Varsity is over for the year, my marks are back - though i wish they weren't as they suck, and I'm a broke bum vaguely looking for a summer job and a couple of flatties for next year.
When the When the rhythm starts to play Dance with me Make me sway Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close Sway with me Like a flower bending in the wind Bend with me Sway with ease Would you bet you have a way with me Stay with me Sway with me

Guess what?
I am still alive - if you could call this a life.
Okay, so I haven't written in AGES.
Ummm, in the time since I last wrote, hmmm. Ummmmmmmm. Where to start.
Okay. I got laid off from the job I had, as the city council cut the christmas budget, so the whole team got shown the door.
My shiny new comuter is all up and going, thanks to Simon. So now I can sit and watch DVDs. The first one I played on it was "the Iron Giant" which a pretty funky, especially when I put it into German with french subtitles and made up what I thought they should be saying.
My party went really well. I took my camera and lots of fill and then didn't take a single photo. My mother didn't get many of her camera either. Which is probably a blessing in disguise, as I'd had no money to get my hair cut the week before, and it's all big and long. Though the having no photos part kinda sucks, and it was like my one chance ever to get a photo of my ex. And it would have been a really good time to get photos of lots of my friends too. And a new one of me for my web page.
It was a great night. A whole load of ppl cancelled at the last minute, and then a clump more said they'd come and didn't, but there were still plenty of ppl there, and it was all nicely over catered. It was even only mildly brought down when my ball-n-chain went off clubbing with Nice Peter and left me behind.
All up. I have to turn 21 more often, coz I got SO many presents and a GREAT party.
I think I'll do it agian in February for all the people that missed this one.
Sunday I was SO tired, having not got anything much in the way of sleep. I did the whole clean up thing. Though most of it had been done already, I just vaccuumed. Then after tea at my Grandmothers, where they gave me a big shiny UPS to protect my puter from spikes and such like.
Today I went to town with Midget and Rachel to have coffee (well pheonix cola) with Susan, and in the process SERIOUSLY check out the gorgeous cafe wroker. And then me and the Miget did some shopping, deserted me to do her own thing, so after stuffing around a bit I bumped into Nice Peter and helped him spend lots of money on music.
And thats about me done for a while longer.
Today's song quote - Sway, as sung by Anita Kelsey.
Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you So baby talk to me Like lovers do Walk with me Like lovers do Talk to me Like lovers do Here comes the rain again Raining in my head like a tragedy Tearing me apart like a new emotion Oooooh I want to breathe in the open wind I want to kiss like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you So baby talk to me Like lovers do Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion (Here it comes again, here it comes again) I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you

Well this month I'm proving to be about as bad at keeping this thing as I was last month.
Admittedly, a major cause this month is I haven't done much except play Pokemon Gold, watch TV and net geek. Last week (4-8th) about all I actually got done, other than watching my DVDs, was to apply for THEA304. On the 9th Simon took me shopping for a birthday present, he almost bought me a microwave - except I'd really not feel comfortable about him spending that much on me, I feel guilty enough that he bought me two DVDs: GATTACA and Gremlins. Then Bob, a friend of ours Raj, and I had pizza and a pseudo-party-ish-thingeemy at Bob's place which made for a pretty good evening.
This week I've done a lil shopping, spent some time bugging my friends, filled in my registration for varsity next year. I've put down 62 points worth (Chem301, Engl311, Engl314, Engl315, Engl318, Engl319, Engl 368 and Thea304) I'll drop one 8 point paper at course approval though as Engl314 and Thea304 clash.
Yesterday on my actual birthday I had lunch with Susan and Bob. Susan gave me lego :o).
Today I'm being grumpy at Becky and Kez. Who stood me up last night saying they had to have drinks with next years president of the OUSA. But then went to the berach with one of their other friends and someone he is after. I'm most unamused. Lying to get out of spending time with me on my birthday, soI end up sitting at home, while they are off at the beach. *grumbles*.
And they said they would visit this morning before they left town for the summer, and they didn't.
Though I'm actually getting very used to this sort of thing from my friends.
I think I'll just give up on having friends and get a dog trained to do tricks.
But then Nina did send down the coolest birthday present. Today's song quote - The Eurythmics - Here comes the rain again.
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you honey? Now would I say something that wasn't true? I'm asking you sugar Would I lie to you?

Okay, so it's been a week, shoot me.
Last thursday night (the 14th) I went out for tea at Pizza Hut with my Aunt Judith, Uncle Frank and baby cousin Lucas. And they gave my the birthday gift of a pocket watch, so I am most happy. I've wanted a pocket watch for ages.
Friday I spent at home having a nice and quiet with lots of phone calls.
Saturday I left early in the morning to meet Tash for some shopping. After Brunch at Planet Pancake we headed up to the globe for a lesson in tolerance - how to sit through epically acting without walking out.
After that me and Tash returned to town for some more shopping, and I ended up in the tents behind the Town Hall awaiting Oliver to come out of the graduation ceremony. The rest of the day I spent with him and his family. Four of my friends all graduated so they were all at Oli's for photos and food.
Sunday through Tuesday morning I spent in constant company with the ball'n'chain. We went to Charlie's Angels on monday, which was great, and went to a friends birthday party and stuffed around lots.
Tuesday for the main part I spent at home having some dearly needed tie to myself.
Yesterday I weent shopping with Reece in the morning, had lunch with him and one of his friends and then headed home to babysit the beastly lil brother. In the evening I went to the neighbours 3rd wedding aniversary. Yay for BBQs.
Anyway, it's morning, and I've done nothing today. Today's song quote - The Eurythmics - Would I lie to you.
Christmas Time Mistletoe and wine

I hate christmas.
On the 21st I did very little. At least nothing that I remember so obviously nothing to hugely noteworthy. Though I possibly did something quite noteworthy and it's just slipped my mind entirely - though I know I was babysitting for most of the day, so probably not.
Friday (22nd) was me and the ball-n-chains 3 monthaversay, and I underestimated how big it deal it was going to be, so received some costly flowers yet had no gift to return. So I had a few moments of feeling decidedly crap, before heading off for a nice lunch together and some helping each other with christmas shopping. Making for a pretty great afternoon.
Unfortunately this afternoon was capped off by a hellish evening. Dinner with the parents of mother's pet idiot. The only saving point was a visiting Wormgirl.
Yesterday I did some last minute shopping, and that was about it.
Today I got up to find out that one of my friends had lost a baby last night, which was pretty sad, though quite surreal as I hadn't even know she was pregnant.
Then the day was spent playing Pokemon Gold. Breeding baby pokemon. And the babies are SO CUTE.
