Hullo lovelies.
I guess I'm becoming pretty extinct on eljay now. I just don't have the means to update, so I don't. But I'm at Fiona's (Scott's sister who we're housesitting for) place right now, so Scott has instructed me to post. I had to go through and read all you guys'es updates first though which took me..oh...an hour and a half. Anyway. Posting. Okay, here I go. Doing it right now. Ready? Watching?
I don't have much to say [/anticlimax]
Actually I spose I do. Just finished a long, hard week at work, but it feels good to have struggled through it and done what I needed to do. Feels slightly less good to not be getting paid for another 10 days, but such are the ways of the private sector, and of life in general I suppose.
I've made a new friend, Frank. I met him one night I was out and his friend came onto me. I was fairly abrupt in telling his friend I wasn't interested, and so was Frank. I appreciated that he did that for me, so we got talking and he's a pretty decent guy. Talks a hell of a lot, but I suppose that's a nice change from the quiet ones. Scott gets along with him too (to a degree) which is unusual and pleasant all at the same time.
So we went to that dancing sky thing last night. We met Frank at 8 and it started at nine, so we went upstairs to get food first, and by the time we got down to the river, it was absolutely PACKED. As in, sardine style. So we went up on the stairs of the fesitval theatre and even though we were only about 4 rows from the railing, it was incredibly hard to see. The guy in front of me had a head like one of those bobbing-head dolls you put in the back of the car. Very grr. Was okay for Frank cos he's over 6 foot, and Scott seemed to be able to see okay, but damnit, I hate being short.
Anyhow, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, so we left after about 20 minutes. I hate crowds, so I was ever-so-pleased to be escaping. Went back and hung around for awhile...waited for friends to arrive...got annoyed when friends made excuses *not* to arrive (though some of them were valid, no doubt) and just basically sat and talked. I've discovered I really like Vodka and orange, though that's quite dangerous since I couldn't taste any Vodka in them, and basically skulled them. Didn't get drunk though, couldn't afford it. They're $5.80 each which isn't my idea of a cheap drink.
The night before we went out as well. Nothing overly exciting to report that I can remember. Was just your average night out.
I spent yesterday (after Scott left) sorting out mp3's and watching the Degrassi High movie for the umpteenth time. For some reason that made me extremely depressed so I sat in front of the computer listening to sad songs and crying for about 4 hours before I got off my ass to shower. I'm so female sometimes, it hurts.
Nothing much eventful lined up for the next few weeks. I don't get paid til almost after Fringe is over, so there goes most of my plans. I really need to learn to budget.
Oh, also, my car is fucked. It idles too low and is stalling every change it gets. It was okay while it was only doing it at traffic lights, but then it started doing it when I was turning corners, so I deemed it unfit to drive. My uncle is going to look at it today, so I hope he can fix it, cos I hate trains and I can't afford taxis to get to work. GAH.
Well, now that I've sufficiently over-posted and bored you all to tears, I shall say adieu.
Adieu.
