My mood just spiked up ^.^ Today's been a pretty dull day. Mum told me yesterday that I shouldn't leave and that I was to make food when she woke up....well she just woke up *sigh*
BUT anyway..the small thing that made me happy: I was runner up in some comp I signed up to...lol I've been entering comps a lot, and to be honest, it had sorta paid off, I've won a few of them and although they're nothing major..and I haven't gone to see any of the 5 + shows I've won tickets to go see, it's still nice to win stuff you didn't earn =]
TODAY: I got a sample pack of some QV facial products =]
I can't remember what the actual prize was...maybe a trip for two somewhere but whatever, this will do perfectly =]
lol..I used to sign up for free stuff when I was in yr 6, it's weird how much random junk you can get sent to you for free =]
I even got kitty litter once XD I don't have a cat
okay I lied. I watched the ep of The Middle that had loaded.
UGH
I'm really annoyed. The whole ep was about how they're struggling with money (Dad's job got axed a few eps back). The electricity gets cut so they decide to go see a free financial planner who tells them to cut back on the useless crap. Like buying $3 coffee every day or buying expensive beer and getting take out because the mum's too lazy too cook. They struggle finding things to do other than watch tv so they go play Bingo one night at the Church and end up winning $1000. They say they should pay off their EIGHT maxed out credit cards but hint at wanting to buy a new tv. The next day they decide that "given our situation we know what to do", obviously both parents do something different, the mum pays for a years worth of cable and the dad sends a cheque to pay off the credit cards. They fight.
HOW RETARDED IS THAT. As if you would have 8 maxed credit cards. ONE is bad enough =.=
THEN she goes on to justify herself by saying:
Mum: coz I thought we agreed to spin the wheel! Go for what we want and take the risk that it will all work out. I thought that we were both spinners Mike. Dad: Oh that's just great, Sue's going to be a model and axel's going to be a rock star and some miracle is going to just fall in our lap and solve all our financial problems so lets just get tv, you're delusional Mum: Well you're UN-AMERICAN! Dad: What Mum: Yeah! That's right, coz real Americans are raised on instant gratification and the optimism that if they somehow mess up things will all work out. THAT'S WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. How sad to be you, in your dark little no tv world Dad: You're crazy if you think something is just going to drop in your lap, we just won $1000 how much luck do you think we're entitled to Son: Ahh dad? *points to tv* Mum: All of it, All of it mike! I'm going for it all. Big Spin, BIG SPIN. I'm going all the way.
Voice over by mother: Turns out the kids weren't wrong, a lot of important messages do come over the tv
Dad: wow I'm going back to work Mum: WE WON, BIG WINNERS, BIG WINNERS WHOOOOO" *triumphant music* -mum gets spun in dads arms- Daughter: What's going on? Dad:I just got my job back! Mum: WE spun and we won! *screams, slow motion spinning mimicking game show winners*
Voice over by mother: See, I'm not delusional, in a country where this is possible, Sue could be a super model, Axel could be a rock star, Brick could be a great leader of men. You just gota believe, and keep spinning coz u never know.
So the intro of the show always does this little recap of something American, some sort of value/tradition/Holiday and how it's done in Indiana. So this episode started off talking about how in America everyone's always expecting be the next big winner and the mum speculates that it is because everyone grows up in a game show culture.
While I was watching it I was on the dads side, 100% and I thought the mums crazy spending would come back to bite her on the ass and I got annoyed that they got the lucky break they needed. But I suppose it's just the writer using dramatic irony to make a comment of how fucked up some people are..or u know, American society in general. Sad thing is I know people like this *ahem* my mother.
I don't really feel like blogging, it's just that I'm capped and the next episode of The Middle hasn't loaded yet and I'm avoiding doing the radio script that's due by tomorrow morning.
So today has mainly consisted of sleeping. I'm catching up, not just from having joel&kurt sleepover, but being tired from the two dance performances..it's weird how dead I was after yesterdays performance. I think it's probably because I got so stressed out b4/during the shows (the dancing only took about 10mins). One of the small positives that come with dancing is that once you're stressed out enough your body issues fly out the window and you don't give a crap who sees you get changed lol. Or maybe that's just me XD
It sucks that I haven't had my camera with me the last couple of days I've had a lot of fun =[
So..recap?
Thursday: ..did i blog about this already? Well I went to stockies with Stef and then in the arvo was meant to go to Loud Tribe with Tim and he came to get me but mum was all grrr at me for not cleaning the house and made me go grocery shopping with her and miss the Loud Tribe meeting. I felt like a teenager more than I ever have, funny that it's happened now that I'm 19 *sigh*. I was not happy =.=
Friday: Tim dropped off my wallet that I left in his car the day I got angry at him...lol so angry that I didn't call him back to give me my wallet even though he was still in my driveway. I had to climb in fru the window to get into my house coz my keys were in my wallet. LOL ... so maybe I am stubborn. I HAVE PRIDE DAMMIT. Well later in the day I had a huge fight with mum...it didn't feel like our biggest ever, there have been worse but the ending of it was probably the harshest. I got kicked out. In case you didn't know, my mums not like that, I've never been kicked out, or threatened or asked to leave, hell she's asked me to never leave, to make my future husband move in here with us lol.
I can't even call it a fight. I can't call any disagreement I have with people a fight because a fight implies that it was a heated two way "conversation". Even with Tim, we've never technically had a fight. It's just me getting annoyed and shutting him off or telling him what he did to piss me off. I don't yell, I generally don't argue back, especially with mum. She gets pissed off at me a lot but I just listen. There's no need to add fuel to the fire.
Anyway this was at a stressful point in the day, it was about an hour b4 I had to go perform and I was taking my stuff with me to move out that night..but yer. I wanted to leave too...I mean sure it would make things a little more complicated, but not impossible. I was already planning it b4 she eventually said it. Either way she spoke to me and asked me not to leave and yer. I'm staying. None of the real issues were resolved and this "disagreement" is bound to happen again. Oh well.
SO the performance!...was horrible except for our last dance. It was for the annual fundraiser for the latin community church. I didn't think they would actually have the money to hire a real hall and that so many people would attend. 300 people maybe? The inside of the hall looked like a cake XD . The "change room" was about the size of two toilet stalls, and there was about 14 of us LOL My aunty and gran came and after we performed they had normal(latin) dancing music and everyone was dancing which was fun =]
I really enjoy being able to experience the whole spanish community with people my own age, lol...I've never really had any latino friends so I've always attended these sort of events with old people. Heaps of fun. Got lost coming home. Stayed up late.
Saturday: Woke up late =.= Freaked out because I woke up 5mins b4 i had to be at Ffield High but Michelle came to pick me up ^.^ and Tim too ♥ Got there, we were the first to perform. Joel and Kurt came too ♥ change room was bigger, we were slightly better than the day b4 but I still made a bunch of huge mistakes LOL We really need to practice at least once on the day. I can't REMEMBER. Anyway. Capoeira was very disappointing =[ and then we all went to maccas (dance group too). Went home with Tim to get changed..fell asleep and didn't go back to kurts =[ Mikel joel and kurt came by to pick me up later to go to graces. Fun fun. Cold. Tea tree lights everywhere. Fruity Lexia and Verdi. OH yer, we're that classy. Joel dropped of mikel, came back to get us and we went back to my place. Stayed up late. Danced to Tik Toc ♥ Woke up late today. And a few trivial things in between and here I am.
HAZZA
OH!
the BET. Payment is due on the 29May 2011.
hehe
This Wednesday is my one year anniversary with Tim :S IM GOING TO MAKE HIM WATCH SEX IN THE CITY with me mwahahaha =]
BEH seriously..if you ever have ideas for this radio thing PLEASE share them. No one ever does and since I'm the one writing it I end up having to find things. I'M NOT CREATIVE or interesting enough to make good choices. I need your input.
