Sorry if that ruined your friend page there btw, just feeling the need to be self-critical. Don't pity me, I don't need it. Anyway, how bloody awesome were the Ashes?!

I think I only have about two people on my flist who follow cricket and if you're not Aussie or English you probably don't know or care what the Ashes are. All you should know is that it's the biggest series in test match cricket and Australia won 5-0, something that has only been done once before and that was 86 years ago. The Aussies slaughtered the Poms and it was sweet, sweet revenge for last year when they snatched the Ashes away from us 2-1 (the other 2 games were drawn). Good on ya Ricky Ponting, that'll shut the critics up for a while.

What made the final win so much more memorable was that 2 of the best bowlers EVER and one of our best ever opening batsmen all retired from test match cricket. I don't think I've ever seen a more emotional series. It was beautiful.

The Aussie Celebration

My reason for not posting in so long is that I got a few new games that I've become addicted to, The Sims 2 and all its expansion packs and Age of Empires 3 and its expansion, Warchiefs. Very addictive indeed. I've also been housesitting a lot. Even housesat Christmas night. Hope you all had a good one btw. And a fantastic New Year.

A few piccies to share:

When I was looking after my aunt's place, a special visitor dropped in

Can you spot something that maybe shouldn't be sleeping atop a pile of clothes?

My new computer monitor, thanks Santa!

Music I'm into at the mo (not actually gonna post any, I don't think anyone takes it, but ask if you're interested or want any songs): Arctic Monkeys, Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin, Snow Patrol and Kasabian.

Love

Kylie

Lol, this is I think the first time I've actually seen you post SO MUCH about cricket :P But yeah being an Aussie cricket fan you'd be crazy not to I guess :P It is pretty awesome.. only I'm dead jealous so I'm not gonna say anything more :P Glenn McGrath's one of my fave players and my fave Aussie player though, gonna miss him loads once he's done for good [d'you know I even have a poster of him in my bedroom?!]:( Shane Warne too.. its gonna be REALLY weird not to see all these people play anymore. I mean, I've grown up watching them so suddenly not to see them, or see them commentating or something, will take some time to get used to.

Nice pics :) Is that a wireless mouse [and keyboard]???? :O I totally want a PC like that!!!

Ooh, did I say? My sister is coming to Sydney at the end of this month or next month for her training! The rest of us were gonna come too but its too close to my final exams and she doesn't want us to come anyway : \

And also, could you PLEASE get me Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol? Thanks :)

I'm really going to miss McGrath. I mean, I can't deny Warne was probably the best ever spin bowler but I couldn't like him personally, you know. McGrath was..human. And I admired his bowling so much, he'll def be the player I miss the most.

Aye, wireless mouse and keyboard but I got those for my birthday. My xmas pressie was just the monitor. Pretty, hey?

ARGH convince your sister to fly to the Gold Coast! And aww you should punch her and just come anyway!

I haven't got that particular album yet, but as soon as I get it I'll upload that song for you!

Really pretty :O And I still have my exams.. but I'll still punch her :P You know all those times you tell me to kick and punch her, I actually do! And she can't do it back because its from you lol!
