Your entire life can change in a split second.  It’s incredible to stand and watch as one of these potentially life-changing moments passes you by in clear view before you even realise the true scale of what just occurred.

The other night I dreamt about one of the life-threatening situations from my childhood in full detail.  It wasn’t like my usual nightmares; I’d say it was more like reliving a traumatic memory.  I find the two affect me differently.  Nightmares freak me out while reliving memories makes me think, “Oh, yes, I remember that.”  Coincidentally, the day after the dream I was in another life-threatening situation (if that’s what you want to call it, anyway).  It’s not as exciting as it sounds, but interesting-ish nonetheless.

Someone ran a red light and nearly t-boned the passenger side of my car doing 60 – 70km/hr, maybe more.  I had 3 friends in the car and they all saw it, he only missed us by a metre or two.  We were mid-conversation when we all realised what had happened, and how close we came to being in a very serious and potentially deadly car accident.  At first we laughed and then I was in absolute shock as I realised just how important my job is as the driver of the vehicle.  Driving responsibly is important, but it’s far more important to be able to make split second decisions and react when someone else does something stupid.

Speaking of split-second decisions, I got a puppy last week on the same day that I had to see my ex-ex-boyfriend.  It was like being stabbed with delicious candy.  It’s sweetly satisfying coupled with a dull kind of stinging, also slightly humorous and exceedingly amusing (does this make any sense whatsoever?).   I had to drop stuff off to my ex, so after a civilised conversation on MSN I decided to stop at his house on the way to pick up my new puppy.

When I arrived at his house, my ex was in his bedroom playing games with his roommate (whose computer was near to where I was standing).  The roommate went into to my exes’ bedroom to let him know I had arrived and, little did either of them know, my exes’ microphone was on and I could hear everything my ex said through his roommates’ computer.  It was something along the lines of, “Oh….. Crap.”  I don’t think they understood why I was laughing when they emerged.  Anyway, as I handed his stuff to him I noticed he was wearing a tight singlet and he proceeded to flex his muscles and deepen his voice to the point where I was finding it nearly impossible not to collapse on the floor in hysterical laughter.  There are a few ways in which I could describe it but they’re not exactly nice (“Bulbous toothpick” comes to mind) and we all know how mature I am….. Hahahahaha.

I then went to pick up my puppy feeling highly amused and much less like I had just been stabbed.  Her name is Gracie; she’s a 3-month-old, pure-bred Chihuahua and is already bigger than my 13-year-old Marsypan.  They don’t get along a lot of the time because Gracie is young and playful and Mars is old and cranky, but it seems like they’re gradually getting used to each other.  There is much training to be done!

I have been working a lot and I have a cursed cold.  I’m very tired so it’s definitely time for me to crash.

I have the most bizarre story for you.

A few weeks ago I went to my sister’s house and my Dad called me to tell me neither of my pet mice were moving.  I thought it was odd, I knew one of them was getting old and sick but the other seemed okay when I saw them earlier.  He asked if I’d like him to put them in the backyard, I said yes and thank you.  Anyway, recently I’ve caught glimpses of a mouse running around my house. I assumed it was feral and was going to set a mouse trap, until I noticed he was bigger than the average-sized feral mouse and orange rather than black; like the mouse I thought was healthy.  He was so skinny, I didn’t even recognise him.  I realised he was indeed my mouse when I was crouched next to the fridge and he came up to me, followed me around and then waddled over to his old cage when he saw it.  It was really quite sweet.  Unfortunately he doesn’t look to be in the best health and one of his legs is injured, but I’ll keep an eye on him and call the vet if he doesn’t improve soon.

Strange, hey?  My dad said he put them both up the very back of the backyard.  He was shocked to see one of them back.  A part of me wonders if he just wanted to get rid of them while I was gone for a few days, because my parents have never liked me having pet mice.  I’m not going to let it bother me though.  I’m just glad he’s back, and I hope I can nurse him back to health.

So yesterday my cleaning plans were interrupted once again, by my rescue mission.  I did manage to get some things done though.

In the afternoon Gavin came around with his computer so he could cheer me up by playing Team Fortress 2 with me into the night.  I needed cheering up because I had had a nightmare the night before.  His computer is still behind me; it’s my hostage.  The ransom is $200,000,000, although I haven’t actually told him that yet. Probably a good idea to, so he knows how much he has to pay off… bwahahaha!

We then stayed up until midnight to buy tickets to Big Day Out, which is in January.  Alex bought tickets for Lynnette, himself and me and Gavin bought himself a ticket.  I’m so excited about it!  I know heaps of people who are going.  I get the impression that my ex, Liam will be there.  As long as I don’t see him I don’t particularly care though.  By then I don’t think even seeing him will bother me too much.

Today I got up and went to my sisters to babysit but she wasn’t there; she had driven to my house because my niece was sick.  Haha.  It was an amusing situation.  She felt really bad about the whole thing, she had called me but I was driving so I didn’t answer.  I was glad to have a nice morning drive anyway, listening to Breaking Benjamin.  It ended up working out better anyway because when I got home I realised I really didn’t feel very well.

Alex came over in the afternoon to pick up my share of the Big Day Out money, I saw Eevari as well for a while.  I had quite a nice day.  The only problem was that because I wasn’t feeling really well I just wanted to curl up on the couch and watch a movie for the day.  I ended up having to go out and do things, I was just so tired.  Ah well, these things happen. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be feeling better.

Monique still isn’t talking to me; I sent her a message asking if she’d like to do something this weekend and she sent a rather cruel one back.  I know people will be wondering why she isn’t talking to me, I can’t tell you though because I don’t actually know.  I’m happy to continue to wait until she’s ready to talk to me again though.

I also sent Nicki a text asking if he’d like to do something tomorrow but he replied with “No.”  I think he’s angry at me for something too.  I have to wait for him to be ready to talk to me as well.  I miss them both; Monique and Nicki that is.  I want to be a good, loyal friend to them both but sometimes it really is difficult.

Why do I keep pissing people off without knowing why!?  Sometimes I wonder if it’s me; I don’t think it is though, in all honesty.

Drama, drama, drama.

Oh, my neighbours had a baby boy at approximately 3:00 this morning, so congratulations to them!

Apparently my eyes are piercing. Pierce, pierce, pierce!

Gavin has told me he doesn’t want to see any 4am posts so I think I’ll be a good girl and get an earlier night tonight.

Today I did nothing.

I woke up feeling sick, I thought I caught a virus but all the food I ate today seems to have gone down okay.

I watched some Trigun with Liam.

I also made some new friends from Pants Party and played some Team Fortress 2 tonight – I got some more achievements, yay!

I do have a rant that’s squirming to get out of me, so I will post that as well.

I think when I finish writing my rant I need to have a nice, long shower.
