Jibber Jabber

-Just a short little post, cause I felt like posting right now.
lol.

So today I watched the crossover eps of Crossing Jordan and Las Vegas. I could have died. And I just KNOW Elsa will die when she sees them next year. (or earlier if she decides to get them off me).

Computers are both the greatest thing and the most evil thing in the world. I am so happy to have been able to download episodes and stuff early. But they can drive you crazy sometimes, when they don't co-operate.

I also am still feeling really tired. Hopefully it will go away soon. I plan to sleep in lateish saturday and sunday.

Also last night my foot was living in my mouth...although I don't really remember what I was saying. Was just one of those days I guess. hehe.

Terrific Tuesday

Tuesday is always one of the best days of my week. Mostly cause we get to go to Em's house and I get to play with all my friends. hehe. Its called 'Angelfests', but we actually very rarely watch any Angel anymore. We usually watch Buffy.
Tonoight appart from the usual, we had many a special guest. Some people I had met before, some I had not. All were cool..though some in a weird way.
Kaiser rocks. We like him a lot. No particular reason. He's just cool. hehe.
Harm is adorable, and while a regular, she's always a little ball of sunshine. *snuggles*
Then the was this guy Ben, who I have heard of, and half remember from BCA...but yeah I didn't know him and while cool...he's a little strange. Which I like and can definately handle. -Plus its nice to have someone else to do the crazy stupid(in a good way) conversations. lol.
Going to Em's is a hoot. We sit around, eat dinner, watch eps, chat etc.
Tonight I got me some pressies. Which was nice. Pressies are always good. In particular I did love the 'Jewely stick' hehe. I could try and explain it too you...but you'd probably get confused and weirded out...so it's probably safer if I don't :P
We got Chinese food for dinner and we watched an ep of Buffy from season 7. We were only half paying attention as usual. After that we all hang around the kitchen and were chatting, they sang happy birthday to me, and after I got grilled by a few people about my birthday, most of them went and watched Firefly. While a few of us hung around the kitchen and did more chatting. It was odd for me to not be the one chatting so much. I love our gang. hehe.

Hmm. Now what else have I done today? I was mostly watching tv I think. Very exciting stuff!
Mum and I went supermarket shopping, and left the first supermarket after mum got into a squabble in the car park and then was driving like a crazy person.

After I got home from Em's I watched another ep of CJ and then have pretty much been sitting here. Oh and I wrote another scene(or a set of connecting scenes) for my script. Its getting closer to being done. yay!

Happy Birthday to Me

Yep its my 20th Birthday. And its almost over. Infact I may well be by the time I finish writing up this post. hehe POST. -for some reason that word has been causing me some amusement lately. *shrugs*

So what did I do on my very important aniversary of my birth? Pretty much a big zippo. Hehe...well sorta. I got up, woke up my sister and mother who had slept in late. I then did morning stuff and then sat down to watch Providence again. And then flicked channels, before putting on the washing and doing usual net stuff.
Once I was done with that and since mum was at canteen and Scott was still asleep, I sat here at my computer and watched the season 3 premire of Las Vegas, which I had downloaded. It was good and exciting. The first time I had downloaded a show instead of waiting for the new season to come back to normal tv. I enjoyed it very much.
After that I put out the washed washing and then sat down to watch the season 5 premire of Crossing Jordan. I LOVED it and I HATED it! It was really really well done on all counts. I will not say anymore in the case that someone who does not want to know something reads this. I'm being good about not spoiling anyone.
I then watched ep 2 of LV and it was also very good, though maybe not as good as ep 1. I can't wait till I get a chance to watch the crossover eps. Hopefully I will get my chance Wednesday morning. *crosses fingers*

Mum came home in the middle of CJ and then left to go to her market research session (after I had found her keys for her). Mum came home about 2ish and I was watching tv.
The battery was dead on Dad's car and he wanted her to fix it today. He's such an ass sometimes. So Mum eventually called the RACV and they came and replaced the battery and it works now I think. After that Mum and Nikki went to buy me a cake.
Grandma dropped in late in the afternoon and gave me a card and some money for my birthday. After Grandma left, we went to dinner at Sophia's in Camberwell. Its an Italian restaurant. Very yummy pizzas. Unfortunately Kirsten from high school and her family came in a little after us and Mum kept pressuring me to go say hi. I said I would as we were leaving, since I hadn't talked to Kirsten in ages and didn't really want to. We were not really that friendly in the last year of high school, let alone after. So anyways...after dinner as we were leaving, we said hi and had a mini chat. I was glad to finally get away. You shouldn't have to speak to people you do not want to on your birthday imo.

