Forever and Always

I still think All Time Low are GODS. My heart is beating a little faster.

A lot faster.

Joh Bailey, Do My Hair Please

2009-04-01T19:29:00.002+11:00

Bit of homework today. Bit of sitting on babies. Now watching makeovers on The Biggest Loser, most worthwhile episode of the season in my opinion.

No real thoughts on the meaning of life today unfortunately. I'd like a nice hairdo though.

Hamburgers

2009-03-31T20:07:00.001+11:00

Mmmm, massive food baby now. Deliciousness.

Watching "Bondi Rescue" for general awesomeness.

She Has Returned

2009-03-31T19:05:00.002+11:00

Can I be a prodigal daughter?? Of the blogging variety??

You'll find I do this often - stray from the blog, and then come back, and stray again, and I find it hard to dedicate myself after the initial separation but I really will try. Soooo, it's been three months. Mini break. And much has changed, but snoozefest. I can't be bothered explaining it all. You know if you know.

Um ... had foccaccias with Maddy at uni today, which was quite enjoyable. I love a good Den foccaccia.

Meanwhile, that was several hours ago and it is past 7 which to me reads dinner time and the mother only just got home. Speaking of the mother, LOVING her brilliant plan to switch off our internet overnight to "give the cables a rest" or some shit, meaning that when we turn it back on it doesn't work anymore. Brilliant. So I'm on some unsecured wireless network. Suckers.

I have masses of readings and assignments and stresses which are killing me atm. But, annoying to discuss because they remind me.

Argh, more tomorrow maybe?? Or later tonight if I'm feeling enthusiastic.

It's Been Two Months

2008-12-12T16:08:00.002+11:00

I stopped myself from updating because I wanted to finish uni without distractions.

And then I finished and I felt like I needed some time off.

And then I went away to New York.

And now I'm back and it's two months later and I feel extraordinarily slack and so here I am, ready to rock your world.

Big events of the last week (because I can't remember / be bothered to go through everything that has transpired in life and the world since early October):

Came home from overseas, saw HSM3 twice (brilliant), saw Twilight yesterday (amazing!!), and then had Josh's birthday drinks, which was super fun. And I lost my voice two days ago and still can barely speak so I'm thinking of opening up some sort of hotline, and supplementing my income with $4.50 a minute. Good idea, eh??

Act Like Them

2008-10-08T17:57:00.003+11:00

Eyes have been swollen and on fire for about three weeks. At the beginning, my mum didn't give a crap. It's still going on now to the extent where at times they're so inflamed I can't see. So she's going to write me a perscription tomorrow for some eye steroids, whatever the hell they are. And if they don't work, off to the specialist I go. Hoorah.

But I think I may enjoy being on steroids. Little thrill.

On another note, 1 out of 4 final essays down. Joy. Thrill. Am going to start another one now, I think.

That's all.

Can't Get Off This Ride

2008-10-05T18:06:00.002+11:00

Is working day shift on floor the most draining thing ever?? Is losing an hour to daylight savings really annoying?? Is it a requirement to live in Camberwell to prove yourself old and senile??

Methinks yes to all of the above.

Soooo sleepy.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

2008-10-04T18:49:00.002+10:00

Hey sexy kittens, just failing at concentration. How many more things can I distract myself with?? Je ne sais pas.

My mouth has that gross post-nap taste. I think I might go on the bike for a bit. Revitalise myself.

I Think It's Raining

2008-10-03T12:45:00.003+10:00

Yesterday was the Cohen's birthday, so we headed to Cafe Blac for breakfasting, which was quite chill. Then I caught the train to Cambers to check out the new JB at The Well - a bit disappointed, the layout is totally generic, much like all the other stores, and it wasn't that big, either. Oh well. And inside The Well was too spacious and clinical, but I suppose that will change once all the stores open.

Um, then work, which was crap, as we were totally understaffed and I was knackered by the end. Then headed off to Kon's birthday drinks, but not before slipping on Josh's bloody mopped floor and getting my hand smashed by a closing door in the staffroom. I swore so loudly that they must have heard in Cinema 1.

Yeah, so drinks etc, then home, then chilled this morning, now time for massive work on uni assignments (or death will be imminent!!), and then babysitting tonight.

Chillage.

I Want To Try This

2008-10-01T13:09:00.000+10:00

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT!

Desperado to try this. If it works, I'm going to gain 50 bazillion kilos.

Also, welcome to October.

Can't See Straight Anymore

2008-09-30T23:04:00.003+10:00

Haven't updated for a few days, thought I should round off September with a bang. I've been updating galore this month, so no complaints there.

Went to see "The House Bunny" = hilariousness and I'll defs see it again. Loved it!!!! And saw "Wild Child" ... um ... not good. Yeah, won't watch that again.

Need to start doing assignments as due dates are all impending and in less than a month I'll be finished uni for the year = fabulousness!! Just four majors before then and a test - care?? Non, monsieur.

Becky's birthday in two days, and Kon's smashing drinks that night too, which should be awesome. I haven't done something trashy for a while, so I think it's impending.

Cheers, ducklings!!

