...that I haven't updated in a few weeks but have been busy. Sorta non stop actually. By now you will have all have seen my xmas photos, coupled with my house photos and then closely followed by my pimps and ho's party pictures. I worked all over the festive season which I guess wasn't too terrible. In fact I am glad that I was working on New Year's eve as the boys were in bed before midnight. I had good fun on New Year's ok so I didn't drink but hey. Last year was most definitely better though there is no denying that one.
The work's night out was actually really awesome. It was a good excuse for us all to let loose. I think we deserved it. We worked bloodyy hard over the festive season serving everyone else there drinks and getting none for ourselves so if people don't like the fact that we closed for one evening then they can piss off. They should try working in hospitality where you get abused all day, and whatever else and by the way for the record bar work ain't that easy.
It's currently 33 degrees and humid right now and my god it's hot. It's that kinda heat that makes you want to sit in a bucket of ice or go swimming but also the kinda that makes you just want to sleep. So hence leaving you with that dilema of I really want cold stuff but it involves movement why can't it just come to me. It kinda doesn't help that I had less than three hours sleep last night. So the will to move is just not there.
How random I came home today and Garth had mowed the lawn that's pretty cool. He missed some bits but hey it's an effort.
As a side note, am loving my new laptop. Normally I don't like laptops but this one is shiny and silver and actually runs games. Yes people I am back on WoW. On the oceanic servers now which obviously makes sense. Was bummed at first that I couldn't get my characters transferred, but Garth and I are getting like 300% xp cos of recruit a friend. Levelling is way too easy now. Not happy that they changed all the starting areas to make them easier for n00bs. Bloody half the mobs that used to be red are no yellow. Where's the bloody fun? Unfair much.
I want ice cream and iced coffee yes I mean at the same time, but that would involve walking to town and as much as it is only a ten minute walk am way too tired to bother.
I am thinking that I might do a run down of my 2009 at some point. If I can remember any of it lol.
Anyway, enough of the chatter.
Peace and Love

First Aussie Xmas
So my first Aussie xmas is over and it was actually really good. Aside from the fact that I seem to have misplaced my camera cord so no uploading for me, well not yet anyway.
Got some lovely presents, a gorgeous necklace from Garth. A cocktail shaker, some clothes, DVDs . It was good fun, well fed to say the least. It was a bit bizarre being that it was hot and xmas but it still had the Xmas stillness in the air.
Right now i am killing time before going back to work for the second part of the split.
Ok actually can't think what else to say at the moment. Too hot and too tired to write too much.

Non festive mood
...and I have just been hit like a tonne of bricks to the face with a nice healthy dose of homesickness. I miss my girls and our crazy nights out where we take too many photos and laugh at the world for being so silly or just laugh for the sake of laughing.
The girls here are great, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the same. They don't appreciate the silliness of too many photos and the concept of memories in digital form.
Hmm that is enough of that actually.
Peace and Love

Ginger Beer and Pizza
...Wow I just damn near jumped out of my skin just there. Decided I would put my mp3 Player on while I typed and while I sat here wide awake, that's all well and good. I forgot that I had turned it up to the maximum volume and as i turned it on I was greet by Combichrist screaming in my ear. Bloody hell, actual proper fright. There is some disadvantages to being forgetful sometimes.
So anyway onto my point of this entry. I moved into my own place today. I had every intention of unpacking and storing everything neatly as best as I could, but ended up getting distracted as so often happens when you have a semi unpleasant task ahead of you. I think there is a part of me that would like to wait until I have managed to either clean the old wardrobe Beth was offering or until I find a nice cheap flat pack one. Also would like to get like a small filing cabinet. Even just one with three drawers. One drawer for my stuff, one for Garth's and one for D&D/Magic Stuff .
Wayne came up tonight just for a quick catch up and a nosey at the new place. Yeah there are one or two things that need fixed but I love it. It gets really hot in here though. No luxury air conditioning. Ah well this will be a good way to get me used to the summer heat seeing as today when I actually went outside it was cooler than it was indoors.
Bundaberg Ginger Beer is so awesome especially with Bundaberg rum. It's just about the right mix of alcohol content, sweetness and a lovely tangy after taste. Way too easy to drink, could get quite drunk on it if you wanted to. Yup goes down a treat.
I hate the fact that I am still awake. I don't know the pasts few nights haven't been great for sleep. Guess I am just feeling a little unsettled but that was bound to happen. Even though I am still in Maryborough I did just move house. It will settle down again once I get the things sorted that I want sorted.
I really want to get back into WoW, especially since this is a house of geeks. Will save up some money and start looking into building my own pc again. Need some serious gaming time. I was tlkaing about airsoft today too, that was weird made me want to go, even though I didn't go all that often when i did go I loved it especially when it rained. What can I say I never was into girly hobbies. Never will be I don't think. Unless you include shoe shopping in that one.
Man I love the Veronicas. They just make me so happy and most of their songs on the Untouched album I just relate to. I wonder when they are touring next. I reckon they would be awesome to see live. Thank John for cluing me into their awesomeness.
Had a real craving fora cheese pizza tonight so even though the fridge is all fully stocked I just had to order a pizza. It was one of those unyielding urges that would not have went away had I tried to ignore it. It was rather great actually. Sitting with my gorgeous guy while we talked games and other nonsense, eating pizza and drinking cool Ginger Beer in my own place how could it be better.
I realise that I am kinda rambling but I am awake and in the mood to type like a maniac. No real reason just felt the need. Ben is dragon obsessed. Beth helped me with my stuff today and the first thing she did was to eye up all the dragon ornaments and then claim that she was having them all. He does have some pretty amazing dragons though.
So other than being a bit disorganised at the moment this place is great and I think I am going to have a lot of fun here. Now what else is on my brain list? Oh yeah more writing of my many stories that are on the go. Then everything else. No wonder I don't sleep, my brain never shuts up telling me the stuff that I want/need to do.
Ah well life is good
Peace and Love

