So I broke up with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. While of course it was a little sad, for the most part it was a big relief. For a while I had just been sick of his arguing about nothing and general annoyingness and objection to everything.
Rachel had been telling me constantly to dump him but as if I would do that just because someone told me to. It got a little bit freaky when even my horoscope told me to break up with him, but still, I kept going for a while to see if maybe we could sort out the issues, but after a few more weeks it became clear that it was just dragging on and I was only staying with him for the sake of staying with him. Doing anything for the sake of just doing it is generally a waste of life and I figured there was no point wasting my life (I mean what if te PERFECT guy happened to ride up on his white horse and offer to take me away to his castle and I had to decline because I was already dating someone?) so I broke up with him.
I was planning on being mature about it and seeing him in real life and doing it properly but then after texting him initially suggesting it might be best it kind of just happened and we just were broken up...so that failed and I haven't seen him IRL since....
Oh well it's done.
Now I can enjoy being free to do as I wish for a while. I can wear whatever socks with whatever shoes and whatever jeans I fancy.
No one will argue about the sense in knowing where Spain is located or the practicality of eating breakfast with a knife and fork.
Hurray.

If I were Harry Potter
I suppose my name would be Harriet.
Anyhow, I had a dream last night that I was Harry Potter, as in I was me but in his place, Ron and Hermione were my best friends and I went to Hogwarts and sucked up to all the teachers.
So in this particular adventure, I had to solve a lot of clues to save the day once again. So while I was in class (I think it was Maths though, nothing magical) I came across this funny shape (looked like a Heartagram) with some funny writing. I can't remember how I came across it exactly but then the teacher was explaining that sometimes if you can't work something out you have to just study it really really closely so I did and there was some tiny writing about the centre of something.
So I was pretty darn confused but then some kind of image of the recently deceased Dumbledore came and assured me that I had to follow the shape to get to Australia and save the world. McGonagall thought I was making shit up and was maybe going slightly crazy, but went along with it just enough.
I told Ron and Hermione and started packing some things (but all I had to carry stuff was a tiny pouch around my neck. I grabbed a handful of Australian coins I had lying around in my room (since I am from Australia of course) and my wand and that was pretty much it, except we were all wearing thongs so we'd blend in when we got to Australia.
So now I just had to work out how we were supposed to follow this damn signal, until Hermione points to the sky and there it is, made up of stars. So we stood up in the top tower of the school, one with big full length windows, the three of us and McGonagall and the other (maths?) teacher. Watched for a few minutes until I realised that the shape almost lined up perfectly with some old giant building, like a cathedral or something (Hogwarts was in the city by the way), and announced that maybe if we waited a few minutes the shape would line up so it was being poked right in the centre by the tall spire on the building. Once again McGonagall thought I was a bit nuts and didnt see what that could possibly do, when we could just move where we were standing and it would look like it was lined up anyway, but as she was saying that the shape did line up perfectly (from my point of view anyway and I guess I was the important one) and lines formed across the stars lighting it up and emitting a strong glow.
So now it was clear, we had to head for the magical shape and it would provide some kind of portal to Australia. Only problem was, we couldn't take broomsticks because Hermione sucked at riding them.
Not to fear though, the teachers let us in on a little secret; you can fly without a broom or even a wand, all you need to do is strike a match against the wall as you leap out a window and bam off you go.
