11:27pm: I should be in bed! But I got distracted reading stuff on the internet (as usual :OP) and I don't have too much to report about today anyway. Although, I made my lasagna for dinner tonight and it's come out quite perfect, yummy indeed!

That further reminds me that I forgot to take the cupcakes to Mrs S house today, do'h! Better make sure to do that tomorrow otherwise they won't taste very good and what a waste that would be!

Anyway, I'll make this quick then, today was far busier than I thought it would be. No I didn't go skating, but I managed to miss the bus that would get me home after the volunteering at the library and doing some shopping.

It was super annoying because the bus was late, but just before it came I realised that my Fitness counter wasn't in my pants pocket! And the last time I saw it was at the Lifeline shop where I was looking for jeans. So I had to leave the bus stop and rush back there, where I discovered to my dismay it was nowhere to be seen! I even asked the people in the shop if they'd seen it, but no luck.

Eventually, I returned to the bus stop, the bus had been and gone by then and emptied out my bag where to my great relief I found the Fitness counter at the bottom, I had taken it out of my pants pocket when I was trying on the jeans and placed it on top of the bag and it must have fallen in there.

THEN I realised I'd left the book I was reading back at Lifeline, so back there I went and then back to the bus stop to wait...until I received a call from the Job Centre place I'd forgotten the appointment there! Fortunately, it's just down the road so off I went.

Originally, I was only supposed to be there to sign something, but it turned out my Employment Pathway plan needed to be updated so we had to go through that...After all the waiting at the bus stop I'd done I began to worry I was going to miss yet another bus! But it all ended up OK in the end.

And now it's only 15 minutes to midnight! I'll have to skip the memes again and hit they hay!

Goodnight all!

11:07pm: The job service people, there's this requirement that one goes to an appointment once a month, but there's not actually much reason for me to do so. Last time I was there I got a form for my pyschiatrist and/or to fill out, however, I haven't actually gone to either - although I'm seeing the former next Friday, so I wonder if I can call to ask for the meeting to be postponed until then. Or maybe I should actually use the facilities provided at the Job Service place and apply to more jobs, I think I should have applied to at least 12 by now, but I've only done half that. Man, I gotta get onto that...

In other news, it's October (inventory time ;O) which means, holy shit the year is passing fast and also that I can finally use mobile data on my mobile phone again, yay! Although I really should do more reading on the bus...it's certainly helped me get through the Kay Scarpetta series I've been reading lately, I'm all ready up to Book 7!

Also, the driving went well this morning, except I parked really badly at the mechanics and Mum had a bit of a time getting the car out of it, whoops.

However, the guy who was supposed to come by and measure for the shelving has been postponed yet again, although apparently on Friday the material is supposed to be coming and then the guy can come by. I guess he'll start putting the shelves together on the very day he comes.

So with a lack of anything else to report, let's do the last Friday5 meme!

Happy Birthday Bruce (Springsteen)

1. Hey, what else can we do now, except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair? (“Thunder Road,” 1975) Well, I've got no car and though it was windy this morning it no longer is now, so...tough luck there. :OP

2. Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse? (“The River,” 1980) Uh no...it's just a dream, most of which are pretty weird and make no sense at all...I suppose you mean the other kind of a dream, in which case...I dunno...worse because it didn't come true.

3. So tell me who I see when I look in your eyes: is that you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise? (“Brilliant Disguise,” 1987) Nope, it's me, unless I'm dressed up in my Pinkie Pie cosplay, LOL.

4. Do you think what I’m asking’s too much? (“Human Touch,” 1992) I dunno, depends on what you're asking for... :OP

5. Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart? (“Life Itself,” 2009) Because life's an ass?

Right...better wrap this up here, it's getting late again and I need to get enough zzzs.

Wish me luck tomorrow!

Goodnight all!

10:41pm: Well, this is the second one on Crime Stories in as many days! And I think they have the same plot (so to speak) of a spouse setting up the other spouse to be murdered on a beach. This would make one quite wary of going on a beachside stroll with your significant other if there's trouble in the marriage.

