So, went to a funeral of a friend yesterday.

Surprise brain tumour took her at just 20 years old. One of the most unfair things to happen this year, really. Carmen was one of those people who just made the world a better place by being in it. Beautiful, loving, such a fantastic, dutiful daughter. Always translating for her parents and taking care of her...

My condolences to you and her family. Sounds horrible, especially with it being so sudden.
goldenbunz:
Very sorry for your loss, sounds like you were lucky to have known her even for the short time she was here. Again very sorry.

I have not blogged for several months now.

I don't even have an excuse. But here I am! Still alive. Still procrastinating writing my novel by writing everything else first. Going to Scotland soon. That should be exciting. If anyone in Edinburgh knows of any jobs that'll be going around Januray/February of next year, all help is appreciated. I'll be there for a year, funds...

Sounds like he just wanted an excuse really, doesn't mean he's a bad guy just that he's a bit of a coward.

Yes! I did feel kind of bad about wanting my stuff so badly while other people were going through much worse, but still. It was my stuff. It was practically everything I owned, I kind of needed it lol. Hope you're doing okay too, especially since they just won't go away smile
odie:
Awesome to hear you got your stuff back. I hope everything was as it should be when you were able to pick it up.

To outwards appearances, it appears my life is falling to pieces.

First, there was a massive earthquake that knocked over my place of work and prevented me from getting anywhere near my home and therefore everything I own.
Then, my boyfriend left me to work in another city without a second thought.

Now, considering all that is going on in the world right now. This...

    And I demand
    You put my heart back in my hand
    And wipe it clean
    Of the mess you made of me

    And I require
    You make me free from this desire
    And when you leave I'd better be the innocent
    I used to be

What with all the earthquakes and world ending stuff going on, my love life seems entirely unimportant. But here I am blogging about it because I have nothing better to do.

I'm single again. My boyfriend got the most amazing job offer in another city and would be a total idiot if he didn't take it up. So that's the end of us. I know...

So right now, my heart is with Japan in the wake of this latest crisis. It really puts what happened here into a new light. Not that it makes any of it better, but we are very fortunate that there had been no tsunami or such a high rate of fatalities.

At least at this point I can say that all of the people I...

So, I don't know how many of you who actually read this know about the huge earthquake that hit Christchurch (the city I live in) but I thought I should mention it. Around 200 people have died and the CBD is totally closed off, about 20% of the city is still without power and water... it's pretty goddam awful.

So... yeah. That's what's going on...

I have actually been thinking of you all and I know many others have been as well. I feel for anyone that has to go through something as tragic as that, not to mention I have a big soft spot for Kiwis.

EMPLOYED!!

Sure, it's extremely menial, I'll be serving burgers at Christchurch's new Wendy's Old Fashioned Burgers place. But at least it's money. And money means I can eat and pay rent and get more tattoos. Which is always good biggrin

I was turned down by McDonalds twice lol. And Wendy's has even higher standards, it's insane.Still only in the training phase though so we'll see if I have what it takes to create tasty sammiches.

Auckland is where the party is at... good to see some Kiwis in here....

Why must it be so difficult to find a job? Seriously, I mean, I know we had rather large earthquake, that just sort of keeps coming back and all, but REALLY.

If anyone in Christchurch is reading this and no of any jobs going PLEASE TELL ME. I would love you forever. Especially if I actually got the job. I seriously don't care what it...

You could do what a friend of mine just did, she just kept walking into business asking to see the manager and telling them why they "needed" to hire her till one of them gave her a job. I unfortunately don't have the self confidence to pull that off.
tempesta:
Ha, I wish I had that much confidence, that sounds like a brilliant plan. So far all I've got is applying for EVERYTHING on Trade Me. Someone has to hire me eventually, right?
