A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING
yep, that would be wednesday and thursday. i worked and ran errands [like food for the pool party] exciting stuff, no?
POOL PARTY
I really enjoyed myself, i hope everyone else did too. It was nice to see sam and ange again - though i'm afraid i didn't talk to them all that much - and i actually broke even with all the food. bonus that :P sooo much fish and chips though. well, chips, potato cakes, dim sims, batter chips and one chico/spring roll-like concoction. Dan, Nina and Ben were all no-shows for some reason though. sigh. I grumble at them all, some notification is nice if you're going to pull out of something. (><)
but apart from that i was happy, chatting with jay d was entertaining, and the various other people i talked to. ditto to rubble, that's always fun lol. and that night i went to scott's little gathering. drinking of straight kahlua-imitation stuff and the playing of various consoles. i ended up over-tired and ick [not much fun at all] but earlier in the night it was fun.
AUSTRALIA DAY
I think my song came 13th? Can't remember, and i was working 3 til close anyway. a very entertaining shift. ridiculously busy? yes. power failure during peak? also yes. we tried to stop new people coming into dining room so we could clear it out [the front tills were screwed up and the door kept locking itself] but the people inside kept letting the people outside in. (><)
it was cleared eventually though, and everyone must have thought we were closed because for the last hour and a half we had 3 customers. work without customers is a thing of awesome.
also: apparently lowanna kids have been swimming in our pool. mum's determined to "catch the little bastards" and complain to the school. dad wasn't surprised, and not all that upset.
oh, and using the petty cash we all got frozen cokes from maccas... heheh.
TO THE MELBOURNE-A-MATORIUM
A very yummy focaccia lunch at the southgate foodcourt and a visit to the market there. so many shiny things :O i wish i had money. we wandered around for a little while, went to DFO and a few random stores. James bought the fullmetal movie. then to melbourne central to use my two hoyts director's suite tickets. we saw juno, [not recommended, it went from very funny to very serious too often and too quickly. hire it out] and drank cocktails and split an entre in our recliner chairs. it was a nice night, just not a great movie. sweeney todd wasn't on :(
We headed to James' sister's place after that. much wandering between tram stops due to some terrible directions... but we got there eventually lol. we watched the last set of the tennis with Shelley and Damien, that was entertaining. it was a good game from what i saw. very deuce-y. [heheheh... juicy] i also slept like a rock, a wonderful change.
BIG DAY OUT
Poor Alistair was there ridiculously early [his sister was working in merchandise and he came with her]
but James and I commuted and ended up arriving about an hour before it officially started, a little more maybe. I was impressed by how efficient they were, once we started moving we really moved quite quickly. We were split up into lines to have our tickets [and metcards earlier, i heard a few fare-evaders trying to weasel their way out of it] checked. we also got 'drinking age verified' band things. :D

Wasn't really interested in any of the merchandise and we wandered around for a bit at first. lilyworld was funny, so many cardboard box contraptions. including a tank and awesomely hug skeleton box people. we missed the box wars though, probably not by long i think. it was also a drinking area. the barcardi cocktails were nice and we got to keep the cups *cheers* i love free stuff. speaking of free stuff... tetley must have been a sponsor. i had 10 mini cups of free red tea. we and s
ome randoms posed in a photo for the silly red tea people. very nice stuff, and cold. i like cold also. they had a mist/spray thing nearby too, and a jungle-themed mini obstacle course. i laugh. the pole-dancing robots were rather uninteresting though. who would have thought?

