Top Ten Stupid Things Ian Might Do This Year
Just a bunch of things ive thought about doing at one time or another.. some are serious.. some are jsut silly.. ill let u decide which =p
10. Grow a Beard
this one is pretty likely.. some days i jsut cant be bothered to shave.. its actually quite unpleasant running a razor blade over your face. i doubt ill shave in japan.. so i might have one when i get back =p actually i saw Kush the other day with a full bushy moustache.. the kind both his and my dad have , mayeb itll work for me too...

9. Get a Cat
Jo is off soon.. so its gonna get even lonelier out here in Thornleigh... i really do like cats.. i kinda miss nige's cats. i wanna get a nice energetic burmese cat of some kind and name her mittens. =)
8. Get a Eye Brow Ring
i dunno how likely this one is really.. cos after my operation my eyebrow is still heaps sensitive and im not really sure i want to be piercing it with anything. but the idea has crossed my mind on a number of occassions, its my kinda style i guess.
7. Move Out of Home
i know ive been saying this for years now.. but this year is different.. =p actually the only difference is that i have heaps more money than i ever did before. im really finding the commute very tedious and its starting to affect my energy levels..im very lethargic nowadays, i think i may have chronic fatigue or something. i might go on a holiday to tuscany and just buy a house under the tuscan sun =p
6. Go Back to Dragonboating
this one is quite likely.. as crazy as it sounds, i kinda miss dragonboating.. i sucked at it a lot.. in fact most of the girls were better rowers than me. i could never ever get up in time for it though. this one is a bit of a tack onto the moving out one.. cos this wont happen until that does.
5. Not Get My License
this isnt that crazy.. other than ill get yelled at by my mother for another year. also it kinda restricts what i do a lot, if i had a license i wouldve added another point which was something like "jsut pack up and drive off into the sunset". cos i could literally fit everything i own into one tiny car.
4. Get a Girl..
man.. it has been a long time, and more than a few people have recently asked me how come i havent got a new gf. i have often said that girls are nothing but trouble, and lately ive seen little to sway me from this opinion. if anything, this new year has confirmed my previous claims... but every now and then i think that there were good things.. i am quite the sucker for hugs. and it is jsut so nice to have someone around who wants to jsut hang with me and talk and someone who doesnt have anywhere else better to be. my NY resolution held firm last year.. i wont make the same resolution.. but at the same time, i dont plan on doing any serious pursuing. i like to just let things happen. (sometimes a bit too much)
3. Go Back to Uni!
eep! this one is on the cards cos a few ppl i know have done it, strayed from computing to find a new career. atm im thinking something like Journalism. i know i dont have the writing skills atm, i do like to write, and i am rather opinionated. ive often read sheralyn's blog and been amazed at her grasp of the english language.. and i wish i could be like that. if not a journo.. maybe a GP.. =p
2. Quit My Job and Move to Canada
i love my job.. so this one is pretty weak, although i have considered the possiblities outside the RBA. im a bit tired of the routine of work atm. The people are great, the pay is substantial, the environment is fantabulous.. i just need to try something out of Sydney for a while. more likely ill take a long stint of unpaid leave at the start of next year to travel and do some volunteer work or some non-IT work overseas.
1. Go To Japan!
ok this one is the most likely.. cos i leave on Tuesday!! *dances around* im ever so excited. i cant wait to get out of this town, it reaks of angst.. intense ian-killing angst. ahh how i anticipate the peacefulness of japanese temples... and snow fields =) Hows the serenity?