Seemed logical enough, and she handed us a single match. Of course then I suddenly realised that we were wearing thongs, which would of course fall off my silly bony feet when we started to fly, so I took those off and tucked them under the front of my bra (I NEEDED those for when we got to Australia, it was very important I didn't lose them), and being in a dream and totally fearless struck the match as I leapt out. I think I mustn't have struck it hard enough because I started to drift down very fast but before anyone could notice I struck it again against another wall as I fell past which worked and I could now fly normally. It was pretty fantastic, but when I looked back the other two were freaking out a bit.
While I was hovering around watching them take off, I stupidly dropped my match down deep into what I think might have been the Thames river. When they caught up I asked, hey guys do you think we need those matches to land...I dropped mine...
They seemed to think it'd be fine so we kept flying but we must have accidentally flew through a big open window and landed in someones little office. There was a girl behind the counter filing her nails and looking very comical. Then I suddenly realised that since we had landed I couldnt fly anymore. Dammit now I needed matches....oh well, in true adventure game spirit I engaged the girl in conversation and asked if she had any matches. No of course she didnt.
Okay so now I didnt know what to do, that shape wouldnt stay lit up for much longer surely and we had to get there quick.
Oh wait, no, she DID have a match, but she didnt want to part with it. I said I'd pay her for it, she said three dollars, and I in my excitement said Id give her four fifty (Australian dollars though, dont know why she even accepted it since we were in London). Anyway so I gave her the kangaroo emblazoned cash and she handed me not one match but a masssive fat matchbook full of them, so I was ansolutely delighted.
I pulled one out and tucked the box into the waistbnd of my underwear (didnt want to lose that), but then thinking cleverly took some matches out and put them in the little pouch around my neck instead. The whole matchbook wouldnt fit but now I had plenty of matches anyway.
We left the girl and her office straigh through the window behind her by declaring that we were magicians and would show her a neat trick. She fell for it and was like "WOW how do you do that, that is so cool, I cant even see the wires or anything!"
I ended up flying a bit faster than the other two, but it was very dark now and there were fewer city lights. Thinking very cleverly for someone in a dream though, I pulled out my wand and actually remember that to make light you say "lumos". So now I had a light and could see where I was flying.
I panicked though, I could no longer see the illuminated shape to follow. I yelled out for Hermione, but she could still see it, there had just been a building in the way. We kept flying towards it for what felt like ages, until suddenly we lost it. None of us could see it anymore, but it had still been really really far off. Strangley it also started to become a lot lighter, til it felt like the middle of the day already. It seemed a bit weird but maybe we'd just been flying a lot longer and further than we thought. We stopped flying and hovered for a while discussing what we'd do, maybe she'd have to go all the way back to hogwarts and try again another night and be faster so we didn't lose the shape. The other two kep talking when I looked around and realised the place looked really familiar. I told them, "Hey you guys, um, I think we ARE in Australia. Look at all the trees, and the buildings." It was pretty obvious now that we all looked around, we drifted down to the ground and there were Australian trees and buildings all built around a river surrounded by people wearing thongs. We donned our thongs and pulled off our wizard capes and set off exploring.
I decided we should buy some food, which is about the point where the dream lost the plot and we didnt really try looking for any more clues about saving the world. We did buy hot dogs from a shop (a Wendy's rip off) run by Asians (we were definitely in Australia). We basically ran out of money then but Hermione has brought her credit card (she had rich dentist parents, I didnt, I certainly didnt have a credit card) so she was able to get cash from an international ATM.
Nothing else happened...unfortunately there was no indication of what we had to do in Australia. Oh well I'm sure we would have worked it out, especially since I was Harry Potter (meaning there were now two girls and one boy in the group, so productivity would have tripled).

