Can you feel it... (8)

Damn it, that ad is catchy.

...So many bloody scarves too.

I can tell that I'll be voting (well, in my mind anyway.. I'm not actually going to spend any money on votes.. 4 votes = 1 bag of Strawberries and Cream, TYVM) for the guy who sings third. "The whooole world's coming together nowww", that guy.

The pale girl with pretty much WHITE HAIR and Ronald McDonald Red lippy freaks me out.

Bespectacled redhead ("all the colours of the world should beee") reminds me of Clay Aiken. The guy who sings after him kind of looks like a tool. lol.

I like the really cute young kid (woah okay, that sounded kind of pedo) but I'm wondering what he sounds like singing a whole song on his own.

"Whoo!" guy amuses me greatly.

O HAI Token Asian! Girl next to him sounds like she's singing "can you feel it in your baaaaallsss". Both make amusing faces. When I sing, I don't think I make weird faces until I play it back or watch myself sing in the mirror. I look like I'm having a hernia.

Anyways, ad is effective and I'm glad no one's caring about that lameass Natalie Gauci anymore.

Looking forward to Aus Idol 08 :D

In support of World Youth Day and Troy Critchley

I didn't actually go to any of the events this week, but what I saw on TV was just lovely... it makes me wish I had participated.

I was disgusted by the anti-Catholic groups though. I'm talking to you, all of you who marched, handed out rubbers and chanted "The Pope is wrong - put a condom on". Sure you don't agree with the Church's views, but it doesn't mean you need to make a mockery of the Catholic faith and deface images of the Pope.

I'm glad that the Pope apologised to the victims of sexual abuse. I hope those lecherous asshole priests burn in hell.

Speaking of assholes! I hate the idiotic people who are calling Troy Critchley a 'murderer'. Charged with multiple counts of homicide over a fucking accident! FUCK, no one told you to stand there. You dumbasses made the choice to stand there with your dumbass kids. You knew there was no barrier. And it was a charity event, for fuck's sake. Do you really think Troy's intention was to kill you all? FUCKING HELL. I think I'm pretty stupid, but some people just fucking amaze me.

This week I was...

• not bothered to go out. I believe I have spent less than an hour outside.
• amused that on Getaway, Natalie Gruzlewski picked up a knock-off Coach bag and said "Prada".
• gagging while watching Eat To Save Your Life. Gunther von Hagens is amazing though.
• slowly reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Honestly, it's not as 'unputdownable' as I thought it'd be.
• grossed out by Two and a Half Men. It's not funny and I shudder at all the blatant sexual references. It's fucking 7pm. Little kids are still awake. Axe that shit.
• appalled that Numbers is still on. WTF.
• pleased to see that Michael C. Hall earned an Emmy nomination. He deserves to win. I don't love James Spader anymore.
• wondering what to do with my tax refund. I've now decided I shall get my teeth whitened.
• opening and closing my fridge and cupboards, expecting food to magically appear. lol.
  

It's been more than a year since I got my learner's licence, and I've only just decided to take up driving lessons. So my goal today is to get as many quotes as possible.

It's not so much that I'm lazy. I just keep forgetting. And I'm damn scared. Petrified, even. To have the responsibility, to be in control of a big lug of metal that could injure or kill someone. Aaaah! So yes, once I start driving, stay off the footpath.

I wii fitted for the first time in about a week today. My trainer got a haircut and new fringe.. I thought that was cute. I completed a good, much needed crocodile twist. I could really hear the cracks. I also clocked up 10 hours of activity! My piggy bank turned gold, and I was so proud. :D

I have decided that I want a Macbook Pro. The laptop I have now still works (bar the battery issues), but whatever. MBP is my new dream. My $2500 dream.

Trying to be a bookworm again.

What? Pleasure: An Almanac For The Heart, by Nikki Gemmell
When? Almost two weeks ago
Where? QBD Bookshop, Parramatta
Price? Was $25, bought it for $8
Why? There aren't many $8 books these days. To think, I was soooo close to buying this full price a couple of months ago, when I didn't even have time to read.

*evil laugh*

What? Princess Highway Devil hoodie
When? Two weeks ago
Where? Myer, Parramatta
Price? Was $60, bought for $40
Why? You can never have too many hoodies.

Yeah I know it needs an iron. Shut up.

What? Review dress
When? Must have been more than a month ago
Where? Myer, Macquarie Centre
Price? I'm sure it was originally $179, and I bought it for $19
Why? It's a size 6, which I can neeeever find. And who can just put a $19 (90% off) dress back on the rack?

Target has become so much nicer.

What? Zac Posen pleated skirt
When? Last week
Where? Target, Parramatta
Price? Originally $129.99, reduced to $59.99, bought for $45
Why? I needed a black skirt. And I dunno, the Zac Posen thing probably had something to do with it too.

I must have the smallest 20-year old feet.

