holy fucken hell.
I could not let this day go by without expressing my supreme and utter ecstasy that America voted for Barack Obama as their next President.
I did not leave the couch almost all day (2 digressions, I quickly returned)flicking between cnn, abc etc just glued to the screen watching the progress. I squealed with delight with the knowledge that Pennsylvania and Ohio were behind Obama. With California, I thought my heart would burst out of my body and explode.
The only thing that could make this day any better would be the knowledge that Prop 8 failed.
Congratulations America you did GOOD this year I'm still crapping myself with excitement despite the fact that I have now known for hours that Obama is prez. And rightly so.
*breathes extensively long sigh of relief*

aaaaaaaaaaargh. what should've been a totally wonderful, relaxing, brilliant day was totally FUCKED by the presence of my parents.
weekend was going ok. friday was RUDELY woken at 6:33am being told i was going to be late for work. i totes thought i had until 8 to sleep to go to uni. fucken fuckhead work that i forgot about. and of course, it was totally friggin freezing. went to work. went to uni. hung out in general.
went to newtown to get a haircut, as paid for by mick which he promised to do aaages ago. enjoyed getting haircut, as always. i love haircuts. i now have a fringe. was hating hot retarded weather though as i had dressed all wintry.
was sposed to meet cousin at 4:30 so i went to mick's which was nearby to do a bit of promo-ing. decided did not want to wait for cuz as would not get to babysitting job in time which was moved up earlier. grahame (LOVE) who works with mick not only offered to drive me to a train station but TO MY FRONT DOOR. love the lovely grahame who lives in the north shore and therefore went totally out of his way for me.
scoffed some food mum got me at serious serious risk of indigestion/heartburn/heart attack as i thought i would not get to eat at all (at ALL. all day!) as it was a new family of clients, therefore would not feel comfortable in their home. turns out they live in an AWESOME apartment at breakfast point and had got me dinner especially which i had to make look somewhat eaten so as not to be rude, their kid was an angel, and i got to spend the night in their cool place, watching their massive dvd collection on a large flatscreen tv. hi, heaven. and i got PAID for it.
saturday was just spent working. then i babysat for my fave lil girls. another easy job. got home and found an extra new doona (sp?) to throw on my bed. and a new pillow. zomg best sleep ive had in a reeeeaaally long time. but woke up to a shit day. my parents have been all antsy and shitty that not only have i not been home, but now that i am, dont talk to them/close myself away whatever. dont seem to realise its coz they annoy me at every opportunity, asking me to do things and generally being angry at me. s'if i want to be around people who constantly tell me off.
what do you guys do when you dont have a car, are at home, and dont want to deal with your parents? i feel suffocated and wont have the outlet of the record label for a while coz we've got our work up to date. sigh. |

ok, so like, these old woggy ladies like my grandma are really superstitious. me, not so much. like at all. but i was telling my grandma about my week and she thinks ive been given the evil eye or someone cursed me or some shit. at which point i rolled my eyes, looked at my mother and we laughed. but then i got home and recapped on my week again, in great detail. and now im thinking, fuck she might be right. anyways they have this thing to figure out if its happened or not where they pour oil into a bowl of water. now, the oil should float and stay there, coz, duh, but if you have indeed been given the eye, the oil disappears. so anyway the oil disappeared. am a bit worried actually coz this is whats happened:
* sunday, my mum stepped on my foot and it REALLY hurt. not a big deal, granted. but with everything that happens, it seems to get one upped quite quickly. coz then
* we were taking my brother to piano lessons and i got out early with my aunty to go to the cafe (thats what we do while we wait) and mum didnt realise i was getting out and started driving and my leg got caught in the moving tyres. im ok it just hurt like fuck.
* later, getting in the car again, the door swung for some reason real quick and hit me right in the forehead.
* going HOME thinking im safe, was walking into the garage, mum dropped the remote and the door started coming down. on my HEAD.
* later was peeling potatoes, and like, the peeler just slipped and grazed off a couple of layers of skin.
I KNOW I JUST SOUND CLUMSY BUT IM SO NOT USUALLY THIS SHIT NEVER HAPPENS LIKE THIS. THIS IS STILL ONE DAY.
* in general have been queasy and vomity and crampy and apparently this is also a sign you've been given the eye. hmm.
* was walking yesterday, slipped and fell right on my back. mustve fallen on my knee first coz it heaps hurts and theres a very very large bruise on it. back is ok though
* this is edited coz i forgot this one: yesterday at work was chopping fruit, felt a nick on my thumb but didnt think much of it, til i turned around and back again and saw the glove rapidly filling with blood. removed glove, blood started gushing like a tap. i cut it quite deep.
* worst thing thats happened this week: i have paranoia when crossing the road so i have a habit of checking out the other side of the road even when i have a green pedestrian light, so i was doing this yesterday, and just as suspected, some fucker decided to go through the red light anyway, and sped past me, at which point i crossed coz by then their lights had been red for a good 10 seconds and mine was green, when some CRAZY FUCKER came out of nowhere and sped past me, missing me by a few centimetres. seriously it was so scary
it started with banging my head and being a bit silly and ended with a near death experience. then they did the oil test. am slightly freaked. someones got it in for me lol |