Now It's An Ad Break

2008-09-26T18:43:00.003+10:00

Oh, and I just remembered - I saw "Hot Fuzz" for the first time last night. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!! Recommended. Highly.

Yetis Will Solve Everything

2008-09-26T18:27:00.004+10:00

Took Cammens to see "The Mummy 3" yesterday. As a movie functioning on its own, I've seen worse. As part of the franchise, it sucked major balls. The other Mummy movies are so good!! This was an embarrassment. It was like the script writers sat down and had conversations very much along these lines:

"Hey, let's make the mummy have cool superpowers that can do absolutely everything. How can we justify that??"
"Um ... let's just include one line of dialogue somewhere that randomly mentions that he learnt magic from weird priests when he was alive."
"Great idea!!"

...

"Uh oh, we've locked our main characters into a situation where the possibility of them realistically escaping is zero. How should we get them out of it??"
"Um ... let's make some yetis come and save them!!"
"You're full of amazing ideas."

...

"Jonathan was really funny in the first two movies. Let's give him more funny things to say."
"Good idea. Wait, he doesn't really know that much about mummies, his dialogue wouldn't really propel the script that much."
"That's okay. Let's just give him 50 or so one-liners that he speaks to himself and no other characters hear."

...

"This plane scene isn't funny enough. How should we overcome it??"
"Hmmm, let's stick an extremely fake-looking yak in the plane. That's HILARIOUS!!"

...

"Let's have the two young 20-somethings fall in love. Is that plausible??"
"Sure. We'll just have everyone give them loaded looks as though their chemistry isn't non-existant, and then they can have a conversation about how much they love one another after having been in each other's company for half an hour. It'll be great, don't even worry about it."

Um, yeah. So bad.

And I found out (the hard way) that all the drugs I was taking for the sickness were sedatives. Joy.

And ... um ... just have to focus on watching "Neighbours" right now.

Scottish Accent For a Successful Bet Today

2008-09-24T23:10:00.002+10:00

Tripped out mcmassivo on pills this arvo - took high dosages of anti-headache and anti-mcsneezathon in too close proximity. Probably the closest to an LSD high that I'll ever experience.

Then crashed.

Just took some more, so I will not be driving or operating heavy machinery. Off to bed, methinks. Cheers, loves.

White Noise

2008-09-23T16:27:00.001+10:00

After a feverish night of crack dreams, today I drank some liquid panadol, dosed some anti-allergens, and then had a lozenge. Now it's off to work. Joy.

Cloudy, Feverish

2008-09-22T17:13:00.002+10:00

Well, now I no longer want to claw my eyeballs out. But now every time I cough, it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. And my forehead is on fire. Shit. Get better now.

Maybe You Should Take Me In

2008-09-22T09:16:00.003+10:00

Just skipping uni again, I couldn't see any point in attending when I haven't read the texts. Just as I see no point in them assigning an anthology as our reading requirement when the play isn't even in there. Oh well, just hope I make attendance.

My eyes have been puffy for days and my throat is constricted, but we can't figure out what I'm allergic to. So it's pretty crapola.

Haven't worked since 5:30 Friday night and it's weirding me out.

Might do some homework now to alleviate my truancy guilt.

Tea Party This Afternoon

2008-09-21T12:23:00.003+10:00

Who would have thought it was possible to fail at making fairy bread??

But I dare to be different.

Plaster Of Paris

2008-09-20T17:30:00.002+10:00

Just got back from having Nando's with Lisa. And am now watching "The Nanny". No desire to do any homework or shiz. Probs will watch "Robin Hood" with Bissies tonight, which will be chill. Jonas Armstrong and Harry Lloyd are the sex.

Massive Day in CB Today

2008-09-18T19:17:00.003+10:00

Whoo, done 100 posts. Mad skills. This is now my 101st ... would that be pronounced one-hundredth and first?? Perhaps.

Got heaps of shifts next roster - am working this coming Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday ... and that's because I have Mondays permanently signed off. Craziness, although I do need the cashola.

Chinese for dins. Pretty excited.

Liz, yes, I am fair awesome and inspirational. And I apologise for being so skanky, and leaving you with all the seconds. I'll try to have a crack dream tonight, and I'll dedicate it to you.

Oh, and "Neighbours" was chill tonight.

Yo, Chickadees

2008-09-18T19:17:00.002+10:00

"Wall-E" was the funniest thing ever. Bless the staff meeting, I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

And saw "The Dark Knight" for the first time today. So lousy it took me this long. Only one sesh a day now. But I went. And it was ace. Thumbs up.

Never The Way I Planned

2008-09-17T18:01:00.002+10:00

Yo chickens, who's bored?? I know I am. But my hair looks amazing right now, so all is still pretty chill.

And now Liz has a blog - HELLO LIZ!!!!

Babysat Ella, Felix, and Charlie today. For those not in the know, Ella's 3, Felix is 4, and Charlie is almost 7 months. Crazytown, and absolutely tiring, as Charlie refused to have a nap. And going to the Riv staff meeting tonight.

Um ... and fro yo Thursday tomorrow - soooo suave!!

Pretty much just enjoying the few weeks off before assignments start to be due again.

Stay classy, trashbags.

Do I Have Your Attention??

