The Gold Coast was alright. I wasn’t there long. Of course, Brent got held up at work so I was stuck waiting at the train station, which of course was the exact situation I was in that time that...

---

I went for a walk yesterday to my usual spot on my day off, in Newstead by the river. It seems to have become a routine the last few years. I’ll stop in at the shops, get a snack and go sit and...

---

It was actually pretty liberating being a spectator at the Commonwealth Games. I’m glad I went. I did end up training and tramming all the way down there and all the way back, only to get up aga...

---

So my parents place is as boring as usual. I mean, nothing ever changes out in the country. I’m not sure it’s meant to? It’s the same routine each time I’m out there, although this time I need...

---

Work was as crazy busy as I predicted. Was very over it and definitely earned the penalty rates today, phew. Didn’t stop. Went to Chermside and caught up with the boys. We were minus Ben this ...

---

Well, good news in that I think I can still write here, hopefully for good, and not for just now haha. Very thankful to Dan for all his hard work, and looking forward to seeing if Josh will cens...

---

I’ve exported all my books on here to text files, so that’s something. I now have two lots of exports - 2004-2013 from OD and from 2013-2018 from here LOL. We don’t have much luck, do we? So afte...

It’s been lovely here the past 5 years. Hard to believe it’s been that long. This place was a savior in the demise of OpenDiary and I’m very thankful for that. I tend to see the good side of t...

I went to the LANY concert last night. They’re an indie band from LA (LANY is an acronym for ‘Los Angeles New York’.) I caught the bus there and had to walk a short distance to the venue, which ...

---

Yikes, seeing Prosebox down earlier on the week reminded me of the End-Of-OD-Days (or EOODD). Nice to have it back! Of course I wanted to write, but couldn’t even fathom writing over on OD (now t...

---

I booked my flights to Portugal today. So that’s pretty fucking exciting. And nerve-racking. The thought of having to do those massive flights all over again ergh. They’re 25/26 hours all up ...

---

My back has been gradually feeling better. It’s my long shifts at work where I really feel it, especially after my 6:30am until 4pm Saturday shifts. It was also a fucked-week. I don’t know wha...

---

Well, I think any chance of management (even if I wanted it) at this job was thrown out the window today at work. I burst into tears about two and a half hours into my shift. Uncontrollable cry...

---

Hol-lee hell, I haven’t felt this much pain in a long time! Right now, I’m really feeling for those poor people who have constant back issues most days of their lives. I’m not used to feeling t...

---

I think this is my first entry from the Hotel Bartley (my home’s nickname) bathtub! I hurt my back at work today :( I’m not exactly sure what I was doing, but I felt fine going to work, but whil...

---

I caught up with my friend Matt-O last night, since it was the last chance I’d be able to since he’s continuing his visit to Australia. He’s from here but has been working in London for the last...

---

Words like this, I noticed, were thrown around a fair bit at camp. The whole northern NSW area has been known as an “alternative” region for as long as I can remember (Byron Bay, Nimbin etc) so ...

---

I finally found a free PowerPoint at the campsite for my final night here. I’m going to start packing up some of the small stuff and moving it to the car tonight. The tent can wait until sunrise...

---

I’m in Lismore, awaiting a tow-truck. The stupid battery light kept coming on in Vish’s car and eventually it just wouldn’t start altogether. 😪 I made it out to my parents and to Lismore fine. ...

---

I’ve got an hour until my late 12pm checkout (woohoo) so why not write an entry? It’s been great. These 4 days away have been so worth it, and yeah this hotel is amazing, and huge. I’ve had at ...

---

Ergh, just wrote a big entry and lost the friggin thing, so here goes again. My actual birthday was pretty uneventful. I woke up with a slight hangover and felt the need to just have a shower an...

---

I dunno what the rest of those NoJoMo questions are like, but I didn’t like the next set either so I’m not gonna bother doing it. Oh well I tried. I’d rather just write about my life TBH. I’ve b...

---

Kathy Griffin was fairly good. I did laugh a few times, but she wasn’t my favourite comedian I’ve seen. Rather than run around the stage and tell jokes, she only moved from the podium a couple ...

---

I had a fun night at Moe and Ben’s housewarming tonight in Nundah. They have a really cute and spacious apartment and have totally decked it out in all the latest accessories that you’d find in ...

---

I went to Moetoberfest (My friend Moe’s annual birthday celebration) last night. It was held at ‘The Barvarian’ and the starting time was at 7:30pm. Cue 7:10pm rolling around and me thinking I’...
