OMGOMGOMG

Nightwish are coming out here on the 23rd of March next year! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

They’re playing at the Metro. I’ve just ordered tickets, and put in a day-off request for the 24th. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

Hehe, we’re finally breaking out all the Christmas decorations at work. ๐Ÿ™‚

(I so need to start bringing my proper digital camera to work, heh.)

EDIT: Oh yes, and the call centre manager came around earlier and gave everyone a little packet of chocolate biscuits that she’d baked last night. ๐Ÿ™‚

Sweet…Dad and I just finished mounting the wolf poster I got when we went to Dreamworld. ๐Ÿ™‚

๐Ÿ˜€

I got home at 4:10 this morning, after playing Magic all night at a friend’s place. ๐Ÿ™‚

One of my friends, Millsy, went over to England in early August, and was planning to spend about nine months there. I was talking to him on ICQ yesterday, asked him what he was doing, and he said it was 3am, he’d just finished work (he was working at a pub) and was sitting down for a pint.

Fast forward to a couple of hours into our Magic night last night, there’s a knock and the door, everyone yells, “Come in, James!” (thinking it was another friend), and in bursts Millsy! The fucker had actually arrived back here at 8:30 yesterday morning, and said he’d been hiding in his house all day so none of us would see him. ๐Ÿ˜‰

His opinion of England? “It sucks!”. And he was actually born there, heh. Although he moved over here when he was 4 or so.

Hopefully we’re having welcome back drinks at his house tonight! (Read: a good excuse to get drunk. ;))

UPDATE: w00t! We are indeed heading over to Millsy’s for large amounts of drinking. ๐Ÿ˜€

And lastly, random quizzes!

You scored as alternative. You’re partially respected for being an individual in a conformist world yet others take you as a radical. You have no place in society because you choose not to belong there – you’re the luckiest of them all, even if your parents are completely ashamed of you. Just don’t take drugs ok?

One of the first pics from the new camera!

(And no, it’s not a very good pic, I know…it was just a random snap. ;))

Whee!

Last week we had the latest Call Centre Quarterly Excellence awards…and I won something again. ๐Ÿ˜€

This time I got a Canon Ixus 500 digital camera, a flask (which looks suspiciously like a vibrator in the pic, heh), and a certificate. ๐Ÿ˜€

Hahah!

That’s especially amusing considering my friend and I went down to the Mall yesterday and bought a box of boosters each (36 boosters, each booster contains 15 cards each. $180. Yes, I am an über-geek).

Phew! I’m finally back from Queensland. ๐Ÿ™‚

We left last Saturday, and arrived back this evening a bit before 6pm. We were staying at The Beach House in Coolangatta, on the Gold Coast. The rooms were quite awesome, and the view! Holy crap. The Beach House is 17 stories, and we were on the 16th floor, facing the beach and the ocean. ๐Ÿ™‚

We went to Dreamworld on Tuesday, which was quite awesome. Other than that we didn’t do all that much…wandered around Coolangatta, taking in the sights. I took a bunch of pics, mostly from our balcony and from the beach (see here).

My favourite pic would have to be this one:

Surfers + balconies at night 1

I’m going to invest in a tripod for my camera, I think, and check out how much lenses are as well…

Now, to catch up on a week’s worth of news and LJ entries… ๐Ÿ˜‰
