thanks for your time

Last night I went and saw the basics and gotye at the prince and it was wonderful! I have been wanting to see the basics for ages, but just never really got round to it... and I really wanted to see gotye, like really, coz he is awesome... so I was very happy indeed. And yeah. All I can say is that if you ever get the chance to see gotye... do it! Just one guy and all that music... incredible!

going down...

I have lost 3kgs in the last 3 weeks, and I am pretty happy about it! I am actually looking forward to being weighed and measured next week... for once in my life! I guess all I really needed was some good motivation. And it seems that the whole bridesmaid thing is a good motivator. So yay for Bel and Tom getting hitched!

I heart the library

Today I was bored. So I decided to go to the library. Before today, I hadn't gone to the library in well over a year... but I am very glad I did indeed! Did you know that you can borrow an unlimited number of books for 4 weeks? And 15 cd's for 2 weeks? Coz you can!

I have recently decided that I want to read more. Fancy that! I spend way too much of my time watching movies and tv on dvd... I mean I do love nothern exposure, don't get me wrong... but one should really do other things with their time. And I think I need to stretch my imagination a little. I really haven't been letting it be all that it really is. I am sorry, imagination of mine! (Note to self: must finish reading all of the anne books... I kind of stopped half way through anne's house of dreams for some unknown reason...)

I have also decided that I want to learn how to knit properly. I mean, anyone can knit one purl one, but I want to be able to knit knit. Like make cardigans and socks and stuff. Well, I borrowed this super rad book... and now i'm all inspired.

I also really want to get into drawing again. So I borrowed a bunch of books to do with drawing. I even got this one little book that is all about drawing hands. I really suck at drawing hands...

And yeah. I am excited. And feeling rather inspired... so there you go!

fun times

Ha, I totally published that last one at 11:11!

And I think it was today at work that I looked at the screen when the total of all scanned items so far came to... $111.11!

Gosh, I have a real talent for finding fun numbers. If that is even possible...

walking home late at night

It is always a scary walk from The Villa to my house late at night. There is a particular stretch that is terribly dark... it really freaks me out. Anyhoo, I was just saying to Danielle how creepy it was and then I was all 'ooh, better not scare myself'... and then I left for the oh so long journey home. Yes, I freaked out along the usual part... but then it gets to a 'safe spot' which is nice and light. And then it gets to my driveway... By the driveway, I am relieved because I am home, but part of me still races up and into the house as quickly as I can. This time... was no different from any other, except for one little thing. As I raced up the driveway I walked through a massive spider web... so massive I didn't even know what it was. I was rubbing my arms and it felt really static and strange. I loudly entered the house to see all of these buggy things stuck to me. It was yuck. And there you go. Just when I thought I could relax, I got quite a fright! The end.

(Yep, another extremely crap story. It's what I do...)

I feel like there are spiders crawling all over me p.s.

happy sounds.

Heeharr... I bought cd's today. And last night I ordered another online. I am excited... though there were a few that I couldn't find that I wanted... probably not a bad thing though, coz I shouldn't be spending all my money on cd's! Sometimes it just can't be helped...

oops and again oops...

As of late, I have somehow gotten into the ridiculous habit of leaving things sitting on the roof of the car and then driving off. It usually always involves at least a bottle of water + something else... which has included board games and dvd's. My first offense was a board game. I was driving around the round-a-bout and this dude was pointing at me and I turned around thinking why the heck is he pointing, but as I accelerated up the hill I heard a thud... and there it was all over the road. I then had to go back and pick it all up. Thankfully the cards didn't scatter everywhere... was a tad embarassing though. But yeah I've done it at least 3 times in the last week or two... oh dear!!
