Horray for infrequent blogs?

Part of the reason for this is...well my life has been pretty mundane lately and then interesting bits caused so much fuss I totally forgot about this >.<

The "interesting bits" were when at work I managed to get both the AMBULANCE and FIRE BRIGADE to come assist me at work... no I didn't set the restaurant on fire, have anything fall on me and trap me or even burn myself............ I dislocated my ring finger when the diamond on my engagement ring caught on the lip under a shelf and in the process managed to pull my own body weight in the wrong direction...complicated but makes sense when "demonstrated"... anyway... by the time I got out the back (because stupidly I tired to continue serving the customer) I was close to tears it hurt so much... then when I realised my finger had swollen so much I couldn't remove my ring to improve circulation I panicked... Of course my fiancee just happened to be there too and tried to help me get the swelling down with ice but by this time it was so swollen it just wouldn't come off... Then a few other friends from work came over and took me off to the girls changing room to be a tad more aggressive in getting it off...but it wouldn't work. So we had to call the ambulance, they came and took me to the crew room where I got the ring cut off which really hurt because they had to shove a thin piece of metal underneath so the didn't cut me as well as the ring, as well as the obvious fact... THEY CUT MY RING!! T_T I went home early that day I was just so upset and in pain... then got to make up the hours the next day. Weirdly enough the same time the day after I hurt myself I was serving a woman who later identified herself as "Head Office" and that she'd done a secret shopper test on me, which I passed everything on. I wonder how different that would have been had she come twenty four hours before hand... I'm certain I swore then it happened, albeit under my breath. Anyway the ring is at the jewellers at the moment, most likely fixed and waiting. I was meant to pick it up on Friday but had to work and Andrew was too busy with family dramas... so I'll get it Monday.

So about the mundane parts, as usual Teresa and I have been making infrequent trips into town to top up our junk food stashes. Generally to Nerd Central, the only place on the coast I know of where you can get cherry coke, pop tarts and other nice foods...like Hershey's Kisses ♥ 

They also have lots of collectibles and comics. No manga though...you have to ask for them to order it specifically which OK but it's quicker and cheaper if you have your own Internet connection to order it yourself. Which reminds me I got DeathNote volume 5 with the Misa figurine the other day ^o^

Also I made miso for breakfast today, which I think I might do more often it was that damn good...

Anyway I'm thinking I'm going to update this only on certain days and keep to that routine. It seems to work well for my friend, since she always makes a point of saying something on those days. it's good because I always know when I can expect to see blogs from her. Anyways I suppose I shall update Mondays and Fridays like her since Monday I can talk about my weekend and plans for the week, and Fridays as an updater? We'll see ^^

Ten Things ~ Life

Firstly, I've recently acquired a part time job, which is awesome. Admittedly at McDonald's, but part time is part time. Also... I definitely feel different this time. I worked there a few years back and hated it, but for some reason I actually don't mind working there anymore. Scary...yet refreshing to know either something dodgy about it has been rectified, or I've grown as a person. Most likely a bit of both!! The only problem is that this week I had to work both jobs (couldn't quit until Sunday) and although they fitted in together, I'm already totally stuffed. I had an eight to eleven thirty McDonald's shift this morning and start at four pm and wont clock out till after ten tonight... imagine a whole week of just WORK. I don't know how Andrew used to survive it... especially for about three months!!

Anyway, my best friend Liz made a list of ten things she likes about herself on her blog, and encouraged people to do the same... I'm not sure I can list a whole ten, but lets see shall we?


1. I don't let other peoples opinions of me phase me too much, I'll take it on board but I wont worry that "omg someone I don't even know doesn't like me"

2. I'm loyal to those I care about and ideas I truly believe in, meaning hurt a friend of mine and be cast into the depths of hell.

3. When I put my mind to it I can accomplish things that even make me wonder how I did it... e.g. saving money for my overseas trip and house deposit so quickly (not completely finished but the trip could easily be booked by the end of the year!!)

4. I make awesome danishes, sushi, milk curry (Mum's recipe lol) and deserts

5. A quick learner, I don't need to be shown 1000 times, just once or twice and I'll generally remember for life

6. Eerily good at remembering dates...even when I don't want to.

7. Art in general, but mostly digital drawing/ painting and photography, I love them and am constantly trying to improve my technique and editing skills

8. Although I don't show it, I actually have quite an extensive vocabulary, however using proper English grammar and pronunciation gets quite cumbersome sometimes. Especially when the other party doesn't understand what on earth you're trying to convey... Yes I do actually speak to myself like that...

9. I'd say I'm a good friend. I try to help people wherever possible, even if I don't know them that well.

10. When I make an effort I can look really nice. Pretty even :o


Well I got to ten... I can't say anything spectacular arose like previously hoped... but hey what can you do. I can only tell you the truth. So how about seeing how you go?

Random day

I love doing eight hour day shifts. They always turn out to be good, not only do you get the benefit of only having to work two hour blocks (I get two fifteen minute breaks and an hour for lunch) but you also get to see most of the people that work that day that you otherwise wouldn't see. Then again sometimes that isn't so good... Anyway you also get paid awesomely in comparison to if you only had a titchy shift.
Today I was lucky enough to get one of these, and a few other nice surprises.
For one, a friend I'd sadly dropped out of contact with over a year ago randomly messaged me and asked how I was. I very nearly fainted. This might not seem like such a huge thing but when you take into account the fact he lives 15,489 km (9624m) away...it's kinda special. I mean it's not as if I can just drive up to his place and say hey or vise versa. It also really makes you realise just how much you can miss people without even realising it...
