12. juni - geburtstag usw.

Letzte Woche hatte ich meinen 25. Geburtstag. I opened my presents before I went to work which made me all late, haha.



Got these books by Chimamanda Adichie from Mark' parents. I've read most of 'Half of a Yellow Sun' so far and it is really good. I have been learning lots about Biafra and the Nigerian Civil War.





Beads from my mummy. Also got earrings that look similar.



And this scarf. Also, a new black cardigan (super long one!) Got new belt and a stripy top and a pink top/dress from Bec, but they are in the wash and I cannot show you today...



Mark got me the P.A.M. Perks and Mini fang necklace !!!!!! I have wanted it for so long!



It is amazing. People get confused by it, it's great. Someone at work went to me "oh, you're into that kind of thing are you?" and I didn't really know what they meant by "that kind of thing" so I sort of went "oh well, y'know" and ambled off quickly. I suppose they mean goffs. Sally at work loves my fangs and we talked for a long while about goffs and going to Whitby and enjoying the old goffic. I miss Whitby a great deal, I realise.

After work I met Mark by Hyde Park and we went for martinis on Crown Street and then went to eat at Bill's (Surry Hills one which is a full restaurant - I'd not been to that one before), which was lovable. Then got a taxi up to the rocks to watch a band at the wharf. Bridezilla played, who we also saw on the bank holiday at the FBi benefit gig. They were good, but I was tired and afterwards we pootled very quickly home to slumber.

This is all to report...since then it has rained....A LOT.



Got this ring for $5 at Glebe markets a few weeks ago. Woo. Off to watch The Singing Detective on DVD now. Watched 5 hours of it yesterday afternoon while the rain came down! It makes no sense and yet is strangely captivating.
