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!

Protected: That’s the way we get by.

Damn they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

My laptop is falling apart. Literally. She’s been a great computer, I’ve put her through absolute hell. She’s swam in coke, swam in water, and has been thrown around more times than I care to mention. However… I think I’m going to have to get a new one sooner rather than later.

The screen is starting to get lines down it in random places.
The hinges are wobbly, meaning I’m far too scared to close her on the off chance I’d never be able to get her open again.
She’s missing keys, including the right arrow, which makes playing Tetris a total pain in the ass.
The USB ports are playing up. It’ll read my flash drive for 10 seconds, then stop again, then start again, then stop again and then start again. I can’t even use my graphics tablet.

Poor Adele. (A Dell, get it? And no, I didn’t name her; she was inherited from my mother when my previous laptop was stolen.)

Astair your glare is killing me.

How to amuse/annoy Nadine first thing on a Wednesday morning:

Find every single demo mobile/cell phone you can. The store Nadine works in has A LOT of demo phones. So it’s not exactly hard. Set the alarms at varying intervals from 8.43 am to 9.33 am. Make sure you set at least two alarms on each phone. Just to confuse Nadine even more. And be sure to hide a few of them in the bottom of boxes, so Nadine has to dig around for them before she can turn them off…

I could have killed the boys this morning! For the first 10 minutes I had no idea as to what was going on…. No wonder it takes me forever to get anything done. ;)

I was planning to write something on here every day this year… but I’ve already gone and stuffed that one up! A whole new year = a whole new 365 days of laziness. ;)

Adam and I spent Christmas in Mildura with our families, where we ate far too much food. We then headed to Adelaide to hang out with Jemma, Dylan and Jess for New Years, where we drank a lot and played far too much Guitar Hero.

I hope everyone really enjoyed the silly season as much as I did and didn’t get themselves into too much trouble. :) Thank you for all your Christmas/New Years txt messages. They made me smile!

My Own Worst Enemy.

Heaven help my wallet now a Smiggle has moved into the shopping precinct just up the road from me. :(

I’m now $20 poorer but have the most awesome diary for next year and some very cool new pens! I’m such a sucker when it comes to stationary. :)

Everytime I make a call, call waiting interrupts.

Further evidence I talk far too much… my last mobile phone bill was $220. I’m on a $50 capped plan that includes about $300 of value each month, so that’s like, $470 worth of me harassing other people. I usually manage to stick under the limit but I’ve been on my phone a lot more over the last couple of months…

For someone with next to no social life, that’s kind of impressive! However, it is kind of on the extremly expensive side, especially when I’ve spent all my money on food and Christmas pressies for people. :(

I’m such a goof sometimes!
