Kittens
6th. Feb, 2007 | 11:01 pm
mood: 
sad
Little baby ones, two tiny little black kittens running up and down the street crying. I wanted to rescue them but they wouldnt let me. I think they were abandoned, or possibly strays. they were very skittish, and so hungry. The kittens wouldnt let us near them, one went into the stormwater drain, and we could hear it crying under the footpath. We spent a long time trying to coax them into letting us pick them up. my hand is pretty scratched up, and eventually we had to give up and just leave them. We left some food for them though.
They were across the road and a few doors down from paddys house. When we went to get in the car i heard them crying. I would have had to take them to the rspca, i doubt i could have kept them or found anyone to take them. My thought was at least if they're put down they wont be having more kittens. not that iwant them put down, i think id cry. I wouldnt have anything to do with putting them down. Possibly id take them to animal welfare instead though, because i know a girl that works there.
I really want to try again tomorrow.. poor lost little darlings.

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas...
19th. Dec, 2006 | 11:04 pm
mood: 
festive
I went Christmas shopping yesterday, and it was pretty good. I now have all my shopping done, and I also bought myself a new handbag, shoes and bracelets. They're the most wonderfully festive bracelets, they look like they're made out of candy cane.
Tonight my sister helped me to wrap up all my pressies, I love having a pile of presents all ready to give to people. I think it's one of the most exciting parts of Christmas, cos I know what's in the present.. but do you??
Work is pretty insane... we're so busy, and people are still putting in Christmas orders. I can't believe it, I mean honestly. I'm unorganized, but to be ordering your Christmas ham this late? Why bother.
On Sunday I got really badly sunburnt. I have glowing red shoulders, and porcelain white stripes from under the straps of my dress. I even think my eyes got burnt. We were at an afternoon tea at Jenny's house (She's the church minister), and I was thinking we were going to be inside. Silly me, I wasn't wearing any suncream, and I didn't have my sunglasses.
I have my final driving lessons tomorrow and thursday. Practice test tomorrow, and real one Thursday. I'm SO nervous!!! Butterflies in stomach and all. I REALLY hope that I pass, and hopefully my car will be all good by Christmas too. Paddy wants me to be his driving wench this time, silly boy.
Chrissy eve Sally is having a party, which should be fun, or at least interesting for Nicola and myself depending on our transportation. And Christmas should be pretty alright, spending time with my family and Paddy and his family.
I'm looking forward to New Years, it should be awesome. We're going to Stacey's house for Ryan's 21st. He was in Scotland for New Years last year, so it'll be great to celebrate both his birthday and the new year all together. Nikki is thinking about coming along too, which should be fun, and Paddy has invited Dom, who's really nice even if he is a bit quiet.
I'd better get to bed soon, I'm fast becoming a very sleepy girl, and my poor sunburnt eyes don't appreciate this screen much.

Sunday
12th. Nov, 2006 | 07:46 pm
mood: 
tired
music: Silverman - Onno
Having a Sunday night at home.. first one for ages actually. I've been so tired. So very tired.
I want to buy a Nintendo DS lite.. it's been suggested that I only want it because it's pink. I think I actually want it, and I'm sure once I have it I'll play with it alot.. but I'm not sure yet, and $200 is a lot to spend on something I'm buying just because it's pink.
Paddy and I have been looking into sponsoring a World Vision child. We're both really keen to do it, but we want to make sure. The sponship lasts for 10-15 years, so it's a fair comitment. $40 a month may not be that much, but 15 years is a long time. I really like the thought of being able to help a whole community. I'd like to think that Paddy and I would still be together, but who knows what's going to happen. I guess if we broke up I'd take over sponsorship, or we'd share it still.. I'm not sure, I'd hate to pull out.
It rarely comes out right
Tells what’s on your mind
Or how you feel inside
I get all confused
Struggle to make sense
There’s no such word as….

