Hello Livejournal
S'up guys, how are you all? It was my birthday today - went down to Mission Bay with some friends and had a barbecue. Despite some ominous looking clouds, the rain held off and the only annoyances were the wind ("I do love a bit of grass with my cake", Kyle smirked), and some massive seagulls hovering around. Seriously, the seagulls downunder are huge. Sam got so frustrated he tried to take them out by chucking his rugby ball at them when they came near, shouting "Come at me bro!!!" HILARITY ALL ROUND.
I'm not really bothered by birthdays now, they're more of an excuse to have food with friends, but it was really cool and relaxed. I got a bit anxious because the work crew were really lively as usual but people from my hostel were a bit quiet, and I hate it when there's a feeling of clique-y-ness, but in the end I think everyone enjoyed it. The best thing was the amazing cake the work crew got me - black forest gateau, let me die, ugh, love you Laura, your food choices are brilliant!
24 years old. 24 with a degree, a CV full of customer service experience and a bank account that's not filling up as quickly as I'd like to, 24 and not planning to come home to start a proper job for a few more years, 24 and doing exactly what I want to do, right now. The only thing is, of course, not having family and friends from home with me, but otherwise this is pretty much the happiest I've been for a while. Now, if I can submit that application for that teaching assistant job in Beijing and get a reply saying yes, that would make my life perfect for ages.
It's almost Christmas! How is it almost the end of the year?!? It still feels weird walking out after work, observing that the evenings are getting darker later and saying, "Summer's coming," when it's December.
HOWEVER, Christmas always means extra love all round, so let's be sappy and say stuff that we never usually say about how we appreciate each other!
