2月28日 A story about my unco-ness...I would have to say that I am the most un-coordinated person in the world... The universe even....
This morning, i had to go to Garden City for work, to pick up some plastic storage boxes - they were pretty big- i'd say 60 litre ones... and i needed five. So i went to K-Mart and found them, and realised that duh- smacks head - I would need a crane to pick up all five, and carry them to the checkout, and then back to my car.
So i went back out the front to get a shopping trolley to put them into... only the second I pulled it out of the rack, I crushed two of my toes with it. Then I heaved the beast to the aisle, and realised that hey- these things aren't going to fit... so i kinda squished em into a leaning-tower-of-piza-esque structure, with the lids sticking out all over the place. Typically, due to my inhibility to see in front of me as a result of the tower of clearish-white plastic, i ran over my foot again, and crashed the trolley into the wall, and the boxes went EVERYWHERE - who knew plastic boxes bounced? - I sure as hell didn't...
So i recovered from my injury, and kind of wedged the boxes into the trolley, paid for them, and got the hell out of there.
Some time in the 45-minutes i was inside, it absolutely BUCKETED down with water, (and it still was) and I had parked on the top level, in the shaded, but not covered area - about 300 metres from the door. So i decided to use a plastic lid as a kind of shield from the rain. BAD IDEA. All that it did was smack me in the face, the entire journey to the car. When i got to the car, I realised that - HEY - with all the shit in my boot, there's no way these giant plastic boxes are going to fit... something that because im such a good planner-aheader i had fully thought about before i went inside and bought them all, when i moved all the crap out of my backseat into the boot fit them on when i first got there, when there wasn't a car parked behind me, and when it wasn't pissing down with rain, and i wasn't holding two cups of coffee... then i remembered that it never happened, and i didn't realise that the entire backseat of my car was covered in my brothers crap.
So i kind of pushed the boxes into the backseat - remember that it's still pissing down with rain - and in the process, dropped the bottom one on my exposed ran-over-twice with the shopping trolley toe. When i eventually got all my crap into the car, I had raccoon eyes where my mascara had run, and i was dripping wet. I realised JUST as i was about to drive off that the coffee was sitting on the roof of my car. So i reached out the window to grab them, and spilt mine all down my arm. Finally re-organised myself so that i could put my seatbelt on and not scald my legs with two cups of coffee stacked on eachother in my lap, turned on my car, put my windscreen wipers on and pulled out when i realised that it had stopped raining. 2月24日 Things I have said innocently that i have been informed are 'the worst pickup line ever'" I'm sorry, I'm really bad with names "
" Wow - my cat's name is Steve too! - it used to be Chloe and then one day he had a penis"
" I'm not going to remember that, can I just call you Dave? "
" I have fully seen you somewhere before! "
" I don't like foods that are too loud " 2月22日 My adventures of late....On saturday night, i went to Chantel's 21st birthday at the Regatta. I hadn't seen her for ages, and it was the first time she, rhiannon and i had bee together in at least three years. It was really awesome, and we had a fantastic time.
I don't know if i have mentioned/complained about the fuck-upedness of my car right now. It is completely screwed, and so I have to spend like $500 on it in the next two weeks. As a result, I have been saving as much as I can (difficult now cos i get paid fortnightly, and i wasn't counting on this problem), so my social life has been limited somewhat. But i have still had a fantastic time with barely any money.... something i never really thought i could do.
Last weekend though, we had an unbelievable night on Saturday. I went into the Valley with Laura and Josh and Renee, and we went to R.G, Birdees and a couple of other places. We had a really good time, and met some awesome (and quite hot) american dudes over on holdiays.
And the weekend before that, I went to the Valley (AGAIN) with Josie! Who is finally allowed to go clubbing for real - we can take her in the front door now, instead of smuggling her in through the restraunt! And I met her boyfriend! YAY ME! Then afterwards, I met up with Neil, Kristan and Nicole (who drove my car in so i could drink- isn't he a good boy?!) and we ended up screwing around <Editor's Note: Screwing as in just mucking around, not in the literal sense... i understand how that could be mis-interpreted, particularly seeing as it's neil and he really is capable of anything...> in the carpark, and at Southbank until like 7:30 in the morning, when I was so very unbelievably sick that it was unbelievable. It was like, WORSE than a hangover, because I hadn't slept in over 24-hours, and even then it was only for like five hours. Although, the time at the beach on Sunday morning, was one of the funniest experiences I have ever had. - My favourite bit was when Nicole said 'have you noticed that it's gradually getting lighter?' and Neil replied 'Uh, yeah.... turn around....you see that big thing in the sky... the sun? - it's coming up... that's what happens in morning.... you know, the difference between night and day?'
