I'm back, suckas!

Yep, so this blog has been on a pretty long hiatus. And by hiatus, I mean, I couldn't be bothered blogging. But now I'm back. In black. SUCKAS!

Blogger's gone crazy since I was last here. All their "we're now actually part of Google now, hope you don't mind!" business. Well, I do mind, thank you very much. I mean, I have nothing against Google. But I don't ever remember being asked if I wanted my blog to be part of the Google Empire. I mean, I have nothing against my blog being part of the Google Empire. But I just don't remember being ASKED.

So my blog tells me I haven't updated in like 3 months or something. And even then, I think it was an intensely emo Chris-update. So that doesn't really count.

In fact, last time I did a real update, I'd just got back from Perth, for the second time. That's ages ago! Tim's visited Sydney since then! And other important things as well. But that's probably the most important, I think we can all agree.

But yeah. Tim came. We did many interesting things. Some of them outside the bedroom! I kid.

None of them were outside the bedroom.

No really, we did many awesome things. We went to the Blue Mountains! It was foggy! Very, very, very foggy. Like, "Holy crap, it's too scary to drive anywhere" foggy. All day. Like, 2 in the afternoon. It was really weird. So, yeah, not a lot of sightseeing was done, unfortunately. 'Cept we saw the Three Sisters and junk on the first day when we arrived. So that was lucky. But yeah, then there was the nearly being suffocated in our room on the last night, which kind of spoiled the whole thing. But yeah, funny story.

We also went to Canberra for a day, which was nice. We saw Parliament House, which Tim has always wanted to see, Questacon which is mad fun, but I'm not sure he appreciated. And a cute lil picnic on some little grassy patch. Surrounded by like, 8 hours of driving. Wheee! Worth it? I think so.

I took him to see the Opera House up close, and to Pancakes on the Rocks, and... I'm sure we did other cool things too. I also worked a lot. Which was disappointing. But y'know.

Then when the time inevitably came, and he had to go home, Sarah was lovely enough to drive us to the airport, be my shoulder to cry on after he'd gone 'round that terrible corner, and then distracted me with copious amounts of booze, ice-cream, sugar and explosions. Nothing like putting a girl's heart back on track like a good explosion or two. Or twenty-eight thousand, in the case of Independance Day.

Also, I noticed or Sarah noticed, I can't remember, I was drunk, that Jayne from Firefly is totally in Independance Day. Woo, him.

It was also my birthday! So I had a party. That was really fun, considering I organised it about to days before. Lots of people came, considering. I was well pleased. And everyone was really lovely and gave me many beautiful and thoughtful presents! Including Harry Potter SceneIt! which I had been coveting since like, last Christmas. Apparently Silvia and Big Daddy had to call in favours to obtain it! I feel so very loved.

Also, 10 pairs of earrings.

Ok, so one of them was for Christmas. But still. Good thing I was in desperate need of earrings!

Also, I totally got a Christmas job at the Body Shop. That's pretty fun. I made fast friends with an awesome chick named Ness. And I mean fast friends. Everyone thought we'd been friends before we'd started working together, and were shocked when we told them that we weren't. Yes, we just get along THAT well.

She's pretty awesome. Her boyfriend is also part of the staff, which is pretty mad, coz he's awesome too.

Mmmm, Christmas was cool too. There was like, presents. And lots of food. And cousins who've like, shot up over night. Seriously, one of them was just absolutely stunning this year. She has these red curls. And I'm all "Oh man. I've always wanted red hair. And I've always wanted curls. I hate you." And then I decked her.

They don't invite me to their Christmas parties anymore.

What else, what else, what else...

I have a feeling I'm forgetting to blog about something big and important, so if it's something that I've forgotten about you, please don't get upset. I'm just a ditz, it's not that I don't love you.


Oh man. I haven't written anything in this entry for hours. It's time to cut my losses.