the market was also visited [much wishing for money again. cutest apple top - wrong size :( ] and we did a quick survey to procure more free stuff. two condoms, a chuppa chup, a bottle of water and more sti pamphlets. YAY! my chuppa chup was mango flavour. the condoms don't appear to be flavoured though... stingy people. we also met up with maddy and emily at various points throughout the day too.
and in case you haven't realised, this isn't chronological. bands seen/heard [asterisks = briefly] were:-
British India*
Gyroscope*
Gyroscope*
Regurgitator
Grinspoon - probably my favourite
Bjork* - one song, she freaks me out. where the hell is the tune?
Rage Against the Machine* - James liked them, i didn't mind them but found the tree people more interesting.
LCD Sound System* - only heard one song but they seemed pretty goodSarah Blasko - a nice way to end the night :)
pretty sure that's everyone, we heard a few randoms too as we walked around.
I was up to 'today' and just realised i missed mentioning silverchair. god, my bad. they were pretty good too but we were sitting together [all of us] in the shade and i was pretty tired/distracted/zoned-out. kind of a pity that, but they were good, and they made good background music. i zoned in occasionally and sang along but i think James enjoyed them more than me, he was paying attention.
When i say the tree people - since i know you're curious - i'm referring to those who, whilst in trees from the last of bjork and the start of rage etc., had
many bottles thrown at them. very entertaining to watch. this was also occuring during a side show involving lightening, it was probably very cool up close but not all that great when i could only see it when james lifted me. so yes, tree people were entertaining. as were those who climbed random speaker(?) scaffolding stuff [pictured, they're the blur in front of the blue stage]. the first two were pulled/escorted down but by the end there must have been about 30 crammed on it. half of them wouldn't have been able to see anyway. silly people. i was waiting for them to fall and james was hoping for a riot when security tried to get them down.

Nakey guy [pictured] was kinda funny too. there was about a 200 m gap or so between the main drinking area with a huge pavillion/tent and the edge of the 'D' [moshing area]. we were in this gap
, and so had a fairly decent view of the guy who decided to climb and then run across said pavillion and strip off. we were unsure if it was a guy or girl at first, but it was definitely a guy. he was also very proud of himself, bowing and all. someone else ran up and tackled him then promptly ran off again. possibly whilst stealing something. nakey guy pulled up his underwear and pants again and plonked himself down for the rest of the concert. this was occuring at about quarter or 10 to 9 and when we left rage, at 9, there were 11 people seated up top and police patrolling around the bottom waiting for them. i suppose he/they were already in trouble and may as well have stayed up there. nakey man was already up for indecent exposure i suppose. according to the news someone fell off :P and someone else in the D had to be crowd-surfed out to an ambulance due to squashing. we never ended up in the D, it was full.

we [just James and i] went and heard the last of sara
h blasko instead, she finished half an hour earlier than rage so we missed the rush home. she was pretty talented but not a great stage personality as of yet, hopefully she'll get less nervous and more interesting soon :)

only people i would have liked to see and didn't? kate nash- don't know what we were doing at this stage - and hilltop hoods, who clashed with spoon. i really enjoyed spoon though, so i don't mind. kate nash had cute t-shirts though. maddy bought one with a cute spider on it and the words- 'kate nash? because sometimes two eyes just won't do'. i liked it.
oh and we [all five of us, two carriages] also went on the ferris wheel during bjork i think. sooo many people, it was pretty cool to see.
Also: i hate dust, that t-shirt did not stay white, think grey... possibly brown.
TODAY
some sleeping and then james had some quick stuff to do up at glen ferrie. we wandered around the street after, there's a smiggle and haighs chocolate next to each other [for when james gets into trouble from me and needs to make up :P] and also an interesting liquor store with absinthe and 151 proof rum. we had lunch in a nice cafe then headed home. it was a nice wind-down sort of morning/afternoon. we got into traf at 4 and mum came and picked me up :)
IN OTHER NEWS
I'm going for my license on the 12th and my hazards on friday. tis kinda scary but james made me feel better about it :) wish me luck all. you may start the wishing now, i need as much as i can get.
and that's it for my mammoth entry. bubbye all, see you on saturday.

