Just a quick post before i finish off all the necessary homework [the worst is over... unless of course you take into account how terrible i am at models. but i have a week] which shouldn't keep me up too late. which is good, because i'm exhausted... and much too emotional for my liking because of it. stupid sleeplessness doing funny things to your brain/hormones. hormones are to blame for everything.
i printed off my digital processes assignment today. note to self: good quality printing = expensive. $10 expensive in fact. for one glossy, A3 colour image. it also has to be booked. sigh. that part of my morning was terribly exciting, megan sat and watched. and then we got caffeine and all was good for the world. except from the perspective of both my bank account and my thighs. i really have to break my gjc habit. maybe next week.
i also believe i passed this morning's test. [despite a very stupid mistake regarding post-modern architecture as opposed to art nouveau. not sure how i managed that] aaaand... my assignment for tomorrow only needs to be mounted now. oh, and the bookwork, but it won't take me too long. yay for the end of the semester :)
all in all i'm not nearly as stressed as i've been, i've work to do but it isn't too ridiculous now... i get to laugh at all those of you who have to suffer exams. your turn. except for people like james who have assignments and exams... and jeff hughes too. i spoke to him yesterday morning. i see him maybe once every two weeks for a 5 minute chat. his last two design assignments have been on display. they were both ridiculously good. silly industrial design genius... i bet he's all high distinctions, in that subject at least. sigh. but i'm passing :)
bubbye all, that's enough minor rants and smiley faces for now.

as i'm sitting at james' and i haven't quite found the motivation to do my homework, i thought i'd write another post :)
friday was a day of much fun. i had fairly unproductive classes until 2 [though i received a freddo in one so i shan't complain too much] and then headed back to that james' person's place. hmmm... i haven't mentioned the night before have i?
well i was at james' too. there was a 911 themed night at the pub and i was told i had to go. i went as a stabbing victim. basically, i wore normal clothes and made a very cool knife out of black and grey paper. i then stuck it to myself so that the tip disappeared into my top and drew a bloodstain across my chest. in paint. i was wearing a v-neck top :)
that was fun anyway, i could have had free beer... and i did try it. but even free beer doesn't taste good. i also met some of james' friends, though not much talking was done. apparently i pass, in their opinions i mean.
okay, now back to friday.
james and i went into the city to celebrate the whole 'one year of going out' thing *beams*. soooo... pre-drinks [cocktails :D] at the trader bar and then a meal at fifteen. everyone should go there... when you're not suffering from brokeness anyway. [i had three courses and two cocktail-like contraptions and that came to $90 or so.] it's pretty and fancy and the guy at the door asked to take my coat. heheh... but yes, it was really nice. the food [once we'd deciphered the menu] was absolutely delicious and we got free bread inbetween courses lol. i like bread. plus we got cushy seats in the corner, there was once of those padded bench things running around the walls :) mm what else? i don't know, it was just a... awesome isn't the right word, a think wonderful would be more appropriate.
we were there for 2 and a half hours so we came out at 9, we couldn't really be bothered going to billboard and waiting for faker to play though [they were due to start at 11] so we went home and decided to have a pirates marathon. i fell asleep at the end of the first one though so that kinda fell through...
mm and yesterday we slept in, had lunch/breakfast in a cafe and then went to spend the day in the city. i got to be the 'lovely assistant' for a busker which was... interesting. before i was allowed to pass up the knives he was planning on juggling from his uni-cycle i had to kiss him on the cheek. james was told to close his eyes and of course he turned around and kissed me on the lips instead... i could see that one coming. sigh. it also took me two tries to actually get the last knife up to him... my bad. he was entertaining though :)
much wandering around occured... mostly in house-y shops. when i move out next year there are oh so many things i'm going to want. need as well, but mostly want. i could easily spend a few hundred dollars at general trader's for example. [they sell cooking utensils/cutlery/other cool things.] i want the red bread bin lol... and the microwave rice-cooker. oh and the trifle bowl... plus all that practical stuff like knives and bowls etc. the only thing i have a full set of is dinner plates and cutlery. oh and of course my awesome tea set mc-thing i got for my birthday. i don't have room to put that in my box... i'm really looking forward to next year.
then some kind of random meal that was neither lunch nor dinner [at 5pm] and we went to see the indianna movie. muchly enjoyable for the most part. then home via nic's for a short visit and maccas for food.
and that's my weekend to date. james was up ridiculously early to go to work so it's just me at the moment. i should go get some of that work done....