awe im sorry guys its like im updating MORE now that i dont have a computer at home, like i need to milk every internet experience for all its worth.
but basically all i want to say is that teenager is a full legit band now. as if all theyre appearances in brag a few weeks ago wasnt enough, this week alone i have found:
* while reading through the new issue of frankie, my fave mag, an interview with none other than nick littlemore.
* a rilly positive review in 3D world of the concert i was merch bitch at AND there is also a collection of photos from the show, with a pic of my merch display included. HOT.
* in the same issue is an interview with noel fielding and an article in general re: the boosh
* as well as a review of the secret policemans ball dvd or whatever where the boosh is the highlight.
awsum.
OH AND OMG I ALMOST FORGOT - I GOT A DISTINCTION FOR MY FIRST EVER ASSESSMENT AT UNI

ughhhhhh mofo technology. my computer has well and truly crashed. i had an inkling there was a virus, mainly due to the lil thing that kept appearing every 15 mins saying "your computer is infected!". i was able to ignore it very easily, and when i did click on it in a vain attempt to try and do something about it, it was a very complciated long procedure that wasnt working. so anyways, it crashed eventually. i am now very sad. not because it created a shitload of boredom for me all day on saturday but because i realised i have a shitload of work i have to do that i always do at night. its the best time for me to work on assessments. so anyways here i am at the library trying to get shit done. argh. life sucks.
well, ok, except i had a really good day yesterday. my parents FINALLY took me out for a celebratory lunch for finishing the hsc and doing ok and getting into uni. yeah, like 4 months overdue but anyways. we ate sooooo much. there was muchos wine, breads, dips, kipfler marinated potatoes, yummy scallops, herb bread etc etc for starters. then omgYUM me and mum shared a seafood paltter for 2. there was LOBSTER MY FAVOURITE and and calamari and prawns and so much good shit and yay. and for dessert, *dies* i got creme brulee with a hint of lavender through it (worked SO well) and it was perfect. creme brulee is my favourite ever, but ive never had it so perfectly prepared. we got the dessert platter, and there was also this wikkid chocolate cake, sorbet terrine, pannacota and grilled bananas etc. was an awesome lunch. then we went down to yowie baya nd visited susie (micks sister) and family. good times.
i hate being at the library. |

omg it was SO good seeing Wil on tv again. Seriously though, the pain was almost too much. I miss him so much, it's so weird. It's like I lost a friend and havent seen him in ages. thats totally how it is. I'm all "dude we should catch up more often i havent seen you in so long!" exceot i saw him at usyd but its not the same, i mean on tv. i used to watch him every week. life's not the same :( i barely survived not having him on jjj every morning, starting my day, welcoming me to consciousness, i mean he was so integrated into my life and morning routine. i had to count on watching him once a week, for a blissful half an hour. but at least i got to see him y'know? now, all i have is his afternoons on mmm (blegh) when i manage to catch it. now, i dont have anything against lehmo, but hes just not that funny. PLUS theres ads all the time PLUS theres shit music.

