So I'm a bit restless these days....
After C2B2, I saw Jersey Boys with Mum...it was soooo great to see it again, and even better than I remembered! Mum had a great time too.
It was weird having Anthony Harkin from Rock of Ages in it though...messed with my head a little. hah.
Last weekend Ness and I went to a benefit concert at Her Majesty's with the cast of C2B2, Jersey Boys and King Kong. It was cheap, but there was some good stuff. Francine Cain got to sing - which is more of her than you get to see in Chitty....but anyways.
We were front row...which was not the best for this show, but still good.
Ness and I have booked our flights to Hawaii. We are looking at hotels and activities, and will book more soon.
Work is okay. I take a different way to and from work now - which is working out well. Less traffic, and quicker. So that is one thing that makes my days better.
Last week I was crazy busy, and this week its a little quieter...which is good, but can be a bit boring sometimes.
Next week is Easter, so yay for a long weekend. Looking forward to my trip in June though.

Welcome to 2013
So its finally happening. I am neglecting the blogging. I'm guessing a result of having too much tv to watch, and being at work all the time, and having no time to write stuff down.
I haven't done much this year. I had a good New Years Eve. Went to Kay and Nick's and played a weird ass card game. But it was fun.
New Years Day I went to see Les Miserable. Which was really good.
I officially started my permanent employment with City of Port Phillip on the 31st of December. It was cool having a paid day off straight away.
Then on the 15th of January I took 2 days off and Ness and I went up to Sydney to see Legally Blonde again. It was great, and we chatted to everyone after the show. I got photos with David and Rob. But the stage door was CRAZY. We had to line up way out down the street, but they were all really nice and talked to everyone anyways.
Lucy told us she wasn't going to be doing the matinee the next day, so we were really really bummed....but at least we were warned. We spent the evening missing our post chatting to Lucy buzz.
But Tegan who is her understudy was good, although nobody can replace Lucy!
It was a quick little trip, back by 9pm Wednesday and back to work on Thursday.
Haven't been up to much else. Went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the musical at Her Majesty's theatre on the 7th after work with Mum. I loved it! I was disappointed Francine Cain (of Rock of Ages) wasn't in it more. I feel better knowing she's the understudy for Truly...but she's too short and too good to be hidden in the back in the ensemble.
Off to see Jersey Boys this Thursday. So excited to see that again.
Making plans to go to Hawaii in June. Just got to book things.

Twisted Broadway - Reupload
This post was originally written around the 24th or 25th of July, but due to a technically error was never uploaded to the blog....so now I am reposting.
----------------------
Monday night after work Ness and I went to see a charity concert at Fed Square in the city called Twisted Broadway. It was all stage people singing songs that were gender swapped, girls singing guys songs and vice versa. It was general admission, but we were 3rd row -most people sat at the back. It was a lot of fun, and there was talent galore! Some of my Rock of Ages peeps were there, Amy Lehpalmer, Samantha Hagen, Brent Hill, and Rachel durham as well. Amy sang AND played violin, that was fantastic!!! Boys in tutus, hairspray, and many other moments had me laughing my ass off. Well worth the $55!!!! I love being able to see my fave theatre people perform, and a chance to find some new ones! ----------- Carlie

The Producers
Saturday night I went to see the production company's production of The Producers with Kay, Nick, Ness and her friend Evie.
It was fan-freaking-tastic! While they don't do much by way of sets, the costumes were great...and the acting was awesome! Wayne Scott Kermond from singing in the rain and anything goes was a great Max! Christie Whelan was also great as Ulla! But Brent Hill of Rock of Ages blew me away in a performance as Leo - the total opposite of Lonny from RoA! He even sounded just like Matthew Broderick!!!
Our row X seats were great, almost any seat has a good view in that place!

