Saturday night was Jamie's 22nd. I dressed him up in all things orange. Plus gave him an orange. He's my favourite.

My damsel in distress is my favourite too, and she knows why.

I bought Simple Plan tickets.

Frontier Touring sent me three copies of the same email.

I am going to struggle at work for the next two weeks. I actually just left at 4:45 ignoring the remaining three hours of work I had left. I'm considering asking to go back to head office at the end of this week, even though right now I am only a 5 minute drive from home. Peace of mind has far greater value than an extra half-hour of sleep.

The ball is this Friday. I have a dress. I've booked my hair appointment (just getting it cut, and wearing it out). We have pre-drinks planned. We have also come up with a plan to avoid Sean all night. All I need to do now is charge my camera batteries and hide my phone.

I blew another light globe and caused the toaster to short out.

I owe so much to certain people. From me to you, thank you. Making me cry and laugh and spin so fast I can't keep up with the world. I wouldn't have it any other way.

There's also this, which I just found:
( *intimidates* )

So, I'll leave you with a smile on my face before I either nod off at my desk or go to bed.

I can officially say that my winter semester subject is one of the most pointless things in the history of the world. Much like wearing sunglasses at night. Completely and utterly ridiculous and a waste of holidays. I'm fairly sure that having lived nineteen and a half years, I know how to communicate formally in the workplace fairly effectively. The subject isn't even for credit. It's a requirement to go on placement, but other than that you don't pay for it and it doesn't help your average, it merely repeats things that have been drilled into our heads since approximately year 10, if not before then.

At least in two weeks I'll be so busy I won't have time to sneeze.

Things that have happened in the past couple of days:
- Mail.
- Strings for The Unknown and currently unnamed.
- HOWL first pressing.
- Jane Vinyl/Marly/Ciaran/Silly AUs/Boys Like Girls/Picspams
- ...more!

Let me know what's up with you all, I feel like, no, scrap that, I know I haven't heard from many of you in so long. I miss talking and knowing how your lives are going.

1. I brought a Ciaran home, can I keep her?

2. I'm laughing at ontd_twilight. Seriously, who gives a flying fuck.

Ciaran is proving she's here by taking photos. See?

ETA: 4 DAYS OLD AND OUR CRACK COMMUNITY IS ALREADY ON WANK_REPORT!

ontd_twilight, sore losers much? ♥ to ontd_twoncrack.

Today I finally applied for a character at Brawl after all my fluttering with other characters and fandoms. And then wasted time making icons for said character instead of making the invitation for Mum's 50th. Speaking of which, I'm working on it now and well and it's not looking too bad. I might get Mum to look at it now and choose a background.

Taken from prettyquotable, because why not?

Reply to this post, and I will list three things I love about you. Then repost to your own journal and do the same.

Today has been sort of busy. Or, just, well, full of random things.

Jacqui sent Mum an email and mentioned that I'm going to kill her. Why? Because she's seeing Avenue Q tonight. ahjdsjkashdjkasgdjkahsgdsa *green* When will it come to Australia? Or when will I be able to go overseas to see it? I'll just have to content myself with the soundtrack for the time being. :|

My aunt also called this evening. The aunt I have met, but have no memory of meeting because I was 18 months old. She spoke to Mum, and when Mum got off the phone her face was all "O_o" because my dad's sister refuses to be involved with any of the family... except that she knows a lot about us. Like the fact us kids are at university now, what suburb we live in and that Dad closed the company. My parents and I have a theory: She has hired spies to keep tabs on us.

Anyway, earlier today I went to the city with Tegs, one of my uni friends (After trains failing tremendously and getting into the city half and hour later than scheduled). We did a bit of shopping, and I tried to get the last two Christmas presents I need, but did the three bookstores have the book I want to get for my mum? Nope. Looks like I'll have to get it at work tomorrow on my break, provided it's there. Still, I bought a few tops and got the next Hana-Kimi volume.

Then, on the way home, the train I was going to catch was cancelled, so I had to wait around for the next one. Nothing big, but in the meantime it starts to pour and there is thunder and lightning. And I'm jumping around like a kid at Christmas, grinning while all the other passengers huddle under the centre of the platform to avoid the rain the wind is blowing under the roof!

The train home also epically failed, because of Caufield Station throwing a tantrum and causing problems, and flooding from the storm, as well as power failures. So, we kept stopping between stations. Southland, apparently, lost power for over an hour and everyone was kicked out. That and it was raining inside the building. Two trams were struck by lightning as well. And my Dad got stuck in the city because there were no trains running on the Sandringham Line, due to flooding, so he couldn't get back to his car. There is meant to be more of this weather tomorrow! And then 16 degrees Celcius on Saturday.

What is this 'summer'? I know of no such thing.

Only complaint about the rain: it damaged one of my Kate Forsyth books. I blow dried it earlier, and now it's being flattened under my sister's Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, my Sword of Shanara and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hardcovers. All books I am part way through reading, but stopped to reread the Kate Forsyth book. Hopefully there isn't too much lasting damage from the water.

I also broke my bag again. Not that I really repaired it in the first place. Staples are not suitable for permanent reatachment. I need to sew the strap properly, but knowing me, I'll use the stapler again. ^^;;

Working tomorrow night, all day Saturday and Monday afternoon (Not Sunday - family Christmas). Remember all this is right before Christmas. Insane customers, crazy stress. I'm loving my new manager though because she's awesome and essentially told me it wouldn't matter if I came in on New Years morning hungover, because the only customers in the store would be hungover too. Not to mention the rest of the staff. XD

There are a few movies coming out in the next few weeks that I want to see. 27 Dresses, Atonement, Enchanted, The Northern Lights Golden Compass, and P.S I Love You.

That's getting rather long, so I might cut it off here! :*

I have skittles, coke and multeasers. If you'd asked me half-an-hour ago I would have had McDonalds too. But, yeah, eating happy food. My exam did not go too well... I wasn't the only one though, so I'm desperately hoping for some extreme scaling. In the meantime, Jacqui and I are celebrating.

Tomorrow I have work, and watchmecorrode is coming over after. I also intend to do some iconning... because I've been told that it does wonders for happiness. ^^

I will get around to writing a review for Blink, but I'll probably combine it with the one for Utopia this weekend. TWO DAYS!!! Jack! I was listening to the radio while driving home and they keep playing TORCHWOOD adds. Monday. 9.40 Monday, after Supernatural. Everyone watch it, even if you have no idea what the hell is going on.

And Melbourne weather at the moment! All that fog! I woke up, thought is was nothing. At 12, it was still there (had lifted a little) and it was even worse when I got out of my exam, although it apparently it was fine at about 3.30. Never driven when it was foggy before. It was so dark by the time I got home. Really hard to see.

In the mean time, I'm going to watch Jacqui continue playing FF-VIII, and then watch FNL because seeing idiots make fools of themselves on TV is fun.

What has everyone else been up to?
