Family

So, I should probably postr this tonight but you know, I'm bored of house/school work.

I have my Father's eldest brother and his new wife coming tonight. They were supposed to be here for lunch but their car broke down an hour out of Brisbane and they had to wait three hours to get it fixed. They'll be stopping by on their way to Adelaide. Apparently at some point three years ago I offended him. I have no idea how, nor do I actually care. This is a family that plays "no speaks" for months on end, drinks an entire slab in one hit and has more children than any of them can afford. And they're still breeding! Three this year, well two and a half so far.

I'll probably rant about them after they get here too.

FML

Fuck My Life.

I recently discovered this site. And now I have an ecuse to use the term.

I learned clarinet, flute, recorder, guitar and tinn whistle. I can't play any of them. Now I remember why.
You have to practice!!!!!

I guess once you get past the basics it'd be ok but Mummy is currently learning guitar. A-chord, E-chord X-chord. Oh my god I am going to go insane from this!

Day 27

day 27 - a problem that you have had.

A problem? A problem? I have had so many problems this month its not funny.

First my work register has been out, then my friend and I had a huge spat because she can't send a bloody message, I forget my assignments are due and then my wisdom teeth decide that this week is my teething week.

I guess, though, it's supposed to be bigger. Well my dad went to prison for two years, I don't talk to my family and my best friend of 15 years is moving to America.

So yeah, I guess I have problems but they're not big ones, and overall I've had a pretty damned lucky life - its why I want a four-leaf clover on my shoulder.

Day 26

day 26 - what kind of person attracts you.

Well, as I've never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I'm not entirely sure. I mean, I'm kinda short so I like it when someone taller than me wraps me up their arms, and I'm not a fan of overweight people. Not that I don't like them, I mean, I'm "obese" according to my BMI, but when you're so big you can't walk that really turns me off mentally. I like eyes and hair and arses. Seriously, big chocolate brown puppy eyes or sinking deep blue or green or grey. I guess I have a preferance for dark hair, short to shoulder length, cause I like being able to play with it.

Hey, I said I hadn't had a partner, not that I hadn't had sex.
Uh, I guess, they'd have to like sci-fi and not be an alcoholic. No drugs, preferably no smoking. Possibly a little socially awkward? I hate huge crowds and I'm not a big friend circle person.

Also Uni sucks... 5 units is way too many when three of them you haven't done any of the assignments for cause you've been too busy with the other two and work.

Day 25

day 25 - someone who fascinates you and why.

Do I actually know enough people to answer this?

I guess, the people who fascinate me most are authors - Neil Gaiman, Matthew Reilly, Terry Pratchett. Jennifer Fallon and Traci Harding and Trudi Canavan.

They just look at the world in such a way that they can then go and write a story that draws you in and teaches you and holds you completely in thrall. To write stories like that - you have to see the world as it can be, rahter than what it is. I have trouble with that - I see a tree and think wow, they seem to see a tree and think oh shit is that a doorway to another world?

Day 24

day 24 - your favourite movie and what it’s about.

Oh god, you want me to pick just one? Fine, I guess it'll have to b the cheesiest one I know. Yes, I watch this at least once a year, along with most of the Disney Movies.

Princess Bride.

Its about a young man named Wesley and a princess called Buttercup. Wesley becomesthe apprentice to the Dread Pirate Rodger, and Buttercup is all set to marry evil prince Humperdink when Wesley rescues her. Also there's Inigo Montoya "you killed my father, prepare to die". Its so bloody amusing and I love it. *nods*

If you haven't seen it, go watch it!

Day 23

day 23 - give pictures of 5 girls who are famous who you find attractive. I cite being bisexual for mixing in some boys here.

Ok, so I dont't know how to add photo's here. Instead I'll list them and why I think they're hot and you can google them, m'k?

1. Amanda Tapping. I'm a die hard SG1 fan and Sanctuary is rapidly catching up, though mostly for Tesla. Still. She's cute, fun and looks great with just an American flag wrapped around her.

2. Benedict Cumberbatch. He plays Sherlock in the BBC version. He's tall dark and handsome - need I say more? Kinda oddly, I also like Robert Downey Jr, who also plays Sherlock.

3. Milla Jovovich. Mostly I find her really skinny, but she's got such amazing eyes. No matter what, you always feel how intense she is. Also, Fifth Element.

4. Jensen Ackles. Dean from Supernatural, Ben/Alec from Dark Angel. He's a little short, well muscled and god those eyes. I also like Jared Padalecki and Mischa Collins - eyes and arses. So hot.