okay, so i'm not going to even pretend to do work right now... i'm basically here to hand something in and get marks back, for which i have to attend a two hour class. no, this whole process does not take two hours, but the teacher is elsewhere and james is being an awesome and picking me up from uni today. much love. not entirely selfless [just mostly] because he wants to go to dan murphy's... convieniently 500 odd metres or so from my university. alcohol always seems to be in close proximity to university students. i wonder why.
i've also discovered where i want to live next year. there's a gorgeous 4 unit apartment [old-fashioned, light grey stone with a perty front garden and much yard space - by melbourne standards anyway ] called 'Charnwood' on the corner of turner street and dandenong road's service road. for those of you who are unaware dandenong road is the location of the caulfield campus. turner street also happens to be 100 metres from the crossing of said dandenong road which leads directly [as in within 5 metres of] to the doorway to the art and design building. oh the awesomeness of living at such a place. i expect it's $300 a week or something. but still... maybe i could go without food? *cough* the extra sleep involved would very nearly make that worth it. especially since my parents are willing to pay for groceries anyway. not that i ever remember to take them up on that.
there's also an interior decoration place nearby which i discovered... how to decorate your house with antiques. equally gorgeous stuff in there to go in my dream house. they had chaise lounges. i love chaise lounges. so beautiful yet ridiculously impractical for lounging. they should call it the chaise perch, they're good for perching on whilst drinking cocktails, or red wine as i proved the other week. i believe it greatly helped in my consuming of said wine due to my level of intoxication. this couldn't be achieved on a couch, i would have fallen into it and spilt it all over myself.
i've wanted a chaise lounge for a few years now...
they also had perdy dining tables and matching chairs, plus those fancy victorian style ones you put in the corner of rooms to impress people. they're not really for sitting on, just for looking at. and mirrors. i love old-fashioned mirrors. i'm definitely getting myself one of those, the simple, dark wooden ones - not the overly gaudy gold ones.
mmm and wooden floors. definitely wooden floorss.
and at least one red wall.
okay, i'm done my musings for the moment. i propose a 'buy brie that charnwood house and she'll love you forever' fund. you can sleep over whenever you want, 5 minutes from caulfield station lol. i dare you.

james thought it was time for a new post. it probably is, but i have to be quick due to copious amounts of homework. so much homework in fact, that using the word 'copious' isn't even making me smile.
but yesterday was grand, work passed really quickly, i managed to get onto an earlier bus and therefore catch the security bus... and then james arrived :) at about 7 anyway. so we had dinner of dip and bread and brie. [i'm a cannibal i know] and watched the movie bootcamp. i muchly enjoyed it. it was our one year anniversary and james pretty much got me the coolest card and present [shiny red leather wallet] and i got to de-stress. much lying around together and talking. other things too, but no one wants those details.
love you james. i don't tell you that nearly enough.
but now i have to go back to stressing. i'm strategically missing classes all over the place at the moment. i need sleep and to get work done. i only have the rest of this week and next week left [plus things to hand in the weekend after] and i've three assignments due [one for each week, first is tomorrow] plus a folio to finish. not to mention all my other commitments to worry about.
i'm very much looking forward to the next two nights though, they're after the hand in date for this week so not so stressful. james and i are going to a nice restaurant on friday night... can't wait for the weekend too, even though the silly person will wake me up at 4 am on sunday... work is stupid.
but yes, i've written way too much. i need to go get things done :(
plus i should probably find time to eat. i've forgotten that a little lately
can't wait til the holidays and i can see you all :)
[and have no homework. thank fucking god]

sigh. i can't go to bed because i shan't be getting picked up until 10. so i've been browsing internet sites. it turns out that pixar were at semi-permanent this year [a design conference of much awesomeness]. due to the fact that this has already come to pass and the damn thing doesn't come to melbourne, i am very much disgruntled. though i suspect i can mainly blame the grumpiness on the whole sickness thing. i'm looking forward to sleep.