Almost Over
Getting one post in for December, before we head into 2012 next week.
I've been so busy the past month with work, Christmas shopping, Christmas movie/tv episode watching and then all the parties that come along with December.
We had a few morning teas at work for birthdays. Too much food as always, but they're lots of fun, its good to chat at work. Then we had our work Christmas party which was held after work at the Monash Civic Centre from 5pm. I went along with my boss and the girls. We had a few drinks and stood around while all the boring stuff went on, then the DJ and the karaoke started. Jess and I decided to do Karaoke together, we ended up singing Manic Monday -I thought we were pretty good. Then we did a lot of dancing. I wasn't drinking much cause I had to drive home, but I still had a blast. I was doing all the dances with actions such as the Macarena, Nutbush and Timewarp. There was a little more karaoke, till the party started wrapping up just after 10, and I left about 20 past, as did Jess and Deepa. I was pretty sore the next morning from all the dancing.
On the Saturday night I drove all the way over to the other side of the city, to visit Brett and Sarah's place for our group Christmas party. I wasn't going to, but I ended up taking citylink, cause it was easier. But I tell ya, its far far away out there in the west! I'm such an inner eastern and southern girl. But it was fun, everyone was there, and we did presents and Brett and Sarah put on good food, and there was good dessert. I must also add that Melbourne does look awfully pretty all lit up and spread out when you're coming back across the West Gate Bridge.
The Monday at work we had another morning tea for birthdays. Wednesday my department had our Christmas lunch at Pescare in Century City. It was fun and went for a few hours.
Friday we got coffee and cakes given to us...so that was a bonus too!
I spent Saturday shopping for food, and wrapping my presents. I watched the Carols by Candlelight. Which was lots of fun for me cause it had all my fave theatre people, like Amy Lehpalmer from Rock of Ages and Lucy Durack! Plus plenty of other good people.
Christmas Day, Dad and Scott came over for breakfast and pressies which was nice. Mum had to go pick up Grandma and take her to Neil's. Nicole and Scott went with Dad to Terry's. I was stuck taking all the food and drinks to Neil's. It was really hot, so I was packing stuff in cold bags with icepacks. I got there right on 1:30pm, and we ate pretty much straight away. I was stuff full of good food. Then I ate plenty of the choc ripple cake I made. Nikki and Scott turned up and we hung around till around 4pm. Then headed home. I took the food again, and Nikki.
Overall Christmas was okay, got a few nice pressies, including a new ipod to replace my old dying one. That night Mum and I watched a movie, and were glad we were not driving around in the crazy wet weather.
But it was really weird not having a full on day for the first time in my whole life. I miss the 2 big family things. I miss the cousins I never get to see anymore.
Boxing Day I wanted to go to the sales, but I only went to Camberwell. I bought a few dvds and cds. But nothing big. Mum bought herself a new laptop since their computer broke.
Tuesday I spent all day trying to put stuff on my ipod. I'm still only just getting through the soundtracks...which is only half my music collection.
Wednesday was back to work. So hard to get motivated this week. But I think we got a fair bit done.
SO glad to have another long weekend though, even if I don't get paid. But I think next week is going to tough...hah.
New Years Eve tomorrow, gonna have fun with my friends.
Bring on 2012. 2011 wasn't bad, it was hard to beat 2010 with my awesome USA trip, but I guess having a job for the 2nd half of the year might just top that....maybe a tie.
Lets hope for both in 2012!

