Baby On Board

2006-07-19T16:05:00.000+10:00

Ok this might be a shit post but in my sleepy state this morning I felt compelled to write it. As I was driving to work at 8:30, I stopped behind a little car that was displaying a Baby On Board sign:

So as I was ~~anxiously~~ calmly waiting for the lights to change I focused on this sign. I see them everywhere, everyday and I'm sure you do to. But what does your mind think when you read it? Sure there's the obvious that there's a baby on board (or is there really?) Does it affect your driving habits, like slowing down or being more cautious of so called person with the sign. What exactly is the point of it? "Hey everyone! See this sign? See this sign here? Right here? Yeah, I gots a baby in my car, so, um, uh, um....yeah"

There's the copy-cat versions of these signs like Babe On Board, Mum's Taxi, Honk If Your Horny, Blonde On Board, even personalised Dog On Board ones. So these ones are more funnier than the Baby one, which seems to have no point if it's meant to make us more cautious, as Jeremy who wrote an article in below link quotes:

"If I have to drive with care, it would stand to reason that these people – the ones with the “Baby on Board” – should exercise caution when driving too. Instead, they seem to be the roadway renegade that can fly down the street and swerve in front of others without paying attention to their precious cargo “on board.”

http://www.canadiancontent.net/commtr/article_813.html

Another point to make is the fine print on the sign. It says 'Safety 1st puts children 1st.' How is it putting children 1st when this sign is potentially dangerous? Can you imagine this sign falling down on top of your baby and they start chewing it or is pokes it in the eye, or cuts it if the car happens to stop suddenly? Or maybe the suction fails and it goes flying. Doesn't seem safe now does it, specially when its a pointless sign! About half the people who have them don't even have a kid in the car at the time and are driving around recklessly.

Just because they have that sign in the back of their car doesn't really give them the right to drive like a snail, when everyone is rushing to get to work. Specially if they aren't paying attention to road rules or don't know how to change lanes while driving in front of me, stopping about 50 times, while not using their mirrors, while a truck is right there, in peak hour traffic.

I say get rid of the stupid signs, they're probably blocking your view anyway. They're annoying and distracting to other drivers, and hey, we're not going to change our driving habits, specially when we're trying to get to work and you probably don't even have a baby in the back seat!

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
Wear Sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…
I will dispense this advice, now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself, and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….
You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Don’t waste your time on jealousy;
sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind; the race is long,
and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives,
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll divorce at 40,
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…
what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much
or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance,
so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can,
don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,
it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings, their your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get,
the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander,
you too will get old and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young
prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse;
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

What do you think?

I'm having second thoughts about getting a tattoo this week. Not because I'm scared or anything just I was told that if I got a tattoo and then lost weight it could skew the picture. Coz my aim is to lose some weight before my 21st which is in October, and if I was to get a lower back tattoo it could look different by then :-S So whoever reads this blog I'd like your opinion, on whether I should I shouldn't get a tattoo this week or to wait until after my birthday. Much appreciated! :)

New stuff

2006-06-05T14:41:00.000+10:00

I'm getting a tattoo this week! Bram and I have decided to get tattoos together :) I'm getting a lower back one that is gorgeous but I might have a quick look in the shop in case there is something better. I've found a few places but need to find out which one is the cheapest and best. It'll be the first of only a couple :p I'm no tattoo freak!

Went to Adam's last week again by myself, and Steve, Jim and Adam were there, then Bram came later on and so did Andy. I took along my SEGA Mastersystem II haha how old skool is that! Jim went nuts over it! It was so funny. He's like "Do you have Alex Kid?" "Yes" "OMG!!" And then he started talking about the game which reminded me of the game and we felt like such nerds! Haha then Steve piped up saying he never got to play Alex Kid coz his cousin wouldn't let him coz he was too young. So Steve finally got to play! :) Cept coz its so old, its insides are a bit loose and it was fuzzy on tv but we made it work! When Bram and Andy came they got excited over Marble Madness and Double Dragon haha. You gotta love those old games, brings back memories.

I had to work long hours yesterday, from 10-5 ergh! But I had Pese to keep me sane haha We even made our lunch hour the same time so we could have lunch together and bum. It ended up being a pretty easy shift. I usually watch whatever movie is on in Home Ent. The latest being Narnia. You have to guess what's going on though coz I can't hear what they're saying :P I got asked AGAIN if I work at Big W! The woman even checks out what I'm wearing. God there are some dumb ass people in the world.

I've made a decision to go work in the U.K. when I finish my teaching course :) I'll be 25 by then lol it seems so old! But my cousin used to live over there and the apartments are fully furnished so that's a bonus! I've always wanted to live sort of countryside so we'll see how that goes. Don't know how I'll fend with the weather though, I hate the cold! But it'd be cool to have snow on your doorstep :) I'll be able to visit Rich in Ireland and wherever too hehe! I can't wait, it's going to be soo good, specially if I come back with an accent haha and your money doubles when you come back here too! :)

I'm thinking of having a personal trainer again even though I just got a new program written for me. Luke said I should keep training with him and I asked for a discount if I do coz I know Pook, so he said he could do it for $25 a session :p haha So yeah I'll give my program a go first and then prob have 1 or 2 sessions a week, coz boxing was fun! Its such a good cardio work out instead of running, coz it makes you use your upper body and abs, and if you add in kicking it gets your legs working too. He makes me do sprints and squats so its a full body cardio workout! He sounds like he pushes his clients much harder than the other trainers. He's a champ! :)

Anyways gotta go. I should really finish the Wolverine painting for Rich and catch up on some reading. Peace

Luv Keeksy

So yeah...What?

2006-05-20T16:42:00.000+10:00

I've been up to a bit lately this past week. Had netball a couple of weeks ago, playing the freakin top team so we got our asses kicked! But this Tuesday just passed we are in a new merged league of leagues 3 and 4 so its awesome! We were really looking forward to playing, coz we were playing the bottom team of the old league 3, except they didn't fucking show up! Those bastards! So an instant win to us hehe I didn't get to play though (more on that later...) We're gonna be in the finals too haha thanks to those free 6 wins we got! LOL suckers

I lost my gym program! I went to the gym last week and was doing my usual cycling routine and got out my program and left it on the program stand. I went to the leg press and came back to fill out my program and it was gone! Searched for it everywhere! In the end I asked Luke if he could help me. I concluded that someone had taken it or placed it back in the wrong spot somewhere. But because I entered the draw to win a $500 PT package, I got a free 1/2 session so I found out I was doing that with Luke. So that was pretty cool! He's pretty funny and knows Pook and all about the Woopachang clan LOL! He just had his 21st birthday and has an accent sorta I think Pook said it was English though sounds Canadian. Had my first session last friday, it was soo much fun! We went upstairs to the massive room and did boxing, lunges, sprints and high kicks. I was soo wrecked by the end and sooo sore the next day I could hardly walk! I then signed up for 3 PT sessions for $50 which is a massive saving! Had my first session on monday and this time we did upper body, like weights and stuff. Man my arms felt like jelly haha Boy was I fucking sore the next day! I asked to have the session on monday instead of tuesday so i wouldn't be sore or tired for netball, but having it on monday I was still sore on tuesday! I could barely lift my arms above my head so there was little chance I would be able to catch the ball. So yeah probably a good idea I didn't play anyway and our opposition didn't even show up. Had my second session last night. It was awesome this time coz we went upstairs again and I asked if we could play some music so he got his Reanimation Linkin Park cd! Hehe Bram you woulda loved it, specially if you were playing squash you could've heard it! So I was boxing to that and running and doing lunges again. So today I don't feel that sore and I ran faster last night too so its going great! Got one more session left next monday and then I get a new program written by him which will be much better than my old one!

Went to Adam's last monday night which was great fun! Got to catch up with Steve, Adam and Stu. Those boys are hilarious! We drank and watched Song for the Socceroos final, Stripperella, then played SNES cricket and mortal combat and mario kart 64. Had Anna's 21st party last friday night too. That was a fantastic night hehe! Bram was my date :p got Rich to drop us off and first person we see is Jimmy with his bike. He rode all the way to Doyles! He then had nowhere to put his bike so he tried to attach it to a tree but forgot his bike lock code. He then decided to hide it in some bushes! lol it was soo funny for Bram and I to watch! Got inside and Adam was drunk haha from being at Taco Bill's for Nat's birthday earlier that night. Was chatting to Adam and Steve and Jimmy and Bram and a few of the girls. Drank heaps of champagne lol the bartender was really nice! Kinda cute too haha Then Andy rocked up and I was chatting to him. Then Stu and Stew rocked up from the footy. I organised to by a shot for Andy and one for Bram but never got round to it coz I was content with my champagne and champagne sunrises :p and before I knew it, the bar was closed lol The speeches went on for ages! The decorations were cool! And I said soo much shit lol my god haha but fun night! Lots of hugs and fun! We have Mich's on sat which will be fun to dress up for and I have Bram as my date again lol Can't be bothered going out with Stu and Andy that night coz the venue is close to my house and there's free alcohol so we'll go out another night ok guys! Getting a tan tomorrow morning! I love my tans haha specially when its awesome and only $18!! What a bargain! Seeing X-Men 3 tomorrow too with Rich, should be fun :) And then seeing Pirates of the Carribean Gold Class Jam Factory in July with a few friends! I hate the cold and its not even Winter yet! Fark! But its good to rug up and snuggle! :) Can't wait for spring or summer though! Got my cousin's wedding in Sep. Ok enough from me, got work in an hour, I wonder how much stupid shit will happen, gotta love those dumb ass customers. Getting new registers soon lol the touch screen ones oooo :p

My Weekend

2006-05-14T18:32:00.000+10:00

My weekends are enjoyable to say the least. I look forward to them from the very moment Sunday ends. My weekends kinda start on a Thursday morning till midday on a Sunday excluding the 3 hours of work I have on a Thursday night because its just easy and laid back. Anyways Rich and I were sposed to go lawn bowling for Amy's birthday but we couldn't be stuffed, so Rich said he had homework and I had to take Tommy to the vet. In the end I took Rich to the movies to see Scary Movie 4 :p

Saturday was pretty laid back. Made pancakes for Rich and myself which are yummy as! Lazed about and played Mario Kart then skooted off to Southland with Cam to get our Mother's Day presents. We got Mum a magazine that she wanted and series 4 of Absolutely Fabulous on DVD. We were going to get her a bonsai tree but I think I'll go to a garden place for a proper one later on. Then I was taxi for the night and took Cam, Rob, Rory and Hayley to Luke's party in Cheltenham. I then went to Rich's to see how he was feeling coz he caught a bug or something and had some of Jenn's dessert that she made :) Then I went home coz I was buggered and fell asleep. Not long after I received a phone call from Cam at 2am asking to be picked up. I had messaged him saying I had gone to bed and to make his own way home. He then rings back and asks me to leave out his house keys coz he has forgotten his. Bloody hell! So apparently he got a taxi home with Rory at 4am.

This morning was good, cept I hate getting out of bed, specially when I know I have work later. Made Mum breakfast in bed and gave her her gifts including an imported Orchid, that Rob gave me from his neighbour who is a florist, for driving them to the party. Then I trundled off to worksies.

Customers...my god I hate most of them. Half of them have no clue even what store they are in let alone which department. The question most asked is where something is either in cosmetics or elsewhere. Mostly it is right next to them, in front of their face or behind them. Other times it's on the last shelf facing shoes. That's when they get lost and come running back to me asking again where the freakin moisturises are. I fucking told you already on the last shelf! Did you look all around? No, you didn't did you! You were too lazy to look on the other side and instead want me to drop what I'm doing and walk all the way over there to point out exactly where the bloody item is. Lazy arses.

Second most asked question is if I work for Big W. Um are you blind? Actually I just love wearing my blue shirt and black slacks with my name on a tag and a bunch of keys around my neck on my weekends, its a new fashion trend.

I had this customer today ask me where hot water bottles were. "Excuse me do you know where the hot water bottles are?". "Uh they should be located over there on those shelves in Health and Beauty otherwise try over near Hardware where the towels are." "No, I just came from over there and they said they were located here." "Um, this is cosmetics, I've never seen a hot water bottle here, they are over near Hardware." "But they said they were over here." "Well they're not sorry, they should be near Hardware and Homewares." Customer looks annoyed and looks at me weird then walks off. That's right bitch fuck off and go have a look! I think I know what I'm talking about when I say hot water bottles aren't in cosmetics when I've worked here for 2 years so take my advice and go to Hardware where you'll fucking find your hot water bottles! Gosh!

Another customer thought I was their personal service person. Mother who couldn't speak english and daughter who could. Mother wanted to know the price of something so I checked it for them and went back to what I was doing. Daughter is back again with another item for checking. I do it again. Dunno why they can't look at the price ticket from where they got it. Mother and daughter back again with father wanting some perfume. We don't have it now would you fuck off already!

A male customer was asking me about one of the cheap perfumes Tabu. We have so much of this crap, it smells awful, I don't know why people like it. He then wanted to spray it on me! Ewww! Horrified I told him "No thanks I don't want that stuff on me!" And then he said "Ohh why not? You don't like the cheap perfumes eh?" "Nope that stuff stinks and is too old for me." Gross gross gross! So he sprayed it on himself! Hahahaha god go away!

