Long time, long time, love you long time.
Hello all!
Well, after - what? - eight months, I’m back with a post. I find the prospect of addressing the many things I’ve been up to in the last few months a bit daunting, so I’ve decided to do it in bullet point format.
Ten things I’ve done in the past year:
- Started going to evening Japanese lessons. I love it! Learning some Kanji and all.
- Went to see our friend Georg in Amsterdam. Ah, Amsterdam is a great city, and I’m not just talking about the pot :P
- Became a big fan of figure skating.
- Did an Open Water Diving course in the Canary Islands, up to 30 metres. Went to a maximum depth of 27 and had some great dives. Got a couple of videos and a bunch of pictures somewhere.
- Finally got the chance to see MUSE live in Wembley Arena last November, on the 23rd. Oh, how they rocked. Best. Night. EVER. Also saw Cradle of Filth and Tenacious D live in Brighton XD.
- Went to see a few other performances which I loved. My favourite was seeing the Sleeping Beauty Ballet performed by no other than the St Petersburg Russian ballet company. WOW. Also went to a ball room cabaret night and saw two professional dancers (Australian Latin champions) perform. They were amazing.
- Went karting, LOL!
- I had two serious career interviews and failed on both of them miserably… change subject.
- Went on a serious diet and finally shed that weight I’ve been meaning to shift for ages. All in all, I’ve lost almost ten kilos in the past 18 months, yay! I’m done now.
BEFORE (August 2005)
MIDDLE (AUGUST 2006)
ALMOST END (November 2006) Hehe, I wear a size 8 now (USA 6). Woot, woot.
- Learnt how to play Texas Poker and lost a couple of pounds (of money I mean) gambling XD
- Finally moved to our newly-refurbished house. My new room rocks. I’m much more focused and happy here.
- Failed not one, not two, not three… but FOUR driving tests - all for different reasons. I rock. I’m still paying Tax and insurance, though. And booking more tests *cough*
- Had more arguments with my mother than in the previous twenty two years of my life put together…
- Was close to a nervous breakdown when Tim completed the Bedlam Cube TWICE and I didn’t. Not after weeks of trying. I’ve yet to do it once *dies with shame*
Okay, that was more like fourteen things. I cheated, so what. And here are...
Ten things I would like to do in the New Year
- Carry on learning Japanese.
- Go somewhere really cool on holidays.
- Try skiing for the first time and go diving again. Maybe try an adventure sport, too.
- Exercise more and tone up.
- Pass that stupid driving test for once and for all (test this Thursday) and drive my lovely around cool places.
- BUY a house. Yeah…. Mmmh, a lot of things have to happen before I can do that, but I’m working on it. I have a master plan.
- Have an absolutely mad and great time when I go see Muse on the weekend of the 17th and 18th of June at Wembley STADIUM, with 75,000 other people. Bring it on. Yes, I do have tickets for both dates ^__^
- Improve my confidence in real life situations, come more into my own. Grow up.
- Write - and but that I mean start AND complete - one of the many stories that have been going through my head. There’s an original story in particular that I’d love to write.
- Make an effort to keep in touch with friends and family more. I really ought to not be so lazy about these things.
- See a figure skating competition live.
- See more live shows (music, theatre, etc).
Ah, that was more than ten as well >_< So much for Ten Things. Hahaha.
And there you go, a bit short but to the point. Feel free to post about a few things you’ve done recently and what other things you plan to do. That would be great to read :D
I hope you are all doing okay. Those people I wrote a personal e-mail to can expect me to keep in touch regularly for sure. I got e-mails from Aria, Aja and Liz. Thank you for getting back to me, you people are the best. I shall return the e-mails soon.
I’m going to do a clean up of my LJ friends, so if you find yourself removed, please don’t take it personally.
And that’s it for the moment.
To round off the post feel free to check out the Gallery Tim set up. It’s full of pictures and videos. This is the link:
http://midget.evilbyte.org/gallery/
The username and password are both "gallery". Easy, no? Check out the Muse pictures! We have to upload a ton of others but they’ll soon be coming, so stay tuned. I’ll probably post a few here in the journal, too, for those who can’t be bothered to sort out through the gallery.
And because I think Tim looks sexy in his goth-ish get-up,
And a
because that was just the best thing ever.
See you all soon!!
