Stolen from emmagrant01:

01 take a picture of your bag.
02 now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture [no matter how embarrassing].
03 talk about the items inside. details, plz.

( I don't clean out my bag very often :/ )

Man I'm gross. I chucked lots of this stuff out now that it's seen the light of day, promise!

OMG, must sleep now. I got home at 2 am this morning and had to get up at 7 for work :| But it was so great seeing my Fraser peeps ♥

( the childhood meme )

Basically, we've always been comfortable. We didn't have a lot of spare money when I was a kid, but we managed to do some extra things like holidays. Recently we've become a lot better off (like, it's kind of ridiculous) because people keep dying, which really isn't the ideal way to get rich.

I really have nothing to say. Things are going fairly well at the moment. I have to relearn all of 7th Form* Japanese in the next 10 weeks :/ That year had the lamest topics too, ugh industry. At least TeniPuri has taught me all the sports vocab I struggled with in the summer before Year 13~! Clearly I just need to find the right anime to learn each set of vocab and I'll be set.

*It seems I've been caught in some kind of limbo between the changing names for school years. I still think of Primary and Intermediate in the old terms (J 1-3, Standard 2-4, Form 1+2), and High School is 50/50 divided between Forms and Years. The sister, who's 3 years behind me, talks entirely in Years. It kinda sucks being stuck in the middle of everything. My High School transcript is also a mess, with mostly NCEA, plus School C Maths and Geography, 6th Form Cert Maths and Japanese, and Bursary Stats :/

~ I tried Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for the first time ever yesterday at work, after hearing about the mythical things for years on the internets... I don't really see what the fuss is all about. They were too salty for me :/

~ The Teddy Band t-shirt is the cure for all ill in the world. Seriously. Last night at work I was really stressed and angry at everything, and saw how much there was going to be to do today and wanted to cry... this morning I put on that shirt and went to work, and despite finishing half an hour late I was in a remarkably good mood all day :D

~ Relatedly, shouldn't I be working less during exam leave, not more? I've done an extra 4.75 hours on top of my normal 16 this week.

~ Ahaha, apparently a couple of the guys from Sample Reception made out at a party last weekend? Awesome.

~ Dumbledore was gay?! Extra awesome!

~ Exams = not so awesome /o\ First one on Wednesday. I should study lots more (I've written out more study notes for this one exam than I did for all of last semester's put together already! But then, last semester I didn't have to do so well on the exams to make up for shitty coursework). But I'm um, going to the Labour Day races on Monday with Tracey? Because I'm not going to be at work on her last Saturday before she leaves for Australia, and I can't go to her farewell drinks on the 6th because I have an exam the next morning, so I couldn't say no to this as well.

~ Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

ETA: instant messaging, yay? I downloaded Trillian today as a start in my quest to become more active on the internets now that I'm going to have a lot of free time. Add me if you want, though I don't promise any kind of interesting conversation. MSN: smart_girl321@hotmail.com (a rather outdated email address!) or AIM: steffishaims
