Oh NOEZ! He bought fireworks!

Fireworks are illegal in Australia. Here they're sold to anyone over 14 for ten days prior to Guy Fawkes.

Happy 2nd Birthday!

To my blog!

A man should enhance your life, not validate it.
The Cinderella Complex:
Expecting a man to come along, sweep you off your feet, fix all your problems and you'll live happily ever after together.

The opposite of that is a woman who finds a man who 'needs' her and she attempts to 'fix' him and he'll be grateful and they'll live happily ever after...again.

IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD WORK!

I love it when a plan comes together!

FINALLY!

Found tenants for Nana's house. They want most of the furniture too. So I don't have the stress of sorting, moving and storing furniture. I'm hoping to get everything that isn't staying moved out this week. That way it'll just need cleaning once the builders have finally finished fixing the two holes in the ceilings and the gouges in the doors that Nana's wheelchair made. It will be a huge stress off me when its sorted.

I DESPISE being ignored. What makes it worse is when I make it clear I don't like it, and the other person tries to make out that its either my fault, or give some other bullshit 'reason' for it. Take responsibility for your own actions. What? You didn't expect me to get upset? You should know me better than that by now. Stop being so fucking rude. I don't do it to you, so don't do it to me.

The Challenge...

To go 12 days without getting 'off'. Can I do it?

Can I do it without going insane? lol

My Camera that I bought last year!

It's definitely 2004 when you can buy a 4-megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom lens that takes great pictures for just $300. Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-P73 is no stripped-down "entry-level" camera, it sports features like a 5-point auto focus system, manual exposure control, multi-pattern metering, scene modes, histogram display and a fast image processor that allows it to capture up to 4 Fine mode images per burst.

The compact and stylish DSC-P73 lets you compose your shots with the optical viewfinder or use the high-resolution 1.5-inch color LCD monitor. In addition to 4-megapixel still images the DSC-P73 captures full motion video in VGA resolution at 30fps with sound (requires Memory Stick Pro media.) Want more wide angle or telephoto coverage? Sony has a wide angle and two telephoto conversion lenses made especially for the DSC-P73 (and the 5-megapixel DSC-P93) as well as a host of 30mm filters.

The DSC-P73 is powered by a pair of standard AA type batteries, Sony includes a set of 2100 mAh rechargeable NiMH batteries that can capture up to 410 pictures. Also included is a NiMH charger that handles a pair of AA or AAA size cells. Downloading images and movies to your computer is simple and fast thanks to its high-speed USB 2.0 interface. And you can use the same USB cable to print directly to the Sony DPP-EX50 Picture Station or any of today's PictBridge-enabled photo printers, no computer is necessary.
