good news, bad news.

I'll start with the bad news.

James and Gavin didn't return with James's car. It needed a new transmission, which obviously couldn't be afforded, so it took a trip to the car wrecker. The next day, Seb's car got stolen from outside the hostel. Fortunately, 2 days later he did get it back, but they had got in an accident with it, the steering is all messed up, and his Nintendo DS is gone as well. He left a few days ago with Frankie, and his friend Kon, to go to Byron Bay.

Gavin, Amy, and Natalie left for Noosa to try to find work, but are having trouble. Clint went up to Coolum to visit a friend and when he gets back he is giving me a ride to Surfers.

Amy #2, Lucy, Camilla, JoJo, James and myself are still here in Brisbane. They are trying to find jobs, I am relaxing.

The good news....

Back in June, I filed a tax return. When I filled it out, I made a mistake, and to make a long story short, the ordeal ended with me having a sore hand, and the locker in my room having a dent. I was told there was nothing I could do, and that my return was going to be $47.19. Afterwards, I decided to file another one with a professional, even though filing 2 would make them both void. I had to take the chance. I'd rather take the chance and end up with nothing rather than having $47.19 and never knowing.

Anyway, I hadn't heard anything for months and figured I was never going to get my money, then I got an email. An email stating that maybe I was getting my money after all. Well, to make another long story short, today, the money has finally arrived in my account. How Much? I'll tell you how much, Twenty-Three Hundred FREAKIN BUCKS! So, it's safe to say I'll be going out with my friend bourbon tonight.

If that doesn't make me smile, nothing will.

Anyway. A few more nights here in BrisVegas. Nic, my kiwi mate from Perth arrives here tomorrow, so we will have at least one big night before I head to Surfers. Other than that, I'll catch ya on the flipside.