2008-09-15T21:29:00.003+10:00

Hey sexy chickens!!

Essay in, so chill. Presently watching and enjoying "90210".

Oh, and saw "In Bruges" last night ... um ... randomness?! I dunno ... it was okay.

That's all, folks!!

Get Your Fives Out

2008-09-14T08:21:00.004+10:00

Had a few days off to cope with the stress of life. On Wednesday night I had a crack dream where pieces of plastic kept pouring out of my mouth, and I was helping Hannah Claire bury slices of tomato underground. When I woke up I could still feel the plastic in my throat, so was feeling quite illage.

Placement on Thursday, straight to do EOS after work, then back to placement on Friday morning. Pete's surprise birthday shindig on Friday night, which was chillage, and left me stumbling around my room drunk at 4am. Chris and I weren't "cut" by D'Andre, though, which is always a positive.

Yesterday was attempts at l'essay all day, with little progress, and vending at night. And now it's Sunday and I have to finish this bloody assignment as it's due tomorrow. And I will. Fuck. Starting now ...

Three For $10

2008-09-09T17:38:00.002+10:00

Just wearing about five bazillion bracelets, can barely reach the keyboard. But they're all new so I'm enjoying the experience. So much assignment work to get on with, this is what happens when you put things off for too long!! And must do some lesson plans for tomorrow. Craptacular.

Oh, and Hornets are on the top of the ladder. Pwn.

Pods With Dove Mint

2008-09-08T17:30:00.002+10:00

I'm presently mid-massive-binge. Chocolate is the drug of choice. Have netters in two hours, and we're top of the ladder. Whooooo - hoping for a win!! And hoping to burn off the crap I can't stop eating right now.

Second day of placement down, too. Tomorrow off, but soooo much shit to do. Have I mentioned this already?? Probs. And then I'm helping take a class on Wednesday. Fo shiz craziness. Espec as I'm so immature.

PPP

2008-09-07T11:39:00.002+10:00

My knee is super itchy. Hope I haven't been attacked by nature again. How many times have I had an overblown reaction to unfriendly bugs and their bites?? Sick.

In other news, me on bar at work = fail, in case you haven't already heard. And I have done absolutely no work this weekend so I am destined to fail at life when I get back to uni. How annoyment.

Turnip-Head

2008-09-06T15:36:00.001+10:00

Dance party on the roof-top bar last night, why didn't you stop by?? It was a killer disco. With glitter and everything.

Just watching "Howl's Moving Castle" again. Chill. Third time this week.

Blah Blah Boring

2008-09-05T16:46:00.003+10:00

I feel dead shit tired. One day of placement down. Not too draining, but I'm so not used to exerting myself. It's quite sad. I have to go to work now, I think I might go early so I can nip into JB Hi-Fi. Again. Gosh, so sad. Or maybe I won't.

Or maybe I will ...

Fro Yo Thursday

2008-09-04T14:25:00.004+10:00

I know it was a few days ago, but I forgot, and then I just remembered:

Tuesday's Quote of the Evening on Floor: "Haha ... you were inconvenienced ..."

Oh, classique.

And today's Quote of the Day in the car with Bec: "That cloud looks a bit phallic"

I should probs do some hw, but it's hard to feel motivated when you've gotten an extension. Also, placement starts tomorrow. I should probably start adopting my mature, responsible persona now, so it feels comfortable and realistic by morning. Or not. Unlikely, anyway.

Had some sweet fro yo today. Maddy will agree, even if Alex doesn't.

Lime

2008-09-03T15:31:00.001+10:00

I just ate the most amazing biscuit. And now I feel really sleepy. I've gotten so lazy in my old age.

Stay classy, lovers.

Love Bipolar

2008-09-03T08:42:00.001+10:00

I just found $60 in my jeans pocket. So I am officially richesse. Justin's drinks last night and now babysitting today, although I feel like my hair is smokey. I'll wash it tonight, methinks.

I Think I'm Obsessed

2008-09-02T09:49:00.002+10:00

And just because I thought of it and felt really angry again, I thought I would share - I hope frickin Nicola from "Neighbours" dies of her needle-stick injury. I mean, yarr, tres sad, but fo shiz - you're a dickhead. Please leave. Now Marco's gone, you're filling the void. And then Mickey and Bridget to die, too, please.

The Sky Is Foul Grey

2008-09-02T09:30:00.002+10:00

Look how excitical I'm getting!! Crazytown. Heading off to the Chad with Manda in maybs half an hour or so ... again. And then le uni and then le workplace and then le fun. Oh life. I've messaged my Wednesday babysitting "clients", and they have yet to reply, so maybs no rendez-vous this week - bad cash-wise, good chillax-wise.

I still haven't watched my recording of Sunday night's "Dexter". Must get onto that.

"Neighbours" Starts in 5 Minutes

2008-09-01T18:24:00.004+10:00

So, I just looked at some of the posts I wrote earlier this year, to try and gauge what sort of perception my stalkers are getting of me and my life.

Um, I'm boring as shit.

What's wrong with you people?? Even I was dozing off, and I was reading about my own life.

Snoozefest.