So yeah I guess the main reason i wrote this post was to vent out my thoughts of how work was today. Thanks for reading :p

Luv Keeksy

Just gotta start working out details and get organised etc! I'm so excited! :o) Now I just gotta work my butt off at work and save since I gotta pay for most of it :p

The Sporty In Me

2006-05-10T21:04:00.000+10:00

I used to always hate sports. Never was interested in it at primary school or part of high school, always dreaded P.E. classes, never joined any clubs or sporting teams. I only took tennis lessons, bright and early on a saturday morning which I also hated getting up for. But ever since coming back to Melbourne in year 8, I started to see the good in sport. I actually liked P.E. classes (except the dreaded beep test fuck that!) and sorta got to liking athletic and swimming carnivals, even filling in for people who didn't want to do it! I got onto the senior hockey team without hardly any knowledge of the rules or what I was really doing lol but we won the season undefeated! I got into Rock Eisteddfod which can be included as a sport sorta coz its dancing and exercise :p I continued having tennis lessons at school which were a lot of fun seeing as I didn't have to get up early for it. And now that school has finished, I continued with my swimming (which I have been majorly slack on!), had a surfing lesson and want to continue coz it was awesome, I have joined a gym, I play in a mixed netball team with my boyfriend which is awesome fun!, going to join the tennis club with mum, occassionaly play squash with Bram and Rich, and off to play bare-foot lawn bowls on fri night for a girl's birthday which could count as a sport hehe!

Anyways its always interesting to see how a person can change over time with their likes and dislikes, how they are influenced and how they can learn from experiences. Everyone is forever changing and its hard to keep up sometimes. Me, I like change. I hate routine coz it gets boring, I hate same old same old, so I like to mix things up a little bit. I'm always changing my hair, and am yet to change it again :p My moods change a lot haha I can be silly one moment and an angry bitch the next. My perspective on people and things change dramatically and sometimes I need a little help getting back on track. I like to be my own self and not copy how other people are. We all have so many dreams, desires and secrets that some will never be fullfilled or known. Live while you can the only way you know how.

Luv Keeksy

What's Been Happening...

2006-04-26T21:52:00.000+10:00

I'm soo buggered! I've had quite a few busy weeks with work, my other work, gym, netball, going out, shopping haha gotta love shopping! This week starting from Monday I've been going to the gym everyday with the exception on Tuesday which is when we play netball. I've been alternating between cardio and weights to just cardio on its own which Rich recommended and have been riding 10kms in 20 mins on level 5! Tonight I opted for something different so I did some interval training of running and walking on the treadmill for 30mins. My legs are kinda sore and I'm told I'll be sore tomorrow dammit! But it was fun! I love feeling energised and pushing myself to my limits :o)

In other news...we nearly won Netball last night! It was an awesome game, we all played so well and Rich and I are happy with our new positions of Centre and Goal Defence respectively. If you didn't know already Rich and I play in a mixed team with Jopps, Kev, Shae, Grace, Chelsea, Louise, Camilla and Pete is our sub. Most of us have never played before but you'd never know that seeing the way that we actually play! We were leading last night and thought we had it in the bag, but unfortunately lost 16-13. At least this team was more in our league! And our percentage will go up heaps. Not like the first couple of teams we played which were like pros and kicked our arses! But we play for fun and fun is what we have..it's awesome!

At work, I got 2 girls arrested! The little shits were mucking around with make-up and unwrapping packaging. I kept a close eye on them and once they left my area I called security and he caught them. They were only about 12 or something but dressed very skankily and were cheeky lil buggers about the whole situation. So at first I felt awesome about catching them, but felt bad when I overheard the cops telling them they were getting arrested but then felt good again coz it teaches them a lesson and they'll probably only have to do community service or something. So that made an exciting day at work for me! :p

At my other work (being at the Junior campus years 7-8 of a high school) they had Challenge Week while the year 7's were away. So instead of going to classes with the kids we got to do fun stuff! First of all I went to a home group of one of the kids and we had to make a flag (we had dark red) and give ourselves a name and have a chant. So the class was 8H and we were called the Hot Potatoes and our chant was the Wiggles' Hot Potato song lol! Each kid got a bit of the material to tie around their head or hair or arm or whatever and then we had Mind Challenges in groups. After that we had basketball and I was asked to play in one of the teams. I didn't want to but they needed an extra person so I thought why the hell not. A girl on the opposition kept complaing that I was an adult and wasn't allowed to play and that it wasn't fair. Shut up you lil skanky ho, I was asked and I'll play for my team thank you very much! I let the kids do most of the playing but in the end I scored the winning goal! Hahahaha cop that in your vagina! LOL (sorry I HAD to write that!) Then they played Irish Rounders which isn't Irish at all pretty much but it was funny to see them slip over.

Next day I was assigned a different kid and got to learn about snakes and lizards from this Steve Erwin wannabe. After he showed us the snakes and lizards he handed them out! I got to hold a baby crocodile! I was freaking out a little bit, coz i'd only ever patted a snake and nearly everyone had one around their necks. Then the guy said 'Those of you who have a snake, give it to someone who hasn't had one yet.' Guess who got a snake around their neck...My god I was shaking!! I was kinda frozen on the spot and as long as I could see where its head was I was ok, but then it went up the side of my face!!! I felt its tongue tickle my cheek!!! ARGHHHH!!!! My hands were flailing lol it woulda been a sight! Finally I managed to get someone to get it off me. It was definitely an experience I'll never forget! After that spectacle I got to hang out with Emma (one of the other aides) and we learnt some Jamaican dancing complete with bongo boy! Haha he was pretty cool and kept playing different beats. The lady was also cool and had the whole thick Jamaican accent going. I love accents, I could sit and listen to a Jamaican person all day long, I would also love to sit in an Irish pub or something all day long talking and listening to people lol. Anyways back on track...The kids sucked, except for a couple of them. They just weren't getting into it, they just wanted to watch the lady dance, but she was there to teach them dances. Anyways Emma and I got up and did most of the dances and tried to motivate the kids. It was awesome fun! Quite different but love the beats and rhythm! Then the lady starting telling the kids how the people of Jamaica work hard and have very little, and that you are experiencing an opportunity to learn about a different culture and just aren't making the most of it. It was funny how she started imitating some of the kids by walking funny and saying they are too cool to get up and dance. I bloody well agree with her. Some of these kids are little brats and just don't appreciate simple things and make the most of them.

After dancing I had to see the snakes again which seemed repetitive and his jokes weren't funny. And that was my last day because Monday was a day off and I only work Mon-Wed. But it was fun and beat the hell out of sitting in classrooms! With shopping I finally got this long sleeved coral Billabong top that I've wanted and a bluey/greeny striped scarf. Need to get more tops! Got Illy's 21st comming up on Sat, Ness's in July, Dinner parties, Netball matches, my 21st in October haha so far away! Ilke's wedding in December, Mother's Day, ice skating and movies thrown in there somewhere as well! Anyways that's enough from me! Stay groovy!

Love Keeksy

Random thoughts

2006-04-06T23:00:00.000+10:00

OK lets's just go with some random thoughts here...try and keep up.
Todays weather was better than yesterday's weather. Yesterday's weather was shithouse, freezing cold, rain that's just shit, and icy wind that's even shitter. I'm glad I had my puffy coat to keep me warm and dry...I feel like an eskimo in that thing sometimes. It's my life saver now, coz if you don't know me well enough, I hate the cold. I even get cold in Summer, which on its on is a little weird :S I don't know why, I don't know how, but I do. I'm a freak yes I know. But I rug up and cope with it and complain lots and lots :) Love my trackies....I want green fluffy slippers from work. I want a less puffy jacket too! I need a long scarf...

Cam's lazy and I'm cold. He's the biggest slacker I know, I swear! He's just sat on his bum for the past 2 days in a row that he got off school and watched movies, played nintendo, or gone on the computer. I got home and he was still in bed at 10:45am. I made him get up, I did a few chores and got myself ready and asked him to do the dishes and hang out the next load of washing. He was also sposed to walk the dog and do his homework. I get home at 3:30 and he's having lunch watching a movie, the phone has fallen off the bench (which he hadn't noticed) fluff and ripped paper on the floor, dog chewing on god knows what and only the dishes had been done. Nothing else. Zip. Nutta. SLACK I say, SLACK!

I miss fun dips...Gym tomorrow = 10km bike ride or more. Gotta stick to my program and maybe go twice a day, program and then a class or vice versa. And we need to play more squash!!! Squashy squash squash! And netball...we lost on Tuesday, I didn't get to play, but I sat and talked with Pete and cheered on our team and got some tips from watching lol. Fun fun! Prison Break rocks, and I'm behind in episodes of Lost..dammit I need the Molloy Boy's hard drive to catch up. Got a masqerade ball next week on thursday and I went looking for a mask today with Ness. Went to 2 places that I know have heaps, Lombard's and Bayside Fancy Dress. Man there are a few to choose from. I was hoping for a black cat one but they were shit. I tried on heaps and they looked shit. I looked either like a superhero, a masked bandit or an idiot lol. The more I tried on, there more stupid it looked. I found a nice one that's different, black with cut out bits that I could decorate with diamontes or something and a feather or what not, or go for a feathery one or the other one I found....hmmm soo hard to choose. Rich is wearing a batman mask :P

Was speaking to Ako before, he rocks! :) He's a big fan of Prison Break just like myself, but the poor thing stuffed up his taping of last night's episode. I told him to download it instead so hopefully he can watch it then. Damn its cold! I can hear the wind and rain and its making me chilly. I'm trying to learn to type with more fingers on my left hand instead of just the one and its kinda working but I'm going slower and it feels weird. I served like 2 people tonight and not even with cash. We're getting new register's in too! The coolo touch screen ones like Coles :) that'll be fun! I need to get a tan next week. Whoopdiwoowoo....

Meh my bed's gonna be cold. Does anyone else's beds get cold? I'll have to put my electric blanket on my bed so it warms it up beforehand :) Oh one of my most favouritist things about Winter and the cold? The smell of open fireplaces....gorgeous! Used to love smelling it while walking home from school, makes you feel all cosy and reminds me of the country. Love sitting by the fire too and roasting marshmellows :) mmmm Mum will prob put a fire on tomorrow night ;) Anyways I think its time to stop and go to bed coz I have been awake since 6am and Dave and I made scones :) yum! Goodnight!

Love Keeks

New Look New Me

2006-03-29T15:04:00.000+11:00

I haven't written in here for sometime kinda, and since I changed the look I might as well grace it with a new post. Since the last post I've been kinda busy, working, going out, partying, getting drunk lol, and....stuff.
We celebrated Bram's 21st this month!! Happy Birthday Chicken!!! Had dinner at his house with a few friends...lol that was fun specially those photos haha silly Dave and Archie! Then a few week later Ness and I helped decorate the marquee for Bram's party. We did a pretty good job too :) But the woman where we got our stuff from...my god she was fucking annoying! We told her what we wanted and how we wanted it, but she kept saying things like 'how about you do it this way?' or 'do you think that would work? how are you going to do that?' Shut the fuck up! In the end I just said to her 'Look we've done this before' and that put a stop to that :) Yeah that's right lady we know what we're doing so leave us alone and just give us your products that we are paying for.
Massive night though, cocktails=fun, drunken, sticky, madness. :p Had so many! There were 3 to choose from- Margarita, which was really strong, Splice- which was the best!, and Fruit Tingle- which was soo sweet and yummy! Ness and I were alternating between champagne and cocktails throughout the night, until the bar chicks left, no one was there to make them for us, so people ended up making their own! lol soo messy! There was soooo much alcohol, sooo much! We wasted a bit though making our own but it was interesting. We got Dean back too haha This Michael guy and his mate were feeding Dean slops from the bucket and he didn't even know! Sucks to be you Dean!
Anyway I think everyone enjoyed themselves especially Bram :) We have a few more 21st's coming up this year too lol Celebrated Illy's last week at Frostbites and then yet again sometime soon at her house.
I got to experience one of the best days of Bram's life when we went to the Fort Minor concert! It was awesome enough that we were meeting the band before the show and we made some friends (Vic- champion! :p) straight away by giving our 2 spare tickets to the meet & greet to Vic and his mate. Got lost of merchandise, and then hung around talking to Sarah, her sis's bf, Vic and Griff waiting to meet the band. I said to Bram what are you gonna do when you finally get to meet Mike Shinoda? And he's like 'I'll probably piss my pants or faint!' lol luckily he didn't, instead the guy asked for Mike's hat! Mike said back to him 'No way in hell, but good try though!' Bram nearly missed out on a photo with him too but luckily I made him and took the photo :) More hanging around waiting for P Money to get off, and then we were standing right at the front. Concert was awesome! At the end the band stayed around signing stuff and giving out after party passes. I got sooo squished! Bram got his whole wallet signed by the band and other stuff, he also grabbed a towel lol and coz we didn't get a pass Bram started talking to Kevin, one of the violinists, and Kevin said Bram could go to the after party if he was to bring 10 chicks! So Bram and Vic thought this was a top idea, cept it was a Sunday night on Chapel Street and there was no chicks to be seen, they even went searching. In the end we were hanging out the front of the place and Ryu came out the front so Bram and Vic ran up to him and asked if we could get in and Ryu was like yeah sure, no worries! Security was soo pissed lol they said if Kevin didn't come down in a few minutes they were gonna chuck us out lol So we got to mingle and shit and met a few people and then we laughed about it so much on the way home how we couldn't believe what had just happened! Fantastic night!
Things are changing for me at the moment...I'm thinking of becoming a Primary School teacher :) My mum said ever since I was little, she thought I'd be one. So in order to do this and have extra stuff to get me in, I've applied to be a Teacher Aid in different schools. You help kids to write, read and understand what the teacher means etc. Even kids with special needs you have to help as well. I'll be earning around $17,000 a year full time as well as working at Big W on top of that ocassionally :) I can also get my Cert III while doing the Teacher's Aid work. It's also healthy KJ time lol I've recently motivated myself enough to become addicted to going to the gym. I go to Body Balance classes which are always fun and relaxing, and doing my program in the gym. I'll start swimming soon, and I got taught how to play squash with Bram and Rich :) so I'll be playing that more often lol that game is soo funny! Also I wanna start brushing up on my tennis too eventually. And surfing I wanna do more of as well!! And apparently Rich and I have joined a mixed netball team? I dunno what's going on with that. I also have my doggy to walk :) But not just exercise - healthy eating I have become more aware of - cutting out all fizzy drinks, only on occassion I'll drink Coke zero or stuff with no sugar, and heaps of water! Sandwiches and toasted ones, yoghurt with musli for breaky yum! Juice and fruit and cut up carrot and celery with dips :) mmmm I hate eating chips now. So I'm try and stick to this plan and see how I go!

