It feels very strange being able the blog again without backing up the SQL database after posting. You’d think with all these days off I’d be able to come up with some good blogging material but I’ve failed miserably. In fact I’ve spent most of yesterday and the day before asleep! I have to start going to bed early this week though, I’ll be driving down the Canterbury on Thursday so I might want to be awake for that! I find it useful to be awake whilst driving!

Well I suppose I do have *some* things to talk about.

Firstly if you want an easy $25 and subsequently more money sign up to auction ads their currently doing a promotion that gives all new publishers $25 instantly!

As of last Saturday (the 8th September) it was exactly a month until my 20th birthday. There’s absolutely nothing great about turning 20, trust me, I googled it. Not only am I no longer a reckless teenager so I don’t have that old excuse to fall back on, but I’m considered responsible. I don’t know where the world is coming to if I’m considered responsible! I can’t even look after a cactus without killing it. (I’ve killed 3)

I’ve also had the requests from my parents about what I want for my birthday, My mum even asked me to write a list! Sadly I know I’m getting old when that list consists of things I consider useful. When your young people give you socks and tshirts and you hate them but when your older socks and tshirts is money saved that you can spend getting wasted.

I really can’t think of many things I want. I’ve had an urge to watch the Terminator films recently because I keep missing them when their on TV so I wouldn’t mind the Terminator Trilogy, I do have a huge wishlist, and I really do mean wishlist. In fact all its really there for is for when I get paid I can buy myself something and feel happy! I don’t even think many people know I have one! Its here if your wondering.

Birthdays aside we went to the Garden centre on Saturday to get some plants for the garden. I love looking at the fish they have there, so now I’ve decided I want to get tropical fish again! We used to have them in Singapore. I want lots of tetras and shrimpy things, because their all so fascinating to watch.

We also found what I went there for, my chilli plant! I’ve wanted one for ages. I wanted to grow them from seed but there were some pretty ones already there that I was less likely to kill so we got one of those with a pretty colour co-ordinated plant pot.

Have a polaroid style photo! (isn’t photoshop cool!)
Three of the chillies are ready to eat so I’m going to try them soon! I want to pickle some of them, pickled chilli’s are lovely and I might dry some! I’m not entirely sure which species it is, but I *think* its a prairie fire, I’ve only going off google here mind! They look pretty similar though

Finally though and most excitingly - I’ve finished apricot13.org its now a good little photoblog/portfolio! Tell me what you think! I need to work on whoring myself out a bit more on it but I’m not very good at that, my personal statement was rubbish! Don’t forget to Subscribe!