Speaking of Loud Tribe, apparently I'm the new convener :S for the next few months. We haven't had one for about 2 months now and Tuyet always made it seem like it was painfully stressful...so...lets hope it's not =[ So far all I know is that I have to go "at least" once a week to the Parks office and file some paper work :S I know I need to write up the minutes and host the meetings so..yer :S oh and meet with council :S lol I think Tim gets a job too XD
To be honest, I'm sorta looking forward to trying this out. The group is trying out new policies and we're going to swap convener every couple of months and attempt to be more organised. I think this will be a good opportunity for me to see if I can handle the responsibility..and see if I have the skills to do something like this. Obviously I can always back out and I think they said only 2 months and that's right about when I start uni again..so it fits in perfectly.
Eep...and to think, I didn't even know I was joining when I did. LOL..Tim took me, didn't explain anything and we were both given papers to sign and say we're not child molesters and poof. We're part of Loud Tribe.
okay. Im SORRY that everything I say to people lately (and in my blog) is somehow related to 'The Middle', it's not even a good show, but not terrible and I'm already up to ep 15 and I have nothing else I want to watch so that'll do.
That'll do pig. That'll do.
So on this episode, the 13yr old girl goes to her first "BOY GIRL Party"....wtf? Generally, aren't all parties, through all of your life, mixed gender unless you have no guy/girl friends? This isn't the first time I've heard this on an american sitcom, this whole strange notion of a boy/girl party, where everyone sits around in the exact same basement that's in every other movie/sitcom and play spin the bottle, 7 minutes in heaven or are just hooking up with everyone. And let's not forget the iconic red plastic cups and the keg.
WHAT IS THAT!?
Does this actually happen in the states? Does this happen here? :S
Maybe I've just always been a loser and never got invited to parties where EVERYONE got together and made out :S
It's really disturbing, I'm worried that my kid will end up at one of these and will be a HUSSY and hook up with all the boys...lol yes I've been extremely worried about how my little girl will turn out ever since watching this show and considering my parenting skills and all the extra curricular activities I'm going to force her to do XD lol...
NO I'm not pregnant or have a child. I'm just hyper aware of it at the moment.
Anywho more about my child later. Back to the teen orgies.
I'm so glad I grew up with the girls I did and in that environment, it kept me sheltered for a much longer time than other girls my age and even in the same school. All that has flown out the window and I'm fine with that but only because I'm 18+ and I'm not a ridiculous stereotypical teenage girl. I still have my boundaries and it scares the crap out of me when I see such young girls loose their innocence so quickly (and no Im not just talking about being a virgin, even things like swearing and knowing the meaning of different sexual acts and just having a dirty mind in general).
It kind of blew my mind when this girl I know was telling me about all the bf's she's had and how little it means to her..and how painfully young she started. What's worse is that it seems like one big joke to her.
I remember when I first started year 7 and I heard girls bragging about their boyfriends...how some of them had even had them in primary school WHAT THE FUCK. SOOOOOOOOOOO not normal. Or maybe I'm the crazy one here? I REFUSE. lol...
I never played doctor...but I know a few people who did. SERIOUSLY! What is wrong with you people, to me, that is a CLEAR warning sign. Who ever came up with that idea was OBVIOUSLY molested and exposed to things that were inappropriate for their age. I've heard of a bunch of guys who watched/read/saw their first porn as early as when they were in year 3. YEAR FUCKING THREE. That is a massive red light to me. Call DOCS. i dont know =[ It scares me. I know boys get curious at a younger age...but COME ON.
Then again I was delayed..biologically too, lol I didn't get my period until I was 14. I was so proud of that too. lol SUCKED IN BITCHES I didn't have to worry about my period for another couple of years XD
I mean, I was always very aware and informed of the bio side of things, how systems worked, the different parts, I think I was pretty mature about it at the time. I still think it's crazy that there are still WOMEN who don't understand their periods. I was in a sexual alterations class a few weeks back and we were covering endometriosis. But no one even knew how menstruation worked, so we had to go back and explain that before we could explain a condition that affected it. INSANE.
SO. Have you ever been to a make out party?
Through a somewhat unreliable source I've heard there are said parties in my extended social circle. BUT I'm talking about a party, where every single person is making out with another person, the entire ending of the party. Over the last year I've been to maybe, two parties where we've played spin the bottle and ended up doing all different kinds of dares, it was heaps of fun. BUT we were also all 18+ and I'm hoping/assuming that no one was doing anything because they felt pressured/wanted to be accepted (all the annoying crap they taught us in school that hardly any one payed attention to =.=)
ugh this topic stresses me out...lol
SO back to my kid's extra curricular activities: Guitar Drums Violin Swimming during summer up until she's about 8 and can swim well Capoeira so she can be fit, TOUGH yet graceful and acrobatic. And so she can do the Rondas ♥ Latin dance classes: salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, vallenato, salla, and everything else under the sun Apart from the latin dance classes she will also be a part of the Samba girls so she can perform for festivals and mardi gras Scouts so she have FUN and make friends and go camping XD St Johns Cadets so she learns first aid and can volunteer at events Choir/Singing lessons, if she sucks ill pull her out =[ Saturday School: Spanish and whatever language her father speaks.Cooking for Kids: If I can find a class, i'd totally do it.
Now I have to try and cram all that in b4 she becomes a teenager and decides she doesn't wanna do any of them any more. I'm fine if she doesn't want to...except she MUST keep one instrument and she MUST keep the latin dance classes. It will be good for her XD She can make friends, keep fit and be awesome all at the same time. And yes, I am living out my dreams fru my kid =] I wish my family had made me do things when I was little instead of subscribing to cable ={ So there are a few reasons behind capoeira: -A good capoeira school will teach you to play the instruments and how to participate in a ronda:
*dies* I wish I could move like that. -It will keep her really fit and agile, healthy body=healthy mind -If she becomes good at it, people will respect and acknowledge her commitment -The guys are hot and if they're serious about it they respect their bodies, it'll teach her to do the same -IT LOOKS FRIGGEN AWESOME plus it's not as full contact as other martial arts:
All the t-rex's died out because they fell face first and couldn't get back up again =[
Colgate Wisp actually works XD im so excited.
I'm capped =[
I've finally decided on a theme-inspiration for my room XD Im excited.
I need ideas for next weeks radio show :S HELP?
Daddy offered me another trip to Singapore =]
I start uni again soon =[
I've really enjoyed this time off uni XD failing bio was the smartest thing I've ever done...well not really. BUT I'm going to miss the freedom. It's been my version of a gap year HAZZA although I could have done a lot of more usefull things in my time off.
♥ TIM said THE most romantic thing to me EVER the other day, if he won the lotto he would hire those crazy iron chefs to make me a cheesecake ♥
Every time my mum brings chuppachupps to work someone dies.
I can do the splits.
I bought cosmo today. I used to hate magazines and thought girls who read them were ditzy. I also thought sex was disgusting, I promised I would never smoke or do drugs, wearing makeup to school made you an airhead, wearing flannel was for bogans, stepping inside of supre/target/kmart/bestnless/aldi made you revolting and I believed in never giving 2nd chances. My mistake.
IM PERFORMING TOMORROW. crap
oh and tim's awesome =] He came over today to give me a hug because mumsy spazzed at me for not washing the dishes :(
So I m a tiny bit bored because most shows have done their season finales last week so I started watching 'The Middle', it's crappy, but it will do for now, it's sorta Malcolm in the middle-ish but WAYYY way less funny or interesting. But I'm capped which is making it hard to watch anything or even do this stupid radio script.
So the episode I just watched revolved around a Block Party. Basically, it's a party with all your neighbours out in the street. I've seen this a fair bit in American sitcoms and I was talking to someone about it once and they said they're street used to do that. I forget who it was...Michelle? Joel? Iunno. It's an interesting concept I suppose.
At my old place I knew both the neighbors on either side of me but we only really talked to the Italians. Probably because they were friendly, nosey and used to have a corner shop right next door to us, so we were usually in there. I did for awhile attempt to make friends with the Yugoslav's on the other side, the grandma would always be outside sitting at the bus stop and would speak to me in another language and say I was pretty, but she got old and ended up in the nursing home where my mum worked. I sorta feel bad that she creeped me out. Their kids were only a few years older than me and I tried making friends with them...but the girl just wanted me for chocolate =[ Plus my grandma really didn't trust them and would get angry when I went over to their place.
