Nothing New and a Little About Me.

So, my life is unbelievably boring lately. The only things that are new in my life are my decision to stay living at home until after I finish my bachelor of business and the latest Sims 3 expansion pack. Speaking of which, I need to buy it.

So yes, my decision to remain living with my mother and sister until at least halfway through 2014 is almost purely financial, but it gives me the freedom to still take holidays, finally get my life together before I move out, and of course, have my washing and cooking done for me. 

Also, apparently all my technology is going to fail on me at once, my phone has stopped working properly, my macbook isn't holding charge very well and my iPod has been slowly dieing for a while now, so I'm going to have to save up and sort that out.

And now, for the second half of this blog, for something a little different, a quick list of 5 things that I love and 5 things that I don't love. Just for a little insight into me as a person.

Firstly, the list of 5 things I love:

1. Wearing bright colours! It makes me feel better when I'm in a bad mood and it brightens life up a little.
2. The Sims 3. No questions asked, this is the greatest game EA have ever released and I will always love The Sims franchise.
3. My pretty blue Lancer, even though it has it's fair share of dints, I love it to death. However, I don't have a license because I bought my car to learn to drive then never bothered. Public transport is better for the environment anyway.
4. Reading long books because if I really like a book I'd rather it was super long, that way I can read it for longer.
5. Cats! I know that sounds a bit crazy, but I grew up with two cats in my house and I got my own cat when my dad left and his cat died. I love that cats are easy to look after and they just lay around and don't do much.

And for the list of 5 things I don't love:

1. Spiders. I'm a true arachnophobia, the kind who has panic attacks over any spider with a leg span bigger than an Australian 20cent piece. Even little ones make sleeping a hard thing for me.
2. Wet hair is my biggest pet peeve, it drives me insane, I just don't like the feeling of it sitting on my neck and back.
3. The sound that thongs (of flip-flops for all non-Australians) make when people walk. I feel like they are walking in a puddle all the time and it makes me uncomfortable.
4. While I love the taste of coffee, I don't love that it makes your teeth yellow, and that I can't drink it without at least 3 sugars because it is so bitter.
5. All over the internet, especially facebook and twitter, are people who either can't or won't use proper English. It drives me insane to see every second post have either an obvious spelling error, or obvious grammatical errors. The worst is that people don't understand between then and than. You do one thing THEN another, you do one thing rather THAN another. Sort it out people, it's not that difficult.

 So, now you guys know me a little better, I'd like anyone who reads this the entire way through to post a comment telling me 5 things about yourself because I want to get to know you as well.

It's Been a While.

I've been in Queensland a full month now. I can't say I like it all that much more, but I certainly don't hate it as much as I did the first week. We had the internet and home phone cut off a month ago, and to be honest, it's given me time to do more productive things with my time than blog, check facebook, tweet something, check facebook again and then google something I didn't need to know.

I'm officially a university student, however I'm only completing a TPP so I am able to get into the degree I want to do. Speaking of which, I found out that a friend of mine is applying to do the same course on the same campus in Brisbane as I am applying to. This made me excited because the one thing that had been making me toss between studying that degree and in Brisbane as opposed to a different degree and in Melbourne, was the thought that I'd be entirely alone in Brisbane. And being my paranoid self, I wasn't sure I'd be able to take that risk. However, now knowing that someone I know might be there, I'm most certainly going to apply.

I've also made a few subtle changes. I've gone back to having blonde hair, which I am so much more comfortable with. I've also, for some reason unknown to myself, become a lot more feminine. I painted my nails just because, I got dressed in all black and white with jewelry for uni, and I've been wearing more makeup than usual. 


On account of knowing a few people here, I've also managed to have my first concert and night out drinking already. The RSL club had a U2 Tribute band come to play, and my aunt and uncle and a bunch of their friends decided to go, so I decided to tag along. I got all dressed up (in a dress and everything) and went out. My uncle decided to feed me drinks all night, and by 10.30 when the band was done I was pretty drunk. We then decided to walk halfway across the city centre to a tavern where I, who hates rum, decided to drink a rum and coke. My mum then dragged me home because my uncle was too drunk to speak, so we all called it a night. I also met the guy who invented the electric violin, and studied one of the degrees I want to. It was the best night I've had since I got here. Most nights however, I filled with my mother and sister pointlessly yelling at each other and driving me insane, my mother using some sort of condescending tone to ruin any thing, and a lot of tv.

I'm excited because two months from tomorrow, I am flying back to my not so lovely home town for my best friends 18th birthday. It means I'll get to catch up with the 3 people I still bother to keep contact with from back there, and it'll be a nice cold change from the Queensland climate. The only thing I'm not keen for, is the 3 hour layover in Sydney, which essentially means I'll be spending around 2 hours wandering through an airport alone. Being alone doesn't tend to bode well with me, and it makes me anxious to think about it. I'm sure it'll be worth it to see some of my favourite people though.

Right now though, I've just finished watching Old Dogs and I'm going to go to bed and probably watch youtube videos until I feel tired enough to sleep. This weekend is going to be a quite one, maybe a few visits here or there, but mostly quite. Then I have a free Monday, two classes on Tuesday, free Wednesday, one class on Thursday and free Friday. Somewhere in there I need to finally get my student ID done, and buy my study desk. Lucky I have plenty of free time though right?