And that's basically a catch-up on my adventures. I have been trying to limit the dumb-blondedness of my life as of late, so i have less interesting stories, but hopefully soon (when im not so damn broke and my car is my favourite thing agin), i will be able to give a bit more....
Actually, this weekend should be good. Im going down to Nay's (for the first time in weeks) and staying over on friday, then on Saturday night, it's Tristan's 21st and Josh's Birthday, and i am going to make appearances at both - although i will probably end up at Josh's because it's cheaper to get home - hey, im poor - and then Sunday, (technically tomorrow) is my itsy-bitsy cousin Aimee's first birthday! 2月15日 What's the day again?My god, I am going insane. I've decided. You have NO IDEA - for the last three days, i have forgotten what day it is- in a sense that i thought today was thursday ALL day. To the extent that on the four letters that I personally wrote today are dated 16/2/06.
Not to mention the fact that 1) I get paid fortnightly on fridays, and friday is my pay-day, so there is one extra day where i am completely broke 2) I went to my nail appointment that is tomorrow night this afternoon, and waited thinking i had been double-booked for 15 minutes before we realised that my appointment wasn't until THURSDAY!
It's ironic, because i checked my appointment card when i got there and SWORE that it said today's date. Which considering i had written the 16th on everything today in my mind it was correct...
I guess this is my way of pretending that Valantines day didn't happen! DENIAL IS THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS! Not that it's a problem- just that every year (including the ones i have been in relationships! so im not a cynical younger version of my mother!) i have thought Valantines day is a crock.
On a more exciting note; I sold my first heat pump today - Not that that means anything to ANYONE that doesn't work with me, but it is a big sale (about $16 000) and I did it ALL BY MYSELF! I'm stoked! It's about what I earn in a year.... JUST KIDDING!
But still, I have been feeling pretty crappy at work lately - I feel like everyone wants to blame me for everything going wrong, and whenever I make a mistake it feels like EVERYONE points it out and talks about it, and pretty much just makes me feel like crap, but if anyone else makes a mistake it's not a big deal. That is a slight exaggeration, but that's how I feel. I am trying to get so much stuff done at the moment that my boss is saying is a 'priority' in addition to doing all my other jobs, and answering two phone lines and client enquiries that my work is slipping a bit. It doesn't help that my computer keeps freezing, and one of the phone lines is completely stuffed. And I KNOW that i'm going to get in trouble soon for falling behind in my work this week, even though i know for a fact that i have spent at least 8 hours on that big priority project....
But ohwell! The whole point of that gigantic paragraph was to say that that sale today made my week so much happier!  For at least an hour i forgot about the fuckupedness of my car!2月8日 Aimee
I am learing how to use flickr and html a little bit at the moment, so if this stuffs up, there's no way in hell I will be able to fix it. This is a picture of my lil cousin aimee who turns one in a week! It's exciting, and it makes me realise just how damn fast a year goes!
Either way, I think she is adorable! Nothing really interestingIt’s so weird! I used to always have heaps of fun adventures and stupid things happen to me to share with everyone, but lately, they are becoming fewer and far between. I’ve got nothing fun! Maybe I am maturing (ha!).
Seriously though, in the last few weeks, it’s like I’ve taken a look at my life and realised that it’s not what I thought it would be by this time in my life, and it’s definitely not what I want it to be. In saying that, I’m not at all UNHAPPY, it’s more I don’t feel as though I have lived up to my own expectations of myself. And I don’t really have high expectations of anyone. All around me, things and people are changing. My friends are changing and doing all these fun and interesting things, and I seem to be stuck in a bit of a rut.
One of the decisions I have made is to study… something… as demonstrated the other night, I don’t think I would be the greatest nurse in the world. To add to the longwinded list of things that could only happen to me, a couple of weeks ago, I went out with Jose’, Nay & Caroline for Jose’s birthday. I drove her in my car back to nays, and when she told me she was going to be sick, I was all ‘I can deal with this’. Turns out, I took one look at her being sick, and threw up all over the place. I don’t think many places are looking into that for prospective nurses.
So at the moment I am looking into something like a bachelor of arts with a major in psychology or something like that… at this stage, at least arts. I am going to start off part-time because at this stage, I can barely commit to what I am going to do next week, let alone commit to studying full-time for three years. So, I will go the part-time way to get myself into it, and if I really think it is something I can seriously do, I might consider going full-time, but at this stage, I am liking the working full time (well, the full-time wage part!). Also, I figure, even if it takes 6 years, I will still be a 26, and have a degree in SOMETHING, which I guess is a good thing?!
