3月27日 Dear DiaryDear evil e-Bay whore,
Bravo you win! You are an evil cow and I hate you. I was winning! and I love to win, and then you had to evilly swoop in there with 12 TWELVE seconds to go, and by the time i refreshed my browser you won, after not even bidding for like two hours. I hate you, and you should burn in bargain hell. This is quite a hypocrytical thing for me to say, considering I have done the same thing on several occasions, however, it's not the point because you did it to me, and I hope that your dvd was pirated from some off-shore pirate ship company that makes pirated dvd's which means that rather than getting an awesome bargain, you got ripped. Have a nice day.
Dear Washing Machine,
Why you like to make my life a living hell, I have no idea. I very much appreciate that you decided to break yesterday afternoon when I was finally getting around to doing my washing, and subsequently I needed to drive to my nan's and my grandma's house so that i could get 3 loads done before it got dark at 3:00 on Sunday afternoon. Now my clothes have a taste for being washed in a machine that takes less than like an hour and actually 'spin dries' to the point that clothes do not drip - all in 20 minutes. I want to marry my nan's washing machine. It is one of those amazing inventions that is not just a washing machine-but a dryer as well. (Not that she'd actually USE it or anything, but the added convenience is awesome). I could do an entire load of washing - Evil washing too - like towels or sheets, and not only not have to go out in the evil sun to peg them, but also have them all dry and fabric-softnery goodness-smelling in less than an hour. That's pure genius. I love you nana's washing machine. Burn in washing machine hell, my washing machine.
Dear my back,
Ouch - I get it... stop hurting already.
Dear people who are currently shitting me,
Get over it. I don't care. Please don't talk about it anymore. I can't be bothered, and I am not listening and I really really couldn't care any less if I tried.
Dear my crazy self,
You are a hypocrite, and also on the verge of being nuts. You are talking about yourself in third person, and speaking to inanimate objects as though they are people. Get over yourself and stop complaining and shut up already.
WORD. 3月25日 The times are a-changin!So - like two weeks until the merriment of commencement commences. I don't really know what that means exactly, but they said it at the end of the first 'Grease' movie and I am guessing it has something to do with graduating and moving on. My lil boys Mat and Neil are all grown up and... Moving to Mackay with their parents... maybe all grown up wasn't the best description, but still... Which should be highly extremely weird for me, considering I don't think i have gone much longer than two weeks without seeing those boys in the last... six..seven? years. Suddenly, i'm going to have a hell of a lot more free time... well, not really, considering i see them on average of like ten minutes a time, but still, there's something i won't be able to do!
In other times-a-changingly news, as of Tuesday, I will have a new mobile, and a new mobile number, Another weird thing, considering I have had the same number for five years. My phone is fucked in the arial part, and has really bad reception like ALL the time, so I rang optus to change to a plan and get a new phone, to find out that because the number is in dad's name, I can't change it over to mine without getting him to go sign a whole bunch of forms, and who can really be bothered doing that. Plus, it is probably a good thing - when i went thorugh my phone the other day, of the 257 people in it, i know and can recall probably only 100 of them. I kept going 'who the hell is Dave and why do i have his number?...' not suprising really, considering that when we went through our 'Dave' stage (i say it like we wouldn't do it still!) we ended up with the number of every legitimate dave we met, which made it very confusing to figure out which is which! So my new phone will be a Samsung D600 - which i fell in love with frank's D500 when he was over from england last year, and this is the newer version of it... something that i honestly believe i may actually update my 'favourite things' list to include (which i havn't done since like, forever). Not that anyone in the world would care, but there is a really cool ad on the samsung website.
In other slightly relevant new news, I have a different colour brown hair!
(that one was for you chickie!)
And, I bought a mp3 player that is supremely awesome on ebay, and i love it, and it's another of my favourite things! I wanted an ipod, but i also want $400, so until i feel like blowing it, i'm just gonna stick to my $32 mp3 player in all it's ebay-ey goodness, with flashy lights, AND lyrics imput?! (which by the way can be bought for $110!) and keep my $400, and see how it goes. THUS, my love/addiction to ebay has been restored! This time though, i think i wanna learn how to sell things on ebay, but who'd want my old crap?!
Also, my new hobby is swimming. Lets see how much my arms cane tomorrow, and i'll let you know if that's a permanent thing. 3月22日 Mythological Creatures?! and an OC updateHrm, Chickie always seems to have these little quizzy things on her website, so yet again, I have copied her (hehe) for lack of better content. Thanks Chickie!
My life is quite boring at the moment. Although, my OC obsession has died down to a more respectable LIKE of the show. Bound to happen sooner or later. Sooner is probably better before I become completely brainwashed, admittedly, my OC obsession was bordering on an OCD type situation. Although, from watching the show, I remembered just how much I love toasted bagels with cream cheese, something I havn't eaten in a good five years. Other than that - I'm cool. I have resisted the urge to get the last two episodes of the second season from the video shop for the time being, and I am going to buy the American version next time I get paid from e-bay because it has an extra disk, and i have just learned how to overrride the region on my dvd player! Yay Me!
And now what you have all been waiting for: The answer to the age-old question:
'What mythological creature am I ?'
AN ANGEL - OBVIOUSLY! All I can say to that is at least I am not a morbid one, nor am I an angle... (There was a lil something special for my high school friends- I'm not actually a freak, there is a point to that last weird sentence)
What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!) created with QuizFarm.com AWESOME! 3月16日 Why I am a loser - Volume one millionI have recently (as in in the past 10 days) developed an all-consuming love for The OC. I can't explain it. For some reason, I find it enthralling (if that's a word - i can't be bothered checking at the moment), and interesting, and I love it and it is my favourite.