i am now officially a uni student. tis kinda cool, my student id card is scary though... well, ugly is probably fairer - not just my picture, the entire thing. sigh. and if i want to 'lose' it and get a new photo it'll cost $60 lol... so maybe not. the girl who took the photo said everyone would hate me if i had a nice photo :P
the entire enrolling thing took only 20 minutes, so that was good. i have a diary, booklists, an id card and many, many pamphlets - mainly concerning chlamydia, unwanted pregnancies and the like, oh and a free condom and lube. sigh. silly, silly people. that last lot all came in a showbag. it's like they expect everyone to have sex with random strangers all o-week and end up with hepatitis - and no james, i won't. :P
there was a cola flavoured lollipop [which i'm eating now] too.
the trains are irritating at the moment though, i had to swap at pakenham so it meant it took me quite a while to get home. i was at caulfield station by about 2:30, waited there 20 minutes, stopped at all stations to pakenham and then waited there another half an hour... much fun indeed. but now i'm home... and hungry. i think i'll make [read: reheat] dinner...
i spent last night at james' too. we were going to hire out a movie or two but the silly video store apparently closes earlier on monday nights. we watched fullmetal and a christmas special of doctor who. i approved, tis the first episode i've watched.
i need to figure out what i need to take with me too... it's something like 25 days til i move in, though at this stage i may be coming home again and returning on the monday morning - shall see about that, i'd really rather not. i'd prefer to stay saturday and sunday night, maybe spend sunday in the city.
but yes, i think that shall be enough. don't go and get hepatitis now guys :)

james made me do it. :P
nic's 18th was a time of fun, i enjoyed having dinner with [nearly] everyone - though i feel sorry for everyone else in the restaurant due to all the noise we were making. afterwards was entertaining too, just all the bumming around involved... and the eating/cooking of ice-cream. also: i like navel orange flavour tang. i'm also looking forward to seeing everyone this friday too.. and then the next saturday... and the next friday... parties are fun :)
this past week has been good anyway. since tuesday i've been at the beach. not a lot of swimming [be it surf beach or in rockpools] or beach lying around involved really... i'm not entirely sure why - laziness probably. but it's a pretty place and i walked along the cliffs a few times. myself, james, nat, rach and kieran also spent an afternoon up at phillip island, that was nice... bar the sand war. i hate having sand in my hair. my scalp was burnt too. oh and james fire-twirled on thursday night, he gathered quite an audience. very entertaining.
simon and dad came and joined us on friday afternoon. mum and dad disappeared again to the australian open so we got simon drunk. he really is a stupid drunk, he doesn't say no. he was a real arse though, not giving him alcohol again. last night he sanded our bed/mattress (><)
but apart from simon i had a great week. i know james was a little bored for some of it but i enjoyed not having anything to do. i bought a trashy magazine too, they had 'go ask alice' down as a 'must-read'. i thought that was pretty unusual.
i bought a little cactus garden from a small market/festival thing too. i enjoyed looking around but it was smaller than i remembered... oh well
and on tuesday i'm off to enrol... i'm kinda nervous, not because i'm moving out but about whether i'm doing the right thing. i could have got into doing the course i wanted at swinburne [it was only enter] but i couldn't do japanese there... so now i'm worried about doing japanese... sigh. tis too late now in any rate, and i'm sure i'll enjoy it. i just hope the swapping around works out.

aaah so bored. i've nothing to do and i can't sleep. :(
yesterday wasn't particularly entertaining either. mum had some friends over when i came home from work but they only stayed til midnight, rather pathetic of them really.
and today i only really talked to james over msn and worked for 3 hours.
annie and angelo came and visited for a little while though, that was entertaining. thanks :) they left a good hour and a half ago though. angelo did about 10 pieces of the puzzle i think.
and i'm also confused. james, why am i getting messages from you when you're at your house with no reception...?
but oh well. i might go find another book...

