What's Going On?

Funnily enough, I've been pretty slack on the whole Van List thing ever since I stopped travelling in the van.

But for various very complicated reasons (work gave me a laptop so I actually have access from home now) I've decided just to take up the blog again, and start updating about random stuff that's been happening, while still trying to knock items off the list.

So here's what's been happening:
I lived in Coffs Harbour with my Uncle for about a month around May.
I worked as a Carnie for a weekend
I moved to Brisbane in June-ish
I got a job as a door-knocking-fruit-spruiking-annoying-as-all-hell-salesman-guy for a month.
I quit.
I met a great girl.
My sister came to visit and we cruised around northern NSW.
I went to Splendour. Epic.
I got a job. At a uni. Running events and stuff. So that part of my life hasn't really changed one bit from about 18mths ago. Except I get paid more.
I got a totally super sweet pad right on the river in Brisbane.
Myself and aforementioned great girl parted ways.
I met a bunch of Brisbane folks, had some Perth crew come to visit and gnerally started to dig Brisbane in a big way.
My Papa passed away. That was sad. But I went back to Perth and got naked at Downsy's place, so I like to think I made the best of a bad situation.
My folks came to visit. Their campervan is way more boss than mine.
I won two mixed netball grandfinals. So that part of my life hasn't really changed one bit from about 18mths ago. I still don't get paid though. Yet
I went back to Perth again for Christmas. The ham was nice, but I definitely wasn't upset to come back here.
I went to Woodford Folk Fest over NYE with a bunch of great school children.
I went on a date with a random whilst dressed as a gay businessman and very, very stoned.
I've managed to go and do a 9 to 5 job for nearly 6 months without cracking the shits and driving off into the sunset. Again. 

And that's that.

I promise next time will be more exciting.
