An amazing workmate has just given me the gift of Gold Class tickets to the Force Awakens.


I love him forever!!

I still can't get over how relieving it feels to bind.
My shoulders and neck relax, my posture when sitting/standing improves, I feel less nervous (both when I'm alone and around others), and it's easier to breathe (for some odd reason)


Not really sure why tho. Could be that it's all in my head, but even if that'd be the case, I don't care.
I feel good and that's all that matters.

Today started off shit when I got into some gaming and could do nothing but fail at whatever it was I was playing: hardcore or casual.

But then, I stopped gaming for the time being. I started talking to friends, made some jokes with said friends, did some roleplays off-site and worked on my characters. After that, I picked up some of the games I'd been failing at rather tentatively... and they started going great. And among that, there are ticket openings to The Force Awakens in my area on Tuesday for six bucks, and well, I made a new friend to top it all off.

I'm glad I stayed positive and didn't just huddle up away from things, or I would have never seen the turnaround so well.

Decided to risk it and go to my grandparents' place for christmas.
First thing that happens is that the infernal loud-ticking alarm clock from the deepest circle of hell ran out of batteries (Normally I rip them out first thing I do when I get to the room. According to my brother it was still alive and ticking when he left to come pick me up.)
A tiny little christmas miracle.


And today, I got a super-fluffy sheepskin rug as an "early" christmas gift. Kinda random I suppose, but I've been wanting one for a while now<3

My expensive ($150) earphones fell apart, so I bought some super glue and masking tape and fixed them with a nice fix, the little successes make the day go by much better

Friend: "So err, you want undertale right?"

Me: "Eh, get me whatever"

Friend: "But I don't know what you would prefer."

Me: "I don't mind! Just buy me something random."

Friend: "I know, lets buy you everything on your steam wishlist!"

Me: "I can't argue with that. "

Friend: "Ok then"

...

Me: "Wait what?"

Friend: "I got you everything!"

Me: "...O_O..."


I could hug my friend right now. I literally want to walk tens of miles, and hug him.

Gates to open for Rattler volunteers
9th January 2016 6:00 AM

Rattler volunteers will soon be allowed back into the railway yards, signalling renewed optimism the cherished tourist icon will one day operate again.
by Arthur Gorrie
MARY Valley Rattler volunteers are delighted they will soon be welcomed back into the old Gympie railway yards, where they once kept Gympie's favourite train ride rolling along.

Volunteer advocate Ken Coulter has told of his new optimism as a result of advice from the Rattler Railway Company after a workshop with government funding advisers.

Tourism portfolio councillor and Mary Valley representative Julie Walker on Friday said there was a new optimism, especially among volunteers who were "champing at the bit".


Rattler Railway Company acting chairman Ian McNicol stressed the company was not pre-empting a government funding decision.

"We're putting out best foot forward," board member Garry Davison said.

"We want to get some jobs done that need to be done."

That included timber renovation, painting, weeding and general maintenance work.



Mr McNicol reported recently (and with apparent enthusiasm) on a September meeting facilitated by the State Government.

It had been attended by departmental representatives, local and regional tourism organisations, Gympie Regional Council, Rattler board members and MP Tony Perrett.

"The workshop provided a review of the RRC business plan recommendations and identified further requirements needed to develop business case options for the reintroduction of the Valley Rattler operation on a sustainable basis," he said.

And that means new hope, despite the cautious wording.

"While not pre-empting the State Government decision on funding, the RRC, with support from the council, plans to commence activities at the Gympie Station and workshop precinct early in the new year," he said.

And that was enough to put smiles on a lot of faces.

"I haven't been privy to the conversations, but the feeling is more positive than it has been for a while," Cr Walker said.

My PC is back in action!

As some of you might know, I've recently been, and am to some extent still, going through a pretty rough time.
I also managed to misplace all my christmas money and have been searching almost all over for it for a few days now.
I was just about to have a breakdown (I had faint memories of keeping the money in a chocolate box and some other faint memories of throwing away said box, so things started to feel rather hopeless) since I had finished searching through all the logical (and slightly-less-logical) places for the money. But then they magically turned up in the most unexpected place ever.
On the clothes rack, in a pile of folded clothes. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.


This is the second time I've searched like an idiot for something only to have the lost item(s) turn up in some really weird place.
Not too long ago I found my Xbox controllers buried in my sock-basket, and now this.
