happy new year :)

I've been doing my list for a whole year now. It really doesn't feel that long. I haven't completed near enough, but that's ok because I've decided that this year is going to be goddamn awesome. Or else. Anyway, I've been adventuring all over the state and am finally home, have cleaned my room and have some time so I am updating, because I have been awfully slack of it lately. Sorry.

So chronologically, to please the OCD sufferer within us all:

I tried really hard to see the eclipse for number 13). It was the 21st of December. I was quite ill. In fact I had taken the day off work, travelled from the city where I was cat-sitting, to Hornsby, where I know there is a free doctors clinic just for a medical certificate. It seemed so far. So got the doctors cert, went all that way back. Collapsed on the couch and watched eps of heroes while feeling sorry for myself. Then remembered that the eclipse was that night, spent 30 mins psyching myself up for it and then going outside. I forgot that being in newtown there are trees and buildings fucking everywhere and I lacked the commitment to walk to somewhere with more sky view. So I missed it. I shall wait another 6 months for an opportunity to see a lunar eclipse. If it's cloudy or I somehow miss it again, so-help-me I'll kick something. After dealing with the pain associated with kicking something, I'll come up with a list of things titled eclipse that I could use here as the wording of this goal is a bit ambivalent.

So NYE last night, was in the city. We walked from Wynyard station to some wharf that was a bit past The Rocks. Which was fine, I know The Rocks, no list-ness there. On the way back though, instead of sitting and people watching and waiting for the masses to clear and get on a train later, we kept walking. Oh wynyard, you so full, let's go to town hall. No wait, too crowded too. We'll just walk to fucking central. I WALKED MORE THAN 3.5 KM. yes, I looked it up on google maps. My legs hurt :( But I now understand just how freaking massive george street is.

So as you well and truly should understand by now is the fact that I AM GOING TO LONDON. Quite soon, actually. 6ish weeks. FUCK YES. but list related, yes - I got my passport and can therefore cross off 54). Passports are funny. Well, Australian ones anyway. They have this bit in the middle you can't bend or put in water because it's got technology in it and it's all coloured purple with australian flora and fauna bullshit. ODD. But I have one, so I win :D

Last one, as we enter the new year, I finished a day planner diary whatsit. So I get to cross off 100). I also bought a new one, which is an improved version of the one I had for last year. It's actually super cool :)

So, I've completed 22 items on my list. If I continue at this rate, I'm fucked. But like I said goddamn AWESOME, or else. Lots of list stuff!

forget the shirt

I start uni next week!! YEAH! This time next week I'll be telling you how my first lecture and tutorial went. I know, starting four more years of education shouldn't be so exciting but GAWSH. I'm bored of home now. I do quite love my lazy days of sleeping in til the afternoon but once I start going to uni I'll appreciate and love the sleeping OH SO MUCH more :) and on wednesday I have orientation day. woo. meeting people...

I'm going to start talking about list related things instead of meeting people because we all know my opinion on people...

I was invited to a masquerade party. I know, my list says HOST a party. but I reckon going to one will def be good inspiration/idea giving material. 19). is one of those things that are going to be a stretch. I'm terrible at organising ( as my mates I went to tropfest on sunday with will testify to - group getting on at three different stations, meeting at epping to get on a train we could've been on earlier...ergh ).

T got a piano :) well, keyboard. WHATEVER. I still get to learn when we move! It's so cute with the letter stickers and different noises and naww. And it also takes up too much room in our already limited space we currently have.

I got a letter from Rach :) It's all pretty happy atm, aye? I'm writing a reply nowish. 49). IS SO MUCH FUN!! hehehe.

Ok, so it's not all a happy atm. My 6 is all a bit fucked. I don't know who is talking to who, what I'm supposed to say or not say or if I've done anything wrong. So I've secluded a bit, I'll be sitting in my corner and if they want me to listen then cool, I'm happy to listen, but otherwise I'll be avoiding it all. You know, in my corner.

I know it doesn't count for 73). but i got E to redo my blue again today :) its turquoise. but still. It's a bit bigger and more visible coz of the shortness of my hair. We had to bleach it twice to get the colour out of it proper.

I'm practicing for 84).. Well not really. I don't leave the house in heels because I just embarass myself. I can't really walk properly in them coz I'm a clutz, and I can't last long in them because my feet just hurt. So, I have my tallest heels under my desk to wear when I sit here. It's kinda the reverse of normal people :) They hurt though :( Oh well, they're pretty, and we all know that's what matters.

I bought myself a diary. Which is a kind of day planner I think. But yes, 100). totally on the way of. I put everyone's contact details in and birthdays. It's amazing and a stationary item so therefore immediatly cool because I was allowed to go stationary shopping for it :) I LOVE STATIONARY. I should get a t-shirt. Actually scrap that. I should just get more stationary and forget the shirt.

muchlove.
