Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Early New Year

Christmas was pretty quiet, we had horrible weather at the Island, but wonderful company, great food and some lovely gifts as well. We relaxed and spent the days playing Killer Bunnies which I bought Ash for Christmas and eating, eating, eating.

My brother gifted me with a $50 Myer voucher just prior to Christmas so I bought the first 4 Harry Potter books, and have finished them already. I bought the next 2 yesterday, with work’s voucher, but I haven’t started them yet. I am currently re-reading The Narnia Chronicles prior to probably seeing the movie this weekend (I bought the complete “all in one book” set for Ash for his birthday). In honour of my finally reading Harry Potter… this was pretty easy for me to predict :)


You scored as Ravenclaw. You have been sorted into Ravenclaw- you value intelligence, and love the chance to use your cleverness (and maybe even show it off- just a little). You’re keen and incisive, and you just love a challenging problem to solve.

My mum loved her calendar and address book, my brother loved his mousepad with titties, and we all LOVED LOVED LOVED Killer Bunnies! It was so nice to relax without stress, without TV, without computers…

For NYE we are going to see .hinge at Switch, I am not looking forward to hordes of drunk teenagers, but I felt like doing something and mum has rented the Island house out for a week, so that was out, and in all honesty after last year, I don’t think I could spent NYE there again anytime soon. So hopefully it will be a good night out. It is not something we do much of anymore, so I am semi-looking forward to it.

Ash and I both miss our friends, neither of us see anyone anymore. His friends are 4.5 hour drive away and mine are mostly overseas, and most of them aren’t coming back so far… Anne and her hubby will be back for 2 weeks in Feb, but then they are leaving again. Lana will just never come home I don’t think. Rose won’t be back for another year or so. 3 of bro’s friends are O/S now too, but he has made loads of new friends recently, so he is out partying up a storm, I am so glad he gets off the computer these days! He chuffed off to Carrum for a spontaneous party last night, Ash and I drove him to the city to catch a train out. Maybe I should start trying to meet people online again? I don’t know. I just know I need to find someone I can hang out with occasionally… I miss having friends.

Kitty and I will never be the same friends again as we used to be, she hurt me too much to really trust her again the way I used to. We still chat sometimes, and she came to visit a while back, but it’s not the same. Jess, Shae and Na are all moving in different circles to each other now, let alone to the ones we do, but I still see them occasionally which is nice. May and I are not really friends, we never were, we have mutual friends and we send Christmas cards…

Kath is in Brisbane, I think we would be great friends if we didn’t live 000′s of kilometres apart, but we do :) I would still love to live in Brisbane one day though…

This is not a complaint, just noticing my life is moving on and I need to work out a way to change some things. Moving out to the middle of nowhere probably wasn’t a good place to start in hindsight, but we love our house.

Oh year and month 1 is a strike out :) I knew it would be!

  1. funny that, just this avo on our walk around the block ren and i were wondering aloud where all our friends had gone to. some are married, some are overseas, some are just *away* at this time of year and it makes it dang hard to organise anything to do with new years eve as it usually just ends up being the 2 of us. could be worse, i suppose, i could have nobody at all. thank God for best friends!

    glad your christmas was great, eating seems to be a common theme as i ate humungous amounts too. wish us all the best with our nye plannings, at this point in time we’re possibly even staying in and having a 2 person lord of the rings slumber party :-P

  2. Dude like 2 days ago I put in a bunch of me pictures. lol

    I’ll throw you the URL’s to the pictures. The one of the red wall is just the one wall in the kitchen painted. Now all the walls are but it’s a bitch to get a pic of it.

    So those are the pics.

    I think me and you and who ever else has been here forever should get like senior member things for our diaries. lol

  3. I know a couple people here that have bounced around with their user name a few times and then I lost track of them all together. I read odd diaries but no one is really updating lately. I hardly ever have anything really relevant to say in here but I still want some place to come bitch at the end of the day about bad blow jobs and what not. lol

    Man now I’m going to have to see if I can remember the login to my old diary to see when I appeared here.

  4. Hello there, and Merry Christmas from my home to yours!

    I checked out the link to Killer Bunnies. It sounds fascinating and quite exciting for a card game.

    You received a good number of great gifts there. More books, hurray! No wonder you are a Ravenclaw.

    I am sorry you and Ash don’t gt to see as much of your friends as you would like to. As for friends who have betrayed and hurt you, you don’t need friendships like those. Don’t compromise on your values for the sake of saving friendships that are unworthy of keeping.

    I hope you have a great New Year’s Eve celebration.

    Happy New Year!

    Love,

    E.L.
