I am still alive.

I am 2 hours (or so) into Xenogears. I can just sense the beloved peasant village vibes coming off Lahan. *grin*

I have 3 days left of full time work, if God is kind to me.

I... basically got nothing for my birthday. I got some cards, and some money, and some more money. My sister gave me a very pretty photo frame with a picture of me and Chas and her and Olly in it, and my other sister gave me an "IOU present" thingy, and I already had my bow, which was an early birthday present. And chocolate. I got some chocolate, half of which I can't actually eat. *shrugs* Was an average birthday, as they go. At least it was a public holiday. ^_^

Pirates of the Caribbean count: 4

I am /so/ sad.

Have been reading PotC fanfiction. So need to see that movie again.

So. Tired. Vel *thunk*. My weekend:
Saturday morning: Archery. Adjust sight settings etc for afternoon.
Saturday afternoon: some sort of Club championship thing going on.
Sunday morning: karate class
Sunday afternoon: Shihan classes
And there goes all my free time. *sigh*

Although, I'm really excited about the chance to train with Shihan, because he doesn't come over this way often. I mean, the second in command of our entire club! He's slightly shorter than me, Italian (his name is Stacey Karetsian) and bounced like the damn Energizer bunny, I mean, he never seems to get tired. He's /awesome/. And we (me and the other sensei's) get to train with him for about five hours.

And next week my hours change to 8am - 4pm, mon - fri. I'm going to have to start getting up at 6:30am. I haven't gotten up that early in /years/. *sigh*

In other news, I graded on wednesday. *bounce* After a year, so, about time. But Sensei said some really nice things about me. I mean, I've had a lot of injuries that prevented me from training for a while, the worst ones being my ankles. And he said that he'd thought when I'd started training again, that here was going to be another person who used their injuries as an excuse to grade early and have bad techniques. But then he said that he was wrong about that, because I'd mentioned my ankles once, and never done it again, and always tried really hard despite my injuries. So that was pretty cool. ^_^

Posted next chapter of NaNoWriMo2002, find it here. Or, if you like, go to Chapter 3 and click the "Next" link down the bottom. ^_^ *bounce* Corrected for one spelling error and one formatting error - if you find any others let me know. The corresponding snip "Anami is a slut.txt" was, unfortunately, HTMLd after the backup - I'll see if I can format it shortly, hopefully up sometime later this week, just to give you all time to read the original section. ^_^ In this chapter of NaNo: Meet the Queens! Siege Hadrini, scry spell, Seltyin *thunk*, Anami is a slut.txt, chat about medallion. The end.

Also, I think that Captain Jack Sparrow isn't as dopey as people seem to think he is. Neither is he drunk all the time. Sharp as a tack, that man.

Also, they are zombies, not skeletons. Just for the record. *glares at Chas* ^_^ :P

Finally pulling full poundage of my bow, 33 lbs, for the full session this morning. I also managed to bend an arrow, rip off five bits of fletching and break a nock, while my bow had surgery and adjustments to the arrow rest, arrow tuner, sight and clicker. On the upside, I didn't get burnt. On the downside, after it started raining the arrows got really hard to pull out of the target.

Finally seen Pirates of the carribean, twice; once on thursday night with Chas, when it /finally/ opened in Australia, and once this afternoon with Liz and Phillip. Captain Jack Sparrow is the best thing to ever walk the earth. No, really. I am so seeing this movie again soon. ^_^ I know that Ann recced a bunch of Pirates fic, but I can't find the archives for her blog... wah. :(

Tired. Not getting enough sleep, so am bad person. Have a big day tomorrow, as well:
10 - 12:30 Assisting Greg with karate class, Churchlands
1 - 2 Assisting at the yellow belt karate grading
2:30 onwards Piking on the other grading for the higher belts to go see Highlander at Uni with Liz and Maelkann
6:30 Church. I keep forgetting this one...

