It was your hair that lit the fuse, a golden brown halo like sunlight peering through trees.  

I'm tired and my feet are sore. Which means I've been working! And now I finally found the time for a little bit of an update. I got back from my little holiday on Tuesday. I didn't really go on a holiday, I just went back to my mum's house in Kingscliff for a few days.

Last week on Thursday was my first shift. It went really well and I love working with my fellow employees at EB Games. The in store music is amazing: MGMT, The Ting Tings, The Killers, Kings of Leon and the Presets. Felix picked me up after work and we went back to my place. We discovered this cute little Thai restaurant at the end of my street which makes amazing food. I think we will make it a regular hang out.

On Friday Xander drove me to Kingscliff. A few days before Eden's mum called me on the phone to tell me about his sister's formal arrivals and she invited me to it. Eden picked me up from my mum's place and we drove to the venue. We took a wrong turn and accidentally went where the formal cars were arriving so we had to drive through all these people with the cameras out. It was embarrassing. Eden's sister Abby arrived with all her other friends in a strech Humma (is that how it's spelt, I'm not from the ghetto) and she looked amazing. I couldn't get over the amount of girls in that grade that look like models. After the arrivals I went and had some icecream in Coolangatta with Eden and he talked to me about his issues. He basically just said that he doesn't want me to distance myself from him and he wants to hear from me etc. It was actually a good conversation.

On Saturday I went to the beach with Simon. The weather was amazing for the whole time I was there. I got a slight tan which can't be helped no matter how much sun screen I use. The water was very refreshing and afterwards we went to the juice bar and indulged in some mango. That night I went out into town with Eden and a bunch of friends and met up with even more when I was in there. It was a really good night, except when it was home time it took forever for a taxi to come and so we just sat in the gutter until sunrise.

The rest of my time there was pretty relaxed. On Monday I went to the gym with Simon. I'm aiming to get really fit for Sydney. On Tuesday Xander and Felix picked me up so I got to Felix how amazing Kingscliff is and he also got to meet my mother.

Recently I've been enjoying the film versions of The Dreamers and Lolita. Lolita is definately one of my favourite movies and I really want to read the book. Yesterday I went and saw Quantum of Solace. And I've also been watching Six Feet Under on DVD.

Sounds like you've been really, really busy, but having fun in the process :) Yay for your first shift with the awesome music :O I'd be in heaven haha. I'm lucky with my Australia Post thing in that I'm allowed to take my iPod and listen to music - otherwise, I think I might die lol.

Your trip to Kingscliff sounded fun, too :) It's always great to catch up with friends <3

Yeah the music is good. Sadly it is on one continuous loop so there is the potential to get sick of songs I love. You are so lucky you get to listen to your iPod. I'm so jealous. And I'm jealous of how much you are earning at Australia Post.

Yeah It was fun catching up with people from school. I hope to do it quite often these holidays.

Good to hear your trip was fun!
so we just sat in the gutter until sunrise.
Hahaha. There's something really peaceful about it, don't you think?

Dude, I didn't know EB played such amazing music! No fair. At my workplace, there's the most lame 90s inoffensive pop songs on and it's murder to my ears!

Oh, which Lolita did you watch? The Stanley Kubrick version, or the more recent one with Jeremy Irons? The book is a pretty good read. And how's Six Feet Under going? I was just thinking of buying the first season on DVD.

OMG yes my trip was so much fun. Lol there was nothing peaceful about sitting in that gutter. The amount of men who would walk passed to take a leak on the fence was incredible. And my friend also spewed on that fence.

I know right. This week they played Empire of the Sun and PNAU. Pity about your music at your work.

The Lolita I watched was the version with Jeremy Irons. He is really quite attractive. I didn't even know there was a Stanley Kubrick version. I need to find it. Six Feet Under is amazing. The first season is the one I'm watching now and it's really funny. I'm addicted.

Ahahahhaa, maybe not so peaceful. Actually, that's really gross.

♥ Jeremy Irons. People think I'm weird for liking Scar from The Lion King, but I'm like 'But it's Jeremy Irons!' lol
Yeah, Kubrick made one too! I haven't seen it yet either, but I plan to.

Bought the first season and it's amazing!
