Two thousand and fine

Well, its Christmas and I spent the evening drinking Coronas and watching Christmas movies. Now I’m on to cleaning up my room and updating. I’m a little sad because one of my newest friends has left me for Melbourne 😦 Mr. Norris is trying to convince me to get Facebook to keep in touch, which is starting to sound like a good idea because a lot of the people I’ve been hanging out with are travellers. But I don’t think I’m ready to sell out just yet.

I found this quiz that I did this time(ish) last year, which summed up the year that has passed. So I thought I would complete it again just to stick with tradition.

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
-Stay in a relationship longer than 3 months
-Kiss an Englishman
-Eat Yum Cha
-Go to Tafe

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Well, apparently my last years’ resolution was to kiss TWO black men, because I didn’t even kiss one before. I didn’t manage to achieve this, so I guess next year I’ll have to kiss three. Or organise an interracial gang bang.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Umm.. I don’t think so.

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Thank god no.

5. What countries did you visit?
Again, nowhere. I suck and am poor. Don’t judge. I hang out with foreigners, so I might as well be in another country which is good enough for me at the moment.

-My RSA
-A proper job
-An overseas experience

7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
One particular date? Hmm. Maybe Valentines Day, because that was the first time I wasn’t alone.

Finally getting my fucking P’s.

9. What was your biggest failure?
Compromising my own integrity and happiness in order to please someone else.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My pleather jacket. So many adventures and memories from one jacket.

Emily’s prom, Nick coming home from Peru, Ellen and the Girls returning from Overseas!

14. What song will always remind you of 2008?
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus

Compared to this time last year, are you:

15. Thinner or fatter?
Thinner than I was in a relationship. Starting to lose that all now just in time for summer.

34. Who was the best new person you met?
PIRI NORRIS.

35. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009
Try to eliminate negative or draining influences and aspects of your life. I know that it’s not entirely practical, but some things just drag you down with them.

46. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

Good times for a change
See, the luck I’ve had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time

Haven’t had a dream in a long time
See, the life I’ve had
Can make a good man bad

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

Hit the Heartbreaks

I often feel like the state of your room reflects the state of your life. Mine currently has empty pulse/udl cans, clothes everywhere and make up all over the place. I don’t really know what I want or where I am going. I was sure I was going to work full time next year, but now I’m thinking about going overseas. Not to run away… because I don’t really think I’m running away from anything. I feel like i’ve exhausted a lot of resources and am just not getting what I want or need anymore. I don’t know though, we’ll have to see how it all goes!

I’m reading a book Are you there Vodka? It’s me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler. It’s pretty awesome. I can’t be bothered to give you a synopsis, but trust me.. it’s definitely entertaining.

I’m meeting up with Nick to discuss things. I really don’t understand why he wants to. Mainly because I have nothing to say and yeah. We aren’t getting back together, thats for sure. The most confusing part of this is that he was the one who broke up with me, yet he is the one who initiated this meeting. This should be interesting.

So until I decide what I’m going to do with myself I am going to sit in my room, watch the Hills and drink shit loads of diet coke. Yep, that’s where you’ll find me!

Peace.

Single Life

And so it is. I’m no longer attached.
This has been a pretty emotionally exhausting week. Lots of bed and crying. But also a few really awesome moments.
I don’t really know what I want at the moment, I’m pretty confused.

So I’m just gonna roll with the punches and see where that gets me.

xx

More than a little crazy.

So there hasn’t been any particular interesting updates over this past week due to the lack of uninteresting activity going on in my life.

Quick summary:
– Working at Martellis more as it gets closer to Christmas. Ew.
-Working at the V8 Super Cars this Saturday. Have to watch Cold Chisel play. Yay 😦
-Looking for new jobs basically every day because… well, see above two points.
-Trying to plan the most awesome summer of all time!
-Trying to fade out awful hair colour at the moment
-Trying to sort things out with the boy
-Supposedly cleaning up my room right now

Thats pretty much it at the moment. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures!
