Random Thought #1

I wish that everytime my dad logged onto a computer, it would freeze. This is the bazillionth time we've gone past our bandwidth limit more than a week before the end of the month. You're so unfair, dad. Now it's going to take so long to download all those slides for uni, download those lecture mp3s and watch the videos I want on YouTube. And don't say it's a shared connection and we all used that 10GB equally. You know you watch and download the most. Heck, you probably even download in your sleep.

FUCKING HELL.

Mac. PC. Mac. PC. Mac. PC. WTF mannnnn.

Just when I decided that I'd take advantage of the Apple student discount and get a Macbook, I come across websites that encourage me to go for the Sony VAIO CR35 instead (my runner up). A part of me wants to give the Macbook a go because I keep hearing "it just works! The OS is more stable! iMovie! Photo Booth!", but I want to get another PC because I'm damn lazy and want to stick to what I know. Plus the VAIOs are sexayyy and come in pink.

My needs:
  • Generous hard drive
  • Good battery life
  • Memory card reader (MemoryStick and SD)
  • DVD reader and writer
  • 14" screen is fine
Today was a good day. My linguistics teacher cancelled today's 9am lecture, so I got to sleep in. (She informed us about the cancellation on Tuesday.) Mike and I went to Westfield after my tutorial. Went through our usual routine: buying popcorn chicken snackboxes, walking around discussing things we'd done and people we met during the week, and going to JB Hi-Fi and not buying anything. Mike's new thing is playing with Photo Booth on the 20" Macs. LOL today he found out that when you click the 'X' on a picture, it doesn't delete it- just sends it to the trash. So all those ridiculously hideous warped pictures he took over the past couple of weeks just went in the trash, probably to the amusement of some JB Hi-Fi employee.

I tried a mud mask today. My skin feels nice and clean, not oily at all. I really need to find some new skincare products. Clinique was okay, but I still got spots and my nose was like Blackhead City.

My aunty gave me some American chocolate yesterday- Milky Way, Milky Way Midnight, Snickers, Twix and 3 Musketeers. Funny thing is that Milky Way is just like a Mars Bar, and 3 Musketeers is pretty much Australian Milky Way in a different wrapper.

Man. When will my dad realise that the N word is offensive?

Two good eBay wins that I forgot about



What?
Strapless blue and cream Cooper St dress
When? ...
Where? eBay
Price? Won it for $28
Why? Good bargain, seller looked after it well.. and I needed something to wear to an upcoming Christening. :P



What? Tan-coloured strapless dress (looks white in the pic)
When? Same day as the other dress, whenever it was
Where? eBay
Price? Won it for $13.50
Why? The animals at the end of the dress totally won me over.

No, I will not name this post 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin'". That's lame.


What? BNIB (Brand New In Box) Switch Cowboy Boots
When? Probably a month or two ago
Where? eBay
Price? Seller bought them for $159, I won the auction and paid $78.50 (lol)
Why? Because they're goooorgeous. Good bargain too. The heel is a bitch though. I'll have to wear them to occasions and events that require minimal walking.

ZOMG RED HAIRRRR

The time we should be thinking about Jesus' suffering, but end up eating our weight in chocolate



Wonder what kind of Easter eggs/bunnies I'm getting. I want one of those Kinder bunnies. Mmm.

The Passion of The Christ was on last night and once again, I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole film. Poor Jesus. He made such a big painful sacrifice so I could live, yet here I am being a selfish materialistic glutton idiot. Sorry God. :/

Gumboots!





What? Gumboots :D
When? Two weeks ago
Where? Pumpkin Patch, Westfield Parramatta
Price? I think they were around $35
Why? Because I had been wearing heeled boots that day, and my feet were killing me.

Sucks to be 20

..but if it means celebrating and eating awesome food, then whatever. It's cool.











What? Fettucine carbonara (looks gross but was diviiiine), American (cheese and spicy pepperoni) and The Lot pizzas, and a Chocolate Mud Log
When? My 20th birthday (the 19th)
Where? Quiet dinner at home, fettucine and pizzas from La Porchetta in Blacktown, and cake from Michel's Patisserie

I ♥ Mr Men and Little Miss!





What?
An orange Mr Happy shirt and a blue Little Miss Shy shirt
When? That day I was meant to be at Uni Orientation
Where? SES, Macquarie Centre
Price? Mr Happy was $9.95 and I think Little Miss Shy was $6.95
Why? Because you can never have too many shirts with characters on them.

And while we're on the subject of Mr Men and Little Miss, look what Mike got me for my 20th birthday!

Thursday, March 13, 2008

I'm trying to send a ringtone I made to my phone, but Bigpond MMS is being a fucktard. Grrr.

Speaking of fucktards, I can't believe what a dumbass (Bb. Pilipinas '08 winner) Janina San Miguel is. If Bb. Pilipinas winners are meant to represent Filipina women, we have such a unbelievably poor example this year. I know, I know.. it's mostly a beauty pageant, but my God. Brains should always rank higher than looks. But oh well. If anything, it inspires me to keep learning and focus on my own grey matter.

I can't believe I'm coming to the end of my third week at Macquarie. I've read so much.. but I wonder how much I'm actually taking in. To make the text easier to read, I bit the bullet last night and started highlighting my readers. I was reluctant to highlight because I was planning to sell my books on textbookexchange at the end of the semester.. Guess I'll have to list them as being in 'Good' condition instead of 'Excellent'. Less money back for me..boo.

