Style, Profile

Something I learnt today: How to use my digital camera (I can only hope it's sunk in...)
Something that made me laugh today: Sitting around with Suze, Sean and JB after lunch.

Family (One side at least) christmas lunch thing today. Oh joy. I always hate these things. I'm sitting there with people I like, but somehow in a group I don't feel comfortable with all of them. There are things you'll say to your sister and boyfriend that you just aren't comfortable saying infront of your grandparents. So your grandparents and mother dominate the conversation and I have absolutely nothing relevant to contribute (God bless the "kiddy table"). So yeah, was glad when that was over.

It's been hard saying good bye to people. I'm only gone for four and a half weeks, but it's the longest I've ever been away from home, and I realistically can contact them, but only intermittently and I won't even be able to know when this will occur in advance. I'm scared that I'm going to piss everybody off because I won't call them as much as they want to hear from me (that realistically is impossible for some). It's like when Den went to Canadia. He was too busy to miss his girlfriend.

So yeah. Emotional weekend. Had "heated discussions" with JB. Dunno if you'd call them fights. I'm a little upset and a little heartbroken but there ain't anything to be done to make me feel better. Poo. But at work this morning (discussions were last night) I was very sad and Nai asked me what was wrong. It got summarised in a sentence to her. Later she sees me at my register and tells me to smile. 20-30 minutes later she just walks past my register and hands me a strawberry freddo frog. I was a bit confused. Turn it over, it's got a security seal on it (meaning she's bought it for me) and she tells me to cheer up, smiles and walks off. Sweet girl.
