Well tomorrow is my sister's 15th Birthday. Wow that makes me feel old! Nikki is old enough to work now. Wonder how long it will be till she has a job....at this rate she could still beat me!
So I haven't been up to much lately. Just looking for work, and researching stuff for my trip to the US.
Speaking of which, we booked the international flights this week. Super exciting! Now just to organise the rest of the stuff.
I worked over Easter. Thursday they had me working from 10:30am, till 7:30pm. It nearly killed me, and they forgot my lunch break. But it was okay in the end.
I spent most of Friday recovering, but went to see Grandma and Grandpa. Showed them my degree.
Oh year, I forgot I had my uni graduation on a few weeks ago. It was fun, Liz, Jacinta and I all graduated at the same time. Then Liz, Maryann, John and James came out to dinner with me and Mum. Maree also came which was really nice. I was getting a bit sick of explaining why my dad wasn't there, he was at the football.
I mean I don't care that he wasn't there....but I wish he would have wanted to be.
Then I worked again on the Saturday but only for 5 hours this time. I was pretty dead by the end of it. But movie night at Ness' woke me up good.
Wish me luck that things will pick up soon!

Fated?
Today when I was searching my room for a document, I stumbled across an old folder of writing notes from those years when I was into writing (both regular stuff and fanfiction).
Now I'm reading through it and finding amusement out of the things that are related to The West Wing...
for example, I have a bunch of notes on a piece of paper from 2007 (at least a year before I ever even saw an episode of The West Wing), with the phrase, 'Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc' written on it. Now I'm assuming this is just a phrase that I liked from my critical thinking class in my first year of uni. But its the only one on the page that isn't related to a movie, tv show or song....and since it is an episode title from TWW...its funny.
On another page is a scene from one of the odd fanfics I wrote for Crossing Jordan, with a hotel/bar called The Ainsley.....dunno wear I pulled Ainsley from....but it makes me laugh.
....I guess I could play 6 degrees and connect pretty much anything to something if I wanted to, but I just thought it was interesting.
Also....there is a page with lists of all the cities and states I want to visit across the world, and in the US....DC is not on the list, but Kentucky, Ohio, and Nebraska are....why? That I do not know.
I guess once upon a time I had reasons to want to go to those places, but obviously I have changed my opinions in the last few years.
In other news, in the past couple of weeks I've seen a few movies. I saw Crazy Heart, and LOVED it. The music is really good, and maybe if I can ever find it, I will get the soundtrack. I also saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D VMAX, so it was a costly night, but worth it. I really enjoyed it. -That was the night of the big Melbourne storms, and seeing as I was down in Karingal, I missed it. But thats a good thing, cause there was no damage or poweroutages!
Last week I borrowed The Young Victoria - really really good; The Time Traveller's Wife - not so great; and Up. Up I loved it but didn't LOVE it in the same way I love the others, I don't think I could watch it as often as I watch Finding Nemo, Toy Storys and Monsters Inc.
Last night I saw Men Who Stare at Goats. It was really good, funny, and not quite what I expected. It was weird and entertaining. Just how I like things.

March Update
Last week was perhaps my least favorite week of the whole year. Monday was my Grandpa's birthday, Wednesday was my Mum's, and Thursday was my brothers. My whole life I have been very jealous of my family in March, cause all my cousins and stuff tend to have birthdays then....and not me. So I get grumpy...but the older I get, the more I am getting past it....as it should be!
Monday we went over to my Grandparent's and everyone brought food, just Mum and I went from out family, and only Sarah, Tracy and Elizabeth and James turned up in terms of cousins. It was fun though, everyone was talking about the major storms Melbourne saw over the weekend. Some had house and car damage...but we didn't have much at my place. I missed the whole thing, as I was down at Ness'...which was lucky for the car!
Tuesday I went shopping with Jacinta for some new interview/work clothes. We had lunch and then hung out her place for a bit. We seem to have developed a routine which is good.
Wednesday I had my interview in the morning, Mum dropped me off, and I met up with her after. The interview went ok, but I don't think anything is gonna come out of it. I don't think its really my ideal place to work, as it seems I would be alone most of the time...which doesn't sound much fun.
After the interview, we did some shopping, and then when we finally got home I got to give Mum her present...she was really happy to get a present and a card...which makes me sad that the rest of the family is super slack. I got her Baby Boom on dvd...one of her all time fave movies. We ended up watching that afternoon.
Mum, Scott, Nikki and I went out to Michelangelos in Burwood for dinner. It was really nice food, and a really quiet restaurant which was nice.
Thursday I worked, which was helpful, moneywise...then we had a special dinner of chinese and cake for Scott's bday.
The fact that there is still nothing on the job front...is starting to get both depressing and annoying. I spent the last few days searching and applying...but each time I care less and less about the job, and more about finding something. Which is bad...but here's hoping I find something soon...cause I'm gonna go crazy with nothing to do but watch tv...
Oh well....wish me luck!

