My Nintendo and Me

So for like the last two or whatever years since "Nintendogs" was released I have always had this little thing for wanting it. Before you say anything, 1. its me we're talking about. 2. how could you not love it? So I had been always thinking about it and then I was reading through an old issue of Shop Til You Drop! magazine and they had the new released Nintendo Ds Lite as a Must Have of the month. I didnt realise handheld gaming toys did so much! There is a calendar, alarm, and all those other organiser things. A wireless chat technology thing etc on it and yeah. Sure I have most of those things on my phone but eh its cooler. And did I mention the touchpad? Small things amuse me I know.

So when the JBHIFI catologue had the Nintendo DS Lite + ur choice of Nintendog game for only $180 with like an accessory pack included - how could I say no? I was going to just layby but at the new of my promotion finally comming through I thought "f#!k it!" AND brought today in my lunch break. I got the pink one with the dalmation edition. Havent done anything yet as its charging but tomorrow I will give my full opinion.

YAY!

I heart my parentals!

So last night I went to my olds as they're like mortgage lady person was going around to help sort out their finances and what not and I went along to see and ask questions about getting my own homeloan within the next couple of years. It was a real eye opener and I can also see how people get in so much debt so young etc. I can already borrow about $185,000 i think it was. How friggin insane is that??

Anyway once I pay off my car and get my holiday to Melbz end of this year - its all about major cutbacks and taking away of luxuries and all about saving as by the end of next year I plan to have taken over the Unit and start looking at building a house SOO in the next 5 years (if all goes to plan) I will have my own house, complete with rental property. How crazy! I am so luck and owe my olds so much as its thanks to them any of this is even possible!! Most people my age wont get this chance, unless the work on the mines or something or they're olds did the same thing. I am so grateful to them and I hope they know it.

Had abit of a tiff with Mark last night over the previously mentioned "self confessed laziness" I am not his mother. I am not his housewife or any kind of wife (yet....?) or the amazing cleaning fairy who will pick up after him and let him live like the Slob King. Harsh - Yes. But I've had enough. I should just get over it but last time I always had to go over shit and I have changed in certain ways for him and I expect just an inch of the same courtesy. I know what he is like, I wouldnt have him any other way - JUST PUT SHIT IN THE SINK OR BIN AND WIPE THE FRIGGIN BENCH WHEN UR DONE MAKING A MESS ON IT!!! Not a great deal to ask for is it? *big sigh*

Just Life Again.

So I am real happy with my life atm.

Things with Mark are pretty good besides his self confessed laziness which one day I will beat out of him. Work sucks BUT each day is a day of more backpay and in the long run closer to the change to Level 2 - also November and my trip to Melbz. Tonight I am going around to my olds to meet their like financial planner person from the company they do their finances/home loans etc with and I will be asking about getting my own loan to buy the unit when Level 2 comes through. How freakin amazing is that! I could be "owning" my own property! Paying it off but still it'll be mine. Thats something most people my age dont stand a chance of doing esp. with renting prices going up to $200 for a unit like mine and up to and over $500 for a house ... pw. Its cheap to build these days but how can you save etc when renting takes so much of your $? I owe my parentals sooo much for all they have done for me. Im pretty set now. In a couple of years I can use my apartment as an asset or sell it to get a house. How insane. I still cant get the idea of being all grown up in my head. It just doesnt seem right. Only 3 years... nearly 4 I was still @ high school. Spose thats a while ago now but eh.. so weird.

So freakin amazing!!

I GOT TO GO SEE CHRISTINA AGUILERA WHEN SHE CAME TO PERTH!!!!

First of all, the band they had frontin her was... hm... crap. Wasnt liking them one part and I wasn't the only one as the crowd werent really going nuts over them. Besides those in the front 3 rows but i think they didnt really have a choice. They were called Lowrider so yeah... not a fan.

As the main lights disappeared and the stage came to life we were greeted by a video montage thing with the intro on her album, back to basics which was pretty awesome. If you've heard the album it was the exact song into thing as that only with images of her all dolled up in that 1920 style of dress and then images of her inspirations and all that. V.cool

And then to the catchy tune of 'Aint no other man' she came on stage which was soooo awesome. She had a white one piece trouser thing on and hat and it was so amazing to see her live and like right there. It was a really theatrical show as well which only added to the experience.

Dirrty was pretty awesome, she came onstage with a carousel horse which was sooooo great and that went off. Seeing Hurt being performed live was amazing, so was Nasty Naughty Boy - and "Josh" will never forget that night for years to come!! The Candyman sailors were adorable and the dancers were great.

Though nothing was as outstanding or as memorable as Christina's vocals. Seriously, since the show I have listened to the CD a couple of times and what i thought was so powerful seems so flat now. Being recorded doesnt do her justice once you've heard her live.

She pretty much had a different outfit, or altered what she had on for nearly everysong and despite changing so often her few moments off stage didnt make a bit of difference as there was always the band/dancers doing something or a video like the one for "trouble" playing. You were always being entertained. "welcome" with the circusy intro was totally amazing. I listen to the 2nd disc more than the first and its amazing how what I saw on stage matched what was in my mind. I am SO buying the show when it gets released on DVD haha.

I dont know what else I can say. It was amazing. If you dont like Christina there is no way you could've gone and left disappointed. It was pure brilliance. *squeals* I cant wait for GWEN!!! Oooh and I loved her shoes - they were hot as hey! God knows how she ran around and danced in them on stage all night!!

Dreams are just dreams....

