Taking Time Out From Life...

So my little break is now over, and today I started working again. -Even though its only a couple of weeks work, its still getting me out and about, and getting my brain working in a slightly more normal way again.
Plus...its probably a good thing to get me away from the tv for a few weeks :P

So in the last two weeks, I've been pretty quiet. I've been hanging with my girls. Went to Kay's birthday at the Asian Buffet, and met some new people.

Last week I spent a few hours going through all my old Big Hit and TV Hits magazines that I had stored away in my cupboard. I finally had the guts to get rid of them. Going through them (checking for anything I needed to keep) was a lot of fun. Plenty of good memories of my teen years, but most of the stuff in there, I have moved on from. Like Buffy. My lil sis was stoked to go through them all, she collected a few posters and pictures. Then Jacinta came over and went through them and ended up taking home a whole stack. What was left I tossed straight into the recycle box, so now I'm magazine free.
-Sure I kept 1 really old one, and I still have plenty of other mags left, with award show photos and stuff, but the super teeny stuff is gone. -Its actually a huge step for me, letting go of those old obsessions of mine.

My birthday is coming up, I'm not sure exactly when I'm working that weekend yet, but I know I'll be working sometime on the saturday. So trying to organise a mini b'day party is becoming difficult.
But I'll work something out.

I've been pretty depressed this last week. I don't completely know why...I think I just felt a little lonely. I think settling back into my family after over 40 days hanging out with someone 24/7 really messed up my head. I mean I barely spoke to anyone for 3 days, in a house with 4 other people. That tends to mess with your head after a little while.

Anyways...things are starting to look up, and I'm already feeling better, which is a good sign.

Gotta work in the morning, I should probably head off to bed....try that sleeping thing - which I haven't been doing much of lately either...probably connected to my mood too.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Well I'm finally getting around to posting a new message here....even though I've been back 2 weeks now.

I'll write about the trip in the trip blog, never got very far with that...but lack of computer access made it tricky to keep updating after DC.

So far I've been adjusting. Getting my room reorganised - since -people were spending time in here while I was away! I've also been doing general spring cleaning. Finally getting rid of some stuff I really don't need!

I'm pretty broke these days...however I have still been pretty busy socially. Went out for dinner with the gang the other night -which was fun. Good to see everyone again. We even played Nintendo Monopoly. Brett kicked some serious butt!

Did Halloween over the weekend. Sunday arvo I went over to Ness' and dressed up as a witch. Ness was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz...so we had a good little theme going. lol. We watched Girth of Pushing Daisies...which was both Halloween AND horse racing themed -which worked out very nicely! lol.
As far as the cup went....I did not place, but I don't really care that much about it. Its more fun when you're in a sweep or something.

2 weeks later, I'm still really depressed about being home...or being out of the US. I just really enjoyed my time there....I can't wait to go back again!
