Weekend

Having a great weekend so far. I went and saw pineapple express yesterday. It totally rocked. I want to see it again.

Supposed to be

Cleaning the house. But I haven't gotten very far. So far I've managed to avoid it by having a couple of wines at work then heading out for a Magherita pizza (my fav) now I seem to be on the computer! What am I like! It's 7 degrees outside so it's kinda chilly. Today I went to the markets to get my fruit and vege. I know I've said it a lot, but I really LOVE going to the market at lunch. I got racked off at a girl though at work because she told us before we went out for lunch that it was "beautiful" outside only for both of us to go out there and freeze our asses off because we didn't bring enough layers. We were both so pissed by the time we got back to work. I've got to get all my stuff ready for my accountant tomorrow. I hope I can find everything. When I got home and checked the letterbox, there was a handbook on Drugs, just say no! I haven't read it yet. I doubt if I will. It hardly applies to me. Alcohol and caffeine are my choice of drugs and I don't even do those very often. Did you know that they have a New York for Dummies book. Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to read that! But I have slight confession to make whilst I am typing this. I think I am starting to slip into my non eating ways again. At the moment I have a plan and I think I may need some professional help. Seriously, a 31 year old that doesn't like eating (I tend not to stick labels on it - I mean I love food but I just don't like to eat it all that often. I only like to eat on social occasions - well really only Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I can't afford to slip back into my old ways. But the thought of being 49kg just simply excites me. While I am at confession time, I confess that I like to watch Monk. I would also like to confirm that I don't really like that guy that guy. I also have a hair dresser story but at this stage it's getting too late to type it. I mean, I should be cleaning. Let's say, it's just made me realise how much I love a mans man. That's why I really dislike Melbourne in all honesty. For that main aspect. I love burly men and all I am surrounded by are vain metrosexuals where I'm sure I would have more guts than them. Seriously, who can find that attractive. I wish I could start a campaign, bring back the tradies!!! Gosh most of them are just so hot.

Righty-o like

I've just come home from work. I was very thankful it had stopped raining and started as soon as I got inside. It is about 8.5 degrees at the moment and in the house it's 12 degrees thanks to my lovely weather station that I got for my birthday. I've been spending a lot of money lately which is really stupid because I can't afford to. Today, I purchased a morphine generation top which I saw it immediately and was like yes that's me. I got it in a baggy size because tight t-shirts are just a bit lame. You can't quite tell the colours I guess as my bedroom has bad coloured lighting with those silly energy lights and the cream walls!

I have also been spending a bit of my time at T2. This week I purchased a tea infuser, china jasmine tea, jasmine green tea (organic), early grey tea, french early grey tea and english breakfast. Gosh I love their teas. There are better tea shops out there but they are too expensive.

I got a few comments good ones about my hair today so that was good. I don't want to spend that kind of money for nothing!

Then I also added to my hello kitty collection. Currently the only 2 items I have are:

But now I have added these two bags:

Here's another shot from the Eureka tower taken with my sony w910i camera phone.

Hair dresser

I've just had my MOST expensive trip to the hair dresser. $275 and that did not include any products or hair styling accessories. Just some bleach and a cut... the chairs though when you were getting your hair washed were massage chairs which were brilliant. And despite it costing that much, I was the most relaxed I've been in ages. The only problem is that I now have to get some new products (more deniro) and also, next time I am not getting a cut but a full head of foils... more $$ and I've already added to my monthly expenses by adding a 80$ monthly waxing figure. Shivers. I'm going to have to do some very creative accounting.

Oh gosh, something happened over the past week. I don't want to talk about it but I am just wondering what to do about it. I'm very blah about the whole thing. Just so you know, I have issues.

Eureka

Well, my birthday has been and gone. But I had the chance to go to the best ever tourist attraction I've ever been to. And here it is:





I picked the perfect time as it was still light but within 20 minutes the lights were on in the city. It was great. The Edge experience which costs an extra $12, is a 4.5 minute piece of fun. You line up, put on booties, but your bags away in a room then step in to the Edge. The Edge then moves out 3 metres. At this stage, the frost is on the glass. The glass is making a cracking noise. The sound effects of the cube moving is thunderous and even though I'm not nervous, my heart starts to beat and I wonder what I've got myself in to - the cube moved once to on the side so I thought oh if it rocks side to side, I'll definately be sick! But we get out, then the frosting comes off the glass and it's an amazing view. It's amazing anyway without doing the Edge experience, but I feel it's something you should do at least once. We then each pose for photos. Of course, I got a photo printed which is $15 with additional prints 10.00 and of course, it has a crazy pose. It was hands down the best ever night view I have seen in a city and i will definately go back every few months.

Even the lift to get up to the 88th floor was only 38 seconds. 9 meters every second. My ears popped twice on the way down and back up but you couldn't feel at all the lift jerking, the ride was good.

oh Boy!

