Get a real job Keep the wind at your back and the sun on your face All the immediate unknowns Are better than knowing this tired and lonely fate

I just noticed it has been 6 whole days since my last blog, how rude of me. So my biggest news would be that it snowed on Saturday. wonderful beautiful white fluffy snow that landed and lasted for days. it was magnificent. I went outside (i was by myself cos alice and greg went out drinking but i stayed at home) and looked up into the sky and my face got covered in snow. it was so lovely.

I also went to a craft fair in a skate shop and bought some vintage scrap paper/ drawings to help decorate my room. which has begun to look very homely. i like it a lot. The skate shop was pretty cool too and had a ramp at the back, and a tonne of vintage boards. and an amazing watch that would work much better than my watch which has a back that keeps falling off and keeps freezing but alas i still don't have a job and thus continue with leaky trainers and a dud watch.

I applied for 8 jobs in total yesterday....including one in safeway....and no results. i am unemployable and off to join the circus.

Tried to organise getting our chimney swept so we could have a nice fire on christmas day but the guy is booked up until feb and it costs $135 so perhaps none of that for us :( disappointing. we could just send greg up...

oh and i have some bad news...i lost my hat :( my lovely lovely brown hat that i lived in for the last 5 years, its gone, somewhere between this house the pub (where i only had 2 drinks) and the bus home. gone gone gone for good :( bad bad times.

today i am going to pop to the thrift store and get some bored games for the house. i am also going to go to safeway and buy some food for tea. im going to do all of that without a hat :(

right now i am listening to rilo kiley, alice and i swapped a tun of music last night. its so good to be listening to something new. i am very much enjoying myself. although not having a job is actually making me pretty sad :( i might try and flog some drawings iv been doing on etsy. get all self employed.

tomorrow i plan to find a new hat. christmas is soon, gettin excited about that. Yesterday i was sitting reading the paper in the living room when i thought to myself, i think il make a cup of tea. so i walked through to the kitchen and there on the dinning room table was the mail....i had 2 cards ! i gasped because i was in by myself and had been for about an hour or so and had just presumed there was no mail. One card was from my aunti edith and the other was from my nana, i put them both on the mantle piece and now we have no more room for cards ! going to have to install a string !! excellent.

its bloomin freezin in here, just bumped my heater up so hopefully il warm up. it was -4 the other day, think thats the coldest its been here, which isnt that bad at all !! -3 today supposed to snow again tomorrow ! how wonderful :)

I made some cardboard things for my room...like a real homeless! here are some pics :)

here are some pictures from friday night

for some reason...greg.... we thought it would be a good idea to take some beers for the road.... then we realized thats not legal here so we had to down them before we got to the bus stop...not fun, especially since i was drinking 'black tusk' which tasted like pencil sharpeners.