5. Molly C Quinn. She's the jail-bait daughter in Castle. Yet again, its her eyes. Also the really hot body. And the adorable smile. Also Castle and Becket are hot.

Thursday, 21 July 2011

Day 22

OK so, after being called in for a stupidly long shift I really didn't have the will power to check my blog yesterday. Also I may have looked at the prompt and gone wha?

how have you changed in the past 2 years?

I just don't even know how to answer this.... It's way more introspective than I've ever thought about being.
I guess though, I'm less tolerant of dicking around. Make a decision and stick to it, if it's a bad one, change your mind. Don't dick around for hours on end over it. I'm also more solid in what I believe and whether I'll let it slide if someone's trying to change my mind.

I dunno, maybe I've always been a irritating brat. The only difference now really is that I'm working/studying more and saving more money too. Though that's mostly because my best friend is now confirmed to be moving to USA in 6 months. Not in a good mood over that. I kknew it was coming, had mostly accepted it but the reality of it is making my head spin. I got virtual hugs of another friend and burst into tears today... Not a good feeling.

Tuesday, 19 July 2011

Day 21

day 21 - one of your favourite shows.

ONE? JUST ONE!?!?!

Ok, fine. Uh, well.... I guess....

Unnatural History. It's about this kid who's lived all over the world in tents and caves and stuff and get sent to school at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. He works (because apparently going to school/uni in America means working for the school in some capacity) in the DOOM room and gets involved in various problems etc.

I like the way it works - its kinda cheesy, a bit silly and a lot amusing. He's spent his life learning to fight and only eats food that's actually good for you - ostrich over beef, organic only etc. He meets his cousin and one of the girls, who is not really a love interest. Which I adore - I'm so sic of boy meets girl etc. etc.

There's only one season of it so far which sucks but hey, it was good.

Monday, 18 July 2011

Day 20

day 20 - how important you think education is.

Uh, well, considering I'm doing a Diploma and a BA at the same time - even if it is part time - should say quite eloquently how important I think education is. Although, I do think that education should be tailored to the individual. I learn best by reading and doing. Lectures are the reason I'm not doing the Off Campus Res thing. That and I spent many of my weekends in one at high school while one of my friends was there. Alcohol ahoy, strangely no drugs and I was too young for sex but still, I don't really feel the need to repeat sharing my space with people I barely know and certainly don't care about.

As I have a huge headache and have done four 5am wake ups in a row, I'm going to leave it there.

Sunday, 17 July 2011

Day 19

day 19 - disrespecting your parents.

There's a reason I never watched the Simpsons as a kid and it's entirely due to that sentence *points up*.

My Father was fanatical about it, I never watched Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad or the one about Fry... Can't remember what its called, its set in the future. Mummy preffered me to not watch shows like Charmed for about a year before she relaxed - mostly cause she realised she was being a hypocrit. Charmed comes out here one year and the next she's asking me about this "show with three sisters but they're all witches", "yes Mummy, you said I couldn't watch it because it's not Christian and would warp my idea of what's real", "oh".

I never liked disrespecting my elders any way. I'm fairly polite unless people are being spectacularly stupid or inefficient. <- I should explain that one shouldn't I? One of my friends is the kind of person who will stand in front of a display of ten items, decide she wants one, then compares it to the other nine. She then spends the next half an hour changing her mind over which item to buy and whether she actually needs the item. After which she then calls me and asks me to help her decide. At which point I yell and slam the phone down.

Throwing Things

I want to throw things....

Is that an appropriate response when your best friend tells you at the very last minute after two months that you can't meet her at the airport because she's leaving straight from there for a family thing five hours away?

I mean, she's known since before she left that I would be picking her up because I couldn't send her off, I was at the induction for work. In the last four conversations it's been I'll see you when you get off the plane - I've had my days off picked out for it since the week she left. And today - she comes home in three days - she says I can't meet her.

I haven't replied to her yet, not sure I could make it sound pleasant.

Saturday, 16 July 2011

Day 18

day 18 - your beliefs.

Hard to describe really. I enjoy mythology and religion and symbolism etc. but I don't really believe in them.
I don't really believe in Australia or Christianity or Justice or Truth or Paganism. I love them, both as abstract concepts and solid hold-in-your-hand actions. I would like to believe in them, I always wanted to be like my friends and head-over for Jesus and the Father and Gaia, but I never had that solid unshakeable faith that they existed.

