Fantastic Friday
Oh what a busy and fun few weeks it has been. I haven't really had time, or effort, especially with these hot days and nights.
The Thursday before last was Speech Night and the final day of the year. A lot of the technical services were done by an outside AV business so you could say it went crap in a way. Afterwards I offered my assistance to help pack up, which I somewhat regret. I should have said in response to the "Definately, we need a lot of help", "Too bad, because I'm not going since I got kicked out" and then went home. Should have left them suffer/be annoyed.
And so the nice lengthy holidays begin.
Last week and this week, and probably the weeks to come, have been mostly spent working. 4 weekdays and half of Saturday working at Jaycar and 2 days and the other half days at Discovery. Lots of money for me :D
Recent happy news includes Mike leaving Discovery and being replaced with Phil and Gary, yay!
On Wednesday I got an early Christmas present from my parents. I'm now the proud owner of a Pentax *ist DL digital SLR camera, worth over $1000. *dances* I've been wanting a new camera for a while now, especially since my 3 year old cheapish Olympus point-and-shoot camera started dying. Digital SLRs are awesome cameras, some of my favourite first photos with it include this, this and this. I think I might be getting back into photography again...
Last Friday was work's Christmas party at he boss's place. It was a great night though I er lost count after 7 UDLs, blew 0.04 and woke up in my new king single bed which no one told me about. And to top it off I had work at 8:30am the next morning.
The list of parties continues - I was a friend's birthday/annual pool party on the Saturday after Speech Night, also great fun.
I also had a fantastic night today, I went to the cinemas with a great friend to see the latest Harry Potter movie (a great movie I might add, I didn't need to remember much from the books to work out what was happening either *cough*) and to exchange Christmas presents. It was a shame that another good friend couldn't make it because they were really sick...
On the topic of presents, this has probably been the first year I have given presents to some of my (best/favourite/greatest?) friends. I spent a notable amount of money on them too.
So there we have it, the last few weeks.
Christmas is only 1 day away and only 8 days until the last day of the year with a whole new one beginning afterwards. I'm yet to decide on what I'm going to do on New Year Eve, I can only hope in will be just as fun as last year (note to Gus: Ciggie lighters :P).
Have a great Christmas and look after yourselves.

Oooh! Pressies! For me? :D
I still can't see why you decided to help out with packing up speech night. Or why I wasn't invited to the movies :p

You'd think, that because you're online most of the day, that you could at least post... And I AM sorry if Voldemort looks like a Drazi... its just the way things go. You're more of a Brakiri. If you can't remember what happens, even with my sherbet and I teasing you, you do really have a bad memory.
