(T)IIIIIIITS CHRISTMAS!!

Hey, just a pre-christmas catch up with everyone! Its been a bit quiet lately, because ive been seriously poor still. I rectified this by getting a job with an outbound call centre for a bit, but unfortunately, i ignored my finely tuned pikey radar, and worked with them for a week, before realising that i was working for a bunch of pikey, money grabbing, robbing bar-stewards.

It was an outbound call centre, I was going to stick at it for a few weeks, but got into a bit of an argument with the boss on how shite the training was, and i couldnt sell, if i didnt actually really know what it was im selling. So he let me go. Still, made about $600 in pay, which wasnt that bad. They said id get it in a week, then they said 'oh no, actually, its two weeks'. Now two weeks and a day have passed, and i still dont have my sodding money...Which is nice over xmas! Should have seen it coming.

Its fairly annoying, because that was my xmas money, and i was also going to book myself a ticket to Mildurra to do some farmwork with it, but obviously, if i dont have the money, then i cant do that yet *sigh*.

Saying that though, its not all been bad. Last weekend was pretty fun. Everyone in the house has gone off to sydney for xmas / new years, and Joel my roommate isnt even coming back..hes off to newzealand, and then going home!

Because of that, we all had a proper Christmas roast dinner, with turkey, stuffing, roast potatos sprinkled in Parmasan cheese (fecking gorgeous!) and cauliflour cheese (really fecking gorgeous, specially considering i dont like cauliflour!) and the works. Although we had passion pop instead of wine, to give it the backpacker touch! It was really good. After that we had a game of charades / pictionary on this blackboard that me and gosbee stole a few weeks ago, when he was over. That was really fun. Youll have to see some of the pictures. Im waiting for my 'Timberlake - Sexy back' charade to come up on facebook. it was a work of *coughs* art. :P

Then after that, I played for an hour at a gig for earth hour, and got fifty bucks and a crate of beer, which was better than a kick in the teeth. ran into a friend id met up in sydney a while ago, and lost touch with, so that was also cool. Ill probably catch up with her later..

Oh, and the night before, everyone in the house was going to go down the casino, so (probably rather stupidly consdiering the financial situation) I went there too. Just took $20...made $20, lost $35, but never mind. I hadnt been to this one yet, and had heard it was a really nice place to go out, so i thought id give it a go. It wasnt a bad night out, but i think that was more the company than anything else. Its just a casino at the end of the day.

I think im only saying that, because i didnt win $2'000'000! :P

This weekend, obviously funds depending, a load of mates are going for a meal tonight at a resteraunt, and then having a bbq on the beach tommorrow. Ill definately be going to the bbq, but i think i might give the resteraunt a miss. Cook myself a staple meal of Tuna, pasta, and onion instead! :P mmm...

Oh, and boxing day, ive got the tickets to the ashes with Paul Welland, his gf Phoebe, and a load of his mates, so that should be really good. Hopefully the good weather'll hold. theres talk of rain, which would be bloody annoying!
