Posts Tagged ‘Shopping’

I feel quite lost for words at the moment and my thoughts are very scattered, so don’t expect me to make a whole lot of sense.

The past week has mostly involved games, shopping, get-togethers, job hunting and soul discovering.

Over the past few weeks I have acquired quite a few new games, thanks to the epic Steam Christmas sales.  Also thanks to Gavin for buying me some of my new games <3.  My spare time has been spent getting to know them better (especially Unreal Tournament); however ‘spare time’ has been a rare luxury.

Mind you, I love spending time with my friends and I will continue to do so as much as possible before Emma goes back home to New Zealand.  Some days we spend just shopping or hanging out at home together, and other days we’ll invite everyone to come together and talk, swim, play games and drink together.

Our most common topic of conversation would have to be Monique and how much she is missing out on simply by avoiding me (which as you know, is not my fault).  It’s just a combination of irritating people and a series of unfortunate events.

I spent today sulking and whinging about being sore from head to toe.  Last night I went into the city with a few friends for a ladies night on the town.  It was my first time clubbing and my god, it was incredible.  I don’t exactly remember the details of how we got to the club, but I remember once we got there I had the time of my life.  We danced for hours and then ate the most amazing tasting sausage rolls.  Oh yes, it was a night I will not forget.

The whole job hunting thing is stressing me out.  I’ve decided to defer university but I just feel like I’m wasting time.  At the same time, I don’t know if I’ll go back or drop out completely.  I don’t want it to look like I’ve given up because it was too hard, because that’s not the case at all.  I feel really bad for always bringing the topic up with my friends, because they either don’t know what to say or just tell me the same thing.  I’m looking for the answer but I need to find it in myself.

If I defer I have another 6 – 12 months to decide whether or not to go back into psychology or do something else, anyway.  I guess that is a big benefit.

I’ve had a (so far) mild case of insomnia again.  I think it started because I began to have nightmares again after New Year’s Eve.  They would have been triggered by a combination of things, including a really loud bang I heard while sitting in the backyard that frightened me.

Beware, I’m going to talk about “women’s things” to finish off – yes, Don, this warning is for you.

I find it interesting that all my friends monthly cycles synchronised to mine.  I find it even more interesting that all the men we’ve been spending a lot of time with have become very ‘pissy’.  One has even said to me that he has been very moody and he doesn’t understand why.  I told him he has PMS, which went down surprisingly well.  It seems there is evidence to support that women’s bodies synchronise, but I’m wondering it’s possible for men to ‘synchronise’ too… if you know what I mean?

Anyway, I should really try and sleep. Wish me luck!

On Tuesday I got up at 7:30am.  Yes, that’s right, BEFORE 8:00am.  I caught up with my sister and babysat my beautiful niece from 8:30am until 12:00pm.  I then went on a bit of an adventure by myself, going here and there to pick up the bits and pieces I needed to teach my other niece, Tasman, piano.  Her lesson began at 3:30pm and went really well; she’s such a clever little girl!  I was so proud to watch her learn the things I remember learning.

Wednesday wasn’t exciting.  It took me about 3 hours to actually remember what I did, which turned out to be eating ice-cream and playing Left 4 Dead with Gavin, geek style.

Thursday I mostly did the housework.   In the evening I met Gavin and his friends at the shops.  It was so bizarre.   All of us saw our ex’s so we ended up sharing amusing stories about the past and plotting against them together.  It was hilarious and really made the whole experience a lot easier to deal with.  After shopping Gavin and I went back to his place to watch Watchmen.  I ended up falling asleep on his comfy, queen-sized bed so I just stayed the night.  Lucky he only lives a minute down the road.

It was really nice to wake up next to someone this morning.  I got up in a good mood and went down to Dad’s work for the day to clean my car and help him polish his FX Holden, which will be on display for a volunteers lunch tomorrow.  Gavin took me out for delicious fetuccini carbonara, so I got pizza for dinner tonight to nom on while we played games and watched the DaVinci Code.

Ahh Starcraft, romance, romance.

Gavin turned to me the other day and said, “You know, there’s just something about watching you slaughter aliens…” Oh how it made me laugh.

I’m motivated.  I’m going to get a job, buy my new computer case, buy new clothes, new shoes and get my hair cut.  I bought Killing Floor today.  I’m even sort of looking forward to going back to university and getting my degree over and done with.

I want to go to Paris!

Time for a cup of tea.

Today was an interesting day and although it’s late I thought I would do a quick update, because the next week or so is going to be hell busy and I know I won’t get much time to update my blog.

Nicki called me this morning and asked if I’d like to meet him in the city to go shopping and whatnot.  I haven’t seen him in ages and was really excited that we’d finally get to spend some time together.  It turned out to be easier for me to pick him up from a train station and go to a shopping centre rather than the city, which is where the adventure began.

For starters, I ignored the GPS’ instructions and pulled up at the wrong train station.  I called Nicki asking where he was when I looked at the sign and learnt lesson number one; always trust the GPS.  So I picked him up and we headed to the shopping centre.

We had lunch and walked around to different shops, stopping at a book store.  We looked around in there for ages (it was REALLY big) when I came across the Psychology section, but strangely enough, it was broken in half with the sex section stuck right in between the two halves of the Psychology section. Lesson two; bookshops don’t make sense.  It was bizarre.  Nicki and I looked through those books for a while, laughing at this or that.

We continued to walk around the shops for a while, when I remembered I had forgotten to take my parents GPS down off the windscreen.  Our conversation was as follows.

Jayne:  “Oh! I left my parents GPS on the dash.  Lucky the car is locked, haha.”
Nicki:  “…”
Jayne:  “You did lock your door didn’t you?”
Nicki:  “…”
Jayne:  “Oh my God!”
Nicki:  “Lets run to the car!”

So we start heading for the car, then Nicki remembers he left his laptop in my car, too.  We rushed to the car to see everything was safely where we had left it, including the unlocked passenger door.  Lesson three; always check that Nicki has locked his door.  Haha!

So we finished our shopping adventure and headed back to my place.  Gavin arrived soon after with a bag containing his newly bought Logitech G15.  For those of you who don’t know it was the number one gaming keyboard you could get, until it was bested by the Logitech G19 (as far as I know, anyway).  Again, conversation was as follows.

I look up from my monitor and see the bag, then return my attention to my computer.
Jayne:  “Ah, you got your precious G15.  Where is my Razer!?”
Gavin puts his arms around me and places a Razer Lycosa on the desk in front of me.
Gavin:  “Right here, my darling.”
Jayne:  “YOU DIDN’T!”
Gavin:  “I did.”

Yep, he bought me a Razer Lycosa.  Oh it’s just so beautiful.  I could lick it.  Pictures below.

THANK YOU GAVIN! <3

Now I really must sleep.
