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.

The Highwayman

Hey Denner-people.

Oh My God! They're FINALLY making my all-time favourite poem into a movie...THE HIGHWAYMAN should be coming out this or next year!!!! Trailer hasnt come out yet so I'm kinda bummed about that. BUT SO EXCITED!!!!!! And I've memorised ALL the lyrics to the poem (it helps when they make a song out of it. Download it, it's by Loreena McIntosh).

I've spent the last 2 days typing up my winged-kids story that I have called BEYOND THE CLOUDS. I've already written 20 odd pages!!! Amazing. Now the battle will be to finish it! Got my awesome new jacket today...sweet. Cant wait till it's cold enough to wear it. Cant believe I just said that...I hate winter!

Assessment No. 1.

Okay...only JUST passed but at least I passed. There's only room to move upwards now:) Harry, our tutor, said that 15/30 is a good mark for 1st year students:)

Just Another Day

Hey Denners.

Today has been a lazy day for me which is a relief after all the hussle and bustle yesterday. I woke up at 10am and went to the Gym with Chrystal an hour later. We didnt find the Crunches and Leg-ups as hard today, although Chrystal seems to be struggling with the arm weights. We're both doing fairly well with the leg toners. I think, going by approximation here, I got rid of about 120 calories, which is good...work off the Maccas I had a few days ago:S
Mostly I've been at home enjoying my favourite pasttime...drawing. Did an awesome picture of my winged girl, Kit, and the Blue Mountains in the background. I kinda cheated and blacked the background out a lot, but I know where my strengths lie and it certainly isnt in landscape...hate drawing landscape but I didnt just wanna leave it blank.

I haven't got too much to do Uni-wise. Well, to put it bluntly, I CANT do anything much to do with Uni except my Socio-Cultural poster for our Group Presentation. I cant do my Intro to Ed thing cos (AS USUAL) no one has sent me their stuff for me to type notes up on!!! We met Wednesday last week for a group meeting and they all said they'd email me their notes over the weekend. It is now Monday and the "script" is due on Wednesday this week. Knowing my group they'll probably send me their stuff he night before and expect me to have it done by the next morning, ready to go. Sorry...I may be the Time Keeper for our group and as such I'm in charge of making the Presentation run smoothly, but I cant do it by myself, especially when I have nothing to go by! *sigh* Mum just tells me to go with it, but it's hard when your overall Grade is judged by what EVERYONE does. I'm not someone who can get up in front of people and "wing it", I need practise and it helps to know what I'm DOING before I get up and yammer on infront of people. How can I possibly pass this assessment when my group isnt letting me?! And to finish off my rant about the injustices of Uni life I cant do my ICT subject either cos I need Claire for that and time in class...Claire better be in class tomorrow cos if she isnt I'm gunna blow my top! If she is I really wanna knuckle down and get HEAPS done in our 3hr session...since class time is really the only time we can do this assignment. And with my Drama class all I really have to do is read some of the plays in our textbook and choose which ones I'd like to do and get back to my group about it. I'm not too worried about my Drama and Socio class cos my group are awesome and I get along with them...just worried about my Intro to Ed and ICT class. (just heard back from my Socio class so it's all good).

Alright...better get on with making my Socio poster:) Should be good seeing as I have to use my GOOD ART paper to make it *sniff*

The Beach

Hey Denners

Back from the beach and have had a lovely time with Chrystal, Hannah and Louise. Louise and Aminta really hit it off and poor Louise seemed reluctant to say goodbye to Aminta at the end of the day. I think we'll be going out later for a walk in the park so Ami and Louise can have one more romp. Enjoyed the beach as always...had strawberry icecream which was really nice. Geez, the coned icecream costs cheaper than the packaged stuff!

So tired so I'm gunna call it a day.