So I had the weirdest dream last night. I cant remember all of it just bits and pieces but anyway Charlie (an old best mate from school) was in it. I cant remember exactly why but we (there was a group but i cant get faces) were all going to some big party thing and I was talking to Charlie about Chelsea and Roxy and then about school and then about who we think we'll end up being married to. Me and Charlie used to have like 4 -5 hour long talks about the most randomest stuff so maybe thats what that was all linked to but anyways... he ended up getting in the wrong car and i had to sit with the people I went to kwinana high with but i really didnt want to and he went in a car with the guys from knocked up and we went down different lanes of the freeway turn off and we yelled out to each other but it was to late and we were stuck going out seperate ways and that was when I woke up at a lovely time of 3.42am and all I could think about was Charlie. By the time I managed to quieten my thoughts it was nearly 5 and Marks alarm woke me up at 530 and so I grumbled my way through snooze till 7 when I had no choice to get up.

But even now I cant stop thinking about Charlie. I heaps miss him - maybe thats all this is about. I sent him a txt just saying hi and might call him laters but i have this weird unsettled feeling, like when you over a bump to fast in the road and ur tummy gets all shaken. Weird.

A friend of mine needed to get some info (about a completely unrelated topic that im not going into as its 100% irrelevant) from an email in her bfs account as she no longer had it in her account and it would be on one she sent to him. His password is same for pretty much everything and he knows she knows them. So when she was looking for this email she wasnt sure where it would be - knowing he saved it she checked the obvious file first. Saved Files. What she wasnt expecting was 2 emails from some chick called Natasha. Opening up we figured out she comes from Russia, a kindy teacher and thought her bf was a romantic great kind of guy and while the emails were not exactly explicit in wording or anything like that there was something there would upset every girl who came across emails like this in her bfs account. My friend and her partner have had a real rough time and in her past relationship she was cheated on and i think slightly over-reacted but she had cause to. If Mark had those emails I would flip, maybe not break up over but make his life hell for awhile.

But isnt this what love really is? Giving someone the power to absolutely hurt you but trusting them not to. Without trust there can be love - can they come back from this? It all comes down to finding the person who loves the you that you love - and trusting them not reject or change that part of you. Like in Bridget Jones when Darcy tells Bridget "I like you, just as you are." But what do when that trust is broken? It can take years to trust a person and only seconds to destroy it. You'd think with something so precious people would be more careful and keep more guarded but you can only keep the walls up for so long.

Who knows?

3 Days....

So today is the 3rd day in a 3 part mini series known as "enrolments". First things first, I have never been so bored before in my life. Well actually I have been - its known as First Semester Enrolments and Mid-Semester Enrolments from last year. So pretty much when ever I have had to do enrolments = boringest time of life.

On the + I get paid for doing little more than nothing, with overtime included. Well that is until I get back the bookshop ready to count floats/do dbs/etc and everything is a nightmare. I dont know how it can all get so FUCKED UP but it does. Well not with Me and Debz tills but.... the special one seems to have an ability for it. No idea how. Ahwell

So working till near on 8 for the last 2 days hasnt been fun. I am missing Mark more than id admit and just walk in the door and hold him for that closeness and let my ggrrr mood from the day and all the shitty/boredom and everything else that went on just disappear. But besides the thought of getting home and getting cuddles, the overtime I'll be getting and then working back till 6 for the first 2 weeks of term is helping me through this frustrating time as i am giving all my overtime $$ to Mumsy to hold onto and combined with my tax will hopefully be enough for my share of the hire car and plane ticket for Melbz as I am going in November no matter what and for once Mums like yeah you should go instead of lecturing me so I am taking that as a good sign and that I AM going. Yay! Melbourne!!

*yawn* so bored.....

Life with Mark

So we're going onto 3 weeks of having Mark moved in. Dam time flies. But thats beside the point.

So the Mister moved in, while we're still sorting out the spare room (my shit vs. his shit) everything is pretty settled. Life is well good. No great. Sure we've had a few problems leading to a few fights with ultimate line - "MOVE BACK 2 UR MOTHERS THEN!" - but thats all bound to expected.

He cooks, so when I come in from work its just being served (gets the timing right every time) and I do the dishes after. Im trying to resist the urge to pick up after him as I am determined to make him do it himself so his lazy slob side dies. But I like the look of a clean living area and so make an effort to make sure my stuff is in the bin/away/etc and be happy with that. And then just be a sarcastic bitch until he puts his stuff away etc. Its his first time away from the mum fairy who does everything for him so I try to give him a break but I swear some of it just comes to laziness and stupidity. Gotta love him.

But yeah otherwise its great. There really is nothing better than going to sleep and waking up next to the one you love, everday. Everything is just feeling so right. We're also planning our first kinda like 'major holiday' away to Melbz which I am heaps excited about since he will then be able to meet the infamous Sharmaine and yeh :)

So all's right in the life of Jen even now she is living with Mark!

Tomorrow can be to late.

I got this as one of em them annoying fwd emails and stuff but I really like and agree with this one so thought i'd post it, if not just for the fact to remember it later on incase I ever forget.

If you're mad with someone and nobody's there to fix the situation. You fix it. Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend. And if u don't, tomorrow can be too late.

If you're in love with somebody, but that person doesn't know tell her/him. Maybe today, that person is also in love with you. And if you don't say it, tomorrow can be too late.

If you still love a person that you think has forgotten you tell her/him. Maybe that person has always loved you. And if you don't tell her/him today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you need a hug of a friend ask her/him for it. Maybe they need it more than you do. And if you don't ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you appreciate tell them. Maybe they appreciate you as well. That if you don't and they leave or go far away today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you love your parents, and never had the chance to show them do it. Maybe you have them there to show them how you feel. That if you don't and they leave today, and then tomorrow can be too late.
