I’m quite organised in some ways. I would not describe myself as a clean freak or anything like that, but in some aspects of life I just need a good organisation system. Things like the folder I keep all my history notes in, or the way that I constantly write to-do lists and notes and reminders all around my room.

It strikes me as quite strange that I feel the need to write almost everything down. Every weekend, when I settle down to do school work, I write a list. On the occasions which I haven’t written a list, I’ve forgotten things and this has led to generally bad times. I have a lot to do tomorrow, and I am dreading that list.

It’s gone eleven now, I’ve been at work all day and last night I was at a gig at the O2, so I’m pretty knackered. I still need a bath, and I was hoping to start some work. Maybe that can wait until tomorrow, but regardless, I am waffling now and I need to go.

Have a lovely evening/week/weekend/morning/day. I love the thought that I can read this on any day, at any time. Oh the wonders of the internet.

I like lists, mostly.

When I think of lists, I think of short term lists and long term lists.

A short term list is your bog standard list of favourite things, likes/dislikes, reminders of things you have to do, shopping lists, weighing out pros and cons, etc. All of the above. I love writing lists like these. Not only do they help to remind you of things, but I am a bit creepy in that I find them fun.

I have mentioned long term lists recently, when I said about the ‘101 things to do before you die’ phenomenon. Long term lists are lists of things that you want to achieve over a very long period of time, for example, over 20 years, or until your death. This whole principle frustrates me; life is supposed to be as aimless as your personality can deal with. This might not make sense to you, but it does to me, and I don’t believe that it is healthy for anybodyto set themselves a list of targets for completion by a certain date, when this date is in the very far future.

I always have a list somewhere, the current one up on my notice board is about money I’ve saved for my holiday this Christmas. What can I say, I’m organised. But, ask me to plan what I’m doing for the next 10 Christmas’, and I’ll tell you where to shove it.

Ignore the poor quality of my writing, I wrote an English Lit essay earlier, that zapped any writing skills straight out of me.

Not finished!!