tuesday was entertaining, the afternoon was spent running annoying errands mostly and poor james was dragged along... sorry. some weren't annoying though, not for me. i've a new phone at last, tis red and flippy. not as cute as the one i would have liked [too expensive...] but i like it anyway. james set alarms for me. 4:35 am, 4:40 am... etcetera etcetera. we also visited aldies [sp?] and found their liquor section. i found a cheap kahlua-like substance - not as nice straight but practically identical when mixed with coke, i tried that today. they also have $5 port.
oh and i also finally bought rum port from liquor locker. been meaning to since my 18th - tis probably the most alcohol i've ever had in my cupboard to be honest. the port shan't be appearing at parties though.
also: doctors shouldn't run late when i have a bet going with james. i still hold that being half an hour late doesn't include the time you actually spend with the doctor. he called me in at 27 minutes past when he was meant to, i think i should have won.
emily [not brown]'s party was also tuesday night. not that great a party really, but i still did enjoy myself. nic, if you're reading this, apparently the best chai lattes are made at spiders cafe.
i spent wednesday afternoon at james'. that was much fun indeed. we a had terribly exciting dinner, watched most of roger rabbit and all of donnie darko. i approved.
the morning wasn't too exciting due to james having to work. the silly kitten did backflips and tried to eat my entire leg. i'm also beginning to notice that i'm the only one who ever eats weetbix in that house.
tis actually mum's birthday today too, we hired out some girly movies and went looking at shoes. mum also finally decided on the phone she wanted, hers was also dying. it's probably cooler than mine... but not flippy. i like flippy.
and now i'm sitting at home, it's very exciting indeed... james should be on his way to philip island my now and i expect other people are out doing exciting things too. hope everyone who was able to go to annie's are having much fun - or about to anyway. there's still much time :)

all year 11's are silly, especially since i already have 2 rsvp's from said people and apparently they have year 12 orientation camp. bonding, yay fun. i dare all to come to my party anyway, second day was only looking at 2 universities for us, so you could go home early...? *puppy dog eyes*
i'm pretty sure em is the only year 11 who reads this anyway though :P
in other news: kate's little gathering mcthing was entertaining indeed. i didn't know i was going until a few hours beforehand though. the wii was played [read: watched] and five of us went on an excursion to maccas [a 10 minute drive] because i had a sudden craving for maccas ice-cream and james wanted to go too. it was fun and that justin person was working. so i think zebe was happy. very little embarrassing singing though. shame on him :P
kayla and heidi were also there. they were going out to the saloon i think... said hello anyway.
and then it was home again, home again. by this i mean 'back to kate's house' because we were there a little longer still. i spammed miatchy [no reply :( ] oh, and earlier i drank a fairy bomb. it tastes like a black jellybean. i liked it, but zebe wasn't a fan. one recommendation though? - don't have any after a lollipop. not nice at all. i doubt i'll make a habit of buying them though, i could buy 12 of them for the same price as 20 smirnoffs, and smirnoffs have more standards in them. fairy bombs are actually more alcoholic, but they're in smaller cans. they are cool looking cans though - and they have caffeine. heheh :P
home again, home again for real this time. poor nathaniel was sick but he's all good now. no more exciting news i'm afraid, i worked for 4 hours today and now i am home... yay indeed.
i can't wait til tuesday though, emily [no, you don't know her] is turning 19. shall be much fun. this will be news to james [unless of course he appears on msn before reading this - in which case it will in fact be not news at all] but we're appearing a bit before everyone else and parking ourselves on her front lawn on camper chairs with tania. [you won't know any of the names in this paragraph] it shall be very classy and much fun. emily's reasoning was that both james and her boyfriend won't know anyone else [except scott in james' case - so maybe you will know some names] so at least they can meet each other before too many people appear :)
we'll be taxi-ing home - with the chairs. :P
i'm looking forward to it anyway, and then i'm spending wednesday at james' place. it shall be a good week indeed i think. i'm also not working again til friday, though i'm likely to get called in.
i'm also going to the place of unscary exercise tomorrow. is it weird that i'm kinda looking forward to it? mum wants to go everyday until we go away :)

