A long time between drinks
I hate how sometimes there is nothing to do and then things get so busy you can't even update your blog for over a week! I don't even know exactly where the time has gone, all I know is that it has.
The weekend flew! I arrived on Friday night, then on Saturday we had a LAN session at the hall Alex's dad runs, and so the entire day was taken up with that pretty much. We used to try and have one about once a month but haven't had one now in over a year and so I had a great time. On top of getting to play games for the entire day/night I got to catch up with people I haven't seen for absolutely ages like Geoff, Jason, Paul, etc. We got there at about 1pm and didn't get home until about 3:30am, so it was a full-on day. Sunday was therefore really tiring and all I did was drop in to mum and dad's and caught up with Grandma before I came home.
I worked until about 4pm on Monday at which time Jodie and I took a Gov car and drove back to Adelaide. I dropped her off at the hotel and so got to spend a brief amount of time at home that night. Next morning I picked Jodie up and we went to the most pointless training session in the Adelaide office ever. Won't bore you with the details really, but a waste of time nonetheless. We left at about 3:30pm and when we got home I was completely stuffed.
On top of the running back and forth work has just been crazy too. With the end of the financial year coming the work is piling up, so many things to do before the end of June!
I was thinking that I really miss living with someone. Don't get me wrong, ofcourse I miss Ivan but probably more than anything I miss just having someone else there. I mean, I do like being on my own sometimes too, like not having to worry if I'm bothering anyone by blasting my music as I take a shower in the morning and stuff like that, but when it comes to being scared you just think 'I wish someone else was here'. The scary neighbour is the main thing, yes. I was working on the art of avoidance but before I left for Adelaide on Friday I went to put some rubbish in the bin and he was bloody well outside wasn't he? The conversation was actually like a normal neighbourly conversation over the fence and I went inside the house and thought to myself that perhaps I am overreacting as there was nothing creepy about that at all. But as soon as I had finished that thought, lo and behold, a knock was on the door and there he was again being creepy as all hell. He actually started walking in as soon as I opened the door but I stopped that thankfully. My God, why couldn't he leave things in a normal manner?!?
And then the other times you wish someone else was around is like last night when I attempted to watch a movie. I started watching The Butterfly Effect which isn't meant to be scary but is meant to keep you guessing. Did the film-makers tell the composer that it wasn't meant to be a scary movie? I think not! Within the first 7 minutes I had jumped 3 times because of the damn music and was completely freaked out so I had to switch it off, but I really want to see this movie! Guess I'll have to wait until I have time during the day, when it isn't dark. Silly Mel.
In other news, Big Brother is back on which means Big Brother Up Late is there to entertain me during my insomnia, and so the world is good again.
