a wee little update

Hello hello to all of my readers. I'm pretty sure that there are only about 5 of you that actually keep up with this and I'm writing just for you! There have been some new developments in my life like the fact that I moved, I met a celebrity, got a real makeup job, and went to a costume party!

So first thing. I moved! I believe that I mentioned that four American kids including Scott, Nicole's brother, moved here in February. Well Tim and Scott weren't really feeling like Wellington was there place right now so they went on home a couple of weeks ago and are doing great. But that left a room available in the kid's house...one of the room's has been rented by a cute local girl called Natalie. It kinda worked out for everyone since Nicole and Manuel actually get their house back, Scott didn't have to pay rent on two hemispheres and I don't have a ridiculous hill to climb up...the view just doesn't justify being that far away from everything as far as I'm concerned. Now I live right off of a frequently used road which means more buses come by and the bus stop is less than a block away. Golden!! I'll post pictures of my room soon and of Jackie, Shawn and Natalie.

Secondly. I met celebrity Jemaine Clement (the guy with the glasses) of the Flight of the Concords! This may or may not actually mean anything to you. But it was really cool. Flight of the Concords is a New Zealand comedic folk singing duo that had/have (waiting on season 3) a show on HBO. So I met him and had an actual conversation with him...he's pretty cool. We talked about the Double Rainbow video that has become a youtube sensation and sparked several remixes. So yeah. Also, I may have been the closest that I ever have been to Brad Pitt. He was rumored to be seen in Miramar which is only just down the road. Still hasn't been confirmed if he was or not but it made the newspapers.

A couple of weeks ago, I met a lady named Claire and she needed her makeup done for a photoshoot for her music so we worked together on that and now we've become buddies! I'm also working on a online portfolio so when that is ready to launch I'll be sure to post the link! I really want to pursue a freelance career and become more than a sales person at a makeup counter!

The costume party was 'G' themed so you had to go as something starting with the letter G. I went as Goldilocks and Wendy made me an entire dress in a day! It was incredible!!! I will post pictures soon!

I think that's about all the blogging I can do tonight. Have a touch of the flu and I'm not feeling the best but I haven't updated in a while!