When we got home, I watched tv and waited until Mum said we could have cake. At just before 8:30pm the cake came out and my little sister played Happy Birthday on her violin. I love her violin. I always wanted to play. The cake was very yummy. Mum and lil sis did good choosing it!

I have been really tired lately and I don't know why, so I had a coffee and sat down and watched an ep of CJ from my tapes and flicked channels on foxtel. That was my day.
Oh yes. I got many birthday wishes from my good friends, they are lovely people. And I got a card from my parents. My present is still in the works I think. I believe I am getting an Ipod, but my parents haven't had the money on their credit cards yet. So I am still waiting. But I'm kinda not in a really birthday-ey mood. I don't like this growing up thing. Someone make it stop. Wow. It looks like I really am becoming a grown up. Damm.
Oh and look its still my birthday. I was wrong. hehe

Later

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - Part 2

Okay and now for part 2. hehe.

I'm still kinda tired, but I did get a really decent sleep last night which I really needed. I didn't get up until just after 12.

So yeah lets finish my exciting tale of my busy few days shall we....and in the case that you answered no to the last comment....go away. :P

anyhooo.
Lets pick up where friday left off....
I got up and sat and watched Providence on the shiny new foxtel. - very exciting stuff. hehe. I then wasted a bit of time flicking - so not really a waste of time, but it was when I had planned to leave kinda early. I eventually got going and printed out my report and packed up all my stuff for the day and toddled off to train station, did the usual change train, chain train, walk thing. And dropped my (really heavy) forensic books back at the library and popped in the report and then (after a little waiting at the station) caught my train into the city. I waited around and bought cookies. Soon Faithie showed up and then Elsa too. We did shopping for Ella (its her birthday this week too) and then had lunch at Red Rooster. It was good...untill we were leaving and I banged my arm into a handle on the stairs, that hurt. OWW! We went and looked at the new shiny Myer Christmas Windows and almost freaked out about some of the stuff they had there...like babies with heads falling off....and creepy people, or should I say CREEPY Creepy Creepy. hehe.
We then did a little more shopping and were looking at all these cool books in the bookstore(like where else would we be really?! :P) and then it was time for me get going and I signed the card and then the girls walked me to the station. I waited and waited and finally (after having to change platforms, because something was all messed up at Flinders st) I got on my train home. I was really hot and my feet were quite quite sore. I walked home and plonked myself down on the couch downstairs and turned on the AC.

Then I started getting ready to go out. I had a cool shower and ate and organised all the stuff, such as snacks and the tape for Survivor (and organising my sister to tape it on said tape too). Marg picked me up at 5:30 and we drove over to Nunawading where we were to be working. We were a little early, but it worked out good as we beat the crowd to sign in and were able to get a couch to sit on. There were 2 groups and we waited around for ages for something to happen, the other group went into this room with nice tables and chairs etc. We thought we had the dud one. But finally our group was called in and we were in the really nice room, the council room I think, and we sat around till about 8 before we finally got started with the process. There was envelopes to separate and ballot papers to look at etc. We didn't finish till 11:15 and Marg drove me home as Mum had finished early and she said she would. -Marg kept trying get me to talk to all the young guys around. *sighs*. lol. We stopped at Maccas in Burwood(y) on the way home as we were STARVING. I got home about 12 and wasn't really tired so I just sat around in bed for a while. I fell asleep a little after 1am I think.

