On another note, here is a reaaaally old project that me and my friend had to do for uni a few years ago!

http://members.optushome.com.au/kanzaki_manga/site/index_highbw.htm

Linda did the website, and i did the animation.. and Nick kindly did the coding lol. Go to the stories section and there will be linkage to the animation! high bandwidth is the interactive version! Oh view it Internet Explorer...firefox seems to break the page -___-

Hypotheically, if Jamie Oliver were my personal chef.. I'm fairly sure that i would eat ANYTHING that he cooked for me. Anything.

I can say this because i just had a huge dinner, but am growing hungrier and hungrier just watching Jamie cook on tv.

On another note, the marketing people who work for OMO are brilliant. Up till now cleaning product ads have always discouraged dirt and mess. BUT Omo are now encouraging it. It's brilliant... they fool u into dirtying your clothes more, because dirt = fun & life, while at the same time they're increasing sales because people need more detergent to clean their increasingly dirty clothes!!!

i've noticed i'm alot less crazy and alot more rational, compared to the days of old. i wonder if i wore myself out? cos i'm quite certain that i should be on the verge of some sort of crazyness atm, but it feels like there's not enough left to reach the surface! i s'pose this is good news for the general population.

can't wait to get trashed in hunter valley..woooo!

Always always put sunscreen on your ass. Someone remind me of this next time please.

the insanity of parking fines has incensed me enough to actually blog. how fucked up is that?? how the fuck are parking officers able to live with themselves? If i was a huge fucking asshole that cast a shadow the size of the moon over the world, i think i'd have trouble sleeping at night. So i guess it'd be ok if they actually gave me tickets for seriously dangerous or fucked up parking, but "parking near an intersection" WHAT THE FUCK????? and how does that justify a $179 fine?!?! please tell me HOW?!?! ffs i hope they all fall down dead from rabbies.

It's so true that weather makes a difference to your mood. The recent beautiful weather has been seriously uplifting. The other day i found myself driving my car, listening to michael buble, admiring the awesome weather and feeling about a billlion times happier than i have in ages. It was insane, but in a good way.

PS: i like this photo of me and the Betty. It looks like she's my gf! :D

kath + indoor soccer = a sprained ankle....
that'll teach me to tackle a guy twice my size >_<

in other news, i love melbourne. i want to move there! Good food/shopping/coffee..what more could u need??

it's fucked how you can be so set on cynicism, and fully identify with a movie (this time it was before sunset, the sequal to before sunrise) then have the movie end on a positive note, and you realise your still the same retarded romantic you always were.

Before Sunrise was alot more hopeful and romantic, but ended on an up-in-the-air unfinished note.
Before Sunset was alot more cynical and less optimistic, but ended on a positive unfished note.

I liked Sunset better cos it was more attuned to what i'm feeling now, but then i realised that maybe i liked it better because the ending was more positive and less undecided. blegh.

Tonight (or last nite) was a good nite. Habib's & aghili with good company for the win. But now i can't sleep. I hate when u wake up in the middle of the nite to pee and u can't sleep again..not to mention period pain..grrr.

So much relationship drama going on to ppl around me these days. It never seemed so overwhelming before.. It's like once you have a major relationship drama, it seems to all go downhill and then everyone's relationships seem to be turning to shit. Either that or i'm just hangin out with the wrong people. It's such a deterrent... I just want simple un-complicatedness. is that too much to ask? boy likes girl, girl likes boy, FULL STOP. ahh how nice would it be to be that naive again. it'd be tops i reckon. i miss crushing on someone. it seems i am incapable now. Cynicism sucks, but it seems to be the only thing keeping me sane. And i vote yes for sanity.

i've been asked why i'm such a bitch (now :P), and that is my answer. relationships.

in other news, i'm ashamed to admit that i actually watch big brother, and was shocked when two guys got kicked out for some alleged sexual harassment. I wanted to know so badly what happened i actually went to a forum to find out. So anyway there was debate on this forum as to whether what happened was actually sexual harassment and grounds for eviction, but i think it was.

Apparently what happened involved two guys and one girl. I think they were all muckin around/ maybe drunk. Then one guy held the chick down while the other whipped out his penis and whacked her in the face with it. Now if that's not sexual harassment i don't know what is. Cos she obviously wasn't cool with it. I know i wouldn't be.

ps. I am on a mission NOT to use my credit card for the next 2 weeks on anything except petrol and possibly food. Necessities only dammit!! >_< These $600-700 bills are killing me!!!

Wouldn't it be mad if you were just certain of yourself all the time? I hate uncertainty, but at the same time i hate being tied down and committed to just one thing. Everything is such a balancing act these days.. it's so tiring and annoying. Friendship, relationships, grades, money, work, socialising, everything!!!

