Summer Hair = Forever Young

I just logged on and checked when I posted my last blog, and HOLY CRAP- August 25th?!

Nothing much has happened, though. I'm currently near the end of my mid-semester break from uni. Two weeks seriously go by sooooo quickly.

Actually, forget the bit where I said nothing much has happened- I bought a new iPod touch! I was a bit annoyed that Apple didn't increase the capacity with the new models, but whatever, I'm happy with my 32GB baby. Arthur really is old (4 years old, if I'm not mistaken) and life with a nice colour touchscreen video-capable iPod is wonderful. I really love the external volume controls, the wi-fi connectivity and the cool apps. I've named my iPod William (after William Beckett, hahaha) and even if I'll never hook up with his namesake, at least I can be sure iPod William and I will have many good times together. :P

The weather is HOT! YES!! Not quite sweltering yet, but being in the mid-20s to almost 30 degrees is fan-freaking-tastic. Singlets, shorts and Havaianas- oh how I've missed you.

My dad's cousin Claire (who is about my age and thus I would rather refer to her as my cousin) and her family have invited me to spend Christmas and New Year's at her place. You're probably thinking, 'yeah so what?', but get this. Her place is in Texas. And she's planning to take me to New York too. It's such a wonderful and thoughtful offer that I really couldn't believe it when she asked. It'll be odd though, to board a plane and leave my most favourite season, technically go back a day or so and arrive in a country that will be in my least favourite season. Oh well, a white Christmas can't be that bad. The thought of travelling on my own weirds me out a bit. I'm going to miss my family, friends, Mike... And what will I do on the plane by myself? LOL, maybe I should worry about these things once everything's confirmed.

Anyways, I'm procrastinating again. I have two essays due (one for Linguistics and one for Sociology *dies*) and a Spanish quiz to study for. Urrrrrrrrgh. The quiz is next Tuesday and the essays are due next Friday, so I think I still have a day to waste.

With the exception of William, I can't say I've bought anything worthy of note lately.. Got a copy of Choke by Chuck Palahniuk off eBay for $16 yesterday.. That's about it. *shrugs* I need to buy more shoes. Okay okay- not so much a need, but you know how it is.

....hm...what else to say... I've got a strange addiction to Twix Pods.

LOL, shoot me if I ever end up looking like this.