In other news, greenonme has convinced me to throw my hat in the RP ring again, I haven't RPed in forever due to lack of interest or at least a loss of playing partners, but since she's set up this RP community she's sure to be active there and hopefully I will too! :O) Although I hope I get in, I kind of did the app on the fly since it closes today/tomorrow, hope I haven't completely lost my mojo, LOL.

Today was spent lounging around, except for the part where I did my laundry, including my bedsheets and pillow case, so they're nice and clean now, yay! The wind was still gusty which had the benefit of helping everything to dry (it was also quite sunny), but the downside of almost blowing everything away even when I pegged it!

Also, it's bloody cold and the heater here doesn't seem to be doing anything again, so despite its nice fake wood fire affect I may have to buy something a lot less pretty lest my fingers freeze off! Unless, for some reason, the ironing board I've got set up is blocking it or something, but I don't think so...

I'm also sleepy, so I guess I'll wrap this up due to a lack of anything more to say. Tomorrow is also set to be another busy day what with the induction to volunteering at the Library and possibly hearing back from the Home Care people.

And now I bid you all goodnight!

11:07pm: Roy & HG must have been on later than usual tonight! Usually the repeat of their Olympic show would be on now but it only ended about ten minutes ago...Unless I really got into watching YouTube videos and I don't think so? This is most unfortunate because I something went wrong with the recording and I want to re-record it but I have to go to bed pretty much now because I'm working tomorrow.

Good news is, I seem to be feeling a lot better now as far as abdominal pain goes, it was still rather bad in around the middle of the day, but I ended up having to go out and I got some fresh air and a bit of a walk in, which really seems to have helped! :O) Fingers crossed for tomorrow then! Perhaps some work is just what I need, sitting around all day can't be good for me, I should at least be going to the gym or something.

Anywho, as mentioned I got a bit caught up in watching YouTube videos, I've been getting my ice skating groove on and discovered this really odd part of the Olympic program back in the day...Compulsary Figures, which basically involved every ice skater doing little patterns in the ice while nine judges stood right there on the ice and watched. Talk about bizarre! Apparently, doing these figures makes one a better skater, I don't doubt it actually, but man I can see why they got rid of that in the competitions, talk about boring! I mean they didn't even get to make up a pattern of their own thing they all had to follow the exact same pattern. Weird! Who'd pay to see that?

The old days...weird!

Anyway, due to me sitting on my ass basically all day I have nothing at all too report, so let's look at those Memes:

Follow Friday Four Fill-Ins

The statements:

1. Tomorrow is Saturday did you all have a busy week?

2. I really think I need a thing to do that isn't computer related during the days I'm not at work.

3. I would never own a motorcycle, talk about an accident waiting to happen!

4. The craziest gift I ever got was a nice personalised poem/story of my life from 2001 to 2004 that my friend Ben made for me. Awww.

Accessies

1. What was the last computer accessory you acquired? Um...gee...probably the Portable Hard drive, which we'd rather never speak of again.

2. What was the last clothing accessory you acquired? Um...gosh beats me. I think it was a hair elastic or something.

3. What was the last auto accessory you acquired? Don't have a car.

4. What was the last accessory you acquired for one of your hobbies? I did buy some of those make-your-own-card cards, niiice.

5. What was the last hair accessory you acquired? Oh well...I answered that in number 2...don't really make much hair accessory purchases.

And those are the only two up!

Hmmm, no luck finding out when the replay Roy & HG, do'h! I guess I'll have to try getting off the internet, you can find whatever you want on that :OP

And now I'm off to bed! Wish me luck with work tomorrow.

Goodnight all!

9:41pm: My Photobucket that is...for some reason linking stuff is not working properly, like the pictures are all viewable in thumbnail form, but when I try to zoom in or view them individually the page loads and the picture never shows up! WTF? This makes my Plurk Page less fun to look at, also I've just realised there's a whole lot of other journals I've got that use photobucket images. Geeze I wonder if they're all right!

Goes to check of_monmouth, hmm nope he's fine. Weird...and annoying!

