My lovely city

I’m writing this entry in Notepad of all things, probably like the oldest program known to man on a windows computer lol, next to DOS.  God I remember the DOS
days back in the early 90’s where you had to type codes like "DIR – DOS’ to even run a program! lol!  how things have
changed over the years!

I’m on my new laptop, which looks identical to my last one, so it just feels like I’m writing on the old one.  I really
felt like writing an entry this morning but the damn OD site was down!  I’ll have to copy and paste this over later I guess, but
i wanted to add photos and I can’t exactly do that in notebook.  They are only crappy photos I took with my phone
whilst walking home from work some mornings at like 5:30am.  I do that a lot because it saves me on bus fares, but I
probably make up for it by spending money at that damn 24 hour Subway in kangaroo point lol.  The guy behind the
counter remembers me now, and handed me a loyalty card!  lol!  Yup, think that means I’m there too much 😀
I usually go there after gym to get a protein drink, but i can’t go past a yummy subway brekkie.

I haven’t written in a fair while, basically cos I haven’t felt like it!  I’ve worked so much!  I’m meant to be casual
but I’ve done the last 12 of the last 14 shifts in a row!  So tired.  But it works out, as I know don’t have to work until Tuesday,
and then I work that night, then have another 2 nights off 😀  wooo.  If I wasn’t working Tues night, I would have 6 nights
in a row off!  Oh well!

Going to a party at the gold coast tonight.  I’ve been invited to three parties today.  It’s annoying because, as usual, I have
nothing on, yet one weekend comes up where I have three parties on the same day at the same time!  WHY!?  And I can’t really make it to
all three like some people do.  Two are in Brissy, and despite my thoughts that the ones in Brissy will probably be more fun, I’ve
decided on the gold coast party on the basis that this friend has been such a good friend to me lately and I feel closer to
him than I do the other two guys.  Having said that, I still feel really bad that I can’t attend the other two parties 🙁 
I’d absolutely love to attend all three.  I’m sure I’ll see photos from at least one of the parties as some of my friends are
going to it.  I’ve just gotta try to push that out of my mind and actually have some fun at the party I am attending, even
though I will only really know the party boy there!  it’s always awkward sitting there around a group of people I’ve
never met before, as I haven’t the slightest as to what to say!  I’m hopeless at meeting new people!  I guess that’s a good excuse to
go and get myself absolutely smashed lol.

Winter’s definitely here.  I like winter in the way that it makes me feel that life is real again.  Like, I get into such a routine in life,
going to work, getting dressed every night, yet when winter rolls around, the blankets go on the bed, I gotta wear extra clothes,
my lips go dry, and when i walk outside into that crisp cool morning air, it really reminds me of living back with my parents on
the family farm, where sometimes it used to reach -5 degrees celcius.  Winter gives me a fresh breath on life.

Oh thank GOD, the site is back online lol.  It actually feels like I’m writing in my diary now!  I know my mate Bill writes his entries in Word and copies them over, but that just feels weird to me!  Like I try to do that.  I know I wrote my entries on paper when I was in Melbourne a few years ago, but copying them over took forever!  Just feels weird re-typing sometime because it’s not really current anymore.  You can tell I’ve changed programs because the formatting of this entry is different lol.

I’m in a pretty happy mood.  I mean yeah I’m still in the same job, nothing’s changed, but after working so much and seeing my pay check I’ve really perked up.  All that hard work was worth it!  I’m off this morning to look for a birthday pressie for my mate at the coast.  I have no idea what to get him, as he seems to have everything already.  And I don’t just like buying a birthday present for someone for the hell of it.  I actually think about it, and want it to mean something.  in the past I have given Kiki a photo I’ve taken and put it in a frame with a caption or something, as well as numerous Twilight posters cos I know she’s obsessed with it, and my mum I got a photo blown up and put in a really nice frame that she displays in the loungeroom on the farm even to this day.  It’s nice seeing it whenever I’m out there.  With Gary I made a photo-collage of photos of him in really fun situations and stuck cute froggy stickers all around the outside, evenly spaced.  It took me a good few hours!  Cutting and gluing and stuff.  But that’s what I do, that’s how I show I care to those who mean a lot to me.  If I buy a crappy present I at least like to have a reason behind buying it.  I think buying a gift card is lame, but I can see the sense behind it – I don’t want me friend to dislike what I’ve given them, even though they should just shut the hell up and accept it 😀

I was gunna upload pictures, but now I’ve decided they are lame.  They are only pictures of the city I took whilst walking home.  Oh okay, why not, on different days with different weather.

I really feel like I need to get some more photos of my adventures, but I really haven’t been out to take photos in a while!  I’m kinda living through my friends facebook pics at the moment, how lame 🙂
