New House @ MindSay

Well, I am all moved into my first house, that  I own all on my own.

I have to say, when my ex left me about 5 years ago, I thought I would never be able to one day buy a house, but here I am. Nice neigbourhood to, quiet, few dogs next door, but they are cute, they protect the neigbourhood, the owner had to intoduce me to them...so they would stop barking, lol.

My legs are KILLING me, so much crap to move, lol, glad its all here now, just have a bit more unpacking to do, and I am all set to go!

Howdy doo...

A fair bit's been happening lately. Funnily enough, I feel like every day is so busy, but at the same time I'm not doing anything and I'm getting no where. Well, just to update you on the present, I'm in Canowindra, at home wif mah mum and sisters. I had to vote and I am still enrolled in canowindra so I came home for the weekened. Anyways. I'm actually living back in Orange... Again... With a friend of mine from school. We've known each other since year 7 and we kinda grew up together. Her boyfriend stays a couple of nights a week too, so it's a pretty mad set up. There are some mad parties at our house let me tell you that much. The boys downstairs come up and visit heaps too, we've been playing poker a fair bit lately. I'm actually getting pretty good. :)

I still need a job... *sigh*

I'm getting rather frustrated with that situation. Yeah I winge and bitch, I winge a lot about not having a job,  and people say to me "Do something about it" but don't you think I have? Trust me, I'm doing everything I can to get a job. I could be doing music, my passion, at Tafe, but I'm doing Hospitality Management so that I have qualifications to get a good job with good money. I've got a pretty good resume (admittedly it needs to be updated) and there must be twenty businesses around Orange that have a copy.

I could be in freakin' Uni.

But I'm trying to get a job instead.

I could be in Sydney singing and dancing...

But I'm in Orange trying to get a job.

Anyways...

I'm in Jekyll and Hyde the musical. Which I've already mentioned... But that's going good. Me and SC have started going to dance and singing workshops for Cats which is coming up at the end of the year, and that's pretty awesome. SC has been wanting to get back into dance again, we danced together a couple of years ago when we were still in school and she's really quite good.

So that's cool.

Hmm... Love life? Non-existent. End of Story.

Um... Tafe? Great. Been sick the last week and half so I havn't been to Tafe. Some horrible respiratory infection. Lots of green mucus coming out of my face and drowning me in my sleep. Yummy... *vomit*

No, Tafe is good. It's a great course and the teachers are awesome. They take care of me. :)

Er... I'm trying to think of other things to talk about...

Oh yeah, March 11 was the anniversary of my Dad's death.

The day itself was actually really good. Me and DH moved the loungeroom around that day and suprised SC, and then we all got wickedly drunk (the boys downstairs came up) and everyone DH and SC commented on how well the day had gone for me.

It took a slight turn for the worst later on after I got even drunker and I threw a bottle against the cement. Don't know why. Couldn't even remember it until they told me to sweep it up the next day. Which I did.

No... The hardest thing about the anniversary of Dad's passing was the anticipation.

The two weeks leading up to it I was a nervous wreck.

And the week after it I was heaps scattered, like my head was so tired from being so tense and stressed that it just let it go and flopped around like a dying fish.

But overall it wasn't that bad.

Living with SC is great. It always makes a difference when you actually know the person you live with. When we were in school she was one of the very few people who actually spoke to me and treated me nice. She was my best friend all through school and we've been through so much together. Our friendship is a very deep running one. She's actually the first girl I ever fell in love with. Also the last one I ever asked out before I went fully gay. Lol. And that opens a whole can of worms with all the other girls that were absolutely devastated when I went gay. *falls to the floor laughing so hard tears are pooling around him*

Anyway. That's enough of an update for me. You know the basics of whats been happening in my life.

I don't want to bitch about shit because I made a resolution that I wouldn't do too much of that, so You guys have heard all the reasonably good stuff. :)

Love yas.

Peace out guys.

The move went really well.  It only took about an hour to get everything out of storage and an hour to move it into the house.  I spent the rest of the day setting up furniture and trying to put everything in its own place.  Everything will be complete when I get my couch and chair delivered.  It is so strange to be on my own again.  I like having so much space but I almost wish I had another room.  I want a room to make into a studio for all my art stuff.  Right now I will have to make a corner in my den. 

well back to work- ughh..........

Operation Not Buying Crap is into week 2 and going along well. I have resisted buying any magazines, despite all the good monthly ones coming out within the past two weeks. I have resisted buying ANY new items of clothing which is definitely good, considering the stuff I have currently doesn’t fit into the space I have. I have spent a fair bit on house stuff, but that’s one-off generally and necessary evils. I do need to learn to look for the best deal around before buying things, but I’m getting there.

I’ve bought some funky stuff at the local $2 shop and will go back for some wicker backets next pay-day. They’re cheaper than IKEA and look good too.

In other news, I think I’m coming down with a cold. I have the aches, the sore throat, the chills and the sniffles. I’m dosing up on cold and flu meds, drinking heaps of water and tea with honey and trying to stay warm. I hate being sick. I feel totally useless at work today and would so rather be elsewhere (like, in bed) but we’ll see. It’s just a cold.

The new place is going well. A few teething problems (like the shower leaking) but we’re sorting those out. I made my first dinner in the kitchen last night – chicken, rice and vegies and it was a hit. At least, I’m yet to hear of anyone getting food poisoning! Anna and I are learning to compromise – she’s not exactly very healthy and I’m trying to be, so the meals we make have to be good. I’m all for dessert etc (although I may not have any) but the actual meal needs to be healthy-ish. I can’t wait for her toyboy to move back to Germany. Seriously, he’s driving me slightly batty. If I have to ask him one more time to wash his dishes and stop taking my laptop into the bedroom and leaving it there, I will go crazy. He doesn’t have a job and just sits around, complaining that the log in I set up for him and Anna doesn’t have administrator privileges so he can’t install stuff. Well, duh! Buddy, it’s my computer. You’re just lucky to be able to use it. Stop whinging already.

I’ll be having a housewarming something soon – so all you Melbourne people, get ready. It’s a small place though – we may have to work in shifts!