And er...I should be doing my assignment, I meant to...but yeah, no. Ugh, I hate finding references and shit, the tutor guy is looking for 10 to 12! I am so bad at finding sources, or rather I find one or two, get the picture and then it's just looking for crap just for the sake of it and trying to squeeze it in. Bah! But time is getting short now - just five days until it's due...

Bah humbug!

Also I should turn in soon, so I guess tonight's gonna be a bust assignmentwise, and looking at my previous entries it seems I'm not that far behind on Memes, so fuck it, I'm gonna catch up on them:

Saturday 9

:Jingle Bell Rock:

1) Sam has affection for this song because, when she was very young, she tap-danced to it for a Christmas recital. Her parents told her she was wonderful. Do you have any memories from a school/church program or pageant -- either as a child onstage or an adult in the audience? Well, I certainly recalled how I slipped over while processing out of the church after my Confirmation. Apparently no-one noticed, thank God, but man did I feel like an idiot.

2) Ok, she admits it: After too many cups of holiday cheer, Sam did a few steps of her "Jingle Bell Rock" routine at last year's company Christmas party. Have you ever done anything at a coworker get together that you now regret? Does not going count? Because I'm quite sad I didn't get a chance to go to the Christmas Dinner, but eh, what can you do? In so far as drunken sheninigans or whatever, nope!

3) Since that unfortunate Christmas 2012 incident, Sam can't even look at a cup of egg nog. How about you? Do you like egg nog? I've never had it, I'm not sure if it's even a thing in Australia. I think maybe I saw some in Aldi, but yeah egg nog's not really my bag.

4) For special events, Sam slips on her favorite piece of jewelry: a charm bracelet that once belonged to her grandmother. Do you have a special treasure from a previous generation? Alas no. And I still can't find that black and white bracelet! This is such a bummer...I did find another nice looking one, but it's like $17 which I can't afford at this point.

5) The only Christmas card Sam has received so far in 2013 is from her insurance agent. How about you? Have any holiday cards arrived yet? Yes! I have cards from Steph, Sage and Spoo :OD And I'm just about to send the last two of mine off, luckily to people in Australia, so they should arrive in time.

6) Because of the chill in the air, Sam gave her dog his Christmas gift -- a sweater -- early this year. He's already gotten compliments on it. Are there any pets on your gift list? Nay.

7) Do you need snow to get "into the spirit?" Seeing as I live in Australia, nope. Although I must admit, it was pretty cool (pun not intended) having a white Christmas when the family visited England in 1993.

8) Are you going to get/have you gotten a flu shot this year? Nope, because I have to pay for it since I'm not in the danger group, and I've been so poor all year.

9) December is an important fundraising month for charities. Here's your chance to plug a worthy cause that means a lot to you. Hmmm...well Doctors Without Borders do a lot of important work, especially for those who need medical help the most, so yeah, if you've got the money donate to them!

The Saturday Six

1. How many pairs of scissors do you own? Er, let's see...two pairs for paper - one cooking type pair and two nail scissors.

2. How often do you get a haircut? Not too often at all, because I find it really expensive. Plus I usually get it straightened when I have a cut and that takes FOREVER.

3. Would you ever be brave enough to cut your own hair? Oh fuck no, I can't make a straight line with a ruler! It would be a total mess with my my hair let me tell you.

4. How many times have you had surgery? Once for a twisted duoeduem when I was about a year old.

5. Be honest: have you ever run with a pair of scissors in your hand? Er...maybe? But I've always made sure they were handle up.

6. Do you own a pair of poultry shears, and if so, have you ever used them to cut meat? No and no.

The Sunday Stealing

:The Blerp Meme:

from Lucy B.'s Surveys

When you get a headache do you take painkillers right away or try to wait it out? Try to wait it out, though now you mention it...I really should stop that, because it really doesn't work.

Is there a really funny YouTube video you’d like to recommend to me? Not that I can think of off the top of my head.

Did you watch Sesame Street when you were little? I did! And sometimes I watch it now! LOL.

