First day of 2009!

Heya guys.
It is 11.30 on Thursday. I've just gotten back from my friend's house, after having a very good New Years.
It started yesterday, work finished early and I was able to get home, pick up some essentials and boogie on down to Rushcutter's Bay. But it was maaad.
The train was packed. Imagine a tin of sardines, but these sardines have shopping, and are all trying to move around inside this tin. Madness I tells ya.
Managed to get to the Bay no trouble, picking up a 6pack of Kingfisher beer. Couldn't find Tiger, so got that. And then picked up a new wick for my Zippo. And THEN boogied to the bay.
It was full of people. Festival sight, it was crazy. And met my friends, hugged a lot and had a good time. The fireworks were great, I didn't get too drunk and it was all good. The way back to my friend's house wasn't, taxi drivers were A holes and buses weren't on time, but we managed to get back without too much trouble.
And today, we've all just taken it easy. No hassle, no fuss. Working tomorrow, so couldn't stay too late. Plus I feel ill. But when I got home, I find a new bankcard waiting to be put in my wallet, so that was a very pleasant surprise.
I hope everyone had a good time, and the New Year is a good one. Stick to resolutions, mine will start in a few days, when I can start it. (Less crap food. He says, eating from a pack of biscuits.)
Alright my pretties, speak soon, I actually tried taking pics last night so you might see them.
All the best people.

Warro people, tonight is Sunday, it's 4.30 in the morning. I've just been at the old hostel in King's Cross, with Marta, Lucy and Cat as it's their leaving night. Cat is leaving tomorrow, while the two others are leaving on Monday. I say I was with them, but about 15 other people were there too. Old hostel mates, good people all of them. Had a good night for most of it. Still not a happy drunk, but I'm trying to limit the amount of drink I take in at the moment. Can't have every time being a bad one, eh. I returned to Southern Comfort tonight, she is an old friend. We always get on well together, and most of the time we invite ice around and have a jolly good old time. Haven't found an Ozzy beer I get along well with yet, they all taste like piss and we don't end up getting along. Good thing Southern Comfort will always be there for me.

I still have the same job, they haven't kicked me out quite yet. But the amount of work is reduced to a dammed river, the pathetic little stream coming out the other side being the amount of work I now have while the potential tidal wave being how much I used to get. So I can't see me working there much longer. And even worse, I've noticed my account balance dwindling because of it! It was $3000 before, and now it's under. Not significantly, but enough to cause worry to settle in. Tonight a friend brought up the idea of fruit picking. Before now, I hadn't even thought about staying, the idea had always been shunned, because I knew I was coming back to Uni. But now, I'm not as keen as I was to return. Uni can be put off a year, and while I'm already out here, it would be a shame to cut off a chance to see what I can. I don't know, a plan needs a lot of time, but let's just say I'm not as sure I want to come straight home. There are places I would like to go, and I have potential time in which to go there. I will think about it. But travelling is an option previously unthought of, and I will think about my options. I just don't want to come home, wishing I could have seen and done more. Let's just say that. Ok people, I will now watch the rest of a film I started earlier, eat a mango or two (they're amazing) and have a good night's rest. I woke up at 5.45 in the afternoon today, impressive huh? Wasn't even planned! I kept waking up in the middle of dreams, really good dreams in which I was with friends from home, going somewhere but I always woke up before we agreed on a destination. I might try and end the dream tonight, see where we all go. Speak soon friends. Stay funky.
