Tasmania, and how Amber and I met

Four years ago I was happily unaware that people actually lived in Tasmania. Then one day I was talking to someone online...

Me: So where are you from?
Him: Tasmania
Me: LOL! No really, where are you from?
Him: ...Tasmania?

I quickly ran downstairs to tell my friends the news.

When I grow up I want to be....

Like most little girls, I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up.
Unlike most little girls, I did not want to be any of the following:

Movie star

Vet

Princess

Ballet dancer

A bit of seriousness

So I've everyone about my drunken adventures here and here. While they are funny to laugh at, they are also kind of horrible if you think about it. When I'm drinking so much that it's interfering with my job, that's bad.

So I am giving up drinking during February - for charity!

If you want to sponsor me, click here. There are four different charities that the money raised will go to.

Rainbow Youth which provides support for LGBT teens.

Evolve - a Wellington youth service.

Care NZ - a free addiction support service.

ADHD.org.nz - a online ADHD support group.

So all very worthy causes which I back 100%

And I will hopefully publish a post tomorrow - I borrowed Skyrim so that's been taking up all of my time for the last week.

Why I don't like New Years Eve

I will start off this post by saying that I do not like New Years Eve. I never have liked it, except for 1999, because that was pretty awesome. But as I grew up I never saw the fun in it. Getting disgustingly drunk and making a fool of yourself, just because a calendar changes over? WE MADE THE CALENDAR. It never made sense to me.

However, this year was the first year I've been excited for New Years Eve. And I was reminded why I should never get excited about things, because things never go as planned.

This is how I thought New Years would go.

I would drink in the garden with Frank.
