To continue with the Epic tale...

You realise that I have it all written down what I have been up to recently but truth is I am way too lazy to actually type it all up, but i suppose because I love you I will.

Monday 7th September: Have absolutely no clue what I did during the day, probably just went to the hospitality course then hung out afterwards. But that evening we all went to Jitta's where we had a bit of a Rocky Horror Picture Show night. We all lounged all over each other and watched the movie with full blown singing antics. After the movie we went downstairs so we could avoid keeping Jitta's little bro awake and we played uno. Then it started raining and I mean thunderstorm movie rain. I danced in it. It was freaking awesome got so soaked and I could not have been happier. Hugs and stuff in the rain :-D

Friday 11th September: My work experience at the RSL ended which sucked cos that then meant that I was back on the job hunt. Yay the joys. Had another movie night at Jitta's. Not much else to report from this date. Kinda uneventful.

Sunday 13th September: I made glue...ok well actually it was paste for paper mache, Jitta couldn't be bothered actually making it. While that was bubbling away we watched the lion king. Interesting feeling seeing as I hadn't watched it since Graham and I split. I was actually totally fine. Yeah it reminded me of him but that went without saying, but it really didn't bother me especially when I looked over at Garth and realised that actually I ended up better off. Anthony and Garth kept making digs about me being mother material though. Not going to happen people, I don't like nor want children but that doesn't mean that I can't handle them. I wanted to be a teacher after all.

Wednesday 16th September: The hospitality course finished up today. I baked blue cakes for it. They were yummy and everyone agreed. It felt good to be finished but at the same time it was a little sad. We drank lots of mocktails my god, sick much. Meant that the routine was being broken oh well. Didn't do much after the course, hung about until Trivia at the RSL. We rock at trivia even if we don't win.

Thursday 17th September: Only really eventful thing that happened today was the fact that Garth and I Dm'd at D&D. That was fun. At least I started to DM and then ended up that I couldn't be bothered so got Garth to do it and I just sat there looking pretty.

Friday 18th September: Garth and I became official lol stupid term. We started fooling around way before this but hey nevermind. It's a date to go by. I also learned to play magic today actually went to Scots Hall to play. Didn't take part in the tournament though but I did whoop Garth's butt three times in a row. Not bad for a beginner.

Saturday 19th September: Today I baked lots of cakes for Jitta's 18th Birthday party and then spent at least two hours getting ready for it. Had to dye my hair pillar box red and had to put on way too much make up for the part. I went as Columbia from Rocky Horror Picture show. Look awesome I think very sparkly. Had a great night with friends and Jitta's family, got dragged along to the Cri. Had a bit of a giggle then finally started to head home at like 5am. Wow the freaking sun was up. Must have got about 4 hours sleep if that before starting the next day.

Sunday 20th September: Woke up way too early god damn stupid sunshine and birds making too much damn noise and to think I wasn't even hungover. Not even close in fact because I was stone cold sober the night before. It was still a bit of a recovery day though. I was being all domesticated in the evening though making pasta for Garth and I. Shocking behaviour if you ask me :-p

Monday 21st September: Hung out in town for a bit before meeting up with Anthony and Jitta at the RSL for dinner, where Garth and I also got to meet Jitta's dad and grandpa. It was actually a really good night, pleasant company and a good feed. Played the pokies for a bit, Jitta played Keno and then we all headed home.

Tuesday 22nd September: I had a job interview, or informal chat thing, with the manager of the cricket club he had a couple of shifts for me. Was good. That was about the most interesting thing that happened that day. See now why do i even bother writing this thing clearly my life is not that thrilling and those of you who say it is need to open your eyes hehe.

Wednesday 23rd September: Pretty much standard wednesday routine apart from having a shift at the Cricket Club. Trivia again still haven't beat the Paddy's yet.

Thursday 24th September: Worked again, then went to D&D. After D&D we Garth and I headed to his where we watched, or rather pretended to watch Never Back Down. Got distracted then rewatched the bits that we missed.