I got up at 6:30 and got all ready again. Dad drove me and Scott over, and Mum was working somewhere else. We were in different groups and I was in the same place as Friday night. We got going pretty much straight away and my group was finished at 11:30. Grrr. Scott's group still had ages to go, and Dad refused to come and get me. grrrr again. So I walked over to Harvey Norman and looked around and then I went to Bunnings as I still had heaps of time.
I went back to the place and sat for about 10 minutes until Scott was finally done. Dad was there then and we finally got to go home.

I spent the arvo on the comp and watching tv. I then got into a big fight with Scott cause he wouldn't let me watch tv, which with me being really tired and also excited made for trouble. I eventually got the room back and I continued my big planned night of fun tv watching. I got to see Miguel's ep (Garret from Crossing Jordan for those who care) of Will and Grace and then I sat on the comp and watched the last 2 eps of Veronica Mars. There was a good amount of 'OOOOOOing' and 'eeeeeeeeing'. Finales I like that.

Today I went to Chadstone with mum. We browsed and we shopped. She bought me a t-shirt at myer and we bought a few other things too. We went for drinks at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. My drink was good. I got one of those ice-blends, Mum got grumpy cause a guy was in her way and made her spill some of her coffee.

I was driving and we stopped in at Safeway on the way home and then I read the first chapter of 'Garden of the Purple Dragon' which is the sequel to 'Dragonkeeper' by Carole Wilkinson, Maree lent me Dragonkeeper earlier in the year and she bought me the sequal (which I asked for) for my b'day.
Oh yes. That's right. It's my birthday tomorrow. The big 2-0. Hehe. No more teen years. hmmm. Scary.

Well time to go.

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wow its been a long couple of days. Busy too!

I may write this in 2 parts and finish the 2nd one off Sunday arvo....I'm kinda already exhausted.

So my classes are all over and now my assignments are all handed in. I have no idea if any of them are any good...but I'm sorta past caring at this minute. I know I have passed the year and right now thats kinda what I care about. I am SO glad I am on holidays now, though it feels a little odd there not being something I should do! lol

So here's my last few days in a somewhat biggish nutshell-
Wednesday I slept in a little, got up and roamed the net for a little while before getting started on the proper writing of my report. It took me a while to get it going and I ended up getting most of it done that afternoon. I probably would have finished...but I was talking to Elsa on the phone and we were chatting and organising her to come over later that arvo. I got a bit more done after that and then let the rest of the house have the comp. I walked down to Burwood (or Burwoody :P) station to meet Elsa and then we hung out for the night. After dinner we watched Crossing Jordan, Strangled to be specific. We laughed so hard and had a ball. There is some something about watching some things with people that don't care if you talk right through it and spending the whole time laughing or rewinding and discussing stuff thats going on in the ep (and stuff thats related). Its just too fun. hehe.
We also watched Will and Grace and did a bit of channel flicking before spending a decent amount of time on the comp. I showed her all the stuff that she hadn't been able to see cause her comp is all broked and tempermental.

We got to bed a little after half past 12 and then chatted for a few hours, before finally falling asleep. I woke up at 6:30 and let her sleep while I went off and showered. I was hanging out with Nikki watching tv till a little after 8, when Toffee decided to go crazy in my room and I woke Elsa up. Nic went off to school and we made breaky and sat around.
The foxtel man came a little after 10 and we just hung around keeping an eye on him. Mostly looking at old photos and also this 'mini pops' book, with little pixelated people and we were trying to guess who they were. Its a cool little book. The foxtel was all done just before 12 and the guy left us to explore our new foxtel digital. It was very exciting. We flicked and flicked somemore and watched a few different things and ofcourse spent more time on the computer. hehe.

I walked Elsa to the station around 4, after we watched a bit of Angel on foxtel (cause it was on) and then came home and did a little more work for my report and watched tv. I was really really tired and ended up having 3 coffees, one during Will and Grace(or possibly Law and Order) and another one during Gilmore Girls. I got on the comp for a littlewhile at 10:30, I finished off my report and was in bed by about 12(ish) I think. I had a semi early start Friday.

Well I'm nodding off here...I will continue the story of my really busy (and tiring) few days later on. So good night little non-corporeal journal and non-existant person who all my thoughts and activities are directed to. Hope its happy there in the world that is my brain. lol

...yep. Definately bedtime.

NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well sorta....
Today was my last class and I handed in 2 of my last assignments. I now only have 1 left, which I just have to drop in on friday.
yay.

Today I went off to class, about 7 people turned up, we presented our presentations and gave in our essays, then watched some more of a video. ...there was some guy in it that looked a lot like Brett. LOL.

After class a couple of us went to chapel street for coffees(or hot chocolates in my case, and Kelly's). Me, Stewart, Kelly, Crestina and Elenor. Man that girl's got issues, I am so glad i will probably never have to see her again. *crosses fingers* here's hoping! hehe. She's drives me nuts, she doesn't like me and meh, I am definately NOT her biggest fan. One regret I have for the year is that I didn't get a chance to tell her off. dang.

anyways...Enough of my bitchy meaness...

After going for coffees, I went to the library at campus and did a little research for my report and chatted on BCA. At about 5pm, I packed up and headed off for the station. I got into the city at about 5:30ish(maybe a little after) and waiting for my train to Em's. -There was some weird lady that sat next to me and she was falling asleep and rocking....I was worried that she'd fall asleep on me! She ended up moving. There's some strange people out there....

Em's was a lot of fun, Kais was there, which is always fun. We ate yummy food(I was rather full) and then after watching an ep of Buffy, we played Turner Classic Movies Scene It. Harm and Elsa were on my team. 'Team Scoobs'. We did not win. :(
hehe, but we had fun, which is the main idea anyways.

I got home and watched an ep of CJ, and bummed around, chatted to Faithie on msn and looked at stuff on the net...Pretty much the usual(though Faith is not usually online...). I watched another ep of VM. Only 2 left of season 1 now. Nick said he'd give me season 2. So yay.

Tomorrow I gotta write this gorram report. I so cannot wait to have it all DONE! I am SO over it. I want my holidays man!

Not My Happiest Mood

Today was just another monday, same old same old. I got up at 7am, the sun was brightly shining into my east facing bedroom and I did my normal morning routine. I left for the station around 20 past 8 and got there with 6 whole minutes to spare. I sat on the train listening to my music as usual. Today it was the first disc of the Buffy cd that Nick made up ages ago. I also think my headphones are broken again...I do not have good luck with headphones this year, they are all breaking on me. Got to class, a total of 6 of us showed up, we watched most of GoodBye Lenin and then Jacinta and Eleanor did their presentations and class was done. Jacinta and I went off to have lunch at the food court and we got thickshakes from the juice bar and read magazines. I decided to buy TV Week, cause it had a bunch of stuff I wanted to read in it and I haven't bought a magazine in months....possibly all year(not counting the Empire Mag with the Serenity dvd)
After that we went and hung out in JB HIFI for a while. We had to hang around until 1:30 so that we could see Steve about our assignments. He wants to see everyone each week, I had only gone 1 week so far...which is probably a more than SOME people...but anyhooo..

We got back to campus and sat around waiting for Steve to return to his office...man he drives me nuts. He's a pain in the ass. I showed him what I had done...which was not much since I have been spending all my time finishing all the other assignments due lately. and he wasn't overly impressed. *shrugs* I couldn't care less at this point. I just can't wait to get it all over and done with for the year.
I will do my presentation and hand in my essay for Lufe tomorrow and then thats all the classes done, and I will tottle along on friday and drop in my report for Steve and he can kiss my ass if he thinks its not good enough. grrrr

I got home today, after walking home from the station and was not in a good mood by then. Scott was on the comp and wouldn't let me on, even though I have said that I need to spend time finishing off my assignments and after a whole lot of nagging, he finally let me on. I then had to go put out the washing, which he had not been able to do...cause he's a lazy pain in the ass. It was one of those days I think. He also couldn't be bothered washing the dishes(he wouldn't look hard enough for the plug..). I finished off my media folio and essay and then grumbled to Mum when she got home, and not at all surprising...she DIDN'T yell at Scott about his lack of doing stuff. Which drives me crazy, because when I am home all day, and even when I working on assignments, she yells at me if I do not put out the washing or do the dishes. Stupid double standards.