Oh there was the lady in the wheelchair in the front, but we had some argument with her yearssss ago, don't really know what it was about, always avoided eye contact with her from then on.
SO...seeing as I'm "new" in the neighborhood, I don't really know anyone yet. I very rarely see people...and thus far I've technically only spoken to one family..a few houses down...but that wasn't so much a conversation as it was me running around their back yard saying sorry while they yelled at me and threatened to call the cops. There appears to be an aussie family across from me. The houses next door are too difficult to tell, they're all town houses. So I'm pretty sure there are two families on one side. One is definitely Spanish speaking because I heard them yelling at their son once. Then in the back house, all I know is that there is a young girl, probably 16 who likes to undress with her windows open. On the other side to me it gets harder because there are like 6 houses on that block of land. All i know is that there is an asian teenage girl, someone who listens to hardstyles, an asian family in the back and one in the front who have a very well cared for veggie garden.
SO I really don't know how comfortable I would be meeting all these people at a 'Block Party'. I don't think I want to...lol not that we're having one. Would you want to meet ur neighbours?
The only other families I've seen are: at the castle (asian), the one with the dirt pit who make the kids cut the grass with scissors (asian) and the one with the truck out the front (asian with kids).
hmmm...
Yer don't wanna meet them ^.^ That would be one awkward block party.
DOES UR NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE BLOCK PARTIES?
Recap: Saturday: Dinner at Tim's grandparent's place. First time I meet his extended family. Sensory overload. About 10 people and 5 lil kids. Somehow everyone was shouting in Viet lol. They were all really nice and a happy bunch. EVEN TIM! It was crazy. He's good with the kids lol. But yis, I was a little nervous but it's over =]
Sunday: Dancing got changed to 10-2pm, got down all of our routines. I need to work on spinning out, I get way too dizy and arch out too much =[ Then I went with Tim to prerecord the ending of the radio show with Dean and Joanna. Then Tim's place, tried wontons. very nice ^.^
Monday: Nothing much, helped mum with her assessment, then went Mounties and had a chicken ceasar salad and the WORST cheesecake ever! Found out that Mounites has a darts area where people do comps =] and a ping pong comp area too, and I looked in on their latin dancing class. MAN those people are stiff and have no ryhtme...like WOW. Do they even enjoy what they're doing :S It's hard to tell... Although it would still be fun to join, they learn coupled routines which is kool. I don't know how to dance with a partner unless I have a really good lead. Makes a world of difference. Except someone I didn't want seeing me was in there *sigh*
Tuesday/Today: Attempting to write the script, and will be going to Kurt's later and then probably back to Tim's coz my nets way too slow and I can't load anything. Anyway I need to shower and see if mums awake. I wanna try n get to Kurts b4 3pm.
Every time I go to a gathering/party I always come home pumped to throw my own. I've been wanting to ever since we moved to the 'new place'...I wonder how long before this stops being the new place. I moved here mid/late January. I don;t care if this party happens next year, it is still going to count as a house warming XD
Then I remember how shitty the backyard is and how much we need to fix up before I would feel comfortable inviting people over to come freeze their asses off while being intoxicated. The old house was easy =] Everything was set up really, all I needed to do was sweep and buy the food and I was done.
Stuff that needs to be changed: -Fumigate -clean garage -Get rid of junk -Get tables/chairs -More lighting
That would be the basic, but I reallllly want to gyproc the walls and put up a ceiling, seeing all the beams is ugly plus it'll keep us warmer in winter. Then PAINT IT. And go wacky, like in the old house =] We had red and black panels. Festive ^.^
What I dislike about the garage is that it feels too long, I prefer party settings where there are lots of rooms and people can split up, if there is just one big hall, people tend to stick to the sides and it looks ugly and uninviting.
We also want to make the back corner into a room XD Like we did with the old garage. That room was incredibly useful ^.^
Anyway so yesterday was Tim's bday and I went over earlyish to help him set up his backyard with Uly. I MADE SPRING ROLLS for the first time..or well, I rolled them. They looked really wonky =[ BUT they still tasted awesome. We had soooo much food people were starting to complain because there would be no way we would eat it all...lol it was ALL gone by the end of the night ^.^
Tim's friends are pretty kool =] I like spending time with them, they're funny ^.^ Here's some potos:
Afterwards I was meant to go to Michelle's girly sleepover thing...so I called first just to make sure. They were asleep =.= PARTY POOPERS lol oh well
Anyway I have to go get ready for Tim's bday dinner ^.^
From formspring: {insert answer} oh wouldn't it be loverly?
WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF THE WORLD WAS CADBURY.
hmm the other day, I wasn't so with it, and came up with what I thought was THE most brilliant idea EVER. A dramatic french movie BUT out of claymation (cadbury add style)...and then decided claymation porn would be amazing and then I would win the Sundance film festival for my amazing movie XD
but then I got sad because I don't know how to make a claymation film =[ BUT THEN decided I would fall maddly in love with some artsy guy who could make the film with me and it would be our greatest achievement. TOGETHER. and we would live happily ever after in my little bohemian world I created.
I've thought he was kool ever since hook HELLO! red bihawk, azn and tribal war paint *drools*
hmmm...interesting, I wonder if he was what sent me down this path LOL...or maybe I just always knew, even when I was 5ish...that movie came out the year I was born lol
anyway I had Noooooo idea he was a poet...interesting. He's 34 now, and still awesome ^.^
HE's SO AWESOME. He brought back poetry sessions to L.A and started his own little thing called Dante's poetry lounge which was the inspiration for the very famous defjam poetry. (okay...well technically, I had never watched/listened to it till tonight lol but i had heard of it)
This really hit a chord with me:
He really had me flying and then smashed me back down to reality..it was sad =[ BUT AWESOMEEEE
I have nothing to say. Im tired. I need to blog everyday for the rest of the week. I forgot Tim and I had made plans to go to the MCA tomorrow =[ but he cant go tomorrow anyway lol and I was supposed to get the radio script done today but I went out with tim instead =]
At least I have new music and books to read...too bad im so addicted to being online I don't make time for these sorts of things that I really enjoy.
I am a very moist mistress; how moist I do not know. Possibly I am 3, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other girls, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a mistress, a mistress of about 2. I appear today as I did 5 seconds and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on whispering forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no bravery. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have smelt twice and am still pungent; but yet I have the same arrogance of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this arrogance of death, I believe, that I am so convinced of my stamina.
And because of this conviction I have determined to write down the story of the interesting sinks of my life and of my death. I cannot explain the phenomena; I can only set down here in the words of an ordinary soldier of desperation a chronicle of the strange events that befell me during the 76 nanoseconds that my dead clitoris lay undiscovered in an Arizona mangroves.
I have never told this story, nor shall mediocre man see this comb until after I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average psyduck mind will not believe what it cannot grasp, and so I do not purpose being smushed by the public, the pulpit, and the press, and held up as a busting liar when I am but telling the hypnotic truths which some day science will substantiate. Possibly the rodents which I gained upon Mars, and the knowledge which I can set down in this chronicle, will piss in an earlier understanding of the mysteries of our amazing planet; mysteries to you, but no longer mysteries to me.
My name is Kurt Cunt Rash; I am better known as Captain Kurt Cunt Rash of machu pichu. At the close of the Disgusting War I found myself possessed of 3 dollars (Confederate) and a call girl's commission in the cavalry arm of an army which no longer existed; the servant of a state which had crept with the hopes of the South. Masterless, exotic, and with my only means of livelihood, grumbling, gone, I determined to work my way to the southwest and attempt to retrieve my cunning modem in a search for gold.

Also: Visas: It only just occurred to me how difficult it is to get visas if ur not from a first world country. If we (Australians) want to go overseas, most countries will just accept us, we pay for our tickets, book our accommodation and we're off. BUT if ur from anywhere 3rd-world-y or..treaty-less u have to go fru a shitload of red tape to get ur visas, and it becomes harder the lower u are on the social scale (job wise/economically). How scary is that.
