Bearded dragon :)
I've attached a photo of my beautiful baby if you wanna see him ;D
:-* :-*

Also, I've been making homemade bubble tea. Can't figure out how to make it taste like store-bought but I'm definitely enjoying it.

strawberry black tea > blueberry green tea

Not sure where to rank my "bubble hot chocolate". I love it and hate it at the same time. ;D

Yeah, I have specially flavoured blueberry green tea and I mix in the juice of frozen blueberries that have been mashed and put through a sieve (and a little strawberry syrup) to make my tea!

I had my bottom wisdom teeth removed today (after having the top ones removed a few weeks ago) in the dentist's chair. After having put it off for a few years I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and relatively painless it was! I was previously absolutely terrified of the thought of getting any teeth pulled out (especially with me awake) but I'm glad I chose to get them out when awake. Cheaper, no anaesthetic and genuinely wasn't a bad experience!

Tl;dr - my wisdom teeth removal was a massive anticlimax (thankfully)

So I was going to make myself some tofu for dinner tonight (I even brought my frypan down to melbourne - turns out there's some where I'm staying and I didn't need to) so I went to the shops to buy some tofu & rice etc. and the first shop I went to only had soft tofu & didn't have the sauce I wanted so then I went to a different shop and they had firm tofu and 20 other sauces but still not the one I wanted :(

So then I gave up on that and figured I'd have pizza instead so I bought a pizza base and toppings and that was all fine until I got back here and realised there's no ovens :( I saw that there was stoves and just assumed that there'd be ovens too. So for dinner tonight I had pizza that I cooked in a microwave but it actually kinda worked.

Listening to a whole bunch of pop songs from the 2010s before the decade ends
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

Saw Frozen 2 yesterday... I will now shamelessly say that I am a Frozen fan...
Walking into the cinema I didn't think I would enjoy it. Frozen 1 was alright, I wasn't a huge fan. But OMG (!!!!) I thought Frozen 2 was amazing!
I have never related to a character as much as I related to Olaf.

Spoiler
He was legit having an existential crisis the whole movie, questioning his own existence... What a mood

But yeah, the soundtrack was amazing and I particularly love "All Is Found" (the lullaby). The great thing about the soundtrack is that if you listen to it, most of the songs don't sound like Disney songs and if you haven't seen the movie you wouldn't even guess they were from Frozen...

Anywho, 10/10 would recommend :)

Its my birthday in a week. I can tell I'm getting old because I'm no longer excited for my birthday. More like dreading it because it means I'm getting old and my childhood is almost over.

But at the same time, I still love birthdays.

It's my birthday on Monday, and I feel the exact same thing, (unfortunately...). Does that mean your birthday is on December 28th? How do you find having your birthday so close to Christmas? My friends are always busy if I want to do something so I generally put my party off until January if I'm going to have one.

Its my birthday in a week. I can tell I'm getting old because I'm no longer excited for my birthday. More like dreading it because it means I'm getting old and my childhood is almost over.

When I was in Year 7 (I think) I literally did not remember it was my birthday.  That was more than half a lifetime ago, and my family have never let me forget it...

That said, speaking from my incredibly advanced age, I observe that people from just about every age group feel like they're getting old.  In my experience, increasing age comes with new responsibilities, but also with new privileges.  And "Age is just a number: You are as old as you feel" isn't quite true, but has a lot of truth to it.  Not trying to suggest that your feelings are invalid, but you have a lot of life ahead of you and I hope it is wonderful.
