Home Alone

[source]

I'm home alone. Not in the fun "I'll set up awesome and ingenious traps for potential burglars using toys and household items" way, but in a "holy crap what was that noise?!?!" way. 

My parents have escaped to take my great-uncle (great-uncle? grand-uncle? uncle-once-removed?) to visit my aunt (just a normal aunt) in far-off Dubbo. And they won't be back till Thursday. Thursday!


Now, had this happened a few years ago it would be a case of "Yeeeeeeeahhh! PARTAAAAAAY!" and a sleepover with several of my friends. But since then, as you can probably tell from the fact that I write a blog now, my life has deteriorated into a tiny pinprick of social sunlight. I can count my good friends on one hand using only fingers and no thumbs. And that's counting my boyfriend (hi Pete!). But I've made up for my lack of quantity with exceedingly high standards of quality :)

Well. That sufficiently distracted me from all the things that go bump in the night. Thanks, Blog! I'll be sure to do a follow-up post on the rest of the people in my life (there are more. I'm related to most of them).


Good night, and keep your fingers crossed for me so the axe murderers don't decide to stop in and say hi.