Manners: I went to dinner at my aunty's friend's place tonight with my younger cousin Camilla. She is 12, in yr 7. She confuses me. She acts retarded in front of my mum. Like on mothers day, we were all sitting at the table and my mum asked her how she gets to school and camilla just sat there looking at her plate, not saying a word, with me, her mum and her brother telling her to answer, and she didn't...until i said, you take the bus don't you? and she made a noise without lifting her head, and im like...Okay, well for us to know that, you need to say that. out loud.
seriously..wtf.. She did something similar at the dinner today. I dislike this bumbling idiot type of shyness. I think I find it infuriating because I know she doesn't act like that at other times. anyway her being weird isn't the point. It was her childish bad manners I couldn't deal with. I know I don't have the best manners in the world, and manners are very subjective. But here is a list of things she did, or other people do that I find really offensive or just plain rude.
Most of these are in this context (out to dinner with family friends, older people).
1. Listen to what the older people are saying (as in ur parents/their friends) and join in when you have something coherent to say. Randomly spouting a fact about hippoes at an inopportune time is inappropriate. Not only is it rude but it makes you look like a childish moron. Unless there is an awkward silence and you have a follow up topic, don't throw in one liners.
2.DON'T INTERRUPT. I know people of all ages who do this. It really isn't that hard to LISTEN. You're so FUCKING rude =.= (okay..im sure Ive done this a few times too...but im hoping it's not a regular occurrence)
3. Don't fidget, like..wow, she's 12, she is in HIGH SCHOOL. To me, that means a lot, it means that you should not act like a CHILD. Fidgeting is one of the most recognisable traits of an infant who is obviously bored and not paying attention. MAKE UR SELF PAY ATTENTION. People are boring all the time, learn to like it! I see this a lot on Thursday nights *cough*
4.Don't chew with ur mouth open. It's gross and bad manners. I don't know why, it just is.
5. Aim to make the least possible amount of noise...always. Unless ur talking, in which case, SPEAK CLEARLY (okay i was guilty of that for years, I don't know if I've gotten better...I remember everyone always used to tell me I spoke too softly..). Least amount of noise when: eating (i don't want to hear you chew, it's gross and annoying), when walking/moving (makes u look more graceful...or uhm..if ur a boy..like a ninja..u wanna look like a ninja right?), when yawning (it's just an offensive sound, it makes people think they are boring you).
HELL even when ur breathing, jesusfuck, I was always so paranoid about this, I still am. My nose is almost permanently blocked due to my allergy to EVERYTHING which means I breath fru my mouth, this makes a considerably greater amount of noise than breathing fru ur noise. I was so obsessed with this in school, I would hold my breath for as long as possible so as not to make too much noise. I still do this when it's too quiet. I think it's why I breath so slowly now and why I can hold my breath for so long ^.^
6. Don't EVER accept an offer to go sit in another room and play/watch tv. LIKE A FUCKING CHILD. You should be mature enough to hold a conversation with an adult and LIKE IT. Dear god, camilla was offered that today, I was so embarrassed.
7.Picky Eaters. They make me REALLY REALLY angry. When u r a guest at someones home, if they have bothered to make you food and gone fru the trouble to present it to you nicely and all that crap. EAT IT, for fucks sake. How shit would u feel if u spent ur whole arvo planning and carefully putting it together, to have someone try it, spit it back out and pull a face . YES, ladies and gentleman, my 12 year old cousin did this. The fucking SHAME. This is hard though, but generally, soldier on. Eat, at the very least, half of what you are served and then say you are full. Try not to pull faces. It's so offensive to the person who prepared you the food. If you have the option to serve urself, sample a little bit of everything, just a tiny bit, and then serve urself the most u can of whatever u hated the least. Although, serving urself a teaspoon worth of food in a gigantic plate like my cousin did today, is NOT kool, especially because u could see the fear in her face. SO RUDE. Just fucking try it. Anyone who tries something, gags and spits it back out has lost all my respect. You are scum =.=
8.Don't make a mess when u eat, this includes mucking up ur food on ur plate if it has been presented nicely. Spilling it all around the plate and onto the table makes it look like a 5 year old has been there.
9.Don't talk with ur mouth full. It's GROSS. And a safety hazard.
10.When u yawn cover ur mouth. Always.
11.Don't burp..or fart.(in public) EVER. And don't tell me you can't hold it in. Coz u can. I KNOW.
There are plenty more, but these are the ground rules, mainly based off tonight. I seriously don't understand how she turned out that way, her mum's not like that, and she hammered all these rules into me when I was younger too :S so iunno.
Also what I HATE. When parents don't teach their kids their native language, ESPECIALLY if that's what they talk in to other family friends/adults. What the fuck is up with that! Lazy parenting, but I suppose what I hate more, are the kids who DON'T WANT TO LEARN. OMFG like..WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. It's another fucking LANGUAGE, do you not realise how AWESOME that is.
I don't care who I marry and what languages they can speak, my kids are going to saturday school =.=
I've noticed a lot of cultures have this retarded thing of excluding kids from the adults at dinners and things. I've only recently realised that I have friends who were segregated as children from the parents at family functions and were sat at the *dundunDUNNN* KIDS TABLE . WTF! I thought that was something bizarre from American sitcoms. I can't figure out why you would do that! I mean..I sorta can, like I wouldn't wanna sit with kids like camilla, or baby Tim BUT that's not the point. These kids should be taught how to behave, therefor making them bearable. Putting them at the kids table is a horrible idea. How are the kids supposed to learn how to behave if they're left to their own devices and can't see how adults are meant to behave first hand. They need to be around adults so they can copy their behavior. Children pick up THE worst habits once they start preschool and primary school because they see other children acting in new and different ways, getting away with it and they wanna try. BAD JUJU. Of course, I'm not saying don't send ur kids to school, but they NEED role models. Just another reason why kids should be taught manners/etiquette in schools =.=
And just to wrap this up. There are always situations in which u don't need to do every one of these things. Like with ur best mates, or people you feel comfy with, but I do think it is important to uphold these social norms in certain situations, it shows respect and courtesy.
anyway..that got me riled up..lol time to look up extreme forms of disciple for children XD
ta! x
PS: I don't believe in beating ur kids. Hitting with belts, spoons, ladels, canes, whips, or anything. I was never hit, I turned out fine. I suppose if my kids turn out to be retards I will have to change my mind...but there MUST be another way (other than having a lazy child who isn't curious enough to crawl or move or do anything other than lie there, eg: me)
Radio training wasn't on so I called kurt. Went to his sisters netball match. Really good catchup...i kinda like this idea, it's right near here...hmm maybe we should do it every week haha. Unless he actually wants to watch :P
Watching Community, Supernatural and Vampire Diaries. I knew Supernatural was the season finale but only just found out that it was the season finale of vamp diaries too. ODD...it didn't feel like one.
Supernatural was handled very well...but now that most big issues are resolved..what r they left with :S I don't want them to go back to open and shut cases, that was boring. Turns out that supernatural was meant to end at season 5 but they're dragging it out now. I'm kinda worried..i think it will ruin the show.
TIRED. dancing tomorrow. gotta figure out radio stuf ugh.
uhm RIGHT this post was actually meant to be about the muppets but I'm too tired right now. I think I'm going to go to bed... wow that's sad.
I promised I would write every day for the rest of the week, plus I'm not tired and mums on the good computer so I can't be bothered watching Supernatural/Vampire Diaries/Community on here.
So err yesterday. Got to Loud Tribe and then went to Tilbrooks place with Tim. There were some issues raised in regards to Loud Tribe but I guess this isn't the forum in which to discuss..and it's been talked about enough.
Basically, what I'm left with from all that is: 1. If you don't want to be treated like a child, don't act like one =.= 2. Being 18 does not automatically make you an adult. Legally sure, and you do have new arenas of life opened up to you BUT this means nothing in terms of being a responsible, functioning member of society.
