It's very strange… recently I've been reading the online diary of a girl, the diary itself is quite good, but the strange thing is the peculiar similarities between my life long ago and hers now. Memories which had long ago settled in to the dim past were being stirred again by what she wrote. I don't want to mention this to her, mainly because I don't want to weird her out, but I guess I am grateful to remember my past through her present.

Last night there was a Jellybabies girls get-together to see Angela Jolie in "Tomb Raider" (Jellybabies is the ANU Queer Social group). There were five of us, and after the movie (not bad, but kind of forgettable) we hiked around the corner to Café Essen and spent two hours sitting around chatting which was nice. Jenni and I had originally intended to go around to Emma's place, but by this time it was 11:30 pm and freezing and so we went home.

Today is my last real day of slackness, tomorrow is archery and armouring and then everyone will be back from the conference on Monday and my supervisor will probably have a big pile of corrections for me to work on. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I also found another quite good job advert for Miami, Florida paying US$25,000 which is enough to get me drooling…
