Blu Tack + U Tack = Gru Tack!

I know, I know. It has been quite some time since last I wrote. Much has been happening see, everything has changed over the last two months. I'm now living in the country, sans internet, having many adventures. I decided to move back so suddenly I shocked myself. The whole moving ordeal has been stressful and exhausting to say the least, but entirely worth it. I'll still come up to the city as much as possible cos I miss my friends and live music dearly. It's wonderful here though, so peaceful. I wake up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping and eat dinner watching the sunset over the paddocks from the window.

Our first night in the house we discovered a bat that lived behind Mum's built ins. It flew through the house scaring the bejesus out of Mum while me and Shar got excited and named it Errol. We chased Errol into the loungeroom, opened the front door and tried to coax him out. Shar picked up a feather duster to play like a guitar whilst singing "Ohhhh Errol. I would give anything, just to be like him...". Soon enough Errol flew away. I hope he comes to visit sometime, I quite liked Errol...

In the meantime we've found an abundance of spiders. For those of you who are aware of my track record with spiders, you'll know how this can prove to be a problem. I'm not scared of spiders, not that much anyway. I'll squeal and be wary but not petrified. I've had 3 white tails and 1 red back bite me over the years and lived to tell the tale. Got the scars to prove it too. The advantage being that no hair grows at those scars on my legs now.... hmmm by the time I'm finished with this house I may never need to shave again.

Come across plenty of other critters too. Wore a cute little bearded dragon called Tinks on my top like a brooch while I had a cuppa the other morning, I'll have to upload the picture sometime.

We stayed at Shars last night and this morning did the rounds of feeding all the animals. When we got to the canary cage we discover a snake in there. 15 canaries had already become 11. Shars mate came around to kill it. We're not sure if it was a tiger snake or a copperhead. At least we can refer to it in the past tense now. Twas a bit scary. I touched it once it was dead, it feels so much like a frog!

What else has been going on? Well I beat Moose in mini-golf last time I was up (so so very proud!) I had my toenail finally removed after 6 months of pain thank christ. Oh and I've also become the publicity and advertising director of a company.

Phew.

Well that must be all for now.

Ta Ta!

la di da di da

So turns out my stomach is raw and bleeding and thats why I was coughing up blood and in an immense amount of pain, I am now taking tablets and staying away from acidic food and spirits for two weeks to try and let it heal. So far I'm not doing too bad. Getting really pissed off cos it seams like all my frogurtin money is goin to medicine. Not that I have much money to begin with. So yeah, things are pretty tight at the moment. My doctor told me the anti-depressants I'm taking could give me bad dreams... she was certainly right! I've had dreams about serial killers and others about all the people I love dying horrible deaths and I had to watch. It was strange though cos in the dreams I had no emotional reactions to what was going on, I was just numb. Then when I wake up I'm confused and upset... That's another thing, I'm waking up ALL the time at the moment, I haven't had a decent nights sleep for quite a while. Doc said she could give me sleeping tablets to try and get into a good sleeping pattern but I'd like to keep the chemical intake to a minimum considering the amount of shit I'm already taking. Aargh. Oh to be healthy. At least the ban on spirits means I can only drink beer and wine at the parties I'm attending which is probably a good thing cos I wont get completely trashed. And seeing I'm not going to the after party for Cabaret I will be less inclined to do so.

Last night was the first night of the cabaret and it went surprisingly well, considering monday night was a great tech run for a dress rehearsal. Should turn out to be quite a good show!

cr0n!

Modern, Cool Nerd
65 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 47% Dork
For The Record:



A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.



You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.



Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used
to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a
pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world
that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and
geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very
least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent,
knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing
computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one
you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one
up there, winning the million bucks)!



Congratulations!