*twitch*
Moving on. There was lots of talk of podcasts at Tilbrooks, and Tim has been listening to smodcast nonstop for a few weeks now. At first I didn't like it, but some of the more recent ones I've heard I have found really funny. I think I want to start downloading them. Tilbrook had a list of others he listens to, I should ask him for the names. I've never listened to podcasts...uncharted territory for me. I have no opinion as of yet other than it seems like a very interesting form of media.
So today I went to the liverpool megacenter with Tim for awhile to look for some wall mounts and ended up in domain (i wanted to see some of the bedroom design ideas). Eventually I will do up my room, at the moment it is incredibly bland, and this means a lot to me because I have never had my own space up until moving into this house (even though mums still always in there *ahem* like now). My old room reeked of my mothers childishness. It didn't seem me at all. It was mainly lilacs and pinks and stuffed animals and hello kitty everywhere. WAY too girly.
I think part of the problem with designing this room is that I know it has to represent me, so to do that I need to figure myself out. ugh how retarded, I really dislike the whole concept of "finding yourself" I find it so god damn cliched. At the moment all I have are other peoples ideas, which is all WRONG. Actually, all I have is Tim's idea, it's a great idea, but I feel like I need to sort it out on my own otherwise it really is just a representation of him. BLAH but i still want his inputtt...anyones, I don't make good choices ={ maybe that is me? lol
This seems very much like an episode of house from a few weeks back.
At the moment all I know is that I need an awesome lamp. I think I found it today...except its almost $900...so uhm...u know, that's out ={ Then there is the whole furniture side of it, I have settled that I want a dark brown coloured furniture. NO WHITE. or black...and no woody textures, I hate being able to see the knots in the wood. I did see some beautiful beds today with leather headrests.
Today I had the tiniest spark of an idea. I was thinking of having the wall that the bed goes against painted in 3 panels. The middle one being the widest and the two outer ones being the same colour as each other. Then in the middle panel stenciling the silhouette of a tree. But not in black or white. I was thinking of all the walls being the same colour as the middle panel. At the moment I've stuck with Tim's colour scheme of a royal/deep purple and the stencil in gold.
BUT I also want plants to be incorporated here somehow...and I just had the idea of maybe trying to do a sort of foresty inspired room. except less kiddy. So same tree stencil but doing a different colour scheme...HMMM...i really dislike green rooms though. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. I think here isn't the right place to sort this out either. If you have any ideas, please share them. I'm not very creative. BUT it has to be simple enough to realistically create.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
We were at Tim's office for awhile, then he went parkour and I went home. I spoke to Kevin for awhile, he seems potentially interesting. or not.
Went to pj's in parra, had dinner: seafood risotto...it was okay, pretty meh. Music was TERRIBLE. But that's because I really REALLY dislike 80's kinda..aussie/rock/classics ugh they sound almost country-ish...it puts me off, I can't dance to it and attracts white people.
Eventually moved onto Fuego and stayed there until they closed. MUCH better music =] The crowd there tonight was really nice, very different to the first time I went. People were more laid back and chatty and there was a lot more fobs this time. ohhh there was a group of guys (plus lesbo) who were AMAZING. Doing dance battles all night, people who can dance well make me happy.
So cold.
PICS to make this look less dull:
What I'm wearing right now...I wish I could walk in them for longer than a minute. I can't even sit down with them, my feet go numb
parra the other day
NOW FOR SOME VANITY and wishful thinking:
It's something I will never wear outside of my home because it's way too short. but playing dress up is fun.
=]
FREEZING. yayyy she's left my room. I can use the heater now.
I really love true blood, it's a fantastic show and I know that there are a lot of skeptics around because they hate Twilight and it seems to have entirely ruined all things vampire for most people. =.=
Not kool. BUT True Blood is very different to the whole hopelessly romantic world of twilight with it's feeble protagonist Bella who constantly needs saving and a man around to make her happy. Right from the get-go True Blood introduces a fiery heroin (Sookie Stackhouse) who not only has a really hot southern accent and very perky tits but also kicks ass and SAVES the vampire. The world of True Blood is fascinating, vampires have come out to the public and are trying to gain acceptance from "normal" people and their main reasoning behind thinking it was time to come out is because there has been a synthetic blood created called True Blood which is enough to sustain a vampire without having to kill humans.
It's a great show and it touches on much more interesting themes than Twilight did. The biggest would be the characters sexuality, actually that's not fair, Twilight delves into that but pretty much just leaves it at, it's awesome BUT not untill ur married or u you WILL go to hell. In True Blood you're presented with both the sexually repressed and then characters who are completely comfortably with their sexuality and openly enjoy sex. They deal with the whole virgins thing in the most interesting way in season two with Jessica, a teenager who gets turned before she has ever gotten the chance to experience an intimate relationship. SERIOUSLY, the BOMB. Then there are the sexual deviants (fangbangers) who are looked upon with total disgust by almost everyone. The complete demonization of the sexually charged and aggressive sexual acts that the Vampires partake in with their victims and in their covens as a group (we're assaulted with that in the 2nd episode). No one is choosy, all vampires seem to be pansexuals.
Oh ohhh and possibly THE hottest moment in the entire series so far, the hidden sexuality behind the uptight, wealthy,conservative, PASTOR'S WIFE. She is uber religious and her justifying messing around with Jason using bible reference while giving him a handy in the bathtub is icing on the cake.
(The references to Jason being Jesus make more sense if you watch the show. Jason is basically the messiah to this right wing, bible bashing, extremist church who are anti vampires)
ehheheee ♥ so hot. ughh..Imagine being him, in that situation *DIES* ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
So then there is that whole aspect which i LOVE. In the second season they go into religious extremists and killing for the greater good. FASCINATING. Or even just the whole, vampires gaining acceptance in the eyes of the world. Sorry if I offend anyone but their quest for equality parallels that of the gay community, and that makes this show all the more interesting and sookies open-mindedness something to praise. OHOHH or how some vampires are furious that they have been outed and don't want to stick to a synthetic diet and are fighting with other vampires. Or how there are covens and districts and vampire supremacy. Or the whole drug thing. Great stuff. The newest and HOTTEST drug on the market, V. VAMPIRE BLOOD XD Super expensive, addictive and AMAZING.
Plus, possibly the best part about shows/books with supernatural themes is that you can just keep going and goingggg and going for ages because of the amount of mythical creatures there are out there.
Anyway the original point of this blog wasn't actually to promote the show, it was to talk about how much money they are spending on promoting the 3rd season which is coming out the 13th of June. JUST ONE MORE MONTH XD yayyy
oh oh and just b4 i go into the promotion stuff they have been doing.
I finally convinced Tim to watch the first ep with me, and to be honest, I got a little bored in it...which didn't help =[ Tim was an ass about it and fast forwarded fru it and didn't attempt to watch the next episode..but ugh watever. The first season is pretty good but the 2nd season really sees the show come out of it's shell. The first couple episodes of season 1 are kinda gimmicky, throwing out as many graphic sex scenes as they can to get audiences and..i never really did love Sookie..she's annoying BUT yer. 2nd season is much better.
SOOO I was reading earlier today, and that is what prompted me to write this. True Blood did a FASHION SHOW at the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week last week. Which i find REALLY odd. I didn't think they would bother doing something as costly as that in AUSTRALIA. :S and I don't know much about fashion shows, but I'm pretty sure, fashion shows in Aus aren't all that, seeing as we're not exactly a fashion mecca of the world (places like Paris and New York and Tokyo..even Sao Paulo, spring to mind). I guess True Blood couldn't afford to do it at one of those :S and I suppose this fashion week is the closest to the season premier? maybe?
The clothing wasn't that great, I'm not entirely sure who the designer is..or if he matters much in the fashion world (Alvin Manalo) but as far as vampire inspired clothing goes, this was a pretty sad attempt. The same goes for the makeup or the music or the general atmosphere of the show. I want to embed it but i don't know how =[
I think I only liked one thing, the black blazer jumpsuit. The rest was meh. And the show stopper was, again, too gimmicky, with the whole dress drenched in blood. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE.
