I am leaving tomorrow morning for a few days, but when we get back, I won't have access to a computer for a few days, so this is my last post for a week or so.
I would just like to thank all of you who read this, my friends. For you to waste your valuable time reading the unimportant rantings of yours truly, you must really like me! XD
Thankyou for always being a support, a helping hand when I need it. Don't think everything you have done has gone unnoticed.
To my dearest spouse, this is our first Christmas as a couple, and we're spending it apart! *tear*
Thankyou for being my wife for the last 6 months and 18 days, and thankyou for being my friend before that. I can't put into words how much you mean to me, but if I could, I would.
To my antelope. You have been my antelope for going on 4 years now, and the thing I love most about you is that you don't change. Sure you get a new hairstyle or whatever, but I can always rely on you to be consistent, to be steady, to always be there. Thankyou for being my noble steed for the past few years, and I hope you will continue to be for many many many many many more years to come (aka forever).
To my...hmmm I don't have a pet name for you...you can be my Fairy Angel. To my Fairy Angel; My best friend by defult. You know, the ironic thing is, I have never thought of you as just my best friend by defult, you have always been quite high on the 'best friends' list. Thankyou for making life fun and funny, for laughing at inappropriate times, for saying the perfect thing at the perfect time, for saying stupid things like Nurses and Daughters, and for making everyone else happy, even when you're not.
I meant to write you all extensive Christmas letters, but time has defeated me, and I won't have them done by New Years, so they can be Late New Years/Early Australia Day letters.
To all the rest of you who I don't have time to individually write to, thankyouthankyouthankyou. I will be eternally grateful for, well EVERYTHING!!
I shall now quote the piece of paper that I spent an entire Physics lesson filling in with the same two words over and over and over...
MERRY KRISTYMAS!

I'm ashamed of myself
I claim to know you
I claim to be your best friend
But the truth is,
I know very little about you
I mean, I know you and the way you act when you are upset and I know when something is wrong
But I am ashamed to say that in fact, I don't know you
After knowing you for 4 years, it wasn't until Sunday night that I found out what books you like.
That you and I actually have the same taste in music
There is so much about you that I don't know, that I want to know, that I should and need to know.
So, I am going to find them out.
I will spend the next year getting to know you
Asking random questions
Just so I can add them to my memory bank of things that I know about you
Only then can I say that I know you.
I'm sorry I don't know you
It wasn't until Sunday that I realised that I don't
But don't worry,
I will.

I love my mum
Recently, my mum's boss has had a baby, and the other lady who works with mum has been really sick, so mum has been basically running the business.
She has been working full-time; long hours everyday.
So I have been helping out with the cooking and cleaning and washing etc, cuz otherwise I sit on the couch and watch my butt grow.
But she got me a present! I was so sweet, I wasn't expecting it at all!
So I now officially own series 4 of Grey's Anatomy!
I was lying in bed watching them last night, laughing to myself.
It was quite sad really!XD
So in conclusion, I love my mum

Book 16 - The Vile Village
Book Title: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Seventh: The Vile Village
Book Number: 16
Page Number: 256
Page Subtotal: 5066
YAY one third of the way through my goal!
In this book, the children are sent to the Village of V.F.D., or the Village of Fowl Devotees. This is because the children are involved in a scheme involving the saying 'It takes a village to raise a child'. The children primarily live with Hector, the town's handyman and while they are there, they are accused of murder but escape and free the Quagmires who escape with Hector in a self-sustaining Hot air Balloon. Unfortunately Olaf, who is disguised as Detective Dumpin, stops the children from escaping.
This gets a 7 out of 10. It also used to be one of my least favourites, but now I don't mind it.

In this chapter of the orphans' lives, they attend boarding school at Prufock Prep where the buildings are shaped like tombstones and the motto is 'Remember you will die' (it is in Latin, so not many people realise what it means). Their guardian is Vice Principal Nero and Count Olaf is the PE teacher. Here the orphans meet Isadora and Duncan Quagmire, who are triplets but their brother died in a fire that killed their parents also. The triplets are kidnapped by Olaf because their parents left behind very valuable Saphires and Olaf wants to steal them.
