In all funness...

Howdy, people! Wow, upbeat, huh? I'm in a good mood for once, well, sort of. My 12 year old sister brought an MP3 player today and I'm pissed off because I think she's too young to have one. Mum didn't listen to me, though, and let my sister buy it, forking over the extra money needed. It shits me. She's far too young and irresponsible to have one. Kids are getting far too much, far too young. MP3 players, mobile phones, even the clothes some of them wear.

But cast that aside and I had a good day. Spent most of the time out shopping with my mum and sister. We went to Traralgon plaza where I brought some new tops, really pretty ones, too. Mum brought some new shoes and we had a look around. I saw a friend of mine there. She was arriving at the same time we were and then she ended up leaving at the same time we did. Purely coincidental. After the plaza we went to ALDI to get a few things. Great store, ALDI. Worth going to.

Mid Valley was the next, and last stop. As soon as I walked in the door I saw my Kitty. She was working the Saturday shift and I didn't even know it. I talked to her for a bit and then my sister came running up to me to tell me that one of my other friends, Jovielyn, was in Valley pets with her son, my Godson, Anthony. Anthony is the cutest kid you will ever see. He's Filipino so he's got the whole, dark eyes, dark skin, and dark hair going on. So gorgeous. I talked to them for a while, after following Anthony around in Valley Pets, in which he ran around like mad, touching every thing he could. "Ooh, fish. Ooh, mouse." It was so cute.

I ran into a million people. We had lunch in the food court and mum went off to Safeway while I sat with the trolley on one of the tables. I hadn't been sitting there long, when Bethany and Patrick, Greg's sister and her boyfriend saw me and came to sit down. They ended up eating their lunch with me and we had a nice talk. After that, I did some more shopping and they seemed to be everywhere I went. EB, Target; there they were. It was pretty cool.

We saw a few more people as we were walking around. But we left pretty quickly after that. I also finally decided to buy The Da Vinci Code and it is now sitting on my bed, waiting to be read. I have to try and finish Northern Lights by Philip Pullman before I start it. I'm having trouble getting into that book but that's only because I haven't had the time to actually sit down and read it.

There were no ill effects from last nights blackout, either. At about 930pm-10pm the power for the whole of Moe and Newborough went off, for no apparent reason. My neighbor and I heard a pop as it happened so we think that a transformer (not the cartoon kind) blew up. Everything came back on about an hour later. There seem to be no side effects.

I couldn't call anyone from Yallourn North, but I heard speculation that parts of Yallourn were out. That was never confirmed.

So now, I'm sitting at my computer, drinking a drink that I conjured up with my Magic Bullet (Yay) and life is good. I got a new book, new clothes, a new movie (Hitchhiker's Guide...) and a new waiter's friend, so at the moment, I'm pretty relaxed.

I wrote a new poem while I was in class yesterday. I'll post it after I've typed it up.