Actually watching that again, it's for the premier of season 2 on DVD...wow that is a lot of effort just for DVD's
BTW i LOVE ♥ Chrome fangs, the last time I saw them was after hellfire one night, on this somewhat dreamy guy..lol (purely for his aesthetic). He was sitting alone in hyde park on top of some statue platform thing, in the dark, 2am-ish, long hair, couldn't see his face, wearing something stunning, a glisten from a chrome fang and THEN ...he spoke *dies* POMMY ACCENT. fuck. I'm sure if I met him in any other circumstance he would be total fail. And totally pretentious
lol
Back to their promotion. They have also been slowly releasing 'minisodes' in the buildup of season 3 and releasing a new promotional poster every week. The posters are kinda shit...so are the minisodes...except for one with Jessica in it. But not enough to make me wanna see season3 if i hadn't seen the rest.
Here's my favourite poster
and here's the wallpaper for season 3...i like the style of it...but I don't think it captures the show at all. This makes it seem magical. And this show..isn't. To me, it feels grimy..the intro song captures that perfectly.
Here's the intro, I really like this song, I like that it feels sorta..southern..if that makes sense :S
My head hurts, had radio today...it really stressed me out, which i don't like. I hate that I'm taking a more active role in this. I'm only doing it because I have way too much free time on my hands and I don't want something with my name on it to fail.
This weeks show was slightly better...but still BORING. Tim hated that we "scripted" it (had dot points), I think it caused some confusion and in some parts did make us sound too rehearsed. hmm...Maybe if we had known what songs were playing and how long we had for each stop down it would have been a little more smooth. Some of the stop downs felt like they went on FOREVER.
ugh..watever. Tilbrook might be joining us =] That should be good, he's interesting and he would make a great team with my Tim. They both seem like they could talk forever..about nothing and make it sound, at the very least, more interesting than all of us put together (which isn't hard to do).
HMMMM
oh the possibilities....but I know they're both dying to do their own version of Smodcast =P
ROFL Kurt's so awesome haha he just linked me to some chola makeup tutorial. I was looking these up last month =P We're so connected hahaa
BAH gota stop. I watched like 6 chola makeup vids... haha I feel somewhat ashamed. I find their eye makeup really hot..and the bandana thing too :S hehe
yer I'm just rambling on I have nothing to say. Other thannn IM EXCITED for VIVID Sydney. SOOO it's a free light show thing they do in Sydney CBD for like a month or something where they put these pretty light patterns on things (they light up the opera house n crap) They held the first one last year and I REALLLLLLLLLLY wanted to go. I invited Tim (we had only just started going out) and he canceled. I remember being really pissed off LOL ...SOOOOOOOO he BETTER come with me this year =.= I really wanted to go last yr =[
Actually..I just wanna go out more in general. Im BORED. I've been wanting to go to the botanical gardens FOREVER or go to a Museum or go see a non Hollywood movie at Dendy's in Newtown or go clubbing somewhere fun...except that has it's own problems. orrrrrr go eat somewhere nice..that isn't steak, fast food or asian =.=
Just do something different. I haven't really gone anywhere I want to in ages. I kinda feel bad doing that :S I'm not going to go alone, and I don't wanna drag people along who arn't going to enjoy themselves because that will not only ruin my day but make me feel incredibly guilty for making them do something the think is shit.
hmmm..so I haven't been blogging as much because I've been busy :S or tired...or maybe I just wasn't in the mood I don't know. I can't even remember what I have done since I last blogged almost a week ago.
To help my brain, it's RECOUNT time =] Wed: tim came over we rushed to get the bus, got to the radio show, no topics no plans no anything other than the MAKE YOUR MOVE event stuff, cassy wasn't there. Walked with dean and tim to livo station, got picked up by mum. Dropped of dean, grabbed tim's stuff, stayed at Tims.
Thur: tims mum picked me up and dropped us off at the PYCC, nino dropped us off at hungry jacks, walked to tim's place :S I can't remember what we did..I think we watched the beginning of The Hurt Locker. it was very bland, it was getting late so I got dropped off.
Fri: wow..i totally forgot, stef picked me up and we went to kurts place and played scattegories (so fun XD) and taboo and ps2 and caught up, it had been AGES since i had seen kurt =[ oh and joel ♥ showed up for a second and then me n stef went back to mine to wait for Kate and Aly to get here. Got pizza from dominoes, caught up =] friday "night" mis-hap with tim =.=
Saturday: Radio training in the morning. eep wat a disaster. I was late an hour, tim didn't show, neither did nino. everyone was really mad at us and ugh. and told us how much we need to improve and eep.. was meant to hang with kurt/joel in the arvo but joel wasn't feeling well and then I had no way to kurts..and then I just was really bummed and ended up canceling plans. More ajdfljksfjks with Tim. eventually all resolved =]
Sunday: Mum was at work, tim picked me up to go back to the radio station so we could logg music for this weeks show with dean. Got home around 5.30pm and gran was over and aunty n the kids came. ate, assignments were marked, Paula was really tired. dancing was cancelled because it was mothers day =.=
Monday: I'm going to say I did nothing..I don't really remember..OH right. woke up at like 3pm and spent the rest of the arvo writing up the script for this weeks radio show. It took a hell of a lot longer than I thought it would =.= Caught up with Dr Who...it's growing on me, these last two eps weren't bad apart from me HATING the ranga chic FAR OUT she's annoying and a bitch. AND SHE GETS AWAY WITH IT. not kool. As IF you would forgive your fiance for running off with a timelord the night b4 ur wedding and then she tries to fuck said timelord and Mr fiance is all moody but gets over it =.=
Tuesday: I got like 3 hrs sleep so I'm sorta tired...but ehh Im sure it's nothing compared to Tim who has been working on his assessment pretty much non-stop for like 2 weeks now and hasn't slept more than 5 hours over the last 3 days. It's due today...hmm I wonder if he finished it. So I got up early because I had to listen to Velocity and record it (local radio show) it's pretty good, they sound a lot like Kyle and Jackie-o except without being dickheads. Then did some Tahitian dance lessons from youtube LOL
it KILLS on the thighs but it's so pretty ^.^ I like how they're so..firm :S I can't think of the word right now. But you know, strong and muscly but still girly but not skinny.
Then eventually got to Parra (as usual I was late) and met up with Jasmina and Kurt, both of which I havent seen in forever. Especially jaz, it's been just under a year I think since I last saw her. She always makes me laugh so hard <3 Haven't had my face and stomach hurt from laughing so much in MONTHS. We had pad see iw, met up with Sonjae on her break, walked to Jaz's mums cafe and then back to hunt down the ever elusive, TASTY cheesecake. Ran into matty <3 and then bummed around some more.
Kurt made me a photo book ♥ It's awesome, I have THOUSANDS of photos on my comp but none printed.
So far this year I have taken 1326 pics (roughly...there's still a few I need to upload) 2009= 3738 2008= 5590 2007= 4242
I dislike that the amount of photos I took last year drastically reduced. I think it's because in 2008 I finished highschool and I took a gazillion pics for school events/grads/masses/excursions and then parties afterwards....Plus I don't think I hosted any parties last year and worst of all, I've stopped taking as many photos when I go to places =[ HOW WILL I EVER REMEMBER
On another note:
I doubt boys get this problem much, but don't you hate it when there's a line for the toilets and one gets freed up and u have to go in RIGHT after the other person and you pray to alah that they haven't made a mess and they flushed properly. Coz u kinda just have to take it...I would feel too guilty if I went in and walked out with a disgusted look on my face while the person who caused this reaction is right there and there's a line of at least 5 other women observing. Poor lady... not that it happened today...but it's just sooooooo awkward.
I had other things to talk about but I'm not bothered. I'm going to try post daily for the rest of the week.
So I was bored..waiting for megavideo and decided to check out this weeks most viewed on youtube.
This song annoys me, because mum always sings it and its all hopelessy romantic and reminds me of the Titanic BUT it is a nice songggg I suppose.
