rot in peace

this is me for the past 4 days, and probably the next 5 too. this week's online lessons just encourage me to get lazier (is that even humanly possible?).

i've hardly bothered to exercise, shave, or even change my pants these few days. yes, i'm practically in the second phase of decomposition as i write this, though i have to admit, the occasional lengthy hot showers really slow down the decaying process. my mum thinks i'm a decorative artefact in the living room, and everyone else basically treats me like i'm invisible (maybe due to the fact that that's roughly how i've been treating them recently).

my body moves only when nature calls, when i run out of cigarettes, or when i feel like sleeping. speaking of which, i've been keeping really unhealthy hours lately. sleep: 9am to 8pm. i don't even fit into the 'nocturnal' category anymore.

when friends try to call me out, i get them over instead. and while we're on the topic of guests at home, i'd like to make a special mention that kids are running rampant in my house. besides that permanently residing baby sister of mine, my mum decides to take care of my aunts' kids as well. now i can't even rot in peace, having these 3, sometimes 5, little monsters wrecking havoc and creating pandemonium all day, for at least an entire week.

well, like they always say, if you can't beat them, join them. earlier today, i took the first step by watching the madagascar dvd with them, and i have to say, a couple of toddlers laughing hysterically in front of you can really amplify the hilariously enjoyable humour in the show. their not-so-harmonious chanting of 'we loike ta move it, move it', accompanied by peculiar dance-like motions, really tickled me for a while too, but very quickly became an incessant annoyance instead.

in conclusion, i'll just quote: the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. it's gonna be a very, very long week ahead..
