Grace In Small Things #4
I think it’s time for another Grace In Small Things.
Grace In Small Things #2
Not much has happened in the past week other than heaps of time spent with boyfriend and just lazying around and doing nothing because of the holidays, but back to uni next week 
Due to being out so much, haven’t had the opportunity to tidy up and organise room.. maybe tomorrow and really get down to it… hopefully.
So, not much to update.. that is all~
So. Exams are over and I am officially on break! YUS!~ =D
Nothing much planned other than Taupo =) and heaaaaps of sleeep (not that I don’t already get enough during the semester~ 
)
And not much of a “meaningful” post other than that I wanted to let you know of those small insignficant things..oh, and will be away till end of next week just in case you were wondering why I wasn’t updating
Hope all of you have an awesome holiday if you are on it and if not, have a great week ^^
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn’t always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place, Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I’m A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Old Entry follows….. written Sept 10, 08. And I like the quote in this entry! lol..
—-
Damnit! I want to be paid already!! I have not been paid for like five weeks that I have been working.. (I don’t think I will disclose where I work…. I might at a later buuut yeah, paranoia.. whatever.. ><) coz of some stuff/kinks with my contract… *sigh*
The sucky thing is that they pay wages like fortnightly! I hate getting paid fortnightly (though I should be happy that I am like [at some stage] getting money/paid at all!). I got paid fortnightly when I worked at Whitcoulls. Sucked. But, hey money is money however often you get paid~
So yeah, going to enquire and talk about that with my boss tomorrow when I work tomorrow. Hopefully I don’t have to wait another two weeks to receieve money…. that would suck! =_=
Choices….. today I got asked by my one of my friends this question:
If you had to choose between your lover and your friends, which would you choose and why.
That is a hard question. It is one of those questions that when you are faced with.. you will answer.. The type of questions that you will only know when you, yourself is in that you would really know?
Well.. for me, anyway.
I replied with the above and that it would depend on a number of factors including how long the relationship has been, if there was like a real definite future in the relationship, if the relationship/lover is worth it to give up your friends for..
I would seriously not know.. until I am actually in the situation. I don’t particularly like hypothetical situations.. I am still thinking about…. I hope I am never faced with that question..
Life Changes. A flatmate, has I think officially moved out tonight…. and the other flatmate is going to be moving out soon….. *sigh* Changes… grown so accustomed to this like… routine… of like mostly being the only one home while they like worked most days…. hmmm and like then them being home like at nights.. I’m going to miss that. I don’t like change that much. But, I guess change happens whether you like it or not.. =\
One of the flatmates like said I could come but… I dunno.. quite like the apartment and the close proximity to uni and everything else.. and also the cheapness of it…. on a week with having to pay expenses, it’s $140.. including rent, power, landline, internet and hot water..
An old flatmate and his girlfriend are moving in along with their current flatmate, I think… and I dunno but… I am thinking like negatively of the situation like that something will happen….. I don’t want to elaborate too much but… I dunno. Maybe everything will be alright and okay and I’m just worrying and thinking too much and also being maybe a tad, well, negative..
I dunno.
Soo.. the stuff that needs to be done before the end of today:
Yeah. That’s about it. Not much eh.. so should be easily done. Well… also keep in mind, that, I have just woken up like literally 35 minutes ago! Lol…
So. It will be a good idea, I think, to get up now! I was going to go to the Avondale (Flea) Markets but… well the only reason I was going to go was to fruit & vegetable shop but my Mum said she’d do it, so I continued sleeping.. while also debating whether I should go, its a good day! Very sunny… well not like I have gone outside and seen but yeah~ lol ^^ Seems that way from here, from behind the curtains!
