For All We Know – Chunk! NO Captain Chunk!

So, that’s my brother and mother. I am so proud that when Dad wanted to take a photo of us sitting together, we all did these poses without arranging it.

Christmas was ok. Gift wise, this year we’re celebrating money! I did get The Tourist on DVD though, so there’s a bit of fun. For Christmas we went to my Uncle’s place for Christmas Lunch (seeing as its Summer for Christmas here, the norm is to have a barbecue lunch with cold meats and seafood), and for the first time in years the whole of Mum’s family were together. I can’t express how rare that is. So y’know, it was all right. For Boxing Day we had another barbecue at our place, this time for family friends. So it’s been full on with the guests and family friends and family and such. It feels like I haven’t seen my own friends for so long, even though I was with them on Friday.

Ahh well, it’s all coming to an end now. Tell me about your holiday season though!!

Today’s rough. Dillan’s leaving tomorrow. I’m actually reacting to this a lot worse than I thought I would, but y’know. Hopefully the next 6 weeks will go quickly.

The past week was fine. Dillan & I went into the city on Wednesday to go Christmas shopping; I bought him a computer mouse (y’know, one of those gamer ones, bitches love gaming mice). In typical fashion he’s yet to get me a gift, but he’ll either get one when he’s back or from Brazil anyway so. I don’t mind. I also got Scar Tissue to read as a related text for English, which I have started a bit but its still early holidays, y’know? Got ages.

Thursday hung out at Dillans, watched Lord of the Rings. I thought it would be the last time I saw him so I was pretty devastated by the end of the day, until I get a txt later that night saying his Mum invited me to her dinner on Christmas Eve & got me chocolates so I had to go. So I did, it was nice, had his mother’s friend over who awkwardly told me I’d marry Dillan, which y’know, is awkward.

But yeah, that’s it. 6 weeks without him. I feel horrible because the goodbye wasn’t… I felt like I had to vomit from anxiety (I reckon) so it wasn’t… whatever. But it’s not like he’ll have Internet access either, so I’ll be… yeah, I’ll stop.

But anyway. Christmas? Yeah, seemed pretty insignificant this year. Had some of the family over yesterday for lunch, spent most of my time looking after my baby cousins (as seen above). Didn’t get anything exciting either so I won’t get into that haha. And today, boxing day, had some family friends over for an hour which was nice I guess, but clearly I have things on my mind so. AND NOT TO MENTION how badly Australia have done in the Ashes today. Jesus Christ.

But yeah, on Tuesday I’m leaving to go see my friend Jess for a week and a bit. I’ll be with her and her family with limited internet so PROBS no blogging, but yeah. I’ll spend New Years with her which I’m hoping will be good, and she’ll keep my mind off Dillan (I hope).

Anyway, hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend & a brilliant new year! I’ll see you all in 2011!

Here we are, 2010. I hope everyone had a good NYE celebration; I know I didn’t. Well, it wasn’t bad, I just didn’t do anything. People went to parties or whatever but I wasn’t invited to any of them. What can you do, though?! Exactly. I don’t have any special 2010 resolutions or aims or goals, I doubt there will be much difference from this year to last. 2009 was an odd year; if you get bored you can watch my “review” here.

But yeah, a week ago it was Christmas. On the day, we got together with Mum’s side of the family & had a barbecue at my uncle’s. It wasn’t that bad of a day, but I guess we all had something to complain about. Our family isn’t necessarily “close”. On boxing day we had family friends over, which was nice. Dad decided to actually build our table tennis table (we’ve had it for a year and a half and its been half constructed for that long), so there was a lot of that going on, and has been for the past few days.

I guess the most exciting part of Christmas is the gifts! Here’s what I got:

L-R; Top: Computer Arts Magazine subscription (!!!), Avengers graphic novel,
Marvel Super Wars feat. The Human Torch & Wolverine + collectors comic, Hulk
figurine. Bottom: Super Hero Squad feat. Iron Man & Spider Woman, Galactic
Heroes feat. Storm & Rebel Troopers, Book; Sherlock Holmes, DVD’s; Public
Enemies, Wanted, Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead

I’ve watched all the DVD’s except Public Enemies, I haven’t started either book, and I haven’t opened the figurines because I have no where to put them (Dad really needs to get me more shelves). The subscription starts this month sometime (that is the Nov. issue, aka some random one I pulled out for the photo). I also got a bunch of make-up, hair care & body lotions (one set came with this tea cup which is practically a soup bowl, its BOSS) from family/family friends.

I guess Christmas & NY hasn’t been that bad this year. I guess it would have been foolish to expect some amazing experience, but I’m really happy with my gifts and I’m definitely spoilt. Anyways, how was your Christmas/Holidays/New Years?
