Today is Australia Day, where we celebrate the beginning of Australia, which was when the British first settled here in 1788. It's almost midnight on this day, and I thought I should do a post about it. Australia Day is where we celebrate the history of our country, and of being an Australian. We're a proud bunch, and we've achieved a lot over the past 200+ years. I'm proud to be Australian. Always have been, always will be. (Photos coming soon of the Canberra fireworks that I went to tonight.) UPDATE: Here's the photos I promised you.

Deidre's watching Borat on Foxtel. I started screaming again at the naked wrestling in the hotel room…. That's all I'll say about that.

I 'met' someone recently on Facebook that turned out tonight to have a few issues with me. Apparently I was playing 'games' with them because I'm engaged and yet chatting with them (they're female), and I changed the picture in my profile. This apparently made them believe that I was trying to pretend to be someone else. Oh, and that I had three different message conversations with her over the past week.
1) They're not even a 'friend' of mine in Facebook, and instead they're just an 'application buddy'. Eg. we use the same application, therefore share a common interest, and started talking to each other. We hadn't gotten to the point where I might want to add them as a friend.

Last week Deidre and I celebrated our 3rd year together, after having met each other mid-January 2005. It’s not just amazing, but it’s a wonderful thing that we’re still together after this long. We’re both stubborn and pig-headed, so we’ve had quite a few challenging times. But we both value communication and commitment, which has really helped. And now, 3 years later, we look back with amazement, knowing that we’ve been through some of the most difficult years while getting to know each other, and here we are!
