You would think that after yesterday’s horrible, awful, terrible very bad day that I would want to write about it, to get it off my chest, air the dirty laundry, communicate my commiserations and bring you all down to the depths of despair to which I find myself sinking to. But no, not me, not today, not on this blog sister.
Today I want to talk about something funny, uplifting, witty. Something boring, dull, senseless, something comical, random and light hearted.... now if only I could find something like that to share!
Ooooo, random fact... I saw a boy jump off a bridge the other day. I thought he would kill himself because the bridge was so high, but he didn’t, he landed in the river, way, way below. He landed on the back of his head and didn’t move at first, but then he shouted to his friends standing on the bank and slowly swam to them. Someone had already phoned the police, we walked past that person as he was still talking to the them on the phone, and they came just after the boy had managed to get out of the water and start to stagger away. It was quite a shock to witness. I had my camera with me as per usual, but I was too stunned to zip it out and snap him jumping. I have no idea how he got to the middle of that bridge to find his jumping position in the first place as there is no pedestrian access on that bridge. It was a very bizarre and unexpected event to have witnessed on what started out to be nothing other than my average dull walk. Anyway, moving on...
Ummm, another random fact... today whilst searching facebook for new friends to add to that horrid game I play, (I only need 25 more friends), I stumbled across Isabelle and became her new friend. Isabelle, as it turns out is the oldest Australian person to be using facebook and the second oldest facebooker in the world, she is 103 years old. Her family created an account for her because she ‘often wondered what all the young ones were talking about when they mentioned facebook’. Apparently she was featured on the channel 9 news in December and is going for some kind of record relating to that social networking site. I am her 2946th friend on facebook and she now has 2954 friends in total. I actually think it is very cool as she really and truly does log on and look at her wall every day.
Oh, here’s some other news...it’s raining again!!!! Yep, we have had two floods within a few weeks of each other and it decides to rain again, just for something different. Annnnnd.... it is humid, again! One does NOT like this humidity, humidity does NOT agree with one’s hair. If one enjoyed this bizarre weather phenomenon, one would move to Queensland where people apparently don’t mind what their hair looks like each day. (Yep, that directly aimed at my funny haired Queenslander friends).
My final random news of the day is tomorrow’s news.... BIG SIGH... Tomorrow is Friday, it must be WEDDING SHOPPING DAY, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I don’t want to go shopping with both of my sisters for something frilly and girlie and totally impractical to wear to the wedding. I tried everything I could think of to get out of this shopping expedition. But apparently because I was rude enough to withdraw from being a bridesmaid, I have no option but to let them, my two older sisters, boss me around and make me buy some no doubt ridiculously over priced fashion items, that only two crazed manic fashion blinded, ‘must have’, old enough to know better, sisters could like. No amount of protesting thus far has achieved a thing in my defence. They are totally ignorant to the fact that I am the ‘Official Photographer’ and that as such I will need to run about snapping madly, which I did try to convey to them, I cannot do in high heels and a frilly dress!
So, dreading tomorrow, but oh dear, that is quite another story.
would I be one of those qlders that don't care about their hair? giggle