What’s the last thing you touched, other than your computer?
 My Blu-Ray Player remote, my TV channels are acting weird, so I rescanned them and now I can't get Ch 7 or any of it's sub-channels! Weak!

When was the last time you talked to your best friend?
 Well! I have a big blast from the past when one of my best friend's called me on Skype! I haven't spoken to her in aaages! I thought she'd forgotten about us or something, but it turned out she'd just forgotten to email and then it'd had got kind of awkward. LOL, I know the feeling.

How often do you listen to music?
 Usually for an hour and a half at the gym when I go, otherwise I generally listen to TV programs when I'm at home.

What color is your cell phone? Black, blah, although I have it from my little bro that he's got me a protective case in green, whee!

What is the last non-alcoholic beverage you drank? Nice cool chilled water.

Do you like to wear sweatpants? Not particularly, I'm more of a jeans or PJ bottoms type. Although the latter might sort of count..

What song are you currently listening to? Who sings it? I'm listening to Say Yes to the Dress although I've all ready seen this ep...

Have you ever gotten a black eye? Fortunately no.

What caused it? See above.

How many times have you checked up on your ex? N/A.

If you had to get a tattoo what would it be? HAD to? Er I guess a small star on whatever part would hurt the least!

How many tabs are open right now? Ooo, not including on my tablet - 6!

Are you scared of needles? Well, sort of...in so far as I once fainted after having a blood test, man that was awful. But the last few times I've had a blood test I've been fine, so yay!

Do you believe love can last forever? Sure!

Are good-byes easy or hard for you? Hard, sniff, I hate been left behind.

Would you rather sing or dance? That's a toughie, I'm awful at both! I guess I'll say dance.

10:20pm: Because I usually mean to do so, but then I forget and by the time I remember there's like 400 emails in there. So I'm going through them now, deleting some and moving others into my multitude of folders as I'm a bit of hoarder when it comes to email.

In other news, I feel oddly sleepy even though I didn't wake up particularly early and its not particularly late. Ah well, Daylight Savings does weird stuff to a person. But I'm glad it's here! I went out this evening at about 6:20pm and the sun was still shining, ahhh.

I'm back here in the apartment, having brought over the rest of my summer clothing in a bag to hang up in the wardrobe. Which I've done, along with other cleaning up in the apartment, however, most sadly for me I accidentally stepped on my black headband with the flower on it that I bought some months ago. Aw shit, I really liked that headband! That's the reason I went out actually, I was hoping to find a replacement since I bought it at a pharmacy, but alas, of the pharmacies still open none of them had any headbands, boo. I guess I'll have to wait until I go to work on Tuesday and see if I can find something in the mall.

Not much else to report except I have Memes to catch up on!

( Stop!Meme Time! )

Right! Better wrap this up, I need to put a few things in the dishwasher and what not.

Goodnight all!

11:05pm: Yes, look at the time! O.o I didn't realise it was so late! But I'm getting very close to gathering all the pictures for my Pinkie Pie mood theme, although I'll have to actually make the mood theme icons once this all done. So I don't think I'll be finishing it up tonight.

In other news, I went to the gym this morning, good times, but as it turned out though my mother had lent me the car I had to rush back because she'd left some stuff in the car, which lead to me leaving my crucifix behind! O.o I managed to get it back, but alas I ended up being ten minutes late for work because of all the running around. Oh dear. Fortunately, I've been good lately so when I called the boss to let him know he didn't kick my ass, but still I better make sure I get to work on time tomorrow.

Although...I need to get my upper lip and eyebrows waxed, I was thinking of doing that tomorrow morning before work, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time. I suppose I can just go to one of the Beauticians at the Mall later on this week. Plus I need to figure out when to get my hair cut and blow dried, this weekend the extended maternal family is meeting up in Bowral so Mum wants me to look nice.

Annnnd, that's pretty much all I have to say for today, except for the fact that it's finally started raining again, after the driest winter on record. I swear, the climate is all over the place these days. Good thing I haven't put away any of my coats yet!

Now I shall be off to finish the mood theme piccie collecting.

Goodnight all!

