happy holidays!

so right now i'm watching the music videos on the special features part of the movie dirty dancing. it's a monday night, my roommates are both gone, and i can't sleep. after watching paranormal activity, my nights are a bit restless. i just can't get that last scene out of my head! (shudder).

anyhow, i have a new job. i'm working at a little cafe/restaurant in an area called double bay. i start tomorrow! after slightly panicking, i got offered three jobs in a matter of four days! i'm just glad it's all sorted. i need to start earning money again, stat! i'm supposed to go to asia in february, up the east coast in march, and then asia again in april/may! can't wait to start traveling again, but until then, i have to work my BUTT off!

also, i started going to the gym again. i've been almost every day for the past two weeks. and i lost 16% of my body fat in that short amount of time. isn't that amazing?? i almost think it was a mistake... but it brought a smile to my face nevertheless. all those times i thought i was about to pass out from running so hard on the treadmill is actually doing something! wahoo! i would say that i want to look fabulous for NYE, but i have no plans!! most of my friends will probably be working... and no one bought tickets anywhere... i'm just hoping someone will have a house party. it's going to be hard to top the past couple new years (miami, london...). i'm not trying to stress it, because i'm sure sydney will be epic.

not much more to report on. i got kind of burned by a guy that i was semi-not-really-but-sort-of interested in. basically, i went out with him monday and found out he had a date with a friend of mine friday. oh well. these things happen. i must say, that while i've been dissapointed on several occassions, it's fun having little crushes here and there. i'd rather keep meeting loads of people, regardless of whether it pans out, opposed to not meeting anyone of consequence at all.

a bit random, but dude.... brittany murphy died?!?! crazy. i liked her. no matter how many movies she did though, she'll always be "ty" in clueless. EPIC! i still remember this little yellow plaid skirt i had when i was 11, complete with knee highs, that i bought in an effort to actually become alicia silverstone.

to everyone i know -- merry christmas and happy new year! i'll be celebrating my orphan christmas on the beach with friends, cocktails, and live music. bummer, huh?
