Wheee, I can has new layout! It's so cleeeean, and simpllllle. I've also set up another LJ to help my Dad with a whole lot of stuff related to getting his church online, and it is ALSO very pretty and has a million gorgeous icons that I can't fit over here. (mostly because I am nostalgic for my cute home-made c/p icons from a million years ago) I wish I could show you guys but it's under my real name and all related to family and churchy things (I had to not pick one icon I liked because it was to seeeexy. Sad day.) BUT, very cool. I will always love this journal the most, oh yeah!

I don't have time for a proper entry but a few things:

I started a new job this week! Eee! It was very scary and hardcore. It's for one of the top jewellery chain stores in NZ and it's pretty intense in terms of their standards and the amount of product knowledge you have to have. I know SO MUCH MORE about diamonds and gold right now than I EVER thought I would. Too bad for me I don't really LIKE diamonds, otherwise I'd be screaming with joy right now. Anyway, was epic. Downsides: location is an hour's travelling away from my house. Also, 25 hours a week. (To reference that, I WAS working 10. :/) Upsides: Cool people, less EEEE STRESSSSS than old job, and HOLY CRAP I'M GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH MONEY. (in comparison to what I was doing...) Oh, and they want me to work full time over the holidays. WIN. So yeah, it's going to be a lot of pressure next term balancing uni and job, but hopefully I'll manage.

Still working on 2 Spn fics. They're both okay? We'll see how they go. Both probably will be about 10,000 words, at around 3,000 now.

Okay, I gotta go finish reading Ernest Hemingway's Green Hills of Africa. It's for class. I don't recommend it to ANYONE. It's 200 pages of shooting rhinos and lions and leopards and oh GOSH it's horrible. STAY AWAY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL WONDERS OF NATURE! YOU CAN APPRECIATE THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO KILL THEM! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

Advice for Refugees gets me every time. i love that even when he's just talking, it sounds like poetry. that one packs such a great punch. i'm glad you like him! one of my lj friends got persimmons (the fruit) tattooed in reference to him after i'd recced him to her XD

yeah, as far as it goes, there are a lot of classics that won't bore you to tears! and stuff like Shakespeare is very rewarding to read.

oh man i didn't even THINK of cash converters, there's an idea... i've been doing that same process, b/c i stuck things in boxes before i left for the states. so much paper recycling...

speaking of hypoglycaemia, i just watched ep 6x01 of SG-1 simply because it has David Hewlett in it and he was cuuuuute as a button back then! *pinches his cheeks*...ugh, i wanna download all his sg-1 eps to take with me on the plane but i can't do it...data cap too low *sighs*. what'd you see? i'm off to bed too. got packing to do tomorrow. and hair dying. and try and fit in a run as i did NO exercise today...