Kire

Lots of exercise

Hey Denners

Just a quick one today.
Sitting at the computer now with a mug of hot tea and some vegemite on bread, trying to relax after our early morning gym sesh. Been pretty good, lost about 100 calories, so that covers the chocolate I had yesterday...Dunno about he Maccas!
Going to the beach later on with Aminta, Chrystal, Hannah and her 10 year old cousin, Louise. Should be interesting, but after the workout my legs can barely move!!! Just sitting down is straining them...yeah, I'm pussy, but so what. There were a few hot guys at the gym today...none of the comic book characters showed up though, so no laughing-time for me.

May put up some photos later about our beach fun, but I am already dog-tired so I'll see how I go.

Regrets

Hey people

Have you ever had one of those times where you wish you could go back in time and alter past events that had a big impact on your life? I have more than enough of those, but in this case I am talking about an impact I potentially had on someone else's life...and I wish more than anything that I could go back and change it...or at least say how sorry I was.
I've lost count how many years have gone by but I think I was about 12 at the time. We had a new arrival on Cocos, Antionette, and although me and my buds accepted her into our group at first we quickly turned our backs on her when we realised that she was a bit "odd." It wasnt just that; she was a bit violent too, and if she didnt get her way she'd scratch us with her abnormally long nails. We all hated and feared her, and although I was a bit more tactful when it came to dealing with her I still admit now that I was wrong to do it. No one ever wants to admit they were a bully, and I've had more than my fair share of it, but in a way we were bullying her, and probably at a time when she needed friends. Albeit, it's kind of hard to stick by someone when they wanna rip your face off with one wrong word, but it still wasnt right on my part.
I want to put it down to the fact that I was young and didnt understand but I think I'd be lying if I didnt say that I noticed something off about her family. Her father, Martin, scared me so much, and her mother didnt seem to give two ****s about her. I suppose that's where all her problems stemmed from. In a way, I guess she was abused, so it's not really her fault with the way she turned out.
I wish I could have understood a bit more then and realised what she was going through. She was still weird and creepy and dirty, but we could have helped her. We could have at least tolerated her until she left Cocos. We all used to joke and make fun of her, and yes I still tell all those funny stories today, but I do regret them.
I just wish I knew where she was now. What she was doing, how she was. If she has changed, or got worse. I just wish I could apologise.

To finish up I'd just like to say...IT'S FREEZING COLD TODAY! I slept with my jumper on last night. Dont get it! Its' sunny outside and it's not even Winter yet! *pouts* My poor puppy is in her jumper too.

Feel the Pain, LOVE the Pain!!!

Hi y'all

Coco here. (Coco being my new nickname at Uni...sweet!) So ultra excited at the moment but feeling like a pile of GOO!
Chrystal introduced me to a Gym in Beenleigh and we had our first sesh tonight. We were there from 8 - 9pm with our personal trainer guy hovering over us and making sure we hurt in places I didnt even realise I had! Ahhhh! Seriously! My shoulderblades are gunna CAIN tomorrow! We're hoping to go at least 3 times a week, and it's only $20 for a fortnight...which is all well and dandy if you have $$$$ coming in...which I sadly do not. Makes it a bit hard, not just on me but my poor mother as well. I made a promise that by the time she comes back to QLD I will have a job...even if it's shizz! So...Gym4 is awesome! We start with the bikes for 5 minutes, then we do the rounds with the weights, then we stop and do some weird sit/push ups (WHICH KILL BTW...proud of myself...I will conquer this mountain!), then we finish with (my personal favourite) the rowing machine *drools*

As for Hot blokes, I have spied a few but I tell ya there's some comic book characters floating around the gym as well. There are a few guys that look like they have tiny heads and MACHO arms...kinda like that part in Disney's HERCULES when Herc says "I'm an Action Figure" and squeezes the doll! It's hilarious! I cant believe those guys think they look attractive...they just look bloody hilarious to me! It's hard to keep from laughing. I suppose they're gym-junkies. But Chrystal and I are gunna have to live up to that rep for the first few months at least and go to the gym as much as possible. My goal is this: I wanna be chissled and toned, and I wanna be able to run a distance without having to resort to my Puffer! I really wanna get my lungs up to scratch cos I am sick of every time I get a cold it is quickly followed by Bronchitis or some sort of respitory tract infection! No more of that, I tell ya!