What? Two pairs of Fiorucci flats
When? Last week
Where? Myer, Parramatta
Price? $19 each, originally $29.95
Why? Myer Mid-year stocktake sale

9 pairs of earrings, but only 2 ears

What? 9 pairs of heart-shaped earrings
When? Last week
Where? Diva, Parramatta
Price? Originally $9.95, reduced to $5, bought for $3
Why? Diva 'Nothing Over $5' sale

Wooooooo.

My holidays have been great so far. I really wish I was still able to wake up early though. I hate when the alarm goes off and I know I don't really have to get up, so I just snooze for an hour.

Now that I have time, I've been playing wii fit a bit more. When I turned the wii on on Monday, it told me that I hadn't played for 12 days. Yikes. I want my flat stomach back. Apparently it's best to eat lots for breakfast, a bit less for lunch and then just a bit for dinner. I am so not used to that. My breakfast is usually tiny and I stuff myself at dinnertime. Oh well, I'll see how I go.

I saw a girl wearing leggings and Havaianas today. Not footless leggings either, the ones that stretch and grip underneath the heel so they don't ride up. WTF is wrong with you. I feel like lending you some pants and flats. It's fucking cold, you idiot. This isn't the first time you've done it either. I've seen you before, don't think I didn't notice.

My fringe needs a trim, but I'm wondering whether or not I should get a haircut. I don't want to risk accentuating my fat face, but then long hair is so unmanageable. And hair does grow back. Hmmm.

Can't wait for payday tomorrow. $250 a fortnight isn't that much, but it's enough to buy a bag, a top, a jacket or set of earrings. Or all four, if you know where to go.

Aaah! That reminds me. I haven't posted my recent Good Buys. Okay, I'll do that now.

Quote of The Day

"Aw yer, I want some boots too. I want well-made ones but. I don't want ones that are made in Choyyyna. [friend points out her boots were only $80 or something] Are they made in Choyyyna? Yeah I bet they're made in Choyyyna."

-Yobbo-sounding yet normal-looking girl in the library

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH.

Exam day is over. It's a wonderful feeling, but I'm not really used to it. I mean, it's so weird to not have anything to worry about. It's weird to know that my semester grades are now out of my hands, there's nothing more I can do.

I was so worried my stomach would grumble during the exam (as it usually does in quiet rooms) but it behaved. For my anthropology exam, we were told to answer five out of the fifteen questions on the sheet, and THANK GOD the five topics I did study were there.

Aaaaah. So yes, here I am, not quite sure what to do now. I'm saying "this is great, glad it's over, next time I'm going to study more so I'm prepared and not freaking out like this again"... but I think we all know how I'll end up. ;)

Reasons I must pass my exams tomorrow

1. To not disappoint my parents. This is, after all, my second attempt at uni and I'd better not mess it up.
2. To not waste money. These books are around $50 each and I'm planning to sell them in good condition, not use them again because I failed.
3. To not waste time. I already hated Anthro and Linguistics the first time, I don't want to have to do them again.
4. If I redo the units, I'll have to graduate a bit later. (Heh, if I even get there.)
   
5. I'm sure it's going to screw my GPA somehow.
6. I already went through how many hours of lectures and tutes. I don't want that to all go to waste when I could have been doing other things (read: shopping or sleeping) instead.

Shit. Okay. I'm going to go study now.

Oh the flaaame treeees will bliiiind the weeeary driver (8)

I finally handed in my bastard 2000word Cultural Studies essay today. Ahhh. Now all I have to do is study for Anthro and Linguistics. It will be FUN.

I renewed my travel concession card, because the one I had was due to expire at the end of the month. After I signed the form and handed it to the bitch at the counter, she handed my card back and all she said was "that's it". Fuck you, cunt. Take some customer service classes. You are not better than me. Everyone else who works at uni is lovely and well-mannered.

...and just my opinion, but the worst kind of people are those who are ugly and bitchy. Seriously, you have nothing going for you. I understand people who are bitchy yet good-looking, but if you are FUG you are not helping yourself by being so damn snooty. If you are ugly but pleasant, then at least people can say "oh well, at least s/he's got a nice personality". So lighten the fuck up.

Had an argument with Mike today. He doesn't understand that just because I walk into a shop and spend a couple of minutes in it, it doesn't mean I have to buy anything. And just because I pick something up from the shelf or table, it doesn't mean I'm obligated to buy it either- I have the right to put it back down and keep looking. Bloody MEN.

I'm going bowling on Saturday night with some friends and I am so excited. Sure, I'm going to make an ass of myself -because the only kind of bowling I'm good at is on that lovely wii- but who cares. I miss my friends far too much, and I'd rather humiliate myself than skip an opportunity to hang out.

I saw the Sex and The City movie. I've never seen an episode of the series, but I still thought it was okay. One of my favourite parts was when Charlotte shit herself. I was like, 'serves you right for dissing Mexico and eating all those pudding cups'. I still maintain my belief that Sarah Jessica Parker's face looks like someone's foot. Bitch is foul. Plus, she snagged Matthew Broderick. Double hate. Loved all the dresses and bags in the movie though. I liked Lilly's cupcake-shaped purse and Carrie's Eiffel Tower one.
