I have been 23 years old for a month

• Well, I am angry today, because I was supposed to have my hair cut today, but I have just found out that the salon doesn't open on Mondays, which now means that my hair is dropping out all over the house, because I have a lot of it, and, not only that, because it's so long, I'm actually a bit worried that it's going to completely cover the bathroom floor, and that everyone who goes into the bathroom will have to wade through piles of hair before they can wash their hands. I know it's a bit of an apocolyptic vision, but when you read a newspaper and it says "Girl, 23, died from being suffocated by her own hair" then you will remember how I was right. Ha!
• I feel very sorry for Mimi because she has been in Singapore doing maths stuff, and when she hasn't been doing maths stuff she has been gossiping with maths people about mathematicians, and when she hasn't been doing that, she has been living in a mathematician's house. That is some hardcore maths, and if that ever happened to me, I think that I would actually cut off my leg with a spoon so I could say to people "I'm sorry, I would love to talk about maths with you, but I've just cut my leg off with a spoon, and I need to go to hospital. Sorry about that!"
• The bushfires in Victoria are really quite bad, and my friend Miss Frizzle comes from a small town which has been threatened by fires in the past, and now every time somebody talks to her they are saying "How is Bright?" And so now she has decided to preface every conversation with "By the way, Bright has not burned down!"
• And I was so much looking forward to a haircut today!
• Living in a small flat with my family is really not a good idea.
• There is a department store in the city which always puts displays in its shop windows around Christmas time, and this time it's the story about a wombat, or a hamster, or something that wants to be part of the nativity scene, but he doesn't fit anywhere. He's too heavy to be the archangel Gabriel, and he can't be Mary, but in the end he gets to be Jesus. All together now: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
• I got to play with my little cousins, L and N, and I have decided that I am going to drive to their house in the middle of the night and kidnap them. I shall then change their names, and keep them locked in my flat so that I can play with them all the time.

Can you believe that it's nearly Christmas? So much to get excited about, so little time!
