Oh my GOD. Squeenix, you WANKER! I've been stuck in Destiny Islands (Rebirth version) for like a WEEK because I don't have the right map card. I fought heaps and heaps of heartless, and almost none of them were dropping ANY cards let alone the one I needed. I was so desperate I tried gameshark codes which weren't WORKING.

And it turned out, after googling and seeing someone complain about maxing out their map cards, my map cards were in fact maxed out. And there was no warning. The reason almost no heartless were dropping cards was that I only had space for cards when I used them up to get through doors. ALL THOSE BATTLES WERE POINTLESS. *doesn't know whether to laugh or cry*

On the bright side, I levelled up a lot! :D (And no, I still don't have the card I need but at least cards are being dropped, dammit.)

Also, got my results back. LJE, 68 (Credit); Contracts, 73 (Distinction); Japanese, 82 (High D); Japanese Linguistics, 89 (High D). So! Better than last semester, which is the most important thing.

Had an endocrinologist appointment today. Just a checkup. 40 minutes total walking, an hour waiting, 15 minutes in there. *g* But I wasn't really annoyed, I was in a fairly mellow mood today. I'm not even annoyed about Squeenix, really, just exasperated. XD

In other news, the internet can't decide on the scheduling for this season of House. One site has a double episode screening this week, another has a double screening the week of my birthday. ON my birthday, in America, but due to timezones it's the day after here. We shall see; FOX is not particularly illuminating on the topic.

Oh, and I went to Sydney on the weekend for uncle Chas's 50th birthday. I have some photos my aunt emailed but I'm unphotogenic and it's horrible so you don't get to see. :D Had a good time. Went shopping with brother in town on Saturday to buy dad's birthday present (we got him a 2-disc best of McCartney and a 2-disc best of Lennon. we thought it was a nice matched set), went to the party on Saturday night (where I was ridiculously overdressed-- THANKS MUM-- but it wasn't really an issue), and then after the party brother and I were completely loaded on caffeine from the diet coke.

Rohan (driving back to my hotel): So, want to go hang in a bar in Newtown?
Me: Yeah, okay.
Rohan: *rings parents*
Father: She has to return!
Sister: *in background* She's 19 in 3 weeks, let her have a life!
Me: Hey Ceilidh, wanna come?
Sister: ... Can't be buggered getting changed. You can come over to my place and see the doggies.
Rohan: We'll see you at the hotel, Beast (<- that's me) wants to get changed. *hangs up* You should go like that. It'd be funny when seedy old drunk men hit on you.
Me: Dude, uncomfortable shoes. *gets changed*
Us: *wait*
Parents: *take forever parking the car* So what are you doing?
Rohan: Oh, we're going to go hang in that bar on King St.
Parents: Okay. Take mum's mobile, Siobhan. And the key.
Me: ...
Rohan: Well that was boring. Let's go hang at Ceilidh's.
Us: *go hang at our sister's place with dogs, and watch music videos*
A grand time: *is had by all, including the dogs*

Until we went home, anyway, and Ebony tried to break our eardrums. :D

Was also nice to come home to an email from one of my uni friends, Dani, who has gone home to her farm in Victoria for the holiday. Later in the day, call from another uni friend (Tristan), whose email address I had gotten but LOST and he didn't have mine. So to contact me, he got out the phonebook. "Narrabundah? Okay, it was sort of... near there..." (note: it's Yarralumla) so he rang THAT number, and got my uncle. Who gave him my number. XD I just found that really funny, especially since he's a law student and was a little o.o over the fact he'd talked to my uncle (he's the ACT supreme court chief justice, so... yeah.)

Anyway, Tristan was ringing to invite me (and Mari if I wanted) to his birthday dinner thingy this week. Yay! Tristan and Dani are my closest uni friends, so hearing from them both made me happy.

On a final note, Landslide is starting to actually sound like it's meant to on the guitar. The flip side to this is that my left-hand fingertips are deformed. No, really, I'm not exaggerating.

Aaaaaaand this update ended up really long given I was totally just going to bitch about Squeenix. I think I end now. XD

PS: Christmas fics status = 2/3 through the 8th. I WILL GET THERE. (don't ask about the total wordcount, is skeery.)
