The weekend that was.

You know when you're really really excited about something you've just remembered about? Well, no longer than 20 minutes ago I saw that I had recorded a Sneak Peak of Sex And The City 2 with SJP on Foxtel...you gotta love technology when you can record TV! Anyway, I got so excited and pressed Play straight away. My house is pretty boring, there's not much to do other than use the net or watch TV, and even with Foxtel, sometimes there's NOTHING on, so I was happy that for the next 20 minutes I will be occupied.



Well I started watching and there was a Red Carpet event, so I just assumed that Sarah Jessica Parker would soon walk down it, with a stunning dress, looking lovely and maybe even the others would join her too. I waited and I waited; And then, I waited even more. But Sarah Jessica Parker did not walk down in a stunning dress. She didn't even walk down in a dress I wouldn't be caught dead it. She just didn't turn up. The other three didn't either. What a let down.



I'm a bit tired this week. Friday night I had dinner at my brother and his wifes house. I'm pretty picky with food, like extremely picky. I don't like many vegetables. I don't eat cake. I hate Ice-cream. My soup has to be strained like I'm 5 years old because I can't - or maybe it's that I won't - eat lumpy soup. There I was sitting on the couch, chatting to all and eating the cheese and biscuits - and - my favourite snack...CABANA when I saw it. The Octopus.

I took this photo when I decided I would try it (I didn't pick it up and put it back. I'm hygienic!) but it did take me awhile to decide whether I would try it or not. I was contemplating forever. I was a little bit scared. There was a little girl there who wanted to pick one up so I told her it was yucky and she changed her mind and had a biscuit. Then she kept pointing at it saying "yucky" every five minutes. She was so cute. You should have seen her face when I picked it up. She said "yucky! yucky! put it in bin!" But I ate it. It was really salty. and tasted a lot like I'd fallen off my surfboard and swallowed water from the ocean. It was really chewy and I can officially say I've eaten an octopus, but I can also put it on the record that once is enough.

After that, I ate my dinner and played cars and play dough with the little babies who all were gorgeous and drank probably a bit to much and then decided I'd go to my friend Maki's house because he was having a little get together. But because I'd drank a bit too much, I went to his parents house and he hasn't lived there for a year. He lives with Jade so combine drinking a little and hearing "Maki's house" and not "Jade's house" which I'd normally hear plus my slow mind (ha ha) I got a little confused but in the end I ended up at Maki's (and Jade and Hayden's) and had another drink and was happy again. Oh, btw, just so you know, I didn't knock on Maki's parents front door, but...I wasn't far off it.

The next night was Trav's birthday and we went to James Squire, which I love... and I was a little bit dissapointed as was Trav because Collingwood got beaten. Michelle was dissapointed too, but not about the footy - she doesn't really care at all for footy - but because the boys were telling her she should get a beer so when we went to the bar, I said "You'd probably like the Golden Ale" So, Mich trusted me and I let her down, because upon her first sip she was almost ready to spit it out. She didn't though. She just had a look of disgust. BUT, she's wonderful because she kept drinking it. It took her near 2 hours, but she finished it.

After they called last drinks at JS, we went to Ding Dong, which I've never been to, at the time I was waiting in line, a guy came down the stairs and told my friend Courtney, that we should all use "Big Johnny's guestl ist" So the people who didn't already have a stamp got to use his list. Thanks Big Johnny, whoever you are. The music really surprised me because as much as I like the music the posse listen to, I don't really know it that much. But at Ding Dong, it played oldies music and I had a good time. My knee got sore by the end of it. So Jade and I got a lift with Courtney and Leanne and got home about 2. I think. Apparently Mich and the boys got home a lot later than that. I don't think I would have survived!

It's Monday night at only 9.20pm. I'm tired and my eyes are stinging, that means I've had a good weekend, but I've got to go to bed! Night everyone!

I have little/lots to say

So right now, at exactly this moment I am talking to Sarah, the friend I mentioned in my first blog that moved to Darwin with her husband. We were talking about blogging and I said I wanted to write something, but I didn't quite know what to write about. Sarah pointed out I had lots of things I could say so here goes. Wish me luck!