Tonight I watched Supernanny and Grey's Anatomy on tv and then filled in time watching an ep of Las Vegas I taped Saturday night and then an ep from season 4 of Crossing Jordan. Scott was still on the comp when that finished, so I was watching a countdown of best movie songs on Fox Classics. I was tap dancing around my living room. I miss my dancing. There was also a little singing. hehe.
After that I watched 2 more eps of Veronica Mars, only 3 more to go I think.

Well I should go to bed...its after 3 now...and I gotta get up and walk off to the station tomorrow. I so can't wait for this week to be over! (yes I know I've probably said that too much! lol)

The Start of the Last Week

Here it is, my very last week of my course. I have classes tomorrow morning and tuesday afternoon. And thats it. I can't wait.
I pretty much finished my essay today, and I hate the fact that I have been talking about practically nothing but my gorram essay all week. I have also pretty much finished my media folio, so thats good. My report due friday still needs a heck of a lot of work. But that will come when the other stuff is done.

Today I didn't really do much. My brother didn't get home until late in the afternoon, and my parents and sister were in and out of the house all day. I think I pretty much sat here at the computer all day again. -Though I did have a few breaks, I made cookies at one point. The easy kind, that you just break apart and bake. They taste decent enough, chocolate is chocolate. :P
I did a lot of work on my essay, its really crappy and I have no idea if its what he wants...but I'll hand it in anyways. I kinda don't care anymore.

My mum and sister spent the day ranting about this house they went and had a look at while on their walk. I remember having rants like that. Thinking we would move into this great house we saw, that would be totally perfect for us, if only we could actually afford it. I have never ever moved in my life. I have lived my whole twenty years(well 19 and 51 weeks) in this same house, in the same street, suburb, city, etc etc. I have always wanted to move and hopefully will move around a bit when I'm older. But I really can't see us moving anytime soon. My dad doesn't want to and really I do love where we live, its just our house that is the problem, its just not what we want. Its a perfectly fine house, and big too, but we just need something new, something different I think. *shrug*

Tonight I sat around, with nothing to do and I was going through the draws in the dining room. I was looking at all the old school photos, looking at how cute I was as a little kid :P. I was also looking at a few of the old stuff that mum had kept from when I was sick. My prescription books and stuff, and I don't know why exactly, but over the last few years I have really been into findin out about what happened to me as a kid. I hardly remember all the treatment, its all a blur and bits of memories pieced together. The parts I do remember are not all pleasant ones and then I get into a whole train of thought about how I didn't get my normal childhood like everyone else and I always end these kinds of things wanting to cry. -I don't know why I am writing about this stuff here....normally I don't talk about that stuff anywhere, but it just seems to be typing itself.

I think the whole, my very last check up at the childrens hospital being next month is getting to me. I will be going there for the last time for my treatment and seeing my doctors for the last time and thats sad. I have known a lot of the people I see there, since I was a very little kid. I have been going to that hospital at least once a year since I was 5 years old and spent a great deal of my primary school years in there....so to never go there again and to go to some new hospital with new doctors that I don't know and don't know me....scares me.

....oddly enough that totally contradicts my whole wanting to move stuff I was talking about just about all that....but it is a little different. But not really. That hospital has been a 2nd home to me for most of my life and to leave that home terrfies me....but I know it will all be fine and dandy....I just have to let it go. I will take my mind off it with other stuff soon and I will feel better.


Tomorrow is another day

Miles to go before I sleep

..well maybe.

In reality I'd very much like to be in bed around 3am....which gives me about 15minutes to write this and finish up on the comp. But thats not what I mean about miles to go and all.

