Probably should have done something.

Yes, I had noticed yesterday was Spirit Day. Although I wasn't aware of it beforehand, I was a little surprised at the purple shade at the top of DA's pages that doesn't quite look right along side the rest of the site's pale olive colour scheme. Still, at least ethe purple was for that - had I not known better I'd have thought it was yet another site or game doing a ruddy Hallowe'en overlay.

No, I didn't do anything for Spirit Day in the end. I've only got two purple tops - one's a T-shirt which isn't warm enough to wear in the current weather (could have worn it underneath other tops, but that'd defy the point), and my purple polo shirt's in the wash so unavailable. Even had an idea for a picture I was going to draw (something involving Hark - closest thing to Shining Furce's resident LBGT character - nabbing Kurru's purple armour and proudly sporting it for the day), but didn't do so in the end. You can probably guess what I wasted my time on instead. Still, I guess getting "A Curiously Coquettish Kyantol Cleric" online counts in a small part, given Grace is wearing her mainly purple outfit there.

Also, apparently Monday was the NES's 25th birthday. I hope I got the date right, seeing as I celebrated by finally playing a Metroid game an getting the original on Wii VC. Damn those speed runners. They make the game look far too easy.

Okay, that's those days aside. Let's get onto today. Because today was supposed to be an important day for me and the family for reasons I'm wary of openly revealing. Unfortunately, after very stressful scrabblings over the last couple of weeks and bankers living up to their Cockney rhyming slang, it's not happened, and I'm not sure when it will happen. General mood is fairly depressive, and many people will have noticed how over the last couple of weeks my mood has been far, far from jolly (or when it has it's been that manic depressive extreme of jolly) and any errors on my part have felt a dozen times worse, especially when they're pretty minor errors repeatedly being called.

Of course, this hasn't been helped by a spending review from the government that may as well have been a list of different groups of people followed by the words "you're fucked". If there's any small benefit to what I and pretty much every British citizen I know is looking at with great misery, at least it means that if I am stuck living in my mother's house by the time I'm forty (which doesn't seem very unlikely given circumstances), I can blame it on the Coalition screwing us over rather than what some would consider an untangible force or deity.

I missed Spirit Day as well. I noticed the purple but paid it no mind and didn't learn till afterwards what was up. Felt bad because I have plenty of purple I could have worn too but oh well.

Sounds like things are tough where you are. Governments everywhere seem to be focused on screwing over their people. Don't get me started on the crazy happening here in the states. And yeah, I'm still sharing space with my mom and sis. I could well be forty before I get my own place.
