‘I might have to wait, I’ll never give up. I guess it’s half timing, and the other half’s luck.’

I haven't blogged for a quite a while. I have a feeling this is going to get a little long, so bear with me. Here goes...

So why haven't I been blogging? Real life kind of got in the way, as it does. I have been all over the place the past two weeks, getting organised for Christmas, as well as for my trip, working, along with going on a short break to Mt Martha with harpisan  and sorting out stuff for uni next year. I still cannot believe it's Christmas in 2 days, and I'm boarding a plane overseas in a little over a week! The closer it gets, the more excited I get, and the more I stress because I don't feel organised. Even though I mostly am.

To avoid some confusion, I’ll break this up into sections.

Work:
I have had a fair few shifts over the past few weeks, leaving me pretty tired. But last pay was awesome, and so will this one. I am not particularly looking forward to next year – so many people are leaving! *pouts* It will be pretty funny though, I just found out that my brother is being trained – during my shift. That’s one way of covering it. Feel a little bit sorry for him though, he’ll certainly be chucked in the deep end.

Hehe. I just remembered something funny that happened at work the other day (on Saturday, I think – all the days are blurring into one)
So, this guy comes in and asks me if we have ‘numbing cream’. The rest of the conversation is as follows.

Me: What do you need it for?
Guy: My friend (fairly sure he meant ‘I’ XD) wants to wax his chest and wants something to dull the pain.
Me: *tries not to laugh* Um well you’re not supposed to put anything on your skin before you wax
Guy: *looks disappointed* Oh. So he basically has to grow some balls and suck it up?
Me:  Pretty much.
Guy: *leaves*

At this point I get the giggles. Ahh boys are such wusses sometimes. Feel our pain...

Also rather amusing is K, a newly qualified pharmacist, berating J for ‘abandoning her’. And when I say berating, I mean sulking. And apparently hitting her on the head. (all jokingly of course) XD I never knew how much fun Sunday shifts were =P

 

Uni:
I now have letters from both of the universities that I auditioned for – with slightly surprising results. I was over the moon when I got the one from my first preference, MU – as I had passed. This year certainly paid off! But then, I got one from UoM and I didn’t pass. Funny, because normally the standard of audition is the same – and everyone else I’ve spoken to has passed both or neither. Not that I actually care – I still get a stupid grin on my face whenever I think about uni next year. (as an aside, I think I’ve organised everything for Mum, as she’ll have to enrol me while I’m overseas)

 

Mt Martha – AKA beach trip that turned into ‘let’s watch an epic number of movies’ trip

To make the most of my time off work harpisan and I headed down on Sunday night – with more stuff than I’m taking overseas with me for a month. In a nutshell, we bummed on the couch, made popcorn, cooked strange things, watched 14 movies (see photo below), and one short beach trip. Oh and let’s not forget swimming in the pool at 10pm and acting so drunk. Laughing to the point of crying and not being able to breathe at ‘innocent obscenities’ and our mindless connection. Such fun.

Some gems from the movies we watched (kudos to those who can place them)

·         What are you and who are you doing?

·         If you were thinking ‘Holy shit holy shit holy shit a swordfish nearly went through me head’ then yes

·         Why, do I not believe you

·         Sleep with me? Absolutely! (funny moment in a very serious and quite boring movie)

·         Why so melancholy?

·         My precious! Kronk just wants to keep it. We must not let him. *cue harpisan literally falling off the couch in fits of laughter*

·         That’s lemming talk, that is.

·         Leave it to you to use big words when you’re smashed.

 

Anddd that brings me to now. I think. Trying to get organised to go away, and just desperately wanting sleep. There is currently stuff all over my bed – and I’m still not in the Christmas spirit.  This is probably because I’m so tired, and I’m going back to my old church on the day to say goodbye to people. On one hand I want to, and on the other I just don’t. Ah well, on the day I will feel it – I always do.

 

That is far too much enough for me, I should get back to whatever I was doing.

PS. The song in my title is an awesome one, but it also reminds me of the long discussion harpisan and I had on the way to Rye the other night. Our d&ms always seem to be on transport of some kind. I’m so glad there’s someone who understands me so well. =)
