Thanks for getting me back on the tracks

Yoyoyo,

I started writing this entry last night, and the original title was "Everything's broken" and it was in relation to the fact that I had no photos to show for two reasons, the first being that I broke my camera the other week, and the second being that few photos I did take over the last couple of weeks are on my other computer, which is...you've guessed it...broken. But after today, I actually have some photos to show (admittedly the zoom still doesn't work) and a completely different outlook on my situation...it's amazing what one day can do, and two amazing friends! Bought a new computer yesterday, and I finally gotta a new phone last weekend.

So I suppose I'll just start from where I left off, the first couple of weekends of the year have involved me kayaking, the first weekend (since my last post) with Rosie, Dandy and Steffie around Coochiemudlo Island (off of Victoria Point cost), and the following Saturday around Garden Island (departing from Redland Bay) with Rosie, Dandy, Caro, Audie and Lan (I love Lan).

Coochiemudlo Island

Garden Island - Seriously, it was long!!!!
The following Thursday was AUSTRALIA DAY, the most boganiest day of the year. A day that I've been looking forward to for a long long time. As soon as I get my Hard Drive out of my old netbook I will add the photos of me to this blog. Great day, only managed to reach two house parties (opposed to the five that were originally on offer! (and one was more a gathering on pre-party than an actual party)) but when your at a party with a massive Slip 'n Slide why would you wanna move on!?!

Not too much to report back about in regards to the weekend that followed (aka last weekend) although Tom did finally admit that he has had enough of Brisbane (like I didn't see that coming), so between us we've decided it's time to move on from this place, he wants to do more surfing and live much nearer the sea, and I'm just done with this gaff....really, it's been getting me down! So we've both spent the last week getting it up to scratch and getting people viewing the place, and as of today we have someone who is very very keen so hopefully we will be moving out very very soon (i.e. this week) and I think it's put as both in high spirits. It'll be sad to see him go, but it's really what we both need. Fair play Tom for all your work this week....reason number two my mood is better.

Reason number one my mood's better, Thank you so much Rosie for my amazing surprise Christmas/Birthday present today. I didn't find out what we were doing until about two minutes before we got there, I saw the word "ski" on a road sign and clicked........"Huh, we're going wake-boarding!" Amazing, amazing, amazing day, great day, and greatly appreciated. I can't find the exact camp but Liquid Force!



This is still me, long story short - I changed life-vests...not a joke, all these photos are me.


So anyways after over a week of crap weather, and doing a week that's felt kinda pointless, the mood has finally changed back to normal, which I'm pretty glad about! I did hit up STA yesterday aswell to get an idea of prices for future holidays and travels (I'm sure more details to follow later). It's amazing and weird what travelling and being away from home for a long while can do to your mood. But a change of scenery and today is kinda what I think I need. Get that adrenaline pumping!!!!

I did start writing this post with what could've been a bit of a concussion (that one's just in there to scare Mum), cos I did take a wake-board to the head today....boom! But I think it's clearing. And I did have to stop half way to kill the new season of ants that seem to wanna eat the chicken from our bin...great timing for ants to move in, just as we wanna move out.

Hopefully my next post will be coming from a new location....hopefully a new house lined up for me in East Brisbane.