Moving...
...Yup I sure am.
This morning I woke up and the sun was shining...wait sorry it does that every morning...and I had this fantastic guy laying next to me smiling but I woke up in a bit of a funny mood. Now it wasn't a bad mood nor was it a good mood. It was more a "ugh I have so much to do" mood but even that doesn't describe the mood appropriately.
Regardless today started off weird, that may have been mild concussion that I was feeling actually...stupid Vodka bottle. Oh that's right I haven't told you the story of the Vodka bottle attacking me yet have I? Well it begins in a pub, as these things often do. The middle part of the tale is that I was working in said pub and while working in said pub I have to clean the bar, standard practise really. Near the end of the night, getting ready to close for the evening, I reach to get some coasters. Upon reaching these coasters I stand back up into an upright position or attempted to. On standing I manage somehow, please don't ask and it could only happen to me, smack my head off the electronic nip pourer. Whole section comes crashing down, nip pourer and bottle each hit me on the head. Vodka doesn't smell too nice when in the hair by the way just so you know this for future reference. I always knew that Vodka was evil. It hurts. So that was my tale of woe about how a Vodka bottle attacked me.
Now onto today. Funky mood, covered that. Hung about the house for a while chatting to both Garth and Glen waiting on Beth to finish work. Beth gets home at about 1.30ish and we all hop in the car and head down town. Bloody stinking hot too, must have been 35-36. Brisbane or rather Ipswich recorded 39 today. I was hotter than I have been because I decided to be semi sensible today. On Sunday I had a lot of sun exposure. Walked from here to town in the mid afternoon heat to get to the swimming pool. Stupid buses that don't run on a Sunday. Got to the pool layered on the suncream and dove into the water. I did however forget to reapply the suncream after 30 minutes, so ended up a little scarlet, not as bad as I have been but still too much sun exposure. Today I thought it a wise idea to put on a shirt, albeit a light one, to cover the shoulders, a pair of jeans to stop me scrathing the hell out of the 10 mossie bites on the one leg and my baseball cap to keep the sun from giving me a migraine which it has been doing the past few days. Great idea sensible and the like, until Garth and I walked to and from the real estates. Hot hot hot hot. Besides the point. We got to Station, walked from there to Wal Pavey to find out the progress of your application to get added to the lease at Ben's place. Got there, cooled down...air conditioning rules...got passed on to some pleasant woman and told to initial a few bits of paper and that should there be any noise complaints then we would be required to move out. All well and good. That was us sorted and told we could move in whenever we were ready. Stayed completely composed until we both got outside and just grabbed each other and laughed. Absolute highlight of the day. Put me on a total high. As a mini celebration we went to Woolworths and bought 2 1.25l bottles of Irn Bru each and yes it is the real stuff. It's not quite the glass bottle awesomeness but it's Irn Bru which I have not had since Sarah was over. After stocking up on Bru we walked to Station to wait on Beth and Glen. While we waited we met Liam who gave us our Xmas presents unwrapped and told us we couldn't break the seals until Xmas, evil especially since my gift was ferrero rochet.
We all headed back to the house and I started on getting packed to move into my new place. I stopped packing at about 8.30 and I still aint finished. The important stuff has been sorted. Am getting keys cut tomorrow afternoon which mean that I can move the rest of my stuff in and actually start hunting for a cheap chest of drawers for some extra storage, or should I say for somewhere for Garth to put his stuff...I have a surprisingly large amount of clothing. Not much of anything else but lots of clothes and still the eternal dilema of I have nothing to wear. Ben is such a lovely guy, although I think I talk too much...always was my problem, not going to change it now. My night is being topped off tonight with a cold bottle of Bru. How amazing is that actually? All the way out here in the land down under...where the beer does flow and the men chunder...and I am drinking real Scottish Irn Bru, no ingredients or anything removed or added. Just pure unadulterated Irn Bru, best served freezing cold.
I am actually so buzzed right now that I think the prospect of sleep is beyond reach. Ah well I shall stay online and catch up with people until I can no longer feel my fingers from tiredness.
Oh on a side note, I am surrounded by geeks and all of them are gamer geeks on some level. hell when the move is complete it will be Garth, Ben and myself sitting in the lounge playing either Wow on the PC's ...note to self must start builing own pc again...playing the wii, the N64, the PS2, the PS3, the Xbox 360, the PSP or the Nintendo DS. Take your pick. The loung looks more like spaghetti junction than a lounge room and I couldn't be happier. It is quite obviously a guys place though, won't take me long to make it Vicky-ised though. It sorta reminds me of the first Edinburgh flat in a weird way. It's dominantly a male home, one of the lights needs a new bulb, there is no ironing board...not that I know what one them is anyway...and I think one of the doors needs fixing but it's welcoming and friendly and it's only a fifteen minute slowwwwww walk from town. If you walk at a normal pace it is actually only about a five minute walk, but say fifteen to be really sure. Did I mention that the place is HUGE! the back yard alone could fit another house and there would still be ample space. Need to paint the banister or at least finish it.
Anyway, I think that is about that for just now. Just a little update about the most recent event in my Aussie adventure, now to start driving lessons so I can get my license and that will be me set and able to go wherever I please on days off.
Life is good.
Peace and Love

