Student Loans are not the first things I like to have to deal with when I wake up in the morning. You would think I would learn to not be a procrastinator when it comes to important things, but GUESS NOT. I've done the parts that I can for now.

Hello, new friends! I gained quite a few more than expected, so hello to all of you! If you feel so inclined to stalk me around the internet, I also have a twitter and Tumblr!

I haven't decided what I want to do today. I don't have to work (WHAT?!), but I don't know what to do. I used to be able to fill up monumental amounts of free time. Now I get a few days, and I sit here, wondering what in the world I used to do. Maybe I'll go to the zoo.

Wait, I know! I'm going to get a new computer chair later. Mine is about 9 million years old. Really, 9 million years. Minus the million. Computer chair shopping is fun. At least if you bring a lot of people, so you can attempt to play musical chairs right in the middle of the store.

I may or may not have done that before.

The last time I looked around for a new computer chair my sister and her boyfriend were with me. We ended up sitting there, discussing the complexities of the universe.

Actually, we each sat in every single chair there was in the store and waved at random people that walked by, giving us weird looks. We were very bored that day and I left without a new chair. I'm surprised mine is even still standing.

Hi new friend! :)

Comfy computer chairs are awesome! I got mine at IKEA a few years and it awesome to be sitting and not feeling like in a bus station. I'm completely terrified that the chairs at my new school are going to un-confortable (of all the things to be worried about lol)

Good luck with the shopping! But shopping at IKEA for chairs is fun..because you get to sit and try all the chairs. I love doing that even now when i don't need a chair but maybe I'm a little bit weird in my own way!

Haha, yes! My first time in IKEA I tried to go back the way I came to get out of the store and that didn't work so well.

Hello!

IKEA! Now there's an idea on where I can go a little later. I'd be worried about that too, especially with how much time I tend to spend in class. At my old college, the new chairs were awful. They were these rollers chairs, so you'd think they'd be awesome, but no. You try to go one way and you go the complete other way and ram right into whoever is sitting next to you.

That wasn't so bad if it was a cute guy, but it normally wasn't.

Better to be weird than just like everyone else. ;D

Hello, Im 1 of your new friends Emma. Im looking forward to getting to know you :)

I don't have a computer chair i have a wooden chair with a pillow under my butt lol. Would be sooo nice to have a computer chair, but only having a 1 bedroom flat we just don't have the room. Good luck finding a new comp chair though.

Hugs Emma x

Hello Emma!

Thanks! Mine feels a lot like a really hard wood chair now, even though it isn't. The cushion that was in it has pretty much been eroded away by my butt. I've had this chair that long, lol.

Haha, the side arm things keep falling off of mine. It drives me completely insane. And I'm afraid whenever I try to lean back, the back is just going to fall off and I'll be sprawled all over the floor.

Chair, $400 is way too much for a chair. I saw this one, it was the weirdest chair I've ever seen. It was a yoga chair (I know there's a proper name, but I don't know what that is.) and it looked so comfortable, especially because I normally sit cross-legged on my on chair.

Hello friend :)

A good computer chair is a must, I know most of our generation spend literally hours on end at their pc/laptop/mac and just from an ergonomic point of view you just need something stable to sit on whilst doing your thing.

That said, I sit on the floor. I have a perfectly good chair that I COULD sit on, but I choose to sit hunched over on the floor as I have aspirations for my torso to be at right angles to my legs when I hit 30.

Decided what you are going to do today then? I'm still on my summer hols, I DO have a bunch of reading to do by the beginning of term, but I'll get round to that tomorrow. Its almost quarter to ten in the eve here, so its far too late to begin!

Hello! :D

Yeah, that's why I plan on getting a really nice new one. I spend way too much time sitting in my chair, haha. Between gaming on my PC, gaming on my PS3, doing homework, randomly browsing the internet, I spent at least a few hours a day sitting here.

I wish I could sit on the floor. I do sometimes when I play my PS3 or watch TV, but my computer is on a high desk so I wouldn't be able to reach it.

Not yet! And the day is almost over. I played some video games, that's about it. Just waiting for my dad to get here to go computer chair shopping with me or my sister to come home with my new parakeet cage she got from work, whoever gets here first.

I will eventually have that issue when i can finally gain my goal of buying an iMac (but i would have to buy a desk too... hmm) so for now i deal with a sofa XD it's about a billion years old too that was handed down by Tobey's mom to us for our house. It's a lovely L sofa... quite bouncy.

But yes, completely a huge decision to choose a new computer chair. It's like Do i really need that to recline that far back or.... should i have it to where it doesn't because my crazy ass would lean too far and actually fall. Should it be more padded than this one?

You're right btw, more people to come, the better because musical chairs in a department store without real music is always a win. That's where you change the rule to where you hear a phrase, you get up and change seats...

*shifty eyes* yeah... i wouldnt know how to go about that or anything...

I love sofas! We got rid of our really old one not too long and I really miss having one. My macaw does too, since he claimed the back of it in his name and wouldn't let anyone even look at it.

Lol, I have actually leaned far enough back that the chair has fallen over. More than once. I sit in mine so much that I need to get a nice one, especially with a new semester of school starting.

Hahaha, you make your own music!

I do too. Adding you back. :D

Student loans/bursaries are the worst. I went through the most annoying process ever two years ago and was seriously dreading it last year, but ended up not being eligible. I have a sinking feeling I will be this year, though. Ugh. I'm reaaaaally bad at application processes and red tape crap in general.

(I know, it's bad wishing I wasn't eligible for bursaries... Le sigh.)

Good luck finding a chair! A swingy chair is a must. I do a lot of thinking while swinging around on mine, ha.

Date: 2011-08-16 04:17 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] duskyn.livejournal.com
Yeah, it's annoying. "Oh, bring us this form!" Two days later, "No, not that one! Bring the other one!" "Lol, jk we didn't actually need that one and need a completely different one." School starts in less than a week and I still don't have any of it sorted out.

Thanks! I did find a decent one that was much cheaper than I expected on paying. Yay for saving money!

I followed you on Twitter! I'm HelloKt.

Followed you back. :D

I know exactly how you feel. For the past year, I've been working full time, sometimes six days a week. Now I'm part-time, I get two days off during the week (theoretically, often I get called in). But when I don't get called in, I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.

I watch TV. I muck around on LJ. I used to spend my entire day online when I was studying. And I have no idea what I did to pass all that time!!?

Date: 2011-08-16 04:21 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] duskyn.livejournal.com
Yeah, without even meaning too I've been full-time this entire summer (and probably the semester, ugh) and had all these awesome plans for the summer that got eaten up by my hours at work.

I know! Or things I wanted to do when I was supposed to be doing something I just don't want to do now. Playing Zuma, for instance. You can't get me away from it when I have homework to do, but when I don't, pssh, what's Zuma?

Hi! I followed you on twitter and tumblr (faerydust & xoshirley) :)

I need to get a new computer chair as well. I'm using this regular old chair that's not very comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Although I suppose that's good so I don't spend too much time on the computer hahaha. That's funny about your chair shopping experience, I wonder what the people were thinking! :D

Date: 2011-08-16 04:35 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] duskyn.livejournal.com
Hello! I followed you on both.

It is nice having one that isn't super uncomfortable now. Hopefully this one will last as long as my old one, haha.

Date: 2011-08-16 05:59 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] bekkypk.livejournal.com
LOL, fun things to do! I only ever end up sitting on walls with people :D

Oh, and hi! :D
xx
