Fortune cookies, doodles and hand holding

So the training thing got postponed until Monday. People dropped out which is a total bugger. I really want this to turn into a job. I need this to turn into a job.

So instead of the training today i spent like 6 hours in town, killing time before Nick arrived. I wandered around aimlessly just looking at stuff. I bought some stuff I needed to including Wayne's birthday present. I hope he likes it, it's just a silly thing.

I sat for an hour doodling on my notepad outside the library, then Nick appeared :-D. We went for a walk through the park and looked out over the water watching the sun set and talking about the time difference between here and Scotland and about stuff in general. It was lovely. I also met two of his best friends today.

Facebook fortune cookie is way too cute, I like it.

Anyway that is the entry for today.

White Rabbits

So apparently I should say that 3 times because it's the first of the month and apparently that is very lucky. Good thing I did it this morning then.

I am sitting here on this computer chair and I have my headphones in, listening to a random bunch of tunes and right now System is on. I have barely taken my headphones off all day. I'm in a music and dance mood. The one thing I seriously seriously miss about Scotland is the rock clubs. A 30 minute bus ride and I could have had my pick of Rufus T, Solid Rock, Cathouse, Classic Grand and others. I could have jumped a bus and danced my little ass off, but there is a serious lack of rock/metal/ebm/etc clubs around Maryborough and Gympie for that matter. Have to biggest urge to go out dancing. I just feel happier overall.

I think Australia is really working for me. Have been put forward for a six week training course, which will help me get my RSA and potentially leads to a job. I have a great new guy. Now to save some cash and get my own place and start my driving lessons. I don't have the job yet but just in general my outlook seems to have shifted. Definite change in the winds. Have also made the decision that I am going to start taking my reviews into the Chronicle. Even if they publish like one or two of them then that's my foot in the door.

Actually was standing at the bus stop the other day and I had my Mp3 player blaring in my ear and actually stood up and realised I was dancing in public, probably looking like a nutcase. But what is it they say, Dance like nobody is watching. I've been doing a lot of that recently.

Oh and my skin is all lovely and smooth. I have gotten into the habbit every morning straight after my shower, of using all the lotions and potions. Might as well, after all I am on the wrong side of the 20's now lol. Ha! So far 25 has been a good age, for the whole 6 days. If I feel this good at 25 imagine how I will feel when I get to my golden age of 26. The age that I am convinced is going to be my age. That is the age everything is going to be sorted. Just have always had this feeling. At the very least it will be almost complete.

And yes I do have a new man. His name is Nick and he is fantastic. Taking things slow just now but he actually just makes me so happy. I had forgotten for a long time how this felt. I have a spring in my step again and long may it remain. Heading to cinema tomorrow with him which will be good fun.

Wow it's after 2 in the morning and I am way too energised to sleep, have nothing I can even do right now. Maybe if I keep dancing in the chair I will wear myself out and be ready to sleep.

I bought new lounge about trousers today. Just plain black with two white stripes down the side. Only cost me 10 bucks so it was a bargain. I could always redo my nails or rather neaten them up as they are in a state.

So....

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one!

Oh the wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful chaps!
They're loaded with vim and with vigor;
They love to leap in your laps!
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one!

Tiggers are cuddly fellas.
Tiggers are awfully sweet.
Ev'ryone else is jealous.
That's why I repeat and repeat:

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one!


And with that I depart.