Goodbye Rock of Ages!
Sunday was the last performance of Rock of Ages in Melbourne, and Ness and I went along, dressed in semi 80's attire. Some people were REALLY dressed up and looked awesome. Some people were not dressed up at all, and that was lame. The guy who won the dress up competition went as Waitress #1...but I thought there were much better costumes.
We had nobody sitting next to us in the first half, but then this old couple turned up at intermission, and I'm sure they were someone's grandparents/parents or something, cause they didn't seem to really belong.
The audience was crazy, with everyone singing, and sometimes speaking along (the latter did get annoying), but the bit where everyone went "B. O. O. H. O. (Audience: "O")....what they said." was classic!
It was so good to have Francine Cain back as Regina - we missed her not being in it last time. It was also great to have Justin back as Drew - having recovered from hurting his ankle. But I really missed Samantha Hagen as Waitress #1 -silly girl hurt her knee. I just love her belt during 'Heaven/More Than Words/Be With You'.
It was the best night. SOOO much fun, and the cast just brought it. Lincoln (Franz) was on fire!
I wished they had said a few words at the end, but its good they didn't, cause we rushed to the stage door, and managed to catch Lincoln making an early escape -and finally got him to sign our programs. We were right at the door, so we got the best spot to chat to people as they came out. Francine came out and we finally got her to sign our programs, and then she came back and took a pic with us. Samantha chatted to us about her knee, and we got a pic with her. Then Amy came out and took pics of everyone standing outside the stage door, before taking a pic with us. -That made the 3rd time we chatted to her and its nice to be able to have a few chances to chat, its less pressure. We hung around and got a pic with Justin too. Everyone was just lovely, and so friendly. I'm really gonna miss them now that show has gone to Brisbane.
We also felt much less pressure having already had pretty much everyone we wanted sign our programs at our last 2 stage door trips, with the exception of Francine and Lincoln who we got this time. We missed Rachel, but didn't care tooo much about that.
It made it much more relaxing. We were happy to chat with everyone and tell them we're gonna miss them, and we went for photos...even if I don't think I look the best in some of them, its still good to have.
I rocked out on the way home to the OBC cast recording, but I like our cast soooo much better.
The best part of the night might be the fact that I was able to record it on my iphone, so I have listened to that a few times since Sunday...and will be stealing the other show that Ness has when I see her.
I think overall 5 performances was a good number. They were semi spread out too, April, June, September, October, and finally November.
While I know there are people that saw it 30 times or more, but even with the cheap tickets, I don't have the money to go all the time....plus it loses something if you go TOO much.
We were also very lucky, we always had Amy as Sherrie...even though I would have LOVED to have seen Samantha play her. We had 1 performance without Francine (and we missed her greatly), and this one without Samantha. We had Jenson twice, and he rocks! But we had the mains for every other role, every single time...so can't complain.

So huge thanks to the cast and crew of ROA. I loved every single minute of my time with you.
I've adopted a whole new bunch of Aussie theatre people as my own...and I am very loyal! So I look forward to following them to new shows in the future hopefully. And hurry up Melbourne and bring me some theatre! Its a very cold harsh world with ROA gone, and nothing big coming for a while. I am gonna need my theatre fix.
.....oh and I'm STILL finding ROA glitter confetti around my house....I think it's multiplying!

Halloween Fun
So I had a good weekend, drove through scary rain on Friday night on my way to Ness'. It was crazy! Lucky it was over by the time I was coming home.
Monday night was Halloween and I went to Misty's American Diner in Prahran with Ness, Kay and Nick, Brett and Sarah. It was lots of fun. I dressed up as Regina from Rock of Ages. Ness was Reno from Anything Goes and Kay and Nick were Mulder and Scully.
It was a fun night, everyone there was dressed to impress! The food was pretty cool and they had awesome Oreo milkshakes in all kinds of flavors! After dinner we went to some bar in the city and hung around for a while.
Tuesday was Melbourne Cup day, so I got a day off work (course I didn't get paid for it like most other people. Doh!) Had a nice sleep in, watched some tv and then headed down to Southland to meet Ness for an afternoon of shopping. I bought some shoes, a casual dress and a pair of pretty pink earrings. -Overall it was quite a successful trip for me. -Making up for all the times I buy nothing. Came home, watched more tv, including the Halloween/Horse Racing ep of Pushing Daisies, amongst other things.
It was hard to get up again to go to work this morning, but the cold weather wasn't helping there either!