For the last year I have been doing this course. Liberal Arts at Swinburne TAFE prahran. This semester my classes were, Economy and Society with the Columbian teacher that wants desperately for us to enjoy the class...unfortunately through no fault of his own..it didn't end up that way, Text and Culture -Olga's class and my fave of the lot, we got to watch films and study media and symbols in socitey etc and she's such a character and always an entertaining person, Inquiry and Presentation with Cheryl....where we really had no idea what it was we were supposed to be doing...but she wanted to teach us about Renaissance Florence and though pretty much the whole class was not interested..I was. We also had to do stuff related to careers and jobs etc...which didn't have anything to do with Florence..but anyways... and that leaves Steve's class, Nature and its Human Transformations. Our classes really have the stupidest titles...Probably one of the most interesting classes and one with possibly the most work...and it has left an impression on me, but Steve himself...can be a real pain sometimes...sure sometimes he's all cool and chatty...but not really a very flexible person when it comes to help and stuff.
But with only 2 classes left and a little less than a week till I am offically finished for this year...I can't wait!
Now if only I could come up with a course or even an career angle to look into doing once I have finished this one...sometimes I just wish someone would tell me to do something and it'd be simple like that. But I am interested in so many things and I also have the trouble of not being the greatest student, though I do well, I wish I could get the high grades a little more often. and I know that my parents (and possibly teachers) would say that I could do well if I tried a little harder, and what worries me is that that is probably true. If I didn't get so sidetracked or devoted more time to work on these assignments...I could possibly get the great grades...but thats just not me. I will just have to wait until I find the thing that gets me really interested and something that will bring out my best work.


So moving on from that somewhat depressing conversation with myself(and you people reading this, whoever you may be) and a rather indepth look into my mind...
Today was just another saturday. I got up late, around 11am and then sat around the house. I read the paper, read the catalogues, etc etc. Then in the afternoon, I sat down her at the computer and after reading through BCA and a few other websites, I did some more work on my essay. I actually got a fair bit done today...though I am not sure if my essay even makes sense. I will finish it off tomorrow and hopefully make it make a little more sense...but I dunno if I care anymore...I just want it all overwith for the year. I have worked really hard this year and spent so many days in class, when the others in class have decided not to show up, each to their own reasons as to why not...but I am just burned out. It's so draining to be the good one all the time. I just want to sleep for a month and enjoy my summer vacation. I can't wait to go to the beach and get up whenever I want to and stay up late and watch a lot of silly tv and be able to spend time with my friends and stuff. Thats me, the dreamer, always being positive and focusing on the good stuff. Damm that can be a pain the ass. hehe.

Okay so enough of this crazy psychobable....

This evening my parents went out to dinner with friends at a local restuarant. My brother went off to a friends place soon after and so it was just me and Nikki. I watched the Fight Club dvd that Nick had lent me and Nikki was in hte back room playing on her xbox and watching tv.
I can now cross FIGHT CLUB off my list of movies I 'have' to see. It was good. And very interesting.
After that ended I watched Will and Grace on foxtel and then my parents came home and brought their friends with them. So me, mum and the female friend all chatted in the kitchen, while dad, the husband of the woman we were talking to and another friend of his were downstairs, drinking and acting like typical Aussie males..talking loudly about stupid things. :P
The couple were parents of a kid in my brother's year in primary school and I think they are on one of the same sports teams..but I really have no idea. lol. They left just before Midnight and then I sat here on the comp and watched 3 more eps of Veronica Mars. I got to see my first Alyson Hannigan ep...which was kinda weird..but good.

Only a few more to go now...

and wow my 20th birthday is only just over a week away...scary. I better hurry up and think of something to do.

Okay so its now 3:11am....so much for going to bed by 3....oh well. Now is just as good a time as any.

We Have Progress

Oops, I almost forgot my blog entry for today...not that it really matters if I post one every day or not...but I like to.

Last night I was really really bored. I did a fair amount of work on my media folio for economics and society in the afternoon/evening. I then sat around trying to think of something to watch on tv. I eventually decided to watch an ep of Firefly. Which was really weird to watch, as I haven't watched the actual eps for ages, but I have seen the movie Serenity 4 times since I last watched them, so it was weird seeing them not running for their lives and all. haha.
I then watched more tv and then decided to watch the NCIS season finale.....yes I was really bored and had nothing better to do than watch tv last night. And then played Donkey Kong 3 on our old Super Nintendo. -yes its ancient...but I still like it. hehe.

I sat up late talking to my guys on BCA. It was really nice to have a late night BCA chat with Elsa again. Its been a while as her comp is not being at all friendly these days. Which sucks. But there was a whole bunch of people online last night and so there was lots of silly conversation to be had. It was fun.