I'm starting to really dislike this city I moved to. My tonsils are now swelling which means I have been sick since the end of May. Give me a break for creeps sake. I need to go to thailand for some sun. Bah humbug.

Rain fall from concrete coloured sky

That’s it. I’m having to trash all my songs on my ipod because boys stink. Some of my music I just can’t listen to. Poor sophie, I cannot listen to her at the moment. So I now need to trash most of my playlists and put on some happy upbeat tunes as well as some life sucks tunes and some NZ oldies.

I’m definitely going to start with Together in concert with Bic, Dave and Tim Finn. Oh I just managed to find a mini playlist which I’ve already created which pretty sums up my state of mind at present:
Missing – Everything but the girl.
Milk – Garbage
Where’d you go – Fort Minor
Clumsy – Fergie
Sonnet – The Verve

Crowded House will just have to stay on my ipod as will Armand van Helden, but I might have to put some Laura Pausini on it. With all the rain today, I got up and was so grumpy. It’s supposed to rain all week so I hope I can cheer up a bit. Definitely some Hed Kandi love sucks tunes will help. On a brighter note, I have a new friend. It’s a man, he’s 26. He’s from somewhere like Bahrain. Nothing romantic in it at all, we are just friends. So that’s good. I can’t tell you how relieved I am that I can finally start living because I don’t have any exams left. But I have so many bugs I just want to go back to the gym. I’m at least allowed to have one unhappy week! Let it RAIN! (oh don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad enough to listen to Alanis morisette or Alice n chains !!)

Take me back home

I woke up in a good mood. I still feel somewhat asleep, but when I got in and found all the work that people had assigned me, I just want to turn back and head straight home.  Help me because I don't want to be here today. I really want to scream from the top of my lungs Fk this sks.

Time check - it's only 8:40am and I'm in a great mood. I've got so much energy today, the dance music is on and I'm currently seat dancing on my swiss ball. I think I have recovered well from my 2 day illness. But today, still a bit tired, I feel like going out and dancing. I'm actually having a birthday lunch today so my ride will be here at 10am. I am to have a shower, but I'm not going to style my hair, I'll just put it up. But damn, my body feels great it's all waxed and I can't believe how it automatically just makes me feel alive every morning. I've missed this feeling. Hed Kandi is really doing it's bit in my house hold today. I'm getting some mullah' (in an aussie twang) for my birthday. I was thinking of a new apple keyboard, but i might also get myself a subwoofer for my computer. Then I can really enjoy myself :). At the moment I'm listening to Base Ibiza 2004 - it's brining back memories and also reminding me that I have about 1 year till my next international holiday when I visit my friends in Italy. Gosh I miss them. The other night I met some English students. It's really nice to be around young people again because you don't have to care about pretentious twats, you can just go out and party. There was this HOT japanese guy as well. There were other hot guys, but this Japanese guy was SO hot. I'm going to make sure that I don't keep going for the same type of skinny runty guys. I was thinking about it yesterday. I have only (and we are talking relationships here not 1 night stands or anything) had a relationship with 1 guy who has had a body and not been mr skinny, I may be a little bit toned but mostly skinny. What's up with that. But it will be funny, lets see what I'll get next. If it is more of the same, I'll hang my head in shame.

that guy that guy

I feel a bit disenchanted. I meet up with “That Guy” last night and it was awesome. He loved the waxing, and he just feels great. But I don’t like me the next day. I think I am a cold person. But also, yesterday I was vomiting. Today I feel really awful and my face looks pretty bad. But even though I had a great time with That guy and I’ll see him again. It’s just booty. But it’s given me some harsh realisations about myself. I do seem cold. I’m not a very warm person some times. I’m just like give me a call and that’s it. It’s like I’m a different person. I hope I don’t vomit today. I can feel it coming on.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide, I'm about to loose control and I think I like it..like it!

Gosh, I'm starting to get excited again about seeing that guy tomorrow night.  I've made sure I've got plans from 6pm – 8pm so that if he doesn't get here until 11pm, at least I'll be entertained.  All these silly thoughts are going through my mind.  As I've said before it's either going to be brilliant like last time or it will be a flop. So I'm just relieved - by Saturday morning I will wake up and then will know either way. If it doesn't work out I can just put it behind me and not worry about things.  There is also a chance he will not turn up. A slim one I'm hoping but it's still a possibility.  I managed to cut my finger with a knife this morning so it's looking pretty unattractive. I'll have to make my hands look more attractive to compensate!  The only person I've told is my brother. I told him it was my first date since I've been here, chuckle chuckle! Then I started thinking is it a date. Well, it must be a date if he says he's in town do you want to catch up.  I don't know him that well so I was just told 1 person oh a friends coming down then manage to dodge any questions they had about it.  I hope he looks like how I remember him. You know how sometimes time goes by and then you make them look hotter than they actually were. That has only happened to me a couple of times well maybe only once. 

