So I haven't been on here in... months.

So far this year there's been more downs than ups. They include the following:

April; changed employment location. Same job, same people, but 40 minutes less travel time to and from work. Plus a lot better work dynamic.

May; drove my best friend interstate to meet my niece and nephew for the first time for my 21st. Was away for 3 weeks. Got home to find my dog (technically my little brother) of 14 years had died three days earlier.

July; lost my Grandad. He'd been in and out of hospital for months/years, but it was surprising what actually got him in the end.

Due to the above, there's been a TON of retail therapy. My DVD collection has quadrupled in size, I've actually begun reading since the first Supernatural book came out, and I even started clothes shopping every couple of months which is definitely odd for me. Also been spending a heap on candy and SN merchandise, which I think I'm about to go and do again pretty soon.

Probably moving house soon as the parents' divorce is about settled. Will most likely be getting a new car in the mix somewhere there too.

That's about it. :)

Should have posted these ages ago, but heck.

I finally got around to uploading the Hovercrafts photos from The Tote a few weeks ago, and figured I might as well post some of the good ones here. So here we go :)

These photos are originally 1728x1152 pixels. Drop me a line if you want them that big :)

Night!

Well, I have conformed. It's a bit sad. I'll more than likely still use LJ for most, if not all my journalling needs though.

I'm about to spam it with photos from my two-week stay in Melbourne in the next few days. Photos featuring things like seeing The Hovercrafts live at the Tote, egg hunts in Bendigo, Janee making people hott, and touring around St Kilda. The idea of going to Melbourne was to find a job and somewhere to live, but obviously I just spent a heap of money instead.

For now though, it's bedtime. I leave you with a photo from the plane as the sun decended:

Goodnight :)

Aimz.