Sleep deprived
I neeeed sleep. My sleep cycle has been messed up so much lately. Last night I stayed up sort of late after sleeping during the day yesterday due to not sleeping at all the night before. That's how it's been lately. It always seems fun to pull an all nighter until you end up with black rings under your eyes and feel like you are dying of influenza...
Even so right now I am sitting on the couch idly writing a blog entry while occasionally glancing up at the TV (which is on the fashion channel). I am currently listening to ABBA, so all in all I can pretty safely say I am doing nothing useful, and yet I still don't sleep.
Why does my subconscious brain have to be so stubborn when it comes to sleep? Maybe it thinks I will miss anything exciting and interesting that happens after I lose consciousness. Or maybe it thinks that sleeping is a waste of time when I could be doing so many things instead.
That second option is all very well except that I am too tired to do anything, quite simply am NOT doing anything, and have no problems wasting half my life sleeping in even when I actually have things that need doing.
I think tomorrow I'll make a new dress to wear to Jason's birthday bash on tuesday night.
I say that now but there's no way it will actually happen.
Sigh.
Goodnight blog.
I'm not really going to sleep.

Seriously ATOMIC shoes.
So today I am in Hiroshima.
I have been here for a few days, I don't remember which day I got here but I think I've slept on this particular futon for about three nights. Maybe.
Hiroshima is probably the prettiest out of all the Japanese cities I've been to so far (Osaka, Nara, Kyoto briefly Okayama and here). Maybe it's the presence of a decent sized park in the middle of the place that I like. I'm not too sure. But anyway, it is very nice.
Right now Tom is at the arcade (or maybe on his way home from the arcade by now). We went out for dinner and then he went straight to the arcade, so I had to walk home by myself. It's kind of funny in Japanese cities when you feel as though you are walking down a seedy backstreet, but in reality it's just another road. So many of the streets except the real main ones are tiny. For a few minutes I felt like I was walking down some shady alley, but then I zoned back in to life and realised there were a whole bunch of people in eyesight, some of them also single females, so there was really not too much cause for concern.
Hiroshima is definitely the most historically interesting city I've been to so far. Tonight for example I walked home past the A-bomb dome, the only building left as it was straight after the atomic bomb hit the place. Right now it's covered in scaffolding because they're surveying its condition, but you can still clearly see it. Then I walked over the T-shaped bridge, which was the target the bomb was aimed at. I turned left in the middle of the T and walked past the Peace Memorial Park, past the Korean bomb victims memorial and the mound which contains the ashes of 10,000 bomb victims.
It's pretty strange to be walking around this normal modern city full of regular young people having a good time and enjoying life and then remembering how just at the end of WWII, not that long ago, the whole place was annihilated instantly by a single bomb.
We went to the Peace Memorial Museum the other day which was really interesting and incredibly sad. There are models of the city centre as it was before the bomb, and immediately after. The first one is a city full of green trees and houses and (though they aren't in the model city) lots and lots of people working outside for the war effort. The second model is a flattened burnt black nothing, with a couple of concrete skeletons here and there.
The A-bomb dome isn't the best example of what happened. I never really knew that when I was younger, and I guess I never thought about it too much, but the domed building is only still here because it was the closest surviving structure to the blast. The patches off ground around it containing nothing are probably a better example of what the place looked like, except you'd have to set it on fire and add some people suffering radiation burns to their entire bodies and slowly dying in agonising pain.
Anyone who visits Japan and travels around at all should definitely come see Hiroshima and visit the museum. I think just for a laugh they should get Harry Truman to stand at the exit and keep a tally of how many people punch him in the face.
I found these fantastic boots in a store here yesterday. They were a bit like converses in design, but they were knee high boots with stiletto heels. They were lined with red plaid and looked awesome with the top folded down.
Only problem is that this is Japan, and Japanese girls apparently have tiny feet. So far I haven't noticed cute shoes that come in a size LL, but I'm hoping I might find some before I go (on sale, preferably).
I also found some rainbow hair extensions that looked fun. I might go buy them tomorrow if I get bored. Or maybe the pink and black ones. But, on the other hand, I could always just dye my hair those colours. I'll see.
I could go nuts here shopping though. There are SO MANY cute things. So far all I've bought is one top, two little toys out of vending machines that look like guinea pigs and some fake eyelashes, but I'm yet to really go shopping.
I'm kind of saving it for Tokyo because I figure I'll be able to find pretty much everything I've seen somewhere there, and more.
The good news is that the dollar went up a bit today. I hope it keeps going up. Then down as soon as we go home. Do that please, dollar. Arigatou gozaimas.

Japan Day 1
So today I am in Japan.
I got here last night, with the lovely Tom. So far it has been interesting. Interesting and confusing. Its weird, the people here speak some strange foreign dialect which I don't understand.
And this keyboard is covered in funny squiggly things.
Not like any keyboard I've ever seen before.
So today Tom and I managed to use a ticket vending machine. We discovered that they actually have an "english" option (which is handy).
This morning we went to Osaka station and just wandered around that part of the city, around some shops and places. There are lots of cute clothes here. Its disappointing that I don't have zillions of yen to spend on clothes.
Oh well, bye for now, blog, sir.

It's kind of silly.
I downloaded Skype because Capsicum was all like, Skype is the most awesome thing on the planet besides Norway and its inhabitants...but without any Skype contacts it sucks.
Um, if you have Skype, humour me by adding me? I'll probably never use it because really I like to just type I guess...and you can't sneakily scratch way up inside your nose when people can see you...
Ugh I'm watching MTV. Haha. It's stupid...they have a Next marathon on.
For those of you who don't know, Next is possibly the stupidest show on television. Basically the premise is that a bunch of over stereotyped American youths go on heavily scripted and extravagant dates and reject each other in cliched and often blatantly racist ways. Featuring ugly men and an endless supply of bleach blonde girls in denim mini skirts, it's obvious why I love it so much.
All the same it's terribly amusing.
Better than FOX News that's for sure.

