So yeah, its been nearly a year since I wrote a journal on this place, and much longer since I put stylus to tablet and actually did anything creative. So here goes I guess.
1: I was mis-diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. So for two years of my life I had basically no energy, painful joints and constant headaches, all for something that was a simple surgery and was always over-looked by doctors because they just didnt bother or couldnt see the problem.
2: I have been employed for nearly a year now, and its had its ups and downs, but I am enjoying it, even if customers can be so rude to me sometimes I just want to go curl up, hide myself and cry a little.
3: For the past week and a half now there have been bush fires right near me. A little over a month ago there had been another fire, but that didnt get anywhere as near as this one did. This fire of the past week and a half (that is still burning I might add) has destroyed 193 homes in my area and also damaged 109 homes. It is so devastating to go past these houses I had grown familiar with over the past 5 years and see nothing but a burnt out black mess of family memories and lives. This time the fire destroyed houses less than 1km by road from me, but as the bird flies, and the fire burns I guess, it was probably burning all of 400 metres from my backyard. My family and I are so lucky that it did not get to us but I feel absolutely terrible for all the families who have got nothing left anymore.
4: I am approaching the end of my second year at university, and I hate it. I hate the place, I hate the people and most importantly I hate my course. My hatred especially came to the front when I submitted three major essays within a week of each other, got two back, one with a high credit and the other with a mid-range distinction, while the other subject failed me. I had approached them all as the outlines told me to and yet I somehow failed one of them.
5: I have been with my wonderful boyfriend for 5 years now and I am so happy it is ridiculous.
6: I saw Fall Out Boy again just two days ago, and it was awesome, just as they were about 5 years ago when I saw them last. It was kinda a Pete Wentz show, which kinda sucked, but then they let Andy, Joe and Patrick shine and it made the idiocy of Pete not so obvious, which was good.
And I think thats about all I feel like sharing with the internet really. There is a lot more going on, but all this is the largest and most important happenings of the past year. Kinda depressing when I think about it. But, at least I havent been sitting around doing nothing with my life for the past year, I have actually made a bit of a something of myself. So kinda yay me I guess.

SO, seems like my husband has hit a snag with work. Normally he makes more than enough for us to pay our bills and still have some money left over on the side. But the last month and a half or so, he's been getting half weeks, or weeks where he makes 20 hours or less ( he usually works 65 or 70 hours and thats what we live on) so it's been a dram
Well here we are again.
It seems no matter how much I promise myself some time to be creative it doesnt happen. I paint my nails to relax, do a little design on them and then bugger off to do more uni work or some other pressing matter or hell, even just sitting down and numbing my brain on my xbox.
Still cant find a job. Have been given a whole wad of bullshit from many places. "Oh we will take you on for training and then once thats done will put you on proper shifts" or "drop your resume round and we will get in contact with you in a week" or the best one "oh the boss is just out of the office, once she gets back from lunch I will get her to call you back, shoul
Devious Journal Entry
Just thought I would update/ramble.
Uni is... average. Has highs and lows. Seems to be cutting out alot of fun from my life. Sick and tired of most of my units already. Particularly one where the tutor is so bad that the whole class is wondering why he is even employed.
Roo has some form of allergy to grass that is really annoyingly persistant. No matter how much we give him medication and creams he is still itchy.
I am even more tired than I can remember being for over a year now. I blame uni and transport time.
Now have an xbox account. Enjoying playing online and the general connected feeling I am getting from being online :) Note me i
Figured I would update.
Well seeing as the last time I wrote a journal was...well a while ago. I figured I would update about general stuff.
I successfully came down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome after my bout of mono. (yes, it is a real syndrome and it does affect people. If you are going to flame me, at least do research before trying). I now have a daily struggle with energy being non-existant, difficulty retaining my memory, constant arthritic pain in my shoulders, elbows, knees and hips and can't concentrate on things easily. Add that to a constant general sick feeling that sometimes comes with a feeling of not being able to breathe properly and I am just a ha

Your relationship with Dec is older than any of my underwear. This is a mark of distinction.
So what did the chronic fatigue syndrome turn out to really be, and what kind of surgery fixed it? How was it discovered?