From Worse, To Not So Bad
So last week was bad. I mean it started out so good with the Rob Guest concert, but Tuesday was a bad day, and then well, Wednesday got worse. I ended up not working. After my ordeal with the car, was shaky and had a lot of trouble driving again at all. It's like I'm starting out on my own for the first time again. Plus I'm learning to drive a new car in a way, having only ever driven that one on short trips.
Thursday night Ness came up after work and we went to dinner at one of the cafes in Glen Waverley, then went to see Crazy Stupid Love at Century City. It was SOOO good!!!
I drove to her place after work on Friday - the first time I'd driven that car down there...plus its really busy traffic...I was kinda terrified the whole way. By the time I got there I was shaking a little...but that soon went away, and by the time I took the trip home, I was okay. -I think I've almost got my sea legs back now.
So anyways, back to Friday night....
We had fun. Vicky, Kay and Nick came and we got yummy chicken for dinner, and Vicky made a super yummy chocolate pie thing. Then Kay, Nick, Ness and I watched Iron Man, which was actually pretty entertaining.
Saturday I had pretty quiet day. I watched TV, cleaned out the car, did 3 loads of laundry. Went and got a movie from the Oovie box at Safeway and got Fish and Chips. Then I watched all my Friday tv -which I hadn't had time to watch yet, and some new shows. I borrowed Country Strong. It was really good and had great songs in it. I had been planning to watch a bunch of new hour length shows, but I was so sleepy by midnight that I didn't have the energy for the last show. I was in bed and half asleep before Mum and Nikki got home a bit after 1am!
Woke up earlier than expected on Sunday, but it wasn't THAT early, and there were things to do. It was Grandma's birthday and Mum was bringing her over for lunch. Mum made me bake a cake, she was cooking a roast. She went over and got Grandma and brought her back to our place. Neil, Marg, and Tracey came by for a bit, with their adorable puppy Dino. We had cake and then they left and we had our lunch. I showed Grandma my photos from last years trip, since she hadn't seen them yet. Then Mum took her back and I got organised to go out....I was all ready to leave, then couldn't find my keys anywhere...looked under cushions, in bags - everything. Had to wait till Mum got back to get the spare off her, and then I was on my way to Rock!!!!
Our seats were awesome...but when Regina came out and it wasn't Francine, we were crushed! Not that I don't LOVE all the others, but she's kinda my fave...and one I really wanted to meet at the stage door. The replacement girl was okay, but just not Francine. I've become very attached to my people. I thought overall the show was lacking something...I think they were just all worn out. But it was still a blast!!! We went to the stage door afterwards and got chat to a lot more of them this time, and got almost all the mains to sign our programs. We were going to get a hot drink afterwards...but nothing was open, so we went home. I was glad my ipod was working and let me rock out to the soundtrack on my way home.
I can't wait till the last show on November 6th..it's gonna be crazy! And also sad, I don't want it to go...I love it, and the cast too much! Oh well....I'll live I suppose....and there's always Sydney I guess. hah!

Rob Guest Endowment Concert 2011
Last night the newly returned Ness and I went to see this years Rob Guest Endowment concert at Her Majesty's Theatre in the city. I did a quick after work dinner/change/drive into the city and met Ness before the show.
Funnily enough since I was hanging out with her on Sunday, I spent more time with her, than I did at home in last 2 days.
The new kids were awesome and and some of our theatre faves were there to give AWESOME performances. I'd really missed Lucy Durack!!!!!
I had 3 faves to win, but then the other girl Ashlea Pyke knocked Don't Rain on My Parade out of the park! I really liked the guy who won - Blake Bowden. He did two great songs. Overall there were SO many good songs. Oh and we had the best seats! 3rd row on the aisle just to the right - right in front of the podium. So we got to be right in front of ALL the action! They gave us goodie bags with water and malteasers too!
The live action was a lot of fun. I would have LOVED to have Lucy's Glinda wand from Wicked....but unfortunately I didn't have a spare $3000. Everyone got so excited when it got over 2 grand.... and these 2 just kept pushing it higher! It was a long night - didn't get home till 11:30pm. But it was totally worth it. Got to see some great performances by my theatre faves - Lucy Durack, Francine Cain, Esther Hannaford, Rob Mills, and the cast of Rock of Ages...sans a few of the guys. But I was glad Samantha Hagen got to do some belting, as did Lincoln Hall!
Its totally a tradition, I'll keep going every year now!

Funnily enough since I was hanging out with her on Sunday, I spent more time with her, than I did at home in last 2 days.