Anyways that's enough, I gotta go walk my dog soon!
Luv Keeks

Rich's 21st, Satha's, Christmas, New Year and Boxing Day!!!

2006-02-02T11:36:00.000+11:00

Here's a bit of a re-cap of past events.

Rich's 21st
Awesome night! I got a bit drunk lol but it was fun fun fun all the way! Got heaps of photos to show for it haha my slutty photos on my phone with Phil's awesome aviators lol! I think my brother was nearly as drunk as me too :P The cake Juleigh made was yummy as and I got to taste it this time! The slideshow presentation was really good and speeches were funny as specially when Dave just came up and punched Rich on the arm lol. Got to catch up with a few people like Jopps and Bims and Leah, Peta, Ruth and Emma. I organised going around with a book to get signed by people for messages for Rich. Haha I think I wrote about 3 or 4 random messages in there! :p I think everyone had a great night especially the birthday boy! I had my devil horns from sexpo that seem to make an appearance everywhere! I ended up buying the same aviators lol they rock! I ended up falling asleep by 5am and people were still there. I was wrecked in the morning but that means I had an awesome night!Can't wait for all the 21st's this year!

Satha's Birthday
Had Satha's birthday at TGI Friday's on Chapel Street. I love the cocktails there mmm yummy! I seem to order the same thing to eat too - Chicken strips with the yummy dipping sauce and chips, I'm obsessed! That was a good night too - haha everyone trying to bluetooth people and bloody Dave and his seating habits and bitching. Ness and I got photos done again hehe they look better than last time :p Rich had a sore mouth coz he's teething hehehe nah his wisdom teeth were hurting, poor bub. There was lego on the table and I got a call from my Mum and brother that they were buying a Golden Retriever puppy! Very excited then..I even video called them to see the cutest puppy ever! Anyways that was a fun night! I can't remember what happened after it...I don't think we went out anywhere? Correct me if I'm wrong...you know how shit my memory is... :p

Christmas
Christmas was awesome! We got a puppy!! Have so many photos of him (he's much bigger now). I think Mum and Cam were pretty happy with their presents as I was mine. We had to get ready to go to my Uncle's for a huge lunch. Love Christmas lunch! And it was puppy's first outing too! He got to play with Lyn's dog in the backyard and he was having soo much fun hehe. He was pretty tired by the end of it though and curled up asleep in the kitchen then fell asleep on this really nice old lady. So cute! We even got gifts that day which was unexpected but nice :) Cam watched King Kong with the others while I hung out with my cousin drinking champagne, eating Brie cheese (YUM!) and talking shit lol Then in the afternoon I caught up with Rich, Bram, Ness, Nat, Satha, Dave and Anton at Rich's house to give out presents. That was fun! I got some really nice things! Thanks guys! :)

New Year's
This New Year's was at Ness's house with Ness, Nat, Illy, Courtney, Nadalie, Bram, Zed, Rich and I. Brought over a bottle of Pink champagne and a 4 pack of Smirnoff's, had a vodka sunrise with the girls and then continued to drink my drinks as the others weren't really drinking. PLaying in the pool was fun! Was doing jumps into it with the boys hehe soo funny and using the scuba thingies that conk out sometimes and you start sinking lol And then with the countdown I was shouting it out then popped a bottle of champagne into the pool lol yummy then we got out the glow sticks Ness and I got and we all had two colours on our wrists then turned out the lights! It looked so cool! Rich and I jumped into the pool while the others went inside to play Xbox. I was still in party mode!!! I think I tired myself out though, after playing a game of Buzz later on I fell asleep and the boys took me home. This year we'll be doing something with Rich's friends. Sounds like fun!! :)

Boxing Day
Mum, Cam, Rob (one-nut haha), Rich and I went to my Uncle's house as usual per year to party it up. Hehe I love going there, even though this time we didn't have Tequila slammers dammit! But I got to hold my cousin Belinda's new born baby and catch up with Kellie and Shane and the rest of the relo's. We tried to organise backyard cricket but it didn't happen lol. Tommy also came along too and was hanging out with Uncle Pete's dog Dusty. Hehe soo funny, coz Tommy is so young and was bouncing around and Dusty is old and was just quiet and keeping away from him.

Annual Boxing Day party at Bram's wasn't as awesome as the previous year but still good. I coloured Cam's hair with red tips so he looked like a mini version of Bram. I ended up painting nearly every guys fingernails black too! Had lots of fun, hehe I can't remember much of it, I just have a few photos to remind me. Photos of me drinking out of a champagne bottle with my Mum and brother haha also with the devil horns again!! Was putting scary masks on with Ako ahah funny! OOO Jenga!!!! Had the most awesome Jenga game with Jim and Steve or was someone else playing? I can't remember :s (shit memory). Dean's a bastard. Oh my my little mini puddings! I love them hehe they are fucking awesome! :p I'll make em again, they seemed popular and were all gone in a quick amount of time. Mum brought Tommy to this event as well. Hehe he gets around! He got lots of attention hehe. He was so tired after all the events. I just realised I'm typing about Boxing Day after New Years. Ah well doesn't matter. Hmm yeah I think that's it. I can't remember anymore but I think I got all the major points down :) Let me know if I've forgotten any! Ciao Ciao
Love Keeksy

Bitch, Moan and a Whinge

2006-01-30T16:10:00.000+11:00

(Written at work)

Well most of you know where I work and if you don't then maybe you can guess from this entry.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind working there, I have many friends and I like using the register, playing with the make-up and interacting with some customers - only some!

Anyway many things have peeved me off recently and have built up over time. Take yesterday (Saturday afternoon the 28th) for example...

It was hot, the store was hot, I was hot and bored so customers - don't come and piss me off or I will piss you off and no I DO NOT CARE. I'm here to serve you, so be a nice customer or you'll get the service you otherwise deserve.

In front of my register desk is a shelf full of watches. They shit me to tears. We have to keep it neat as its one of the first things customers see when they walk past.

Now seriously, why would you come and look at watches on the shelf, mess them up, put them in the wrong spot and let them fall down, when you can clearly see I'm trying to tidy them up? For ages no one looks at them, then BANG! As soon as I'm there its like a swarm of bees trying to fight to look at frickin watches. FUCK OFF!

Then I get complaints from these bees about the bloody watches - 'What price is this?' Look on the shelf idiot or the back of the packet - the price is clearly there I'm not your slave. 30 seconds after writing that I had to do a price check for a frickin watch. Yay.

I hate people hanging around. I hate getting asked where something is a million times when they are too slack to look - its right behind you silly! What's also annoying is people bringing their kids at 8:30am in the bloody morning! I mean come on! I'm tired, I don't need your bratty kids in here, screaming and yelling absurdities and messing up the make-up at this time. Piss off and take them to the movies or some place that'll scare the shit out of them, or better still, keep them at home watching Video Hits and cartoon like normal parents would.

Another thing - and its happening right now - I've heard the same song played about 5 times from the Electronics Department. Not a bad song but by the 3rd time I'm kinda over it. They were playing Human Nature's new cd, then switched to techno. Plus above my head I have the Golden Oldies music that plays throughout the store so I'm stuck in a two song world here. At least I have variety.

As you can tell I'm quite bored and have nothing to do. I'm working 10-5 on a Sunday and have my hour break at 1pm. So now I'm doing nothing and saving what's under the desk (make-up stock) to put out after my break.

Work has its perks though. I can call someone to come and take my rubbish away, I get to use the phone and call Katie in the change rooms, I can call people to my service when I need them for something, I can't leave my area so I can just chill behind my desk and do nothing, I can use the loudspeaker so you can here my lovely voice throughout the store, and I get to play with the make-up and see the latest products come out and go to different make-up brands promotions/schools. Also I can work out how much make-up is a rip off and a waste of time - some of the things are ridiculous - like eyebrow pencils, little concealer sticks worth like $30 and so on. I only really like the lipglosses now and girls, mascaras are all the same even if they claim they plump, boost, lengthen, volumise, give shocking lengths, hydrate, curl, architect build, volume shock, or give your lashes 2000 calories - wtf? They are doing the same thing, coating your lashes and giving a slight curl. I'm yet to find one that is clump free - even the ones that say they are, have clumps.

The only people making a profit are the make-up companies. They laugh in the face of people who use make-up as we don't really need it. Can you imagine a world without it? I don't think so. We've all been brainwashed into using it and seeing it on nearly everyone. I'm guilty of using it as most of you are, but I'm not obsessed with it and don't rely on it. Kudos to the chicks who have the confidence to not wear it. We see the products on models in magazines which are airbrushed to the max, who probably aren't even wearing any make-up and it is all computer generated. We look at these advertisements and are influenced by them and want to look like the model but we're being conned into it. Working in the cosmetic industry, you realise a lot of things. Make-up is a lie and a cover-up for what you really look like. Why should you rely on make-up to give you confidence? I saw a girl at the gym, who was slim, fit and gorgeous - except for the 5cm layer of make-up on her face! Why on earth would you wear make-up to the gym? That's disgusting - you sweat like a pig (unless you're slack) and your make-up would be clogging up your pores and not allowing your skin to breathe. Gross. Another thing - guys absolutely hate the stuff!

Ok back to things that peeve me off. There's this one particular manager who keeps calling me Kirsty. This morning she even looked right at my name tag and called me Kirsty. What an idiot. Can't you read? She's a cow anyway. Then there's this chick on the front desk who is a total bitch who everyone hates. One minute she's nice, next she's barking in your face. I've lost all respect for her.

One last thing - I hate people complaining to me about shit, it's not my fault we don't have certain stuff in stock, go away, complain to the managers, or go to another store, I'm sure **** won't mind the loss especially since they are saving soooooo much money by not using the air conditioner. Tight asses. Better still go complain to the chick at the front desk - that'll make her day.

And to the guy that pulled out in front of on-coming traffic on Nepean Hwy - you fucking moron! And yes you bloody well deserved my horn you idiot. Unlike some people I can drive and know the rules - shuddup Rich and Bram :p

P.S. I was told I look like an 18 year old yesterday by James. What a sweetie - at least I'll look 2 years younger off my original age when I'm older like in my 30's or 40's HaHa!

P.P.S. Drivers with 'You're too close...BACK OFF!' written on the back of their cars are just asking for the opposite. They may as just have stuck up:

'I'm a slow driver, feel free to ride up my ass and I might get the idea of driving a bit faster or at least reach the speed limit'

Never Know

Jack Johnson- Never Know

I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
But don't leave much up to the imagination
So I want to give this imagery back
But I know it just ain't so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
It sure seems the same with a different name

We're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing, always guessing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're trying, but where is this all leading?
We'll never know

It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster
Want to take a time-lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last word and maybe that's just the answer that we're after
But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We're moments just combusting
We feel certain but we'll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name

We're begging and we're needing, and we're trying, and we're breathing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing
Never know

Knock, knock, coming door to door
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim
If you don't believe in what they're spoon-feeding
It's got no feeling so I read it again and again and again

It sure seems the same, so many different names

Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we'll always be competing

Never knowing
We're schocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing, confusing
But the truth is all we got are questions
We'll never know

Havaianas!!!

2005-11-26T17:34:00.000+11:00

Hands up if you own a pair of Havaianas thongs? Meee!!! In fact I have 3 pairs and shamefully I want more! There are so many colours to choose from a girl can't have enough....dunno about the guys...It's good to have one for each outfit e.g. I have orange ones to wear with my green skirt, green ones to wear with my jeans, and brown ones when I want to tone things down a notch. My friend Ness has started her own little craze of wearing two different colours together...call her weird but i think she's on to something! Especially when you can't decide between which colours to wear that day!

