Happy Australia Day, Aussies!

How will you celebrate?

Woke up at 1pm (which I am not proud of,) halfway through cleaning my studio and wilfully being distracted by the Internet. Celebrating my country by avoiding social interaction

In reality, most of my friends are at Rainbow Serpent; I'm a recovering alcoholic and vegan so the usual farken 'Straya day barbecue thing bores me to tears. Days such as this remind me of how deeply engrained drinking culture is... Also how much I used to drink just to be able to 'feel comfortable' at social gatherings in which the primary motivation is 'gittin' farked arp' and making small talk.

And you?

I'm doing absolutely stuff-all except for trying to keep cool and posting on WP and trying not to think of my dad. Yay, Straya Day!

It's pouring rain here (5 inches since 9am according to the BoM). It was typical hot summer day here yesterday and my dad and stepma were saying how they were planning on going to the beach today. Looks like that plan is cancelled . I just came back from linedance class (I never get to go to the monday classes thanks to work) and I'm contemplating going for a drive in the rain to wash my car.

Whoray Australia Day.

Wow, could you send some rain my way? Had a great light show last night but not a drop. So hot right now wouldn't be surprised if two hobbits showed up and tried to throw a ring in my house.

As always, driving 10kms below the speed limit to avoid double demerits - stoopid public holidays. lol