10:21pm: Yessir, finally I gave my latest obsession wings and made me a Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™ journal: youfightlikeacow (many thanks to Vic crossover_chick for helping me on the name). I got him a few icons, although seeing as I'm on my tablet, I'll probably redo them once I get home and have Photoshop at hand.

Although, I'll say one thing for the tablet, it has a handy ™ button on the on screen keyboard! Just like that! No HTML symboling for me.

Moving on, I think I might be returning to normal digestion wise, I hope so! Although, I'm still not sure what to do re: work on Monday...to go home tomorrow or not too? That is the question. I guess we'll have to see.

But yeah I was feeling rather off when I went out to church this evening, I almost wanted to beg-off, but I doubt any replacement to do the PowerPoint for me could have been found. But yeah, after having a proper dinner stuff has looked up. Weird. Either that or the tablets have finally kicked in. Either way a relief.

( And now I shall catch up on the memes: )

Right, all caught up now! Le Tour is on so time to watch that.

Oh! And my little toe is better, yay, no bruising or breakage.

11:28pm: Well, sort of, I've only just finished watching the long play of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge on YouTube, which I started watching last night- ah that takes me back.

Although probably not to the 90s because the special edition, which is the one I watched had new graphics and voices, the latter is weird, because I swear the original version had voices, but it couldn't have. I know I used to act the lines to myself when playing, strangely enough a few of the voices I used sounded just like the ones in the game, LOL weird.

Anyway, I'm here at the grandparents' but the Canasta playing doesn't start until tomorrow which is why I was watching YouTube videos in the first place.

Also my aunt was here when I arrived, she didn't stay for dinner, but it was nice to see her, while we were all here Grandpa called Mum on the cruise ship before it set sail, apparently there's a camera on the ship which you can access on the net and see how it's going, which is pretty damn neat.

There's also unfortunate and surprising news from Wimbledon, Roger Federer is out! D: which sure does suck and it's the first time such a thing has happened in like 6 years. So now I'm left to go for the remaining Aussies, Andy Murray or maybe Jokevic (spelling?).

Oh well, at least the Tour de France will be exciting, especially since I've joined the Fantasy Team web page and will be up against my Uncle Sam and some people from work, although not really because they've put money in and I haven't. Still, sure to be interesting.

Speaking of money, great news! I've been given a raise! Or..at least a CPI increase in take home pay, I'm not sure if that actually counts as a raise, but what the Hell, I'll take it! Plus, my boss did say I was much appreciated by the staff. Yay! Now if only I could get a part-time role somewhere so I could remain there, not sure what my chances are of that, though.

And since it's getting late, I best head off now, I don't want to wake up late and miss prime-Canasta time! I'll do the Memes tomorrow.

For now I bid you all goodnight!

11:08pm: Weatherwise I mean, it was almost 20 degrees C cooler today then it was yesterday!

However, in a bizarre twist it's actually hotter in my apartment tonight then it was yesterday! I have no idea why that is, the only reason I can figure is that it's quite humid today as compared to yesterday and I think the apartment traps wet heat more than dry. Which really sucks because humidity always feels worse than dry heat. And it makes my hair really puffy!

In other news tomorrow is my birthday and I'm turning 29 gulp! I don't feel like a 29 year old at all! Case in point I baked myself birthday cupcakes and my favourite part? Getting to lick the bowl, LOL!

Not to mention the excitemeent I get out of playing the My Little Pony app, although I do wonder when the next update will be, or if it'll snow in Ponyville forever! Still, at least my ponies can be cool. :OP

Not much else to report really, oh! I had some more training today with the receptionist duties, I like to think I got everything writtten down and will be ready and able to do the tax related mail tomorrow and onwards.

And finally I found a kickass map of Medieval Britian which really help in my Geoffrey tale since I need some city names and whatnot. I've found a few maps before but they've all been too small to read not so this one!

But that will have to wait until later though because it's bedtime now.

Lastly...my sunburn is finally beginning to fade, it's hardly noticible now, except in the sleeve area. I better be careful in future though, because damnit that sucks!

And now I say goodnight!
