Enough Portugal. Out Of My Face, You Boring Thing

I'm at breakin point now. So boring is this essay I have
elected to write about the language history of Portugal.
Nothing happened. Its that simple. 1134 Portugal broke
free from Spain and became Portugal. That's it. Nothing
old, nothing new, nothing borrowed, nothing anywhere near
interesting. Such as why did the French Speaker in the UN
have a woman translating his voice. That was odd.

Other than that, though, this most romantic of days was
unspectacular. I couldn't find Rip van Winkle, so I had to
leave unsatisfied on that front, which left me very
annoyed. But I did get some things I wanted fromt he
library. No cards, though. Or e-mails. Or any other kind
of communication. I feel like Barbara Ellen from the
Observer. Except I'm better than her because I don't need
a column in a weekly magazine to tell the world that I
don't like the world because some people's love lives are
better than mine. I don't hate the world because of that.
I just feel left out on days like today.

There's something strange about watching people set things
up for as perfect an evening as possible for them and
their girlfriend knowing that you will be working on a
(CRAP) essay while they do it. Maybe its not that bad. I
don't know.

I've got all weekend to do it. But a lot of live football
on the telly, so I can't do it then. And I've been reading
2 separate books of late, so that'll take up some time.
And I need to sort some stuff out for my mum coming down
next week. Ah, well, not to worry. It'll all work out. You
know what they say.