Social Butterfly!
So I've been pretty busy on my weekends lately, but have had at least 1 quiet night which has been good. Last weekend Ness and I did our thing Friday night and then I met her at Southland on Saturday to see The Help - which was AWESOME by the way...great cast, great writing! -but really long...not in a dragging way though! We also bought Brett's birthday pressie! A collection of fun silly stuff!
Last week I was pretty busy after work hours too. I went out to dinner with Jacinta after work on Wednesday in Glen Waverley. Picked her up at her place, and then went to Airstream at Century City. The food was good, the service was so so. Went back to her place after for some tv and ice-cream cake. I also got some advice on media players from her bro, since we had just been talking about them.
Friday night I had the place to myself. It was awesome! I had a normal dinner, and then choc ripple cake which I'd made the night before for dessert! I finished off Parenthood season 1, organised my hard drive and did some washing seeing as I would be busy all weekend.
Saturday Mum and Nicole were up and out before I was out of bed! I was at Ness' by 1pm too! We finished off Bones - I am now up to date, and was not quite prepared for that ending! SHOCKING...and also poor Mr Nigel Murray!
Kay and Nick came later and we went out for Chinese -it was yummy! Ness and I shared our meals so we had variety. Then we decided to go to Stacks for dessert, Ness and I shared choc fudge crepes, a lighter option. Best of all we didn't feel sick by the end of night from too much food :P
Ness and I watched the pilot for The New Girl - Zooey Deschanel's show before bed. It doesn't look great, but I won't write it off just yet.
Sunday morning we walked the pooches and then got ready for the theatre! We picked the Sunday matinee because back when we bought the tickets we thought it was the final show in Melb....we were wrong. We picked up Brett on the way and gave him his pressie. We were listening to Wicked on the way in honor of the last performance in Australia that was happening last night in Perth. Before the show we got drinks and snacks at the little cafe next door to the Comedy Theatre. Our seats were good, but unfortunately we had the understudy for Drew...he wasn't very good...even though I didn't really notice until intermission that it wasn't Justin....but I did feel something was off. I think I was thrown off by the fact that I wasn't sure if Francine Cain was playing Regina or not...she was. I like that the cast have taken a few creative liberties by this point...it makes it a little more fun. I like noticing things that were different. -Just booked more tickets for October, since they are offering cheap ones. We also have tickets for the official final performance in Melb...its gonna be AWESOME and CRAZY!
Since it was a matinee, we skipped the stage door and headed home. I got my stuff together and was home around 7:30pm. I watched a rather crappy ep of SNL and got organised for work.
Today work just dragged, I was unfocused and tired. I was better after some lunch though.
Ness is off on her trip tomorrow, so its going to be an interesting 3 weeks without speaking to her...and I might actually be able to get through my own dvds on the weekends. -Also my aim is to have finished Tina Fey's book by the time she gets back!

