I’m feeling a lot better today - Yesterday was just a really down day for me. Partly because my brother, who told me he’d come and visit me, changed his mind, claiming he didn’t want to waste his Birthday money. Fair enough, but still, he shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up :( I’m much better now though - I managed to sleep the emo-ness off.
Overall, though, this weekend has been an absolute crock of shit. The weather has been terrible both days, and whenever I’ve gone to do something, my plans have fallen through. James said that we could see a movie on Saturday evening, but he seemed to have forgotten and somewhat ignored me when I suggested that we go and see one. I spent most of Saturday night in James’s room, alone, because he was too busy on his computer with his brother and brother’s friend down the other end of the house. I didn’t even get a chance to see Vicki in her ball dress when she got back from her ball, because I fell asleep before hand. :(
Then, more dramas today - I had work, and so needed to get back from James’s place. James dropped me at the train station, only for me to find that the trains had been replaced by busses for half of the trip - and because I don’t know the area the bus was going to stop at, I freaked out and begged James to drive me back home. James wasn’t in the least happy, and was quiet throughout the trip. It rained terribly the entire trip, and at times was so torrential that I was petrified we were going to have an accident. Of course, James is used to driving in the rain - It scares the shit out of me though, because It hasn’t rained in Sydney like that for a long time, and i’ve never driven (personally) in heavy rain. Hopefully I get used to it, because it rains a lot in the winter here in Auckland.
James has since told me that he was okay driving me into town today because he knew that I’d freak out at the unknown area and get all paranoid. So that makes me feel better.
Work was pretty quiet in the end. Hiroshi, a guy I work with on Sundays, and I spent most of the evening looking up Chuck Norris jokes. It kept us entertained, considering we had maybe a total of 10 customers. Psh, boring!
I’m off to Sydney tomorrow to visit my family and friends. Should be good. I miss them heaps, but at the same time, I love it so much here in Auckland, and I really don’t want to leave, even for a minute.
anyway, off to bed for me. :)
PS: Check out my new flickr photos :):)

I would get freaked out too in an area I didn’t know too well. I hate driving in the pouring rain, it’s soo hard to see.

Rain somehow gets us all depressed I think, it’s been cloudy and rainy today and I’ve just slept, not bothering to do a thing. I hope you have a good time in Sydney, it’s a huge city so there should be lots to do for you and your family. Chuck Norris jokes are the shit, seriously, so funny. ^^

I’m glad you’re feeling better, but that doesn’t sound like a very nice thing your brother did. I would have been sad too.
You do get used to driving in the rain, so don’t worry. The more you do it, the more comfortable you’ll be. And I get really nervous in places I don’t know too, so don’t feel bad. I would probably have done the same thing :).
Hopefully your visit will be excellent and make up for the weekend you had! Have a good time.

Whenever it rains you could think of that old quote from The Crow: It can’t rain forever. O actually like to think that when the rain gets me depressed. Sometimes I think of that old George Harrison lyrics: “It rained for years and dampened my heart”. Always good to find some pop-cult references to making one feel better. =)

That sucks about the trains and that you didn’t know the buses, maybe next time that happens you’ll know where to go though.

I’m sorry that your brother changed his mind about visiting you. That sucks. Rain makes me a little sad too.

Hey ooh flickr pics I’m gonna check those out after I’m done commenting. ^^
I am so bad with directions that I would have been freaking out in an unknown area. It’s sad that your brother couldn’t come visit you and I understand why but maybe he shouldn’t have chosen the word waste…at least you’re going to visit your family soon.
Auckland must be amazing!

Yikes, I hate having to figure out mass transit in places I’m unfamiliar with. I’m always afraid I’m going to get lost or something like that. Luckily you had a ride, that was nice of him.
