one of my longer updates

OK let's just start this journal entry off by saying, it is absolutely damn freeeeeezing in Melb atm; 7 degrese I hear! so, I got me two jumpers on and me heater cranked.
Yes, I'm up far too early for my liking. but as usual, I was wide awake after my ritual of daily morning sneezing.
I was going to go out and meet t for lunch today but am not now since we'd only get 45 mins before he goes back to work, and I would have then gone to sY to see the boys, but rB won't be there, so will give it a miss.
OK from when I left off sunday, I ended up getting a call from the current minister at BACC (where I was baptized and use to go regularly .) he asked if he could come and visit; course, I was a bit hesitant at first cos I didn't know him, but I did agree, and he came. unfortunately he wasn't willing to hear any major stories from me, but was just intending on recruiting me back to church.
As it was something I've been contemplating going back to on and off anyway, I thought I may give this a go, but as there is no transport anywhere near there, and I'd have to rely on some kind soul to pick me up every week, I don't know if this one will last. but indeed, there's a church in walking distance from me to think about as well.
So yeh, this week John himself actually offered to pick me up, but I might skip this week as I've got to talk to G (singing teacher) about if I can swap it to sundays. Recent conversations with her about others has led me to believe she likes as much time as possible to swap lessons and indeed cansil, and I decided I'd rather talk to her about it on Saturday. I think she keeps sundays as her days off, so we'll have to come up with another arrangement. I think she does a few lessons sunday but not many, so I will have to see if perhaps I could do sunday afo.
Yesterday morning dad came over here in time for the evaluator; all went well there. -- He had also picked me up another headset after telling me about this great deal he saw, as my old mic had appeared to quit working. However, I notice there is a low hum whenever the mic is plugged in, so not sure if something is wrong with the sound card or not.
Then Dad spent a lot of time up and down from my roof yesterday, fiddling with wires and stuff that electritions do, as he has installed a smoke detector that is powered from the mains. He started, and will come back today, to continue wiring up me oven, which will be so good! I asked if this could be done before he leaves for dubai, and man am I going to be able to cook up storms now, yeah! :)
I spent a lot of time chatting to people on here yesterday, which is something I rarely do these days, probably not as much as i should anyway.
Spent a lot of time on facebook, shooting messages back and forth and getting to know the lovely thecrazykiwi a bit more.
Also, after asking blindpeople and vip-l about Facebook chat, it would appear that my best bet would be to upgrade to jaws 9, as the general concensus is that, if it's going to work it all, jaws 9 seems to do the trick, so may well do that today!
In BigBrother news, Sundays first live eviction for 2008 saw Rebbecca, saxon and David up for nomination, but Travis saved rebecca and put Cory in. saxon ended up being the most voted for by the HMs and being evicted.
It would appear the new format wasn't as popular. I didn't mind it, as it was different.
Last night, while at parents for the mothers day belated edition, I was booted up stairs to watch BigBro as I guess Mum is finally not having a bar of it, and man, Saxon's power sent poor brigitt in a twist! I actually was gobsmacked as I sat there listening to her. She wasn't just sobbing; she was full on bawling man! She was certainly not being very brave at all, and that's what BigBrother is all about!

still haven't got my casio and I want it! The US priority mail that mostly ebay ppl usually use do say five to ten working days, so I have to give it that time I know!
Well guess that is about all for now!
as I keep saying, I can't wait for my oven, then I can do long-awaited chockchip cookies, yeah! ;)
til next time, RdFreak

In the bit with Brigitte in a twist she was laying across the Diary room chair, face down and sobbing. Her body was actually heaving she was sobbing so much!! It was quite bizarre!!

ah yeh, ya could tell she was extremely upset! I still really don't get it! there is much much things in life to get upset about; heck, she wasn't dying! but it's probably not entirely her fault. she does sound like she must be extremely spoilt!

On the late night show Saxon said he got the impression that she's very materialistic cause when he asked her what she does for a job she said she goes shopping.