 

Last night I did a hair mask knowing that tomorrow my hair will be all gay from sleeping. So tomorrow will be a very long day if I have to get up and wash my hair I take like 45 minutes including 30 mins blow drying and if I need straightening time. I've also got a doctors appointment at 8:45am, so I have to leave home before 8am. I might get a train around 7:45.  I've been having really active dreams over the past couple of nights. One night I woke up and my earring had come off and this morning I had a scarf around me.  Very strange, but these things happen. 

 

Gosh, last's train journey was a nightmare.  As soon as I got on it stunk of vinegar and the guy next to me was eating chips with vinegar.  Then this fat lady who tried to push past me, no fat lady – that doesn't work around here, sat next to me. Her lardy arms draped all over my body I felt quite violated.  To make it worse, she was ugly. 50 years old (or maybe older, I'm just guessing), bleached blonde hair, long and wavy, a pointy noise, dark dark circles under her eyes, silver rings and gary purple painted finger nails. That little fatty had never heard of aging gracefully.  She was even carrying 2 pizzas with her.  This little piggy had 2 pizzas and this little piggy had none.  She kept tossing her hair around me thinking she was really cool and I was almost laughing at one stage and was thinking to myself, should I tell her that no-one has ever told her that you can't be blonde forever……. 50 ewwwwww

Beautician

I'm so excited, in a few hours I will a waxed muff. If that guy doesn't end up coming, at least I will still have given myself a birthday gift!

Gosh I feel horrible today.  I could almost fall asleep after a night of sleeplessness. I look really bad too!! And I have a few things to get done tonight. I hope I fully wake up at some stage

Anxious...

I'm starting to get nervous. The nerves are creeping in.  The reason why I'm nervous is that firstly, I don't know what time he is arriving. The next thing is that I can't really make any plans if I don't know what we are going to do and what time he will arrive. I have started to get some ideas just in case.  I don't know many places here because I don't go out really.  I don't want to go to a date date place. I want to go somewhere hip, upbeat and fun just so that we can have a good time but also if it does get intimate it can. I would really like it to be fun and not a stuffy date type situation. I know a great Japanese restaurant which is something different so I might organise dinner there. I checked out different airlines to see when he may arrive (it's the cheapest form of transport so I would imagine he would be flying). I would also imagine he would be going to work that day so he may not leave until after work and he doesn't know that I no longer live in the city so I may have to stay at work for a few hours. I can't believe I'm doing this, checking out all the airlines to see what time he might be coming aRGH this is so shameful! There is even a qantas flight that goes at 8pm and lands at 10:05. I might go home if that's the case and come back in to the city later. Though it seems like an awful hassle. I'll probably go drinking by myself in the city instead :). And if it gets in at 10:05, then he has to make his way from the city. So that might be 11pm. ARGH. I hope he lets me know before Friday. I don't want to have to bring in my make up and stuff and then have to go back home again. Last time he let me know at 2:30am.  Just as long as it's before 7:30am Friday I'll be happier at knowing that. Boy I hope this works out!!! And it can't be a business trip all I can think of is that he is following his AFL team around which means I know what city he is coming from. But we'll see. You can tell I'm going to work myself up about this can't you!!

Getting ready for the guy visit

Today I felt ever so proactive. I went and got some new tights so that I could wear them on Friday. I booked in to have a hollywood brazilian wax and also 1/2 leg wax. I've organised my injection appointment for Friday and Thursday night will be the final time to groom myself. Gosh, I hope he does come. I think he is actually following his AFL team around. But here's my issue today. The phone that I had dropped in water (the new one arrived today) it died. Now it has his number on it and it wasn't on my SIM card so I've ever so worried that I won't be able to resurrect it. There are certain ways I can but I need to back up the data not flash the darn thing!!! I've left it on the charger and 3 doesn't provide you with a listing of the numbers you have SMSed which I think is pretty darn shite. I used to always get my vodafone numbers from my bill when this type of thing happened. Either way I need to get it asap. I will be worried until I get it working again. He was going to let me know about his flight so I might just wait and see. But I still need to get the other numbers off there!!!

Readings

The other day whilst rummaging around on the Internet, I saw a free psychic report that you could get. Now of course, this was going to be a chance where if you wanted more information there would be a charge, but I had nothing much to do and couldn't sleep so I sent away for it. I supplied my first name and also my dob.

The information I got back was pretty correct but I don't need to know the finer details about it all so I thought I would leave it at that and plus, while it seemed pretty darn straight, I don't just give my money away!!

