i love christmas. tim converted me into a total christmas person. i love everything about it.
i'm excited about this christmas, because we'll be lazing and drinking champagne and eating prawnsies: all the things i love the most.
i'm working heaps at the moment, but it's actually good because i don't hate it and the shifts go fast and it's earning me money. i'm still not very good at being paid fortnightly, though. i tend to spend all of my money in the first week.
i'm house-sitting my aunty's house at the moment, which is kind of shit because it's not the best of houses. they don't even have a saucepan or a colander. it's strange how a family of five can inhabit such an unliveable house.
it's also good because richie and i can laze around with the house to ourselves. and it's much closer to work than cheltenham.
lawrence and alex and dennis and kerry came and visited last week, which was awesome. their new band, eucalpt, were rad. they played a show at john's and then a carpark show. i have some photos, but i need to load them up at my house. anyway, that was fun. we didn't really get to hang out much because it was such a whirlwind visit and the boys had driven so they were pretty exhausted.
enrolment for uni opens at midnight tonight. i know i sound like a nerd, but all the other law students are nerdier and will get on the internet probably before me and fill up the quota of the one subject i really want to do, probably. so i'm in a bit of a panic. i really really want to do law and medicine, because it's pretty much one of the only law subject areas that really interests me. if i don't get in i'm going to be SHATTERED.
i best go. i have to shower and go to work.
mazza, here i come!

i am sick of being a fatty. i've decided i really really need to lose some weight. i fit into only about 1/4 of my clothes. and not being able to squish into my jeans SUCKS. so many nice things i want to wear again.
i got called into work today. this was bad because i was supposed to go around to andrew's house with richie, which would have been fun. instead, my day has been ruined by working 2-5pm. i need the cash, though, and i need a good reputation at work, so i shouldn't complain too much.
in good news, it's richie's birthday on saturday and i'm heaps heaps excited. yey! i love birthdays!

| blergh ... exams |
[22 Nov 2006|03:47am] |
uni sucks, i hate it. this semester has been a nightmare. i just have no patience for anything. the subjects were probably good, but i just couldn't concentrate on anything. i just want to pass them and have it over and done with.
i have my last exam tomorrow morning, and i've decided i'm going to wing it. i should know at least 51% of the course, i figure.
not much else to report. this past fortnight has been ruined by exams. i receive my first paycheck since, like, july tomorrow. i'm pretty excited, even though it's only for $90 and i owe a lot more than that.
i'm going to go now and chop up a banana and an apple, and then eat them combined in a bowl. that's what i feel like.
xo
p.s. halloween photos are now up on my myspace page.

i've just spent several hours (on end) doing an admin assignment. i think my brain's about to implode. i actually really like admin now that i've taken time to understand it, but a 2,400 word problem question assignment is actually pretty nuts. there's so much to think about. and my eyes hurt A LOT now from the computer screen's brightness.
the good news is that i'm almost done.
tomorrow richie and i start house-sitting at his uncle's house in largs bay. it's heaps far away and we have to look after a dog, but the plus side is that we'll have to walk the dog (so i'll get some much-needed exercise!) and it's a pretty sweet house.
chris came over to richie's last night for dinner and we had parmies and drank three bottles of this $5 white that sue bought off a colleague. it was pretty drinkable, especially after the second bottle...!
i'm going to take a break from the computer so that my back doesn't hurt for the rest of the day.

wow. i used to actually be pretty skinny. i'm looking at oldish photos and it's making me depressed. the last couple of months have been food central. i just eat a lot when i'm happy.

finally a photo post!
not many photos, but at least it might demonstrate what i look like at the moment.
find below my new haircut, my new boy (who doesn't like having his photo taken very much), and my op-shopping day with t-face (please note: photos will not necessarily appear in that order):
op-shop finds today include:
- a black-and-white stripe heart brooch (plastic)
- a yellow and black stripe blouse
- a green, red, blue and yellow crazy top
- a pink top with super-ruffle shoulders
- a pair of navy and white stripe men's shorts
- a 'universita' roma' t-shirt (with PUFFY LETTERING - love!)
- a blue shirt that i like that was intended for drewboy (who doesn't want it)
- a bright peachy-pink scarf
a pretty good haul, in all.
and i had a peanut butter and chocolate ice-cream for baskin robbins, so i'm one happy cat.

