First off I'll start this post off with the most recent happening: what is a perfect end to an emotionally stressful day? Why a bushfire of course. You know whilst my mother, sister and niece have all gone away for a couple of days to the zoo. Yeah fucking great. So now I'm here on my own, no one let me know what was going on-I drove our little ATV out to the back block to check out the situation, lucky it's only a fairly gentle burning fire and at the moment it's headed away not towards me. But one bit of wind could change that and the water bombers stop flying after dark. It could also flare tomorrow morning. I have numerous critters to think of but the truth is we know our house in un-defendable and fires move fast so there may be no chance to move the critters. Anyway fingers crossed it'll continue to head the other way and burn slow so they can get it out. I'll let you know tomorrow what happens. It made me feel pretty disposable to be honest, that no-one even thought to let me know :(
Update as re comment below:
It's contained. And as a new first experience I was rude to someone for the first time in my life: we went up to see the fire-crew (24 hours after the fire started) and I point blank told them I was pissed they didn't let me know, they tried to fob with off and then my mum guilt tripped me for being rude and so now of course I feel like shit.
I'm so sick of feeling like every step I take is a huge ballsup. I thought I was being reasonable expecting them to let me know that a potentially life threatening situation was on my doorstep. But I was wrong. I feel like holing up in my room, cancelling uni and never leaving again. :((
Anyway this post was originally going to be about my discovery of the sock bun, yep you read that right. I've looking for a way to put up my hair for labs so there's n risk of flipping it into something questionable. I failed. Until the sock bun! It really works, keeps my hair out of the way and even looks okay. Here are some sock buns:
Which brings me to bangs. For a long time I saw people talking about their 'bangs' and I was like WTF? As it turns out bangs are a fringe.......which I have....that makes a lot more sense now :) Here are some bangs (still make me giggle):
And then I saw Queen V had posted so I went to check it out, she talked about this book: http://www.amazon.com/Never-Have-Ever-Life-Without/dp/1455544671/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1370641222&sr=8-3&keywords=never+have+i+ever
So now I need a copy of that :) Hopefully it'll be a fun read, a book by someone like me for once :)
I also bought a really overpriced dairy I loved for this coming year......now I've got a super cute functional dairy I have to stick at uni. Right?

I'll keep my fingers crossed too that the bushfire heads the other way :(

I guess I shouldn't have said anything. I give up.

That's good, that they contained the fires. Don't feel bad, they definitely should have let you know. And by speaking up know they will like not miss informing in the future if something happens again.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's good it's out :) Thanks for the reassurance I'm not a stone cold b*tch, I'm starting to feel a bit better about it today as the unanimous opinion is they probably won't be too offended and I was well within my rights to be upset. I still feel like I've damaged my reputation though.....I'll have to move to canada now ;)
