Top 5 of 2008… the bad.
1. Worrying about Neis/screwing around with Centerlink
- While it was awesome getting into Neis, there has been so much stress involved with this process! I’m so glad it’s over.
2. Having a seizure in the shower
- I was on the floor of the shower for more than 2 hours until James found me and the feeling of helplessness is something I never want to repeat.
3. Not being able to wear nice clothes for a while
- I love pretty things and pretty clothes. Not having a style, not having anything I love makes me sad.
4. Going to hospital and so many drs appointments
- I hate doctors. I really really do. Nurses are awesome though.
5. Spending several hours trying to perfect curling my hair for a really important event to have it ruined by humidity.
- Curling my hair or straightening it has never been a talent of mine. Who knows, maybe I’ll perfect it in 2009? Yes I know it’s lame but I couldn’t think of a last one.

This nail art style was from around a month or so ago.
It was the first time I had ever tried doing my own acrylic nails and I loved it! The design is a plain red with pink diamante hearts and tears on either side so it kind of looks a bit like CLAMP style wings. I’ve been pretty obsessed with nails for a long time now but I’ve only had acrylics once before and they were done at a salon. They are really short compared to a lot of people’s nails but I’m still getting used to the idea of longer nails so I thought this was a good length to start with.
Here is some other nail art I’ve done.
I have been a nail biter since before I can conceivably remember and having acrylics are great to combat that because I can fiddle with them all I want but they’re not going anywhere! So yay for nail art!

My boyfriend James (also known as Jimmy America) features fairly heavily in my journal so I thought I’d introduce him a little bit. So without further ado…
Getting to know James aka Jimmy America!
James asked me to include in this bio that he is devilishly handsome and only drools occasionally. At least the former is true.
Also he says that he heard me bragging to my friends that his pleasure wand was unsurpassed. I’ll leave that to your imagination.
On a slightly more informative note, James is a wonderful man. We have been living together for more than a year and still loving every minute of it.
He is a graphic designer and he loves classic cars and 50’s-60’s nostalgia. He has a 1963 Valliant AP5 Regal who I compete with for attention along with his drums/guitar/double bass/bass. James is a fantastic musician.
He is a loving, genuine man and is polite to a fault. If the whole karma theory pans out I’ll be hoping to get by on his good deeds. He’s the link of person who will find a wallet full of money and spend his own to try and return it to his owner. He spends half of his life trying to get me to relax and de-stress. Even though James hates tea he still makes it for me. I don’t think I’ve met anyone nicer in my life.
Most importantly Mr. Jimmy America puts up with me!