I have faith. I don't care about how you practice religion or what you believe in, just that you do. I would like to believe in Justice but the closest I get is Karma. I've just seen the system screw people over too often in the name of Justice to do it.

Could also just be that I don't believe in anything. That I haven't "found" it yet. I guess partly thats why I'm doing comparative religion.

Meh, I just don't care about it, it the same way I don't care about evolution vs creation.

I Shall Name Him Squishy... Err, Sparkly

So, I may have seen "Finding Nemo" a few too many times. But as you can observe from the title, I have fish!

Admittedly I also have two cats (hand raised from 3 weeks 'cause their mum was skittled) who are 6yrs old, a dog who is now.... oh wow, 12 years old, a rabbit we've had for nearly a year and two parakeets we've had for less than two months.

But I like tropical fish. We used to have a 6 foot tank, length not height. It held - maximum number we reached only once - 264 guppies, 25 neon tetras, 6 sharks (which aren't full of teeth but are amazingly cute), 12 catfish and 31 snails. Oh and 5 painted angelfish! Now though we have a small hexagonal tank that's about a metre tall. We just bought guppies, mollies and neon tetras - because neons are my favourite, I love the bright blue flash - yesterday. This morning though, we went and bought two sharks, one of which is an albino. Usually sharks are black with red or yellow fins, but this one is white bodied with pale yellow fins. And my new favourite whom I have named squishy (hence the title) is a catfish. Now most catfish are long, dull grey/brown and quite thin. This one is black with white spots!!!! He's kinda fat too and only about as long as the guppies, he looks a bit like a night-sky. *bounces*

So yes, I now have a menagerie of all bar two animals that I actually want. I can't have a Chinchilla because of the cats and I can't have a snake because mum hates them. Dad and I promised to keep it int he shed but she refuses. I also really want a ferret ala "Beastmaster", Kodo and Podo are so adorable.

Day 17

day 17 - your highs and lows of this past year.

Hn, if you take year as the last 12 months then I guess the low would have to be loosing Penny. She wasn't a particularly close friend, but she was a friend from a very special chapter in my life. We went to Uni together for the last four years, doing our Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing. She'd just finished it and was graduating when she had a stroke. She never made graduation but there was a small memorial. She was a great writer, lots of funny, special, short stories and a wonderful sense of humour. I'll miss her.

Highs, there have been a few of them actually. I started my Bachelor of Arts, something that in 2004 (last year of high school) I was certain I'd never even want to do. I'm doing Religious Studies - basically its comparative religion - and Literature and History as my majors. Pure accident actually, you need 24 units to make a BA and a major is 8 units. I just happen to be doing all the units for all of the subjects.

Another high would be getting a Credit Card. Not so I can go insane with it, but just the sense of freedom and responsibilty of it. I paid for the very very necessary car updates and I'll be buying tickets to USA next year.

Best high of all though was being Bridesmaid for my best friend. I was the first she asked and the one who got to keep her high till it happened as her Maid of Honour was in LA, and her two other bridesmaids were getting married too! We had such pretty dresses, though they were strapless, so I'll be altering mine into a halter neck. They were forest green satin with sparkles and hit the floor, made dancing in them a bit hard even in heels. I don't usually like dresses but its the perfect opera dress and I don't even have to "cut it down!" sorry, it's the standard comment for a long dress, and I've just watched 27-dresses.

Early Morning

Seriously, what kind of idiot wakes up at 0530 to start work at 0645?

Apparently me. Because I'm half dressed finishing my coffee after two pieces if fruit toast and wondering if I could just zombie my way through the day.... Although, this is no where as crappy as working in Melb for 13 months... Got up at 0530 to start at 0830.

Still, I like sleep, and I don't gget enough of it cause I don't sleep well.... And then I have to pay attention to a register all day, blargh.

So Good Morning to you all!

Thursday, 14 July 2011

Day 16

day 16 - your views on mainstream music.
Oh this is easy.

Mainstream music for the most part is bouncy, continuous and self-serving. I'm sorry, I like a couple of boy bands, a few single girls and boys and in general don't listen to music in English.

I like music. It's soothing, uplifting, amusing and a vital part of my day. I spend a LOT of time on my iPod. But 60% of the music on my iPod is not mainstream English. 40% is either in Japanese, Korean, French or Turkish (possibly Hungarian I still can't remember where Tarkan is from), or its Disney (yes I have the soundtrack for nearly every Disney movie made and a few animated ones not by Disney). The other 20% is classical - Brahm, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Saint-Saens. Oh and Liszt, can't forget the Mephisto Waltz.