Friday 25th September: Was meant to have an informal chat with the Manager of the Carrier's Arms but I had missed her she was off on holiday. Garth and I went to the cinema with Anthony and Jitta we went to see G Force which I thought was hilarious.

Saturday 26th September: Hung out in town literally all day. Started in the morning. I am sure I was doing something hence in town early. We got bored headed to the cinema we saw My Sister's Keeper. My god did I cry. It's worse than the Notebook for tears. Wow even had Garth tearing up hehe. Went to RSL with jit and ant again was good fun.

Sunday 27th September: Met up with Jitta's friends at hungry Jacks, seems to be the mad hang out place of the Mary Youth, wierd. Only cos most of the people i know are not old enough to drink lol no I jest they actually are all old enough to sit in a pub yay. We ended up in Hervey Bay at the cinema would you believe. Went to see Surrogates was a good movie a little anti climatic though. It was interesting though being that one of the girls we were hanging out with was Garth's ex. I felt my little jealousy hairs stand on end when he told me that, but it was all good. He couldn't keep away from me the whole day so that made me feel better.

Thurday 1st October: Garth and I met up with Mike then headed to the library, where I got myself a copy of Moby Dick. Still not finished that actually should really get it re dated so I can actually read it. Like I have the time to read these days. We all headed round to D&D which seems to be dying a horrible death. I feel sorry for Ken with that cos he went away and got a whole bunch of stock for us that we aren't buying. That sucks.

Friday 2nd October: I still hadn't been paid from the Cricket Club so I was rather skint. Was meant to be going out the Cri with jitta and all that but really could not afford it. Still went round to hers for dinner which was lovely and we had a bit of a laugh before they all headed out and that was that.

Saturday 3rd October: I handed out lots of resumes and walked around town in the stupid heat. And I swear if Ant says to me one more time "Hot enough for you yet" I may kill him come January when it gets fucking horribly hot and humid. I can already feel the heat rising and as much as the humidity hasn't even started yet i can feel the heat resting on my skin stealing my air already. Ick! On Saturday night Beth had a big family BBQ. George, William, Kath, Diane, Bruce, Auntie Fran were all there and Greg and Gaye were just leaving when Garth and I arrived. That was an interesting evening actually. Garth handled the cook's wonderfully. In fact I would be game to say that he handled them better than the other two would have. It was nice. Mad family tell you that for nothing.

Sunday 4th October: Convinced that Garth was getting his own back on me today. Took me to meet his mum and I was there with him and his Step mum too. Bloody twenty questions...actually didn't turn out that badly but I am pretty sure his mum is convinced that I am going to sort out her son and I am sure she is hearing wedding bells already....hmm bloody mothers. Then of course at one point in the mad conversations we were all having it turned to children and I then had to break it to both Christines that it wasn't part of my life plan and that if Garth wanted children he would be having them with someone else. They both just laughed which I suppose is better than the "you'll change your mind". It was actually a really good day, Garth's mum can bake, we had yummy cakes.

Monday 5th October: I got PAID!!!! Yay money and i delibrately did not budget it. I have been budgetting since I got here and thought bugger it. I bought Garth a new shirt, bought myself a whole new outfit, shoes included and I treated Ant, Jit, Garth and me to a nice meal at the RSL and cocktails. And why the hell not. It's about freaking time I spent some of MY money on ME and not on debts.....It felt so damn good.

Tuesday 6th October: Garth bought me the Trigun box set, well actually I bought it, but he had the cash on him that day. He also bought me a cute little silver ring with amethyst and cubic zirconias in it. I was wearing it then got the job at the Carrier's arms so it is now attached to my amethyst pendant that I wear every day.

So that was about that. For updated gossip....I got a job and have been working split shifts since last week. Barely even aware what day it is lol. I will be topping up virgin phone this week so will be able to text the uk for cheap...that's a hint people. Oh am also starting to look into xmas presents for people. Suggestions on a postcard. I didn't mean to drop off the face of the internet folks just actually got a life....i know shocking behaviour, how dare i. But yes, new man, new job and on days off I am barely in the house and will most likely be at the swimming, mostly to stay out the heat :-). Thinking of moving into my own place sort of.

