Happy Birthday to me!!!!!
On Friday I turned 21. 21! I remember when I was younger thinking about how far away the 'adult' years were.. Now I am an adult?

For my birthday my two beautiful best friends both made me scrapbook type books with old photos and favourite/funny memories. It was so much fun looking back on memories I had forgotten about and having a giggle about how young and naive we were.. When I look at how I grew up with them (Lucy and Bianca) compared to how others have grown up with their best friends I feel blessed because they are the sweetest girls and I love how we have grown and are growing with each other.

I got a fancy camera from my parents (mainly Dad.. thanks DAD!) and it takes great photos!! It is a digital slr,15.1 megapixels, my old digital camera was 6! So it's a lovely upgrade. I have taken almost 1000 photos since Friday afternoon. Hopefully I stay snap happy!

On Friday night I went out with some friends to celebrate my birthday and Lucy's birthday which was Monday the 3rd, then Sunday I had a tea party with some family and my favourite friends. Mum baked allllll week to prepare! It was wonderful :)

I will pop some photos up soon, the internet is being a bit temperamental and I am too impatient! Mum wanted me to update my blog, happy Mum??? I have comeacross a blog called Daydream Lily which is full of pretty pictures, maybe that will inspire me to keep this up to date.

It's Winter..

Hello Winter!
It's been drizzling all day long.
I need so save some money for some warm clothes.

My rainbow

Your rainbow is strongly shaded violet.

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You appreciate beauty and craftsmanship. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

It's too nice to be sitting inside.

I feel like I should update this and I have neglected it for almost a month.

On Saturday afternoon I went to Ballarat with a friend from Primary School, Alex Wren, to see a production of Les Mis put on by a local production company. It was at Her Majesty's Theatre which is such a beautiful place. Last time I was there I think I was 10/11 and performing on 'the pit' so wouldn't have been old enough to appreciate just how lovely it is. Pretty colours and really nice detail. The show itself was amazing aswell. If I had've known how long the first half was I think I would have eaten something more sustainable than a vegemite roll!

On Sunday evening I went into the city to see some comedians practising parts of their routine for the upcoming Comedy Festival to be held in April. A lady comedian, who I won't mention, was shocking! Long stories about her almost dying three times.. boring! Adam Hills was the host and he was quite funny, as was the 'other Adam', Adam Rozenbach. In the second half Dave Thornton and another younger boy, whose name I can't remember now, performed and they were hilarious!

I thought I might buy some tickets so see some people perform, and when searching for acts to see I came across this. It's an op-shop tour of Melbourne which I am very keen to go and do.

Another thing I am very keen on is this cute little bike which is currently on eBay

I dare you to buy it for me (hint hint MUM!)

Mum and Dad will happy.

I broke up with my boyfriend of two years last night.
Friday the 13th.
It's wonderful to spend (dumb) Valentine's day with Frankie magazine on my lap and Sex and the City on the TV behind me.

I'm fine. I'll be fine.
I wish my room was clean.

I am inlove

With Emiliana Torrini. She is beautiful and has an amazing little voice.

My heart goes out to those affected by the terrible fires. I hope to give blood on Friday and maybe donate a part of this weeks pay to the Red Cross to help those in desperate need. I can go without meaningless material items for a week in order to give a tiny bit of hope to someone.

WORK WORK WORK

I haven't updated in ages because I've been pretty busy working THREE jobs.
My feet .. so sore!

If I get a chance I will upload something during the week of what I have been up to, but for now, here is a picture of something Lee 'made' the other day:
Monkey is my nickname from him, and he knows I love tea.
I don't think it's meant to 'be' me though.. Hope not!!

Mum and Erin showed me this last night, it is hilarious!
If you knew my Dad and brother you would find it so funny as they don't ever dance!
My vision is slightly blurred due to tears from laughter.

My feet are sore ..

2008-12-12T22:40:00.000+11:00

I don't think my feet have ever been this sore.

I've just started another job, waitressing at a Chinese restaurant in my town. This is just for some extra cash on the side, I don't think I could leave Taco Bill just yet. I can't believe how casual they are at Majestic (the Chinese place). There are many differences that I could state but I will bite my tongue this time and be thankful for the good training Taco Bill has given me for future employment.

I feel like I've had a very busy week but thinking back, I didn't do a lot.

On Thursday, Lucy and I drove into Brunswick st for some Christmas shopping, but I left with more items for myself than I did for others (who can resist a "faulty" bin when you can fix the items yourself in a heartbeat?!) I'm very happy that I finally worked out a great present for my work KK this year, Tess. I have known Tess for quite a while now as our Mum's work/ed together at the hospital but we didn't really get close until late last year/early this year. I had her last year for KK and got her a fantastic red elephant tea pot and I think she's loved me ever since! (but not in a lesbian way, right .. haha).

This weekend will be fun, Lee's band has a gig at the Summer Festival which he is very excited for but I'm not sure how summery said festival will end up being, it has poured down allllll day. Another thing that I am (sadly) looking forward to is going to the pub with Lucy tomorrow night. I always have a great time with her, wherever we are, so maybe I'm not looking forward to where I'm going but whom I'm going with. That sounds better on my behalf anyway!

The photo at the start is one a teacher from TAFE found as .. well inspiration I suppose, when we were working on paper techniques. I'm going to pop my over-tired self into bed now, goodnight! And enjoy your weekend :)

My weekend

2008-12-08T16:06:00.000+11:00

Thursday night was such a bore! Lucy and I drove to the City to go to Next for our best friend, Bianca's, birthday. It was great to see Bianca, but I don't think I'll bother going there ever again.

On saturday, Abby's brother Justin kindly let us (Abby, Erin and I) stay at his house in Yarraville once we got home that night from Brunswick. I had such a good time with the girls, as I hadn't seen them in so long. I baked some cup cakes for Justin during the day, as a little thank-you. I only used paint to make a collage of my skills so sorry for the poor quality!

Today Mum and I went to Watergardens for some Christmas shopping. I'm starting to worry about presents for friends as Christmas creeps closer as I have 0 ideas for anyone! I have plenty of ideas for myself though ..

ps TO DEAR BIANCA, I feel bad for calling your birthday outing boring! It wasn't boring just .. wasn't where I love going.

Very first post

2008-12-05T23:46:00.000+11:00

I thought seeing as I went to the trouble of creating an account I may aswell post something.. If only I had something interesting to write!

My main reason for creating a blog with this site was so that I was able to make comments on my Mum's blog (as she has been nagging me to for weeks now!), but after looking at her blog and following links to other people's blogs I've become quite interested in what there is in the blogging world .. The word blog is the most stupid word!

That's a link to her blog so that maybe you can leave her a comment.

I promise that once the weekend is over, I will have something somewhat interesting to post!