When I go shopping I always have to plan it. What shops I'm going to and in what order, because I hate shopping so much that I need to be in and out as quickly as possible. So, last Thursday I went shopping and with my plan in my mind, my next stop was Forever New. So I'm walking along, past the food court -which by the way I didn't stop at this time but usually do - and I'm looking around watching all the people eat at 4.30-5pm and I'm quite intrigued whether it's a late lunch or an early dinner and then it happens...

I feel my foot slide accross and my knee bend and the next thing I can feel is the front of my kneecap hitting the floor and then my knee landing sideways and underneith me. I'm still not even sure how it ended up landing sideways when I fell forwards, but anyway, My left arm hit the floor only seconds after that and I was so embarrassed that I didn't have time to cry.

I stood up quickly and my mum came rushing over, which was also embarrasing, but I was secretly glad someone I knew was there to help me. She asked me if my kneecap had dislocated and I said a quick no and tried to walk. She said the operation must have worked (I had one less than a year ago to stop my knee from dislocating.) and then someone came over and handed my mum my sunglasses which had flew off my head across the floor and landed at her feet. I couldn't even tell you what the lady looked like, since I was so embarrassed that I didn't even look at her and only just heard my mum say thankyou. My mum took my bag and carried it for me and I limped all the way to Forever New. I brought a scarf from there and the sales lady asked me how I was. I wanted to yell and scream that I was in pain and my knee was killing and I fell over but all I said was "good thankyou" and she said "enjoy the rest of your night" as I was leaving and all I could say was "I will."

Mum wanted to go elsewhere but I was in so much pain and had to go to my friend Freyah's birthday that night, so I just wanted to go home and have a rest before I went into the city for dinner. On the way home I felt so sore and crabby that I didn't say much in the car. When I got home I checked my kneecap and already it was swollen and had a bruise. It was the weirdest bruise I've ever seen. It was these tiny little purple spots, like someone has poked me with pens.

A week and 2 days on and I'm still in pain, it's still swolen and the bruise is still there. I thought after the operation I was going really well. But this one fall has been a step backward. It was bending so much better lately and now after the fall it hurts when I try to bend it. I was just starting to get back to walking up the stairs pain free, and now it's hurting to do that again. I wasn't able to go down stairs very well and I still can't do that, so there's no change there. It is just so frustrating that I want to scream. But I won't. I've been icepacking it as much as possible, trying to do it every night but I'm so forgetful that I forget to put the icepack back into freezor sometimes. Hopeless.

Ok here's some poetry now.

On that very first day that I met you, I thought it might be hard

To guide you on the right track, from a life that's been so sad

You told me who you were, and you laughed a little loud

And when I laughed along with you, I could tell that made you proud

But in an instant that all changed and your smile just dissapeared

And the way you were, was different now, the others had just neared

And from that day on I would see just how quickly you could change

For not one second of your life, could ever be the same

One minute you are laughing and the next you may just cry

And I always see you giving up, when you promised you would try

I try not let it get to me when you push me away

Because you never stop fighting me, even when you want me to stay

Freedom makes you happy, it's the one thing everybody sees

And I can really notice when you try so hard to please

When you're angry you can't help but cross that line

I see you're saddest moment is when you think you've been left behind

You've said bad things and from the truth you've walked away

And you've given me nothing, sometimes even for days

I've tried to help when I think you're ready for it

Even on the days when you choose to ignore it

I've let you sit there when you've been upset

Even in the times when you show no regret

I know you've hurt those around you, just because they're there

And I know that when you do it, sometimes you just don't even care

I've heard you when you're angry and I've seen you when you're strong

I've heard you when you're sorry and I've seen you not admit when you're wrong

But out of nowhere you thank me, just for being there

And you smile for just one second and it lets me know you care

And though it lit up the room when everything was dark

That smile of yours was never going to last

For in just a moment you'll remember, just how hard it is to be

Inside the body of a person, that acts too differently.

Tad bit long. Sorry!