"Neighbours" Starts in 10 Minutes

2008-09-01T18:14:00.003+10:00

New leaf successfully turned?? Who knows, I'm far too space-cadet to commit. Meanwhile, like five people have admitted to stalking this blog in the past three days. I'm a bit weirded. And loved. Meh.

I've watched this movie twice this week already, and I could fo shiz go for another. $12.98 at JB Hi-Fi right now if you want to enjoy some classique-ness.

Oh, and today I bought two pairs of new shoes. It's like wearing sex on my feet. They were both 70% off. Love.

I Have "Maneater" Stuck in my Head

2008-09-01T06:29:00.004+10:00

I was going to try and fit another post into August, but I had shiz to do and then I fell asleep. And now I'm waiting for the heater to warm up my room sufficiently so that I can dress myself for what promises to be a super-fun day at uni. Bleh.

Sunday Quote of the Day (/ Night) in CB:
"Aaaaaaah, Liz, whatever it does is all over my hands!!"
"... If I'd heard that out of context ..."

The only fun thing about today = netters tonight. And I'm too tired to bother right now. I'm so apathetic towards life, it's quite saddening.

Prod Prod

2008-08-30T11:19:00.001+10:00

Haha, it's like 45 minutes later. Still haven't started my frickin essay. But prod prod. Damnit, this is how I get distracted and fail my course.

But I forgot to mention - 80% confirmed to be going to New York at the end of the year. So I'm pretty excited.

A Very Long Engagement

2008-08-30T10:18:00.002+10:00

How awkward. Every time I thought of updating this, I was like "yeah, no worries, it hasn't been that long since I've written in it". Um, yeah, it has. More than a month. How does time move so quickly??

Okay, so, what have I been doing?? Um, mainly uni. Assignments and shiz. Got another that I'm supposed to be doing this second, but it's too hard and I don't know what to do. But that's why I've put it off this long, and absolutely HAVE to do it now.

Um, and going out. Liz's birthday a few nights ago which was pretty suave. And Rivolow a few weeks ago, and I'm sure everyone knows how that turned out. I'm such a trashbag.

I love how if you look at how dedicated I have been to this blog, the first few months are absolutely exploding with posts. And now August has one. I am a loser. But if people prod me, then I do make the effort. So prod me.

PS, Lisa is hotttttt. And a bit of a stalker.

Love!!

This Week

2008-07-27T19:01:00.003+10:00

Life. So. On Thursday night I went to see "Wicked". It was mad. Maybe even the best show I've ever seen (and considering my obsession with theatre, I've seen many a many). Actually, make that the best musical I've ever seen. Can "I Am My Own Wife" ever be surpassed?? I don't know.

And today I went out with Bissies to Bridge Rd and bought some mad boots. Electric blue stilletos. They're mad hot. And then I took her to see "Mamma Mia", which was just as good the second time around. Now I feel sick.

Uni tomorrow, which is an arse, and then netters. And that's all for now!! Cheers.

You're a Cop-out

2008-07-16T12:32:00.005+10:00

So, I haven't felt bothered the last few weeks. Just been chilling. Saw "Get Smart" and "Hancock" and "Narnia" ... don't think I've mentioned those. Yeah, they were all pretty good. Thoroughly enjoyed Prince Caspian.

Made a new beary best friend in Butterscotch, courtesy of Aunties Liz and Erin.

Been slutting around the workplace as per usual.

Fuuuuuuck, just got a call from work. How typical is that?! After all my desperate attempts to avoid working tonight. I'm too easily persuaded. Fucking hell. "Dark Knight" release. Yay. 6 out of 7 days. I hate life. Now I'm depressed.

Um, what else??

Fuck, I don't care. Not in the mood now. I'm going to go op shopping now, cheer myself up hopefully.

I Still Blog, Simon

2008-07-14T17:52:00.003+10:00

Always my faves.

La La

2008-06-25T21:52:00.005+10:00

Haven't been arsed to update. Soz etc.

Been struggling with various injuries all week, (re the hand pain and unable to hold objects) and am now covered in bruises after the netters final on Monday night. Grand trophies = swell.

Been chillaxing and working heaps, had babysitting today, and bought a mermaid dress which I am wearing now while watching "Full House" in my room.

Alas, Perhaps

2008-06-18T19:08:00.002+10:00

Netball semis = victorious, so grands next Monday. Huzzah. Finally saw "Indiana Jones" today with much fanfare and drama associated (cheers Liz), and saw my handbag in a designer store for over $500, which shocked me. I love it this much more now.

Just watched "Neighbours", too. What a day.

Just Recently

2008-06-16T17:20:00.002+10:00

Han and I went to the sale at Hawthorn Town Hall and then bought loads of junk and had a picnic on my floor yesterday. And I believe there will be a repeat episode tomorrow. Working heaps, today I went out and bought myself some new boots. Gosh I spend too much money. But still loving life and the lack of uni.

Meow, meow, meow.

Bah-Boom

2008-06-13T11:39:00.003+10:00

They've redone the "Neighbours" website, and it's brills. Ch-ch-check it out.

And OMG, started watching (finally) my Season 2 DVDs of "Robin Hood" with Bissies. It's happened again. My heart is a-fluttering.

