I have been here and then there and have come back again. I am altered and the same and somewhere up there. It seems as though nothing much has happened by I'm changing everything by degrees and I do mean everything, well, most things.
I'd had enough, you see, and I'd run out of energy. I'm not sure I have any more energy but I have had rest and a week to let my irritations fester. They are that nasty mess in the corner over there; soon I shall clear them up and throw them out. I may even beat them with a piñata stick. All the little things are being organised and switched over. The big things are being prodded and poked and yelled at by my internal drill sergeant. My dad was in the army, my drill sergeant knows his stuff and pronounces lieutenant correctly, well, Australian army correctly anyway.
Things I have done lately, in no particular order: cut and coloured my hair - I really am a brunette now, flown and wondered how, beaten an alien piñata, worn a tiara for five minutes and removed it because it pained me, raged at the pointlessness of life and the utter cruelty of a random universe, created a purpose as I have been lacking one, made plans for myself - you can come along if you like but don't try to stop me, written down what I want, filed everything, not broken down when confronted with a tax bill I cannot pay, seen a psychic - I only see psychics when someone else pays, thought, messed up my formerly clean house without caring all that much, carried a 13kg microwave from store to bus stop and bus stop to house, bought and bought and bought and mostly not with my own money, created a budget - necessary when on peasant pay, focussed far too much on money, been so organised that I made everyone nervous, and any number of other strange little things that I can't quite recall.
I still need to change my phone plan and sort out new broadband because, well, why not? I also have to decide if I want a Wii because one is offered and I am tempted. Apparently I rather lke toys.
It's been a funny month and I have been very funny indeed.

hah, good to hear from you. You really ought to get mircowaves and such delivered you know... or get one from that dodgy place opposite the Enmore post office. Do they still have that?
I was being cheap and difficult and silly. Very cheap, as it happens, it was the only brand new microwave I could find for under $100.
That place is still there but, oh, how much else has changed. The next time you're in town you'll just die. The old brewery(?I think that's what it was) at Broadway has been or is being pulled down. I's so weird to see empty space where enormous buildings used to be. And Sydney uni has changed so much that it weirds me out. Some of the new buildings are so hideous I could cry.
Take the wii. I hear they are pretty sweet.
So was seeing a psychic fun? I've always wanted to get my palm read myself.
Vodafone caps are awesome. Now that I am on a cap with them, I refuse to ever go back to Telstra.
Colonel, I have. It's sitting here waiting to be opened (total ban until Christmas, ugh).
The psychic was okay. This one was a bit of a nutjob though - even given her profession.
Mish, it's Vodafone I'm fleeing from! I've never used Telstra or Optus - total distrust.
Please. please don't go to Telstra. So useless and frustrating and... by god they just suck balls.
So, happy customer then? I've gone with Virgin. I hope they don't suck - free calls & texts to family though so...yay.
Sad! Hopefully there are still a few parts of USyd where you can convince yourself that you're at Hogwarts :|