It's one the crazes that is sweeping the shopping-fashionista world. And if you don't know what havaianas from what I've told you then you are a shame and should find out by going out to your local shopping centre and stare at people's feet. These groovy basic thongs come in a range of colours, styles, sizes and prints. There is a colour to suit every mood and outfit. By why are so many people fascinated with these little baybies? My friends and I and I'm sure most other people couldn't settle for just one pair and had to have more colours and MORE! I personally like the bright colours but yellow is too much for me. I want some purple ones and blue ones and then maybe I shall be satisfied and go buy some more bags....ooo Chloe bag!!

Great times!

2005-11-21T23:40:00.000+11:00

It's been a while since I posted and boy have heaps happened!!! We had our Monash Marketing Uni Ball in September and everyone looked gorgeous! The three of us got our hair, tans and make-up done at MAC and I also got my nails done too. We got a limo to the Carlton Crest which was fun as! I have heaps of photos in Flickr so check them out there.

Had my birthday dinner at Riva on St Kilda Marina. I love that place!!! Yum food (specially that chocolate dessert) and gorgeous atmosphere and settings. That was fun! Then went to Bridie's and left the guys there and the girls went to Frosties. LoL good 'ol Frosties. Got quite drunk but I had a good night. Thanks guys!

Umm had all my exams (one on Cup day, fucking Uni) and yeah finished them all thank god! Went to Pete's 21st (Rich's best friend) hehe the theme was Fantasy so Rich went as Mr Universe with shorts and a sash, and I went as a Hula Girl complete with grass skirt and bikini and lai's. Had to leave early to go to Ben's 21st hehe poor Ness was very drunk and screamed in excitement when she saw me! I got lots of hugs from people that night! Danced around to the Used with Bram...that was wicked! After that ended I was still buzzin' so I decided to meet up with Rich and people from Pete's party at Mint. Had lots of fun there! Hehe two of the guys Matty and Kev were dressed as Wonder Woman and a Slutty Nurse and some guys were checking them out then getting a rude shock when they found out the were actually males! :p Got 4 hours sleep and off to work Sunday morning...Fun.

Then we had another costume 21st to go to, Grace's was themed as Hollywood. So I went around organising Rich's Gangster costume which was a tommy gun (very hard to find!) a white tie, black hat with white and white suspenders and he wore his black pants and shirt...very sexy! and I went as Marilyn Monroe complete with blonde wig, feather boa, fake eyelashes and famous beauty spot! Hehe that was also a fun night! Not many people dressed up but there were a few Audrey Hepburn's, gangster's and Pete came dressed up like Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Carribean!! He looked awesome and his girlfriend Michelle also came as a female pirate. Ben, Pete kicks your ass as dressing like a pirate! :p After the party and a few champagnes later (i love champagne! go the Pink!) we headed off to Mint again! So me not being used to having a lot of attention and being outside my comfort zone went into Mint dressed like Marilyn Monroe with 3 gangsters. Heh all these boys were calling out 'hey Marilyn!!' Lots of girls came up to me and said I looked gorgeous which was nice and some people asked us where we had been and stuff. It was a strange experience hehe but I got into it! As we were leaving and walking out the door some guy goes 'hey Marilyn was here' and the bouncer said to him 'yeah we get all kinds of stars here!' haha fun fun night! Will post pictures of these costumes as soon as I get my hands on some!

Most recent 21st I was at was Peta's all the way in Ballarat on saturday night. It was a chocolate theme and she had lots of chocolatey food around as well as Fondu's!! Yummo! Also she had this great idea of having blank cd's spread out to read Happy 21st etc and everyone could write a personalised message on them instead of having a message book. I thought it was pretty groovy!

Heh got myself a Care Bear toy from Macca's Happy Meal! I love Care Bears and i want one for my 21st lol *hint hint* haha umms been doing lots of working out at the gym with my personal trainer. She gives me all this cool stuff to do and on different machines and really pushes me which is great! So that's twice a week and I'm trying to get a job at a surf store or Smiggle...smiggly smiggle i love it! heehee

Oh went to Sexpo after Rich and I got back from Ballarat! haha that was fun! Never been before but it was cool! Saw this giant dick and boobs walking around and the dick squirts out stuff at chicks :p also people walking around in bikinis and see-through clothing etc. haha came across this stall called Künt and I was saying cunt, and this lady comes up to me and starts talking to me about it and showing me a barrel full of Künt which consists of these little plastic humans- girls and boys and you can put them in different positions and stuff or play games like the hanging monkeys or jacks. But apparently Künt is Dutch and means 'I can' or 'is possible' so yeah i found that amusing and they had Künt t-shirts but i thought i'd get in trouble if i wore one around in public :p There was also a blow up jumping castle thing that had a blow up penis and boobs inside lol hmm what else...dildos everywhere and lingerie...this goth chick started talking to us when we were lining up to go inside at the ATM...she thought i looked familiar but i wasn't the person she was thinking of but she was pretty nice anyway.

Went and saw Saw 2 last night. Man that is one really well written movie with a good ending...but fuck! what is wrong with these guys heads? How do they think up this stuff? Maybe they need some counselling...but i guess there aren't that many good horror movies out there and these are the ones that do their job properly. Also Hostel looks mighty fucking scary....

Well hmm i think that is it for now....i have some posts in draft that are yet to be released so keep checking back for more...i shall try and write some more shit soon...till next time

You're A Princess Girl
You live for the four F's: fun, fashion, flirting and five-inch heels. A day without pink champagne is a day wasted to you. Your Girls' Night In should be a lavish affair: Ask your friends to come as their favourite Hollywood starlets and set up a little fountain of punch for them to drink from.

http://www.girlsnightin.com.au/promotions/flash.html

Heh I've recently picked up the "princess bug" I don't know why, maybe coz I watch Australian Princess lol or coz I get called a Princess and a 'girly-girl' lol but hey why not! We're all princesses and love to be showered with gifts and pretty things and dress up all nice :P loving the jewellery I made and also received from my friends! Addicted to it! They are like all sparkly jewels! :oP

Anyways, link above also got me on to Fundraising for Cancer Research. Most of you know that my Dad passed away and had pancreas cancer, and so I want to be able to do something in memory of him to help with cancer reasearch. So i've signed up for this Girls Night In thingy, and enlisted myself to sell a couple of boxes of merchandise for Daffodil Day 2006. Also thinking about doing Relay For Life next year as well. I did it when I was in year 10 and it was quite fun. We need a minimum of 10 people so if you're interested let me know! :) I hope you'll help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Anyways I don't know what else to write as I'm kinda tired. Big weekend coming up! Last 2 exams next week, shit that one of them is on Melbourne Cup, fucking Uni. Ta-Ta!

Love Princess Keeks

I've seen better days...

2005-10-06T15:40:00.000+10:00

I close my eyes and soak the silence

I seal the shame I hold inside

I'm losing grip and I feel helpless

I need to let it slip away

I've made mistakes I know but I'm human just like you

If I could turn back time I'd rewrite every wrong

I'm hurting

I'm bleeding inside

I'm trying to leave it all behind but everythings a mess

-sunset avenue

Not having a good day at all today....broke down crying this morning coz thinking about stuff like Uni and what I want to do with my life.

Did a lot of soul searching. I feel kinda lost and definitely not my usual self. It was hard.

Made some choices today though. Will tell mum tonight. I'm either going to quit Uni or defer next year. It's really driven me into the ground, I'm not doing my best, I'm depressed and I can't cope. Uni just isn't for me. I just want to work and earn money.

At the moment a degree doesn't mean a whole lot to me. There are many different pathways in life and I choose to take a different one now. I'm going to see the councellor at Uni to see what my options are. I feel guilty as I know Uni is not for me and by quitting, it will save mum her money and me my mind and mental health. I don't care what anyone's opinion is, this decision is for me and none of you are me. None of you know what I am going through, its been a hell of a year specially after last year which was the worst year of my life.

Both my feet hurt internally now from walking around. I can barely walk now...stupid feet. Got the Pete Murray cd today, its quite good. Not one of my usual posts but too bad, that's life.

Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Father’s Day with Mum and Cam. Loved it! Oompa Loompa songs are cool and Johnny Depp’s giggle was funny as! :P

Went to Chaddy on Wednesday and got myself some earings and necklace for the Ball and one of the t-shirts Ness showed me…I got the ‘Blonde at heart’ one hehe :p coz you all know what I’m like! Now all I need are some shoes and maybe a bag…we’ll see! Can’t wait to get spray tan and nails done :o) Hopefully it’ll be a gorgeously warm day with an awesome sunset!

Had Phil’s 21st last Saturday night down at Geeee-long. Was a fun night hehe I got a little bit too drunk…and yes we’ll leave it at that! :p Still yet to see the video we took...I was behind the camera for some of it…I wonder how it turned out…

Heh my kitty is sitting up here on my desk…he must like the warm lamp light…so cute! Whoa this flute music is going on for a very looooong time…no wonder! Its on friggin repeat! Ahh relaxing anyway :o) hehe kitty is dreamin…his paws are twitchin…his mind is wanderin…while he’s soundlessly sleepin

Did a Body Balance class on Tuesday night after gymnastics coaching with Ness and Illy. Was really fun! It’s a mix between Tai Chi, Pilates and Yoga. Good for the mind, body and spirit I say! You get so warm at the beginning though and your hardly moving! Have to do it again next week when they start a new one.

I should really go to bed now. But first I’ll leave you with a little ad from Jay Jay’s lol…seen the beer ad where lots of men are running on the ground to make a Big Ad? Then you’ll understand this ad :p enjoy!

Hail hurts but coffee is good!

2005-08-31T17:40:00.000+10:00

Well this is awesome! Finally I found a way to post easier and quicker with the added benefit of choosing my own font and better range of colours! Woot! Anyways on to what I was meant to say...

Walking back to my car today after uni (yes I actually went to Uni on my day off!) it started spitting, then came big droplets, and I’m thinking to myself ‘Oh yeah this ain’t bad, it better not start hailing’ and what does the fucking sky decide to do? Throw down little frozen droplets on me! Grr! They kinda sting when they hit cold uncovered skin, lucky I had a hood and my coffee to comfort me =) I bought myself a Very Vanilla Latte from Gloria Jeans! Yummo!

Favourite band of the moment is Tegan and Sara... these chicks rock! They are twin sisters from America and you might know one of their songs I Hear Noises. Another couple of good songs I recommend are: Walking With A Ghost, Divided and Not Tonight. Good road trip music! =)

Today was pretty productive, in more ways than one...hahahahaha...hmm sorry lost my train of thought there!...

Got work done for our group assignment which we have a 5 minute presentation tomorrow. Should be easy as! Asked my friend Sue if she wanted to come with us to the Ball...we have a spare ticket right Ness?? Anyways Ness, Illy and I have been preparing for the Ball, which is on the 22nd of September! We’ve booked in spray tans, make-up, and nail appointments, got our dresses, need accessories, and thinking about hair styles. Not to mention booking a limo...who is doing that??? Anyone know any good places? The one Ilke got us for year 12 Ball was sweet, it had lights all around the outside and beer and champagne on ice and glasses behind your backs around the inside and little coloured lights on the inside! OoOo photos on the beach definitely hehe Guys you’re in for a good night!!! =)

Got home from Uni and I was sitting in my car and my brother gets dropped off. He had been mountain biking all day for school. I did not notice anything till I looked at him and went ‘Oh My God!’ The fool was covered in mud, mainly from the waist down. Only minutes ago did he pull out his Element Hoodie and jee-ee-zus! That jumper will never be white again!!!

Ummms still recovering from my shitty ass cold! I don’t think I’ve ever taken so long to get over the flu/cold. It’s shitting me up the wall!!! Grrr Lips are getting dry, bought myself a strawberry chapstick with a free one, bargain! Hmm what else...cold weather is back...noooooo hide me please somewhere warm, with doonas, pillows and hot chocolate and let me out when spring/summer is here =)

Oh Charlie and the Chocolate Factory comes out tomorrow...woot! Phil’s 21st on Saturday night, and then I have no work on Sunday! Yay! So since it is Father’s Day, Mum, Cam and I are having a day to ourselves, by going to the cemetery and maybe go to the movies or something...hopefully it’s a nice sunny day =)

Luv Keeksy

::Silly stuff that has been said:: "A shooting star is a dying star" - "S'bruised" - "Your numberplate is MOO spelt backwards" "Oh yeah so it is!"

2005-08-11T00:48:00.000+10:00

Well as most of you know i have been back from QLD for quite some time now and Uni is back in action...woop! Anyhoo i thought it was time i write something as i am sick to death of always coming on here to link to other people's blogs to check out what they are writing, and seeing the title of my blog from July staring me in the face (i'm sure most of you would also agree with this).

If there was a way to write this entry in some funky assed font called Bitchin, Bringdanoize, Buffied or CaffeLatte i would. But no doubt, i bet there is no such way unless i do some nerdy shit and work it out or i could take the easy way and check the help section but i cbf'd. So we are therefore stuck with this.

Random things that have happened lately:

I coloured my hair - not much change here as hardly anyone has noticed unless i have told them...its a slightly lighter shade of brown "with colour booster Flash Brown technology" (L'Oreal) *how does that work??* It works for me i guess coz i'm worth it!

