Conversation that took place with my newly gay brother about 1/2 hr ago....
me: When you go out tonight you should try vodka and apple juice, it's great!
brother: no, that would be gay
me: but you are gay
brother: oh, yeah i guess that could work then..
I love my brother!

Seriously?
Looking for jobs and came across this description...
'Dynamic yarn supplies'
Can yarn even be dynamic? Is there another side to yarn?

Yep- Alive!
Well here i am, sitting in an Internet Cafe called Peter Pan. So far i am loving it here, we have a great apartment which is only a ferry ride from basically anywhere. And its warm here!! No flannelette pjs for me! Still have no internet on, but hopefully it wont be too far away- until then i am somewhat old school- ie. shopping in person and writing snail mail...!
I figure until i get the net on i cant really look for a job, so until then i am on a long holiday...! Hmmmm, it's a hard life!
It feels really odd not to have net access at my fingertips. I am so reliant on it- is this sad? Even my Uni is online.
On another note- Insinkerators. We have one in out kitchen sink. I assume they are garbage disposals? Either way- i have never ever used one. I was turning on the light switches the other day and turns out it was the switch to work the insinkerator. I jumped a mile. It's very loud and somewhat intimidating. I dont think i will use it anymore.
One Skinny Girl- i will endevour to email you shortly- am really wanting some female input- Possum is trying hard, but doesnt get nearly as excited as he should be when i buy bargains (Yep- i bought a $99 pair of shoes for $10-BARGAIN!)He does try though.... :)
Well thats it for now, i really miss my regular visits to your pages/lives.
Hope everyone is well and intact!

PostSecret
Who else loves PostSecret?
It's funny, because i have often thought of sending in a secret, but mine just don't seem as good as the others. Maybe that is my secret? Or it was.... ;)
I bought one of the books a while back and often look at it- it's kind of like reading a juicy novel and looking at great art at the same time. It's time efficient!
If you haven't checked it out you must!

Tourture!
Is it because i am (as of tomorrow) unemployed that i want to buy things?? Here is my list:
1. Boots (I tink about 4 pairs should do it)
2. Work shoes (ones that will look pretty with tights)
3. A couple of adaptable pieces for work and play
4. Oh, and a doona cover. Love Peter Alexander!!!
With this in mind, look what i have stumbled across! Granted, the prices below are a bit more that i wanted to pay, BUT i also dont want to buy crap.
French Kitty coat ($120 BUT thats good for a coat, and this would be my more casual coat AND the hood detaches. It's versatile!)
and this cute one from Ben Sherman ($110- a bit pricey, but you do get a camilsole to wear under it, so really thats just $55 for each-bargain!)
oh, and how cute is this!! $200 from Peter Alexander

Point form works for me!
* Sh*t! have assignments due. Have not done said assignments.
* Still no place to live in Brisbane. Getting close though...! Possibly New Farm?
* Last day of work Friday! Hooray!
* Possum got me a GHD hair straightener for my birthday. I am a very happy girl. He also bought me some vanilla body butter- it smells so good! I smell like a bakery!
* There is waaaay to much chocolate in my house.
The end.

Excitement!
It's my birthday tomorrow!
Yes, i am one of those people who ALWAYS get excited over birthdays, wether they are mine or not. I plan months in advance on what i want to get people, and am often more excited than they are when the day comes.
Why? Don't know. Could be because i am a wee bit childish. Or, it could just be that i like shopping ;)
I have been telling possum many possible presents that he could buy me over the last couple of months, becuase lets face it- guys cant take a hint. In saying that, im still not sure that he has bought anything yet. He just keeps putting things off...
I will keep you updated....

Tuff stuff
I resigned from my job today which i have been at for 8 years- since i was 18. This is my first job. I have had others in conjunction with this job, but this has always been my 'proper' job.
I am a bit sad. I will miss sooo many people- workmates, clients, and even the people i order the office stationery from. We bonded over paper and staplers.
Oh well, i have ended an era that was basically a 3rd of my life.
Shit.

Anyone want to buy a car? Or a house?
Well it's official. Brett & I are moving to Brisbane, QLD. In a month, aka 30 days.
In that time we have to:
1. Sell our house. :( (we will be renters once again)
2. Sell both our cars (his jobs comes with one and we will be living right in the city so i shouldnt need one)
3. Resign from our jobs.
4. Move! Well, that shouldnt be too bad as the movers etc are supplied.
5. I have to find a new job. Although im not too concerned, because our rent will be paid for 6 weeks by the new employers so i get to take my time to find a job that i actually might like !
6. Since Uni is now by correspondence i dont have to do much there, except get some assignments out of the way.
On another note, i tried a different hair dresser this morning and i love them, but now i have to move away. I'm sure most of you gals out there feel my pain.
I also have had a migrain all day. This one was particulary fierce, as it felt like someone was playing tennis with a brick in my head. Nice.

Did you know...
that Plato was against the written word? He thought that pieces of text would take the place of genuine wisdom, and would promote stupidity & vanity. That true intelligence had to be thought, sought, & discussed.
Ironically, it is through text that I am aware of this.

Wrap me up!
Yes, i have been shopping. Just a wee bit though. It is getting a bit chilly in the land down under, so i thought it was time to invest in this coat by GRAB.
I invested at the right time too! They were having a leap year/day sale with 35% off everything. I ended up getting the coat for $115 delivered as opposed to $175..
You must visit this shopping paradise