heya folks TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY i know. this ones a realer one i swear. first of all, i have to bask in my own glory. for the first time EVER EVER i finished an assignment 6 days before it was due. thats huge news for me. and the only reason i did it was coz i have another due on the same day.
however the big news is, while procrastinating after writing my intro for my essay, i took a two hour break and, instead of looking for normal apartments in vancouver as ive done before but i took it a step (or a thousand) further - APARTMENTS ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE. omg fifth ave apartments well shit on normal van ones lol. so here they are. my pick of the best, in ascending price order. sigh. there are tonnes, but theyre pretty. please look, i full put effort into this top 11 list. go on.
( pretty )
oh and while we're here, i gotta vent. i fucken hate the catherine tate show. i sat through it once tonight (admittedly, was doing other things) but im so damn bitter. glasshouse shoulda been on. this did NOT impress me enough to warrant taking glasshouse's spot. pfffffffffft. |

hey dudefaces (vivek shraya had never heard that one before. he likes it. fyi.)
so anyways im totally sick and vary from sounding like a husky male to a pubescent boy. its sexy yo. and i have a headache and fever and had to do my bloody online tutorial for sociology meaning i actually had to THINK a bit and it nearly overloaded my brain. and there are days like today when i realise, my mother is a cool bitch. i asked her for cough lollies before she left to get some groceries and she came back with nurofen +, my lollies, a huge arse toblerone choccie and a packet of ovalteenies with a kiss on the forehead. i swear, i may've cried a bit. shes sooo nice sometimes!!! oh and the latest NW mag (theres a review of one of the bands i hung out with. thats right bitches). so im sitting here eating chocolate and snuggled in pjs waiting for the mighty boosh to start. oh and another reason the choc thing is such a big deal to me - greek orthox peeps (even the non religious ones like myself who get forced) are sposed to fast during this week. no dairy no meat etc and the fact that shes letting me/encouraging me to chocolate binge is sweet.
so enough about my mum. i know im slow on the entourage bandwagon (like...3 seasons slow) but im not slow on the adrian grenier one (hi, 'drive me crazy') so i finally decided to check it out. have been downloading throughout the week and falling even more in love with him and still maintain that hes like a female kate moennig. also lovin jeremy piven. i've heard bad stories bout him, like hes a perve and a wanker and shit, but im hoping it aint true coz hes SO goddamn funny.
have a good easter/holidays peeps. think of me, all sick and forced to church attend, and eating chocolate, and shit. xx |

so. imagine me walking through hyde park this morning. hungover. cold. in yesterday's clothes. NO MAKEUP. only huge sunglasses and a floppy fringe to hide me. and the sun is glaringly bright. i felt skanky skanky skanky. it was gross.
however, it follwed a fucken awesome night, so i can't complain.
for the past 6 months that hedwig and the angry inch has been in production here in sydney, ive been dying to go. however i was either too broke, or shit kept happening and wasnt able to go. but dear, dear, belinda was able to get tickets to last night's show, and i almost peed myself with excitement. IT WAS BRILLIANT. like, i've seen iOTA perform at the 21 down thing and knew he was incredible, but i couldn't imagine how good he would be in this role. i never thought anyone but john cameron mitchell could do it justice but he DID. he so totally did. i cried a bit. but made sure noone saw. gahsogood. and he looks hot on stage as a boy too.
yeah so then we went to the imperial hotel (we = belinda me and caleb, later charisma) and watched some good ole fashion drag shows. and i finally finally got to watch carmen gettit/cailean perform and hes HEAPS good. i believe belinda said he was the "it" drag queen of the moment. so yeah that was fun. lotsa drinking. tried my first jagerbomb. and watched b get high on that max stuff. then crashed at hers and made my way home this morning, in the aforementioned state.
ah, good times :D |

AND OMGITSSOGOOD. i forget how good stuff is. no wait, i remembered it was good, but i was like, 10 or 11 when i first watched it, so in my opinion, re-watching movies is vital if you want to understand them better. true.
so anyways, tangent, i love him so much. hes one of the most beautiful people on the planet. and i was sitting there, watching him in awe, when i realised - he's like a male version of kate moennig! he is he is. go watch it and see. the broodiness, but sweet natured and funny. yep yep.
um nothing much else to report apart from uni blah blah work assignments blah IM GOING TO HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH ON FRIDAY FINALLY. and to belinda, i say once again, i love you and thankyou, you've made my month. ive been so looking forward to going, and it just kept falling through. so yay. im a much happier person. um what else? oh yeah check out the v festival posters guys, my mates mercy arms are on there and i get so excited coz like, theyre supporting the pixies, and, i met them.
