, and possibly (she hasn’t answered back) got myself something to do for tomorrow, when I only thought of lying in bed and possibly writing another boring diary entry. I still have difficulties trying to contact people. I thought of Ta. today because I walked by her house but didn’t think of contacting her even if I thought it might be nice to meet her. Anyway, I hate sending messages but I hate it less than calling those people. I borrowed one Sisters of Mercy cd and two Dead Can Dance cds from the library today. We had an extra-short group because we only went to the library and ate. It was nice though, because it was something different. No cooking at all which was fun. Next Friday we’re going to Ruissalo, which is this huge outdoor activities area next to the town. I’ve been there once, just walking around, and I liked the place. It’s so deserted, or at least was when I was there. I love watching the trees, and the sea and so on. It’s not autumn enough for the leaves to be yellow and red and brown like they were last time I was there, which is a shame. I love autumn, even if I get more depressed. I adore the fog and the trees and the rain and the air getting crispy and colder. When the winter comes, I usually want to kill myself, but autumn is fab. ‘The serpent’s egg’ is wonderful. I think I shall invest in some more Dead Can Dance cds. I only have one (‘Aion’) and it isn’t enough. I wish diaryland profiles allowed more space for favourite bands. Five just isn’t enough. I once counted and I have more than a hundred cds, and I like most of them. (Some of them I don’t listen to anymore, but I used to like them all.) Anyway, my favourite online book store has started to sell cds at some point, and I could find things like Mesh and Boards of Canada on it. I couldn’t find Puressence, which is shitty and somewhat surprising, because it’s the largest collection of cds I’ve met this far. (The only thing I searched on it that wasn’t there was Puressence and I searched for some strange cds, too.) When I lived in that small town I had a fave record store that did sell Puressence, but I’m not sure if I can get it anywhere here. I assume not. My hands are shaky. I don’t know why. I think I'll write more later, because I got an interesting e-mail. | older aion spindrift e-mail my profile diaryland.com
