Well.
I got home from a week in Canberra today.
For those who don't know, I lived there before I Was sentenced to live in this hell hole.
We spent our time shopping and hanging and stuff and it was wonderful!
SUNDAY: Listened to Hottest 100 countdown all the way there. Had dinner with my Grandparents in Sydney. Nana even said I looked nice. Family singalong to Bohemian Rhapsody by QUEEN. Got angry at the sheer AMOUNT of Jeff Buckley songs in the countdown. Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine made up for it. Grandpa looked a lot better, I don't know if he is though. Got to Carolyn's place at 11:30pm and watched South Park and text-ed till 4am!
MONDAY: Hung out at ANU, and found a combined International Relations/Visual Arts degree, so I'm now seriously considering doing it (if i get the right UAI!) then went QUESTACON!!! and got sucked into doing a really long survey at the National Library. They have yummy cupcakes.
TUESDAY: Went shopping at Canberra Centre and got 2 CDs (Something with Numbers and Regina Spektor) and a book called How I Live Now, browsed at Belconnen and tried on some TRUELY beautiful dresses, ALL of which i managed to make look dreadful. Dragged our gear to the Gee residence and had fish and chips for dinner.
WEDNESDAY: Saw Harry Potter 6, IT WAS GREAT! =D Then hung at Intensity (an arcade) for a bit and played Dance Dance Revolution for $1!!! Played Wii Super Mario Kart and now want one =P. Chaser was HILARIOUS but they only have two shows left....=(!!!
THURSDAY: Mum ditched us to go skiing, so we hung with the boys and played Wii and went to the park to play soccer for a bit.
FRIDAY: Shopping at Belconnen while the boys were at Intensity, bought another 2 CDs (Hilltop Hoods and Little Birdy) and kicked Mini's ass at air hockey! Visited Canberra Uni but wasn't very impressed with it. Then went to hang with Maddy which was awesome!! We talked and watched Rad Dwarf and Black Books!! It was great to see that even though we hadn't seen each other for four years we were still friends!! Hung out with the boys and played cluedo after dinner and talked with mum for a bit in bed. Started reading How I Live Now.
SATURDAY: Got up, packed, left, finished reading How I Live Now, it was great Came home and got in a fight with mum. Went to Mai-well debate with Prillz which was awesome and met Mikey Robbins and Jean Kittson and got autographs, photos and a pic with their limo! Such a great night, ruined by mum's bitchiness when we got home.
I forgot how much I miss Canberra and now feel totally shit. At least we're off to Crescent's Head tomorrow so I won't be here for long. :)
Looking forward to snow trip first week back and WOULD feel good about Pat's party if it didn't mean missing SWN at Panthers!!! *GRR*
