SUZIE WORE DRESSES TIGHT!!

Photobucket

this photo makes me smile.

today has been interesting.
went to riverstink - did some birthday shopping for a friend, mother and a boy. Boy's are incredibly hard to buy for (especially when they randomly buy you coco chanel perfume)
anyway ended up with allright gifts..hopefully.
so the real excitement of the day came around on the train ride home. I sat down (next to a complete psycho apparently) and this man boy continued to stare at me for a good 40 minutes. He also asked me where I was going, I said home (didn't want so say which station) he replied Me too. So it was only weird up until he took a photo of me. Then I freaked out, text a friend - who saved me with her wise words. I pretended to get off the train, but changed carriages instead and got off the next station. Phewf. Alive. Safe - freaked out.
ANYWAY enough of my consuming horror stories.
Work work work = Money money money. so it's good - sort of. I'm working at two different Video Ezy stores, and the new store I'm working at has more gay guys than straight (bummer I know, the only single straight guy is 15...) and the girls are pretty cool too.

Very Excited. Got a few boring weeks coming up - but after those lots of exciting ones!! (hopefully)
4th Feb - going for licence, Jack & Amy get back from asia, Jack has her place to herself - party time.
5th Feb - the boy (mentioned above) is coming to visit for the weekend. I'm too excited.
And with my licence - I'll never be bored again....well that's the plan anyway.

peace peace and lots of love.

(photo: one I took on the walk to the beach)

Just handed my Learners logbook in and booked my licence test. Beyond excited/nervous.

licence = FREEDOM

(that is if the parents let me use one of their cars, as there is no way that I can go to EUROPE and buy a car)

This morning I woke up with no plans but to partake in my driving lesson and then laze around, at some point exhert my will power and go on the cross trainer.

Ended up jumping on a train and going to Pottsville. (a small northern NSW town that has a beautiful beach and where my parents just bought a unit 100m away from the beach) P-ville as I've renamed it is my new haven.

I plan on reading, swimming, researching Europia trip, swimming some more, listening to the Ipod (named Kevin - after a character from Up!), reading some more and swimming.


So wish me peace on my three days at P-ville.

Love and peeaaace.

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.


I love UP!
I have had a series of swell days recently.
07.01.10
Started off the morning by spending a solid half hour checking out the elite of Ipswich while waiting for Jackie.
Continued on to Riverlink where we snagged some awesome bargains at cotton on - cool comfy travelling pants and cool casual business shirt - that's not for business...?
Then left the shops to walk to t he train station. We, of course, had to stop at the swings.
We swung our hearts for a good hour, we dared the clouds - or whatever controls them - to stop us mid swing. WE dared the universe to stop us.
The universe is chicken.
We spoke about popularity, boys, sex, people, life - it was a good day. There should be more days like this one.

On another note:

NY resolutions/TO DO LIST. Going well.
SO far every day this week gone on the cross trainer. Yay for will power and exercise.
Travelling plans coming along - the plan..there isn't one, and it excites me to no end.

love peace & love

Ain't nothin gonna break my stride - I gotta keep on moving.


first photo: B&J nye.
second photo: last night of Gap Year setting road blocks up around a RAAF base. Girls vs Boys.
Ahhh. Happy New Years, Merry Christmas...all that jazz.

Back home - since Dec 12 09. So it's been a while, since I've "blogged" and since I've been home.It's been good, really good. I feel content and as much as I miss my gappies - I've been having a lot of fun.
To do List:
(not New Years resolutions, they're never stuck to)

  • Get Exercised (preferably before Feb)
  • Get my licence
  • Stay Happy
  • Discover my inner will power AND USE IT!
  • Save MOOLAH!
  • Travel the shit out of Europe

So in order to get this thing I call my blog - I have to delve into the past and write stuff - so that future posts make sense.


2009 - ADFGY-AF
I spent a year in the Royal Australian Air Force as part of their Gap Year scheme.
It was a year of the highest highs and lowest lows. I've never experienced or heard of what I went through.
Learnt to fire an F88 steyr, got steyr eye, leopard crawled, bruises everywhere, camouflage paint everywhere, met some amazing people that will be friends for life.

We were put through situations so intense and stressful, we were basically brainwashed into thinking that our ironing, sewing, marching, determination was our life - there was nothing else. So the people around me became my family, no matter how long we spend apart we will be able to slip back to "how it was". I miss them terribly.

All in all. Fantastic year.

What does 2010 hold for me?
Backpacking through Europe with one of my best friends, since 12 years old. We're booking a flight to London and that's pretty much it. Go from there. I am beyond excited.

Random Info:
I love the Dixie Chicks.

love love love and peace xx
