Over the last few months I have gained a liking toward the little seed. In fact, I have a whole box full of the shells (Yep, I now collect pistacio shells along with sugar sachets, but more about that later).
Maybe it's because it actually gives my hands (and sometimes teeth) something to do. And the shells are deliciously salty. The shells? Yes, you must of course suck them before you break the little suckers open.
It is with great regret to inform you that the bowl in front og me is now empty, save for the shells. I know there are pistacios at sundry locations around my room, I shall seek them out later.
So, I suppose you are wondering why the heck I decided to dedicate an entire post to my love of pistacios?
Well because I am very distressed. Pistacios are a coping method.
or maybe I am just not normal.
But anyway, my poor poor garath may not make it!
Damn holidays!
I put him outside for a week; We had to go away on mega fun caravaning holiday (more about that later also).
It din't rain, and got very hot.
I am very distressed, he must survive!

New Years Resolutions.
So it's that time of year again, where we drag ourselves out of bed (maybe) and all the promises we made to ourselves last night die much more quickly than the throbbing pain coming from our heads. Yes, new years resolutions are a pain in the arse. So whatever you made yourself promise to do during the obligatory New Year smooch fest (I got got 3-4 times), how is it faring the morning after?
This year, I made a very simple on with my best friend: Alcohol, Parties and Boys. Sounds simple, achievable and guilt free. Of course it does entail greater expectations than 2008 after new years resolutions.
Last year it was simple; Kiss as many boys as possible (well I'm sure it would have counted with girls as well, but as far as I know I'm straight...). My mother's loopy friend Leanne between sips of whatever alcoholic drink tasted good at the time declared this our competition of the year.
I was beaten, disasterously. 5-1. It was very disappointing. I think I may have to put a little more effort in this year. it is just that Mel has a much greater tendency to get with various males, they all lover her. i am doomed to spend the rest of my existance with unrequited love, crying everywhere when the walk past whilst I am at work. Silly males.
So back to the subject my *Actual* New year's resolution last year, given to me and Mel by mother's other not-quite-so loopy friend was:
"Always follow your heart and stay true to yourself"
So I wonder how well I achieved that. I suppose I did. I have been myslef most of this year, I've done things on a whim and tried hard in more places than just schoolwork (which I was awesomely nerdy at=]). I think starting my film making *career* counts, as does starting going to Youth Group, Starting not going to Youth Group, My music, and accepting who I am.
I wonder how well mel achieved that resolution? Her 2008 was not a good year, but perhaps she is satisfied which what she achieved. Probably not, but 2009 will be a great year I hope, for both of us (Alcohol, paries and boys!) haha.
So moving away from the mushiness, how did everyone go on their 2008 resolutions?
What are they for 2009? Or are they all doomed?
I decided I would remember to water my plant. I shall be right back.
...
My plant is doing great. I've messed up his phototropisms though.
Nerdtalk. Google it.
Well good luck with all the resoluions. Mine never last so may you do better than me!

The Epic Blog
A Belated Merry Christmas and a happy 2009 to all my avid readers.
And to you my blog, for making it this far.
Updates in my world:
Romy has returned form her Japanese trip, so we decided to have a party. It was rather awkward however when there were random aquaintences and boyfriends turning up. It resulted in a somewhat pissed off Romy, an orgy-fest in the pool, and nighmarish results of sugar mixing with squirty cream and silly sdtring. Thankfully I didn't have to clean it up:)
So we all escaped into the house, watched a slideshow, then played many hours of Buzz, which I am the king of.
Our next little shindig will go better though, less randoms, more party games i think. Yes, we are all hardcore.
For christmas I scored a little camcorder. It was excellent:) I have so far only filmed Christmas day/night, boxing day, another social gathering, and new years eve. So mostly my parents drinking alcohol (my father has a new 1 litre beer mug...).
So i get to edit all of that along with my other film expeditions.
On the subject of drinking parents, it is really quite sad really. Last night, after working all day, I was up till 2:45 or so, I was falling asleep in my chair (and no, I wasn't drunk, I was plesantly sober) so I went to bed. My parents and Co. didn't make their way to their rooms till the later half of 4 am.
It worries me at times. I don't think they are alcoholics, just social...
I just think it is sad that they can outdo me every time:S
Well I shall be back shortly, so until then, stay strong with the New Years resolutions, keep taking the painkillers, and have a great new year:)
