It's been so long since I blog properly and something that I find worse is that I have 2 massive drafts of posts I never finished because I lost my steam. NOT KOOL

I've also been capped which means that I haven't really got anything interesting to show you...and I just feel like blabbing on about myself so go away if you don't wanna hear it.

I guess I'll go by day XD

Tuesday:
Tuesday's are pretty much my only weekday off since Thursday I spend my whole day doing Loud Tribe crap.

SO this week I had to wake up early and go to a meeting and represent LOUD! Tribe *sigh* but it was okay, it was sorta scary. There is an event happening in october at Fairfield Forum that is being run by another community group but they have asked LOUD! Tribe to help them run the stage. So this was my second meeting with them, they have one monthly. The first one I went to I was with Tim and there wasn't much point of us being there because they didn't have anything all that useful to tell us. Now that they've got a few more things sorted they actually had stuf to talk to me about. I felt like I was pushed straight into the deep end. I have NO clue how to run a stage successfully. There are a few members of the tribe that do but obviously they couldn't attend the meeting with me =.= I felt really pressured, because suddenly when we got up to the part about the stage and lineup they all turned to me and waited for my opinion. Then the police lady was like well your the expert on how to run the stage so what do you think we should do with blahblah. I had to bullshit my way around it. I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE. Very intimidating...but oh well. My task is to find 2 acoustic acts willing to play. I've got Adam locked in already which is perfect, he's local and we've worked with him b4 and he's one of Tim's friends so it works out. Now I just need to make some calls. It's only for a ten minute set and the event is tiny. The crazy part is that they booked in my dance group to perform b4 I was even working with them LOL....

That's going to be embarrassing *sigh* managing the stage AND dancing to traditional Colombian folk songs.

Eventually I got back home and later on Tim picked me up and we drove around a bit. Got coffee ♥ and then went to visit the awesomest of awesome, Warren =] Chilled out...then I think I went home and studied.

Wednesday:
I went into uni for my bio tutes...was completely bored out of my mind, then went to my tut for Research and evidence based research. Surprisingly that class is super interesting. Except for the fact that we're moving at a snails pace and a lot of the students are like..mentally delayed or some shit. I don't get why they don't understand it's just concepts. Seriously, last week we "learnt" how to write a question =.= This week was how to read a journal article. ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD. We really didn't need to waste a whole lesson on that. I was raging quite hard that day. People are so annoying and stupid sometimes.

1. Rephrasing the teachers statements and trying to sound smart because you understood.
YOU'RE A MORON if you had to clarify in the first place AND asking the teacher after EVERYTHING she says "oh so did you mean blah??" and then feeling proud because they were right. FUCK. It's annoying too...there's this one WOMAN (45?) who does it soooo often. I want to jam a Yorkshire terrior down her throat. SHUT THE FUCK UP

2. Telling the teacher a "did you know"
I'm sure you've come across it at least once, it didn't happen as much in high school to me...maybe in the junior years, but again, there are plenty of WOMEN who do this at uni. I don't know why, it's mostly ladies in their 40's. They read the related material or the text book and come to class acting all superior and trying to impress the teacher. I really don't understand where they are coming from. Do they honestly think that they know more than the teacher? She obviously knows what the fuck ur talking about. They're the ones who put up the reading material. FUCK. ur not special just because u can regurgitate a textbook word for word. Stupid idiots. Unless you've read something that JUST came out and isn't blatenly obvious from reading every other book, I really think people should keep their mouths shut.

Like on wednesday, there was some idiot who was reading that handout we had ALL just gotten and turning to the people around her and putting on an air of superiority telling them all these things. The EXACT same things that were in the handout we just got. UR NOT SMART BECAUSE U FINISHED READING A HANDOUT 2 SECONDS B4 EVERYONE ELSE AT UR TABLE. Dumb bitch. It's like watching a movie with someone who turns to you every 5 minutes and says "omg did you just see that!?" Ah, yer I did fuckwit, I'm sitting right here watching it with you.

=.=

3. Idiots
Some people really are just dense. They don't understand really simple comcepts...it's wierd, and really only annoying when they become dependednt on you to help them understand and waste MY time. Sometimes I wonder if those people really are that stupid or want me to do their work for them.

I made tacos on wednesday. They tasted awesome XD
There was also a few issues with the radio program. I haven't done it for awhile now and I stopped writing the script, and now Tim has pulled out of LOUD! Tribe except for when I ask him for help with a flyer or something or attending events. They're running out of people to host it....=.= I could rant on for awhile about that but here is not the place.

THURSDAY:
Was a very long day. I woke up and went straight to the Park's office to do the paperwork stuff and then off to the drop in to manage the front desk and then host the meeting. On the plus side I discovered that red lee sells some very filling chicken + salad rolls for like $3.50 XD Tim had uni that night so I didn't see him. Although we did talk on the phone extensively about this and that and eventually moving in together. He's thrown the idea around right from the start and to be honest, it's starting to sound better haha...but it would mean he would move in with me. Either way...a lot could happen b4 that becomes an economically feasible option. BUT it is an option =]

Friday
Nice start to the day, sorta. I woke up to a banging at my window. It was tim ♥ with BREAKFAST. He is a legend. If I hadn't been so tired it would have been perfect but seriously best idea ever. I love him so much =] He's so sweet sometimes. I can't remember what I did for the rest of the day...tim left...i think I slept till like 5pm after he left lol

Saturday
Our performance for that night got cancelled =[ Which should have meant I could go to Kate's 20th bday thing. She went to lazer tag and then hooters. I didn't have enough money. SO I went to Kurt's place instead. MUCH FUN. Blurry fun. His brothers are HILARIOUS and they're so adorable, even Ryan. He tries to act all tough and threatening with the way he speaks but he's such a sweetheart. AND HE PLAYS GUITAR sorta...he could be realllly good if he learnt properly. He knows all hard bits but not full songs. OMG and Tears in Heaven. Soooo sad but well played =]

I had a fantastic time, we hadn't hung out in forever and it was goodgood. Until I got home and got mega upset again over Alex. He's stuck in my head....I don't know why it's come out so much this week.

I spoke to tim alot...but it all feels kind of fuzzy.

Today:
Tim was amazing once again and drove me to dancing for no apparent reason and STAYED. =] He makes me happy. We learnt all new chori so I was pretty pumped. Then tim broke the shelf and my energy levels dropped drastically. I was even more excited becauseee....TIM IS GOING TO PERFORM IN ONE OF THE DANCES. I'm sooooo excited. It's called the dance of the dead and Tim is playing Death. XD he get's to kill us off and try to distract us from dancing and then there will be an epic battle between him and peter at the end. haha XD He gets to dress up like a skeleton and FACEPAINT.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
funfunnn
Tim actually picks up the steps really quickly, so proud =]
I love him.

Then he left but me and peter went back to Tim's after dancing and watched Stranger than fiction and a bit of tv while tim slept haha...

I'm kinda dead too but I have one more episode of Huge left and I'm up to date. It's a new show it's SOOOO good. Maybe it's just coz I'm fat and I get what the characters are going through haha...It's about these teenagers at fat camp. It has the girl from Hairspray in it. It's really interesting, all the actors are obese and iunno..everything feels really authentic. I really like it, despite the fact that it makes me sad at the same time.

Any who...
I'm going to finish it and sleep XD

btw just one more part left and I'm finally finished with Interview with a Vampire.

xx

& Kitty goes MeOw.

Español.

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.
