I know I haven’t updated in a while, so I apologise for that. I’ve been ultra busy, as well as sick, for the last few days, what with work, school and such, so I haven’t had a lot of time for my blog.
I’m trying to come up with a domain name for a photoblog I’d like to start – I’m really starting to get into photography a lot lately, so I’d like a photoblog to show it off a bit more to the general public. I have no idea on what I want included in the domain name, so if you want to throw some ideas my way, I’d really appreciate it. It doesn’t have to include the words ‘photo’, ‘photography’ or anything like that – I mean, it can if you like – but it’s not necessary.
Umm anyway not a whole lot else going on. I’m just keeping busy with other stuff right now. So, until next time, peace out.
Yesterday I came home from work sick as a dog. I had a snuffly nose, a stuffy head, sore dry throat, lungs that felt like I’d smoked a whole packet of cigarettes in one go, and a chesty cough. I came home, went to have a nap for a couple of hours and felt reasonable after that, so Manda came over for dinner and to dye my hair for me (since I had about 2-3 inches of regrowth and GREYS galore). I love the colour now – it’s a dark brown, looks black in most light, but I took a photo of it by the window (see the photo after the cut). (more…)
So if you’ve read my last entry, you’d know that I haven’t been too happy about my birthday.
Well, my birthday was on Thursday, and it was exactly what I was anticipating, for the most part. I had to work, which was the least of the disappointment. We had planned to go out for dinner, but then Michael’s school calls him and tells him that he has class – not next week, nooo, not Friday, but THAT NIGHT. So we had to cancel dinner plans, on my birthday and Valentine’s Day, which is absolute bullshit.
The only good thing about Thursday was that I got my first presents – a new iPod nano 3rd gen in pink, which is totally kick-ass, and a ring from my parents.
So I had to eat by myself at home, with the ‘kids’ (my cats), whilst Michael went to class. I did some school work too, which was shitty but needed to be done.
On Friday, I was feeling pretty terrible in the morning so I stayed home and got a heck of a lot of sleep, which my body was totally craving. I did a clean-up of the study, so it’s looking nice now, and we had my best friend over for dinner, which was nice to catch up and everything. She gave me a JB Hi-Fi voucher and some chocolates, so that cheered me up a bit.
Then Saturday, my sister dropped over with my present and I gave her hers (her birthday was the 15th). She got me a jigsaw puzzle of a witch, a candle and holder, and some soap and lotion. We went out with her and her boyfriend (who’s birthday was also the 15th) and their friends, but we left after about an hour and a half because, well, my sister didn’t make any attempt to a) introduce us to anyone there, and b) didn’t attempt to include us in any conversation. So I just said we were heading off because we were running out of money, and we went home. I started my jigsaw puzzle and we went to bed about 11:45.
So the last chance of reviving my birthday celebrations was fucked up, and I now have to wait till next year to have any fun for my own birthday.
The end.
So it’s one day till my birthday. Yup, tomorrow. And to say I’m unhappy about it is an understatement. I am miserable about it. I don’t get to be with my family, there’s no party, just going out for dinner, I have to work and I don’t get to see any of my friends. Let me just go on a totally self-indulgent rant here: This is the one day where I can say, “Hey all you fuckers, it’s my fucking birthday and it’s all about me, so let’s PART-AY!”.
But I can’t do that, even though I should be able to, being my fucking birthday. But instead, I get to sit at work, maybe eat some cake, then come home to a messy house that I’ll have to clean before I even think about inviting anyone over for the weekend (not that anyone would come).
I hate to sound like such a jerk, but every birthday before this I’ve had a big shindig, and this year, the year I turn old, I get nothing.
Oh well. There’s always next year.
In other news, Hendrix is fitting in well. Layla has stopped hissing at him so that’s good, she’s now tolerating him a little more. Also, my term deposit reached maturity yesterday, and was automatically renewed so I had to spend half an hour on the phone to St George asking them to close my term deposit account, so that should be happening today. And with the money, I’m going to buy a Dell Inspiron 1525 in Flamingo Pink, so that I have a lappy to do my school work on.
What’s that? I hear you saying, “But Terri, you don’t go to school!”
Well guess what, bitches – I’m going back. I need to complete Year 12, it will just look better on my resume. So I’m doing it part-time, a split full-time course. So 2 subjects this year, 3 next year, as well as work. And the laptop is going to be easier because it means I can sprawl out on the loungeroom floor with my books and stuff and have the room to put everything. I love my desk, and it is kind of big, but because I already have so much shit on it, it’ll be difficult to fit any sort of books or papers on. Oh, and for those of you who thought I did have a laptop already, you’re right, but it took a shit on me. I tried reinstalling Windows and from what I can gather from researching on the ‘net, it appears that it’s a bung hard-drive. So YAY. But I should be able to order the Dell later today.
Anyway, that’s enough from me, I’m sure you’re bored. Later!
