Alright once again I have let my fellow blog readers down. Oh how can I make it up to you? No idea so I just hope that you’re still dropping by every once in a while. It would be cool if you commented every now and then too. Thanks Andrew for your comments!
Ok now onto some news of Amy’s Rollercoaster of a life. Omg that could not be described any better then that ROLLER COASTER. Yup it fits so well because like a roller coaster it goes up and down just like life but then wait for it, Amy’s life in particular deserves to have twists and turns involved as well. Yippee life wouldn’t be worth blogging without this wonderful feature now would it? Ha-ha, many a times I have been told to write a book about my life’s story and that it would be a best seller. I mean geez I think I could write a series of books maybe even movies and it can be like a hit like that Twilight crap. Lol if only.
Ha-ha anyways now that I have had my whinge I will get on with it. Currently I am on holidays. Now holidays is normally a fun word because the definition of holidays is; a time or period of exemption from any requirement, duty, assessment, etc thus meaning in English time for new scenery to spend with friends having fun and doing whatever it is that you please, away from your everyday life. So as it might be that I am in fact on 5 weeks holiday, I am still wound up at home?!?! I’m sorry I think I got lost in translation there. It is end of semester break and I didn’t plan anything for my break that could half be my fault. Why because being a casual employee that means that I actually have to work for a living. Not that I don’t love my job because I do. I just think that time away in another place would just be ace right about now. So yes I am spending my so called ‘holidays’ working. If I had friends I would see them but for some reason they have all disappeared. Convenient because I think I need them most at the moment. Oh well as my one of my friends would say “have a can of concrete, and harden the F*&K up” so that’s what I am doing.

My parents have returned from their really long trip to Thailand. They went overseas for five weeks to celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary. All I can say is wow congrats to them, 39 years is a long time! It was fun for me while they were away though because it was just myself and my brother living together. We didn’t have any questions as to where we were going and what we were doing and the best one what time will you be home? It was cool, I mean I did get stuck with the grocery shopping every week taken out of my pay. Which I still cant manage to understand because I am the younger one isn’t the older sibling meant to look after the baby? Lol. I guess I got the job because I actually work in a shopping centre. So my brother had a party while they were away and as usual he was showing off by pouring fuel into the bon fire and then deciding to walk over the top of it. It just annoys me sometimes because sometimes its just silly, so I ended up just going to bed. And un-expectantly I had a phone call, who could it be? I had a surprise visitor it was my friend Simon. He who was already invited to this party didn’t come because he had another party to go to, but hey it was all cool in the end the night turned out well. Oh something tragic but half funny happened to me while my parents were away. As much as I shouldn’t laugh at my own misfortune I do anyway. Its not like you cant say that you don’t laugh at other peoples misfortune…. Admit it when the coppers have pulled someone else over you laugh right or how about when someone else locks their keys in their car then its hilarious, especially if you know them. Anyways back to me, I was at work on one of those glorious Fridays. For some particular reason I really wasn’t in the mood for working and I guess nature didn’t want me to work either. So it played out like this
Customer rocks up to my register;
Amy: Hi how are you going?
Customer: Good thank you and yourself? (The customer goes to get the 24xcan cat food out of the trolley)
Amy: Good thanks, oh don’t worry I can scan the item from here (reaches over the bench with the scanner in the hand and scans both 24 packs of cat food) BLEEP, BLEEP
Amy: That’s $35.36 thank you
Customer: Oh that’s not the right price (Amy looking confused)
Amy: How much is it meant to be?
Customer: its two for $30 on sale there was a ticket down there.
Amy: Oh Ok I will have to get someone to check the price for me hold on

Meanwhile the bell rings and we made an announcement for customer service to register 9 which was my register. About 10 minutes pass and still no answer. So I figured hey its quiet lets go check the price myself, customer service right?!?! Oh wait I should close my register off first before I leave. I don’t wanna be responsible for any thieves leaving through there. So as I shut the gate off. The steel gate falls out off the carcase and lands on my ankle! OUCH!!! It was pure square steel about 7 kg falling from about 600mm straight onto pure ankle bone. So off I limped to check the price and finished the sale. I then continued onto the back dock where I received first aid. After two hours of ice and pain I still couldn’t feel my ankle. I ended up having to either go to the hospital or the 24 hour medical centre. I choose the medical centre because it would be a less of a wait. The managers all helped me out they were great. So out of the store I got wheeled on a wheelie chair. Funny sight I am sure. Anyways I had a fun time getting home too because I drive a manual car you see. Which naturally involves driving with both feet. Lol. I ended up on crotches for 5 days and then limping for a further 2 days. It wasn’t broken it was just tissue damage and bruising. I was still on suitable duties though which involved sitting down for my whole shift. Yeah did you read that, I hurt myself at work and still have to go to work! Man that’s what you call DET..I…CATION!!!!! The pain subsided after about 2 weeks and I was all set to go back to my full duties. Ok so why I laugh at my misfortune because you should have seen me on those crotches absolute LOL. I looked like a complete tool un-co as on those things, I would make a terrible disabled person. I am sorry to inform you that I do not have any photos of this fun time. But ask anyone from big w I am sure they will agree.
So I think that’s enough about what’s been going on. Let’s talk about what’s going to be going on… I am hoping that during my holidays I achieve some of these things. It has taken me a while to develop a list of things I would like to do because I am so not used to having so much time to myself. It drives you crazy I tell you. Anyways here it is;
- Go to a theme park with some friends so either Dreamworld, Movie World or Wet n Wild (sorry Sea Worlds too boring)
- Go to at least one party/ club where I actually get drunk and have fun
- Replant my cacti garden and buy some more, maybe start a vegetable garden
- Go to the movies to see Shrek 4
- Possibly tidy my room (still deciding on that one)
- Have a picnic or something on the beach just sit on the sand and listen to the waves (I’ll think of you all in Belgium) if it weren’t winter I would swim too
Okay so that’s what I have so far. As you can see a lot of it probably wont happen. But with luck and pursuing it might actually happen! Its all about timing and planning really. Like who wants to clean there room? While you could be out at a party but it could rain so then Shrek 4 would be just ace. There’s just soo many options. Now just to convince my friends to come along ha-ha lol. Good luck. So far my I have been watching the TV series ‘That 70’s Show’ and wow that show is funny. I have the whole series so seasons 1-9 so there’s a lot of TV watching happening at the moment. But being house bound is boring. So I’m trying to get out a bit. Anyone have any suggestions? Please add any ideas I would love to hear them. Well that’s me for now if anything new happens I will be sure to post it. Seeing as I do have so much time now. Ha-ha