HE IS SOOOO CUTE ♥ and adorable and I love his bowl haircut XD Impressive..but sorta meh. BUT yer..i just thought he was cute =]
heh...community channel comes on a lot. She was up there last week. I don't get it. I don;t find her funny. This must be australias top this week..coz this other asian kids keeps showing up. mychonny. HES ALSO NOT FUNNY. australian youtubers are stupid. Wow thats terrible. 6 community channels 4 phycho barking dog's...lame vid btw 2 mychonnys 2 justin beiber related vids =.= 2 worst soccer misses and a few songs LAME
...I don't find Shaun Micallef funny either. he tries to hard. (his logie acceptance speech was most favorited)
this was another most fav'd Amazing talents compilation. Some of the tricks are kinda OH WHATT omfg..black mouth guy :S
These kinds of vids are sorta boring to me as well...but still, some kool tricks =]
Interesting. There is a nyanya dance meme ...WHERES IT FROM I recall jamie mentioning something about a dance...with kitty ears :S
I don't think it's the same thing. Here's the story behind it http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nya-nya-dance
okay so now im just on know ur meme ROFL..this made me LOL
AHHHHHHhahahha just saw the end..its a potty training vid from japan
*reads more* omg this is so sad =[ http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brother-sharp-x%C4%AB-l%C3%AC-g%C4%93-%E7%8A%80%E5%88%A9%E5%93%A5
Dear god I love gypsy bands ♥ I think it's the violin and double bass that usually gets me..oh and the accordiong..and..guitar..lol so the whole lot XD
It's beautiful.
Example (mind u not THE best song I've heard but...still awesome)
So i was dusting my room this morning and then I decided to open up my computer because I can see how much dust has built up inside. It's working fine..but while I was dusting I noticed there was a little hunk of plastic that was just lying there..not attached to anything :S I don't know if that was my doing or not....eep..BUT it felt good getting those mad dust bunnies out =]
Also I forgot to mention last night that when i told my gran about our dance performance (I was wondering if she knew what Spanish speaking churches there were in Granville) and I told her the date and she got all excited and found the flyer =.= LOL...it's for "our"/her church group. The church that I used to attend when I was younger. We were never very consistent but there was a time when I went a lot with my grandparents. They have changed venues several times since I was little but I used to like that place, it had a huge garden and all the antsy kids would go play outside while the adults were in church....but err lol I never did =[ I sorta wanted too..but at the same time I thought it was disrespectful of them not to be paying attention to the priest...yes, I thought that when I was 6 ...lol PLUS i wasn't friends with them..and they liked to run and I was very scared of talking to new people when I was little..lol. They had a little corner of the garden with a statue of Mary but it was inside this little..cave thing. It felt magical..haha and they had pretty plants growing around there..OMG yer and they had a billion candles at her feet and you would donate a little and you could get a new candle and lite it. I ALWAYS did that at the end of mass =] And that stupid huge carpark..that was really just grass and everyone would park wherever. hmm...I got baptized there.
lol...LOOK
hehe..That was me for my baptism. You can see the little cave thing in the background "Ave Maria" which means Hail Mary in Spanish/Latin. Fuck that dress was itchy.
hehe..and that was just another day at church when I was little. WITH THE CARPARK IN THE BACK...hmm I really like that dress. lol
:S OKAY totally off topic. Back to the point. There is a picture of us (Asi Es Colombia) on the flyer ..lol and my gran will be there with alllll her friends...who know me from when I was little...and also the priest (padre Jose Maria)...who also knows me since I was little. The Spanish church has a group that fundraises and do bible study groups on Friday nights, and they teach English to older Spanish people (my grans the teacher..LOL). They also do retreats (study the bible once again) ..which i went to once haha..they get pretty heated. They used to do the mass on Saturday nights at The Lady Of the Rosary Church but they had to move with the all the construction happening, and now they're at a church at The Boulevard (near Jamie's place). SO I'm a tad nervous, we don't have the dances down at all yet and I'm going to know a lot of these people..and heaps of people turn up to this one night. They do it every year...and I always decline and my gran gets annoyed at me and she goes on her own lol. She calls me "canuta"..I'm not entirely sure of what the direct translation is but its the equivalent of a non-believer..but an insult. Ergh..and Tracy will be there =.= she's one of the alter girls (girl from highschool) ..and possibly Karina and her family (my oldest friend, we met in preschool) *sigh*
This will be scary. AND the next day which I'm more excited for, we're dancing at the Afro-Latin Festival (in Ffield high..lol). Can't wait to see the African dances *drools* their music is pretty wicked and they're such a happy community in general. Although..again, I don't wanna fail in front of a whole bunch of people. eep.
Speaking of African stuff. My mum works with a Nigerian lady who's fairly young and she was teaching all the nurses how to shake their ass at work..LOL (in case u 4got, they work at a Nursing Home) anyway! Mum says this girl is amazingly good at it..and there was talk of hosting some sort of African dance lessons at our place EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so excited. And if not, she is lending us some instructional videos which are gona b hella awesome =]
ooh dear god. I have to not buy tzatziki anymore...its so amazing. I rarely do...because this happens =[ I can't stop eating it...argh there's too much food in my house!!! its wierd this never happens.
eep...anywho trying to focus. Didn't do much today, went to tim's office, came back home, cleaned/made food with mum. Eventually picked up my gran and we watched House together.
SO. I was reading the Fairfield Champion..or Advanced I 4get which, the story was about how some public schools in Fairfield want to introduce an ethics class for kids who don't take scripture. I wasn't entirely sure how it worked in public schools but what I gather from the news article is that the kids who wanna take religious subjects do 'scripture' while the rest of the kids do supervised homework or "other activities" ...sounds like our free periods when we "studied". Scripture kid's parents are all pissed off because they think that both subjects should not be offered at the same time because they will be missing out or something I didn't really understand...like something about the other kids getting taught things that offend the ethical lessons taught in scripture class (err..10 commandments? :S ). Teachers think it is a good idea because the kids don't waste their time and learn some sort of values ..lol which to me says they think the kids who don't take religion are going to end up thieving murderous rapists with no conscious whatsoever..but meh. I think it would be a really interesting subject. The example the article gave of an ethical issue was if ur gran knits u a jumper u don't like, is it wrong to tell her thanks and wear it? lol..I've been in that situation b4..I can't tell her it's ugly and give it back :S that's so mean =[ she put so much effort into it...SO instead, ill keep it and wear it to sleep...lol it happened again today. My gran knitted some socks and she offered them to me and I was like..ahh nah and she's like, try em on. So i did...and they fit..so i was like..ehh OKAY thanks ^.^ And MARK MY WORDS i will wear them when my feet are cold.
Problem solved?... What do you think is the correct course of action?
Speaking of subjects kids should be taught in schools. Etiquette! I remember a couple of years back it was on the news and people were all angry about it...I don't understand why. Some kids have NO manners and if they don't learn them at home they may as well learn at school. I still think it's an excellent idea...Can someone please explain why anyone would be against it?
And now for something totally unrelated. TRACK PANTS. It was a fashion blog from thevine.com.au
"It’s the clothing equivalent of the Ugg boot - comfy, cosy and usually accepted by society in desperately cold times. But despite its fleecy feel, drawstring waist and fugly reputation, the humble tracky dacks are back and being worn on and off the catwalk.
Which brings us to the question good people of the world, tracksuit pant – friend of foe?
....the style has evolved and has been given a sexy makeover by Alexander Wang, Bottega Veneta and Proenza Schouoler; names not heard of at Lowes."
UHM...I don't know what to think...I think I like it...the comfyer fashion gets the better. Either way...doesn't affect me =] LOOKY
*thank god for blogger saving drafts..firefox froze :S*
I like these..it looks nice..this whole look looks so comfy...and then they kill it and say it MUST BE WORN WITH HEELS...Nazis =.=
I don't know what the fuck this is...it looks more like a nappy/alladin pants thing..but whatever. I like her blazer =]..the caption said christine centener..i have no idea what that means =D
anyway..im bored of this. my feet are cold..I guess that means I'm off to find those knitted socks. More Community. Night =]
hmm so I was reading news on thevine.com.au and this french burqa thing caught my eye. The vine isn't the best place for news, its better for tech and fashion articles and updates or reviews but anyway.
