Well hello there!
I am back, you may have noticed my absence or perhaps you aren't as avid a bunch as I thought. Let me clear this up, I AM back and by back I mean I feel alive again.
I didn't write about it on my blog before because I hate the idea of having an online whinge and being a poor-me style blogger. I had my Gall Bladder out 2 weeks ago and felt like death herself for a couple of days. I've managed to bounce back, finally, which is lucky because Fabian was in hospital too.
He did his knee at soccer a day before my operation and hasn't been able to move it since! In the meantime he's had to deal with a deep vein thrombosis, blood thinners, a bleed, immobility and finally things are ok and back on track with him too.
We are totally balls at the health thing, but we figure it out somehow.
I sit here bruised, missing my gall bladder and ugly, looking at my boyfriend with his swollen, damaged leg that'll probably need surgery and I can't help but realize how lucky we are because we're together and in love and somehow we aren't too jaded.
So let me fill y'all in on what's new in relatively quick dots points
- This post is being created on my brand spanking new iPad that I bought while Fab was in hospital so he'd have something to play with. See, at the time I didn't know how long he'd bein there for and I'd wanted to buy an iPad for ages so when there seemed a good reason to buy one...I did! Of course, he got discharged that morning, but it doesn't matter because we're loving it.
-Skyrim is kick ass still, which is great. Fab bought that for me as a way to take my mind off the upcoming operation and the pain etc, which was very sweet of him and has proven useful for doing just that. We're playing it on the new flat screen and playstation3 we also bought...yes, almost all savings down the drain...and it's great. Good, big purchases, not lost on everyday stuff.
- Weight loss is going very well too, the operation helped that along a bit I must admit! Im 8kg down since I started watching my food ect in October so I'm over the moon about that, I don't think I'd classify myself as chubby anymore.
- I have realized how precious all my friends really are. They've been wanting to visit loads and I even got 2 cards. CARDS people, how old school and awesome is that!? I've also got to spend heaps of time with my sister which has been really, really cool.
- Mum gave me a sewing machine. It's going to be my latest project...watch this space.
That's all for now, expect more updates now that I'm up and about.
Love,

Why resolutions aren't shit and why i'm so happy
I haven't had any new years resolutions for the past 2 years, more because I couldn't really think of any rather than that I think they're crap.
This year I had a few though and I was really compelled to make them stick, so they're written into my beautiful new diary and I am telling everyone so that they can help keep me on track.
1) be less fat (I have lost 5kg since the end of October! woo!)
2) wear more heels (I have lovely legs and I look nice in heels, but i'm often to lazy to wear them)
3) Only do what I want to do.
4) Start an online store for my pottery/creative ventures
Okay, the explanation for 3) can't be summed up in a quick sentance between brackets. I have had enormous trouble the past couple of years with my will power. It's very tricky to try and explain it but i've cared far too much what others have thought of me (an issue I never had in the past) and feelings of obligation have placed me in situations I find boring, unsatisfying and draining.
This year, i'm not doing any of it. I made a massive discovery towards the end of last year that has really given me the strength to make some big changes. I have been really happy this year so far, that sounds silly but the happier I am for longer periods of time the more motivated I am to stay that way.
I hate feeling like there are things I should be doing but can't for whatever reason. That's why, this year the moment I realise there is something I should do/want to do I do it or start the process immediately.
It's been really liberating.
And, speaking of which I just remembered my car is a mess and has been for almost 6 months now - so i'm off to clean that up a little.

Fireworks, near death and diarrhea
Wow, that's a subject title that pretty much promises to deliver.
Yesterday was spent with my dear group of friends which consists of about 15 boys. The day before NYE I recieved 3 txts which summarises my friends pretty well, they went like this...
G: Hey poo bums tomorrow NYE come to mine after 9:45pm for a big sausage pizza. Bring a bottle of absynth, EACH.
C: Brock vs Overeem and BBQ good times, my place from 12. UFC starts at 2pm. Txt back so I know how many cows to kill.
S: Yo party people, after C's epic bbq and UFC goodness at 12pm, and before G's epic party and Jewness at 9:45pm, come round to my place for a post fight/pre party bbq at 6pm. I have plenty of beer and meats. Msg back if you're down.
So yesterday was a sausage fest in all ways. The BBQs always consists of mass amounts of meat and very very little salad - (I quote: 'Why is this steak green?') and lots of fun.
Overeem beat Brock which was awesome and Brock then retired so that was exciting. Illegal fireworks were hilariously set of in a tiny space full of people - much screaming, giggling and spear tackling ensued.
Fab and I took a break from the 24hour meat challenge to meat, whoops, to meet with a friend for some thai food. A welcome change.
More fireworks, of course, this time at the beach where other beach goers clapped and thanked us for the show. A mishap with a firework that shot off directly in our direction instead of up...again, more screaming and hilarity.
There were some new years kisses and when it was all over, I came home to find my dog had had diarrhea all over the house.
A wonderful evening all up. In hindsight it was probably a short preview of the year to come, or at least I hope so.
Good friends, new friends, lots of bbqs, silly behaviour, midnight kissing, near death firework experiences and a little bit of shit.
I made a few new years resolutions too, mainly just be less fat, wear more heels and a few slightly more interesting ones that i'll reveal as they hopefully take effect.