The next 35% is covered by my Emotard list which is all Nightwish, HIM, Linkin Park and XXX plus any music from 1942 (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company B - Andrew Sisters) to 1999 (All Star -Smash Mouth). That set of music covers country, rock and blues.

The last 5% is music from 2000 onward, which is what I'm considering Mainstream. It's got Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, ColdPlay, The Script and various others. Mostly I just find it too same-y. It's all pretty notes and ME ME ME ME.... Yeah, I can't explain it, I just don't find it all that interesting.

Wednesday, 13 July 2011

Day 15

day 15 - your favourite LJ'ers.

Currently I'd have to say Neil Gaimon is my favourite. I love his work from "Sandman" of which I've only read bits to "American Gods" and "Stardust" which I've now read multiple times, I have yet to read a story of his I don't like. His blog is really interesting too, he sees the world in a very different way.

Of course we can't forget the reason I got a blog in the first place - a rather wonderful author wrote a rather wonderful story about kid!sherlock and BAMF!Nanny!John. And then made a blog about it. Which you can find here - http://boringlifeofjohnwatson.blogspot.com/
and then some smart cookie made one for Lestrade in the same universe:
http://interestingmurders.blogspot.com/

I don't really read blog's or lj's though, too much study and boring life stuff, though I have started doing an online RP again, so that should be fun.

Night all

Tuesday, 12 July 2011

BookFair pt3

Well, technically this  is Melbourne pt1 but it was easier to just continue.

Not that there's much to say, bought a new jacket, missed my heart-sib AGAIN, had pizza for tea.

On the upshot! I watched the re-release of Beauty and the Beast, with the extra song in it. It was odd. Very odd. Enjoyable though, I love it. Definitely my favourite disney movie. Watched Tangled afterward, has my second favourite scene in it. The ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast is my favourite but the Lantern scene comes in a really close second.

Day 14

My earliest memory.

Hn, I think my earliest memory is from kindergarten. I was three and it was the end of summer but the start of school. We were told to bring a change of clothes and to be sent in wearing clothes that could be stained. After morning "classes" and lunch we went outside and set up in the shade was a HUGE set of water troughs with floating toys and jugs and in each trough there was a set of plastic tubes with funnels and waterwheels and things like that. The different troughs had different coloured water - blue, pink, green and yellow I think. We spent the afternoon playing with them.

Sunday, 10 July 2011

Day 13

Somewhere I'd like to live.

London, definitely. Possibly New York. Venice, oh my yes.

Basically anywhere not Australia. I love the mountains in Australia but unless I can work from home I really don't enjoy the country. I'd rather move to London, though I think I'd hate it for the smog which would drive me out of the city proper. I have bad asthma, can't even live in Melbourne without it playing up.
Mostly though, I think I want to live there because of A) the accents and B) the history and C) the countryside. I love rolling hills and plains with OAKS and BIRCH and ELM and and and.... Bah I can't rememeber the others. I hate gum trees. They're essential for Koala's but really, I hate them. You can't climb them, they stink to high heaven and the branches fall at a moments notice.
Cop out tonight, I'm not at home so this is short, heading off to have some fun.
Night all.

BookFair pt2

I like book faires. I got two full gren shoping bags ful of fantasy and sci-fi books for less than $60. I got more than forty all up XD

I also went tourist shopping and spent nearly $100 on a tea set, I"ll try to add the picture when I get home, currently I'm at a friends. The teapot itself is about two-thirds the size of a dinner plate wide but only about 6cm tall. Its white with branches of a sakura tree in full bloom on it and a small kanji poem (I'm guessing its a poem anyway) in black on it. It's sooooooo pretty, and came with three cups, but five bowls - tell me the logic in that one.

Anyway it was awesome to get all the books - I got a cop of Faust but I'm not sure who wrote that particular version, there are apparently a lot of them. Badly set out, though, all the books were just set out everywhere. No set out at all, romance next to life-style next to sci-fi next to comedy next to fantasy. Rinse, mix and repeat for twenty trestle tables.

The host for the weekend was a friend of Father's, a very nice man, if a little neurotic. HE has a chocolate lab x kelpie that is fully as strange as he is and adopted me - even to the point of snapping at Father when he made an expansive gesture that apparently came to close to hitting me. His eight-week old kitten decided I was the newest style of jungle gym and spent the weekend alternately climbing/attacking/cuddling me and attacking a piece of wool Mummy crocheted for her.

