I'm considering watching Survivor tonight only because I know Seumas will be watching it too. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame ( Read more... )

Since most people seem to have MSN or use a program that accesses MSN, I'm giving it a go. Not something I ever thought I'd be doing, but I suppose we never live up to the ideals of our youth. ;p My username is little.rachel@hotmail.com. Add me ( Read more... )

Friday afternoon was crazy! Cars breaking down and Irwan vanishing and people not showing up, but eventually we got the adventure on the road. Roll call of adventurers; Kerryn, Lynette, Andrew, Simon, Irwan, Pauline and me! We got to Jindabyne sometime between 1 and 1:30am, in bed at 2. Sleeeeeeeep ( Read more... )
