10:25pm: And it kicks me in the ass in the form of a nasty headache at the end of the day, which means I haven't written a single word on my fanfic. Sigh!!! Don't leave me, mojo, I love you!

But! I do have exciting news, first off my Viktor Nikiforov Nendroid arrived! OMG, he's so cute! And he looks perfect next to the Yuuri nendroid - please observe.!

Also! As promised a photo of Fluffshenko the Llama. Isn't he totally adorable? SO FLUFFY!

Although speaking of shenko's I was rather worried about Fishshenko this morning he's looking a little a drab...also he was hiding behind the heater in his tank. I thought he was dead actually! But nope. His fins don't look as full as they used to. I hope he's OK, I changed some his water, I've been slacking on that. Honestly me, get the program! I've just seen him swimming around so perhaps he's recovered! I think maybe I've under fed him a bit? Hard to know with fish isn't it?

Oh well, despite the headache I have been enjoying the Junior Grand Prix skating there's been dancing, pairs and now the ladies! There's been an Aussie in each (and in the men too, except I wasn't able to watch that live) although alas our Junior World Champion pairs skaters juuust missed the podium. Ah well, it's early in the season.

Anywho, beyond that not much else to say except it would appear to be ant season again, shiiit, I hate those buggers. Could think I've still got my ant poison from earlier in the year. But seriously get outta my house you nasty things.

Right gonna wrap this up here because the ladies are skating as I said and it's hard to type and watch at the same time!

Good luck to the Aussie there (who trains at the rink I go to!) and goodnight all1

10:46pm: Not sure if I mentioned this but I borrowed a DVD series from the library the other week called The 72 Cutest Animals and of course it's full of cuteness! They've just shown the Elephant Seal, the adults aren't that cute, but the little calfs sure are! Man, I love seals and how they have to wriggle along, LMAO, boing, boing, boing! And so on :OP Looove it.

Anyway moving along, it's been a busy day! First there was work at Mona Vale Library this morning, it started off rather quiet, but ended up being quite busy and then afterwards volunteering at Dee Why Library. I arrived rather later than usual for the latter because I forgot my phone this morning so had to go via the Granny Flat to get it and I also had to pick up my newly altered pinstripe pants! :O) They're looking good although I have tried them on yet.

Speaking of pants though, I did buy a black pair with wider legs at Warriewood yesterday, I got them from Suzanne Grae which is kind of an old lady clothes shop, but it has the benefit of short length pants, which means they actually fit me without needing to be taken up! Praise the Lord! They look very nice, except they do seem to be slightly tight? But I think they'll expand a bit, I hope so! But it's not like I could have got the next size up because then they'd be too big. Seriously, what's up with pants and me? Pisses me off.

Eeee! Break in proceedings to say the panda has just shown up on the DVD and eeee they're so CUTE!!! They look like soccerballs! It cracks me up.

What else to report? Well, my throat seems to be a bit dry today...weird, I hope I'm not getting a cold (knock on wood), maybe I should gargle or something?

Oh! And I almost forgot, dinner with the co-worker last night went really well! On Mrs S's advice I made cupcakes, but I think I mucked up the recipe a little because they didn't come out as nice as they usually do. In fact the first batch was kind of a write-off to be honest. Oh well, at least I got the frosting right this time around!

My co-worker baked chicken and added some Hoysien sauce (I think), which was Chinese inspired, but there was also mashed potato and sliced potato with a Peruvian sauce on it. Which I've tried before at Mrs S's place, it's quite nice! And the second batch of cupcakes turned out OK, so there was that as well. Her boyfriend who lives in the sharehouse too joined us, so that was interesting!

So yeah good time being social, go me.

Anyway, I better wrap this up and head off, I've got to go to bed and do my Russian!

But! I can inform you the panda got to be number 1 in the list, as it should be, LOL.

Sand now, goodnight!

10:38pm: The Secret Life of Pets that is! They were showing it on the cruise actually, but I kept missing the start or the end and on the day it was shown on the big screen on board it was Dad's birthday and thus I didn't get chance to watch it then.

