Centrelink...the blasted thing!

Denners...here is CLAIMING ASSISTANCE MONEY 101:

To require financial help from the government one has to
1. Prove that they have a job to support themselves financially and prove that you dont actually need the assistance money
2. Go on the net and fill out X-amount of forms that take forever that that condradict everything you say and wont allow you to fill things in correctly
3. Sit for an hour and wait while said forms are being assessed.
4. Go to the Help-lady to ask for assistance, whereupon being told she is not legally allowed to help you
5. Go home and get your parents (that you are not living with anymore qand which is the reason why you are trying to claim for youth allowance) to fill out another load of forms that invade your bank privacy and entail the said parents to get frustrated with student claiming for extra money because her bank statements are all out of order
6. Go back to Centrelink and pray that you've filled everything out correctly.
7. REPEAT THIS 5 TIMES

Well, this has been my life for the past 2 years, and we have been at Centrelink all morning trying to figure stuff out. What ****s me is that a person who is homeless, penniless, and a no-hoper can waltz into Centrelink and get given money straight away. People like me who actually want to ACCOMPLISH something in their life have to struggle to get assistance...not fair. The rule is said that pretty much if I became a drug addict or alcoholic I'd be set for life...i dont know whether its a good thing or not that i'm not any of those things.
Oh well...back to Centrelink stuff...I HATE CENTRELINK...Bomb it!!! ARRRGH!

Ghost Adventures & Other ****

Hey Denners.
BLESSED YULE (for a couple of days ago)
Been a while, aye? I'm addicted to a recently found TV show on Youtube called Ghost Adventures, which follows the adventures of Zak, Nick and Aaron, as they travel around America and other parts of the world to get Locked Down in the most haunted places they can find. The first episode I watched was about the Villisca Axe Murders in IOWA, which left 8 people, 6 of which were kids, brutally murdered in their beds. The house is said to have both good and bad energy and the G.A. team managed to get in contact with at least 2 of the children murdered there (Paul and Lena) as well as their would-be killer. I absolutely love G.A because I think it's more believable than all the other Ghost hunting teams, as they bring in skeptics, priests and other people who have witnessed the hauntings first class. Zak is so hot (I know everyone says that) but I LOVE Aaron...his facial expressions are hilarious and he's always tripping over stuff! Like, not even 5mins after he steps onto a location he'll trip over something! hehe! I loved the episode about the Stanley Manor as well...that was the place where Stephen King got his idea for The Shining. What better place to base a ghost story than in an actual haunted house?! I kinda wish these guys would come to Cocos and film something about Oceania House...not likely...if they came to Australia they would be filming the Monte Cristo Manor...I sooo wanna go there. (Gunna be tantalisingly close in a few days). ON the freaky side of G.A. I am an absolute idiot for watching one particular episode at 9:00 at night...Th episode was about Bobby Mackey's Music World and the hauntings and demonic possessions that have happened there. Something in my gutt was telling me not to watch that episode but of course I didnt listen and I didnt get to sleep until 2:30 last night because of it! I wont go into the details but Exorcism was involved!!!:O Sometimes I think Zak, Nick and Aaron are either crazy or guttens for punishment. They went back to Bobby Mac's not once, not twice but THREE times! They're CRAZY! The one thing I loved about the episode however, was the song Bobby Mac wrote for one of the ghosts there - Johanna...absolutely love it. I wonder if whenever he plays it she's listening and smiling.

My EXAMS are done and dusted for this semester and I found the 1013 one super easy. I got into the Exam thinking I was gunna crumble and die and was like "Holy Crap! I know all this!!!" Totally took me by surprise...Havent got my results back yet but I hope I do soon...the suspense is kiling me!

I'm so excited cos in a few days I'll be going to Sydney for the first time since I was about 3-4yrs old! I'll be meeting Mum down there as she has a few photography courses to go to and we'll be going to the Zoo and seeing our Elephants plus going on a tour:) I really wanna go to The Rocks cos it's reputed to be haunted...Yes, I know...the G.A. scare the other night hasnt deterred me from my love of the paranormal. I have no idea what else we'll get up to, but I bet its gunna be bloody cold! BRING ON THE DODGY RAINCOAT! Only got 2 1/2 days to go until I leave and I cant handle the waiting...been counting down the days for like 3 weeks! It would be ok if I had something to pass the time with (working for example) but even thats still in low supply! I'm sitting on my butt day in and out twiddling my thumbs willing the time to go faster...I WANNA BE DOWN IN SYDNEY!!!

