Hello reader,
I’m back! It’s been a long absence and not an easy one. I
moved back home about 13 days ago and the first week back I took charge of
cleaning the house from top to bottom and I nearly threw my back out. Not to
mention I was bitten by a spider. That was my entire fault though; I was in the
storehouse in flip flops, rattling around looking for things. I would have been
shocked if I didn't sustain a spider bite but thank goodness it wasn't a
venomous one!
My lack of blogging isn’t the result of being busy. Sure,
there’ve been a lot of changes in my life but the one thing preventing me from
blogging was the lack of internet. As I’ve mentioned before, I use a 4 year old
Blackberry which is like 86 years old in phone years and sadly it’s nearing its
end and isn’t working as smoothly as it ever was. I have to put it in the
freezer in order to use it. Perhaps if I move to the Arctic it’ll run like new.
Anyway, I couldn’t really blog from my phone and I was going through various
stages of blogging withdrawal. A week ago I finally got wifi internet which is
truly an amazing thing because the last time we had internet in our household
was before the days of Tumblr and Twitter. We had the old phone line internet
and the bill was enormous so my mum decided that we didn’t really need
internet. That would have been unheard of today.
During the past week I was at my aunt’s place, helping her
out with her laptop. I’m a computer genius it seems, even if I struggled to
connect her printer but even geniuses make mistakes. *shrug* Today I’m back
home and I’m keen to go back into the grind of blogging, working on my art and
writing. I’m currently remodeling and redecorating my room so I don’t yet have
a desk. I’m typing this sitting on the floor of my room with the computer
perched on a chair (my brother’s improvisation- as I’ve found when I returned
from my aunt’s). It’s not so bad and I’m excited to see how my room turns out.
I have a twin bed that I’ve transformed into a sofa and a nice, nifty book
shelf. Both these things are my favourite since I like to read. I can lie down
or sit up *asdfghjkl! I’m still to paint
my room. I wanted black, mum said I was crazy (understandable). I decided to
compromise on grey (I’ve got too many grey things anyway), mum said white (no
one should touch my walls then) so white it is. Currently the whole room-
including the ceiling- is painted lavender, courtesy of my darling older
brother, bless his heart. I am still to remove posters and pictures from
teenage years off my bedroom door. Let’s just say Taylor Lautner rules my door.
But at least I have a picture of Beyoncé,
right?
Erhmahgherd guys I have internet!! Granted, I’ll probably
blow the majority of my data browsing Tumblr (I dare not go on YouTube) but
dang it! I’ve got internet! It’s
expensive but I’ve got internet! HOW RAD? This means that I’ll be able to do a
lot of the things that I want to and more! Access to the internet should be a
basic human right if you ask me.
If you’re cool too and have a Tumblr, you can follow me

*You know how when some people are excited about something
they type ‘asdfghjkl’? I’ve always thought that they just punched random
letters on their keyboard until I recently. They are just all of the letters
from the second row on the keyboard. I felt like such a doof! *facepalm* You
learn something new every day. Asdfghjkl!
What are looking forward to these festive holidays? Let me
know! I’d love to read your comments and get into the festive spirit by eating
copious amounts of custard!
‘Til next time,
-Bella
