Thing of the Day
Nov. 9th, 2014 01:49 amYes, I’m thinking of doing one of those. I suck at continuity, so I don’t know for how long I’ll manage to keep it up, but it’s worth a try.
Because, there’s this state where you feel like there’s nothing to count down the days with. And, worse, that there’s nothing to remember the days by. Sure, there’s routine and there’s school (university, actually, I’m second year now. Wow. How did that happen?) and there’re classes, and I meet with my friend Mary on an unofficial weekly sleepover, but…
At the end of the week I look back, and I can’t remember anything concrete for most days. Nothing that was important enough to remember, and that’s just sad, isn’t it?
Do you ever get those times when you talk to a parent, or a friend on a weekly basis and they ask you about something interesting in your life and you can’t think of anything? That’s not for the lack of it, surely! There’s a million small things through the day, like when Ma made me laugh so hard this morning despite my headache, or the fact that I’ve started thinking about my grandma a lot again these days (I guess it’s natural – it’s going to be 6 months since she died in a week) and feeling sad about it. But they just pass with the moment, or the day, and you… forget them. You might find an article you like, you might eat something horrid or delicious, but in a month’s time you’ll remember you’ve done it, maybe, but not the day, not the exact circumstances.
So, I’m going to do this “thing of the day” thing, just so that I remember there’s something important every day. Just so that I don’t start losing track of what’s happening to me.

Yes, so, first thing of the day. I gave a few things up there, and I guess they fit into this category as well, but here goes something interesting: I tried recording myself, and GOD do I hate the way my voice sounds!!! Isn’t it supposed to sound higher to others than it does to myself? I just listened to it and, omg, is that even a woman talking?
Given, I was reading a fanfic told from a male character’s perspective… Is it a good thing, in that case? Huh. If I think of it that way, I might actually decide to give this podficking thing a try. For now this little pitiful attempt is going where the last one is: forgotten on my hard drive until my computer dies for no one to ever know of it.
Although, seriously, if I sound this horrible in person, how do my friends stand listening to me all the time???