Jonas Armstrong. Fuck yes. FUCK YES!! Fuck?? Yes.

Too far?? I don't think so. I would.

Yo Wasabi

2008-06-12T15:16:00.004+10:00

It's been a week of mainly chilling, so I don't really have an excuse for not updating you all on the various occurences of my existence.

Yesterday, Hannkins and I went to Soda Rock and ROCKED OUT!!!! Fuck, that was awesome. I'm already making return journies in my mind. And bought a book and new clothes, too. Spendarama. Then went to see "Sex and the City" with Manda and Bissies, which was greash, as my shift was called off. Love how they tell me I don't need to work, so I rock up and see a movie anyway. Can't keep me out of there.

And this arvo = haircuts. Thank GOD, as I haven't had it done since Jan, and that chick was an incompetent psycho. Am back to my original hairdresser. How many times will I make this mistake?!!

Love you all like cake.

Trash or Treasure

2008-06-10T10:06:00.003+10:00

So, last night I was going through an abandoned drawer in the study, and discovered that it was a treasure trove!! I am now the proud owner of:

1 pink shoelace

1 brand new packet of post-it notes

1 small pack of Lincraft ribbon roses

1 necklace chain

1 "Where's Wally?" badge

Loving it, loving it. Meanwhile, Squishie's home sick, and she's using the time to work on school stuff. She's in year 2. I'm worried ...

I Was Unsure

2008-06-09T18:57:00.002+10:00

But it seems rightish.

Meanwhile, I'm watching "Neighbours". Friggin' court case drams. Boring!! And kill off Mickey and Marco please.

Too Right

2008-06-07T16:28:00.001+10:00

What the Beach Test Says About You

You like people, but you're careful about who you get close to. Friendship is important to you... so important that you aren't just friends with anyone.

You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over.

You are deeply passionate about several things in your life. You're not passionate about much... and the few passions you have are truly obsessions.

Your sense of humor is intellectual and obscure. Only really well educated people get your jokes.

The Beach Test

Except I don't start over.

So I Know I've Been Slack

2008-06-06T10:32:00.002+10:00

But just a quick update on the way things have been rolling recently.

Manda's 21st on Saturday night was funmcfun, but ensured work on Sunday was a bit of a drag nauseous-wise. Monday and Tuesday were blah. All assignments and exams now over and relaxation underway. I'm drinking a lot of pineapple juice. Babysitting on Wednesday. Bissies' 17th birthday yesterday, and the "Sex and the City" launch at work at night, which was MASSIVE!! Finished about 45 minutes late.

And now here I am, Friday morning. Feeling like I'm getting a chest cough, which is brills. I love falling ill just when I've made it all the way through the hard times to arrive at holidays.

Etcetera

2008-06-02T18:58:00.007+10:00

If I talk about the shit on here, I think I might blow another fuse. Or cry again. How embarrassment. So some distraction will be nice.

2008-05-30T22:44:00.002+10:00

Today I sat at the bus stop next to a crazy old man who was talking to his back pack. Apparently their conversation was quite amusing. I wish I'd picked a better seat.

And the lady who works at the Salvos in Box Hill drives me friggin mental!! Lady, you're at least in your 70s. I do not believe that no one in your life has ever told you that YOUR VOICE IS LOUD AND GRATING AND FUCKING ANNOYING AND YOU SHOULD DO THE WORLD A MASSIVE FAVOUR AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH FUCKING SHUT!!!!!!!!

And I love the ad for Twinings Lady Grey. That is all for now.

Every Now And Then

2008-05-28T15:49:00.002+10:00

There's nothing more luxurious than a new pair of tights. Bought three pairs for $8. And a vest for $15. And a jumper marked down from $70 to $21. Much to be said, but I'll do it later.

And Now I'm Old

2008-05-25T10:42:00.002+10:00

Took a bit of time off the blogging circuit for the birthday. Had an amazing time out on Friday night (and if you didn't come, you have no life). Slept most of Saturday, which means after going out for dinner last night, I have to spend all of today doing homework. Or I will die a most horrible and painful death.

But it's okay, as in a week and a half, I can do whatever, all the time. Read books. Sleep whenever. Go out. Forget about studying and my educational responsibilities. Sweet fun that will be.

Whoo!!

2008-05-22T09:03:00.003+10:00

So, it's the birthday tomorrow. Sweet celebrations have been planned and are all underway. I'm totally pumped!! But today is all about dedication to my craft (masses of assignments). And tonight is work, which is going to be massive as "Indiana Jones" comes out today. I'm. So. Excited. About. That. Movie.

Excuse me while I go dabble in study ...

Eric Hutchinson

2008-05-21T14:32:00.004+10:00

So, I've been in love with him forever. And now he has a deal with a major label. And he's got his first video clip. It's not brill. But it's still fun.

Should be glad for his success. But am worried about sharing him.

And for general sake:

I could honestly fall in love with someone who had a voice like that.

I Highly Recommend

2008-05-20T20:39:00.001+10:00

Oh, and PS - I fucking LOVE Frank Woodley's Metlink ad!!

Erinsborough = Gold!!