For the umpteenth time this pop-up box keeps on poppin up kindly informing that the updates have been installed and that i should restart my computer and for the umpteenth time i have kindly told this pop-up box that I DO NOT WANT TO RESTART MY COMPUTER!!! I will do it LATER! Do you not understand? No because you are a stupid ignorant pop-up box made by microsoft and have no purpose in life other than to piss people off.

Back from QLD!!!

2005-07-10T15:56:00.000+10:00

Hey everyone! I'm finally back from wet/humid/sunny/warm Queensland...and damn its good to be back! You kinda get over the whole place after a while, and some of the locals are quite ignorant...dissing Melbourne and all that...Melbourne is gorgeous and so much better since all my mates are down here! Got my cat back just before...lil darling Jake haha walking around the house meowing the whole time! Well here's my journal entries I did while i was up there, dunno if they are that exciting but it will help me not to repeat everything i did while i was there...i'll just say to people 'check out my blog' coz i'm lazy :P

26/6
Got up at 7am, I was planning to wake up at 8am dammit! Had a great night the night before at Dave and Ness's birthday party! Fun as and we drank cool martinis (blue saphire martini drink was harsh as!) I was fine this morning though, sore feet from heels and dancing. Finished packing (no more stress from forgetting something!). Driver arrived in Holden Grange (top of the range Holden) so comfy and roomy! Said goodbye to Rich and off to airport. I love flying! Taking off and landing are the best bits. All 3 of us were a but emotional as we left the ground...this was the holiday that Dad wanted...if only he was here to enjoy it with us, he's here in spirit though, smiling down upon us, hopefully he'll shine some sunshine down :o)

Got picked up at Coolangatta airport by a lady driver. Arrived at Burleigh Beach, and we are on the 6th floor with a gorgeous ocean view! Love hearing and seeing the ocean in the morning and night. We all had a nap coz we were buggered. The hotel has cool security things that work only if you have your room key- cool idea! Went to local shopping area to get food and had fish and chips for dinner. The petrol prices up here are soo cheap at the moment!! Like 95 cents! Cam has found a new friend - Foxtel remote. He's watching it now as I write this in bed. Been drizzling all day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! Found a shop/cafe called Frangipanni today, it's cool as!

Luv Keeks

27/6
Well its pouring today! Went to the shops today with Mum and left Cam with his Foxtel. Had a latte and wedges with sour cream at this awesome lil cafe called The Bluff, just outside where we're staying, while the rain bucketed down outside! They have a little frangipani painting to sell for $45! Its a grogeous cafe! I want my cafe to look like it, with french doors and booths and chairs, groovy music and warm comfy atmosphere with delicious food and homemade cookies and slices, with surfy/beachy stuff! What do you think Dave? :P I'll make my mint slick! We then skooted off to some more local shops and Mum bought an umbrella and we got some other random stuff we needed. Looked in lingerie store- some nice stuff i tried on! Mum wants to buy 4 pairs of shoes and I want to go to this photography store and look at/buy some surf and frangipani photos- they're gorgeous! My place (whenever I move out) will be full of photos like that! And heaps of beachy things. Looked in some surf stores and got some more coffee and some lunch for Cam. Finally went back to the apartment out of the pouring rain. I love watching the surfers from our balcony, they are out there in the pouring rain, and so are people, randomly walking around and swimming! Crazy! But I guess they are used to this and its not cold here, well not as icey cold as Melbourne. Its warmish but more coldish and a humid 15 degrees with no wind. We went to Montezumas for dinner tonight and Mum and I had Margeritas! Yummo! I think i drank mine a bit too quick though! Checked out the restaurants across the road on the beach- pretty nice! Felt the pool temperature- warm as a bath! No wonder they swim through the day and night. I can't feel my right leg! Aaargh!! Found the gym on the lower floor - Cam's pumped about that! Oh Shit- pins and needles with the slightest movement! Aaaargh!!!! Um watched more MTV and random shit on Foxtel/TV. Played cards with Cam. We're getting the car tomorrow and going to Surfer's Paradise too to check out more shops etc. Weather will be 23 degrees and sunny by the weekend! Woohoo! Tanning time! I miss everyone though! Ness's birthday today! Hope you had a good one!

P.S. Getting the lift back up after lunch today, the doors opened and a lady from Billabong was in there with a rack of the new season's bikinis! They were doing a model shoot in one of the rooms. Heh I got to see the new range before anyone else! :P Saw her again on our way down to dinner. I feel lucky LOL :P

Luv Keeks

28/6
Dave's birthday today! Happy Birthday big Chumperoo!!
Woke up this morning and mum arrived back with hot chocolates and danishes from Brumby's. She had gone to collect the car already! We've got a silver Astra to get around in now. Its cool, and better than walking round in the rain. So we drove up to Surfer's Paradise and went shopping at Pacific Fair. Its like Southland but only 2 levels and all over the place with outside shops- weird! We saw Madagascar at the movies and shopped at City Beach- awesome, huge surf shop- better than Jetty Surf and Cam got a Billabong hoodie from the Billabong store, some fins for bodyboarding and a wallet. I got a pink Roxy heart sticker for my car, a Roxy keyring and 2 necklaces from Sportsgirl. Then we went to Jupiters Casino to pick out the restaurant for friday night before the show Midnight Magic- apparently we have good seats and a discount coz Mum's cousin knows the lady who works there. Driving back we pulled up at some lights and this wanker of a guy in his done up car was reving next to us. Mum's like 'what does he think he's doing?' The lights to turn right had just turned red and in that split second he shot off literally like a pinball up the road. One of the funniest things I've seen! We all sat there laughing till 5 seconds later our light finally turned green.

We then headed off to my Mum's cousin's house. Karen is awesome! She's just like a blonde version of my Mum! Phillip her husband is cool too and they have 2 sons- Daniel who's 21 and Jesse who's turning 18. Karen's mum (my mum's auntie- my nana's sister-in-law) lives with them too and they have a cute Bischon Frise (i think that's how you spell it! :P) doggy called Bojangles who they call Bo. Jesse's friends were talking to me and noticed i went to Uni. I asked them when they finished year 12 and they said last year and I said i finished in 2003. They then thought i was only a year older than them lol i told them i was turning 20 this year and they're like 'whoa shit!'. They all finished year 12 when they were 17 as they have a different system up here which is weird.

It bloody monsoon poured today but we saw more sun and everyone keeps reassuring us that the weather will improve! I bloody hope so! Apparently they haven't had rain like this for 6 months or something like once every one thousand years! But they need the rain. They also don't have P's up here! You get your L's at 16, then get your licence at 16 and 9 months! So I got to drive Mum home tonight which was fun! Never driven an Astra before and its strange when your driving round places and highways you don't know! Going to check out the Billabong factory tomorrow and might go for a swim. I'm sure Cam is keen to try out his new fins in the awesome surf across the road. Also wanna look at getting some of those frangipani photos I saw the other day! Gotta take a pic of that Frangipanni store too! :P Gawd I'm obsessed!

P.S. Did my Uni timetable for next semester- hopefully I get Wednesdays and Fridays off! Yay!!! :D

Luv Keeks

29/6
Woke up kinda late this morning considering i sleep in when i am the first to go to bed at night! We decided to check out the Billabong store up the highway. Their prices were like any other place and so we left. We went back to Pacific Fair and City Beach where I bought a Roxy zip up hoodie and a blue Roxy heart sticker for the other side of my car! Looking forward to giving that car a thorough cleaning and decorating with my surfy stickers! Drove the Astra again today :) Saw Batman Begins tonight. I've seen 2 movies up here that I've already seen. Hopefully when I get back my friends won't have seen War Of The Worlds and we'll see it when Rich gets back.

Its pouring down massive as I write this! Sick of the fucking rain! The locals are embracing it. Its like we brought it up with us. I came up here to get away from the rain and cold! :( At least its warm. Haven't seen the sun for 3 days. No beach action and didn't get time for a swim in the pool today. If weather is good tomorrow we are going to Seaworld. So many skanky chicks up here too in their lil mini skirts and thongs and low cuts- in this weather! Its their last week of school holidays up here too. Need some new jeans- boot cut or those skinny jeans to wear with my boots and some leather boots (i'm thinking black) and maybe some ugh boots too :P going against what i said as i used to hate them, now they look soo cosy! We'll see. Gotta ring Revlon school too to cancel!

Luv Keeks

30/6
OMG today the whole town was flooded! Mum received a knock on the door at like 7am and she had to go move our car out from the basement carpark because it was flooded. She had to wade through knee high deep water! The pool has overflowed and streets were blocked off. The surf was disgusting- all churned up, with seaweed and foam on the beach. Gross day. We decided to go out for lunch so we drove up to Surfer's Paradise where I recognised the place I stayed at with Stew (Beachcomber's Resort) and all the shops. I bought a pink Roxy tee and a Quiksilver sticker at the Quiksilver store and we had a yummy lunch at O'Malley's Irish pub. Drove around a bit more. Saw the new 80 storey building in progress- interesting to see what that will be like when its finished. Came back and I took some photos of the beach with my phone and camera to prove the crappy weather. Clouds have cleared up now- we saw some stars! Had La Porchetta for dinner and I had my first Corona! Yummo!! Heh i'm not a big beer drinker as my friends would know :p Headed back to the apartment and then watched Lost (I really need to see all episodes from beginning...I'm hooked already!) :p The Cam and I went down to the corner shops and got some awesome ice cream! Better than Baskin Robins and Dairy Bell! Cam chose Double Chocolate and Cookies 'n' Cream ice cream, and got those 2 mashed together with Oreos and mini M&M's. I chose the same 2 ice creams but got them mashed with pieces of cookie dough and mint slice. They mash it all together for you on a piece of frozen granite! Its awesome as! And there are 2 stores in Melbourne at Malvern and St Kilda. Its called Cold Rock and you sooo have to go there! Well weather is meant to be sunny and 23 degrees tomorrow so we are getting up early and definitely going to a theme park!

Luv Keeks

Woke up to gorgeous sunshine this morning! Perfect weather, blue skies and sun! Beach was clean and they started cleaning the pool. We went to Dreamworld today! :D Soo many people there out to enjoy the sun! First ride we went on was the Claw! This ride is soo deceiving...omg! At first it looks and feels like a giant swing. Its scary because you spin as well as feeling like your upside down along with that free fall feeling like the Giant Drop. Mum went on it thinking it would be alright...poor thing was so scared she felt like she was going to pass out. She's so brave for going on it though! Kudos to you Mumsy! Next up was Wipeout for me and Cam. Mum took some photos of us hehe! Love that ride, i laugh the whole time and it spins upside down and stuff, and they had the water underneath it and the shark too this time!

After that we went to Tiger Island and I took way too many photos! I love the tigers, especially the white ones. They're soo cute!! Had some lunch with great entertainment of watching Kato and Sita mating...hmm! Its funny coz she tries to attack him as soon as its over in 10 seconds, but she's got a lead on and he bolts away! They roar heaps too. After the tigers, Cam and I did the long wait for Tower Of Terror. This is my most favouritest one!! :D Had this group of young bimbos (one with a real Louie Vuitton bag Ness like yours :p) in front of us that seemed really bitchy to certain members of their posse. We got to go ahead of them in the end lol! The best bit about the ride is the take off bit and then going backwards!

Next up was the Reptar Rollercoaster which is like a mini version of the Lethal Weapon. Mum got kinda scared on this one. After this we did a huge line up for the Rapids where is started pouring- luckily we were undercover! Tooks us a bloody hour and 20 minutes, but the sun was shining by then :) This ride is cool and mum and cam got soaked hehe! Then back to Tiger Island and up close with a Cougar called Inca- so fluffy! It did these massive leaps centimetres in front of us! Bought Cam a cute white tiger toy and one for myself- to add to my collection :P Have lots of photos! Got a photo of Cam at the jail to compare to the exact same one from when he was6! :p

After all that we rushed back to Burleigh to get changed and dressed up, to go to Jupiter's Casino for dinner and to see Midnight Magic at their theatre. The show was awesome! Lots of dancing and great performances with Bubbles, fire, tigers and 4 dirt bikes in the Dome- OMG that looked scary and amazing! I've only ever seen 2 in there at once! Crazy stuff! We also got a photo with the White Tiger! I'm buggered now...need to rest up for another big day tomorrow at Movie World and I need to swim! Dammit Dave, I said I'd swim everyday, looks like I need to catch up!

Luv Keeks

2/7
Movie World was awesome! (I use that word wayyy too much! :P) We got there early and went on the Batman Ride 2 first. Similar to the I remember. This guy who counts how many people go on had to be the butler and put on an American accent. It was quite funny coz he was making comments like he was soo over what he was doing- imagine doing that all day, saying the script lines repeatedly to people going on the rides. It'd get quite tedious and boring after a while, but a fun job all the same. After that we got some food and checked out the shops like the Harry Potter store, Willy Wonka store- (I got a tweety drink bottle with lollies), Loony Tunes Character store- (I got a Tweety, Cam got a Daffy Duck pen and Taz Devil eraser, and Mum got a Movie World keyring and said she wanted to start a keyring collection- i hope she was joking lol :p) I also got a Movie World enviro bag- trendier than those green Coles ones :P

Then we watched the Matrix Action Show which was pretty cool performed in the main street. Got some photo of that. Off to the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster which is awesome too! Goes backwards and up high, all inside in the dark lol Mum got a lil scared on this one. Cam and I checked out the Matrix Exhibit. Got some photos of that. Went on the Wild West Falls Adventure Ride- also awesome! haha Huge splashdown and goes backwards at the start too! Saw the Police Academy Stunt Show which is funny as and great entertaiment. Went on the Lethal Weapon which was cool except for the fact my ears got bashed to death coz my head got knocked from side to side :-S ...Still awesome!!!

