Time for change

Finally dyed my hair the copper colour that I have always wanted. This ain't the best pic but it shows off the colour. It is slightly lighter than I was hoping for but I shall maybe go darker next time.

Anyway thought it was about time I gave you all a little update. Aside from dying my hair, I have been running around at work making friends and generally just enjoying life. I kinda love the fact that I am the novelty item in the pub because of the accent and my weird Scottish ways. It is getting so bloody hot over here too, kinda miss the Scottish weather and seriously need to go to a gig but aside from that life is good.

Me and Garth have been going out just over two months now and I couldn't be happier. Garth is so understanding of everything, especially my reluctance to give him money. I will spend money on him sure, but he has been told that if he ever asks for more than about $50 as a loan that he will be told no, in no uncertain terms. Been there done that and am still paying for it.

I bought myself a new camera. It's pink would you believe. It was only $100 and is a 10.2 megapixel. Basically comes everywhere with me. Can't be missing prime photo ops, especially with the crazy bunch that I call my friends :-D Well that and the cuteness of Garth and me.

Don't know if I mentioned it in the last entry but I got my camera phone pinched on a night out. Useless to anyone but me. Would be more useful as a brick but oh well some people will steal anything.

The new job is going pretty damn well actually. I am getting on average 25 hours a week making just under $20 an hour, which earns me about $400 a week. Which is lovely actually, cos it gives me enough money to be able to rent my own place and get off centrelink yay *does the happy dance*

I am still walking pretty much everywhere, although it is starting to get too hot to be doing it too often. Surprising the heat actually, especially just now. It seems to have come along and hit everyone, even the Aussies across the face. We are getting summer temperatures way earlier than they are used to. Thank god for Air conditioning and fans. Although if you could send some rain from good old Scotland that would be much appreciated.

I have itchy feet again but I reckon I will be moved out of Beth's by Xmas. Ok so not quite the original plan but things took a little longer than I expected to pan out. Just sorting out paper work for the tenancy agreement and then will be free to move in. The place is huge too. The backyard is massive. You could build another house in it and still have ample sized gardens. It's a big queenslander too :-D Awesome much. Will keep you informed.

Can't really think of much else to write actually. Thinking I should probably go in for a shower and get something to eat.

On a side note am seriously into DnD and Magic now. Nice little black deck up and running. It kicks ass pretty much every time and the green/white deck that I stole off Garth...ha I rule with it. It never used to work for him and it works perfect for me, so it got yoinked.

Need some new tunes me thinks.

Anyhoo, peace and love (yes I have been watching Trigun, finally getting to see it in sequence)
