nadinerine.com there’s always someone cooler than you

So forgive me for what I have done.

I had pretty purple acrylic nails applied yesterday and I want them off already. Me being me, means I went to a cheap dodgy shop to get them applied and even though they look fantabulous, they hurt. And I can’t type properly. :(

I’m so not good at being girly!

When you don’t care then you’ve got nothing to lose.

Have I mentioned my flatemate is a drunkard?

“Something burning on the sidewalk. Fire engines, big and red, men in yellow. Me ‘can you help me get into my house?’ after much talking which i don’t actually remember, limber fireman clambers over fence opens front gate, start to climb stairs. Very drunk, probably stumbling up stairs. Very late also. Fireman and jess walking up stairs, fireman wants jess’ I.D to check that she actually does live here (after he has already clambered over the gate). Get to the door. Adam opens door. Firemen and jess in hallway, adam very confused, jess babbles something probably incoherant about a fire and losing my keys, adam looks less than impressed, apologised profusely, went to bed. Woke up with one shoe on.”

Her keys were in her wallet. She’d just forgotten she’d put them there. And Adam was totally freaked out by three firetrucks out the front… he thought the person ringing our intercom was a someone trying to get us to evacuate, not a drunk and incoherent Jess being escorted home by firemen. ;)

Holding on to love.

Oh yeah, I forgot I had a blog. Go me.

Whats news you say? I quit my job. I was planning on taking it easy, concentrating on uni, ya’know, picking up some part time work as needed like any normal university student does… Didn’t last long. I now have a new job. I still sell phones. Still full time. Different company though… it’s a nice change.

Today is my only afternoon off all week. I was totally going to make this thing a shiny new layout. But I just re-discovered Age of Empires II and unfortunately I’ll be otherwise occupied. :)

But the more I learn the more I can’t understand.

My uncle passed away on the 20th, which resulted in me rushing home on Tuesday to be with my family and attend his funeral. I feel so much for my Aunt and cousins right now. I haven’t cried so much in a long time. It’s always absolutely devastating when you’re forced to say goodbye to someone you love, especially when they pass away so much earlier than you ever believed they would, my uncle was only 49. Bloody cancer.

My three or so weeks of annual leave started on the Wednesday, which was also the day of the funeral. Great timing eh? :/

After a couple of days doing absolutely nothing (bliss I tell you, absolute bliss, I’m so not looking forward to going back to work)… we had to get everything together for Adam’s 21st! The party was on Saturday night, which was splendid fun. Good friends + copious amounts of drinking always manages to make for an interesting evening. You can check out a few photos from the evening on my flickr page, there’s even a horrible one of me in there somewhere!

Adam’s currently camping with the boys, and I’m heading down there for a night tomorrow. If all goes to plan we head back to Melbourne on Thursday for the 20/20 cricket on Friday night. We then head to Bendigo for an 18th, and then it’s on to the beach house Melanie (the best friend), Adam and I have rented in Angelsea for a week. I’m looking forward to more drinking and more doing nothing! :)

In short, the last week or so has been absolutely crazy. I’m looking forward everything slowing down and more of me doing nothing!
