Summer Nights

So in the epic lead up to Christmas a lot of things are happening, or have happened.

Dinner at Caroline’s last night. It had kinda a couple of amazingly good moments during the night and ended with me giving out an impressive number of head massages. Melinda finally got what Will enjoys so much in getting a scalp massage.
It seems kind of creepy but it feels wonderful, and well its kind of a nice feeling to give them too.
That said, I need to go to a masseuse again, thanks to incredibly tight/sore neck and shoulders. Either that, or fine someone who is willing to return the favour of a good long back rub in exchange for an equally good one (or perhaps not quite as good, I’m not that picky).

Mr. James arrived and surprised T’Nealle. It made me swoon in delight at his arrival, and her surprise.
Today they had a picnic. Tonight they came for a BBQ.

Eamonn’s mum made our flat a hula hoop as a present. It got a good work out tonight.

Finally though, the BBQ ran out of gas, after 4 years since the gas bottle was filled. So we got a good run. But I won’t be refilling it before I leave. So probs no more BBQ times at the cabin.

We finished cooking the half BBQ food in the oven.

Ate outside till it got cold, and moved inside to discuss music blogs, benefits of Tumblr, Blogspot, Wordpress etc..
I also was asked to explain “googlehax”.

I gave no good answer outside of general geekery. Read more →

the clock never waits

I feel like I have no excuses right now.
Last night, I was made to realise I need to tell people more often that I really do love them. At the same time, telling people how I feel isn’t exactly something I am great at. So even though I think it, I bet I won’t act on it.

I think I might spend one of my days off next week going somewhere nice, and having a little bit of, well not alone time, but reflection time.

Things that keep me from total despair, and smiling when I feel a bit shit today are:

Dan’s business card, The thought of him as a project director- like the card says, makes me smile.

The box of unopened nice & natural Lunchbox Logs- which if I eat, will kill me. It was a present, however I’m allergic to the contents of the box.

They didn’t bury you deep enough

Well I’m glad its not just me who feels foolish for trying to help out.
So now I know there’s at least two of us in this boat, and we’re both floating in the sea of shit that you’ve set us adrift in.

We try to help out. You feign appreciation, but you do things which obviously sabotage the helping hands.
It in some way is a comfort to know I am not alone feeling like this… but it actually makes me feel like shit for trying.

Half Confidence

Another day closer to calling an end to all the boredom.

After work I sat on the verandah with Melinda and David and our new friend Boris (The neighbourhood cat).
After fiddling a bit with my camera taking pictures of Boris I started taking pictures of the flatmatesSDC17696.

I’ll really miss just hanging out and talking with them. I like that we sit in the lounge and discuss anything, even how to stop a girl liking you.
Melinda and I were terrible at giving this advice… the guys, gave advice on how not to be an ass, Melinda and I just got crass.

carbon copies

I went to court this morning, didn’t get picked today. I need to go back every day this week though.

I’ve been trying to eat food for two days now. Everything that touches my lips makes me want to be sick. I wonder what has caused this. I have tried food, knowing that I need to eat something. I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with alcohol drunk on the weekend, because now it’s Monday and I still feel like being sick when I try to eat anything.

liquid diet for me for a while I think.

Your looks will travel right through me

So its a beautiful day outside, super windy, but still nice, and I am sitting in my bed cause of too many late night’s out.
Got jury duty tomorrow. Kinda excited. Not really sure why. I know it might be quite horrible, a lot of people have been telling me about their experiences on juries and it seems quite scary.

I’m still avoiding reality when it comes to packing my stuff up… I don’t know how and when I think this will actually happen properly. Just not motivated. I think when I really pack my stuff properly I will have to admit I’m leaving.

I own too much stuff. I’d like someone else to come and sort out my life please.

Last night Sleepy Age played this hilariously awesome 4 song set at Goodbye Blue Monday.
Josh decided the night before that he wanted to dress in costume for the night, it started out with The Grinch, but ended up with Jesus. Which is just as well, because Jesus is a much easier costume to fashion than The Grinch.
