So, stuff!
Jun. 14th, 2008 05:57 pmI don't know, I suck with titles. And also, updating. Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so last weekend, there was a skating competition at Canterbury last week and I wanted to check it out, because clearly, I'm a glutton for punishment. Never seen so many shaky landings on jumps in my life! Oh Australia, we can't skate. But yeah, it was still awesome even if I did get stuck with Dad, instead of Mum. She wasn't feeling well enough. Damn it. Dad shits me after a while. And by while, I mean 15 minutes. But yeah, it was interesting to see how we stand up. Or don't in a couple cases. Ah well. More than I can do, that's for damn sure. And I swear to God, there was a girl competing for FRANCE there. WHY? I can't work out why you'd travel all that way to compete in front of 20 people? She came third, too. She wasn't bad, though! We only saw the intermediate level ladies and men and pre-primary ice dance. I wanted to see the ice dance, and heh... I swear to God, there was one couple. XD And we saw them do the compulsory dance. They had to do it twice because... of... something, but the second time was better so I'm glad that was the one that counted. One of the men skated to Take 5, too. Obviously, not as good as Torvill and Dean, but... So yeah, that was interesting. And typically Australian? One of the girls came off the ice going "I didn't fall!" Ha! Nice. I got to go to Borders beforehand, too. Picked up the first Post Secret book. It's all good.
Then Grandma finally guilted Dad enough to get him to visit again after work last Sunday. Woo. He hasn't been 'talking' to her for a while. Personally, I think he's a fuckhead. But that has nothing to do with anything Grandma's done. He's just a fuckhead. Don't know what's crawled up his ass and died lately, but I've never had such an intense desire to punch someone in the throat before. And then, he's fine the day after he's acted like a prat! Yeah, whatever. Forgive me if I'm not in the mood to talk to an irrational wanker. Seriously, he's barely a father anymore. More a roommate you desperately want to boot out of the house. So, you know, fun times.
Anyway, it's my birthday next week! WOO! Turn 20 on the 21st... which, now that I've written it down, is a little frightening. I'll be glad not to be a teenager anymore, but yeah. Scary. Oh well, I get to go skating on my birthday! I couldn't last week because of the competition and this week... girl things. Oh, the pain. But yeah, next week! Need my skates sharpened, too. Dad can run over and do that! I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
twilight_mash was planning on coming down so woo!
And that's my update! I can't remember anything else significant. Well, except for Nan going into hospital, but it was only for a couple days so it's not as worrying as it sounds. She's mostly better now, anyway. Agh, I'm so bored.
