In my dream I had finally gotten the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game to work at the pub. It was all new and shiny and awesome. It allowed branching paths for a more narrative-rich story. Was just hitting up the first lot of footclan soldiers when the alarm went off.
I could have fucking cried.
Happy Friday y’all!
If you’re out and about and you notice someone with earphones in their ears, singing, is Asian and short. Good chance it’s likely me. Fiddy fiddy chance you can say Hi and freak out a stranger or freak me out because of my anxiety. The choice is yours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Day 3/4 of this tummy bug. Last night was pretty brutal. Flying out to Indo next week so tum tum better behave by then or everyone on the plane isn't going to be pleased.
Pls pray to the gods of immodium, brawndo and codeine for me.

JB Hifi just casually sent my mum some other persons Xbox along with her laptop. It's got his name and address inside the box but my mums on the box, we've contacted them and sent photos etc but haven't heard back.
Oooft paid $6 for fresh strawberries and they were half rotten. Other half was still delicious tho 🍓
The man's car is fixed so that means I get my car back. He refered to it as the "family car". I correct him with "eeeerttt no". I had to go through the rules with him. Wash your hands before getting in my car. Fill it up. Strictly no eating in my car. If you must have a coffee DO NOT SPILL ANY because it will cost you your life. No hooning and the most important, if you bend it, you mend it. Apart from that I am pretty easy going.

Had the most productive day in over two weeks today and feel tons better about myself. Boring friday night talking to other alcoholics about our struggles at finding our higher powers and how powerless we are to control our substance use. A lot cheaper than going out and better company than the miserable mostly jerks I was wasting my life with on party chat rooms.
Pretty disappointed the two queer AA groups I reached out to haven't responded. I'm about done with the "queer" scene honestly. Was great to go and protest the cookers yesterday and I won't stop fighting for my own community but it feels like the greater queer community shut me out all the time and always have. Someone reckoned st kilda wasn't queer enough. Fucks sake, just let people live. Who cares? Why live in a bubble and ghetto anyway? As always you must be the first two letters of the rainbow or people are just dismissive. We'll always be there with you, thanks, yeah you asked my pronouns. That'll help next time I'm in an ambulance and get misgendered and given the wrong amount of drugs. end rant
Had the craziest time just now trying to buy a pair of uggs (or indeed anything close).
First outlet had the delivery driver doing wild things with the truck so you couldn't get near the place.
Second outlet's prices were eyewatering.
Decided to give Rivers a go and roadworks around the area had blocked off the entrance.
DFO was my last shot and I got a nice pair for about the price I was wanting, as well as a non-black top at the Big Girls' Blouse outlet.
Did a quick top up shop on the way home and am now flooped on the couch.
It's all fun and excitement at my place this afternoon. I have totalled up all my bank interest in preparation for my tax return (thanks high interest rates, I guess). My budget for the next year has been finalised and the form to change the amount of super salary sacrifice has been completed. Next up is changing the cat's litter & poop scooping the backyard. How's everyone else's Friday going?
Shit. I’m over work. My boss is a dick and I’m stressed to the max. But tinyest is happy, and we got some mates coming around for dinner so that’s exciting.
My big sister (who lives in Cairns) just sent me this with a ‘wish you were here’ message
It is taking every ounce of my willpower to not jump on a plane. If I leave now, I can still make it in time for schnapps.
Ok where’s jezb87 is he here? Did anyone let him know we’ve moved on. Is he under another name? I don’t recognise people when they change their name’s here compared to the name they on reddit DT (so far as I know it’s just one person)
Miss Meow just bullied me into feeding her and Mr Woof early. I am too soft.
Ordered a little portable handheld massage gun thing to take with me to axe throwing tournaments to stop muscles getting so stiff by the end of the day. Arrived within a day haha and it feels super solid and well made, pretty happy for the price :)
Another day of work where I walk in the door and hang my brain up on the coat rack so I forget all the shit said and done. Blehhhh.
He called my car ca-ca so I said "Get fucked cunt" and then I remembered the kid was in the back seat so I fixed it by saying "Mummy did not swear at Daddy. You heard wrong".
Anyway cheers happy campers. 🍺
that's petrol lighting
Wordscapes being a bit rude tonight. Not as funny as the time it spelt buttsex. But close. Makes me think of this funny scene in the Polymorph episode of Red Dwarf https://youtu.be/Y3z2EFt2Ljs