been spending all my time chillin' at richie's house. that boy is the absolute best. i've been super lazy, but it's mostly because i'm poor and not because i hate you.
still "looking" for a job. i've taken a big step and printed off a few resumes, but i haven't really distributed them yet. i don't know where i want to work. furthermore, i don't actually want to work.
watched the football grand final on saturday. richie won $102.00 (despite gambling narc [read: me] being all like 'don't gamble, blah blah blah'), which was sa-weet. that'll keep us going for a little while longer!
cool things:
- lipton's lemon or mango iced tea
- laziness
- uni holidays
- talking to t-face on the phone
- poker nights
- drewboy
- baked beans and cheese on toast
- queer eye for the straight guy repeats on foxtel
- karaoke
- mum's lemon cheesecake
i'm going op-shopping tomorrow. if i find anything good, it'll be the first article of clothing i'll have bought in recent memory. some things really suck about being poor.
take care.

i've had my hair cut (twice) since i last posted. it's fair short now.
i should put an updated photo of myself on here.
i think i look cute.
i've been pretty busy. i need to start looking for a job, though. if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
i'm currently avoiding doing an assignment on property in the human body. it's interesting, but i am in no mood. i'm just super excited about the rockstar supernova grand finale tonight. mum already watched it live to air this morning, so now she's walking around with a big smirk on her face cos she knows something i don't know.
i'm annoyed because i just got back a professional english in law assignment and i only got 70%. i though i deserved more than that, but the guy just hates me because i always look bored in class and we have these really dumb, frustrating maturies in our tute that really drive me ca-razy.
i miss megan. i'm looking forward to her coming home and hearing about all her travels.

movies you have to see before you die:
- 'snakes on a plane'
best movie ever.
the highlight comes about three quarters the way through the movie when the lights go out on the aeroplane and someone on the screen yells "snakes!".
oh, and i also liked when a snake bites a guy's dick while he's peeing. totally classic material.

wow. i haven't posted in a long, long time.
new zealand was fun. kind of too long, but fun. i do love my fam, so it was cool to HAVE to hang out with them for two weeks solid.
highlights:
skiing
zorbing
record-player necklace
gin and tonics
james blunt cd
my own hilarity
new zealand accents
lowlights:
the accommodation at taupo
the stench of rotorua
missing richie
lack of good shopping
the week i got back i basically did nothing. richie and i were so happy to have each other back. we lazed and i was a housefrau for a week (and a pretty damn good one at that).
i'll post some photos of my trip if i can ever be bothered.

if you haven't seen the film clip for tiga's song 'far from home', you should download it. tiga is amazing. anyone who calls their album 'sexor' is a god in my eyes.

| as far as i know, as far as i know, there'll always be a place called home... |
[27 Jul 2006|10:13pm] |
i go away to new zealand for two weeks tomorrow morning. as richard said, that's four dog months. i'm going to miss him like a crazy person.
meanwhile, i am super super excited about zorbing, skiing, white water rafting, hot springs, etc etc. and i love my family to pieces and haven't seen them that much recently, so it's going to be rad to be able to spend time with them for a whole fortnight.
in a creepy coincidence, megan is catching the same plane as me to new zealand, so we're going to try and hook up at the airport and get seats next to each other. AMAZING! what is the likelihood of megan's 3-month round-the-world trip coinciding with my parent-planned sojourn? pretty low, i'd say! i love how things always coincide in radelaide.
the only other news is that i am now jobless, which kind of sucks and kind of RUUUULES. i worked my last shift at that awful call centre last night. now i need to think of somewhere else to work. jobs just always seem to have fallen into my lap. it's going to be weird jobhunting. i plan to start when i get back.
take care. catch ya on the flipside.

i am crazily sleep deprived. i keep sleeping badly. i don't think anything's troubling me. i've just messed with my body clock too much. i've broken the sleep barrier, and so now i'm all jittery.
richie's playing pool tonight so i'm hanging around my house. first night i'll have slept at home in 8 days.
not been up to much. seeing megan a bit, which is awesome. it is the lady's birthday tomorrow (21 is OLD. hahaha), so we're going out for dinner.
saw tim's new digs on saturday night. soooo rad. he's a happy little camper. saw keish also, which was great.
not much else. dinner's up, so i'm out.
xx
p.s. i don't care what anyone else says. i heart the presets. 'are you the one?' is an excellent song.