I rented season one from the video shop, and after watching the first 8 episodes, I loved it, and to my complete horror, discovered that Blockbuster at Calamvale only has the first two dvd cases- out of three... and it was difficult to figure out WHY oh WHY the people at the video shop hate me (being the outstanding fine-less member that i am) by fueling my innocent curiosity, and turning it into a full blown addiction. AND THEN having the nerve to not have the other disks!
It's really really not a good thing - I was sooooo against everything about the OC from the beginning - I refused to conform to society and my friend's and watch it, because it was crap and a load of garbage, and CSI was way better... that and the fact that my boyfriend when it started began hanging out with this girl who looked exactly like that one who plays Marissa, and instead of being a good boyfriend and watching CSI with me, he started watching the OC with her when they were both on on tuesday nights, but telling me that he was watching CSI at home.... Read into that last explaination as much as possible - it's ment to sound the way it does.
So now that CSI isn't on Tuesday nights anymore, and being the loser that i am I have nothing else to do, I decided that I have had enough time to bring myself to watch it. Being that it's the thrid season and all, i thought sufficient time had passed that i didn't want to punch the chick on tv anymore, oh, what a coincidence, and that other chick who slept with my boyfriend! I decided to watch it!
And that is why I am a loser. Now I must go and watch more OC. That old man is going to propose to Marissa's mum, who slept with her ex-boyfriend, and I am DYING to find out what happens next.
Somebody Kill Me.
<Editor's note: I rented the other Disk from a different video shop, who suprisingly I didnt have a fine with! And it was only $1 - my faith in society has been restored!> 3月5日 Making Pumpkin SoupSo anyway- on Saturday, i picked up my car from the mechanic (it's fixed!) - It used to make a weird ticky noise when it was idling, but it doesn't anymore - not that i would actually know what an engine is SUPPOSED to sound like - but it sounds different now, so im assuming it's all better.
On the way back, i stopped off at dad's place to say hi for a bit, and when i was there my nana was making pumpkin soup. I mentioned that i had no idea how to make pumpkin soup, and before I knew it, i was leaving her place with a thinggy of stock cubes, and a recipe to get ingredients. How this happened, i will never know, but i decided that i would spend the feralness that was yesterday making soup! It seemed very grown up and independent of me!
Although, i did mention that i was a bit afraid of my culinary skills - or lack thereof - but i was assured that it was very difficult to stuff up - my nan's exact words were "don't worry, kaye gave me the recipe, and she has made it dozens of times"... Which basically means "it's a piece of piss" in nana-language.
For those of you who don't know - Kaye is my youngest Auntie- she was my age when I was born, and she, me, and Aimee are all 19 years apart - she was always my favorite when I was growing up, even though she lived in Sydney. Long story short, when she was pregnant, she got all clucky, and decided to do sunday lunch. The plan was to make lasagna and steamed veggies... and i think garlic bread? But it didn't turn out very well- the veggies burned, and the lasagna was still hard in places. Basically - very huge disaster, but one of the funniest afternoons ever, and the first time my grandparents met my then-boyfriend Chris, who's mother really did make really good lasagna. - And that pretty much summarises her cooking ability.
So i bought all the ingredients, and started chopping stuff up, until i realised that i didn't know if u were ment to peel the pumpkin or not - i mean, it's soup - it's all about the flavor - who knows if there is some special pumpkiny goodness in the skin? - so two phone calls later - one to my Nan's house to find out that she wasn't home, and then one to my aunty's salon, where she was headed, but wasn't there yet! Panic ensued slightly because i had already started putting them in with their skins on. My Aunty assured me that you chop the skins off. So i did, and went off on my merry little chopping way.
Then i realized that i wasn't sure if you were supposed to mix the stock cubes and boiling water before you tipped it on the other stuff, so i freaked out slightly again, and in my too scaredness to call the salon again, and because my mother had abandoned me for stanthorpe, my Grandma AND Donna weren't home - I rang the Wilsons, and Linda told me to moosh it up first (thank god for OTHER PEOPLE'S MUMS!).
So with two phone calls, and no cuts or housefires, i managed to cook the basic pumpkiny soup base!... After 20 minutes, i realized that we don't actually HAVE a blender. We HAD a blender, and apparently mum took it to school and never bought it back. Perhaps i should have checked before, but i was too keen to start making soup!
In the end, i had a bit of a 'mentos moment' and i managed to pulverize the mixture with a hand-held blendery thing, which wasn't too bad.
It's a shame that i realised that my hatrid for soup still stands, but out of respect for myself, i ate it and didn't DIE!
So last night, we ate soup for dinner! And i am still alive today! The world is good and complete and I can cook another thing! YAY ME! 3月4日 My personal DNA ReportI got the link for this thing from Chickie's website - It's my personal DNA report apparently - based on a series of questions, they judge your personality. It's interesting, but i'm not sure how accurate it is...
Apparently, I am an 'Animated Dreamer' which to me, screams 'drug-addicted hippie' - which I'm not - but, i am willing to keep an open mind on the situation. Actually, i have just re-read the description - My Personal Dna Report - and i have decided that a more accurate description for what it is saying is that i am a superficial person who lives in a la-la land of my own... and that's just the 'dreamer' part of the equation! The 'animated' part to me suggests basically that i am an loud and unserious... I can fully be serious... Seriously! When i need to be - no other time!
I guess I am kinda loud and unserious.. and I do kinda live in lala land... and I can be a tad superficial... maybe it's more accurate than i first anticipated!
