Some photographs of the new stuff in my life. 
New phone:
It’s a Nokia N73. It’s not really a new phone – my dad owned it for about a year before deciding to just throw it away. I offered to take it off his hands for him and he agreed. So I got a new phone. 
It has a 3.2 megapixel camera and it’s one of those ‘smart phones’.
It’s a lot easier to text on (the problem I had with my old phone is that it was a pain in the backside to text on!), except I keep accidentally sending texts before I’m ready…
Next up…
New hobby:
I decided about a month ago, that I wanted to knit myself a scarf for winter, since I can never find a scarf I like in the shops, which is also the right size for me (I like my scarfs LONG).
So, I bought some 7mm knitting needles, a scarf pattern and some scarf wool. And I started knitting a scarf. Since then, I’ve knitted four scarfs and I’m starting a ‘Christmas scarf’; a red scarf but it has white ends, haha.
The two scarfs I’ve knitted for myself:
The blue/green scarf is taller than I am (I’m four foot ten) and the multi-coloured scarf is quite a bit taller than that…
New beanie babies:
I LOVE Beanie Babies but, up until recently, I haven’t had the money to expand my collection. Last week, I ventured into a gift shop and spied the Beanie Babies they had to offer and couldn’t resist five of them…
My mum bought this one for me a few weeks before:
I will, at some point, be taking photos of ALL of my Beanie Babies (since I have a couple of cool ones).
New pet:
He’s called Bob. My last set of Cacti died and I’ve been pining for a new Cactus (they’re the only type of plant which stands a chance against me – I don’t have green fingers, I have black fingers. 
).
New boyfriend:
The ‘cute smiley guy from work’ is my new boyfriend. The new boyfriend does indeed have a name – Myke.
I didn’t know his name for ages, so I just knew him as the ‘cute smiley guy’ – cause I thought he was cute and everytime I saw him, he was all smiley. And obviously, he’s a guy.
This is what the ‘cute smiley guy’ (Myke) looks like:
He kinda looks more like a ‘cute sleepy guy’ in the picture…and I have my hair covering my face…and my teeth look HUGE but I still think this is a cute picture of us.
Also, on October 1st, I kind of got some new piercings and Myke was there to hold my hand (aww).
I got my anti-helix done (although they call it a ‘rook’ in Tribal Voice…which is a different piercing but nevermind…) and an orbital, designed to look like a snug piercing.
I couldn’t actually have a REAL snug piercing, so I got one to look like a snug piercing, because it’s my most favourite piercing.
The anti-helix is the most painful piercing I’ve had done so far. I couldn’t find many ‘reviews’ by people who’ve had that piercing, so had no idea what to expect in terms of pain.
All three holes appear to be healing nicely – I’ve had no ‘ouch’ pain (except for this morning (I slept on that ear at some point during the night) and when I tried to pull out the anti-helix ring in my sleep) and I’ve only had a little bit of crusting so far. They’re actually less problematic than the cartilage piercings I had done ten months ago! (Those stupid piercings STILL get sore sometimes!)