And when I got back home all the copies at the Warringah Library were out so I figured I wouldn't get it for a while, but a copy came to Mona Vale Library so yay!

But yes, I wanted to see it mostly for the sausage dog, LOL I love those little dogs, they're so funny looking.

Although there sure turned out to be a lot of property damage in this film!

( And now...the end of the trip... )

So that's it! Suffice to say when they emailed me the link for the survey I gave them a glowing review! And perhaps someday when I have enough hours of work a week I can save up for another cruise! And this time I'll keep a journal of events as they unfold.

But! For now, I must be off, I've got a shift at the library tomorrow so I can't stay up super late! Plus I need to finish my cleaning I've made quite a dent in it but more needs to be done. So wish me luck with that!

For now...goodnight!

11:09pm: For an inspection of the flat, although it's not very clean right now, certainly not to Dad-standards! But Mum's most current email asks about it and I'm sure she'll be suspicious if I don't try and get Dad over here. In which case I really need to pull my finger out and clean this place up!

Somewhat related, but not really - the foot rest that came with the chair I bought from Vinnies to match the green one that was all ready here has this terrible tendency to molt...there's little fabric balls all over the damn place. Also the spring on the green chair continues to pop out of the U-shaped nail...which is probably another reason to get Dad over here, or perhaps the Landlord, either way the place needs to clean.

Moving on, my friend's gift to me arrived today! :OD These adorable socks! Look at them! So cute! Thanks isleofapples, you're awesome.

My little figure skate blades are still nowhere to be seen, I sure hope they show up because I'll be damned annoyed if they never come.

I also got the stuffing, fortunately the fabric shop in Mona Vale had smaller sized bags then the one I saw in the window, it's much softer then the stuffing I got from Lincraft too, my Pusheen is going to be very cuddly! Although I'm going to need to re-cut my fabric, because I've realised Pusheen is kind of egg-shaped whereas the pattern I used creates more a bullet shape. Or, I guess I could just unpick the whole thing and do some cutting. I'll have to figure that out tomorrow.

For now though let's have Meme!

Oh yeah and when I spoke to the panel beaters about which kind of fuel to put in the loan car I was told that the new side panel has been put on, and now the car just needs to be painted. So I can expected it to be ready to be picked up later this week. Yay!

And now, I must be off, if I'm going to finish my Russian learnings!

Goodnight all!

10:57pm: Yes! I got my smiley face hooks in the mail today as well as...

My Personalised Nutella Label! Yippee! Not the jar though, I bought that. I put the label on a piece of paper so I'll be able to reuse it, otherwise it'd be stuck on that one jar forever, which is no use. It looks pretty sharp huh?

As for the smiley face hooks, well they're three different sizes, which I didn't realise when I got them, but that's pretty cool, I've put the smallest one up and tomorrow I'll be able to hang my keys on it, niiiice.

Anyway, the big shift was on today, and I'm a little concerned that my feet ended up being so sore! Especially since I have the same length of shift this coming Saturday - and the Saturdays to follow until December - and I still haven't found an alternative to wearing my sandals which I did today. Unless the weather is cool and I can wear long pants. I'll have to keep looking I guess.

But Belrose Library is very interesting! I don't think I've ever been in there, although I've seen the outside, the area around it has changed a lot though, there used to be this shopping complex right next to it, but it's being torn down and a new one is been built in its place. The library itself is supposed to move too but not until 2017, so who knows if that'll actually happen.

It's getting late so I better head to bed, but before I go, I'm thrilled to see so many mentions of Back to the Future on the TV since Future Day is tomorrow - well for Aussie's at least ;O) - they're even going to have a story on the 7:30 Report and that's on the ABC - which is kind of the serious business channel, at least when it comes to news. I'm looking forward to it.

And I was going to say something else, but I've forgotten what it is...oh wait now I remember, this morning as I drove to work I saw parked on the side of the road another Chery! OMG, I can't wait to tell Dad about it, he's been searching in vain for someone else who has purchased one. This one is black and has two red stripes across the side, like racing stripes. I got a picture as proof to show him. The only time my father has seen another Chery he was disappointed to realise it was his own with Mum driving it LMAO.