Earmuffs and candy and watch and clickety click and Japan.
Warning: contains a lot of babbling about trivial parts of my life.
I haven't written a blog entry for such a long time that I'm not sure where to begin. So many things have happened between now and the last time I posted anything here, but nothing particularly exciting. Nothing that stands out from the rest as something I should write about.
But whatever, I'm writing now so I may as well fill up a little bit more space with some more words.
So since the last time I wrote I graduated from Harvard university with a law degree, as you may or may not have already heard. I have since taken a position in a Hollywood law firm which mostly represents clients we can't name due to their outstanding monetary value.
Having won a major case for an unnamed client last month, I have earned a substantial amount for such a recent graduate and am considering retiring next year and moving to a little cottage in Denmark with Tom so we can live happily ever after and get married and have children.
Okay well not quite.........well that was all a load of crap because I never went to Harvard or studied law or went to Hollywood or won a case or made lots of money and I can't retire next year or go to Denmark and Tom doesn't like marriage and it's a terrible thing to have children outside of wedlock, as we all surely know.
It is such a terrible shame when I am enjoying the clickety click noise of the keyboard getting hit so nice and fast but have nothign to write about in particular so I end up writing a long stream of nonsense.
Well I suppose I sould write some updates on my life.
I bought some earmuffs but they haven't arrived yet. They were cheap Jack Skellington ones from Hong Kong but it's okay because I didn't buy them for their fantastic quality. Most of the better quality ones I found on ebay were made of fur anyway. And I can't buy fur for ethical reasons and I also can't wear fur for allergy reasons.
There were also some cute hats on ebay which unfortunately all seemed to be made of rabbit fur. I would probably die if I wore rabbit fur.
I got a new watch and a whole bunch of candy for free yesterday because me and Capsicum went to visit her mum on the last day of her holiday here in Brisbane. Since she didn't want to take all this stuff back home with them, she gave us a bunch of chocolate bars and lollies and gave me another bag of lollies as well because Capsicum wouldn't eat them due to her diet. She also had a little bag of watches and gave me one. Capsicum's grandma had apparently left them all with her.
So I scored a new watch.
I played Fallout three for like half an hour but then was tired and got pissed off at my siblings constantly telling me what to do and Erikka telling me I was "grumpy" every five seconds (which she does a lot and thinks is HILARIOUS but in reality is just goddamn ANNOYING) and stopped playing. Then everyone else hogged the xbox til we left and I couldn't play it again.
Thomas and I bought our rail passes for Japan so now when we go there we can get a lot of trains.
We are going to Japan on the 25th of this month, which means I have to get myself aa colouring book.
For the plane ride.
Time to visit Crazy Chang's.

Having won a major case for an unnamed client last month, I have earned a substantial amount for such a recent graduate and am considering retiring next year and moving to a little cottage in Denmark with Tom so we can live happily ever after and get married and have children.
Okay well not quite.........well that was all a load of crap because I never went to Harvard or studied law or went to Hollywood or won a case or made lots of money and I can't retire next year or go to Denmark and Tom doesn't like marriage and it's a terrible thing to have children outside of wedlock, as we all surely know.
It is such a terrible shame when I am enjoying the clickety click noise of the keyboard getting hit so nice and fast but have nothign to write about in particular so I end up writing a long stream of nonsense.
Well I suppose I sould write some updates on my life.
I bought some earmuffs but they haven't arrived yet. They were cheap Jack Skellington ones from Hong Kong but it's okay because I didn't buy them for their fantastic quality. Most of the better quality ones I found on ebay were made of fur anyway. And I can't buy fur for ethical reasons and I also can't wear fur for allergy reasons.
There were also some cute hats on ebay which unfortunately all seemed to be made of rabbit fur. I would probably die if I wore rabbit fur.
I got a new watch and a whole bunch of candy for free yesterday because me and Capsicum went to visit her mum on the last day of her holiday here in Brisbane. Since she didn't want to take all this stuff back home with them, she gave us a bunch of chocolate bars and lollies and gave me another bag of lollies as well because Capsicum wouldn't eat them due to her diet. She also had a little bag of watches and gave me one. Capsicum's grandma had apparently left them all with her.
So I scored a new watch.
I played Fallout three for like half an hour but then was tired and got pissed off at my siblings constantly telling me what to do and Erikka telling me I was "grumpy" every five seconds (which she does a lot and thinks is HILARIOUS but in reality is just goddamn ANNOYING) and stopped playing. Then everyone else hogged the xbox til we left and I couldn't play it again.
Thomas and I bought our rail passes for Japan so now when we go there we can get a lot of trains.
We are going to Japan on the 25th of this month, which means I have to get myself aa colouring book.
For the plane ride.
Time to visit Crazy Chang's.