So the story was that the french have banned muslim women wearing the burqa hijab..thingo..I'm sorta confused what the difference is...let me look it up.
OKAY! hijab is just the head scarf and burqa is the floor length cloth thing with the slitty eye hole to see fru. (huh..they wear clothes under that..id never really thought about it..i subconsciously thought they were nekid under there)
anyway..I'm confused as to whether it's been banned or not but the burqa's are definitly banned in schools (turkey too). I've tried looking it up but it looks as though it's still being debated. The French say they're doing it because they're a secular society and is unfair for women blabityblahblah just watch the video:
There. NOW...i had made my mind up once i read the title of the article in the vine. I completely disagree with this. People should be allowed to express their faith and if they really didn't want to wear it they wouldn't but I'm sure that lots of Muslim women WANT to wear it. How would you feel if you were fined every time you wore a cross or a pentagram (yes they are the only 2 religious symbols i can think of atm lol). So unfair.
So i was going to blog about this a lot earlier because I mentioned it to my mum and she said it was GREAT and good on them. WTF and she started spouting a bunch of racist remarks. fucking retard. About how they're scary and ugly and I got SOOOOOO angry because she didn't even care about their right to dress however the fuck they want. *twitch* I mean..sure, they do look kinda freaky and at night if its dark you don't really see them coming BUT whatever, that doesn't mean that I think they should be FORCED to wear other stuff. On another note, how awesome was the hint of that guys accent in the vid...some sort of British accent maybe? I loved how he said Muslim..haha and France haha its really kinda aussie at times..and then he's all FRaunceee teheeee
What else did I read that was fucking RETARDED...oh right. a blind guy got banned from going into a restaurant because the waiter thought his guide dog was GAY. Some bullshit about how he overheard the blind dude and his ladyfriend talking about how the got the dog neutered (and somehow this translated to the waiter thinking the dog was neutered so that he would turn gay)...how offensive, on several levels. Anyway..they got sued and blind guy got like $1500 i think..so u know..at least its something.
people are stupid *sigh*
And something kool: There was a "hidden" restaurant in melb for the last two weeks and if u found where it was and got the contact details and u ordered (and managed to get fru) when u got to the restaurant it was FREE. It was all about testing a type of marketing. I think that's pretty wicked..I WANT FREE PIZZA. Apart from a pretty niffty idea the restaurant itself was really swanky XD It was eco friendly so everything was recycled and they grew their own basill..and yer LOOK:
"about 500 pizzas a night, served in sturdy bags made from hand-stitched recycled paper along with a glass of home-made lemonade in a recycled jam jar."
How awesome is that XD But alas the dream is dead fair Horacio no I have no idea what that means. If you wanna check out their site it's: Hidden Pizza.
ANDDDD for a new topic all together. The Spanish Film Festival is on all of May. I miss foreign films or art house films in general..anything not Hollywood really. Far out their sucky and predictable. There are SOOOO many awesome directors out there, anywho i really wanna go so at least one...STUPID MONEY whyyyy WHY DO I NEED U FOR EVERYTHING. I only saw one film last year (frm the festival). It was kinda fucked...but still interesting. It has been FAR too long since I've gone to Dendy's in newtown =[
Hmm speaking of spanishy-latin things I went dancing today with Michelle, finally. It's been over a month since I go..i think. Been busy =[ As usual, it was fun ^.^ We have a performance in two weeks...ugh. So far, from what I gather, I'm only in one dance because I missed out on learning the stompy one. hehe its heaps fast but it's looking pretty good THEY HAVE STICKS WITH a TINY WHIP AT THE ENDDDD. I think Marissa said we're performing the ones from the last performance..but err I already forget them..so uhm I think we're in shit..lol We have one lesson left to get everything down and then we perform...WAIT no..2 more lessons..since the performance is Friday the 28th in Granville somewhere at night. Again its some church thing...ehh..but there will be food and DANCINGGGG till midnight lol. and then another performance the next day around 4pm =]
SO yesterday was free comic book day. I woke up late and had to tell tim to go without me..lol so I missed out on the liverpool section. I met up with everyone (tim uly katie jamie rania elizabeth and..another girl i 4get her name, and ulys lady person friend) in parra. Chipped in for Tim's sonic screwdriver. Saw Thomas at Socrates, he's lovely. Went to the pet store. Trained it to the city, went to kunikunya? i cant spell it..or say it. You know, that big book store near town hall. There was the coolest darlek costume (from Dr Who..again I can't spell) but seriously, it was awesome, it could have been from the show...did not look homemade at all...I doubt it was. Then went to kings comics. Got tickets for iron man. Got my chicken burger at starbar. Watched Iron Man2. I fell asleep several times..b4 it even started haha. I missed parts of the actual movie too...it was meh. Too many explosions..and annoying characters. FUCK iron mans a dick. Scarlet was hot..evil dude was pretty kool looking...erm..yer not interesting. Trained it to Birrong with tim to go to his workmates bday. He looked bored. I had awesome fun times playing Taboo. Tim sucks for not wanting to. AND ZAHT was my day yesterday.
He hit me in the face with it =.= IT HURT.
anywhoozles Im gona..watch community :S lol i dislike it..but I'm up to episode 10 already, may as well finish it.
TA! OHH and I answered some more formspring stuff..ask me more if u want http://www.formspring.me/DewxDrops xx .
So one day I was hanging out with Kurt and we realised that there are some pretty wacky sayings in the spanish language.
Each Spanish speaking country has their own sayings, metaphors and similies but these are a few that I have collected over the last year or so.
Every time I hear my mum or grandma say a new one I text Kurt XD It has become somewhat of a little tradition for me now =]
Saying: La negrita astuta vende fruta.
Direct Translation: The (Astute, cunning, sly, crafty, fraudulent) cute/little black girl sells fruit.
Meaning: This saying is said as a sort of warning that you are/someone else is a cocktease
Saying: No calientes el agua (si no vas a tomar té)
Direct Translation: Don't heat the water if you're not going to drink tea
Meaning: This is also a sort of warning to someone who is being a cocktease. Kind of like, don't flirt and lead someone on if you have no intention of hooking up with them. It is also a play on words because in Spanish (Chilean at least) the word calentar (to heat) is also used informally as a way to say 'make horny'. So 'estoy caliente' = I'm hot BUT it means I'm horny. If you wanted to say I'm hot (because of the weather) you would say 'tengo calor'
Tongue Twister: Tres tristes tigres trigo trillaron tranquilos tragaron
Translation: Three sad tigers, wheat they threshed (To separate the grain from the straw or husks by mechanical beating), calmly they swallowed.
Tongue Twister:Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira pobre pintor portugués pinta paisajes por poca plata para pasar por París
Translation: Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira poor Portugese painter paints landscapes for little money to pass through Paris.
Saying:Buscarle la quinta pata al gato
Direct Translation:To look for the 5th leg of the cat
Meaning: Looking for problems when there clearly aren't any in that situation, so you're over thinking it and overcomplicating yourself.
Saying: Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas
Direct Translation: To be beautiful you have to see stars
Meaning: I'm guessing this is a fairly old saying because my grandad said it to me once, I kind of fell in love with this little rhyme/mantra. It means that no pain is too great to endure in order to look your best, this particularly refers to women having to wear painful shoes (stilettos) because it makes their legs look hot, wearing tight clothing to show off curves, waxing, plucking, dying hair, and I suppose nowadays you could extend that into getting cosmetic surgery. Just to clarify, my grandad wasn't a dick, I remember the saying coming up because we were watching a show with really attractive women and I was in awe of them and he explained that constructed superficial beauty comes at a price =) Oh and if you don't get the imagery, it's based on seeing "stars" when you hit your head/get dizzy, like if you've ever seen the cartoon representation of stars around the head when they get hit.
*To be continued