I'm now 100% familiar with where all my classrooms and lecture theatres are. My Mondays suck because I have 5 hours of classes and no breaks. I have to snack really quickly while I'm walking to the next class. And as everyone who knows me well knows, I like to eat slowly and really enjoy what I'm eating. The burgers from the uni food court are awesome though. I just realised I won't be able to have one tomorrow, because Lent means I can't eat red meat on Fridays.

I can't believe I'll be turning 20 in less than a week. Has it really been a year since my last birthday? lol. I have a feeling I'll keep forgetting about my blasted b-day. I bet someone will send me a birthday text on Wednesday morning, and I'll remember then.

My seriously weird dream from last night..in point form!

  • I was at work, and had to clean Cinema 4 by myself.
  • Just about every seat had a popcorn box on the floor in front of it.
  • I ran around and grabbed as many as I could.
  • The lights went down.
  • The trailers started playing.
  • A bazillion people started coming in.
  • I thought 'fuck it'. And told the customers that there wasn't anything I could do because no one came to help me.
  • A couple of minutes later a manager told me he was in there and said he asked each customer how their experience was. I thought he was going to tell me off, but surprisingly none of the customers complained gave feedback.
  • Then all of a sudden I was no longer at work.
  • Mom was driving a bus and I was the only passenger.
  • She started speeding.
  • The bus almost hit the stationary army green Jeep in front.
  • Mom and I were freaked out.
  • Then I was in a house that was definitely not mine.
  • But I was on the phone.
  • I was talking to a friend I still talk to every now and then, but I'm not so close to anymore.
Man. What the hell is up with my dreams? The night before last night, I dreamt that me and my high school friends were at a boarding school that was right next to the Children's Hospital. Then all of a sudden we were all part of The Biggest Loser and Michelle was talking to me while I was sweatily doing push-ups. She asked me what my friends meant to me, I answered, then she told us that "since the format of the previous series' didn't work", we could choose our own teams. WTF. I'm messed up.

Just a couple of things.

  1. If you have a loud car and drive at double the speed limit, I will not be impressed and will automatically assume you have a small penis.
  2. If you are a male high school student and you disrespect older people, try to fight people for no real reason, walk around town like you fucking own the place and the word 'bro' is in your everyday vocabulary, you deserve to be whipped around the legs until you are swimming in your own blood. It will make up for all those years your parents didn't discipline you. Stop being a dickhead.
  3. Stop fucking asking for comments on your myspace pictures. If people want to comment, they will. So shut the fuck up. It's like you're saying "awww hey I know I look good in this pic, but I just want to hear it from you teeheeheehee!!!!111!!!1!"
  4. OMG this unbelievably lame scabby buttinski girl was on the bus yesterday. I didn't know if she was drunk, stoned or really retarded. "Are you talking about Guitar Hero? They should make violin hero.. trumpet hero..and electric guitar hero.."
  5. Samantha Who? is so not funny. How come this shit is still on, and why aren't Psych and Don't Forget The Lyrics on anymore?! And why does Smallville have to be on Ten HD?! And and and and why can't we have Gossip Girl on free-to-air?!!!

My most favourite princess story EVER

As recited by my Cultural Studies lecturer today..

The Independent Princess

Once upon a time, in a land far away,

A beautiful, independent, self assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said:

"Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.

One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sauteed froglegs seasoned in a white wine and cream sauce she chuckled to herself and thought:

"I don't fucking think so."

And she lived happily ever after.

The end.

Ahhh. My first week of uni is over. While I don't think uni is 'ZOMG so amazingggggg' and I'd want to go everyday, it's still great. The units I've chosen have been so interesting. I actually paid attention to the whole Linguistics lecture yesterday- one whole hour without being distracted!

Textbooks are a pain in the ass to buy though. Since I haven't been getting many shifts at work (and if I do, they're a measly fucking three hours.. so I get about $40 for that), I've had to ask my parents to lend me money. Well, it's not really lending. My mom says that she's my parent, so she doesn't really have a choice if there's something I need, and she's been buying me things for years anyway. I can't wait for tax refund time. Only about four more months... yay!

I got my boots. My sister seems to enjoy walking in them more than I do. The heels are so damn high, I think I'll save them for special occasions. Or events that require minimal walking. They were quite uncomfortable to walk in yesterday, I didn't know if it was because they needed to be broken in or because I'm not used to wearing heels. Oh well. Doesn't matter because now I have... GUMBOOTS! Finally! Well, they're not the kind I was dreaming of (plain black and knee-high), but they'll do. I found them at Pumpkin Patch. lol. They're mid-calf, purple and have blue hearts and blue rainbow-like arcs on them. Size 35. I also wanted a cute pink pair of casual flats, but they were too tight on the left foot and too loose on the right. I know everyone says 'yeah one foot is always bigger than the other' but mine are seriously two different sizes.

I saw Meet The Spartans yesterday. It was as shitty as I expected it to be. The only part I really liked was the American Idol parody. With Sanjaya and the crying pigtailed girl. LOL. And Ryan Seacrest voluntarily jumping into the pit of death. ("Seacrest ooouuuuuuutttt!")

A girl I went to primary school with has sent me a friend request on facebook. I'm thinking 'Hello?! What's wrong with you? We were never really friends, why would I want to add you?' This is the girl that got mad at me in year 3 because I wrote using two lines, while she only wrote on one. Seriously.

Got home at about 1am this morning. Last night, I went to a family friend's birthday party. He was introducing my dad to one of his friends, and when he got to me, he forgot my name. Wanker.

Anyways! I'm going to go eat because it's 12:30 and I didn't have breakfast.