wow. it's been a long time since i updated. over a fortnight, i think. consequently, i don't know where to start.
at present, i have just finished baking cookies and i'm waiting for richard to swing by and pick them up on his way to sellick's beach.
tonight i'm going to shotz to see some of my peeps.
i should call tim and see if he can come, because i haven't seen him for ages and i miss him.
- i just bought myself a really cute new purse.
- i am soon going to be jobless because my call centre is closing down, so i should be re-writing my resume as we speak.
- almost the only way to contact me now is on my mobile (i know, i know, i'm a cell out) because i'm basically living at richard's.
- kenny vs spenny is the funniest show on television. followed closlely by afv (america's funniest videos).

should be studying for an exam, but i was bored before i even opened my books.
all i can look forward to is two and a half solid weeks of free time. this friday it will be four weeks until i go on holiday to new zealand, so it's all pretty sa-weet at the moment.
yesterday i had my exam (sucked), and then went and had coffee with keisha and mandi, which was awesome awesomeness. it was soooo good to see mandi. i hope we can catch up again soon.
then in the evening i went to my boy's house, and we had a good night of quality viewing - mythbusters, followed by mythbusters, followed by the mighty boosh, then a gap, and then the soccer.
i'm still pretty devastated about the result of the soccer. australia owned that match. 10 seconds. such a shame. i just feel so bad for people who are actually socceroos fans. i'm just a supporter of good games of soccer, and i thought the game last night was pretty good. that's enough jocktasticness from me, though.
tomorrow i've got my exam in the morn, and then i'm having coffee with keish and candice, and then dinner with keisha. after which i'll either go watch richard play pool (he's a dork), or we'll stay at home and look after his mommy.

exams suck. other people's attitudes towards exams suck. i can't see richard until monday now because he's worried about studying etc. i haven't seen him since friday afternoon. it's KILLING me.
update:
- wednesday night i watched harold and kumar go to white castle at richard's. i love that film.
- thursday night i worked, slept for three hours, then went into the city to watch the soccer.
- friday night i worked and went to rocket for the wolf eyes show. true rad and mstc ruled it, but i wasn't in the mood for grey daturas (for shame). wolf eyes were the worst band ever. it was nice to see some peeps, though. went home and got another three hours' sleep.
- today i woke up at 6am and drove to keisha's house to help her move out by 9am. then we had breakfast and painted her bedroom.
-now i'm at home. i should be studying but i'm sad and lonely and cold and distracted. i might just go to bed.

i am the laziest person ever. i have had the laziest week of my life. i think my being-in-bed to doing-stuff ratio is about 20:1.
i have a crim assignment due tomorrow that i haven't started. this is not out of the ordinary. however, i'm a terrible influence on richard. i'm quite distracting, apparently.

i am so happy.
if i could rate my happiness on a one to ten scale, it would be eleven.
metal show the other night was good. sucks because i missed equal minded and i really wanted to see them.
saw the abandonment (blah), and a secret death (fuck yesss!). secret death are the best metal band in australia. hands down. amazing.
last night i went and saw 'colour me kubrick' with richard. the movie was good, but only because john malkovich is blow-my-mind amazing. the premise is good, but the plot is pretty lacking. fun to watch, though.
today i'm going to keisha's house for lunch with her fam. i miss richard already.

i've been living in one of those crazy not-getting-to-sleep-until-6am-and-then-having-bacon-and-eggs-for-breakfast-at-like-5pm kind of worlds. awesome fun.
megan came over and hung out at richard's last night, and we made sangria and played scattergories. richard had never tried watermelon before, but he wasn't sold on the "texture".
today i should have spent all day writing my contract research essay (worth 40% of my grade for contract), but i just lazed around all day instead. i'm so relaxed right now. i can't even psych myself into getting stressed out about this essay.
tomorrow night i'm working, saturday i'm playing drunk soccer with keisha and ashley and then going evan's birthday drinks and then to a secret death's show at fowlers, and sunday i'm probably working again. woot woot. bring on the weekend!