Since I'm already buggered, I'm going to be so dead tomorrow night, which will mean that I'm going to be so dead on monday at work. :( wah.

I need to blog more often. I also need to find the time to read all my friends' blogs/Ljs, as I had to go back 5 friends pages today, just to catch up. Full time work may be paying me lots, but I can't wait until I get to go back to part-time. ^_^

I will have my new computer in at uni monday, so I may get another chapter of my Nano up then. Well, probably. it should only take me about five minutes to check it through and then upload it.

Also, weird. I hope you guys get to see this soon. >.<

Anything sweet? Allow me to entice you over to Australia, where you can enjoy the finest sweet things I can make. Also, we have a pool in the backyard, so it /might/ count as a cottage with a lake. ^_^;

Tired, sleepy, and in pain. But first, my weekend. Saturday. Archery = fun. Am getting better. John (the main guy who's helping me) says I'm getting better. Whee! Shot 30m and 40m in the two hours in the morning, got horribly sunburnt on my left shoulder and neck. Serves me right for wearing a singlet sans sunscreen. *sigh* Neither Chas nor Liz in attendance; Chas horribly sick, Liz not feeling well. Went home, ate lunch, went to QC, picked up comics. I really should read my Newtype magazines, I think I've got around 5 of them piled up waiting for me. Went back to archery for the club shoot. I missed the first distance (40m) but shot for the 30 and 20. My aim was markedly improved from the last time I shot in the club shoot. Was fun. Finally put sunscreen on. Went home, ate dinner, went into Uni. Chas still sick. Meh. Went home, applied aloe vera after sun gel in copious amounts, went to sleep.

Sunday. Woke up, applied father's day present stealthily to dad's computer. Was a "computer bear", consisting of a head and four paws, which you stick to the top, sides and bottom of your computer to look like there is a bear holding your computer up, or that your computer has suddenly sprouted limbs and a head. Had breakfast, ambushed dad at top of stairs and directed him to study. Liked present, so all good. Got ready for karate, went to karate. 5 students, 3 of them dads, only 2 kids. Took the brown belts throuh Seiunchin. Changes in kata pretty good, will need more practice. Ankle still hurts in cat stance, long stance and kokutsudachi. I keep forgetting the english to that one. Back leaning stance? *shrug* Anyway. After class, one kid's mother not there; Greg asked me to take fees to Sensei, at some dojo until 1pm. Got fees, got in car, got on freeway, realised that I didn't know which dojo Sensei was at. Pulled over in emergency lane, called Sensei. Sensei still in Adelaide (^_^;;;) told me to drop fees off at his house, in Yokine. Gof off freeway at Warwick Rd exit, turned around, got back on freeway. Went back to Hutton Rd exit, which was basically where I got on the freeway >.< Dropped fees in Sensei's (locked) letterbox, got petrol, went home. Ate lunch. Finally. Had shower, got dressed for wedding. Was pissing down. Prayed for no rain while ceremony was taking place, as was happening outdoors.

