Fluey plus bored - whattodo?

Things to do when you are down with the flu AND bored:

1. Record yourself singing to your favorite songs in that blocked-dose boice.
2. Switch on the radio and text in rude/silly responses to the questions being asked.
3. Lie on your back and make out shapes in the ... patches on your ceiling where the paint has fallen from.
4. Score your successful throws of used tissues into the garbage basket. Post on twitter every time you score a basket.
5. Re-organize your bookshelf into alphabetical order, then pull forward the favorites and assign them prime locations, then make labels for the sections or genres and arrange them like that, and then into an aesthetically pleasing line-up.
6. Remain firmly seated or sprawled on your bed and dance to music just by twitching your shoulders and swaying your arms. See how creative you can be.
7. Paint parts of your face with hideous makeup combinations just for fun (rather inconvenient considering the flu status...well EVEN BETTER).
8. Write a blog post.

Oops.

I resolve to...

I feel like The Crutchy Life was one of my best posts. Being bedridden might have contributed a lot to that. Needless to say, I might be able to produce another such masterpiece. Only because my laziness = being bedridden.
I've got a lot to brag about.

Yes. Resolutions. Let's make this serious shall we?

1. I shall not procrastinate...quite so much (jeez, the loophole makes it more realistic, so enough with the pointed looks!)

2. I shall not lie.

3. I shall remember Allah and my purpose in life as much as I can.

4. I shall be grateful and look at those beneath me when in need of such thoughts.

5. I shall be honest with my work. And continue to help those in need.

6. I shall not raise my voice when in civilized company (no 'grumbling' loophole for you, brat!)

7. I shall take better care of myself, health 'n' all.

8. I shall write more, for preservation of my sanity, and everyone else's around me [plus, to help prevent numero 6 from backfiring].

9. I shall continue my quest to search for a way to read ebooks on-the-go (good luck with that, sneered the mean voice in her head).

10. I shall sulk less, daydream less, be less indecent in my thoughts, and spread general goodwill among the public (yeah ok, the last one was just a dud to complete the sentence)

11. I shall not be too friendly to people so I don't have to make new friends and stop creating/sharing the huge emotional vortex/whirlpool.

12. I shall try to consume large amounts of candy.

13. I shall thrive less on the funny feeling. Humor is best left to elbows.

14. I shall help more at home.

15. I shall keep my sense of humor upright (yeah, the funny feeling has nothing to do with being funny, figured that out now, didn't you?)

16. I shall not look at cute guys. I shall not think about cute guys.

17. I shall finish this list, eventually.

the crutchy life.

The Crutchy Life

1. You have lots and lots of time to contemplate life, but you don't.

2. You experience every mood you have ever known, all in one day, everyday. Except perhaps embarrassment, because you start getting immune to that one.

3. You leave the bathroom door wide open most of the time.

4. You master the art of balancing trays on your lap..

5. ..while eating, texting and/or using the laptop.

6. Walking in squares is not that fun anymore.

7. You get room service.

8. You discover the true meaning of the word/object 'bed'.

9. You choose Grey's Anatomy over The Ten Commandments (totally loony).

10. You sleep alot.

11. You start respecting your family more...mostly their level of patience.

12. You run through messaging packages much more quickly, and still feel emptier than ever.

13. Once you sit down, you tend not to get up. for-like-freaking-ever.

14. The day you don't fall in the bathroom is epic.

15. Things like taking a shower, having lunch/breakfast/dinner/tea/brunch, and moving from point A to point B, becomes an event.

16. Yes, you start having lunch+breakfast+dinner+tea+brunch - everyday.

17. You have messy pathetic moments much more frequently.

18. You have messy lovey-dovey/mushy moments, much more frequently.

19. Your sense of humor becomes directly proportional to ... nothing.

20. You can never be fully comfortable out of the house with 'them'.

21. You really really really start hating stairs. Seeing them, hearing about them, climbing on and off them.

22. Final exams may or may not be a blessing.

23. Room service comes with its own call bell.

24. You like to think you're all murderous and can scare ppl at night when they're alone, you think you've got that image now, sans the eyepatch.

25. Your attempts at being a ninja are hopelessly marred by the pretty clinking and clanking and 'thunk-thunk' at every step.

26. You try to be a ninja anyway.

27. You envy ppl who are doing good workouts and wish you could be doing the same even though you know you wouldn't if you weren't in the crutchy life in the first place and won't once you get out of it either.

28. You feel pathetic, but at the same time you feel pathetic for being pathetic, and angry at feeling both.

29. Flowers eventually wilt.

30. You don't do chores. You devise new ones for everybody in addition to all the ones they are doing already in your place.