OK, off I go! Goodnight all!

11:18pm: The news agency boss called me this morning just when I was starting to get a bit concerned and he's offered me my Monday shift back, yay! I start on the 4th Feb which isn't actually very far away now. Man, doesn't time fly.

Speaking of time flying it's the 23rd and that sadly means it's time for the Giant Rubber Duck to go, which is very sad, so after going to the gym I headed off to Darling Harbour to see him one last time.

( Me and the Big Guy! )

That involved a lot of walking so I'm feeling quite lazy and thus am not in my computer so this is a short entry. I don't really have anything else to report, though!

Although, I'm planning to do a bit of shopping tomorrow, I have to buy a new crucifix and chain since my other one definitely seems gone forever. :O( Now, I just have to decide if I can be bothered to go to Chatswood to meet Mum or just go and buy one on my own. I usually like to have input, since I suck so bad at decision making, but we'll see.

And in that note, I gotta get my butt to bed! So goodnight all!

10:51pm: So last night as I was perpearing to go to bed I decided that I better double check and see when the application date for the ABC jobs were closing, just to make sure I didn't miss it.

I'm sure you can see where this is going right?

Once again my attention to detail utterly failed me, somehow, God only knows how, I misread the date the ad was put up the 14/12 asthe application processing ending on 14/1! I don't even know how that shit is possible. I'm such an idiot! I was utterly horrified! I'm surprised I managed to get to sleep, but I decided that all I could do would be to call the ABC in the morning and mention that I had applied for the same position previously a few months ago and could they possibly consider me for this time around.

And that's what I did this morning, alas I was informed that due to the large number of applicants they were probably just going to hire internally...again! What's up with that?! Is there some rule that you have to put up a position publically even if your planning to fill it internally? If so, that's a fucked up rule that should be changed. Apart from anything else it give false hope! If I actually had no job at all (knock on wood forever) I'd be seriously devestated by that news and fill like I was wasting my time.

On the plus side, at least I don't have to feel like I ruined my own life in letting my dream job slip through my fingers, although I does make me worrry how am I supposed to get my dream job at all! I guessI'll have to keep my eyes open and definitely apply if it pops up again.

In other news...my tablet keyboard still hasn't arrived! What sort of postal service are these people using? They have good reviews so I'm sure they must be legit, but whatever postal service they use is bullshit. At least I hope I haven't been ripped off....the last thing I need right now is to lose money!

Oh! And I promised I'd have the Duck video up today aaaand here he is! I was going to put some music in the background but I couldn't find anythign to put. Although maybe the Jaws music at one point would have been appropriate! LOL. Now I'm wondeirng if it'll be leaving the same way or will just be deflated D: I hope it's not the latter because that would be rather creepy actually.

And finally before the Memes, I'm a bit worried about tomorrow, it's going to super hot, like 43 degrees even on the coast! I work in an airconditioned building but I'm slightly concerned that I might end up on a non-aircon bus. I may have to take that personal fan shaped like an ice cream cone that I brought just in case, although I'm not sure how well that will work.

Wish me luck!

( Bring on the catch up! )

Right! Better go and post some more of my story for today! Don't want to neglect that!

Wish me luck tomorrow!

Goodnight all!

11:09pm: Yes! They finally released the Hearthwarming/Christmas update for the Android version of the My Little Pony app and it's so cute! With snow and snow ponies and frozen over lakes. Very nice! Although the hack thing doesn't work anymore, or rather it doesn't with the new things available in the shop, but you can still use it purchase the old ponies which is a relief, otherwise I'll never get Rarity's father and the Flim Flam brothers. :OD

What else? Ah yes! Today was the Team lunch, it was Yum Cha, which was most yummy, although sadly no dim sums! Or fortune cookies for that matter. On the plus side on the way back to the car we got some ice cream, mmmmm chocolate.

And I'm very excited because tomorrow I'm seeing the Giant Rubber Duckie! :OD I really need to get someone to take my picture with it!I'm sure I'll be able to find someone nice enough, I hope! And I'm not sure if I'll get to church on time, but fingers crossed. If I don't Dad should be there, but my parents are moving into the house next door over the next few days so it's possible he might not be able to. Cross your fingers for me people!

