Get a life

maybe I shall turn this into a rant a vent or some other whatever.

frustrated/annoyed on a number of levels.
1. bored bored bored
2. have to find someone to feed my dog while we’re away
3. bored bored bored
4. the following comment via msn:

person: “hehe, just thought I’d let ya know, I discovered something when in the city”
bec: yeh?
person: “there are sooooooo many cute guys in the city :P”

very hard to convey a stoney silence and a ‘get a life’ over msn…

there is normality and there is just ‘grow up’, why must it become an entire topic of conversation?

frankly not in the mood.
so Im a lonely bored grump.
get a life bec.
Blogs stink sometimes. They don’t talk back not even to tell you to shutup.

Here’s to Normality (altered rather a lot)

Not entirely sure why I started titling these, could be something to do with the fact that I enjoy making up that kind of thing. Words words. I usually wait until after I’ve written then put something up. Did the title first today. So much for saying holidays started last week, whenever, this is the first day where I have nothing. Which is the key to start planning/sorting stuff on what needs – or I want to happen. Bedtimes need to improve. 2:30am last ‘night’ which is terrible, I could blame it on proper coffee and good company. It was both, it’s still stupid of me. Wonder if I can make it to bed before 10?
So, regain the body clock, my habits to work myself back into some sort of properly functioning human being where I can have an indepth conversation without losing the plot 5 min’s in.

[12:53:02 AM] you wanna know somthing else I think?
(please don’t take the wrong way) our late nite
encounters have not been as deep (it’s not even
that…they’ve just been different) in recent times

^ Very true that and entirely my fault.

God, I guess I need to shove otherstuff aside a bit more. I can fool myself thinking that I’ve spent time with you, but it’s not the best of my time. Help me to want to give my first and best time to spend with you. Thank you for what you’ve been this past while – that’s the attitude I’ve had. It should be: for who you are.

It’s funny how things change in interaction with someone, you/others how externally it appears nothing has changed and a week weeks down the track things just feel differnt (often the awkward, sometimes the better).

….more left unsaid.

Appologies to those I’ve had zombie conversations with lately – that would be most of you I’ve talked with. Please please kick me offline if I’m on after 12pm (or earlier if I say :))
I love talking with you, but if I can do it earlier, conversation should be much improved.

slept til 11:50am. I never do that.

Jess W was coming to pick me up at 11:45am (yes thats right). Told me the night before to be sure to be ready as I don’t want to have to come inside and get you. Thankfully she was late. Got here about 11:55 instead. In a good mood 😛 so she gave me a fraction longer.

Fall out of bed. find clothes somehow, find shoes, find water, fed the dog, grabbed an apple to eat in the car (for breakfast), money, phone, assignment to hand in. left.

Got talking on the way to Tabor and so missed the turn off on to Oban Rd (erm. yes we do go the same way every time) had to go the long way round. Handed in essays with half an hour to spare. I went looking for Rowan to get my USB stick back, but their offices were all locked up, will just have to wait for camp.

Drove to Eastland (that would be the shopping centre) to meet Alecia infront of Macca’s for lunch (infront, not at). Subway for me, some a little sorry looking pasta for Jess and Alecia (when she came).

Jess and I then went Camera shopping. Teds Camera House first (which I told Jess was overpriced) weren’t there long. Then to Kirks. Nice shop. Jess got asked what she was looking for, “a camera” (A and I gave her lots for that seeing the whole shop was devoted to them). I managed to talk Jess out of giving into the sales lady’s advice and to wait and look round a bit more. Saw the camera I found last night for $649 the rrp listed on the Nikon site. Too much.

Then dropped Alecia back at her car and we drove back to Croydon. Second shop, much bigger range. Jess found something better, cheaper and I made her ask/get a deal for everything else thrown in. There’s some of the dutch coming out.
Managed to find one myself.
Same camera as before. Nikon Coolpix 4800 was after at least 4mp. and more zoom. Surprisingly $100 cheaper. Ho hummed for a bit, got sales person to chuck a card in with it, cost a bit extra but not too much. Decided I might as well.

So 🙂 I have a camera. finally!

mucking around and took this of the flowers we had for hannah:

Went to Annie Get Your Gun tonight at school. Good way to spend an evening. Typical school production with varying levels of singing/acting ability. Overall pretty good. Hannah was great! Don’t know where those genes came from. Her only obvious blunder when she snaped her gun in half… and everyone laughing so hard she found hard to hear the music – but kept singing. She didn’t have trouble with lines, although a few did. Had seats in the middle but way up the back as Han forgot to book early. I was fortunate enough to have a little kid in front of me 😛


Hannah (aka Annie Oakley)

Fun evening, even though I did have an ‘oversleep’ headache.

caught up with Jaclyn (cousin) very good to see her again 🙂 Miss not seeing her now I’m not at school.


em, jaclyn, laura

And that is the end of the saga of my day. Thank you for listening if you got this far, if you didn’t I don’t blame you.

Goodnight.

Whatever

Worth remembering.

earlier this evening I was doing a boost for the sibling (aka Hannah) in gush as she is Annie in Annie Get Your Gun tomorrow night in the school production. I was looking and looking for that verse that says: ‘do everything for God deal…’ I couldn’t remember exact wording and spent a bit of time scrounging searches on biblegateway and gave up. I normally don’t put verses in boosts but it came to mind.

Anyway. later. lots later. after I’d sort of forgotten. I open to where I left off reading last night (yeah evidence I’ve been doing reading). And was on Colossians 3:15-17.

v.17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Ah the irony. God makes me laugh sometimes.

but hey, in looking for the Haig’s: its the thought that counts.

(and I just broke a bec rule: do not say the ‘but hey’… hmm that hasn’t come up in awhile. Oh well I’ll just leave it.)

Dictionary:
Haigs/Hagar – Hannah (the littlest sister)

Word of the Day: intrinsic only becuase I had it on the tip of my tongue when I was writing the personal creed – wanted to use it (and I did) but it took one extensive search of the dictionary and varieties of spelling.

God is cool.

We are the Pirates who don’t do anything (abridged)

Quarter of the creed done. Jess W picked me put around 2:00 went and did some at her place. Had tead, went to Amy S’s for Veggie Tales night (YITS). Deciding what to go was all rather impromtu – figured we had nothing much better to do (than more essays). Will have to work hard tomorrow. Worth it though, to catch up with a few: Amy, Tracey, Jessmin, Clare, Erin, Jo and Nat.
Apparently Dave had dropped in earlier – those who are doing the netball lost the first game. Plenty of chips, scones, coke. Too much coke – hence still awake. Watched four VeggieTales then we left.
Thank you God for the friends reminder. I get in this stubborn mentality and refuse to work on what I’ve been given, wanting the outcome without the work, in so missing the journey, creating history, which really is a huge part of what it’s all about. Help me work on that.

Thinking about faith, interesting how all this (church crap) comes up. this situation and relating aspects. How the Personal Creed is very much about faith and belief. How I’ve been challenged with some of that lately. How I keep stumbling across books that I should be reading.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:16-19)