Week 3
Well....I really should stop calling every post 'Week....' but for now its all I've got!
The job is going good, I'm really getting into the swing of things now. The driving is okay, usually....but I gotta laugh every morning/arvo when I pass multiple trams with the Rock of Ages ads on them....while blasting the soundtrack and belting out along with.... I feel I have over listened to it now though, and took it out of my car. The last 2 days I have been listening to 9 to 5...then 2nd good 'wake up' cd.
In other news - I had a great but busy weekend. I felt like baking on Saturday, so I did...I make choc chip cookies - while playing the Grey's Anatomy musical soundtrack. Apparently my life needs a soundtrack for every action!
I then took the cookies down with me to Ness', where Kay and Nick already were visiting. I'm liking the regular catch ups. Its fun to do things as a group! We went down to The Good Guys to buy my new cd player -after fighting with the old one for so long. Its very pretty, and plays my ipod too! Although mine is really old, so I can't use all the features with my ipod, but I need a new one soon anyways!
We came back ate the cookies and watched the Buffy Musical of all things. I gotta admit I still kinda love it...and it made me want to go back and watch a few select 'golden' eps. Makes me wonder if I should ever get around to completing my dvd collection. I only have seasons 1 and 2...but I have ALL of Angel though.
Kay and Nick left after dinner and Ness and I finished off the 5th season of Bones, and then watched Date Night. Still hilarious after multiple viewings!
Sunday I was going to sleep in, but woke up early-ish. But that was okay cause it gave me time to play with my cd player. I went over to Jacinta's in the afternoon and we went and saw Bad Teacher. It was pretty funny, Cameron Diaz was kinda annoying, but the rest of the characters were good. Jason Segel was kinda adorable. There were too many people I knew in it though! We hung out for a while after and went out to get some dinner, before I came home to get my stuff together for work...and then the weekend was over!
Auntie Marg is starting to sell Tupperware now...so she had a launch party Tuesday night. Mum and I bought a few things, and mum got roped into having a party. But its the new catalog will be out by then, so I can buy lots of new stuff! YAY!!!!
This week at work has been good, the other young girl was back from her holidays, so we chat a bit. I am feeling more comfortable with the phones now, and getting used to the place.
Tomorrow we are having another birthday morning tea, for the boss. These people have too many birthdays! haha. I had time to make something this time. We'll see how they go over. Its always hard to think of what people might like.
This weekend I'm pretty busy again. Going out both Fri and Sat nights...and spending all day sat and sun cleaning out my Grandparent's house.I'm going to be exhausted...before the week even starts! Crazy. lol. I might be in bed at 6pm on Sunday.
Oh well....at least I am making and spending money...that makes me happy!

Big Weekend Fun.
So I’ve been extra busy and barely at home all weekend. It was the Queen’s birthday long weekend, but it was also Ness’ birthday on Sunday. I went down Friday and we did our thing, got some Chinese food for dinner, and watched some more Bones.
Saturday we slept in, watched some silly tv (abc...enough said), walked the pooches, and then got ourselves glammed up for the Theatre. We headed into the city early, to look at Myer and a few other shops. There wasn’t really a lot to look at though – which was good for me, seeing as I am not in a position to buy anything. Lol. But it was fun to mock all the crazy clothes and the people wearing them!!
We met up with Ness’ friends and headed to the Elephant and the Wheelbarrow. Kay and Nick turned up not much later. We had a nice pub dinner, I got my staple fish and chips – what can I say, I know what I like...even if that makes me lame and unoriginal :P After dinner we headed to our little café on Bourke for coffee and cakes etc.
It was then time to go to the Comedy Theatre to see Rock of Ages. We had great seats, 3 in row D and 3 in row E. Which in some ways was much better than sitting in a long row - this way we could all talk instead of having people stuck on the ends. I had a great view too, Ness was in front of me, so no giant people to look around!
We did however have annoying people sitting behind me. They were singing along, and talking while stuff was going on...where’s the respect?! So RUDE!
After the show, we headed to the stage door and got a few of the actors to sign our programs. Kay was super excited to meet one of them that she knows from other stuff...see its not just me :P hehe.
I headed back to Ness’, hid her pressie, got all my stuff and headed home.
I ended up sleeping in a lot Sunday, and didn’t get out of bed till noon or something. I was a bit of a zombie all day, watched some tv, did some laundry, and just chillaxed.

Yesterday was a public holiday, so everybody was home, but I was up first at 9am, so I could be organized for the Tonys which started at 10. I misjudged the time, so the whole thing didn’t fit on the one disc, not in great quality, so I’ll have to put the last half hour on another disc.
I then capped off the weekend with another trip down to Ness’ for Tony night – which may become an annual tradition!