Technical Dificulties!
So....this is my first post for March 2010.....and this evening I have gone a little internet crazy, because both the internet and the foxtel were down since around 3pm yesterday...which means I didn't go online since yesterday morning, cause I was having movie day with Jacinta.
So yesterday turned out to be a big movie day for me. Jacinta and I borrowed Whip It- which was really good, and Inglorious Bastards - which was good and I glad I saw it...but it was very very slow for the most part...and over 2 hours long.
Then Mum and I were contemplating going to see The Blind Side, cause it was cheap movie day, and then since the net and the foxtel were both not working...which means there was no tv either (cause we don't have a working aerial), we thought we really ought to. I'm glad we did, cause I really enjoyed it (I would have definately seen it, just maybe not this week). Sandra Bullock was really good in it...and it was also a greally moving story.
Then today since there was nothing else to watch (including Ellen with Lauren -which I was VERY mad about!), I found myself having a Megan Mullally day; this consisted of at least 4 episodes of Will and Grace and FAME. Fame wasn't THAT fantastic, but good enough...and having Megan sing in it was awesome...pity there was no Bebe singing.
I kept wanting to put on another tv show or movie....but nothing inspired me. Although I think in the next few days I might need to watch a RENT, or something.
FINALLY our net came back late this arvo, which meant I had TONS of tweets to catch up on. -At least they were good ones! Plus tons of other net stuff to catch up on.
ALSO, in all the net drama....I've had a busy day jobwise. Yesterday I got a call from one of the companies I applied for, and they left a message, I got back to them today. The guy was very happy to chat, and seemed keen...but it turns out the job was more design targeted than I'm really interested in...and while I think he wanted to be able to consider me for the job, he knew I wasn't really up to it. So I guess that is actually a good thing, no point going after jobs that I can't do. So anyways..I was a little bummed about that, but then just as the day was wrapping up and I was listening to music, my phone rings just before 5pm. One of the admin jobs I applied for, wanted me for an interview next week. This is my first interview call in...I guess the other 2 were technically phone interviews...I'm not setting my hopes high, but its a good start nonetheless.
Wish me luck!

Inside My Head
So yesterday I pulled out my old diary that I started at the end of grade 6, and had through till the early 2000's. I couldn't help reading through it.
Some of what I wrote was silly not understanding the bounds of reality. The early stuff is kinda sad because I was so close to my cousins Jade and Caitlin for a while there, and now I never see them, and have nothing in common with them anymore.
Some stuff is funny, how it changes from 1 post to another, like how in the first post I didn't want to start high school....and then in the next post I couldn't wait. Or I'd be best friends with someone, and then next post I'd be hating them. Oh how teen issues are complicated!
Pretty much most of pop culture that I talk about in this diary is Charmed, which was my big no.1 tv show for a few years. However, there are also mentions of Spice Girls a lot.
And in 1998 Alicia Silverstone was my fave Actress, and my fave movie was Spiceworld.....WOW. I mean weird! But then again I was only 12.
TV Hits was my fave magazine, and then I saw Titanic...and I became obsessed with Leo Dicaprio! Even scarier! Oh the scary 90's teenybopper music bands they had.....in 1999 butterfly clips came in, and went out...
These are a few random notes that I pulled out from it:
There is one part in March of 2000, where I really hated my name, and thought the following were good names....Prue, Phoebe, Libby, Alyssa, Shannen, Anastasia, Buffy or Sabrina.....WHAT?! I was seriously disturbed!
Also in March 2000, I listed my fave tv shows, highlighting my faves: Friends, Ally McBeal, The Practice, Home and Away, Charmed, Neighbours, Above The Law, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Blue Heelers, Providence, Dawson's Creek, Just Shoot Me, Family Law, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Popstars, and Dharma and Greg. Hmmm.
-I'm a little embarrassed by some of those...I'll let you decide which :P
I have learned I was was always in love with Joshua Jackson :P, however I liked some guys back then that I can't explain reasons for!
WOW I used to think that my cousins living in Eltham was far!!!! Oh funny.....however when you don't have access to a car, Eltham IS really really far...(lol it rhymes)
awwww I made comment about preparing to watch the ep of Ally McBeal where Billy dies.....sad :(
But why is there a whole paragraph about what is GOING to happen on my tv shows? weird.
For some weird reason in the year 2000 I was keen on dying my hair brown....
Also in 2000 I created my very first website. A site dedicated to Charmed (ofcourse!)
I love that ever since 2000 I haved wanted to be Alice in Wonderland for a dressup party...but still never have been.
Then in 2001 we got The Sims, and I am still playing all these years later...what can I say, I love building and decorating houses, and the pretend families aren't that bad either :P
Ok Yes....totally random, and not making a lot of sense, but its funny how things have changed, and how some things haven't.