And now to the Memes!

Friday Fill-Ins

And...here we go!

1. Let me write! Because if I don't....well life would sure suck!

2. It's weird to think I'll never really know what other people are going through since I can't see things through their eyes.

3. Listen here: The Giant Duck is coming! Get ready and have fun!

4. The Pony Pokey! That's what I'm talking about!

5. When I was younger, I thought I'd never grow up, which proved to be an incorrect assumption, whoops.

6. Let it be said, I love to laugh!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to just catching up on Plurk and playing the Pony app, tomorrow my plans include the Giant Duck and Church! and Sunday, I want to just hang out and enjoy some Skype time with friends, I hope!

I Do Believe the Worst Is Behind Us

1. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done in the past six months? Umm...I guess go down and visit my friend in Forbes, when I missed the train because I had to hire a car and drive on country roads for the first time, I found it pretty scary!

2. What recently could qualify as a happy accident? Oh...umm...I was just thinking about this the other day, but damned if I can remember the specific incident. Boo.

3. When did you last experience Buyer’s Remorse? Well when I got that replacement keyboard for my netbook only to discover the screen had a line down it I was pretty damn pissed, but it wasn't that much money wasted I guess.

4. In what way do people keep underestimating you? I got nothing.

5. What have you got in your pocket? My apartment keys.

And that's pretty much all I've got for today, which is good because I was very busy at work and didn't do any of my tags today! So bring it on!

Goodnight all!

10:45pm: Which is typical when it comes to the all important assessment time. Hmpf. Still I had a bit of a brainstorm while on the bus to the gym this evening, namely since these are reports they have a table of contents which I could use as a bit of an outline, which I did! Still I have to write the guts of it and there's also the third assessment for the subject I failed the first assessment on (so I can't afford to half ass it). The third assessment is forum posts, which I've neglected to do for the past six weeks, so I better remember to them too! O.o

In un-academic news I need to cut my nails...again, God damn they grow so fast, it's rather annoying.

Anyway, the house shows are on! And once again there's what only can be described as an abandoned house, whoever lived there before just up and left without even bothering to take their furniture! Weird.

Ow, I have a sore gum, like...just one part, what's that all about? I must have poked it with something or burnt the area. Hopefully, it'll clear up by tomorrow because it's just annoying.

And now I better haul ass back to the assignments, a friend's having a get together next Monday and if I want to go I'll want to have the assessment's finished! If I don't...

Oh and in closing...the latest winner of Britain's Got Talent is really something to see, hee!

Goodnight all!

11:14pm: Which, you know, isn't all that surprising! But just today I discovered this adorable website, featuring a kitty called Pusheen. Visit him, he's really ridiculous adorable!

In other news, I finally delievered those resumes to the pharmacies, I wonder if I'll get a call back, at one of them I had to fill out an application form which among other things asked 'Who the Prime Minister of Australia' is. Also a question about how much change someone would get, which I'm pleased to say I answered right! The last time I was asked such a question, it was a complete schamozzle and I never did answer...

I also made a purchase of some leggings and one of those travel kits with the small bottles for body wash, shampoo and conditioner which I can take to the gym for cleaning purposes after swimming.

Speaking of the gym, after upping my weights yesterday I woke up this morning with a sore spot on my right shoulder. Fortunately, that's the only uncomfortable spot, but still...weird. It seems to have settled down and should be gone tomorrow, which is good news because I'll be at the library tomorrow and carrying books!

Not much else to report I don't think...oh! The new Simpsons episode was on tonight I'm quite enjoying the new series. Although because of how the TV stations time stuff, I keep missing the start of Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation, most annoying! Even though I had to record that because I was watching the new Ab-Fab special (which I missed the start of as well!), but that won't be on next week, so yay!

Anyway, I better turn in because Mum's going to wake me up at 8am tomorrow I'm sure, plus I don't want to dilly-dally, things are to be done!

Goodnight all!