So...What else has been happening in the life of Kire...not much I'm afraid. I'd sucked myself up for my Fluvax yesterday and didnt cry (new improvement) but my arm still hurts like Hell *sniff* And I'm on holidays from Uni at the moment, which is all good but I have been mega bored except when I'm with Chrystal. Hopefully this gym thing will take up enough of my life that I wont be bored anymore.

Was drawing and story planning all day today and did a semi-nice picture. Been wanting to write my story about winged children for a while but I have a slight complication. I want to make it so that when people pick it up off the shelf they'll go "Awesome! this sounds like Maximum Ride!" but then not be thinking "oh, she just copied this from Max R." So...gotta think of a way to make it original but I like the idea of scientists mucking around with human DNA to create a whole different thing altogether. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

Anyway...Better get back to doing my assignment, then I'll be going to bed. Despite what the time on the website says it is actually 10:15pm at the moment.

Laterz!

ICT...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sitting in my ICT class at the moment and dreaming about happier times...i.e. a time about an hour ago before I was in class. All's well and good, I mean, Wayne is funny and all and I get to spend some time with my ICT pals, but the only draw back is that my ICT partner has not turned up today so I cant get any work done. Sucked in...totally. Don't get me wrong I AM listening to the discussions...I am a girl, and as such can multi-task:)

Going to the Hickson's for dinner tonight cos it's Mum and Didi's last day *cries*. Probably only hang around for a little while cos I'll probably start sneezing after 1 minute of walking through their door. The only good thing about Mum and Didi leaving is that my office will be junk-free...small consolation I assure you. I'm gunna really miss my mummy:'( It's is soooo hard being over here in this Hellhole without my parent's support. Despite that Mum and I get into catfights every other day. We almost made 5 days without any hissy fits!!! Totally amazing! Mum broke the record today...keep trying mum, just BREATHE and grit your teeth at my 20year-oldness

Alright...Better get back to work...SAVE ME!!!!!

Kire

My office is Over-run by parents!!!

Hey people... Well, it is now 3 days since Mum and Dieter arrived for their 5 day stay and as much as I'll miss the hell outta them I'll be glad when I get my office back to its former glory. AKA, messy and MINE. Haven't really done much since they arrived. Just had loads of BBQ's and bummed around inside. The weather has been fairly shitty so I have refrained from going outside. It's not raining but it's soooo dreary...I slept in till 10am this morning and totally missed out on my hot bacon and eggs:( Poor me. I haven't found a lot of time to study either. Although that's kind of a blessing seeing as I wanna spend all this time with mummy. I am trying to story plan at the moment. I have so many ideas for a supernatural story but I dont want it to sound too much like anything else. It's aggrivating. Like, I wanna name my were 'Jacob' but Twilight has killed what's left of my respect for that name. And I LOVE the name Alcide (means strong man) but again, it's already taken for a were. *Sigh*...why do I have to be an aspiring author...it does nothing but give me a headache and never goes anywhere. And it's hard cos any time they have a werewolf story it's always in europe or america...why would a werewolf be in Aust? I like the aussie myths about the Lithgow panthers and such, so maybe have a ailuranthrope (werecat) instead. *sigh* nope...I keep going on and I'll definitely give myself a headache. I am so bored. Chrystal is out camping so I have no one to hang with. BUT I have aquired a new nickname at UNI. My tutorer in my 1013 class calls me Coco or Cocos. And now everyone else is calling me that:) Fine by me. Kire

Mushroom chairs and Madness

Hi people!

Very excited today cos I got my brand, spanking new BLUE mushroom chair!!! WOOHOO! Sadly Aminta's already claimed it as her own. AND...I'm giving myself a headache trying to figure out where to put it...my bedroom is only so big. So...I may have to change things around in there. But truth is, I really like my bedroom set up. And I like where my altar is and I dont wanna move it. Sucks how I have to have such a GIGANTIC closet. I'm one of those girls who dont need closet space and I have a whole wall of it. There's so many other things I'd like to do with that wall ( i.e. put my bed up that end) but NO....May have to wrestle with mum and ask her to get rid of it...dunno if that's possible. AND I want a plasma screen in my room, but if it's mounted on the wall i'd have no problem with it.

