Last time I updated I was so out of it, haha.  I was over-tired.  I mentioned in my last blog that I had been upset on (correct me if I’m wrong) Wednesday night.  This requires a short-ish story.  If you’d rather just read about my awesome weekend, feel free to skip ahead. It’s not particularly interesting. 

A few years ago I was having a difficult time; I think I was about 14 years old.  I had an image as my desktop background that would make me feel better whenever I saw it (see below).  I knew it was from an anime, but I never knew which one.

Angel Sanctuary: All love lost.

I must have deleted the picture at some point and for years I could never find it again, until on Wednesday night.  I somehow came across it through Google and saved it again.  I even managed to learn which anime it came from; Angel Sanctuary.  It was kind of overwhelming to come across an image I had clung to during some of my darkest hours and the irony of it coming from an anime called “Angel Sanctuary” really struck a nerve with me.  So yeah, I was upset.

If I’m not making sense again, it’s because I’m tired.

Onward!

On Friday Gavin got a promotion which is really exciting for both of us.  The beginning of this year started out crap for me and got progressively worse.  Gavin suffered a break up through the year as well, so for us to have found happiness together as well as the promotion and me going back to university next year, the end of 2009 is really tying itself in a nice, neat, little bow for both of us.

Friday evening was really lovely.  I got all dressed up to go to a work Christmas party with Gavin.  The food was really good and I got to meet the people Gavin was working with before he got promoted, which he was proud to tell his work colleagues about through the night.

I think I’m falling for this guy, pretty sure he’s fallen for me. Squee!

I stayed at Gavin’s place Saturday night so we could get up early in the morning and spend some time with his grandparents and family before heading off to Tweed Heads.  I’m pretty sure his family likes me.

When we got to Tweed Heads Jeff was washing his car so I washed Gavin’s for him because I promised I would while we were in Bundaberg.  I’m the sort of girl who keeps her promises, something I’m quite proud of.

Saturday evening we went to watch the Roller Derby.  If you ever get the opportunity to watch it, go!  I would describe it as boxing in fishnets on roller skates.  I’m sure a lot of guys would be in to that!  I certainly was.  It was a lot of fun to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It’s definitely something I would watch on a regular basis and maybe even try out myself, just for the hell of it.

When we got back to Jeff’s after the Roller Derby we had a few drinks and then decided to go on a midnight run to McDonalds for ‘breakfast’.  Oh how I love having friends who are insane and spontaneous like I am!

So today, Sunday, Gavin and I wanted to go to the beach at Tweed because we didn’t have the opportunity to last time.  I took some photos of the same beach last time because I was so impressed with how beautifully clear and blue the water was.  It’s even better to swim in, even when it’s freezing cold.  I could have spent hours in there, although it’s probably lucky I didn’t because the water was freezing and I’ve had a throat infection for the past few days.  Lucky the breeze was warm or we would never have made it out of there alive, haha.

Jeff’s girlfriend, Amy, gave me a formal dress she bought years ago for cheap that has always been a little bit too small for her.  It’s black, silky and absolutely stunning; an elegant dress by all means.  I took some photos of me wearing it tonight, although I couldn’t get the back done up by myself and I could only take the photos in a dodgy little mirror in my kitchen/laundry.  You can sort of see what it looks like though.

I’m getting more tired.  Gavin left his work USB here so he’s going to come over and wake me up early in the morning.  It’ll be the first time I see him in his work uniform and I probably won’t even get out of bed.

I ate off cheese today. My stomach isn’t happy with me.

Check it out, I was just playing Minesweeper with my good friend Chris, also known as Darkr, and I fluked 6 shots (The ones circled in red).  How crazy is that?  I then won the match with one final fluke shot, which was where the red X is.

Fluke shots!

Sleeeeeeeeeep.