All in all, a very productive fun weekend. I have until Friday off from wok, so I"m thinking that I'll stay here for a few days then head home.

Thursday, 7 July 2011

BookFair pt1

So, I'm leaving for a book fair tomorrow straight after work, won't have net for the three days. Should be good, though I'm not looking forward to the four hour drive to get there. Oh well, might actually get some study done for once. Then again I have a half dozen prompts to fill that have completely destroyed my mind so, maybe not. See you all Monday instead.

Day 12

Bullet your whole day.

Oh god, this fell on the perfect day.

-Woke up.
- Dressed in pj's.
- Made and drank cinnamon coffee.
- Ate toast with strawberry jam for breakfast.
- Opened laptop and started reading Sherlock (BBC) fanfics.
- Complained about internet connection being intermittent thanks to Father having stepped on computer cords last week and tore laptop out of my hands. Idiot.
- Began IM conversation with a friend from Melbourne.
- Filled in several online surveys.
- Checked bank balance.
- Made another coffee, and grabbed a scone from last nights baking session.
- Continued reading Good Omens fanfics.
- Watched Castle episode about the soapie murder.
- Ate toasted ham and cheese and mushroom sammich for lunch.
- Said "hello" to Mummy as she came home from work.
- Read chapters 1-3 of current BA units.
- Complained about friend having to catch a bus instead of staying home to talk with me.
- Studied options for assignment and decided on the easiest one, cause I"m bloody lazy and hate aboriginal beliefs. It's fully as confusing as Hinduism.
- Wrote the beginnings of my first Sherlock fanfic.
- Bounced around in manic glee when best friend in America (currently, she IS coming home) called.
- Complained again about internet.
- Found Mummy's missing bank card, it was under her pile of crocheting. How?
- Said "hello" to father as he came home from work.
- Complained about lack of juice in fridge, made another coffee instead.
- Did more surveys in between hunting down current favourite fic to check for updates.
- Checked ebay to see if enough time had elapsed between trying to log in and being locked out.
- Checked shipping prices for Chibiterasu plushies.
- Fed rabbit.
- Perused freezer for dinner tonight, chicken stir-fry.
- Laughed at parents who went to op shop and found three things they were after for less than $50 all up. This includes a china cabinet.
- Ruminated on spending $70 for a set of Chibiterasu plushies versus buying fish, a new bag and books at the fair this weekend. Decided to wait.
- Watched Hercules, the ep where Autolycus nearly gets hung. Not as good without Iolaus.
- Prepared the veggies for dinner - had to keep the mushrooms separate because Father doesn't eat them. Chicken is really annoying to cut up though.
- Searched for a new messenger bag, decided not to buy one yet.
- Made myself the first alcoholic drink in nearly two months. Kahlua with coke. Planning on having a sheridans later. Although that will depend on Father opening a bottle of wine. Not sure what goes with Thai Sweet Chilli.
- Made a second Kahlua while cooking.
- Sat to eat while watching Swamp People. Stupid people catching alligators with nylon rope, no gloves and metal hooks. Father likes it.
- Read more fics, some old favourites instead of doing more study.
- Watched Stargate Universe, Star Trek Next Gen and in between packed a bag for two night away.
- Going to bed.
- Nope that's as far as you get.

Wednesday, 6 July 2011

Day 11

IPOD SHUFFLE TIEM!!

I love this sort of thing, cause its what I do anyway - I have playlists but they're also on shuffle, so I never listen to the same songs in a row. For this though, I'm using my whole music library, this could get interesting.

1. Do You Wanna Date My Avatar - The Guild. ROFLMAO, seriously, I heard this song for the first time when my best friend decided that I needed to learn about the Guild. I had just started playing WOW (World of Warcraft for those not so insanely geeky) and had spent about an hour deciding on my character. Very good memories!

2. Shine - Mr. Big. Oh I love this song, most people know it because it was on the radio for a while. I know it because its the ending theme to one of my favourite anime (Japanese Animation) Hellsing. The original series they started before the manga had finished and went in VERY different directions. There's something about this song, its so hopeful and heartfelt, I usually end up putting it on repeat.

3. Beer for my Horses - Toby Keith & Willie Nelson. Oh god, this song. It's one of those songs you just love, even if its only for the story line, the filmclip has Corin Nemac (Jonas from Stargate) in drag. But the song brings back some great memories of my heart-sib.

