Other stuff

I'd like to have a collection of gameshows. Download old cheesy ones like Blankety Blanks, or get them on DVD where possible. Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, all of that kind of thing. And then watch one episode a night at a predetermined time.
I'd like to have that kind of structure. I want a meal plan to rarely deviate from (while still leaving room for new things, for example, to know that Thursday night is fish night or Saturday night is Indian cooking night) and a bedtime that is actually enforced. I want scheduled study time in which I can do nothing but study. I want to have money to spend on myself, but not if I haven't kept the house clean and tidy and behaved well.
Basically, I want the life of a child - which is a very embarassing thing to admit.
It's hard being an adult sometimes. I wasn't really brought up right, there was no structure, no real rules, and very little parental input on most things. With all that was going on, I'm lucky to even be functional.

This blog will probably serve mostly as a place for me to make my lists and not lose them.
Adieu.