maffra is a silly place indeed. but going to maffra on wednesday meant my mum now has a new car, so the barina has no owner. well, okay technically it's going to remain under dad's name... but i'm going down as the main driver :) i can't quite afford it yet, but i will. i'm thinking i'll start calling it mine anyway :P
i was also called into work, for 2 shifts. i went for a few hours then came home for 2 and returned again. silly sarah getting stranded in cowes...
and to james' house on thursday. we went to midvalley to see 'i am legend'. i think the ending was good (though a little cheesy) and tis a great movie overall. everyone should go see it, it's the kind that looks better on a big screen. i also approve of the new morwell McCafe. the seats are mc-comfortable and perdy and it just generally looks nice. plus the flashing disc things are cool. haven't been to the moe one yet though.
we also watched 28 weeks later. that was strange, it followed no conventions as far as movies go and ended rather abruptly. but good i suppose... weird is probably more appropriate. all the wrong people died and not a great deal happened.
but yes, and i worked yesterday and a james appeared. that was rather surprising. i went on break and had dinner with him :) ...well, dinner after him. he ate too quickly. and after work i went and joined him at scott's. much watching plus some occasional losing at various games. 6 guys plus me. sigh. nearly all of them were way too overenthusiastic. :P
guitar hero was fun but i only had a go using a controller. dragonforce is nuts. silly, silly fast people. james and i shared on that one and still didn't do that great. he had two buttons and i had three.
i got home at 6 and went to bed :)
oh and yesterday i joined a gym with mum, i'm mostly there for moral support but i would love to be fit as well. sigh, i'm terribly unfit right now. i muchly approved, it's one of those curves ones and it doesn't look scary at all. plus it has no ugly equipment. i didn't know it was possible to get un-ugly equipment but apparently there is such a thing. who knew? no body-builders either. it was very friendly and happy looking. and reasonably easy too. always a bonus that, i'm not a fan of pain. :P

oh and yesterday i joined a gym with mum, i'm mostly there for moral support but i would love to be fit as well. sigh, i'm terribly unfit right now. i muchly approved, it's one of those curves ones and it doesn't look scary at all. plus it has no ugly equipment. i didn't know it was possible to get un-ugly equipment but apparently there is such a thing. who knew? no body-builders either. it was very friendly and happy looking. and reasonably easy too. always a bonus that, i'm not a fan of pain. :P
that is all

well yesterday i worked for a few [3 to be exact] hours and then ran around trying to find clothes suitable for 25 C midnights, as well as tents and other such handy things. it's been left at iggi's, i shall have to arrange to pick it up soon.
nina and ben are both sillies. as are the unorganised james and matt.
i also managed to forget dinner, i was planning on eating prior as i wasn't really in the mood for a barbeque. james forgot too, and then forgot that he forgot and ended up sick. sigh. but before all that we [iggi, james, matt and i] excursioned to find bread and alcomahol. well, matt and james bought alcohol anyway. though neither of them ended up drinking much of it. i didn't drink much of mine either. i'm bringing an esky next time, and hiding it [thanks tim, kate and brad. a grand idea indeed]. but yes, i shan't be drinking much at the next party as i've only 2 left.
people that were apparently drunk/unusually tipsy: sophie, nic and that jake guy. i saw some of the tipsy nic [the sobering up version i think] but i missed the rest due to a rather drunk/sick james. he went to bed 10 minutes before midnight, for shame james. :P he also has a black eye... heheh.
everyone, mostly everyone i should say, looked like they were enjoying themselves though. so i suppose that's good. i hear there were sparklers and a countdown at midnight too.
iggi did a good job, i especially approved of the music set up down at the trampoline/dam. a muchly good idea. apologies to those i may have worried. and thanks to those who came and talked to me/fed me watermelon.
and then i caught a bus home, had a shower, got changed and went to work for 6 hours. well, 5.5 as i got to leave early. i'm beyond tired now :P
my highlight for 2008 so far? emma bought me a watermelon flavoured starburst lollipop. :D
and i believe that is all :)