Here are just a few snippets of what it said:
"Indeed I have just discovered that not only you were soon to live through an event of great astrological importance but also that you were going to blessed with a period of chance and opportunities.
a Transit period is on the way and you are perfectly positioned to get the very best out of the opportunities it is set to bring
You can expect some very positive changes on a professional level and most particularly as far as your job is concerned
This is going to be a very active time for you on many different levels but this is even more true for your love-life.
This is all about an encounter, or even a date, which will be just the beginning of a passionate relationship.

And so further into the reading:
You are in a period in your life when you ask yourself an awful lot of questions on many different levels, notably because you take into account that many things seem to be going faster than before.
Even if thinking about all this tends to push you into a very nervous state (as occurred not so very long ago), you know that you need to evolve in order to feel more satisfied and content. You need to deal with the hard shell which you have had to develop over the years
Here's the bit that really made me laugh because it's SO true:
As far as your relationships with men are concerned, you will notice that you do not always attract the type of man that you really appreciate. Older men are often attracted to you and I know that you have an ideal man in mind and that these suitors do not fit the bill.
I can see that you are a woman of principal; courageous and valiant. You have a very strong spirit and you are not going to be confined by life's limitations. As far as your personality is concerned you are intuitive or psychic to some extent and you are aware that you have been given certain talents... very special talents, unique only to you, and while you have known of these abilities you haven't fully acted on them now, have you ? (We all know what that means... and it's true)
As far as your relationships with other people are concerned, you often put other people's needs ahead of their own, especially those of their family and close friends.

That Guy is back

My mum has been over and this week my Dad is coming over in time for my birthday. But this morning I received a text which pretty much made it the highlight of my day. Now today I had an exam which I aced so that was fine but after the 1.5 hours of reading this text message my mind started to wonder………and this was before the exam.

Here is my rollercoaster:
So you may remember that there was this guy a while ago who doesn’t live in the same city as me and till this day I just think he’s probably the best male I’ve met in a long time. And for me this is crazy because it was a one night thing but as I do, managed to stuff it up to a point the next morning. I acted like a totally different person but he wanted my number and I thought OK. I don’t normally bother giving them anything the next day! And I said a bonehead thing at the elevator and saw the look on this face and thought Oh shivers. I’ve just ruined it. Anyway, I wondered and wondered and wondered if I’d ever hear anything from him and while I could relate him to a few Armand van Helden tracks. I didn’t hear from him. I kept going through my mind to remember anything I could about him. I met him late at night and was out with an old man I used to work with. Well, it was one of those like no, he’s too good looking, is he looking at me. I haven’t met many men in this city I actually like so for me it was a bit strange. I had been out for hours, drinking, dinner, drinking. While he told me he didn’t think I’d had much to drink (thank god) I couldn’t remember anything about him. What his name was anything at all. I remember we danced to Getting Jiggy with it (that song has never been the same since), I remembered we had this funny moment with Crowded House in bed and that the night was quite passionate and I had immediately felt so comfortable with him. I didn’t have his name or details so I had no way of getting in contact with him and I so badly wanted to. And now this morning, he is available tonight and Friday. Which is brilliant. I can’t do today as I’m getting the house ready for dad, but I’ve already advised people that Friday night is out. Gosh, I hope I stay with him on Friday.

But now I’m on a rollercoaster. For the first 1.5 hours I was jumping around the house so excited. You couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Then, I was thinking, oh how much can he remember of me and how many other girls were there that week. Just stupid things are going through my head. This is a big change for me because for him I’m willing to actually put myself out there and if it results in me getting my heart crushed or just generally looking more stupid than I do, I’m ready for it. I can’t wait to see him again. But he may also have a girlfriend and just doing the out of town thing. I am hoping something definite will come out of it this time. Whether it’s what was I thinking about all this time, he’s nothing much or OMG I am so crazy about him at least I will know instead of me thinking oh he never called. But on the positive, he is in the city and wants to meet up. I don’t really know what his plans are, but I might book a restaurant just in case. What’s funny is that I lost a whole load of weight and have put half back on so I’m hoping to be a decent size when he sees me however he won’t really notice I guess because that was ages ago and I was the size I am now really. Like 6 months. I hope something good comes out of this. But I’ll guess you’ll be hearing about it this Saturday. If anything, at least he will have given me a smile throughout this week just waiting with excitement. And I really am excited. I just can’t wait. It would be awful if he was like yes, I’m happily engaged, but just wanted to catch up. Then I know I shouldn’t have bothered haha.

I’m extremely aware that I’m over thinking this whole concept and that it’s just a female, male issue. But I rarely meet people I like. The last time I was this interested in someone it was 3 years ago and while he turned out to be a Jack***, I put the effort in. Jees, I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. What kind of people have I been hanging out with. As my recent lecturer told me I needed to get a life and hopefully now I can! The fact that he lives in a different city is totally cool as well.