Anyway, Guess you probably want to go and feed yourself now that I have bored you to tears. Or maybe you require a stiff vodka...who knows but alas I depart.

Tune in next time.

That's all Folks

So apparently I got a life

Woohoo look at this people, I actually decided to update this here little blog of mine. I apologise for not keeping it constantly updated, but as the title suggests, I clearly got a life and lots of a life from the looks of it. Apologies now as this will be a massive entry.

Lots of things have been going on so where the hell do I start....here's a tip go to facebook, go to photo albums and go along until you find the album titled Maryvegas and work your way from there. Maryvegas was such an awesome day. Everyone was so happy that day, apart from poor old Mike who wasn't feeling all that well. On that day out Nick and I were still together, approximately one week later I went along to the Youth group at the Scots Hall and there was a definite tension between the two of us, mostly fuelled by his ridiculous flirting with a certain someone else and his general ignorance of the fact that I was even there. Three days later he broke up with me. All good, he is with the person he wanted to be with and I am with someone better now anyway. Not going to deny that I was left feeling a bit hurt by the whole thing, especially seeing as the entire group of friends knew before I even knew, including the girl he is now with. That is the only bit about the whole thing that bugs me. In true me fashion, doesn't take me too long to move on. After all I am fantastic.
So actually this entry is starting from 25th August.

25th August: I woke up that morning knowing what I was going to be facing that afternoon, so damned if I was going to be all depressed and crap. Maintain a positive mental attitude. So when it came to the time to meet up with him, he had brought Garth along because he couldn't face doing it without backup, and instead of me saying Hi to him first, I looked at garth, pointed and told him that he didn't have a choice, me and him were going out that Friday to the Cri. I may as well have ran up and kicked Nick in the nuts for the damage that little stunt done to his self esteem. We walked to the park, talking. He spent the whole time apologising, which actually kinda annoyws me because he clearly didn't mean that he was sorry. He gave it the whole this is the hardest thing I've ever done rubbish, then don't do it duh! Lol like I said it's all good, I told him that I respected his choice and it was better done then instead of leading me on further down the line. He showed me though that it was possible to love someone again which was exactly what I needed. After we had finished having the talk, we met up with Garth again and at that point I just told Nick to walk away and leave me be. Garth was an absolute darling that evening. I was in no mood to go home, so we walked around town, ended up sitting on a bench in Ullulah park until some strange hour of the night, just talking random crap to be fair. It was a fantastic distraction.

So the rest of that week kinda went by in a bit of a blur,which leads me nicely onto my 1st night at the Cri.

28th August: 1st night at the Cri, spent the whole day shopping about for a new top. Found one on the break between shifts at the RSL (work experience through the hospitality course that got postponed). Just as I was finishing the last shift of the day, Zoe was in having dinner and I managed to rope her into coming along to the cri for my first night there. So a quick change on my part, a quick dash with Zoe and Garth so Zoe could get changed then we headed to the club to be there for Dollaries....Dollar drinks loves it. I can remember the start of the night and having a damn good laugh at Zoe trying Jagermeister for the first time and then I really cannot remember much else of the evening. Apparently I had like five girls hanging off me for most of it. Then in true me fashion, when depressed I should not have alcohol. Ended up sick as a dog. Garth earned his nickname Guardian that night. He made sure I kept enough money for the taxi and he took me back to his so I had someplace safe to sleep it off lol. Broke my glasses that night, god knows how but hey. I have new ones which cost me a small fortune but hey it was time for a style update. Good night from what I can gather. Oh yeah I remember the price of the bloody jager....bloody well $7 a single shot...a WTF moment indeed. Hangover central the next day and the walk of shame to add to it...ick! Lost a pair of shoes too...but Anthony brought them back to me which was very good. No heartache for me.

Skipping on a little.