Wiccan Together

Hey Denners

Got loads to talk about seeing as it's been a few weeks since my last entry. Dunno if people actually READ by blog but who cares....so, looks like I'm talking to myself.

I'm really excited cos I've just joined an online chatroom for Wiccans and Pagans. It's really good so far; I've met a lot of amazing and funny people who are willing to listen and offer advice and friendship and generally make me feel better. i.e never going to forget how funny saying:

IRISH WRISTWATCH out loud was...Hilarious! I was laughing for half an hour.

Of course, Mum is being nazi with the whole thing, I got read the online-stalkers-and-perverts lecture, but I'm not stupid...I know not to give out any personal details...I think I'd be a bit daft if I decided to hand out my Bank account details willy-nilly. But yeah, made some cool friends, mostly from America, but one person lives in Perth so I've another Aussie friend too. LOL! I have had ONE disturbing incident so far. Got harrassed by this one guy that kept trying to HIT ON ME then told me he wasn't but I've reported him and blocked him so it's all good. Fair warning to all you perves out there, leave me alone...I do not want a relationship!

X-men First Class is out in the movies today. That, and the fact that today was the last day of Uni for the semester is the only good thing I have to comment on right now. I have just learned of the most villianous atrocity ever to have happened...it will seriously effect my life! That skinny punce Jamie Bower who did some random vampire on Twilight (yuck) is going to do Jace in the movie of City of Bones! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! My life is OVER! My worst fears have been realised! What the **** does Catherine Hardwick think she's doing!? And WHY does SHE have to direct it?! Why not Stephen Sommers or Jerry Bruckheimer...why??? I do believe that in the book it describes Jace as HOT - not a skinny, bug-eyed, poofy-lipped FREAK! Sorry...I have nothing against Jamie Bower but I DO have something against him being Jace...it's unethical! Why, for God's sake didn't Alex Pettyfer (or someone that looks like him) get the part? I may be wrong...maybe Jamie will play the part ok...but seriously, he looks and sounds like a GIRL! Jamie Campbell doing Jace...have they ****ing lost it?!

*blushes* okay over it now...just really needed to get that off my chest. I hope that Catherine Hardwick will get lots of hate mail about this atrocity that she'll do a recast for someone hotter and less 'feminine' looking. The only sweet solice is the girl who's doing Clary...whom I like very much...so hopefully it'll even it out a bit. I can gag at him and cheer for her. Let me guess...all the other actors who do Simon and Alec will be hotter than Jace (who's supposed to be the hottest out of them all). *mortally destroyed!*

I'll See You In The Summerland

A poem I wrote for my brother, Zahn's 21st Birthday. 20.5.11

I'll meet you in the Summerland
I hope you're waiting for me
Under skies of velvet blue
And soft green endless seas.
I never got to see you
I never got to know
Why you left us so damn early
Or if you miss me so.
I see you in the trees, the sky
On the island where we never played
We would've been the best brother and sister
But of course you never stayed.
I dream of you, I see you
Running over fields of gold
Laughing, smiling, always happy
Youthful, never old.
I see you standing on a cliff
staring out to the setting sun
Impish smile upon your cheeks
Your life cant yet be done.
You're with me on the beach back home
Lying with me under the starry sky
Joking, annoying the hell outta me
At least we would be if you didnt die.
Every time I hear your name
I think of what can never be
Those sibling banters in the hall
Or if you're proud of me.
These blotchy teardrops on the page
Just will not go away
I have nothing of you, nothing
To help me light my way.
Why did you never tease me
Or muffle up my hair
I bet you would've drove me crazy
Oh, this just is not fair!
Sometimes I wish I never knew
That I was meant to have a brother
Maybe I would've been spared the pain
I feel like I'm being smothered.
I have nothing of you
No memories to cry about
But still I manage to miss you
Which leaves me in doubt.
Do you think of your little sister
And the family you left behind
Or do you relish in your own freedom
And the dreams you've yet to find?
Although I'll see you in Summerland
I wish our bond anew
I want you to tell me that you love me
And how much you miss me too.
I want you there to tell me
That i'm crying for a reason
That you are watching me from above
And with me every season.
I wonder what you'd look like
Would you look like me?
I'm betting you'd be handsome
I'm sure that you would be.
While you run through Summer grass
I lie awake at night
Wishing I was there with you
And in your line of sight.
You're gone for good, I know that
But part of me still dreams
That one day I'll finally meet you
An eternity, it seems.
Can you see me, brother?
And the guilt that I feel
I mean, why did I make it and you not?
Surely that wasnt part of te deal!
If you were here you'd tell me
To be grateful I'm alive
To suck it up and make the most of it
This life you were deprived.
So I will live and try, brother
I'll make my dreams come true
Cos I'm not just living for myself, Zahn
I am also living for you.