A Weekend in The Country
Ok...so Frankston isn't exactly the country...but you pass a few paddocks and stuff to get there!
So this past week I was pretty busy, or at least occupied. Monday I went with Mum down to see my uncle Neil and aunt Marg's new place. It is pretty fancy, without being TOO modern or annoying. But they do tend to buy in those designed groups of houses so they all match and stuff.
Tuesday was $1.95 movie rental day at VideoEzy, so Mum and I went and got The Ugly Truth and My Sister's Keeper. We watched The Ugly Truth that arvo, it was a shocker, but not as bad as it could have been....but not good...so predictable with little else to offer to make up for it.
Tuesday night Jacinta and I went out to Sofia's for dinner, with an early stop at JB. I finally bought season 6 of Will and Grace. After our kinda early dinner (for eating out) we walked down to Borders and explored for a while. Jacinta bought stuff...I didn't. (As usual)
We hung out at my place for a while afterwards, watching Superbowl ads on youtube....however nothing was that interesting really. I always thought those ads were supposed to be cool and interesting...I guess not. lol
Wednesday I finally got around to watching My Sister's Keeper. I haven't read the book, but I had really wanted to see it anyways. I thought it was really good, and found it really interesting, in a almost too close to home kind of way. Lets just say it brought up a lot of old memories from when I was going through the chemo and stuff.
-I know the ending in the book is different, and since I haven't read it, am not sure if it makes sense when you read it, but the movie ending seems to make more sense.
Thursday was another shift at Safeway. The storms made for a bit of excitement at the end of the shift. I had a great view of all the lightening and rain. Finally a bit of a break from the heat!
Yesterday I watched some of the Winter Olympic opening ceremony...but I don't think I care that much about them...I mean I'll probably watch bits and pieces of the hockey and iceskating, but won't really go out of my way to watch it.
Then in the evening I did usual movie night with Ness. We somehow managed to watch a bunch of stuff that had none of the same people in it...which is rare with us. We watched some more Ally McBeal, and Walk The Line. We went out to get soft drink, and stopped at the ATM, and I thought I got out $20...however today when I opened my purse I only had a 10 in there....so either I never picked up the money, or I lost it somewhere...possibly the movies? I don't know. But anyways...I'm going to be very attentive when I go to ATMs from now on!
Today we went and saw Valentines Day...on Valentines Day. It was pretty packed in the cinema, but we were smart and went down early and got our tickets...because we came back after getting milkshakes and the line was all the way out the door! The movie was really good...I mean there were so many people in it that I would have liked it anyways. But there were bits that were really cute! Most importantly they didn't skimp on the Jennifer. She was in it plenty!
So there it is, my past week....not very exciting...unless you're me I guess.

Wow I'm Bad
No posts in weeks! I guess I've been distracted with other things, cause God knows I haven't been busy!
Lets see....post-wedding, I was pretty much recovering from sunburn. It hurt for a little while, but not too badly. Then it became itchy and I was peeling a little. -in case you were wondering :p
I've been working the last few Thursdays at Safeway...which is weirding me out. But at least its money going back onto my credit card, and allowing me to stop dipping into the last of my savings. Now that school holidays are over, the store has gotten busy again, but it's not too bad.
Other than the once a week work, I did a few social activities. Sunday Ness and I went to see Nine, which was pretty good, but not a catchy traditional musical. But it was nice to see a lot of people who don't normally sing, sing. The night before we did movie night with Nick and Kay, which is always fun...but more fun when we don't have pizza issues. I guess we order so much pizza from that place, we were due for a mix-up!
Then, it was a double dose of Jacinta last week. Tuesday we went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2...it was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I actually enjoyed it....I mean there were so many people I like in it. Then we did burgers at the new place next to the ticket box. - not bad, although a little big for me to handle...I like the chips with their different seasonings. After that since we were melting in the heat, we headed back to her place, and watched tv and talked about all those shows and books we used to read as kids. Then talked travel with her mum and bro....got some nice tips for my trip.
Wednesday we did a trip down to DFO in Cheltenham. Jacinta found some stuff....but I left with nothing again. She took a good chunk of my cd collection and we made plans for next week.
No more movies this week, but I do have a free one now...so I'm sure there will be more to see soon!
Other than the social stuff, mostly I've been watching dvds, playing Sims 2 and slowly getting through some house clean up and organisation....while also looking for jobs. Lets hope something comes up soon!
