I just heard the best news of the year. Which when i consider it, isn't that hard considering the year is only two days old and i spent most of yesterday passed out or driving by myself...but still, it warrented screaming and running round the house. So it must be ok. Anyways, its been a strange few weeks. It feels like i've been doing a lot, but when i think about it, i've not really achieved much. Christmas was, as expected, wacky. My family is nuts, but we always knew that right? My uncle, who is in the habbit of giving me bizzaro presents despite the fact he's a multimillionare, once again didn't disappoint. This years present even surpassed the bucket of live worms received two years ago...thats right, it was - A manilla folder (a used one of course). I mean really, what does one say to that? "Oh thankyou, what a lovely shade...this is sure to be just fabulous at uni...oh so useful..." Well i gave it a shot anyway. Then he forgot dinner, only a minor mishap of course. THen we went to phillip island to see neils new kit home situated in the middle of a swamp and something he liked to called an "estate". Here, vrai and andrew got into an argument about unions and knucksie almost killed the next door neighbour. It was, all in all, an interesting day. Oh yeah, i forgot, i also spent the day passing out repeatedly, shaking and visiting the hospital in a catatonic state...minor illness...i'm okish now. *laughs*

New Years was decidedly better. That was spent down in phillip island with lots and lots of people. I went down a day early for the hell of it, to check out the surf and mostly to get out of the house. I slept in my car (not so comfy) over at kitty miller bay which was so beautiful. I awoke with sunlight streaming through the windscreen and the sight of the best surf i've ever seen. Amazing. Then i went for a 5 k walk to pyramid rock and it rained so hard i couldn't even see the damn thing. oh well, it was pretty cool anyway. There was not a soul in sight. Later on in the day zoe and cam rocked up and cam and mark went over to woolami (despite the fact it was low tide - idiots!) and zoe i and drove around to a few of the beaches. It was pouring with rain still but it was ok.
We were staying at the scout hall greg hired which i've got to admit was a damn fine idea. There were millions of people there, mostly musos so they were a bit odd but they were cool too. We had a pretty crazy night which ended up with me and joe on the couch on the verandah playing guitars at 5.30 in the morning. He is seriously the greatest guitarist i've ever seen in person...just incredible. He was particularly excited that, as he put it i'm "a girl...and a guitarist"...thought i'm not sure it wasn't just the girl thing. We jammed until the sun came up and it was sooo much fun. We were both so hammered that we wouldn't have known if we sounded any good but we had a pretty huge audience and they seemed impressed...or maybe they were drunk too. Fell asleep in the hall only to be stood on by simon so i moved to the car where i spent another uncomfortable 45 minutes. i then woke up and drove home feeling particularly seedy. All good.

Seeing dani tomorrow for the first time in over a year. I'm very excited cos i missed her heaps. I know she will have changed a lot, i just hope she hasn't lost that beautiful wide eyed stupidity that made her so adorable. I suppose she will have grown up a whole lot...i guess i'll just have to see. Seeing ursh tomorrow night, she gets back from darwin tomorrow, and i'm seeing shaun too - of course. mmmm. *sigh* anyways where was i? Ah yes the week ahead. Not much planned but work, bit of surfing (got a new mini mal - not mine but close enough), going to the gym (strange unhealthy addition), zoes barbeque and then shes gone for two months, ger barbeque and he's gone for a year....everyone is leaving me!!!

Oh wells, i'm still happy and things are going really well for me in an odd kinda way. Things will work out the way they're meant to be i suppose...
