Never Assume Anything or...00:05 Dec 10 2008

Well hello! It has been a long time since last I updated, and I know there are many things I've had to write here, but since it's taken me so long to get around to posting, I've forgotten what most of them were.
I would however like to begin by pointing out to the people of Dunedin that I am not infact dead, as many people have been lead to believe. My mum told me this over the phone...
Last year I was working at a Shell station with a woman named Anne-Marie, and apparently someone came into the station recently and had said to her, "The wee girl who used to work here, I heard that she died a couple of weeks ago". So Anne-Marie was shocked by this, and told my boss, who has connections with my family. Eventually half my family were upset and confused thinking that I'd died, when the story got to my Aunt Catherine and eventually to my mum who are close friends, and my mum was like, "What? I was on the phone to her two days ago". Apparently what had happened was that a girl named Freya had infact died in Dunedin and was around my age, so of course Dunedin being a small place and Frey/ja being an uncommon name, people jumped to conclusions. I heard she died of a drug overdose, so I'm a little offended that anyone mistook her for me. This is the second time in a year that I've been presumed dead, and if that isn't an accomplishment then I don't know what is!
Also, I've been saddened by the fact that I had to take one of my collarbone piercings out. It had grown almost all the way out by itself, so I had to remove it, and now have only one left which looks weird. There's a nasty bruised cut where the other one was. Sadly the remaining one is beginning to grow out aswell, but I'm not surprised, everyone's told me that surface piercings grow out after a few months, and I've had them in for over 9 months now. When they've all healed up, I'm going to get four dermal anchors put in to replace them. Elaine Davidson herself offered to pierce my lip a second time for free to even them up so I'd have one on each side and one in the middle, but I said I'd think about it. I'm in the process of building her a new official website, I'll give you all the address when it's done!
I'm also fairly crook at the moment, I feel alright, but my mum's going mental at me for not having seen a doctor yet. The other morning I coughed up about a half teaspoon of blood, which is more than usual, and I keep coughing up bits of black stuff too. I'm very tired but otherwise I feel alright as far as fevers and colds go. I've nailed my back somehow, so that's been pissing me off a treat over the last few days, especially because I'd just recovered from having buggered my neck. Things are going swell. I blame the illness on flyering in the freezing cold for six hours a day, I also feel like I'm being picked on alot at work recently, so I'm not having much fun there anymore. Hopefully things will improve once winter is over. The other night I was out there flyering to a dead quiet street and it was -6˚C, and a couple of nights after that I out there being snowed on. I asked my boss for indoor work but I don't think I'm going to get any.
Christmas is creeping up horribly quickly, I have no idea what to get for Paddy or what to do for Christmas day. I'm also stumped as to what to get for my secret santa person at work because I managed to pick someone whom I don't know all that well. I can't believe it's almost the end of the year, and I really can't believe that I've been away from home for over seven months. The end of the year is a good time for reflection I suppose, and I think that in overlooking the year gone by, I've achieved a fair bit. I've achieved my lifetime goal of going to Scotland, I've been to many fascinating places, learned heaps, met lots of great people, found a boyfriend that it looks like I'll have forever, met a few celebrities, and had lots of fun in the process. Now there's the fun job of deciding what to do with next year.
Well it's late and I promised myself I'd work on that website tonight, so I ought to be doing that rather than this. If I remember any of the other things I wanted to post up here, I shan't hesitate to do so :)