Um then we saw the Marvin the Martian Movie in the 3rd Dimension at the Roxy theatre which when viewing in 3D, they squirt water on you- literally! The 3 of us then went on the lil Road Runner Roller Coaster which is tiny and nothing compared to the stuff Cam and I go on! :P After all the rides we saw the Austin Powers show in the street and the All Star Parade, and got photos with Batman and then with Wonder Woman and other DC heroes. Went on Scooby-Doo ride again before getting an ice cream and heading off after getting more photos in front of the Movie World archway. Very tired! Had a spa and swam in the pool back at Burleigh. I think I'll sleep like a log tonight! Seaworld tomorrow! 3 months for Rich and I today! He's off to the snow for a week!

P.S. Watched Live8 on Foxtel and sent our names in! :)

Luv Keeks

Slept in for a bit longer today! We actually found the Billabong and Quiksilver outlets and OMG do they have good stuff at cheap prices! 2 pairs of pants for $25, shirts and tops for $20, skirts for $25 and jackets and hoodies for $40! It was crazy! I got the skirt i always wanted from Billabong, a mint green Element t-shirt, a Billabong t-shirt and of course a Billabong sticker! Cam got 3 Billabong t-shirts, a wetsuit, a Quiksilver cap and an Element hoodie. Mum got a Billabong top and jacket. Shopping spree! We then tried to make our way to Seaworld :P We kinda got lost and the Marathon was on so that didn't help. Finally got there and had some lunch while watching this guy practice his ski jumps. We got the chair lift across to the main bit and headed for the Polar Bears. They're soo cute and their enclosure in really cool! Nelson and Hudson were the twin orphan boys that were rescued. Here's a random fact- Polar Bears skin is black and their fur in clear with the light reflecting on them making them look white :)

Checked out Shark Bay which is pretty cool- big sharks and lots of little colourful fish, a random turtle thrown in and some stingrays and starfish. Kinda relaxing just watching fish swim by- like watching a giant fish bowl. The we watched another 3D movie- Plant SOS in 4D ( i think its called 4D because its interactive like the other one) we also got squirted with water, the grounf shook, smoke in our faces, wind and things draped down past our heads. LoL tres cool! Bermuda Triangle was next where we got a bit wet. I was freezing at this point as it was a windy day- trying to stay in the sunshine as much as possible!

Then we watched the Dolphin Show which was awesome (oh man i need a new word!) They're so clever and magnificent, smart creatures. Having the job of a trainer with them would be cool as! After that Cam and I made our way to the Corkscrew Roller Coaster which we went on twice and the 2nd time this chick screamed in our ears! It was soo not scary- more fun than anything especially going upside and the twisty bit! After the 2nd time we went on the Pirate Ship- thankfully it DID NOT go upside down! :) Pretty tired and cold at this point. Cam wanted to see the Polar Bears again so we saw Lutik who was posing on the rock. His twin sister is Liya. Took photos of him and the dolphins and seals. I was going to record them croaking (coz I make that sound to Dave lol) but they went to sleep. Bought a cute and cuddly polar bear cub toy and so did cam and a Seaworld enviro bag (to go with my Movie World one! :P) Glad to get in the warm car and eat the donuts Mum bought! Went out to dinner to the Bluff Cafe and then had Cold Rock ice cream for dessert! Cam had the same as last time and I had white chocolate and stawberry ice cream mashed with flake and cookie dough. Damn its good! Tomorrow we're off to Wet'N'Wild and possibly go to Movie World again depending. Gotta go my Centrelink and go back to Billabong coz Mum wants to buy me a wetsuit. Oh my mission which I chose to accept is to get a photo with Daffy Duck for Bram! And seeing Africa 3D Safari at Imax too! Can't wait to get back!

Luv Keeks

4/7
Today was lazy ass day! No Wet'N'Wild coz weather wasn't good condition for it. Instead we went back to the Billabong factory and Mum bought me a wetsuit! Yay! 3/4 one at bargain price of $75! Then we came back to Burliegh after getting Maccas for lunch-mmm healthy- and Mum and I bought a pair of shoes each. I got these really cute, flat metallic pink ones, so now my feet won't get sore guys! :p (Illy I finally got some flat shoes!! :P) And I also went to the Internet Cafe and did my Centrelink and checked hotmail- 39 emails! Deleted crap ones and will check the rest when i get back. Then we finally went to the beach for the first time since we've been up here! Cam and I wore out new wetsuits and damn they keep you nice and warm even though you get used to the water pretty quickly. Caught a few waves, but you were waiting a while for a decent set. Good stuff though! Watched Desperate Housewives tonight- love that show- am still yet to watch all of the first season of Lost- Dave catch me up on that one! Tomoz is definitely Wet'N'Wild and Movie World. Its good now coz all the QLD kids are back at school! So now its
just the Uni students and tourists around :)

Today slept in again. I've been sleeping so well up here considering i'm sharing a room with my brother who snores, whom i haven't heard snore coz i keep him up with my talking in my sleep and whistling through my nose lol i'm already asleep before he goes to bed :P Anyways we went to Wet'N'Wild and Cam and I went on a couple of water slides...the best being the Mammoth Falls, where you sit in a massive raft/round tube thing with up to 6 people and go down what is like a rapids water slide- its sick! The worst being the Flumes, where you wait for ages to go down a 10 second slide- fun but yeah over it. Wave pool was pretty cool..better than the one at Waves in Chelt :) Then we skooted our way next door to Movie World. I tried my hardest to get photos with Daffy but failed, instead got pictures of loony tunes doing aerobics :P Went on only one ride today- the Scooby-Doo coaster..love it! Mum got a photo with the Ab-Fab chicks. Showed mum the Matrix Exhibit thingy and got photos with Daffy and Sylvester together and saw the Police Academy Stunt Show again coz Cam wanted to see it which made me miss out on seeing Tweety :( ahh wells!

Went across the road to a lovely restaurant called Seafire. Table by the window and the waiter was soo cool! He made mum and i his own cocktail, which had tequila, strawberries, frangelico and some other stuff...tasted delish! Like strawberries and cream! :) Had a yummy dinner and dessert we had 4 lil sized desserts to share with mum (coz cam went back to the room to watch Foxtel no doubt!) which consisted of chocolate brownie, home-made chocolate ice cream which tasted soo chocolatey like ovaltines! some yoghurt stuff and strawberry tart. Ice cream was the bomb! Had a chat to him before we left, he's a surfer from New Zealand and he called me and cam 'eggs on toast' coz we are body boarders lol! He said i should get a surfboard and learn to surf. Went back to the room to pack up everything..looking forward to heading home!

Luv Keeks

6/7
Had to get up early again coz we had to check out, and take the car back to Surfer's Paradise. Walked to where all the shops are in Caville Avenue and went to the Quiksilver store (lol Cam and I are obsessed with surf stuff! :P) Haha cam said to me "They should make a book on you called 'Where's KJ? At the Quiksilver Store!" He got some thongs there and we had an iced chocolate at Starbucks and watched some people sitting in this massive chair taking photos. Ummers...then we caught a bus to Pacific Fair and back to Burleigh where we had some lunch at The Bluff cafe and got the driver to take us back to Coolangatta airport. Finally getting closer to coming home! Bought a Cosmo mag and got stuck into it. Finally got on the plane and enjoyed the flight! Same driver who dropped us at Melbourne airport was waiting for us again and I was soo tired by now! But thankful to be home. Unpacked and relaxed!!! :)

Marketing i absolutely loved and aced!!! My god i was dreading it this morning, doing some last minute cramming over breakfast which proved useful. Hehe it was soo easy to bullshit in the entire thing while also having a lovely view of Caufield Racecourse mind you. Its weird though, I haven't been in those same conditions since year 12 which was 2 years ago. Cept this time its not in a cold, boring old school hall with around 100 students...this time there were students as far as the eye could see to my left and to my right. Kinda cool to me as I was bored in stats. Never been to the races either but i was sitting right in front of the finish line! Interesting place...i only have to go there 2 more times this week and then i am on holidays!!! YaY! 6 weeks suckers! Anyways i have lost my train of thought......
Hmm had my housewarming a few weeks ago and Adam's 21st which a great night! Couple of photos below. Been to the footy heaps...go the Bombers! Cept we lost last weekend...what a shame :( gotta get a guernsey with number 33- my boy McPhee! Hehe he is so my boy isn't he Ness!! And Ness you gotta get one too with your boy Lovett 41!! And we can both my lil bomber chicks hahahaha
Been to Max Brenner's...oh boy this is the best shop around town...chocolate lover's heaven! I had the Suckao last time...delish on a cold winter's night :) I recommend you go there people!
Anyways Desperate Housewives is on right now and then Last Man Standing...looks interesting! Bubbye for now!

Some of the best things in life!

2005-04-01T13:40:00.000+10:00

Here's a poem I wrote in year 10 that I found today while cleaning out some stuff on my shelf. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :o)

Some Of The Best Things In Life
Listening to rain pattering on the window, snuggly warm in bed, poetry writing. Walking in the rainforest, serenity, harmony, nature, trees, grass, sand, flowers, sounds of birds chirping. Teddy bears, hot chocolate, slippers, pj's, the warmth of your bed, sleepovers, a good book, cat purring at your feet.

Flying, clouds, clear blue sky, bubbles, ocean, sky, earth, fire, the sound of the ocean and waves. Walking in the city or the park in Autumn with leaves rustling behind you. The feel of water. The smell of fireplaces in Winter carried by the wind through the night sky. The feel of the wind on your face. Fresh air, showers, sunshine, breezes, storms, desire, inspiration, free spirited, enchantment, magick, spells, faeries, butterflies, angels, looking up at the sparkling, twinkling stars at night.

Flickering of a candle, sleeping, babies, scarves wrapped around tightly, being in a park and listening, having a picnic, watching a sunset, standing on a cliff watching the sunrise. Children, chocolate, friends, having fun. The smell of a Summer wind, a bunch of flowers, sweet sounding music, sounds of nature, sitting on a beach, the fruity smells of plants in Summer. Cicadas in Summer, a cool drink, colour, love, happiness, blue, yellow, pink, cuddles, laughing, kissing, hugs, a guy/girl who loves you holding you tightly, knowing someone loves you.

Good friends, family, animals, stars, hearts, dolphins, tigers, waves, sailing on the ocean, white, feeling of freedom, breath, sight, natural, hear, smell, touch, candles, crunching snow, soaking in a bath, dressing up.

Picking flowers, stillness, quietness, fantasies, letters, jewels, clothes, gifts, looking up at the blue sky losing yourself daydreaming, fluffy things, wondering, imagination, soft lips.

The coolness of ice cream on a hot day, the freshness of Spring mountain water, snow, ice, laughter, smiles, eyes glittering full of happiness, red rosy cheeks, a bright smile, baby animals in Spring, the smell of new born babies, fresh fruit, lollies, listening to music, singing.

Peace, drawing, knowledge, truth, curiosity, toys, books, stories, games, reading, food, desserts, photos, the trickling of a river over rocks.

Friendship, carnivals, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, talking with your friends, pillows, hot soup, nailpolish, swimming, darkness, balloons, making sandcastles on the beach, splashing, sport, skipping, jumping, joy, sound, silence, air.

Helping others in need, respect, friendliness, gratefulness, believing in yourself, appreciation, presents, soft rain pattering and sprinkling, company, strength, wisdom, adventure, kindness, stories, incense, dancing, painting, understanding, emotions, feelings, prayers, wishes and Dreams...

Banana Pancakes

2005-03-21T19:12:00.000+11:00

Saw Jack Johnson last night!!! Absolutely awesome show!!! I'm in love with his new song Banana Pancakes (gotta make some sometime!) Ahh love the guy, such good songs, smooth voice, tanned surfy guy ahhhh! LOL Great atmosphere except for the smell of weed...but what do you expect when you go to these things. Nice setting with the sun going down, cool breeze blowing, relaxing on a rug on the grass, singing and dancing along with thousands of people, while Jack Johnson, G.Love and Special Sauce, Donavon Frankenreiter and Xavier Rudd played groovy music all night long! Ah Bliss!