4.Simarik - Tarkan. This I found by accident reading a wonderful fic called Gypsy Caravan. I was hooked on the fic and decided to follow the links she's added. This guy is Hungarian and Zazie is French. Zazie is another of the recommendations for music from the fic. I love the light baritone and the accent will always do it for me. Hell any accent does it for me.

5. I kissed a Girl - Katy Perry. I had this song as my ringtone the day after it came out. It spent six months there with me and my friends giggling because my parents have no clue I'm bi and really did "kiss a girl and like it". Of course my ringtone is now "C is for Cookie" by the Cookie Monster, I'm not sure what that says about me.

6. Wicked Game (666 Remix) - HIM. This, despite being somewhat uncomfortably sexy, reminds me of working in Melbourne for 13moths. Up at 5.30, out the door at 0600, on the bus at 0630 and ont eh train at 0700. Start work at 0830, finish at 1630 on the train at 1709, the bus at 1830. Walk in the house at 1900 and collapse. They were very long, desperately trying days that I never want to repeat, but there is a sense of accomplishment to them, mostly because I had a great deal of fun in between.

7. A Thousand Words - Savage Garden. Oh this song is lovely. Another from the "Summer That Didn't End", I spent all four months of summer vacation at the second of my best friends house. It was actually a small winery, and we drank five bottles of their wine over the middle two months. It seemed such at lot at the time. Very innocent, my first kiss, my first time away from home for so long.

8. Sobakasu - Judy and Mary. This one reminds me of being 15 and just discovering anime, my best friend of the time and I had just sat up watching the last 7 volumes of Ruroni Kenshin (which this is the opening theme to) and had finished it at 0604. At 0637 her mum came in and demanded we get up and get showered so we could go to Daylseford for the farmers market. We were wrecked - we'd drunk about four litres of chocolate milk and hadn't slept since 7am the day before. God it was fun.

9. White Night Fantasy - Nightwish. Imagery, memories, my first boyfriend, my first girlfriend (sort of - I spent an entire year teasing and flirting with her and not realising it, don't ask LONG story). Possibly my favourite of theirs, its got such wonderful soaring notes and dark themes and yes it is considered to be an "emo" band. Its the perfect example of the type of gothic/metal/dark music I like. No screaming, a definite tune, solid but background base.

10. I'll Make a Man Out of You - Disney's Mulan. Oh god. I was addicted to this song the first time I watched the movie. I just love the montage of idiot and useless to competent warrior. It also brings back the memory of blaring this out the speakers of a nice car at 9pm in the middle of Melbourne. In that nice car were five women of a similar age belting out the words in surprising tune for the volume we were screaming at. ROFL, it was soooooo much fun. We had an entire playlist of Disney songs, Tarzan, Mulan, Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Aladdin and well a lot of others.

Tuesday, 5 July 2011

Day 10

Discuss your first love and first kiss

Hn, this one is kinda weird... I mean I remember being 7 and getting caught with my hand down Peter's pants (gotta love church pews XD) but I think my first kiss was Harvey Jones when I was 5. We were playing Kiss Chasey and I managed to catch him, I remember being so proud, and announcing to my parents that night that Harvey was going to be my boyfriend. John was my first "love", he was 6'4" ex-prison and so muscled that at 6 I could sit on his left hand and he could swing me around in circles - vertically, not him spinning around. I still have no idea how dad met him, but he lived with us for a bit.
If we're talking actual kisses and love though, I was 15 and her name was Susan. It was her 16th birthday, and we'd had a fair bit to drink that night but I kissed her that morning, and we had fun that night. We had to be quiet cause we had our best friend on the second bed, so we didn't get any further than kisses but still.
As for love, I love a lot of people but I've never been in love, so yeah.

Late but, meh.

I'm Back

I love my job, I really do. So it's nice to know I still have it after a second week of horror. THis one consisting mainly of sleep, work and another uni assignment I thought I'd finished. Oh and did I mention when I get tired my til is out and I get called for a counselling session? This time we've set out soome rules - no more than 20 hours over four or five shifts. This is EXCELLENT!
I didn't realise just how tired trying to get my til right and get my study in and everything had made me until I slept 18 hours in one hit. Usually I need about 10 a night, but 18 is scary.
Assignment is going well though, the section I thought would be hardest was the easiest part and the easy part is still giving me 300 words worth of trouble but its getting there. XD
So I'll start the meme again tonight, from where I left off and just do em as I have time.