Upon reflection
Firstly let me just point out that I am so happy or at ease right now. I have my mp3 player blaring in my ears and I know that I don't have to get up early tomorrow. Don't start work until 6pm which is awesome. Let it also be known that I love my job, actually considered getting a gaming license as that would mean extra shifts, but apparently they cost like $200. The only thing i really need right now is for the real estate to contact me. yes I have itchy feet just now but I reckon that will sort itself when I get my own place. Things are working out, slowly but they are getting there. I think I will do all the necessary stuff in Maryborough like rent for a while, get some references, get some money behind me and learn to drive and once that is sorted then I can go wherever I want.
Anyway to my point of this entry, which normally would be saved for the other blog but i felt it was appropriate to this one.

28th DECEMBER 2007: Graham and I are planning on moving to
13th SEPTEMBER 2008: Truth be told I need to feel like I am the most important thing in Graham's life again. Kinda feeling like even though I know he loves kinda feel like he is just biding his time until we get to Australia. I think it's mostly just that I can't see him as much as I would like for two major reasons A) he can't get a lift and B) he now spends all his time in London cos he is working and moving there. The worst thing is I know he loves it there and have this gut wrenching feeling that he won't want to leave his new job and will get too comfortable with the two guys he is moving in with. I can say all I want that I will be fine going to Australia myself and I don't doubt that if it came down to it I would be eventually but I am totally paranoid just now"
Like I said in my most recent twitter entry, It's funny how you predict things in your life. The two paragraphs are copied from previous blog entries and actually they have left me feeling a little serene. The first one of the two, sure I am talking about how Graham and I planned this big move but note the last line "There really isn't a whole lot that will stop me now!"
I never said "there really isn't a whole lot that will stop us now!" I said me. I never implied us in that last line. Ironically we were still ok at this point, in fact we were still good at this point but yet while writing a random online blog entry I subconsciously knew that this was my adventure. Weird huh? Or is that just me. Reflecting on these sorta things is interesting to me. Makes me see things in an entirely new perspective. Even the "hell in my head I am already there" surely at that point I should have been saying that we were already there. Peculiar.
As for the second part, well yeah things were pretty shit by this point, in fact by this point I think we were both clutching at straws hoping that we didn't have to face the big bad world alone, god forbid we would have to leave our comfort zones. This second part proves a point as far as I am concerned, my gut feelings are never wrong. I should have listened to my gut and perhaps I could have saved myself some of the heartache. Truthfully thought I didn't want to admit it to myself, even though clearly all the signals were pointing to me coming to Australia on my own. It all panned out the way it was meant to, this was clearly the path that I was supposed to walk. And to this day I still do not regret anything about the relationship between Graham and me. In fact quite the opposite. I am thankful for it and he was meant to come into my life but it was obviously not destined to be a permanent thing. We had two very different roads to walk along and up to a point, the point where the road forked, we were walking hand in hand along the same road. I guess people fall in love and sometimes it works and the couple end up with the happily ever after ending and in other cases, the love could still be there but you are meant to take separate journeys. I will always be glad he came into my life and will be forever proud of myself for actually getting here, alone or not.
I have a new love and it is so different to what Graham and I shared, in some ways it is better. But in everyway, even with some similarities, it is different. It is new and it's the way love should feel. Maybe it won't last, maybe we will end up with the fairytale ending. Whatever is meant to happen, I intend on enjoying and making the most of it.
I babble too much for sure. But like I mentioned I was simply reflecting on things past and feeling really good about that and the future that lies before me.

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)

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.
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.

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.
