Month after month

Right, another month of not writing anything. Because I feel like I've not been doing anything.

Now, thinking about it, I don't think that's true. Things are happening. Perhaps many things. Things involving me. However, there is no sense of completion; things have not happened, they are just forever about to happen.

I'm moving in a week. Hopefully. It seems like this has been about to happen for quite some time, and yet only now is it actually near. I'll be happy when it's actually done, the anticipation is killing me. So, I still need to get things packed, and then there's the fun of moving. But that's okay, I think I quite enjoy that stuff when I get into it, it's the waiting that kills.

Other things I feel like I'm waiting for. I want to go adventuring. Well, that's not going to happen, but I'm desperate to get out there and do something. To go climbing, to walk up some mountains, that kind of thing. Two things which are becoming quite important to me. I want to go climbing regularly. Hopefully get to a reasonable standard, get into proper climbing outside. That just seems like it will never happen, it's killing me. The problem here, see, is that climbing is an activity for two. I've never got around to looking for a climbing partner for two reasons: I'm not so good at that kind of thing, and there are plenty of people around me who say they'll go. But it never seems to happen.

So, hopefully something will happen on that front.

With respect to getting out in the mountains, this is another reason why I can't wait to move. Until that's done I can't really just go away for the weekend, I have things to get sorted. I'll need to take a trip ASAP. I guess in two weeks I'll go somewhere, let's hope for good weather then.

Still. I went to the climbing wall with dearg the last time he was up, which was good, and I was up Arthur's Seat last night. Probably tomorrow if it the weather's not too bad. I've played badminton twice this week, and I'm on for twice next week. So I'm suddenly back into a semi-routine of exercise and doing things, which is good. It makes me feel so much more positive; I'm more positive about uni work, for example, when I've been getting out and doing things. Which is nice.

Okay, so long for now. Maybe not so long next time...
