Things I like,starting with 'T'

My Bloggy Friend,Ruggy at Adorably Distracted,challenged me to come up with 10 things I like/enjoy,that start with the letter 'T'.

My mind is like black hole at the moment,but lets see if I can conjure up some ideas.

1.Texting
I hate,hate,hate talking on a phone,but I love,love,love texting people,especially my best friend L

2.Tuna
On a warm summers' day,I like nothing better for lunch,than a tuna and mayo salad,or sometimes a tuna sandwich.I don't really like fish,but I love tuna

3.Television
I've always enjoyed watching TV,and when you're really bored,or you're just not in the mood for anything too strenuous,watching TV is the best thing to pass the time

4.Trains
Well,not this old type (I just liked the picture),but still,I've always loved trains,but in South Africa they have almost entirely gone out of use,and when you do see a train,it is really something special.I'm hoping my boyfriend and I can take a train trip up to visit his family in the north of South Africa at the end of the year,rather than flying or taking a bus

5.Toys
Even though I'm nearly 26,I still enjoy playing with my niece and nephews and their toys.I guess it reminds me of my childhood,and all the fun we used to have,and for that little while while you're playing with the toys,you get to forget about adult responsibilities

6.Tattoos
I adore tattoos,and would love to have a few,but I am always afraid I won't be able to decide on a tattoo I will be happy with for life.Meanwhile,I just admire other people's tats,and respect them for having the guts to go through with it

7.Tea
Well,to be more specific,the Long Island Iced Tea-variety.It tastes refreshing,and gets you into a 'happy place' pretty damn quickly

8.Tears
Ok,I don't know if it's just me,but I find a hot guy crying and looking sad to be the hottest thing ever.I suppose it brings out my natural instincts to take care of them or something

9.Trees
It might sound odd,but one of my favorite things in the world,is a tree.Nothing makes me happier than being in a place with lots of trees,where you can lie in the shade and read a good book.Trees give life,and not only that,they make everywhere they are look beautiful.I feel physically sick when I see a tree getting chopped down,but also feel an abundance of hope when a new tree is planted.I always recycle,in order to do my little part for nature

10.Thoughts
And last,but by no means least,thoughts.Good thoughts,bad thoughts,loving thoughts,sad thoughts,it really doesn't matter.I like 'em all.Why?Because every day we have to censor what we say and do,but no one can censor your thoughts,they are yours,and yours alone,and no matter how rich,poor,old or young you are,you are always entitled to them and can take them with you,wherever you may go

Success

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

George Bernard Shaw

In a world obsessed with reaching success,this is kind of a strange way to look at achieving success.But I like it.

Feeling bland on Friday

It's nearly lunch time on a Friday,and I'm not even excited that its nearly weekend.I'm always excited for the weekends,even if we don't have anything planned.Not today.I guess I'm starting to feel the funk that a lot of the bloggers I follow have been writing about.I had so hoped it would skip me,but I've never been very lucky,and sure as I'm sitting here,the funk has got me.And unfortunately its not the fun 70's music style I'm talking about.

Firstly,I'm really,really missing my best friend.We chatted again on Facebook this morning,and everytime we talk about when we can maybe get together and see each other again,we end up realising neither one of us has any money for a long trip,and she just started her new job,so she can't take leave yet,and also,she and her boyfriend are still living with other people,so we can't stay with them if we want to visit.And I definitely don't have money to stay in a hotel or something.They happen to live in a very sought after little seaside town,so accommodation is very expensive.

Like I said,I'm completely broke right now,and can therefor not buy any groceries,so the cupboards at home are so empty right now,and it's kind of an attack on my soul having to prepare the same meal every night,because there are only the same 3 or 4 ingredients in the house.I'm not a good cook to begin with,but when your ingredient options are so extremely limited,it makes cooking even more difficult.

JC isn't in a very good mood these days.And like always,he clams up and refuses to talk about whatever is bothering him.But to be quite honest,I'm not even in the mood to try and drag it out of him,because I have my own depressing thoughts to occupy my time,and don't even feel like helping him solve whatever problem he has.What does piss me off though,is that when he is in this type of bad mood,he completely cuts off all physical contact with me.So no real kissing or hand holding or sleeping all snuggled up.That is what really gets me.

I keep thinking about the money we owe,and how we're going to pay it all back and how long it's going to take,and it makes me so sad,because at the rate we are going,we'll only be paid off in 3 years,and then we can only start saving for getting married.It's times like this that I think Brangelina has the right idea,and I just feel like SCREW IT,I refuse to get married,I'm just going to go on like I am right now.

There are some more stuff bothering me,but I don't think it would be wise to write about it,because I'm depressed enough as it is.

I seriously need to get drunk,like pronto!Why is alcohol so freaking expensive?And why can't I get my salary in the half of the month?Why do I have to wait til the very end for it?Life is soooo unfair.
