Hello, hello.
Yes, I know that I haven't been online much to report my progress in Broken Hill over Christmas and new years, but... Well. I was busy trying to waste time.
Broken Hill is one of the most boring places in the world, if you've lived there most of your life anyway =(
Christmas was ok, got a lot of crap that I really had no use for. But then, I really didn't expect anything else from my mother. But my dad gave me a cash injection that was very much appreciated (and actually on the list of things I asked for). Oh, and a few days after Christmas, I got my 21st present from my grandparents. For all those who play along, you'll notice that my 21st was in APRIL! The funny thing is that I'm still waiting for a 21st pressie from my mother =s.
Anyway!

After Christmas I wasted more time in the shop waiting for Carl to get in via the train. That was probably the highlight of my trip because that's the only good thing that happened. It was really nice to see him, and to break the monotony of working at the shop everyday. The next few days were a bit random as our time together usually is, and then we headed out to the Black (the Black Lion Inn - my watering hole of choice in BH). Met up with some old friends from high school, and ended up tagging along with them to the next pub (the West Darling) where I saw even more people that I knew from school! It was just crazy... And slightly drunken (it was 2 in the morning!).
Other than that... Nothing much to report. New years was quiet. We stayed up talking to my dad past midnight drinking socially while my mum dozed in the loungeroom. Crazy fun all around!!! No, it was actually pretty cool.
The next few days were then spent getting ready for our depature back to Adelaide which was supposed to be by train. Well, there was a freight train derailed on the line the day before and the Indian Pacific couldn't actually depart from Sydney, so they put a bus on... Ok, I've done the trip by bus plenty of times... Except they had to follow the train line, so we took about an hour extra circling AROUND Adelaide then coming in from the wrong way!! (by bus anyway) It was very odd.
Anyway. I hope you all had a nice Chrissy and new years. Thanks to those who replied to my sms's, and to Tim for actually putting a comment on here. It's nice to know that someone cares enough to see how I'm going.

Oh, and for all you people who can't get enough of my blogging (seriously, who wouldn't?!) My flatmate has signed up for ADSL... So you will now hear a lot more from me, maybe with a whole new look for the new year =)