2008-05-20T20:20:00.002+10:00

OMG, Neighbours is brills!! Hot Chris has been beaten!! Steve and Declan have made menacing references to their intent!! Who is a violent maniac?!!

In other news, people who go to the movies during the day are all off their nut. Friggin hate them all. Stupid work.

Oh, and hello Simon. Stalker.

You're Unforgettable

2008-05-19T18:48:00.003+10:00

On Friday, skipped uni and went to see "Made of Honour" with Millie. Soooo craptacular!! Yesterday went shopping and bought two jackets - $25 marked down from $99. And right now I am watching the best. Neighbours. episode. EVER!!!!!!!!

OMG, I'm freaking out. Formal date is hot!! Fuuuuuuuuck!!!!

Shit

2008-05-17T22:53:00.002+10:00

I can feel it coming on again. I've started feeling a little bit ill when I dwell on it too much. Normally, I give it about two weeks until it passes. I'm at the stage where I don't want it to, and convince myself that for some reason it won't.

But let's be realistic. I'm too flighty and immature for this sort of thing.

Must stop trying to believe otherwise. No matter how ______ it feels right now.

Shit. Shit shit shit.

In a month I'll look back on this and laugh. Or feel deluded. But I don't want to. Right now it feels right.

Busy Business

2008-05-13T19:38:00.002+10:00

So, this afternoon was debating coaching. Went there straight after placement. Came home to work on uni assignments. Lucky am not working the two jobs this week. I'm too busy for my own good.

Now, must get back to shiz. Cannot wait until the end of the semester.

Things Are Shaping Up To Be Pretty Odd

2008-05-12T20:52:00.003+10:00

Wow, now I'm getting really slack!! Weekend was netters, work, attempts at homework, failure at homework. Oh well. Took today off, went to Chaddy with Manda, and netters later tonight. Then placement the next two days then that's done!! Thank goodness.

Updates should pick up once the semester finishes, as the stress will end there too. Just not a lot happening, really. Hmmm.

And then, because it's wonderful and beautiful and brilliant:

Dramatics

2008-05-09T23:09:00.002+10:00

Got home from work a little while ago, just chilling and watching "Neighbours", etc. Totes sweetness.

Whoops, just got my pizza out of the oven. Now settling to eats. Ooh, drama on the show!! Steve's not his father's son!! So much princeliness.

I've Had Enough Of Your Games

2008-05-08T19:31:00.002+10:00

Last day of placement today for this week, then two more days next week. Aiming for a sleep in tomoz, before heading off to uni for the first and only day this week - randomness.

Should be getting ahead on homework, but am having trouble concentrating. Shiteness.

Peace

2008-05-07T16:59:00.001+10:00

So, after two days of placement, today was babysitting, as per Wednesday usual. Going to see "Paris" tonight with Bec and Han, too.

Plus, the internet is fucking around, and being slow as slow can be.

Want to get some more work done, so must dash. Make tracks.

Slackness = Justified

2008-05-05T16:12:00.001+10:00

Massive few days on Thurs and Fri re assignments, work, etc. I had every second scheduled. Friday arvo, flew up to Queensland for the weekend.

Saturday was outlet shopping and treatments, Sun was beach walk and the flight home. Was so nice to be away from work and homework and responsibilities, and have to forget about it all.

But today was placement, hence fatigue. And am now going to start up on the homework again. Sweet candy.

You Can Hate Me After You've Paid Me

2008-04-30T15:53:00.001+10:00

Unexpected babysitting job today, and then a trip to Spotlight with Han. So much for having two days to catch up on life. I'm more behind than ever before. Massive list of things to do in the next few days before I head off to Queensland for the weekend. Huzzah!! And then placement!! And then masses of assignments!! And then the end of semester!! Can barely believe it. Just have to get through these next few weeks, though.

So, off to do work. As per usual.

What A Day I Have Had!!

2008-04-29T18:54:00.003+10:00

So, woke up at 9am to the sound of my mobile ringing. Was work. After all of my "yay, I get Tuesday off to sleep in and catch up on homework", they asked me to come in. I was feeling better, so I said yes.

Arrive there at 10 to find that there has been an ant invasion, and it's my job to drastically clean everything. Spend the next 6 hours going completely nuts, sterilising and cleaning everything, as I discovered that the rest of the place was also pretty gross.

Started feeling sick again, and congested, and couldn't breathe. And had about 150 people do the whole "oh, you're doing two jobs today!!" Bloody hell. Coughing fits, etc, which I tried to mask.

And then when it came time to cash off, the machine went crap and was all 'Validator cheated'. But then I cashed off, and it was sweetness, and the manager wrote me some note to go in my file saying I rock.

Basically, I'm tired, and I just watched a sweet ep of Neighbours, and it's time for Big Brother. Princely.

Treats and Shiz

2008-04-28T14:57:00.003+10:00

Still feeling a bit sick. A lot sick, really.

Am trying to sort things out though. Handed in my essay today. Will be working on the next assignment this week. Netball tonight. Just called the Placement Office and they're working on all that drama for me. Placement next week, bloody hell.

Oh, must get Cammens' birthday present too.

