About time...

I thought it is about time for a new post.

Quite a few things have happened in the past six months. For starters I now have a five week old brother called Julian Edward. He is just lovely. A real cutie. Sadly bad news seems to follow the good news.
My Shenna died three months ago. It had been coming for some time, but doesn't make it any easier. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the funeral, (Lack of funds) which I was quite upset about. Could also be that I'm feeling rather guilty for not having seen him for a number of years.
I moved back to Adelaide just over three months ago now. Very happy to be back. Currently looking for a flat of my own. Which is a lot harder than you would think! But I'm hopeful that I will have my own place within a month. *Fingers Crossed*

I shall update this tomorrow as it is two-thirty am and I'm thinking I should get some sleep. Big day of house hunting ahead of me!


Edit: Didn't get to bed until 4.30am. Was mesmerised by the Obama inauguration coverage.

I've just spent a small fortune on faxing housing applications. The grand total so far is $37...If I can get a flat out of it then it will be worth it...I hope.

All these years I have been under the impression that I am my own responsibility. Apparently not. According to my step grandmother, my Dad and Step mum are still responsible for me. Didn't realise I was still 15.

Woo!

I've got some good news for a change.
I recieved a text message from Sarah this morning to say that Avril has given birth and I have a new baby cousin! Joseph Peter Derwent =D

My birthday is in two days, which awesome. I'm really looking forward to it. Mum and I are going to the Wine & Truffle for lunch. I've never been there before but it sounds nice. It's a cellar door restaurant thing. Saturday Mum, Tony and I are going out for dinner for Mum's birthday. Buffet thing I think.

I started a new job on Saturday. The money is good but my boss really needs to hire a third person. We get really busy and while she is in the kitchen cooking, it's just me out the front, serving, cleaning, clearing tables and making coffee etc. When we get really busy, I need a helping hand. It's impossible to do everything by myself. I'm going to see how I go but if she expects me to do it all myself and tells me I'm not moving fast enough, then I'll quit.

Death

I was told some very sad news on Friday. Kent's Sister Lanna committed suicide on Thursday.
Obviously everyone is still in shock. Out of everyone I know, Lanna is the last person I thought would do it. It really makes you think. Such a waste of a life. I really want to go to her funeral but being over here means I can't unfortunately. I don't have the cash. I can't imagine what Kent and Av are going through. Or Mr and Mrs Derwent for that matter. Audrey won't remember her Aunty either. She's only 2 years old. How could she leave everyone behind like that? Especially gorgeous little Audrey??

On a happier note, I've decided to move back to Adelaide. I'll be moving in October. My airfare will be booked in the next few weeks. I know it may seem like I'm running away again but it's more than that. At the end of the year, I'll have a new brother or sister and I really want to see it more than every 6 months. I want it to know me as a brother/sister should. I want to be able to babysit and spoil it as a big sister should.
Plus I miss all my friends and family.
I'm also sick of having nothing to do here. I hate having to travel 1 1/2 to Bunbury to go to the cinema's or to go clothes shopping. Western Australia is so backwards most of the time. There are only 2 supermarkets here. Plus back home I have my friends and stuff to do. Does that make sense?

I'm looking forward to my birthday. Even though I'm not doing anything, It doesn't bother me anymore. I've got the rest of my life to do things on my birthday. Plus It's not like I'm totally alone on my birthday. I have Mum and Tony and that's all that matters really.