Day started off with me waking up early and getting up for work while Rich and Bram slept in! Lucky buggers, cept Rich was awake and talking to me. Helped myself to some breakfast and headed off to work. Work was ok, played with make-up again as usual and put out some stock. Dave visited me and scared the shit out of me coz I thought he was a customer behind me! Got a free gift from my manager- some Garnier stuff. Got myself a Boost Energy Lift coz man was I feeling lazy and yuck from a big night out for my cousin Andrew (GibbO!!)'s 30th at r.bar Port Melbourne and then to Illy's 20th at Frostbites (shuddup Ben :p) Hehe so yeah then I find out my bro needs to be picked up, when he and Dave should be lining up for a good spot in the line for JJ. Ahh well there was a lil confusion there (we still got good seats Rich! :p) So I pick Cam up and Dave is waiting at our house. Go pick Rich up and then we finally get to Sidney Myer Music Bowl after getting slushies and the boys hitting the crap out of each other playing a game where if you see a certain type of car you punch the person next to you. I think Rich won :P sorry Dave you were a lil slow hehe. So we get a park and find the line where Cam and Rich were waiting and boy it was looooong!!! Moved like 5 metres every 10 mins or so. Lucky for us Dave knew some friends who were already sitting on the lawn YaY! :D So we were sitting in front of the stage about half way up. Brb I need some Solo....

Ahh yummy yum yum! Thatsa better! Anyways where was I? Oh yeah, ate some munchies and Dave threw some BBQ shapes on me, so I threw them back! Lol lots of sillyness, and impatience waiting for the show to start. Taking photos with phone and random videos of us being silly and eating. Wondering whether the person dancing, holding a beer, wearing hippy pants and having shortish shaggy hair was a guy or a chick (apparently 'it' had tiny tits, so it was either a chick or a guy with tits :S) Surfy jerks and chicks in front of us throwing pieces of chunky chalk into the crowd standing up in front. Haha that was entertaining waiting to see who would be the next victim (even though dangerous) specially when a piece hit this chick in the side of the face, another bonked a guy on the head..you can't help but laugh :oP But it got a bit out of hand when one of them threw a glass bottle...

Then finally G.Love (Garrett) and Special Sauce came out, playing their groovilicious tunes! Then Donavon I think and then Xavier ('Look at him go!') He's an awesome one man band with good tunes to dance to (skank to) whatever you feel like. And then finally Jack! With these coolo background photos...looked awesome! (My bro just got home from social basketball- said he played 3 games- what a nutter!) Ah so in love with Banana Pancakes hehe played heaps of his other songs like On and On, Times Like These, Bubble Toes (awesome when everyone sang La da dada da da!!!) Rodeo Clowns, Taylor, Mudfootball and ahh I can't remember anymore but I have to get his new album!!! Such a good night! I recommend you go next time he is here!

Other songs I'm obsessed with at the moment:
Hollaback Girl and Bubble Pop Electric by Gwen Stefani :oP
Scars- Papa Roach
Anything by Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd, Donavon Frankenreiter and G.Love and Special Sauce
Free-Estelle
For One Day-Evermore
Anything by Greenday
School Spirit and Jesus Walks- Kanye West
Porcelain-Moby
Pieces-Sum 41

Simple Things

2005-03-18T16:30:00.000+11:00

Today was nice to say the least, compared to yesterday! Yesterday was a weird moody time for me. Today was awesome! :o) And here's just a few things that happened to me:

1) Walking back to my car after uni had finished. Its a long walk down this neighbourly street next to the train tracks but I don't mind it that much anymore. It's good exercise and with the sun shining and cool breeze blowing its quite nice.

2) On my walk today I came across this kitten whom I have seen a couple of times. He/she is always on the same corner of the street and never runs away when I come walking by. It either continues licking itself or looks up at you and stares as you walk by. Compared to my scaredy cat, this kitten is so placid and cute! Today it was just lying stretched out in the sun with its head on its outstretched paws and didn't even move a muscle when I came by. So cute! It brought a grin to my face :)

3) Sitting at the traffic lights behind a truck and seeing the truck driver singing along to the same music as me! (it was The Weekend by Michael Grey) "I can't waaaaiiit for the weekend to begin!" Haha

4) Having the Macca's people at the drive thru always ask me if I want a 'girl's toy or a boy's toy' with my Happy Meal. Do I look like a fricken boy to you?

5) Finding it entertaining watching a cop pull over people speeding through a school zone whilst I was waiting to pick my brother up. One dude didn't pull over- cop got his rego- that dude is fucked.

6) (This happened on Wed night) Arriving home and getting out of the car after picking up bro from basketball, singing the chorus from 'Holiday' by Greenday really loud, failing to notice a cyclist on the footpath!:-S Cracked up laughing as soon as I got inside! :p

7) Having my mum go 'OoooH Kaajie's up! Hi Kaajie!!' this morning. Because I had to get up early for once for Uni (7:30 :p) and mum and cam never see me out of bed when they leave.

8) I get to colour Bram's hair tonight! Not saying what colour because for some of you its meant to be a surprise and you might read this before you see it! :p Should turn out awesomely and very interestingly!

9) Giggling in my head about how my Business Statistics lecturer's head is too small for his body. He has stocky legs but his upper body is huge- like muscly huge! The guy is a tank. Looks like a turtle lol a really strong-pumped-up-my-biceps-are-too-big-for-my-tshirt turtle!

10) Asking my brother just now if I have done anything stupid today or yesterday. His response: 'Ahh nup. Even better Kirstin, you're not so dumb as before!....*pause* I don't think that will last long!' Lil Jerk!!! :p

Anyways I shall leave you with that. Jack Johnson on Sunday!!! AwEsOmE!!! Illy's and Andrew's birthday parties on Sat night!!! AwEsOmE!!! Catch ya's

Luv Keekswa-Keeks

Disappointing...

2005-03-15T23:34:00.000+11:00

OK so not much happened to me today! Got some petrol from Nick the Caltex boy! I got me a happy meal for lunch (while driving) and the cheap Macca's people have run out of toys so I got the added bonus of a plastic super hero's cup. Joy! Not really but anyway you can't have too many cups. Cups! hahahaha :P sorry about that...inside joke. So yeah I was a good girl and did my marketing tute work all prepared and shit...lucky that, coz I got called on first to read out my answers! So had a good laugh with my friend Sarah in class and yeah skooted off back home after an hour. Ahh its a good life! Hmms I have over 1000 songs in my winamp list now...getting rid of the shit that I don't like any longer. Day off tomoz! Yay! Going shopping with Bram, should be entertaining lol! Rich knows what I mean....I am sooo fun to shop with! :P Had a good speaking to tonight, made me realise a lot of things (you know who you are!) I thank you for it. Keeping it real dude! Hmms well since my bro was on this computer for the majority of this afternoon/tonight, I got the chance to watch a bit of telly. Was planning on watching my fav show Survivor but it hasn't grasped my full attention this year and I therefore found myself watching Dancing With The Stars and seeing Nikki Webster get bad scores Mwahahaha! OC rocks my socks...Seth was funny when he was drunk lol god bless the lil guy! Hehe umms and yeah yar yep nothing else! Bed soonish with music...what shall I listen to? Maybe The Used cd that I found my brother had knicked from me without me realising...lil bugger has had it for a few good months now! Or maybe something a lil less outrageous! Ahh we'll see. I bid thee goodnight!

Ok well as it seems to me (and was also pointed out to me) that my blog has been off on a tangent...no longer has it included funny/stupid/gullible things that have happened to me, but more photos and song lyrics- SLACK! I plan to change this! I promise that by tonight I will write what happened to me today and maybe random days after that. Also a note to my friends who write blogs- don't bitch about other people on a public blog if you don't want them to see it, you'll only cause more problems.

One of my fav songs

2005-03-09T18:16:00.000+11:00

Any Day Now
by Missy Higgins

How long, how long, how long will we take to come undone?
If you know the answer tell me now and I'll write up a calendar for our count down.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?

Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
To me some surprising day, any day now...

How come, how come, how come I'm now on a road holding out my thumb?
If you know my destination please buy me the fastest car and throw me the keys.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?

Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.

'Cos finger by finger we're losing grasp and
I'm questioning the reason why nothing beautiful does last...

Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day,
to me some surprising day... any day now.

Crash Into Me

2005-03-01T19:54:00.000+11:00

Do you ever get that? You find a song, and the first time you hear it, you either fall in love with it or don't like it but listen to it long enough and it grows on you? I'm currently obsessed with 4 songs at the moment, 3 were recommended to me (1 said to be 'my song') and 1 that I have had for a while. Now the thing is, since I like them so much, I have been listening to them over and over and over and over again! This is a good thing and also a bad thing, good as they make me feel good :) bad as I will quickly get sick of them :( I doubt it somehow....but some other song will come along and yeah the process repeats itself. It's nice to have a song that reminds someone of you :) it has meaning then, and is not just lyrics and tunes...except all songs have some sort of meaning, as that is what they were written for.

Hmm so yeah, I love my music. I need it everyday. I listen to it in the morning, on the comp, in the car, at night on my discman....I can't get enough! :P

2005-02-23T23:51:00.000+11:00

Keekswa!!!

Randomness gone crazy!

2005-02-23T23:42:00.000+11:00

Went to Uni today. Got up early like old skool times :P not used to it at all! Ah well, interesting day, made lots of friends, talked to random people, and listened to lots of talks and found out some interesting things like how I have to learn the 'Uni Language' wtf :S "dream on dreamer...." ok random song lyrics will pop up...Sunny Day Real Estate- Seven...love it! Um free barbecue was yum and good! Got a Uni diary finally, and signed up for beach day which will be awesome fun! Hopefully the weather is good and I find some more marketing people...particularly hot marketing guys! hehe nah...oh i was just told to think of Uni as a Fluffy Pink Rabbit..hehe you know who you are too! :P funny random shit...ok this post is getting pointless now..its lost its point, as it usually tends to do, but somehow I think people find this interesting? No..maybe not..Yes? Ok I will stick with yes and let my fingers keep typing whatever junk is going on in my head.."and time goes by sooo slowly, and time can do soo much" Dairy Bell can get stuffed! *Position Vacant at Dairy Bell-casual/part time, to get less than two shifts a week, poor rate of pay, clean clean clean, serve serve serve, management is fucked and strict, 'tie your hair back, don't wear that jewelry, sign the books, don't answer the phone, don't take cake orders, do this do that' expect to be treated as a minor even after 5 years of service...other wise the place is good to eat as much of the product as you want! :P Enjoy!*
"spaceman, i always wanted you to go into spacemaaaaaaaaaan!" WoOoOOT! Cam (my lil 15 year old brother in case you don't know this wonderful creature) is having one of his first co-ed parties on sat night. A couple of my friends and I will be 'supervising' this so called party/gathering lol shall be interesting how things turn out! ;) "closer to the prize at the end of the rope" ok just for the sake of putting it in on purpose.....Shirley Temple, Cookies and Cream, Fluffy Pink Rabbits, Rainbow Elephants and Chocolate Chicken! Ok now i have that outta my system i can continue...with what you ask? I have no idea i'm sorry...i don't know what i am doing except typing...
I love my O's! haha people please do not think i am weird or crazy or on drugs or have drunken to much red cordial...you should be very afraid that this is the real me, the one YOU know! and could be creeping in your front door right now....
nah i am just tired from a BFDO-Big Fweakin Day Out, and work, and hotness from the hot hot sun...that is yellow.
"I need a solution to my pollution, that's in my head, i think about you night and day i gotta get away, your always in my head" my legs hurt..by the way for all those jerks out there that think an ice cream store does not get hot inside....you are VERY VERY VERRRRY wrong! It may seem cooler to you, the public, since you have just walked in from the stinking hotness outside to icey coldness feeling on your skin for 5mins, which if you had bothered to stay for like half an hour, won't seem so icey after all, specially after mopping floors, sweeping floors, attending to customers, standing next to freezers that have motors like heaters in winter! Grrr! So spare a thought for those young girls still working their asses off there now! Haha quit while you can! Ah man enough bitching about my workplace....
My attempt at 10 Random Things:
My cat is fluffy...
Coconut trees are good to climb...
I don't know why I called or spelled my Blog KJ Roxy Gurl...:S
Licorice is yummy
[(I suck at this) it's hard! I dare you to try!]
ok i give up on this...because as Rich has told me before, you can't force randomness...it's just not the same! I agree! Whereas before this attempt...i was typing massively fast without thinking about what i was typing...
I can do cool handwriting on MSN now :P hehe and show you all my talented drawings too! Ahh its a great piece of work. "you move, like i want to, to see, like your eyes do"
Ok enough, enough! I say of this babbly shit...do NOT expect another one of these posts for a berry looong time...sorry to those who now feel a lot dumber from reading this and sorry to disappoint those who like this sort of stuff, and see me make a fool of myself...i shall crawl into a corner and not speak.............for 10seconds :p
Anyways ciao ciao and good night!

Bit of inspiration...

2005-02-09T10:06:00.000+11:00

OK this might be long, but who cares! This is a good pick-me-up if ever you are feeling down. Makes you think how grateful we should be to have what we have.

GEORGE CARLIN POST 9-11 (His wife recently died...)

The paradox of out time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We've conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the days of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember, to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether its family, friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next country, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take out breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people...who cares?

-George Carlin

Awesome times ahead...

Rainy Days

2005-02-01T21:02:00.000+11:00

Argh! For the second time I have to re-write this as I lost everything I bloody wrote before...and it was good too :(

Wow! Nice new colourful Blog! Love it! Was getting sick of the gray colour..boring! Anyways some random notes: I'm currently obsessed with Britney Spears new song Do Something...plz don't bag me! :P I love my new deodorant. It's raining outside but I want thunder and lightning...I love storms!! Um I have lots of bruises on me from pillow fighting!! And OC is on tonight! Yay! :o)

Reading my friend Illy's blog the other day made me think of what I am about to write next.