It Was The Smoke Detector, PS

2008-04-27T13:09:00.001+10:00

Woke up after Manda's din feeling sick and nauseous and achy all over. Slightly recovered, finished and printed my essay, and now I feel a bit like crap again. But am going to Chaddy with Hannous.

Tired ...

Kronk

2008-04-26T10:12:00.000+10:00

There's a recurring squeaking outside my room, and it's shitting me up the wall. Throat pains, too.

Homework today, and then Manda's 21st dinner tonight with all the fam. Shall be princely. Hoping to finish my essay so I can go out tomorrow for fun and laughter.

Off to investigate the noise ...

That's All

2008-04-25T16:00:00.001+10:00

Cam was just teaching me how to play "World of Warcraft". Still confused.

Am going to go some homework now.

Long Weekend Approaching

2008-04-24T15:03:00.002+10:00

Had no classes today, but ended up going into uni for five hours just for a twenty minute meeting for a group assignment. Oh well. Me and Beccus had a sweet two-hour break, and I explored the Main Collection in the library for the first time. I feel like new doors are opening for me!! Seriously, researching assignments will from now on be an absolute breeze!!

And now I have a solitary sitting place for library time, too. Sweetness.

Work tonight. Joyous. Sarcasm.

Stuff And Nonsense

2008-04-23T14:52:00.002+10:00

Got home from babysitting about an hour ago. So it turns out that I now have until early Monday to hand in my assignment. My life is so charmed. Because I cannot be bothered doing anything towards it right now. The weekend is a blessing.

By the way, did see "Lars" the other night. Twas a thrill. Funny, but a very quiet film. And there was this woman who kept laughing who was more hysterical than the movie. Hmmm.

Normal Tuesday

2008-04-22T19:07:00.002+10:00

Whoo!! Massive day at work, and just had dinner and watched "Neighbours". Need to catch up on assignments and shiz, but just need to set right now.

Randomness Galore

2008-04-21T16:33:00.002+10:00

Just had a dream where this boy was the heir to this magic ability that everyone was calling "Pandora's Box", and it made text become real. And his mother was desperately trying to use it to read out the section of the bible where Jesus is resurrected, so that He would come again, before these evil dudes got to the building to claim someone else was heir to the power and ruin her chances. I was totally caught up in thinking whether or not she would make it in time. Then I woke up. Dashed her plans there, eh??

After All That

2008-04-21T14:17:00.001+10:00

So long as plans don't fall apart again, I'm going to see "Lars and the Real Girl" tonight. Finally!! But am planning to get some serious assignment done before then. Must start now ...

Things Work Out

2008-04-20T19:59:00.002+10:00

So I thought to myself "gee, I'm so annoyed that I'm going to have to go in to uni just to drop something off." But now we're having a meeting for our group assignment on Thursday, so I have to go in anyway. And today I thought, "hmmm, can't be bothered to vend." And I was moved to candy bar. Wowza.

I lead a charmed life sometimes.

Imagine Knowing Me

2008-04-20T09:41:00.003+10:00

Have decided to take my time with my essay, as I'm working all of today, and it's totally unrealistic to think I might finish it. But that's okay. I'll deal.

It's occured to me that people are actually reading what I'm writing here. To which I say - damn, fo shizz I'm boring in print. Will try and spice it up more in the future, for everyone's benefit. Note to self - make life more interesting ...

Can't Wait For Holidays

2008-04-19T11:34:00.001+10:00

Hmmm, reckon I'll finish drama this weekend?? Unsure. But may as well try. Netters this arvo and then work tonight. Bloody price hikes at the cinema, meaning I can't do maths anymore. It's totally depressing.

And that's all for now.

= I Don't Try

2008-04-18T16:56:00.002+10:00

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.

That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!

The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.

Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.

You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.

Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.

As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

People Are Shits

2008-04-18T15:50:00.002+10:00

You know what shits me up the wall?? When you've been waiting for the train / bus / tram for about 20 minutes, and then someone comes up and is all "check the timetable, look at their watch impatiently, stare disbelievingly down the road". FUCK OFF!!!! You've been here for what, 20 seconds?! Walk, you lazy non-waiting shit!!

And rude shits who sit in the aisle seat and put their bag next to them, and stick up their nose when the bus fills up and everyone's standing and still refuse to move. Shits.

And people who are so desperate to stand right next to the doors for when the vehicle comes to stop that they push and shove you to get there, and ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL walk between you and the thing you're hanging on to for balance, so you fall over, rather than diverting slightly and going around your back. Shits.

Face, Cheese, Etc

2008-04-17T17:30:00.002+10:00

Whoo!! Just printed it off, bitches!! How about that?!!

But now I'm aiming to get my drama essay finished to hand in by Monday, so I don't have to go in for the rest of the week. Let's see if I can do it.

Also thought - another person I was paired up with for practicum has dropped out of the course. Geez - I'm an allergen.

Cotton On Frequenting

2008-04-17T16:21:00.004+10:00

Just bought five new pieces of clothing for $40. Feeling pretty proud of myself. Plus, the money was from babysitting last night, which was a totally random occurence, and so extra money than I would usually be earning.

Must finish putting in footnotes, etc for my essay, and start on my next one. Geez. It never ends.

