I went shopping tonight for pirate costume stuff! With one of my good mates from uni. He has a pirate party on saturday night and another of my friends is going to a different pirate party on the same night. She also knows of yet another pirate party on saturday! I think it must be national pirate party day on saturday...
speaking of which...
Tomorrow is National Cuddle Day!.

Anyways, was heaps of fun. Me and my mate don't get to hang out that much anymore but we get along really well and generally have heaps of fun doing whatever it is we're doing at the time... and usually make a lot of noise in the process and tend to get other people involved in our discussions. It's interesting how you get some much more boldness when you're hanging out with a mate. In this instance we'll ask random shop staff their opinions about same random topic we're arguing about, or ask them which is the best colour parrot for pirates etc. Normally neither of us would do that sort of thing, just having the company creates a sort of rash boldness.

Do you have a specific friend that tends to increase your self confidence when you hang out with them? What sort of stuff do you do out of the ordinary with them? hmm, share some stories :-)

I got put on permanent at work yesterday! That means I get paid public holidays, sick days, and 4 weeks of paid holidays a year! Rate of pay went down a little, but the benefits outweigh that.

First One80 for the term on friday! It's gonna rock, new tribes, new names, new colours... And cool colours this term too!

Woke up at 4:30 this morning with an interesting thought... Instead of keeping a list of people who have wronged you, and what they did. Keep a list of people that you have wronged, and think of something good you could do for them. Maybe that would be something as simple as praying for them. Was a fairly random thought, but I thought I'd post it on here anyway :-) Comments?

Ok, Ok, I finally made it back to blogland! Huzzah!

Outbreak was great, but most of the stories only really make sense to the people that were on the camp. Was a good time though. I ended the week feeling pretty tired, but having enjoyed myself thoroughly, and also got to know some of the other one80 guys heaps better.

This week I've had every afternoon off, as it's vacation care at my second job, and I don't do vacation care as I'm only available for afternoons. This means I get a whole stack more free time which has been very nice. Granted I havent' really done anything with it, except for relax at home. But that has been quite nice and relaxing.

Got my new phone yesterday as well. It's very funky but really hard to get the back cover off. Eventually had to prize it off with a knife to get to the sim card (which I had put in wrongly so the phone didn't work). Then after much stress I finally got the sim card back in properly and the phone worked! And had to take the cover off again to stick the sim back in my old phone to get the phone numbers... But hopefully I won't have to take the cover off anymore! Unless I buy a bigger memory stick for the phone... but will see.

Got to catch up with kat and nut on the weekend, which was very nice since they now live out nearish the distant island of Longreach and I don't see them very often at all.

Ryan's party tonight... heroes and villains... I'm going as every cool teenagers worst nightmare... Muahahahah!
