It's all a little bit quiet

I am just a little bit lame.

I was coming down with a cold/throat thing during the week and combining that with yelling over the music at the Christmas party, I have now completely lost my voice and feel pretty much like shit.

So, the big plans for the last few days kind of fell by the wayside.

Friday night with old flatmate was canned. Still went to the Christmas Carols tonight, which were beautiful, but came straight home afterwards to be tucked up in the warm. It is now bloody cold here.

NB had his Christmas party last night. He called me and left a voicemail. However, I have a new phone and haven't set up the voicemail yet. In order for me to receive said voicemail, I had to record my name and greeting. Keeping in mind, I have no voice. So, I strained like you wouldn't believe and it eventually came out as:

[whisper] you have reached the voicemail of nerdgirl.
Barking cough x 2
Cackle like an old age pensioner who spends her days sucking on Winnie Blues down at the pokies.

"You have recorded your greeting. Press star to confirm"

Why the hell not. It's not gonna get better than that.

Any voicemails I received today all started with the caller laughing and then saying "You have to change that! It's terrible!".

Nah.