Anyway...just many musings.

I watched Alice in Wonderland for the first time last night. Was it just me or was Tim Burton implying some romance between Alice and The Hatter???? If so *shudder* Not that you couldnt fall in love with Johnny Depp. He's awesome! After watching the movie Chrystal and I had a good yarn. I like our friendship...our conversations often get VERY deep...it's nice. And each time we talk I think we learn something new about each other.

Took some awesome photo's yesterday. The one of Mia the possessed cat, some ones of Aminta and myself and loads of piccies of cool cloud formations. I got some good shots I think. Love the one of Aminta and me. She looks like she's going: "ookkaayyy....scary person with camera, get it away from me!"

Alrighty...assignment time *arrgh*

Gargoyles and other randomness

Hey Buddies

Alright, I'm probably gunna babble on and on and on for like ages, mainly cos I really have nothing so say but if I type for long enough maybe the words will flow down through my fingers and onto the kayboard by themselves.

I was a good girl for the better part of the day. Spent 4 hours doing my assignment and got half of it done. You would not believe how fast the time went by. It LITERALLY flew! I started my assignment at about 11am and by the time I looked at the clock again it was already 2:30! I was like "okay...break time, take the dog for a walk..." Whilst in the park I met up with Amy and her lovely puppy, Honey. We talked about loads of stuff, none of which I can mention on live feed but needless to say it was deep girly stuff! Then I came home and watched a couple of episodes of MEDIUM (wish I was Allison DuBois!) and pigged out on S&V chips and maltesers! YUMM!!

Mum and Didi are now currently on Fraser Island doing fun stuff while I'm stuck in boring QLD where the weather wont make up its mind. Seriously. One day is FREEZING cold and the next day its BOILING hot! No wonder my sinus is playing up! Sheesh!

I am TOTALLY obsessed with this old show GARGOYLES! It's an old show but new to me. My friend Chrystal got me into it and I'm glad she did. I dont wanna finish the DVD cos they havent made the 2nd and 3rd season into a DVD! Its totally not fair! I want more Goliathness!!! *Drools* Soooooo hot for a stone monster! And totally chivalrous. Why cant guys live up to those standards. But I shouldnt really be surprised...Gargoyles was created by Disney. What's the saying???....I blame Disney for my problem in finding a guy. Or something like that. Me, like most girls these days, wants a prince to come along on his white steed and whisk me off into my Happily ever after...although I know it's never going to happen. But there's no harm in wishing, is there? Although I'm over guys right now...ARGH! Blur cases the lot of them!

I'm very excited, I should mention. I went to Soul Connection the other day for the Hell of it and walked out with 2 babysitting jobs. So, excited Me who doesnt have a job:S BUT, but but but! Thats not the best of it. One of the psychics there overheard me say I want to work with animals so she is willing to train me FOR FREE how to look after her horses!!! O.M.G! She said she'll teach me to saddle them, groom them, but also how to treat minor injuries and such. SO EXCITED! She's moving house so she said she'd give me a call in about 2 weeks! WOOHOO!

And, on the last happy note i (L) my Venus Fly Trap. It's soooo cool. But it's kinda gross that the fly it caught yesterday and that is stuck halfway in its jaws is STILL ALIVE!!! ARRGH! But it's very interesting to watch. The picture shows said fly and awesome Fly Trap. How cool is it that a plant, which is a type of flora, eats like a fauna. Maybe thats just the nerd in me.

Alright. Bye peoples

Gardening and other such boring stuff

Hey Y'all

Today was just about as boring as the last. Took Nan to Mitre10 for some shopping and came our with like 15 plants. One of which is a Passionfruit vine we hope to put in the corner of the garden. But after being viciously attacked by that wolf spider yesterday I'm a tad reluctant to venture back in to it's domain. But I've planted the plants I wanted in MY garden. I have laid claim to the garden in front of my room. It is now officially mine:)

Aminta keeps giving me mournful looks. Have no idea why. She looks like I'm about to hit her or something. strange. Probably looking at me like that cos she wasnt allowed to help with the gardening. I think, and Mum would agree, that Ami's done enough gardening to last her a life time.