Pas De Cheval

2008-04-16T09:26:00.001+10:00

Less than 500 words to go. Sweet candy!!

Today Han and I are scouting out costume digs for Manda's party, then I'm going to babysit. Slightly random, I haven't looked after those kids for about six months. Oh well. Cash is cash.

Am achieving intellectual greatness this morning, though. After breakfast.

Progression Is Bliss

2008-04-15T11:52:00.001+10:00

More than 10% of my way through my essay, bitches!! Continue this streak, and I may not fail this semester after all. Glory glory.

Must get ahead or life will be shit later. Must must must.

Jump! Down On Jump Street

2008-04-14T22:00:00.003+10:00

Just watched some "21 Jump Street" with Bissies, which was sweetness. Had netball this evening too, won 8 to 24. Corker of a night!!

Yesterday was the high tea, which was equally awesome. Sweet food and sweet showbag = sweet time.

Now, the next two days are to be totally devoted to homework. I have to get onto it. Only 6 more weeks or so of semester. Got to last.

Jumbo Combo

2008-04-13T08:38:00.001+10:00

Spent all of last night dreaming about the bloody Candy Bar. I hate that. The entire night, I'm still serving people in my sleep. Shit.

But today's the High Tea, which I'm totes pumped about, and why I'm up at this hour on a Sunday. Hmmm ... wonder what's in the showbag??

The Days Of Rest

2008-04-12T10:30:00.001+10:00

Okay, so, it's finally the weekend. Time to buckle down and get some shit done. I'm off to my room now to write essays etc.

Boy, isn't life fun!!

Time Is Passing Quickly

2008-04-11T15:32:00.002+10:00

Home. Finally the weekend. Does that mean I'll finally start getting some work done?? I hope so. Netters tomorrow, too. Whoo!!

And then the high tea's on Sunday. Need to sort out detes for that, actually. Hmmm ... note to self ...

When I Look In Her Eyes

2008-04-10T22:00:00.002+10:00

Well, I just see the sky. Got "She Had The World" stuck in my head. Been singing it to myself all day.

Feeling a bit mellow, but still worried un peu about all my upcoming assignments. 7 more weeks, and then semester is over. New subjects to stuff up. Sweeeet.

Was working tonight, but got sent home early. Randomness. And unexpected. But nice.

Homework Is Calling

2008-04-09T17:08:00.002+10:00

Didn't end up seeing "Lars and the Real Girl" last night, as stuff came up making peeps busy, meanwhile I was in severe and unyielding pain from my various bruises, etc.

But babysitting today, and went to Bridge Rd with Han. Bought a pair of shoes, marked down from $80 to $20. Totally euphoric.

Absolute Craziness

2008-04-08T08:08:00.001+10:00

My legs feel bruised and battered after a massive collision and stack last night at netball. Didn't win the game, but it was neck and neck the entire time. Totally sweet (minus the injuries, etc). Now I can barely move. Work today, as well.

Plus, tonight I'm seeing "Lars and the Real Girl". This will be the 4th movie I've seen in a week. How crazy is that?! Before working at Riv, I'd maybe see a max of 4 movies a year. Craziness!!

Old Time Rock And Roll

2008-04-07T14:59:00.004+10:00

Bought some new clothes on the way home from uni. I'm really spending a lot of money recently. But I love them. Didn't find anything in the op-shop, which shat me un peu.

The days and weeks are going by so fast. I need to start doing more homework, or I'll have a nervous breakdown in six weeks. Just watch me.

And then, because it's an eternal classic:

He Tried To Save The Calendar Business

2008-04-06T08:39:00.002+10:00

This whole daylight savings thing is really confusing me. I thought it changed back tomorrow. Apparently it's today. But then according to the government website, you're supposed to change your clocks at 3am. But is that the 3am that's passed, or the 3am of tomorrow morning?? I have no idea what time it is right now ...

And in other news, I have "Mad As Rabbits" stuck in my head.

Haven't done any homework this weekend, re too many shifts at work. Really don't feel like failing this year, thanks.

Recovery Road

2008-04-05T11:44:00.002+11:00

After a massive sleep-in, I'm feeling much better.

Cammens came home from Rugby Tour today, and brought me a Wildcats pennant. Sweeeet. Not sure where to put it yet, though.

My room is also a massive mess, but I totally cannot be bothered to tidy it. I did that just a few days ago.

Work In Two Hours

2008-04-04T15:49:00.002+11:00

And it just took me two hours to get home from uni. I feel tired and sick.

And I hate the world.

The Price Of Beauty

2008-04-03T19:29:00.002+11:00

Jackets are too expensive. I need them. It's freezing. I have about two, and I'm forced to wardrobe repeat far too often. Killing me.

But money. Issue.

Yeah, must apply myself to that work now. Reminding myself that I have to leave the house at 7.30 tomorrow morning. No time for a quick morning catch-up!!

Fatigued Beyond Belief

2008-04-03T16:00:00.002+11:00

Blackout at uni today, but still had classes unfortunately. Soooo tired right now, but must finish homework that I didn't do last night. Serves me right. Due tomorrow.

I need new shoes, too.