okay, so two significant-type things have happened, so I'm taking a break from my homework [I finished my mail man ~ he's awesome] to write about them while I'm in the mood.
thursday night was the resident's ball, as I'm sure I've mentioned previously. Possibly. But anyway, I hopped on the bus at 6:15 [which meant having to skip my last class ~ tragedy] and did that arriving thing. I wore my val dress, but less classy and more fun. i.e. mum wouldn't let me borrow her pearls when I was planning on going clubbing afterwards. She may as well have though, I didn't end up going to the after party. But I'm not up to that yet.
I met James there and everyone kind of squidged into the entry area thing, people were going around with trays of wine and nibblies but it was rather like a mosh pit. so that didn't last long, they kind of pushed us through to the main room fairly quickly. James and I didn't fit at either of the normanby tables... so we were pretty much alone. We chatted a little, but not much. The entree was boring, dinner was rather nice if late and I missed dessert due to being distracted by someone from spags. god, who was it? this is really rather terrible... i was more than a little tipsy by this stage to be honest. the wine [once I found someone to bring me a bottle of red] was very nice... and free. I had one glass short of going through an entire bottle of cabernet merlot by myself. James, who the hell was it? She's going to the peninsula campus... ha! It was emma davie :D James ate my dessert while I was distracted and talking to her.
[Prue and that guy who Annie told me the name of were there too. Andrew i think, red fuzzy hair. ]
But yes, James and I spent the first part of the night drinking wine at our table and then the rest of the night drinking wine on the chaise lounge out in the quieter entry area. We got up for refills twice, hence James having the opportunity to eat my dessert. or possibly ours, to be fair there was only one but we were going to share.
Much half drunken conversation and one too many glasses for me to be able to go to the after party. I had 5 glasses... though the last [really a glass and a half] was not finished. I believe I blacked out for a few minutes at one stage too. End result? I have officially had a hangover [incredibly mild as it was] and have most definitely been drunk. Fun - but I'm glad James was there :)
Apparently I'm entertaining drunk
Friday night James and I saw Iron Man. Very muchly recommended. Get up and go see it now.
I was taken home [Nat has hockey in Melbourne on friday nights] and came back up Saturday night for my cousin's party. Except somewhere in between these two events I became Spanish. It was a themed party. I had black, curly hair [LOTS of it] and the most awesome dress in existance. I didn't take the wig off until Jess' gay friend decided he wanted to see my natural hair colour. this was at 3 am I believe.
Didn't get drunk this time but I did stay up nearly all night. Mum went home at 4 [brothers didn't come and Dad left a little earlier], leaving me at Jess' by myself for the first time. Jess was very excited. It was only myself and her friends by this stage [it was her 30th] too, fun was had. I started to doze off at 6 so Jess decided she wanted to put me to bed, since I was never allowed to stay with her when I was little. She left my/her room at 7am and I half slept until 10am
Can't wait to visit her.
Home again, home again.
Afternoon tea at the vault in yarragon. a very nice place.
And the James' drove me up to Melbourne again to his place. Movies were watched and sleep was had at 1am. Understandably, I slept through my 8 am lecture.
And nothing exciting has happened since then... i still have much work to do and washing that should be done by now.
Bubbye all (^^)

