So I managed to make it through my first week living alone without killing anyone ... except for that guy who's now buried in my back garden.
Kidding ... maybe.
I've cooked every night ... or at least eaten things that I've cooked. I also managed not to injure myself and I've had someone over for dinner which was a success. Unpacking is tedious and I've pretty much given up for now. I've sort of run out of places to put things, I need some more rolling crates to put things in and I need to learn how to use cupboards that aren't in my bedroom. Partially because there ARE no cupboards in my bedroom.
I'm really enjoying cooking too, it's almost fun. Sure it's a pain cleaning up, but it's good fun cooking and eating. I think I need a dishwasher.

So everything went as planned today and my Intarwebs are now connected, I'M BACK IN THE REAL WORLD! THANK THE LORD! And by the lord, in this instance I'm referring to Telstra. They actually managed to do something right. How fantastic is that!! They snuck up on me and suddenly I was online.
HAPPY DAYS!!!!

I know that I always say that Im going to blog and then I don't. I'm really really bad at this. I apologise now.
Anywho, today is the official moving out day, YAY! I've finished moving all my stuff except for my TV, my computer, my ironing board and my bike. Yes, I still have a bike, no, I don't ride it.
So my intarwebs aren't hooked up yet, so I'll be out of contact for a while. I'm hoping that it'll be Wednesday at the latest. If not, it could be a bit longer before I'm seen back ... anywhere. Although I can sign on at work and I'll be reachable by email.
I know no one reads this, but tata for now anyway. =O)

My gas got hooked up on Thursday, except I didn't know that you had to turn the tap on for it to work. I rang AGL again and they're all "did you turn the tap on" and I'm like "water tap?". So I turned on the gas tap and then I was all "YAY! FIRE!".
Every time I pull up to my house I get an image of what happens on the Sims when something catches on fire, the flames are leaping around and there's a little person dancing around, pissing their pants and shouting expletives in a language that doesn't exist. Thankfully though, this has not yet happened. Although when I pulled up one day there was a smoke alarm going off and I briefly shit my pants before determining it was coming from across the road.
I cooked dinner there last night and I used the microwave rice steamer my mum bought ages ago and never used (thanks mum!). It's seriously the best thing ever invented. Anyone who cooks rice in a saucepan is retarded. Microwave steamer is the way to go. I made butter chicken and I was able to not kill anyone or burn the house down.
I had some trouble lighting the pilot light and plus the thing was covered in spider webs so I was constantly scared of being eaten by spiders. Dad ended up coming over and doing it for me, YAY DAD!
Speaking of spiders, Laura and I decided that the collective noun for spiders is a disgusting. That's right, it's a disgusting of spiders.
