Friday I worked in the morning, then spent the rest of the day/night with my cousin. OK, that part was a bit shit, but whatever.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Chilled all day Saturday, and then went into the city with a mate for some comedy fun.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We started off seeing 'Crossing Over' which featured three comedians: Julia Clark, Don Romeo, and Chris North. Unfortunately, Don Romeo lacked good delivery and just wasn't very funny at all. Julia Clark and Chris North, however, were hilarious.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once that finished at around 7, we ate and wondered around for a bit, before heading to Town Hall, and we got given some free tickets to Wilson Dixon.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'd like to point out here that my friend, Hannah, got ID'd at the venue and I didn't. YAY! :P</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, so Wilson Dixon. HILARIOUS! That's the sort of show I'd go see again.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He's a country singer from Cripple Creek, in Colorado, and his show was about his divorce, and how he went on a road trip with his dog, Biscuit, to get away from it all for a bit.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lines like <i><b><span class="UIStory_Message">"I saw a sign that said 'End Roadworks'. I thought there was better things to be protesting about.." </span></b></i><b><span class="UIStory_Message"></span></b><span class="UIStory_Message">"<i><b>Keith Urban? What kind of name is that for a country singer?..</b></i>"</span><span class="UIStory_Message">.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">He had a hilarious story about his vindictive horse.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Right, after that, we had two hours to kick around until we went to Trade Aid, and we just walked around the city and had ice-cream. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">So, Trade Aid. It was pretty good. They covered Carole King's songs. Lot's of people there, I can hardly remember who, though. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">That went from 11.30 - around 2AM, and we stayed there for another hour or so dancing. Lot's of fun.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Mad hunt for KFC seating and taxi's. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Han and I didn't get home til around 5ish. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Slept for just over three hours, and I went to work. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Less than two minutes after I walked in, we had a blackout. Power came back up and hour and a half later, so, I didn't have to do any real work until an 2 hours after I walked in. WIN!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Shift went alright. Saw my favourite crew person! Yay!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">And yeah. That's all I remember, really.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Hope everyone else's weekend was good.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><b><span class="UIStory_Message"><br />

I earned some cash all day Saturday at work. (Obvious awesomeness)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Went down to Belgrave/Pakenham area to visit the family. So, got to see two aunties and half my cousins. Nothing better than paying $10 bucks to get out of the empty house and seeing family.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. I got offered a paying photo job to do someone's Deb photos.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">4. I've decided what to do with the holiday pay I've earned so far - buy an SLR camera - YAY!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">5. Most importantly, I've been asked to go to America with a friend from work. Sweeeeeet</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">For obvious reasons, I'm most excited about this one. I've always wanted to go overseas, and to America especially. So any extra cash I'm earning (points above) will come in super handy. And camera will be awesome for taking photos overseas, and for earning extra cash in photo job. :D</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">So we're thinking about going in April/May next year. Flying into Maine, I think, and then roadtripping the rest, I think we're going from East coast all the way to West Coast. Sweet. So I need my P's.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">And yeah. Excited.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheers, Alex.</span>Alex Williamsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791761554032360113noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892128126191565457.post-33111730488220735072010-03-08T18:51:00.005+11:002010-03-08T19:04:24.154+11:00Happiness<span style="font-family: verdana;">I realised today that I've been happier these last couple of weeks than what I have the last I'd say 6 months or so. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is good. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I think I can pinpoint it to:</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > Spending time with friends :D</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > More responsibilities and potential promotions at work - Makes me feel pretty good</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > Parental units gone again! ^_^</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > Saw the fabulous Tim Minchin and it was hugs galore</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > I've also been eating more regularly, which isn't necessarily contributing to happiness, but it makes me feel much better, and less stomach-achy.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > I'm budgeting a bit more, so not stressing about bills, and able to go out and buy drinks for friends and actually GO OUT.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"> > The music I've been listening to lately has really just kicked it all up a notch.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">But yes, I think, just going out, having a social life and seeing friends has made all the difference in the world. Less loneliness, more happiness.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">(Hehehe, as I wrote that 'Precious Love' by James Morrison came on.. In fact: </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BYtTfRd6dt4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BYtTfRd6dt4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm linking it up, because that pretty much describes the way I'm feeling... well without the love thing..)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Anyway, thought I'd share that..</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also, got heaps of housework done today, so pretty psyched about that. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheers, </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Alex</span>Alex Williamsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791761554032360113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892128126191565457.post-52018437998682866182010-03-07T01:46:00.001+11:002010-03-09T19:49:20.929+11:00Amish<span style="font-family:verdana;">What are everyone's thoughts on joining an amish community..?<br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span>Alex Williamsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791761554032360113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892128126191565457.post-5642136713372006332010-03-07T01:42:00.001+11:002010-03-07T01:46:01.903+11:00Blogging<span style="font-family:verdana;">OK. So I decided to start a blog, because I was getting sick of not being able to put more into my twitter updates... And I've got a lot of stuff that I think about, and needed to get it out of my head and into the world.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">So, happy reading. I'm not sure how often I'll update..or remember to update, but I'll try and do it weekly.</span>Alex Williamsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791761554032360113noreply@blogger.com0