you know those random quiz type things where you shuffle your music and use the titles of whatever comes up to describe yourself? or whatever... well, whilst driving home tonight/this afternoon i was musing [such a wonderful word... like quandry] about what song best describes my own personality.
since i'm so often told that i'm a happy person i decided that it would have to be a fairly upbeat song, preferably not one with a depressing meaning behind it... like 'shimmer' by fuel. it sounds happy, but it isn't. i'd like to think that i actually am a happy person, i enjoy making people laugh and seem to be able to do it quite easily when i set my mind to it. apologies to those who have seen me moody and/or upset, but i'm not usually like that. truly. i entirely blame stress/sleeplessness/hormones. or possibly all three.
but yes, happy song. or at least upbeat. a 'do do do' song really - i always meant to make that compilation but i had trouble drawing the line at what was one and what wasn't. some that don't have the actual words still sound like they should.
anyway, i had to throw out the waifs' 'lighthouse' because i don't think i'll ever be able to achieve the alternative and careless kind of cool that they epitomise to me. i'm too materialistic and fashionably-challenged for that. i couldn't pull off that look, or personality. love the song - but most definitely not me.
this led me to 'can't get enough of you' by smash mouth. this is me in some respects. materialistic and loving it. i wouldn't want to change. 'semi-charmed life' is also a possibility, though there isn't anything i feel i particularily feel i need to live my life. maybe if you disregard the lyrics entirely and just focus on the music. morever, i don't do crystal meth [a line of the song i hadn't noticed until i looked up the lyrics earlier, though to be fair i did realise it was full of more obscure references].
and then there's 'what i like about you', that cheesy one by the romantics, that is me - but perhaps without the asian accent. i love the tune though... 'hey there leonardo' [you might know it as 'she likes me for me'] by blessed union of souls is also a possibility. i don't care in the slightest about james' big screen or his collection of dvds. i also don't watch much tv. perfect really. i'm not sure if i want to be 'phat like cindy crawford' because, to be honest, i've no idea who she is and if this is a compliment. apart from that though...
i am most definitely not 'black betty'. entirely std [or is it sti now?] free, and childless... thank god.
maybe 'bubbly' by colbie caillat? i love hiding from the rain under the covers... and just in general i think it's a suitable tune. there are other lines too, but at the risk of sounding too sentimental/sickening to some of you guys i'll refrain from mentioning them.
mm i'm also thinking 'new soul' by yael naim. i know i'm no innocent but i love experiencing new things and i appreciate the simple things in life. like bubblewrap, laughing and making james' head explode. it also has a 'la la la' bit which definitely adds to its credibility... :P
but yes, i'm not entirely sure. any suggestions? or musings about your own song? :P

since i'm so often told that i'm a happy person i decided that it would have to be a fairly upbeat song, preferably not one with a depressing meaning behind it... like 'shimmer' by fuel. it sounds happy, but it isn't. i'd like to think that i actually am a happy person, i enjoy making people laugh and seem to be able to do it quite easily when i set my mind to it. apologies to those who have seen me moody and/or upset, but i'm not usually like that. truly. i entirely blame stress/sleeplessness/hormones. or possibly all three.
but yes, happy song. or at least upbeat. a 'do do do' song really - i always meant to make that compilation but i had trouble drawing the line at what was one and what wasn't. some that don't have the actual words still sound like they should.
anyway, i had to throw out the waifs' 'lighthouse' because i don't think i'll ever be able to achieve the alternative and careless kind of cool that they epitomise to me. i'm too materialistic and fashionably-challenged for that. i couldn't pull off that look, or personality. love the song - but most definitely not me.
this led me to 'can't get enough of you' by smash mouth. this is me in some respects. materialistic and loving it. i wouldn't want to change. 'semi-charmed life' is also a possibility, though there isn't anything i feel i particularily feel i need to live my life. maybe if you disregard the lyrics entirely and just focus on the music. morever, i don't do crystal meth [a line of the song i hadn't noticed until i looked up the lyrics earlier, though to be fair i did realise it was full of more obscure references].
and then there's 'what i like about you', that cheesy one by the romantics, that is me - but perhaps without the asian accent. i love the tune though...
