I love you guys so hard. Thanks for everything yesterday with my uh kinda-sorta, semi, really small breakdown

So last night was kind of a low for me - after that post was made I chucked a major tantrum - like throwing books across my room, swearing and slamming doors tantrum - very worthy of a 2 year old. Amazingly I didn't wake anyone else up in the house - even though I have no door to my room and it was 2 in the morning. Good news is that my computer is semi-fixed, I can use it but I'm a bit hesitant to put any strain on it until I can wipe the hard disk and reprogram it again, I have everything backed-up, I'm not going to lose anything but I will have a nice, semi-new shiny computer that actually works! But that won't happen for a couple of weeks - that means icons might be a bit scarce for a while.

Tonight a couple of Kenyan women come over for dinner - mum had meet them while gardening out the front and they wanted to meet me, I got a heap of awesome advice and an offer to stay with Minnie's family in the highlands of Kenya - it would be awesome to do so. They also gave me a kickarse necklace, as seen below (I so was a game show hostess in my previous life), and Lillie and Dad got into a discussion with them about the effect of the expansion of the British empire. It was fun all round, and in a couple of weeks we're going down the street to their place for traditional African food, should be very, very yum.

Oh! I passed the first of the two tests you need to get my license, oh yay, I don't know who's idea it was to encourage me to drive - I despise it with passion. I hate having that kind of responsibility over a vehicle I feel is just inside my control - plus I am so going to end up the driver for ALL my friends - none of them are really even thinking of getting their license.

On Monday I get my exams results back, nearly only four days. I'm so freaking out - what happens if I can't get the score I want to get into the course I want and then I end up having to apply for a job a Maccas - which won't take me anyway because by then I'll be too old and living off the dole - and I'll never achieve my plan for world domination peace!! /hysterical

Oh and thanks LJ for the sending of the comments you didn't send before - two weeks late.

I totally wish I could throw that kind of tantrum. Problem is there really isn't much in my room right now to trash. And my door's a thin hollow-core dore that doesn't slam well, unfortunately. Believe me, I've tried. The only doors that slam well are the exterior doors and my brother's door, since he has a nice re-modeled room. (I love how he's had his room re-modeled twice and my parents are just now getting to mine. I had to deal with '70s-kitsch wallpaper and ugly-ass gold carpet since I was 4.)


Very nice necklace. Though it being made out of bone ups the ick factor.


Oh, and don't feel bad. Driving here, especially when it's raining or snowing, is hazardous, mostly because of the fuckwits on the road are too damn scared to drive and end up causing more accidents than if they weren't being stupid. And you have to pass 3? Damn! I wish! Then most of the idiots might be kept off the road here. At least I'm not driving people around. I took people home a few times because their rides either weren't available or they bailed. On the bright side for you, you might be able to charge them gas money. *g*


As far as your exam scores goes, think happy thoughts.


Yeah, it's really helpful when they send them two weeks late, isn't it?*sporks LJ* They're STILL having problems with sending them out, even though they say they fixed the problem. I'll believe it when I see it.

When I get tired and things just don't work I tend to regress and throw tantrums, I shouldn't but they make me feel silly and my problems then don't seem so big. I don't have a door to my room at all - so I slammed the bathroom door and throw my heavy art books around the room - and pillows, throwing pillows is a really good way to get out anger - and they don't break things which is good when the tantrum is over.

I feel kind of creepy wearing bone around my neck - but I just can't resist the pretty!

To get your P's here - which are like a half license, you can drive without someone else in the car but you can't drink at all and there is a limited amount of vehicles you can drive - you have to pass a computer test, then an eye sight test and then a actual in the car driving test. Its all pretty scary. I drove during a really heavy thunderstorm the other day and it was so, so, so scary and bad - and then I accidentally left the head lights on and drained the battery.

I'm thinking happy thoughts - but not good because I don't want to be disappointed.

I'm getting comments now like 4 hours after they were posted! It’s so irritating!
