so yeah anyways... life is pretty good at the moment.

I'm helping out with wardrobe for Chicago at the theatre at the moment, and made one of the lead actresses costumes, will hopefully be making more if I ever catch up with the wardrobe misstress!!

I've started seeing this great guy... he's really sweet, treats me nice and is affectionate and stuff. I'm really really happy. He's into theatre too so we've been to a few shows, one of which was Priscilla in Auckland which was soooooo cool.

I'm heading to Europe in 5 and a half weeks!!! can't wait yay!

at mum's for the night, just came to visit and do some laundry *grin* I don't have a dryer and nothing dries in Hamilton!!

anyways trying to do this occasionally but I'm really slack...

J

well.

working and living in Hamilton
no internet at home makes this updating thing difficult

life is good most of the time

single, healthy, making friends slowly but surely, get to see my old friends and my family relatively often.

my trip to Europe later this year is all go, flights and my tour are all paid for, just spending money to save. I'm getting really excited!

so yeah, hi to everyone!

New Years was excellent, spent filming musicians on the Main Mount Beach... then dancing at random house party till 4.30am then walking on the beach with friends and chilling on bean bags till dawn...

Slept till 12.30pm New Years Day then headed to the Mount to have a look around and then met friends at the beach for the first swim of the new year...

Went to the finals of the Bikini Jam at the pap tav on the 2nd and then home to chill out before meeting friends to go to Supergroove in concert at Brewers! and it was amazing... many silly photos and videos and stuff and lots of dancing and bumping into people and having a blast!

Today I got up earlish *groan* and met Emma at the fabric shop and we went shopping, bought some fun material and a new skirt and had bad sushi for lunch :) but nothing can dampen my spirits *grin*

got home and rang the real estate agent and I have my flat! yay! a little place for me on my own in Hamilton... I move in from Thursday... so heres to the last few days of my holiday!

i have the worst problem with forgetting things I want to do until after the date...


case in point - Supergroove Concert in Auckland on Friday night... I sat around with friends talking about how much we all wanted to go at about 11pm on Friday, got up the next day and googled it and then swore very very loudly!!@#T$IOGEWRUH


not impressed

So this week sucked...

I've been on school hols for the last fortnight and have been working 6 day weeks and stuff so I've been pretty knakered, I also caught a gastro virus last weekend and a cold this one so I've pretty much felt like crap and prolly been grumpy with it... and to top it all off Chris muted the tele on Thursday evening not long after I got home with work and said "Um, um, um... I'm breaking up with you."

So I bawled my eyes out (obviously) and he never once tried to comfort me, never once said that he was sorry, just that he doesn't want to be in a relationship, that he'd been thinking about it for about a week and that was that...

I packed a change of clothes and went to mums and then went back the next day and have moved just about everything that would fit in my car out in three trips. I have to go around again today because we have a flat inspection and I'm giving notice to the landlord. I'll grab another car load of stuff as well and sort out bills and the final lots of rent, cause I still have to pay my 3 weeks notice even though I'm not living there, which sucks but it life I guess. I also have the bills in my name but so is the bond so I'm not too stressed, Chris owes all of his bond to me anyways, but I have Mike's and Chris can owe him instead if it comes down to it.

anyways, I think I just needed to get some of that out... now i just need to go do some stuff...

No. 27 was a magician!

Life has gotten away from me and I can't possible complete a full recount of the past however long it's been by needless to say I'm still alive.

Major Points:

Dad had a heart attack two weeks ago Monday - He was released from hospital this morning after having and angiogram and a stent.
Chris and I are set to move to England, looks like the end of January next year
Upcoming Uno Fashion show on 12th October - prize 2 page spread in Uno magazine
Upcoming End of Year Fashion Show *ARGH*
I got offered holiday work from one of my Work Experience placements
It's Mum's, Chris' and Aunty K's birthdays on the 15th of September. *Triple ARGH*

That's about all I can think of.

Much love

Okay, I went and bought it on my way home from work yesterday (managing to avoid the hordes of children) and then went home expecting to read a couple of chapters before the boys got home from soccer, but they were arses and didn't come home till nearly 1am so with a lack of anything better to do I got drunk and read Harry Potter.... of course this means I now need to re-read most of the first half of the book but it also meant that I finished it about 3pm today (I got it at 4.30pm yesterday and started reading it about 6.30pm and read till 1am and then got up at 1pm today and started reading again)

anyways yes

it's over

and I'm tired

and not spoiling anything for anyone or going on about it for anyone who doesn't give a rats arse *grin*

I haven't updated in a while and things on the whole are good but I need to rant briefly so I can get it out of my system and move on!

DO I LOOK LIKE A TAXI DRIVER!@#N@!H$@O@

and how hard is it to say thank you

and I know you aren't an overtly talky person but the odd compliment would go astry

p.s. I still love his cuddles and his cheeky grin and him basically but grrrrrrr!

rant over

hope everyone is well

so sorry about the lack of updates!!

My life is insane, what with the moving in with the boy... which is fabulous and so much betterthan I thought it would be. I've almost stopped stressing that he's going to turn around and tell me he wants out! He's tidy, cooks well, apologises when he does wrong (like leaving me waiting outside the pub in my PJ's last friday night for 30 minutes!!!!!) and when I get all angsty and stuff he hugs me or does something stupid to make me laugh!

*loves*

I'm on school hols at the mo so naturally I'm spending most of my spare time at tech working on assignments, I swear they only give us holidays so we have time to catch up on tech work. I'm working on my drawing assignment today and have an interview for work experience placement @ 2pm, I've already got one week sorted this is for the other.

We handed in our Pacifica entries on Friday, I haven't seen the photos (except on the screen of the digi camera) but I'm hoping they come out well, will post when I get them! I'm sending mine up to the competition, not hopeful of getting in the finals but you never know.

Anyways better go do some more homework, and have lunch love to you all

Found a possiblity for a flat through someone at work today. About 10mins drive from tech (if that) and about the same for Chris to work so hopefully it looks as good in life as it does in pictures!!! The price is right and so is the location. We'll see. *fingers crossed* we're going for a look through on Monday (hopefully).

well...

Chris asked me to move in with him last night.

And talked about putting off moving to the UK so I can come with him when I'm ready at the end of next year... considering he would like to go about yesterday, this is pretty huge...

moving in together... this needs thought...

EDIT:// hmmmm... there are a few decent flats and looked into the working in UK thing and it looks doable... this is looking feasible...

it was my birfday yesterday...

i did not much

went and had beauty treatment, did some stuff at tech, started making a hat with my new book and went out to dinner with mum and aunty K (yummmmmmmy)

going out tonight with about 20 friends for dinner at good old lone star... then drinks and dancing...
