Vivre Sa Vie

Woke up so early, got dressed, retrieved my phone and walked to the station for a gross trip home
Felt incredibly shit and tried to sleep
Worked at the Bistro and thought I was going to faint
Carlie and Michael met me for lunch, but I couldn't go to the Newtown Festival as planned due to intense hangover
Nathan picked me up and I slept all afternoon and into the night.

Went to Amy's to get a CF card for the camera. She only had a 16MB card, so we could take 5 or so photos, but better than nothing!
Boost Juice close
Caught the train into Central and went to go to Cam's, but found Dee, South America and Josh on the way, so detoured to Chingalings
Back to Cam's for drinks and Connect 4
Uncomfortable snooze on the couch. Set my alarms for an hour and a half's time to get the train home early.

Caught the train into Central with Nath, Amz a couple of cameras and a tripod. Feeling Video Production nostalgia
Interview with Emily and Raquel for FBi website. Their place was incredible
Antique shopping and coffee with Amz
Met Nath and caught the train home
Found my new camera had been delivered. A little too late unfortunately.

Another lovely day at Boost Juice, Cronulla.
Had to work pretty much all day so Matt could go to the members stand at the races for Melbourne Cup.
Was an outrageous 38 degrees! What the heck. Obviously, the place was flooded with tourists and busloads of mingeful Shire and non-Shire folk. TORTURE.
Had my break, ate a cheesburger, lie on the floor and thought about quitting for the millionth time. It's shifts like these that make me hate everyone and everything.
Caught a train to Kirrawee and met Nathan. Home for more thai and some recovery time.

Recovered from my weekend with an all day shift at the Bistro. Kill me.
Preparation for Melbourne Cup in the kitchen enforced an obstacle course. Just what I wanted.
Stupid new girl didn't check the roster, so I scored Mia a shift! Yay. She was a slavery natural.
Nathan picked me up and the three of us chillaxed on the couch. Best part of the day until...
I got home and received my Virgin Suicides and Pierrot Le Fou books. Awesome.

Woke up at Ange's again. But far more hungover.
This time I knew I wanted longer before my Boost torture, so left earlier and squeezed in a nap at home.
Boost torture was worse than expected. Had to keep all of the girls back and we still got out late. Insanely furious.
Nathan picked me up and we got Jai Dee Thai. My garlic and pepper beef didn't taste as good as normal. Another downer.
Sleeptime.

Woke up at Angela's and trekked it back from St Peter's with the girls.
Nathan picked me up and we hung out for one hour before I had to depart for a torture session at Boost.
Back to Ange's family house for Jaimie's 19th and Halloween prep. Dalmation costume as last resort. But killer eyeliner!
Halloween rampage with Ange and Nicole from Jaimie's 19th to a 21st at The Oxford to Pazza's party in Bondi.
Stayed at Ange's again. Dreading the Groundhog Day of tomorrow.

Went to the hairdresser and became even blonder. Didn't think I would ever end up this light of hair.
Paid for the Canon 7D! Eek. So poor now.
Read my horoscope by Susan Miller. Freakily accurate. Thanks Deej.
Sunbaked on the concrete of Nath's backyard, while reading another Tao Lin book.
Stayed home with Nathy, instead of hitting up the town with Amz to celebrate her finishing uni.

Caught an early bus to Miranda and bought a few things from Sportsgirl, a white blazer and plain white singlet.
Close at Boost with Matt. New girls in for trial. Always a hassle.
Met Nicole at Miranda for a long Thai dinner while we waited to see...
An Education (2009). Very cute and relatable film, for me anyway. Beautifully shot as well.
Nathy picked me up. Counting down the days till we can hang out again.

Day off sleep in. So good.
Walked to the post office to pick up some eBay purchases.
Was incredibly stoked with the bejeweled bustiers. Perfect fit!
Filled up my gumball machine with Skittles. What a day.
Tried to brush up on my French. I don't want to forget everything that I have learnt. Je ne veux pas oublier tout cet j'ai appris!

Started reading Shoplifting From American Apparel on the way to..
An all day shift at the Bistro
Had my break with Iain, and got Mick to make creamy pepper chicken with mash. Highlight of the day.
Left early when Nath came to pick me up
Tried to decide whether a video camera would be a better purchase than the Canon 7D. So sick of trawling camera forums.

Open at Boost. Yawn.
Nathan picked me up and we drove back to Surry Hills to drop Dee's car off.
Ate $5 pub meals with Dee and Cam, who were looking worse for wear.
Trekked across town to St Peters to go to Ange's BBQ. Lounged on the sofa watching My Super Sweet 16th. ROF.
Back to the Bistro for a close. Hate double shift Saturdays!

Waited at home patiently for Nath to hand in his thesis
Went in to Uni to celebrate the death of the thesis with Nathan and his nerdy-but-nice science friends.
Left Uni feeling sentimental. Probably won't go back, except for Graduation.
Caught a bus to Central and walked to Surry Hills to Cam's new place for drinks with Dee, Cam and his housemates
Group singalong to the Beatles' songs on the rooftop terrace. Can't buy me loveee...

Mia came over to chill at Nath's with me
Watched Alexa Chung videos on YouTube. Want her wardrobe/life.
Went shopping for a gold chain for my Tiffanys key with Mum and Brenda
Finally bought a chain and recieved my 21st present, almost two years late!
Bought Jai Dee for dinner and waited for Nath to come home. Alas he forgot to pick me up when he did.

Caught an early bus to work and went to Miranda. Sat in the boiling 30 degree sun at the station. So hot and sweaty, I went and bought deodorant.
Boost was hell. Actual hell.
Caught a train in to Bondi and met Iain, Carlie, Michael and Nicole for Beach Road fun.
Continued to destroy my pool reputation with awful performances.
Trained it home and planned for a KFC graduation feast party for Carlie and myself. Couldn't remember this until Carlie made an event on FB the next day.
