Yeah, here's a substantial entry

So I got back on January 4. I was apparently supposed to be staying longer in Sydney and staying less time with my father, but as it turned out (as usual) planning went a bit pear-shaped. I was supposed to leave my Dad's around the 30th of December and spend the New Year with Penny, but she got sick, but actually, I was having such a great time with family, that I couldn't really bring myself to leave yet. So I stayed longer until New Years Day.

I went to Valan's and spent the night at her house, then with Louise one night and then until I left I stayed with Penny. I got sick on New Years day (what a way to start the new year lol) and ended up doing really nothing with Penny and Louise except sleeping and watching movies. I missed out on catching up with most of my friends except the three above because of time constraints. I really expected to stay longer, but my Mum offered to drive up to pick me up from Sydney (also because Louise was planning on coming back) and she had to work on the 5th, so it was either go or spend $120 on a plane trip... and well, we're trying to save money here!

I'm just recovering from the illness now, it wasn't anything serious, but I can't shake the man voice lol.

I took Louise to the airport this morning, she went home. It felt like she had been here for so much longer than she was. We had such a good time (well I did, I hope she did too) we went to see in Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith last night and it was brilliant. I loved it, but I did cry like a baby through most of it. I have a soft spot for Will Smith. The movie was really good, I can't believe what an awesome little actor his son is (who plays his son in the actual movie) ... it was really heartbreaking. My only complaint was that during the movie this woman kept turning to stare at me each time I coughed or cleared my throat (and it wasn't very often! and I kept my mouth covered!) ... I wanted to turn around and say, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, is the fact that I have a slight little cough impeding on your movie, which by the way, is so loud that it drowns me out?"

People are so rude. If I was having major coughing fits right in her ear, I could understand. At one point, I almost turned and asked her what her g-o was... It's like I have a sign on my head that says, "glare at me, I deserve it!" ... on the train home from taking Louise back today these two old women kept staring too. It makes me feel unsettled lol.

Anyway, I'll be back with regular updates.
