I love my christmas creature

Mmm... Christmas was good!
Went to the Central Coast on Friday afternoon. Got there about 4pm and unpacked my stuff.
I then felt stifled and drove to the beach. I laid on the beach for a while and talked on the phone to this guy.
On Friday night the rest of Mum's family arrived and we all chatted and mingled.
On Saturday I got up and went for w long walk. It was the first time in ages!!! I haven't exercised in months. It felt pretty good. I jumped in the pool when I got back and my cousins and I chased each other around the pool. We then went and played pool and then went to the playground and made ourselves sick when we spun around and around on this spinny thing.
On Saturday afternoon I went down to the beach and sat in the car drawing in my artbook. It was nice. But my car wouldn't start and I had to call my Dad who came down to have a look.
My battery was dead and I sat in the car while dad went to buy a new battery. My Uncle Rodney and cousin Adam waited with me and my little cousins were there too. A guy pulled up next to me in the car park to take his dogs for a walk and when he came back from the walk he locked his keys in the car accidentally so he had car trouble also. He called the NRMA and my Dad came back to change the battery. It was a bit bigger than my normal one so we didn't know if it would work or not. They put it in anyway and found out that it wasn't charged and we needed jumper leads.
We chatted to the guy in the car next to us who was incredibly intriguing. There was something about him that made me just sit and stare at his expression but I couldn't figure out what it was apart from his dark eyes. He must have been about twenty or so and his two little dogs were locked in the car with the keys.
We all waited for the NRMA guy and I continued to draw with a really bad pen and nothing to inspire!
The NRMA got there and unlocked the door for the other guy and then jump started our car which was cool. I drove around for another half an hour to charge up the battery and I drove to Copacabana which I think is a pretty cool name.
That night we watched The Notebook and a burnt copy of Casino Royale.
I cried in the Notebook even though the first time I ever watched it I didn't. I cried from frustration though... It was weird. No one saw me crying thank goodness.
They weren't happy tears or sad tears. They were just purely frustrated tears... which feels horrible!
On Sunday we went shopping ALL day. From about 10am till 5pm. But it was good. It was just 6 of us after Lauren and Danny left and we just wandered around being stupid and laughing. Adam was embarrassed by Bek and my loud vocal singing in the middle of the shopping centre. We drank coconut smoothies and macadamia latte's and Bek and I bought pool noodles and I kept accidentally hitting people cause they were so awkward to carry. I bought a new wallet. It's red. My colour. And I bought 2 cds for myself aswel. Both Dream Theater.
Sunday night we watched The Lake House which my mum hated. I just don't get her logic that "If it can't happen in real life then I hate it". The whole point of movies is to entertain! Not to be realistic!
So we had a big argument about why it was good and bad in which I think I was a little too vocal.
Monday was Christmas day of course and we all went to my Uncle's beach unit. My Nan and Pa were there and they are getting pretty frail and old now. They are so cute though.
We ate a really nice lunch and sat around chatting and laughing. It was nice.
After lunch we went swimming in the beach and I got dumped by a huge wave and lost my red sunnies. Oh well!
The water was freezing too!
I laid on the sand for a couple of hours and fell asleep and it was awesome! I loved every second. I felt so refreshed. It wasn't very sunny and hot so it was perfect for tanning cause you didn't need sunscreen and you just tanned without burning.
I want to go to the beach this weekend I think...
On Monday night we watched The Thomas Crown Affair which was so boring I walked out. I don't usually walk out on movies but lately I have been. If they are boring why watch them?
On Tuesday I got up and began to pack my car. I had pancaked for morning tea with Al, Tim, Bek and Cleb while we watched the cricket. Then Bek and I went shopping at midday and I wandered only for w short while before finally leaving the shops and heading home. I got a little lost on the way back but due to my brilliant instinct I found my way :P hahaha
I went up the mountains to see my school friends and although usually my heart would be pounding and I am scared - this time I wasn't! I think I finally have moved on from everything that happened that I did last year. Which is awesome!
I had a really great time that afternoon and I left at 7pm in a happy state instead of my usual drained state after seeing them again. Usually my guilt and stupidity from last year is so overwhelming when I see everyone again but I think I'm better now.
After I dropped Liam home I went over to Nik Adams house since he was down from Qld and I haven't seen him in about 8 months. He had some Qld people there too and we all played card games and a game called Articulate. The Qld people were interesting! Interesting people are so good!!!
One guy in particular was more so!
Hmm...

Well I got home at midnight and the remote to my carpark didn't work! So I had to park across the road. I then had to cart everything in my car upstairs since I didn't want anyone stealing my presents or anything out of my car! So I proceeded to lug it to my unit. The lift didn't work so I had to walk up and down the stairs at the back of the corridor. 6 flights up and down up and down. It was agony. But I couldn't exactly do much about it. I would have looked absolutely pathetic though stumbling along carrying all my junk up.
It was a bit frekay out in Burwood at midnight.
I ended up going to bed at about 1.30am and then had to rise at 5.45 so I could get ready and then wait so that I could get my car into the carpark. It ended up being fine. The trains weren't running properly though and it took me about an extra half an hour to get to work which was also annoying....

REALITY HAS HIT HARD.

At the Central Coast I was the person I love being. I am happy, relaxed, carefree, chatty, self satisfied, at peace, energetic, easily bored, fairly level headed, rational, fairly empty headed and content.
Maybe not people like me when I am like that but it doesn't bother me. I guess I get a bit unaffectionate and opinionated too but I like that! It makes me feel good for some reason!
I want to be that person more but I can't. As soon as I came back I slowly slipped back into the paranoid, slightly tedious, over-thinking, anxious, worried, slightly depressed, cynical human being that I am.
OH JOY! But I think some part of my brain still wants to stay that person I love being cause my writing here in this entry up until has been a very good indicator of what I am! I don't calculate. My writing above is very straight forward which is so not what I am in reality...