Wednesday 2nd September: Hung about in town after the course had finished for the day with Garth and Jitta, not much too exciting happened there. But the three of us headed to mine and watched the Notebook, god lord tears all round even Garth teared up a little...he denies it however. That was about as exicitng as that day got, and I have no idea why i felt it would be interesting in this blog. Build up of events I guess.

Thursday 3rd Sep: Another day of hanging about in town, then D&D as is standard Thursday routine these days and I love it. Imagine if you will me being surrounded by geeks all getting too excited about fictional characters and then make me the only female, how much am I in my element. i do so love being a female who actually understands and enjoys the geek toys. After D&D, Garth and I walked back to mine at a slow pace, just chatting about this that and the next thing. Got back here and sat watching some movies. It was actually really lovely, I got myself all upset about various things, Nick being one of those things and I ended up just snuggling into Garth and eventually just fell asleep in his arms. Was exactly what I needed.

Friday 4th Sep: It was the night before full moon and I always go a little crazy during the full moon as some people will well remember. More walking, lots of walking and more movies, that Garth and I never really ended up watching. We were quite happily distracted.

Saturday 5th Sep: Quite a full on day actually. Got up nice and early to go to the cinema. We all went to see GI Joe, Rise of the Cobra. We being Jitta, Anthony, Mike, Garth, Alesha and Myself. Actually was a damn good movie, kinda couldn't keep my hands off Garth, it was refreshing to have someone hanging onto me that wasn't ashamed of me. Halfway through the movie though, what a bunch of tossers, Nick, Severs and Elliot(elliot and severs excluded from the tossers name) walked in with Trilby hats on and sat at the very front of the cinema with newspapers. Pointless effort seriously. They blatantly ignored us. Oh well no skin off our noses. After the cinema we all took a trek to the swimming and we were all having such a laugh playing Marco Polo and trying to drown each other and who should saunter in looking like idiots, yup you guessed it Nick and his posse and they attempted to ignore us once more. I flipped the lid, that is just plain ignorant. Then when they got pulled up for it, they tried to deny that they had even went to the cinema...Do I look like I was born yesterday? Nick got a mouthful off me for that. I told him that the one thing I would not put up with regardless of what was going through his head was bullshit. I hate liars. After that I told him not to be scared of going for Alesha, I am not the type of person to hold too much of a grudge...not often anyway. We must have all spent a good three hours or so in the pool it was awesome fun. After we were suitably wrinkly we decided it would be a really great idea to go to Hungry jacks and hang out there cos they have free refills of soft drinks lol. It's interesting the group seems to have sectioned off a little but hey whatever. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. After eating and hanging out it was time for Garth, Anthony and me to make a sharp exit as we had to walk to mine so we could all get ready for the Glowstick party at the Cri. Incidentally i looked amazing and although sober all night that night it was such an awesome night out. I danced my little ass off until I could no longer move my feet. It was a really fantastic saturday night overall. Guess this was also the night Garth and I became official, were all over each other and making it obvious that we were together, but the officialness really happened a little later.

Sun 6th Sep: Think I will stop after this date that way i only have about amonth left to update lol. So this was the day that Jitta messaged Garth and me telling us to come to the cinema with only about an hour and half notice ona sunday. Don't think I have ever walked down kent street so quickly before. Ouchy! and it was in the midday heat. Icky ick! It was approx 35 that day. Got the cinema and poor Anthony got his face bitten off him cos he tried to hug me. Eugh some people need to learn that when it is that hot don't come near me cos you generate body heat for crying out loud, even Garth declined the hug and he is born and raised in queensland. Seriously. Anyway we eventually cooled down, when we got into the actual movie, Up is what we went to see. Really funny little animated movie actually. It was just Jitta, Anthony, Mike, Garth and me this time round. It was a really good laugh and then the day turned a little sour. We all went for a walk to Ullulah park where Mike and Jitta split up. It was a long time coming but still.

Ok actually enough of the typing already. this is what happens when you forget to update. Enjoy.