It'd be nice to know that whatever you were doing, you were confident that it was the right thing to do, in just the right amount.

I dunno.. sometimes i think... 'i wish i had morals again'. Not that i don't, i just find them sliding nowadays. But then again, i am enjoying where i am at the moment, so can it really be that bad? And then i think, it's just society urging me to think that way..but is it? Also, i find myself slipping into the 'one of the boys' category, and it's nice cos i dun hafta care so much about superficial shit. But then again, i would say i am fairly superficial, so it'd be nice to be girly once in a while and not feel weird about doing it. It's funny how you can dislike attention and crave it at the same time. Though i suppose it depends what kind of attention is being given.

So... balance.. that's what it all comes down to i reckon. I wish i could balance my lazy ass out, and that summer would balance this bloody cold winter out because i miss the beach and not having to wear fifty million layers.

... my hair weren't in such a dismal state, it would be a very good week! Silly me.. got bored and decided to cut my fringe.. needless to say it didn't turn out so great >_< Bran's hysterics at the sight of it are all the backing i need for that statement.

But onto BETTER news, i got the Myer job!! FINNNALLY. When all hope was lost they finally called me up today to let me know =D Too bad they're discontinuing staff discounts..BOOO :( But money is money! And now i can go on holiday without an overwhelming sense of guilt for spending money i don't have XD

Another highlight of the week would be my 'human computer interaction' exam at....INTENCITY XD heheh we got to play all the games for free for 2 hrs, while also evaluating how well they were designed and their usabliity etc. heheh best exam EVER.

It seems like i've been pretty busy lately..with uni assignments, work and going out. And you'd think a day off... that day being today, would be a welcome relief. But u thought wrong! i wake up and i'm totally bored, from the very second i wake up. And when i'm bored i tend to get a bit depressed....especially when i start lookin at pretty spencer & rutherford wallets, which i can't afford and listening to slow rnb =( also i miss the feeling u get when ur in a happy relationship. this song puts the happy feeling into words more eloquently than i can. I especially like the line "heaven makes sense, and all the words rhyme".

so what to do to get these angsty thoughts from devouring my brain? i went back to sleep XD i find the sleep remedies that pesky thinking.

unfortunately bran woke me up from my angst free slumber, but quickly righted this by suggesting a coffee/brownie run to maccas! Oh friends. i have a joyous announcement. Maccas have introduced the Triple treat choc brownie...or sth, and it ROCKS. It's like... a warm brownie covered in a choc sundae!!! Oh chocolate my saviour. Maccas: Best idea EVARRRRR.

PS: working doesn't seem to = saving. Boooooo.

So if u know me u know i love to shop. I also enjoy a good drop of alcohol now and then =P BUT when u combine these two, you get the most awesome night in the entire universe!!!

Me, Mel and Bran went late night shopping on thurs at sydney central plaza for various bday pressies... and some personal shopping as well, when we were pleasantly surprised to find that from 6-9pm most of the stores had 15-20% discount AND the centre was serving FREE champagne!!!! Shopping + Alcohol OMFGZ! We had a bout 5-6 glasses and were quite smashed during our lil shopping expedition. Shopping while drunk is most definitely classified on the fun side. Hopefully this will become a regular event!!! (more fotos courtesy bran)

i just watched "she's the man". romantic/comedies FTW!  i forgot how much i love them ^^
and i get to work this week! 3 hrs paid work?! omgz this week rocks!!

It's week 5 already WTF?! Assignments rolling in and me staying up late to do work..all bad signs indeedy. But smoochy photos OWN all ----->

Was talking to mel today and she said sth i found funny. She said sth along the lines of "everyone's such a bad ass now!!". And i guess that's pretty true. What with all the smoking and the drinking and the smoking of other more potent substances, are we all turning into bad-asses?? Or are we just jaded/bored/looking for a kick? In any case, apple tobaccy rocks my socks. It's like smoking apple flavoured air!!!! You too can smoke without the nasty burn of normal tobacco =D *points at you*

Nick also made a comment at K which made me think..he said "omg so much emo punk rock!!".At the time i was like pfft...cos we had only sung like two emo-ish songs...but i was chillin out and actually listening to the lyrics of my music, and i realised my play list is quite jam packed with said emo punk rock -___-

Examples:
Simple Plan - God must hate me
Blink 182 - down
My Chemical Romance - I'm not okay

But then again... i also have jessica simpson on my play list..so i think that counteracts just about everything.

On another note, for those who have seen me in person with curly hair... do you think i should curl it permanently?? brilliant idea? tragic mistake? shower me with your words of approval... or lesser-approval.

i was kinda bored today and was rummaging around through the spare closets to see how much spare space there was and if i could chuck anything away..and i stumbled across THE cutest dress ever!! I think it was my mum's or my aunties and is definitely from an era from before i was born or could walk. I was so excited by it i tried it on...