Rock of Ages
It was so nice to be back at the theatre. My 2nd time this year. Saturday night I got all gussied up and drove into the city to see Rock of Ages at the Comedy Theatre. I was on time, until I started looking for parking...that's always my downfall. I must remember to leave earlier next time. I ended up parking in Lonsdale street just down from the theatre in a parking garage that only charged 7 bucks for the night. -A pretty good deal if you ask me!
I met Ness at the usual restaurant in Burke st and ordered the first thing that popped into my head - pizza. Which I don't think I've actually ever ordered from that place before, so its ok. -not that I NEED to justify my food choices to anyone.
We headed down to the theatre around 7:30pm, bought our programs for a respectable $20, and hung around in the lobby till it was time to go in. -I haven't been to the Comedy Theatre since I saw Avenue Q with Brett and Nick years ago, but the lobby of the theatre reminded me of the Broadway Theater in New York where Promises, Promises was.
We had good seat on the aisle, with no great visual blocks or anything. It was an interested crowd of people in the audience. We were definitely on the very lowest end of the age scale...except for maybe a few teens. Mostly it was oldies..but that's to be expected with the kind of music.
Once the show got going, I really started enjoying it. I didn't really know what to expect. It was definitely funnier than I expected, and the legendary music was worked in really well. -It was hard to not sing along.
They gave us fake LED lighters to wave at the door...but no one really used them till near the end.
My fave characters were Regina, Franz and the narrator guy..whose name I can't remember right now...I want to say Lonny...The main two were really good too!
There was one bad thing about the show - that they served drinks during the show and took orders...people would walk up and down the aisles taking orders while the performers were on stage...it was somewhat distracting.
By the time the show was over, my ears were ringing like a real rock concert! There was no where to go afterwards, so we dawdled around for a bit before heading off to our cars. The 7 buck carpark worked out good -although it was a little dark up there when I was leaving, but I was parked right next to the elevators so I felt safe. I was home pretty quick too - its always an easy trip, only 20 minutes give or take.
I was singing the songs and was way too hyper to sleep, but after starting to watch some tv, I became exhausted very quickly, and was out like a light when I went to bed. -I did have weird dreams though....long episodic ones...
Anyways all in all it was a good night, a lot of fun and I might see it again before it leaves Melbourne if I can find the money.

Quiet Times
Well so much for the dancing thing...I haven't done that in weeks! I am still playing Wii almost every day though. The cold weather has come in and I am feeling less energetic. I'm thinking about getting back into the walking...maybe.
Nikki's birthday was last week, the 9th. I was at Ness', stayed over Friday night and we went shopping on Saturday. I bought a pair of slippers, and new black boots. We then proceeded to watch an additional 6 episodes of Bones, after 6 the night before. -She has me hooked...and its trouble, cause I'm gonna have to keep myself away from spoilers...and new eps! haha.
So after a great weekend, last week sucked! We basically had no internet for a week cause we used it all up with a whole week to go. After a couple of days of not being able to do anything or download anything, I was in hell! At least I could access twitter...otherwise I would have been completely miserable! I can't believe with all this my parents still haven't done anything about getting a higher internet limit! I've offered to pay towards it and still nothing! By Thursday I was ready to bang my head against a brick wall. I imagine it is only gonna get worse each month, and so will probably use our quota by halfway through this month.
To make matters even worse last week, my external hard drive decided to act up and not work, so I couldn't even spend my time watching stuff stored on it, like old SNL or anything! I've spent the past few days trying to get the important stuff off it in case it gets lost when I try fixing it.
This weekend Ness and I are going to see Rock of Ages. I don't know a whole lot about it, other than its all 80's rock ballads - which should be good! Today Mum and I went to Chadstone in order to find something to wear. It was pretty quiet for school holidays -which was awesome! We tried Myer, but they had nothing. I bought some cheap makeup from Priceline, and we looked around a few more shops, before finally finding a few options at Just Jeans. I ended up getting a dress which Mum suggested -which is why I don't go shopping alone...I tend to not like stuff on my own. We stopped in to visit my Grandma after shopping, because Mum had to deliver a check there anyways. So we had a little chat, then stopped at Ashburton on the way home to get a few groceries. We got a few things cheap at Not Quite Right. Bought a bunch of things which only cost 18bucks in the end -which is awesome. But I dropped the thing of pasta sauce and it went all over the floor...it was icky, and it went all over my mum's shoe...I felt bad for the poor guy that had to clean it up.
Still nothing on the job front. The net was too slow to look last week. I did have an interview a couple of weeks ago, the job sounded sorta ok, but it was a very small office and was all the way in Moorabbin, which would get annoying to drive to all the time. Ideally I'd really like to work in the city. But we'll see what turns up.