Wedding. (originally typed weeding. I am tired.) Very pretty. Chris looked very smart. Chas best man, did not lose rings. Was very swoony in his coat, waistcoat and tails. (!) Also had haircut and shave for the occasion, so very nice. *swoon* Clare's dress very pretty. Vows not too long, very sweet. No rain. Also managed to lock keys in car, luckily dad drove down with the spares to get mine out. Went to reception hotel place. Most of wedding guests in bar and grill as ballroom not yet open. My status as significant other of best man let me sneak up to the suite with the rest of the wedding party, where much fun and relaxing was had by all. Furry, one of the groomsman, called room service for a needle and black thread, as his pants had come un-altered on him. The hotel called back saying that they had 27 different kinds of thread, but no needles. Later, a needle was acquired, so all good. I went down before them to take my place at my table in the ballroom before they came in, as they were being all announced and stuff. People were called up by tables to get food from the buffet. Liz and I at opposite ends of our table - considered communicating in sephamore, sign language, charades... eventually got a pen and wrote on napkins. Food was inedible, but I knew that already. Pulled over the guy that I was meant to talk to about food, informed him that I had called earlier in the day about a gluten free meal, and could he organise that for me? He said sure, ma'am, but that'll be about 5-6 minutes. I said thank you, sat down. about five minutes later he returned to me, carrying a plate sporting a little tower about a two thirds of a foot high. It contained various fryed vegetables, such as mushrooms, eggplant, tomato and squash, all of which I dislike with a burning passion. By this stage I was getting really hungry. I passed my plate around the table so various others could take the veges and make it look like I'd eaten some. I mean, I was within my rights, I suppose, to say no, I don't like this, could I have a plate of rice, please? But then you think well, they went to all this trouble to get this special meal for me, and they'll be all hurt and stuff if they think that I don't care and am spurning their food, so, blah. Got upset. Was also very cold. Went to toilets and stayed there for about ten minutes, missing Chas' speech and the cutting of the cake. Whatever. Pam came and got me afterwards. Apparently, she said, there was a handsome young man on the dancefloor who desparately wanted to dance with his beautiful girlfriend. Plus, she said, they'd turned the lights down so no-one would care, or notice. I deposited my tissues in the bin and went back to the ballroom and hugged Chas for a while. Apparently he learned to dance at school. Public schools have dance classes? Who knew. Anyway. Dessert proved more fruitful - I ate three pieces of rockmelon and two spoonfuls of cream, and then as much rockmelon as was left on the plate (about ten pieces) and another two spoonfuls of cream. Was still hungry. Got really tired. Finally left at about 11:30pm. Still no food. Also, had bad headache. Since the beginning of the night. Should have mentioned that earlier. Meh. So, Wedding nice and pretty (almost said weeding again, huh. Stupid d too close to the e); reception sucked. Chris and Clare very cute. Did not catch the bouquet. Went to sleep very tired, although managed to scrounge some food at home, so not as hungry, but still feeling sick.

Monday. Today. Went to hairdressers. My hair no longer has brown streaks down the middle. Went to bank. Now have shiny new bonus-saver acount. Went to work. Felt sick at about 3pm. Took break at 3:30, couldn't eat much food. Felt pretty bad all through the evening, although started getting slightly better towards 8pm. Went home. Ate tea. Was tasty, but afterwards had suspiciously familiar stomach pains. Much like the feeling of gluten rampaging through my intestines and eating everything it sees. Except I haven't had any gluten. Unless they put thickener in the cream at the reception. bastards. Anyway. It's now 11pm and I've still got the stomach ache, although it's gotten a bit better. Also still feeling sick, but could just be dehydrated.

Remind me to talk about Mr tea-towel head later.

In other news, I had to log in to a different computer because Cybium didn't want to load the blogger posting thing properly, and decided that I couldn't have post or publish buttons. >.< Luckily, when I went to sign out, it popped up a javascript thing that said "Do you want to save this entry?". Yay for BloggerNEW. ^_^

Also, I'm in, guys, definitely. When's our next deadline? ^_^

...this looks screwed up. Interesting.

Anyway, voting has closed on Fallen Angels for the naming of my new laptop: Ecchan it is!

My boss has possibly got some more full-time work for me after I finish full-time at the beginning of October. Possibly. She asked if I would be interested in more work, and that was about the extent of our conversation. So.

I made butterfly cupcakes today. Once they've baked you slice out a thin circle out of the top of the cupcake and fill it with cream, then cut the circle in half and stick the pieces in the cream, to look like wings. And the body of the butterfly was meant to be strawberry jam, but I don't like jam so I used choc bits instead. ^_^ (I'm obviously trying to lure you to me with food. STAY AWAY! WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!) ...*ahem*

Am bouncy, despite Chas being sick. He's all subdued and stuff. *hugs*