I love my friends!!! Especially those closest to me...you know who you are! I've been through a lot of crap lately and I owe them all so much, coz they have always been there for me and still are! When my Dad passed away last December it made me realise who my true friends really are. When I was at school I changed friendship groups a lot until I finally felt like I 'fitted in'. At the end of year 12 I knew which friends I wanted to keep in contact with and so my friendship with Ilke, Illy and Ness grew stronger and still does! Ilke I have known since I came back to Melbourne in year 8. We have lotsa memories, from dancing lots, to Moo-Moo and Kiki and getting drunk and crazy car rides! She's lotsa fun! Illy with her outgoing attitude and bitchiness lol (not towards us though!) We always have a laugh! And Ness with her blonde, ditzy personality...she is very smart though! She takes the 'blondeness limelight' off me when she is around hehe! Funny and innocent at the same time! We all get along great and have soo much fun! :o) I'm looking forward to our weekend away at Rye! Then there are the guys that I introduced my friends to, Bram, Rich, Dave and Satha. The whole bunch of us together is crazy times!!! Lots of laughing and squealing!! (mainly me :P) I'm so grateful I have them in my life, cause without them I know I wouldn't be as happy and positive as I am now. Thank you so much guys and gals! Mwah!!!

Ok enough of me being sentimental! Update on what's been happening: Umm yeah we went to Frostbites I think last week...you can check on Illy's Blog coz I am slack..I can't be bothered going into any detail here. We had an awesome time! And yeah Brad was there, we gave him shit then had some more awesome fun! Umm went to Ness's after Nacho's (read Ness's blog) that was awesome fun! And yeah I did flash Nepean HWY I had my bikini on though...lol I'd do it again! :P Ner!! And to rebut what Ness said: I knew the drink didn't fall in...I was trying to make Phil think it did lol :P Went to the drive-in the other night for FREE and saw Alexander. Good movie..bit hard to follow unless you know your history. Saw Alfie as well...cool movie! He's so cute! Gotta love that smile ladies! And Ness was a ditz! She'll never live that down ahaha soz Ness!

I'm finally out of the bras and undies section of Big W! I am now Cosmetics Associate yay! Get to play around with the makeup and try out the new brands, keep everything neat and tidy, do what I want as long as the job gets done and stock gets put on shelves and use the register. It's fun! I used the voice over thing too hehe that was interesting! :S Hmm what else...Oh yeah I have a lot of responsibility in my area, it's only small but I am not allowed to leave it. I have to keep an eye on everyone and everything and help customers. Apparently thousands of dollars worth of stock gets stolen from my area....eeep! 10 minutes into my first shift I see some lady stealing like 20 eye liners! She walked off before I could approach her so I called my manager. Dunno if she got away or not.

Isn't it strange how you have a perception of someone yet they surprise you with something that completely changes your view of them? Two friends of mine have done this to me, and I would never have guessed that they would be like that or interested in these things that changed my view on them. I guess I am a little stereotypical and I hope to stop this. But you don't really know someone unless you get to know them and what they are like. Err babble...

Anyways I think that is enough...can't be bothered writing more...wanna be chatting more! Byes!

Here's a coolo song that I am loving at the moment. It's a pretty positive song I guess and just reminds you that 'The Best Things In Life Are Free'.

Gone
by Switchfoot

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
and upside down

Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don't spin today away, cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge, infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal

Don't say so long, you're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal.

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like Al Pachino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone,
my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.

Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age but do
We know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is more than what we are.

Do you know what you want from life?

I ask, do you? Tough question hey... It's late and I can't be bothered babbling, cause it will be a lot of babble in this state of mind. But I would appreciate some feedback, as I haven't gotten any for a while now :(

On another note: I'm going to have my hair in rags tomorrow so I can look like Shirley Temple.

Hahaha crazy KJ is back with some BITCHIN'!

I am sick of bras and undies and any other 'undergarments' that women have! Err! Imagine sorting, ordering, placing, fixing, sticking, hooking, making-look-pretty every type of bra and undie (oh and don't forget socks!) in a range of brands and colours, sorted by size and colour and type! Phew

Actually there is some nice underwear there...not to mention the little skanky G-Strings they have... :-S Tiny lil G-Strings with diamontes on the back bit, apparently you are meant to pull them up so high, that they are ABOVE your jeans or pants or skirt, so that the diamontes show! Scandal! Maybe its Paris Hilton's fault this craze has come through, for the little skanky sluts so they can be mini porn stars! :P

Last night I went to bed and hit my head...

Today I went to get the train to Uni. I thought I had the correct money (after scamming $4.20 off my brother) for a daily concession zone 1 & 2 ticket. Well I was stupefied to find that I was apparently 10 cents short. So I walk over to Dairy Bell and ask Kirra for 10 cents, and go back to the stupid Met Machine to have it now tell me I am 30 cents short! Outrage!!! Back again to Kirra and back again to Met Machine. I have now missed 2 trains and running late! I finally get to Uni 10mins late and walk into the lecture theatre :P

Since I am on the topic of Uni, I have just enrolled in my subjects and submitted my preferences for times. If I am lucky enough to get my first choices, I shall get Wednesdays and Fridays off! Yay! Timetabling was crazy :S Lucky they have a program that you can muck around with to do a sample one so you can work and see how it will fit in.

I saw 2 people get fined on the trains. Stupid idiots! Would you rather pay $5 or $100? (whatever it is) Hmm, yeah thought so!!!

I was also on the cool new train, with the groovy little push-the-button-to-open-the-door thing...cept I didn't get to push it :(

Ok enough rambling. I shall be off! Till next time peeps!

This is your life...are you who you wanna be?

2005-01-20T16:31:00.000+11:00

Well I was meant to write this a while ago when I had everything in my head at the time, and now I have forgotten some vital stuff...I'll see how I go remembering them.

Last post I wrote I was told was quite different to the other posts, I guess a bit more serious than the silly, random, crazy KJ! Well expect more of that...the serious stuff I mean. I guess this Blog thing is an outlet for whatever I choose to write whether its serious or silly, gets things out of my head and down in words.

Title of this post is from Switchfoot's song- This Is Your Life. Pretty good song..I love them. But the words ask a question that people should ask themselves. Are you happy with yourself? Do you think you could live your life differently? Are you growing up to be who you want to be or are you turning into something you're not?

I'm happy with who I am. I think everyone should. You shouldn't have to put on a facade to hide the real you. You can keep your secrets and dreams inside you, but the rest you should let the world know who you are and what you are about. I have fantastic friends, a loving family and a great life to live. If you don't know already I have always had a very strong positive outlook on life and I disregard people who don't appreciate their life. This strong positive outlook has been fuelled even more by the recent passing of my Dad. I wear two black bands on my wrist, one for my Dad and the other for my Uncle (Dad's little brother) who also passed away, early 2004.

Music plays a huge role in my life. Everyday I listen to it, whether it is the same cd I have listened to over and over again, something old or something new, anywhere, anytime. I need it daily and I listen to it without fail. The best time is at night, I lay in my bed with my discman, and the music helps me think about A LOT! Eventually it sends me off to sleep.

Well today is the day I had to make a huge choice, with regards to my future. I thought I had it all planned out- I was planning on deferring my Uni offer. I got offered my first preference of doing Marketing at Monash Caufield. I was pretty stoked! But before all that happened I didn't think I would get in and I thought if I did, I wanna take a year off and just work and save my money. I'd spoken to heaps of people about this option and they thought it was also a good idea. I mean, I have been at school for 14 years of my life, I need a break, a fresh mind and the motivation to keep going. Yet a phone call from mum today counteracted my aspirations. So thinking about Mum's words (and knowing from the past that I should listen to her, cause she always ends up being right!) I accepted my offer with the notion of knowing that I can defer later on depending how I go. I guess deep down I really wanted to go. But having two jobs is hard but the thought of Uni is exciting...despite from what I have heard. It is a different experience for everyone and you should trust yourself and your gut instinct and not base your decisions on other's bad/good experiences.

Well that said, I'm off on another whirlwind adventure! Gotta get myself organised, go to Smiggle to get lots of cool stationery, buy textbooks and drive myself crazy trying to balance study and two jobs...I think Dairy Bell will get the flick soon enough cause management there is screwed and they can go fuck themselves! LOL

OK I think I have said all I needed to say...maybe you'll cop a crazy post soon enough, cause being serious is quite draining after a while!

Have fun!

2005-01-16T13:47:00.000+11:00

Me on Boxing Day at my Uncle's...after too many tequila slammers! :P

it's all in my head...i think about it over and over again...

2005-01-15T16:10:00.000+11:00

Pasta is yum, specially after its heated up for lunch from dinner the previous night. Tastes awesome!

Got up at 2 today...lil slacker I am, but I was reading in bed so ner! And also thinking....I think too much and I know I am not alone when I say that. I truly hate it sometimes that I think too much...I mean why am I wasting my time thinking about petty things or thinking about other stuff and not getting any answers? It only brings up more questions which, later on, will be thought about again!

But I spose it is good in a way...it's comforting and sometimes I can answer my own questions by going through everything. I know it sounds silly but thinking about stuff can sometimes calm my mind. I can't tell you what I think about, mainly because there is so much and its kinda personal but if you ever got your hands on my diary...

I guess this lets you into my head a bit and what I think about. This blog is like a grain of sand at the beach of the things I think about...maybe that is a bit extreme! But you get the jist.

Yesterday I was doubting myself about who I am and telling my dear friend Illy. I was saying that since I know I am gullible and other people know I am gullible and I am stupid most of the time...why do they like me? She was shocked to hear this and told me straight away that people like/love you for who you are and not something your not, so don't change or stop being who you are. She also said that I am fun to be around and people are drawn to that, and that I am a smart girl and people know that too. I know she is right and I knew everything that she said deep down, but I guess I was just having an odd KJ moment.

Anyways enough of this talk...I'm having doubts about BB. As much as I would love to go on the show I don't think now is the right time. Too much going on my life. Maybe when I watch it this year (if I decide to; I might hate it again) then I will either be glad I didn't go on there because the housemates have to do some ridiculously outrageous challenge OR I will wish I was in there having fun and charming my way to $1 million! (haha Rich)

Well enough said. Might write later. Got my cousin's 21st tonight! Ciao

Songs I'm loving at the moment are Dare You To Move by Switchfoot and Over And Over by Nelly and Tim McGraw.

random thoughts...

2005-01-13T21:24:00.000+11:00

ok people I am going to apply for Big Brother....feel free to laugh right now

I am serious about this...even though my only favourite reality show is Survivor...I used to loathe BB, i have been in the house at Dreamworld and watched a bit of it last year. It doesn't sound that bad. Good experience actually, meet new people and let's people see what I am like 24/7 when they are not around to see me.

I also think I need therapy...

"Sand in my hair!! Argh Dave!" lol can't remember how many times Illy and I said that today! We went to Mornington beach today, on a lil road trip with Rich's older bro Dave.

Was pretty good too! Started off with Illy buying this awesome choc shake from Mentone...mmm yummy! Picked up Dave and off we went playing Destiny's Child (bagging Michelle) and Greenday while burning our butts on the black leather seats!

Finally picked a decent beach and bobbed away in the water for a while. This freaky looking dude was getting a bit too close for comfort and so good ol Davey asked him if he was alright hahaha the guy replied by saying yeah and asked Dave if he was alright. Hmm this guy had like a huge bloodshot eye and looked pretty dodgy...let's move away from him shall we!

We then got some awesome fish & chips! Flakey Jake's it was called...YUMBO! Stupid freakin flies though in the park...damn them. Then on our way back home, getting petrol and of course> the famous Heaven Lemon Gelato!!! :o)

Hung at Rich's house for a bit...the three of us lying in the sun, pointing out random things in the clouds that we made up. Lots of bagging to me and grape squishing into mouths! Eh it gets hard to put up with being so gullible...I wish I could turn it off...I seriously don't mean it. Told ya I've lost too many brain cells!

All in all a fun day! Got a tiny bit burnt but I wore sunscreen THIS TIME!! Have 2 lines under neck on my back from my bikini straps :-S It's still really hot too, I wish a storm would come, or cool change...love listening to the rain at night or having a cool breeze blow through my window.

Anyways gotta skoot! Ciao Ciao

Hehe something I thought I should share with you all that I read off a friend of Illy's Blog...

Is Hell exothermic or endothermic ?

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

sunny days...

Well today was a good day! I walked from a friend's house to Mordialloc beach and back to another friends house! Fair walk...hmm about 7K i think! Lotsa fun and very good company...which I might add I got some good advice off! Thanx champ!

I had the bestest ice cream today as well! A Heaven Lemon Gelato hmmm soo yummy! I recommend them! My feet hurt too, I got drenched haha but sand is a good exfoliator :)

Love the beach...it's an awesome place...ask my friends and they will say I am obsessed! Hehe the beach is like my answer to everything...it's just good for your mind, body and soul I guess. Good to chill out and good to have fun and exercise!

Anyways I shall write about my adventures tomorrow! Ciao Peeps
