So what has changed in 2011?
Single now - this one sucks. it's fun to be single when you're out and looking all fahaaaaaabulous, but it's not so awesome when you're bored and lonely :( life goes on tho :)
Different friends - still have my old friends, but I have expanded the, uh, genre? basically friends with lotsa different kinda people
i'm SO OLD! no longer a teenager :(
IN general tho, having read the old entries, i can hardly remember how to be the person who wrote them. I was much more positive and less jaded. Hopefully I can be all 'oh that's how!' soon enough and be supercakes again.
SERIOUSLY tho, i really miss being the uberfunniest as i was :(
Today showed me the true extent of my clumsiness and the unfortunate effects thereof. It has caused me physical pain!
So earlier i decided that i was being far too sedentary for life, and so i waited for the rain to stop, put on my jogging shoes and went outside onto the street. after stretching and doing other active type person things, i set off down the road, all glad to be outside exercising and getting fit (hopefully). I enjoy running, it's stress-relieving, and makes me feel all accomplished in life. So i jog down our road, turn the corner, jog to the end of the block and then TWIST MY ANKLE >.< And it just happened to be my right ankle, which has given me issues for years now. This is due to the fact that in high school sometime i sprained it and decided not to do anything about it, and that it was normal for an ankle to be the size of an orange. that healed, kind of, except i have this remarkable ability to KEEP TWISTING IT. sigh... so anyway, i limped home.
I stayed in bed and sulked and decided to not hurt myself anymore by moving in any way. Except i did. my bag was on the floor of the room so i bent down to pick it. HOWEVER i forgot about the shelf that was above me, so i stood up quickly and it made contact with my head. I hit it so hard that it raised a bump, cut it open and blood came forth. I'm holding an ice-pack to my head now and am feeling very sorry for myself :(

sore
She ended up lying down in the car and we were all sitting there with her in the car eating steers (well, my buddies were. fast food hates my stomach) and chatting and stuff, when this HUGE security guy and his friend drive up in a bakkie and start talking to us in an accent which can have only originated in Bloemfontein. First he accused us of drinking in the car, because we had water bottles. they were full of WATER. and then he explains to us that we were not allowed to sit in our car in the parking lot because apparently that's a national law of all Casinos in SA.
This would have been fine cos he was just explaining to us but then he decided that he had to be rude about it :/
So he goes: "It's the law, so you must either go inside the casino or just get out."
uh dude? just cos you're insecure about being from Bloemfontein and being stuck in the big scary city, doesn't mean it's okay to tell people to just 'get out.' Did you never hear the word please in your life? or maybe the concept of being POLITE?
so that still would have been fine, kinda, if he hadn't decided to follow us in his bakkie to make sure we actually did leave.
I was herded by a bakkie.
seriously.
But basically, it's not difficult to be polite. Who knows, it might make people like you and respect you. All i know is, no-one's gonna want to listen to you if you shout at them. ESPECIALLY in that accent. :/

irritated
MAKE THE GARDEN PRETTY!
So my mom has always loved gardening. I remember one time we left our toys in the garden and she told us that we had 10 minutes to take anything out of the garden we wanted or she would throw them away. We didn't believe her. We should have... Yeah she really loved her garden.
Anyway, after she left 9 years ago, our garden became a bit...not as pretty as before. Sure we still had plants and grass and what what but you could see that they weren't getting the TLC they would have gotten if my mom had been there to do so.
So that was fine. still a nice garden, just a bit unkempt. BUT THEN! 2 years ago we decided to renovate some our house (very necessary that) and the builders somehow managed to kill ALLLL the grass in the front garden because they would put all their cement and sand and buildy type stuff over it and so it died, along with a LOT of our plants. How they managed to kill all of it, i'll never know, because we have quite a large front garden.
Hennyway, I've decided to do something about it, finally. i'm hoping I somehow inherited my mother's talent for making things grow.
I started by digging up some plants which should never have been planted in the first place. Why do i say this? Because man oh man were they ugly. I made up for it tho by planting some Petunias, lavender, Rosemary, Mint, (this is embarrassing. I can't remember what they're called), and other stuff, of which i also forgot the name.
an aside: I'm terrible with names
AND! i'm starting a vegetable garden. So far it will have tomatoes and lettuce :) i'll do carrots at some stage also :)
I'll try take pictures and post them, but it's a mission and a bloody half to do that :P
- Feeling:
busy - Grooving to:The Police - Don't Stand So Close to Me
Let's hope 2011 is better
"so what have you been doing?" is what everyone asks. By everyone i mean the imaginary crowd of fans i just imagined in my head.
This is what i have been doing. In list form. ahem...
1) CLEANING THE HOUSE HOLY EFFING CRAP!!!
Yeah that's about it. if you don't count the insane amount of social type stuff also :)
I went to Pretoria (I'm better now tho) and Sun CIty! was sunny and funny :P
ALSO! I've literally seen my friends every single day this week. It's been great :) Last night we went to The Hat to party in the army. luckily it was all not-full and stuff which meant that you could get to the bar (2 for 1 special anyone?) and then at like midnight John, Tamlyn and I decided we were duper tired so we came back to my place and didn't sleep. *is confused*
Point of story? I keep forgetting how to do things cos i don't function on no sleep :/
ALSO! NEW YEARS IS TOMOOOOORRRROOOWWW!! It will be amazing, oh yes it will :) And hopefully 2011 will be superamazing and people will randomly give me chocolate and i will be all tralalalala omnomnom buysbiggerjeans :P
I DUNNO HOW TO BREAK THE LETHARGY!
- Feeling:
lazy
like these:
Sometimes you need to forget what you want and remember what you deserve.
Karma's only a bitch if you are
Saying goodbye is terrible - it's a little like dying.
Uncertainty is a bitch.
there are SOOO MANY!
IN OTHER NEWS! actually no wait, there is no other news. I just wanted to rant about allergies for attention... i can haz sympathy?
and now you may be wondering, have i been reading lolcats? surprisingly, no :/
About 4 months ago, i got an upgrade for my phone and me in all my not-knowing-about-phones decided to get an HTC (which i'd never heard of at that point). Apparently they're quite good phones, but the tiny problem with mine is that the OS is Windows. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU----
So I was running out of memory space on my phone for messages so i was all, let me stop being a luddite and get with the program (hahaha...) Anyway, so i synced all my text messages to a windows live account and then deleted all the messages off my phone so that i would have space. Srsly, there isn't one message left in my phone's memory. Unfortunately now everytime someone sends my phone a message it says "message memory is full. please delete some items." so now i can't get any messages and i can't delete anything so i can't fix it.
and to microsoft i would just like to send a big fuck you.
