So, apparently last weekend my parents told Ben that they're staying in Saudi for another year. Huh. And Ben's off to Hillsong to become some youth minister or something like that. I don't know what he wants to do with his life. But he's leaving in January, so that means I'm here with the house for at least six months by myself. He'll probably sell me the place. A home-owner. At nineteen. Sheesh. Thing is, when Mom and Dad talked to me on Saturday, they didn't say a thing about whether they were coming back or no. Don't you think that should be important enough to mention? Not that I don't trust my brother or anything, I just wish they could have said. They just talked about finances and the weather and other things that we usually talk about.
I finally have my learner's license now. I only could have got it since I turned fourteen. >.< I didn't really think it was worth it, though, seeing as I was leaving the country and women can't drive in the good ol' Kingdom of S.A. And plus I was lazy. :P But I have it now, and Ben bought me a cinnamon bun in celebration. I actually ate a lot of cinnamon buns this weekend.
I also finally got some new work shoes, so I can now go to work without the ever-so-handy ventilation in my shoes. XD I actually got the same exact pair that I had before. Couldn't think of a good reason to change them. And some impractical strappy two-inch monstrosities that I'll never be able to walk in. Heh. I just had the incredible urge to buy impractical shoes. I blame America's Next Top Model. Ben just shook his head when I showed up in the bookstore with two boxes of shoes instead of one, especially once I did the half-guilty smile and said: 'They were on sale.' But I mean, $15 for a pair of nice shoes. How can you resist?
I want to make shoe-related icons now.
I went over to Caro's around suppertime on Saturday. We were supposedly going to go to swing dancing, but we felt lazy, and couldn't get a ride there. So we decided to finish watching 'Army of Darkness,' which is a really old B-rated horror-ish movie, with an undead army done in shaky claymation and a fountain of blood. After that was over, they played this movie called 'Top of the Food Chain.' Interesting, ne? We thought we'd see if it was any good, and if not, we'd watch the Labyrinth again.
It was bloody amazing! I don't know how to describe it in ways that won't make it sound completely horrible, but they mixed it all together to make a completely brilliant movie. With wonderful lines like: 'that lumpy bumpy hilly part of town outside of town.' And man-eating aliens, incest, polygamy, fish, bondage, homosexuality and Jesus saving the world through the wonders of cool fusion, which somehow involved shoving a metal crucifix into a sattelite box. It was made in Canada. Somehow, that didn't really surprise me. XD
Stayed in bed until noon today. :P Darn that daylight savings.
Then Ben and I went to go see Ice Age 2 today, with our future room-mate named Chris and his fiancee named Brenda. Good movie, but there are far to many CG movies with cute animals coming out. It's starting to get kind of tiring. I do kind of want to see Over the Hedge, though. Maybe when it comes out on video.
Oh, and I randomly discovered a while ago that Thalie has white feet. o.x I don't know if it's a temporary thing or what. It's better than her randomly being gold with angel wings or something. ^_~

I haven't been on the computer for a while (read: a few days), because Dad's been reformating it. Now it's all sparkly and not full of crap and spyware. Still, it took a couple days to get everything organized. Especially because we've been doing other things that take all day.
I went shopping at Ikea yesterday and bought myself a set of drawers to replace my large and ugly drawers I had before. Now I have *gasp* floor-space in my closet. Amazing. I also have a place to put my hats. Joy! They were kind of getting everywhere, especially because I keep getting more of them. :P
I like Ikea. They have such spiffy, organized dodads that make life a lot easier. I could go back and spend more money there if it wasn't halfway across the damn city. And if I wasn't feeling so guilty about spending so much money in less than a week. (I bought myself a digital camera on boxing day. It is awesome and you can take pictures of yourself in it, and then delete them when you see how bad you actually look).
So, I was cleaning out and organizing my room in order to put my new stuff in there. It also now looks less like a disaster area, I could actually use my desk had I the inclination to do so. Then today I got to work and my supervisor kindly informed me that none of the stock had arrived and that I was going to clean instead of baking.
I cleaned,
For six hours.
I hate cleaning.
Looks like I have to get off. Dad's fiddling around with the computer, because we have to load everything back on it again. It pisses the hell out of me when he starts clicking at something over my shoulder when I'm trying to do something else.