Well I don't do so well at updating. It's a phase thing, a time thing.. and mostly, an if I can be bothered thing.
I've made my tafe subject selection for next year. I'm gonna be studying for 2 more years, so completing the course in the same 3 years that I had originally been planning to. I don't think I'm being disadvantaged at all, I'm happy with my decision. I'm also hoping to pick up art again, which I had as an elective during first term this year.
Caity's cocktail night was fun, though I keep forgetting to give her my donation. Oops!
Sally is back from South Africa now, I can't wait to hear all about it. I'd love to go abroad, the whole culture difference would be a great experience.
Brian and Sammy's wedding was really good. It was a fairly stressful day for those 'involved' but I don't think there were any major problems, and it seemed like a pretty good day/evening/weekend. Sammy was a beautiful bride, she looked just lovely. Oh and I looked awesome, lol, my outfit was really good. I love it when the clothes I make turn out exactly how I wanted, fit well, look good, feel comfortable.. It's so satisfying.
Sunday night I got pretty upset. It was one of those 'really tired, stressed, worn down.. cant cope anymore.. overcome with irrational grief' kind of moments. Paddy was with me, he calmed me down again, and I was fine, he really is my rock. Seems silly to think about, but I blame hormones. Yes, evil things they are.
I'm getting excited about starting my choice costume assignment. It's not actually supposed to happen until next year, but I can't wait to get started. I'm going to be making a gypsy costume.. so if anyone comes across any useful information or websites, let me know!

I'm still sick with this ridiculous cold/cough/mystery virus. I'm no where near as sick as I was, but I keep almost getting better, and then going downhill again.
Tafe goes back this week. Should have had class monday, but my teacher was ill. I have to do subject selection this week for next year. I'm really having difficulty with the issue of choosing a 2 or 3 year course. I don't want to miss out on learning anything.
I'm going round to Caity's for a girls night, raising money for breast-cancer research. Hopefully should be good fun. We didn't get a chance to hang out at all during the holidays, I've been working so much. I'll be glad to see her during class tomorrow.
Brian and Sammy's wedding is on Saturday. I finished sewing Sammy's veil today. I started it yesterday and it was utterly horrible to sew. The fabric was incredibly difficult to hem.
Paddy and I haven't even worked out what we're going to give them as a wedding present.. We haven't even got Pete a birthday present yet! We're so terrible...
I've just downloaded an oldschool Discworld game from abandonia. I love that site, it has some awesome little games.
I'm so tired, I'm going to bed.

I have a new phone, an LG Chocolate. It's very pretty, with touch screen. I know a few people with them, and they've said that they're a pretty decent phone. The scary part is that I'm now on a 2 year plan. I've never been on plan before, so I'm not quite sure how it's all gonna work out. Hopefully I don't suddenly loose my job or anything dramatic like that.
Sammy and Brian's wedding is fast approaching. Sammy has invited me to her Hen's night.. and I think that I will go. I don't actually know her all that well, but it would be a good way to get to know her, I'd like to get on as best I can with Paddy's family. I've made a new skirt to wear to the wedding. Don't ask me about the fiasco with the first skirt I made, Don't Even Aske. Anyway, the new skirt is a tiered little red number, floaty and sparkly. Very pretty, a much younger style than the first, and will look sweet with my mary janes.
Oh, almost forgot! Cheers to all y'all that came to the Pirate Picnic. It was real good fun, I had a great time. We HAVE to do it again, definitely next year.. and possibly other themed events sooner.
I'm gonna go find out if the bluetooth in my computer will talk to my phone.. hehe, I hope they'll be friends.

I just got home from work, so I smell. I am incredibly keen to go have a shower, and I gotta get ready to go out too. Tonight Paddy and I are having dinner at Pete's house with Pete and Clancy. I'm not sure if there will be others there or not. Were going into the city afterward, playing pool, going dancing.. or something along those lines I think. The message didn't really get through very clearly, as it was being relayed to me through Paddy's Mum.
Yesterday after tafe, I went into the mall and bought some oil-burner melts from Dusk. They're a bit strange, as they start solid, then when heated melt into a scented oil, and then firm up again when the candle is out.
I got a pink flavour called 'Harmony' and it smells quite nice. I'm planning to have it lit for half an hour or so each night, so that I can try and relax a bit before I sleep. I've been having trouble sleeping, I have a lot of nightmares. Mostly it isn't a problem, except for when I don't actually get any rest. Some mornings I wake up so damn confused, I'm not sure what's happened and what's been dreamed. Damn blood and butter.
I don't know why it's happening, so I figured that I ought to just try simple things like helping myself to relax more. I don't like the idea of sleeping pills, not when I don't have any difficulty actually getting to sleep. It's only the during sleep that bothers me. I'm hoping that it will help a bit, and even if it doesn't, it's a very pretty smell.