Gotta attack my assignment for my Drama class today. *ARRGH* Soooo dont want to, but I have to have it done by Thursday and I'm kinda running out of time, although this assignment looks fairly easy. Only 1500 words so I'm sweet. I told myself as long as I get the draft done over the weekend I'll then have 4 days to fix it all up and make it pretty. Well, that's what I keep telling myself at least. My assignments is about how to use Communication in the classroom to help promote the self-esteem and self-concept of the children. I'm fairly passionate about children having strong self-esteem (since mine was squashed by many unscrupulous characters when I was little), so I want my future class to be confident and whatnot to make up for my lack of... BTW, the Body language piccie, if you haven't read that book, read it. It's VERY interesting! You feel like a spy or something afterwards...or maybe thats just me...:S

(This is awesome. My blog post automatically saves like every minute! How sweet is that? Well...I find it interesting)

Anyway...Gotta take Nan shopping. Cyaz

P.S. MUM AND DIDI ARE COMING IN 6 DAYS!!! YAY - - - Bring on the catfights!!!

The "RAT"

I couldn't help but adding another blog post just to show the sheer idocy of this picture! This is Aminta this time last week just after her haircut...she looks like a dumb rat!

HAHAHA!

Okay...over it now...This was also a way to practise uploading photos, although I'm well aware that I need to practise shrinking the images.

By the way...you have to watch this Youtube Video...watched it last week at Uni...WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE AS BORED AS I AM NOW:

Day in the life of Moi

I am *so* not with it today. All I wanna do is go back to bed with a mug of hot chocolate with loads of soggy marshmallows. But alas, fate, or moreso my Uni assignments, prevent me from doing this. It is one of those rainy cold days where all you wanna do is curl up on the couch and watch bad daytime TV...*shudder* yeah, I'm not that desperate. My only consolation is that I am putting up with this boredom with my best friend and protector, Aminta-Rose. In case no one knows, Aminta is my 2 year old Groodle "puppy." She just got a new hair cut last week and she looks like a drowned RAT! I'm a mean mummy, aren't I?! I'm currently excited because my Mum and Dieter will be coming over from Cocos for a few days. Probably going to be short-lived cos we get into cat fights pretty quickly. Luckily Didi will be here as the mediator. YOU'RE GAME, MAN! I tried to do some gardening today. If you know me you already know I stay as FAR away from the garden as I can. Who seriously wants to get their gorgeous nails dirty and chipped, I ask you? ANYWAy...here's me, trying to be the good samaritine and get the weeding done before the mother comes and flips at the current state of her garden, and LOW AND BEHOLD, what happens??!! I get accosted by a bloody WOLF SPIDER!! ARRRGHHHH!!!! Geez, I hate spiders. I have to admit that I *did* destroy her home when I uprooted a weed, but still! Let's just say I retreated quickly after that and I am now flatly refusing to go back and finish the job. The latest atrocity, however, comes from the News. I get so livid sometimes watching it. Just heard that 4 kids beat a mother swan to death with rocks! HOW DISGUSTING IS THAT!? I am an environmentalist and this kind of blatant animal cruelty disgusts me to no end. It's sad that the father swan hasnt left the nest since it happened. Poor bloke. I hope those kids rot for what they did! Anyway...now that I've let that all out, I feel much better now. However, my epileptic cat, Mia, is doing my head in! She keeps going into my room and sleeping and grooming herself on my new floor mat...her black fur gets all over it! So now I've turned myself into a security guard for my own bedroom and am constantly on patrol so she doesnt break and enter again. Getting citrinella (or however you spell it) tomorrow to spray around my room, hoping to deter her from it. Right...feeding Dog Time...Catcha laterz
