another year down


And I'm nearly 23. On Friday, to be exact.
I'm looking forward to my birthday. They are always fun and exciting, and I have a good day planned out. And the birthday party!!!
But I'm not looking forward to being older. That's what scares me. Always getting older, and my life having not turned out exactly how I would have liked it to be.
But I'm not going to complain too much, as I know there are people out there with lives worse off then mine, but I would not say no to a job right now. And I'm really keen for a hairdressers apprenticeship. I just need to find one!!! Argh!!!
But anyway, my birthday. Mum is taking me out for breakfast to Diggies. yumyumyum!!! I might go for a swim, or a run along the beach, go to the gym, and then pole dance at 6.30 pm.
Then I will be going home for AMAZING spaghetti bolognaise and garlic bread, and a movie marathon by myself in my bedroom.
Saturday night I will be partying!!! There is going to be a bit of a house party in the apartment (which mum is getting enough food for to feed an army!), and then into town to dance the night away. So I'm hoping it will be good a night, as I don't want to cry on my birthday (as I've done that too many times in the past...)

January 2010

So I know its 8 days into February, but last month was pretty amazing!!!
January was 12 months since I had been taken off all my anti-anxiety meds and I think I'm going really well. I still have my down days, but I tend to get out of them quicker then before, and I'm feeling a whole lot happier with myself (minus a few things that are out of my control).
January 11 also marked the date of 3 years since the car accident, and 13 months since the hip surgery from the injury I got from the accident - I still get quite alot of pain, but I start going to the pain clinic on March 11, which I hopes goes good and that they can help me deal with my pain better.

Onto better things. I had a bit of a Summer fling. Sure, it was all drunken meetings and doings, but I had fun, and I think it was good for me, as last year I just wasn't happy with myself and didn't want to get involved in any way what so ever with a guy. But now I'm feeling better about myself, I can do these things and it's fun :) Even though it may be a little sad when it ends. But it didn't end in a bad for me, which is what I'm happy about.

I went out heaps with my friends and had great times. NYE, Nats second NYE, Australia Day, a trip to the Powerhouse Museum for the 80's Exhibition, Australia Day parties, and drinking an entire bottle of Absolut in one month (I'm not sure if thats something to be proud about...). And starting pole dancing! I'm having so much fun at pole, and I'm planning on continuing on after this six week course.

And now it's already February. I swear each year goes faster then the last, as it's already nearly my birthday!!! I'm getting older, and I'm not too keen on it, even though one of my good friends told me that 23 is a really fun age - so I'm hoping to have a lot of fun this year. And I'm having a birthday party!!! I love birthday parties :) I'm going bake my own cupcakes (and my mum is going to do the icing), so I've got a fair few friends coming over to my house to party, and then into town to dance the night away. I'm actually looking forward to it.

I had a job interview last Tuesday, and I should hear back next week about a job trial. It's for a hairdressers apprenticeship. I really want this apprenticeship. It's in a great place, and close to public transport, and close to home, which is always good. Ive changed my mind, again, about what career choice to take, and I'm currently set on becoming a hairdresser again. I have another job interview for an apprentice hairdresser tomorrow - this one I don't really want, but I'm going to the interview anyway, just to see what it's like, and to continue to improve my interview skills. I just really hope I get a job soon, as I get bored just always sitting at home, or going into town and just looking at clothes I want that are generally too expensive for me. I want to earn my own money. I want to save to go overseas. I want to save money so I can safely move out when I'm ready.

Now, I'm just hoping February is as good as January was (minus the whole fighting with mum). And I think it will be :)
