Happy New Year

 

I just wanted to quickly wish everyone of my lovely LJ friends a happy New Year. Hope you all get to something exciting on the night. Me? I'm going to be seeing the Shout Out Louds and Neon Indian at the Power House for No Years. Not gonna lie I'm pretty excited and I'm even stepping out in a black dress I never wear. Anyway have fun and stay safe. Luff you all very much and I look forward to getting more of a glimpse of your lives in 2011.

And children cry for the one who has a real big heart and a father's grace.



Happy Hottest 100 day/Australia Day to all my Australian friends. Today's festivities consist of a party at the beach with the countdown blasting, vodka and hopefully a nudie run (not performed by me). What's everyone else doing?

So right now I am back in Kingscliff with mum and Jayden. There's no way I'm celebrating Australia Day in a city away from the beach. The creek that runs through my town currently has a small pod of dolphins swimming around in it because they have a baby which is too afraid to swim back out into the ocean because of the shallowness of the creek. I'm thinking of swimming near them tomorrow to get a better look.

Aside from that I dragged Lydia to the comic book shop that I adore because she was looking for a few graphic novels and it just so happened that they were having their Friday Night Magic tournament and all my friends from Magic were there. So I entered the draft and played against two people and didn't lose. One win and one draw. They have me a prize and I also am a registered player which means I have a ranking. This weekend there is a pre release for the new set of cards being released so I'll be going to that. Fuck my life I am so lame. LOL.

You took a white orchid and turned it blue.




Oh, yes another post this evening. I have been up to quite a bit lately so the need for more than one update is quite necessary. I don't know about anyone else but am I the only one with a tonne of friends who seem to have a birthday in October? Since I've been back in Brisbane I've already been to two birthday parties but have been invited to more and this week I'll be celebrating my mum's birthday as well as Eden's. The first birthday party was in honour of my lovely friend Mo and we went out in the city for a night of drinking etc. We started the night off at this lovely restaurant and cocktail bar called Garuva's and the jazz band that was playing there played a cover of High and Dry by Radiohead and when they finished playing I cheered so hard that they were like "yay there is a Radiohead fan in the crowd."

The second birthday party was for my lovely friend Kenny who I also work with at EB Games. We went to this amazing Japanese all you can eat BBQ buffet. I tried ox tongue, manta ray, beef liver and raw fish and I loved every minute of it. I've been ranting about it to everyone I see because I was in awe of how awesome that restaurant was.

So In terms of work I got to attend a work function recently for EB where we got to play around with the new Wii Fit Plus. There was free food and drinks which is always a plus. Also I've started a second job at the pharmacy where I recently completed my placement for my course. I'm looking forward to earning quite a bit of money over the holidays.

Lately I've been enjoying the company of my new geek friends from uni. They are the ones I've met through Friday Night Magic (I don't know if I've already spoken about this). Basically I just love playing Magic and dining with them. I love making friends with geeks. Basically my all-time favourite guys.

Just wanted to quickly wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope the day has brought everyone peace and joy. And that everyone put on a few kilos and got mega wasted.

I have to work tomorrow so I'll save my proper posts for tomorrow. Including a recount of Nevereverland which was definately one of the best nights of the year (apart from the night I met Felix).

I love every single one of you.