My bubble was burst however when i quickly discovered that i would need to be a fair bit taller and a WHOLE lot skinnier to pull off this dress =(

*sigh... it was a nice dream while it lasted.

i want to go back to japan. 

Apparently this is what the universe has decided in regards to me and sleep. It's like we're two lovers meant to be together, but our families just don't understand and are adamant on keeping us apart. WHY?! Don't hate on young love, please Universe! IT MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND!!!!!!

As u can see... i am lacking sleep. To make things worse some bastard decided it would be fun to throw a few mozzies into my room, and watch them devour/have their way with me.

People keep asking me whether i miss Japan..or if i like it better here. And i haven't really been sure, but i think i can safely say i am more happy now that i'm back home. How do i know this u ask?? Because i'm not posting in my blog like every hour due to depression or boredom. While i miss Japan, i think no place feels better than where your friends are at. And when is anyone truly satisfied anyway?? I for one, am never satisfied i've realised.

In other news.. I GOT A JOB!! WoOOOooooooo. And it is a sweet uni job =) This translates into MAD pay. Altho it is very casual atm, and it's limited to 12hrs a week and i dun start till next month...so i am applying at my local menai Civic video. If i get the job.... RENT YOUR VIDEOS FROM MENAI CIVIC VIDEO!! Heck rent from menai civic anyway, cos they seem like nice ppl, even tho their shop smells like subway.

also i am having trouble deciding on which lipgloss to buy. THIS PLACE is selling Lancome Juicy tubes for $19!!!!! That's like Less than half price!!! So i am tossing up between Melon and Lychee.... tho even if i buy them both it's cheaper than buying ONE for the RRP. Yea that's right, i'm down with the sales lingo yo.

went to betty's to make mad food for her bday.. pesto pasta and bruschetta. only downside is my fingers now smell like garlic even tho i washed them 50 million times >_<

on another note it seems like i'm addicted to coffee... either that or bran. possibly both. and potentially smokes, but i put a stop to that. i really need to stop all these bad habits.

so anyway here's a photo i taxed from someone of ppl @ betty's. who knew so many ppl would fit into one apartment!

omg i finally have a good 7 hrs to chillax! the past day or so has been especially hectic, with the canceling of phones, paying bills, posting boxes, returning various shit to uni etc..and the aftermath of Tokyo in the form of unpacking and repacking so that my bags don't explode. I actually had to go get another big box to mail more stuff home, so i don't go over my 30kg limit >_< While i was carrying my massive box to the post office, my arms pretty much died on me and this old lady had to help me carry it. I was like THANK YOU LITTLE OLD LADY!! She actually took the WHOLE thing off me and carried it half way, i felt so bad and slightly weak, but grateful all the same XD

So Tokyo was uber good times indeed. I thought i would be more excited when i saw the guys/gal but apparently not. Not that i wasn't excited..but u know.. it just felt like normal, and not like i hadn't seen them in a year! Hooray for non-awkwardness!

Highlights of Tokyo:

- Cheese Toast

- Calbi Soup

- Everyone catching a cold and/or diarrhea, and passing it back and forth all day long.

- Everyone eating the shit out of everything, in spite of the above. (thank god for japanese cleanliness and its abundance of public toilets)

- Me succumbing to peer pressure and smoking a cigarette. In my defense it was only a 1mg, and was only for practice purposes. I did not crumble to Kev peer pressuring me into smoking jase's 20mg marlboro "lights".

- The boys TRYING to smoke a Cuban..then Wing crushing it with her ass.

- Going to Hakone, and not leaving our hotel rooms for 2 days, except to bathe. NOT EVEN FOR FOOD. Except the occasional haagen daaz/peanut run to the vending machine.

- Kev's rendition of "Smooth".

- Pimpin Hats.. when someone else eventually uploads their fotos this will make sense.

- The HOT german guy at the hotel...He dazzled Wing with his smile... i was not so lucky =(

- Finally getting simultaneously drunk with Bran.

- Being able to hear the boys/girls in the next bathroom at hot springs and thus thinking that the other was in the wrong bathroom. Consequently leading to this conversation:

(Note: THere is a change room b4 u go into the bathing area, and this is where i thought the boys were and vice versa.)

Me: Oi ur in the wrong bath!!!!! Ur in the women's bath!! GET OUTT we're NAKED!!

Jase: what?!! no were not, YOU'RE in the wrong bath, U get out first cos WE'RE naked!!!

Me: U idiot, how are we sposed to get out when ur in our change room!!!!

Then it dawned on us that we could just hear each other thru the massive air vent in the ceiling -____-

Anyway that's all i can remember. Oh and like..OMG I'm back in Oz in less than 48 hrs!!