Happy Birthday Aminta

Aminta's 2nd Birthday today and the RSPCA Paws Walk. We raised $284 and Aminta walked very well, though she pulled a lot with all the excitement. Aminta really enjoyed having her best friend, Hannah, along and Mini met another Birthday Dog. 6 yr old Lucy the Cavalier King Charles. Aminta had an awesome day and so did I but I am sooooo tired. Aminta is very tired and had been asleep since we got back home. She got a new bandanah and a coat for her birthday. The best part of the day was when Aminta went for a swim in the pond and misjudged the depth and went under. hehe! You couldnt help but giggle with glee.

Recooperating

Hey Denners.

Been a few days. Been sick with Tonsilitis for a few days *bleuch* wont fill you in with all the gory details though cos you may stop reading. I really hate being stuck in bed all day with either my nan trying to sucker me up with proposals to cook and look after me like an overly desperate nursemaid, or complining that just cos I'm sick I cant just sit around and do nothing. *sigh* I can never win. I suppose that's what Granny's are for.

It's a very special day tomorrow. Not only is my Aminta baby 2 years old but she's also entering the RSPCA Million Paws Walk '11!!!! 4km walk! GO MINI! Chrystal and Hannah are joining me so I wont be going through it alone. Although it's a good excuse to talk to people. Mainly guys. Dogs make good conversation starters. Who knows...I may see that hot Maori guy I met down the Spit there:P

Besides that I've got LOADS of stuff to do for Uni. Got another oral on next week >.<

(ARRRRGHHHH....I'm getting sick of watching that bloody "exit mould" ad! It's been on like 20 times today...And I've been in front of the TV all day!)

First Gym Injury!!! GO ME!

My new favourite Quote of the Day:

I'M NOT ARGUING, I'M JUST EXPLAINING WHY I AM RIGHT.

Went to the gym last night to do this Circuit thingo with Chrystal and DAMN my shoulderblades are killing me! Also, I aquired my first gym injury last night. The damn BIKE attacked me. Silly Phil didn't warn me that the bike peddles DIDN'T STOP until AFTER I had 3 big gashes up my leg!Yes...I look like my cat had a disagreement with me! How attractive >.<
Besides that, I got to kick the crap out of the punching bag to let off some much needed steam but the funniest thing about gym is that Chrystal and I are LOONIES! We seriously do not take it seriously. Everyone else in there has their 'game-faces' on and we're cackling to ourselves and trying to push each other over!! Haha! Ode to be young! I'm getting better at the leg-ups and what not but I think I was in a weird position when I did them last night cos of my sore back. Lol.

Again, I am totally obsessed with the GARGOYLES. Just finished the first season and the last few episodes were a CRACK UP! My Favourite lines so far in it are:
*An explosion outside rocks the cinema Lex, Brooklyn and Broadway are in*
Broadway: "Wow...that surroundsound's really gettin good..."
Lexington: "I don't remember any explosions in Bambi...:S"

AND

Brooklyn: Yeah, use THE FORCE, Lex >.<

They are soooo funny. But my favourite episode so far was the one where Elisa (the cop) gets shot. The quote in there is something Hudson, one of the Gargoyles says: "Tv...video games...these days its hard to tell what's REAL anymore." And Broadway is loving movies about guns and shooting, and when he's playing with Elisa's gun it goes off and hits her (blood and everything...hey! It's Disney). The bullet almost kills her and from then on Broadway HATES guns. But the moral of the episode was really good. Children these days (and I suppose back then as well) watch TV and play games with guns and that but they dont understand the implications of shooting someone else would be. Guns are not cool and I liked that that episode was trying to get that across to kids. Oh, the days when Disney made awesome TV shows. These days it's crap stuff like Dora the Explorer.

(GEEZ, a Storm has just made it's way into Beenleigh...ITS BLOWIN A GAIL!!!!!)

Almost finished doing all my Uni stuff...this month is full of Orals (EWWWWWWW). So not looking forward to it, but I think I'll enjoy my first one with Kerry, Beti and Haylee...we make a good group. And although this doesnt really fit the situation but It's Not Where You Are, It's Who You're With...hate my class and orals but I love my group:) Speaking of Uni, gotta type something else out.

Laterz.
