and it was a freakn scorcher of a day today... crispy fried julie.
anyways, i wish i had have been in adelaide for my birthday, it would have been nuts and fun as heck, but having a bit of a gathering next weekend instead on a non-school night.
so... a recap of thirty years in the life of me...
thought i was finishing high school with no issues then like term 4 of my final year get told my curriculum is all screwy and that i wouldnt actually get a certificate.
a year later got pissed off when they sent me a letter saying 'we want to know why people like you dont finish high school' and rang them going 'well get your freakn counsellors to sort their shit out...' and then they decided one of the subjects that i had done DID meet the new curriculum requirements and that they'd give me the certificate after all. tossers.
went on a cruise to vanuatu and noemea with a few girlfriends... oh i have never drunk so much in two weeks EVER before or EVER again!
put on so much weight and lost my ability to feel after dating a complete and utter wanker for like 4 1/2 years... ho hum...
got screwed by the government job i had had with much success for some time so ended up going into private enterprise... and then like back into another government dept. did temping, took some jobs that were supposed to be permanent and got made redundant from one and quit a few...
completed ten years or there abouts on community radio...
managed to interview some awesome people... richard terfry aka buck 65, adam hills, tripod, muffin and karen from brassy...