Today I slept in till about 11:20 and then got straight on the comp and mucking around for a little while before getting started on my economics and society essay due tuesday. I actually got a fair bit done today. I refused to leave until I had at least 500 words. Which I did acomplish, but I have a feeling that a lot of it will be edited out later on. *sigh*
I also managed to do other things that I had to do around the house...though there is still a huge pile of clean laundry in my room that is still not completely put away, I attempted some of it this afternoon.
My brother went off to the movies which got him out of my hair-thank god! and my sis brought her somewhat annoying friend home from school with her...they were being somewhat pains in my ass. But my mother came home and got it sorted out. yay.
We went down to Camberwell, and looked around Target and went to get a few things from the supermarket, before heading home for dinner. Stopping at Blockbuster to rent Bewitched on the way.
My brother and dad brought home pizza for tea. It was okay. Not that great...imo.
My sis and I sat down to watch Survivor. and then we watched Bewitched. It was pretty boring...but wasn't completely terrible. It had its moments.

Tonight I watched 2 more eps of Veronica Mars. 13 down now. yay. Good show. I'm enjoying it.
And added a few more lines to my script...which seems to have been put on the backburner this past week. I have seem to have lost some of my inspiration. which sucks. Hopefully when my course is done for the year, I will be able to finish it off. *crosses fingers and toes* Here's to hoping.


Less than a week left! Woo and a hoo!

Finally!

I finally have time at home by myself today! Living with my family of 5 people means that I very rarely get the house to myself.
But at the moment my mother is working, so she's out of the way, but my brother is home cause he has exams. Curse his year 11ness. lol. Today he had an exam and then went to a mate's place. So I am sitting here playing my music loudly. hehe.

I wasn't sleepy last night, I was boycotting sleep. I went to bed about 2:30am and lay there for ages, before eventually falling asleep.
I had my alarm set for 8:15. I was awoken at about 8 by my mum asking me what time I was getting up. I was really sleepy. I ended up getting up at about 20 past 8. My sis was on the comp, I made sure she was ready for school, before going about my morning schedule. She left for school and I printed out the stuff I needed for my presentation for my last thursday class. I walked to the station, my brother still being asleep. -Lucky bastard.

I met Jacinta and Kelly at Richmond station and we chatted while waiting for the train to come. We got to class...and whole 2 other people (Judith and Sarah) showed up. We were supposed to be having our last class with Olga and doing our presentations which was the final assignment. So the 5 of us did ours. Jacinta and I did ours together.
We watched (and laughed histerically) while Olga called up Stewart and was telling him off for not being there. She wasn't overly impressed that no one turned up. Our class has horrible attendance.

After class we went to see Steve to show him our stuff for his final assignment. He said he wouldn't see us till 1:30. It was about quater past 11 at this time, and we were not going to hang around, so we left.

I have spent the afternoon putting out hte washing and bringing in the stuff that was dry, and getting my media folio assignment somewhat on it's way.
Its so sunny and warm outside. It's really quite lovely.

Only 1 more week of doing this work left. yay.

Wonderful Wednesdays...totally boring

Wednesdays are one of the most unfun days of the week. While you are 2 days closer to the weekend than Monday, you are stuck in the middle of the week, with still more days to come. Personally I hate wednesdays because it means that yesterday was tuesday and I miss everyone that I was with tuesday night at Em's. It's the worst day, cause it's a whole nother week before we see each other again, and thats no fun at all.

Today I had to go in to swinburne to re-enrol. I got up early(for a wednesday), at about 9:30am and sat around on the computer. I put on the washing, I put out the washing, I opened all the blinds and let light into the house...while my brother slept till about 11:30.
I left the house a little after 12 and walked to the station to catch my train. For some reason there were a lot of people on the train today. I always have to change trains at Camberwell station, because for some reason my line is a short one, so we only get half the services, at least in the middle of the day anyways.
I got to Richmond and sat around listening to my (dad's) crappy discman, waiting for the Sandringham train to arrive. It takes me 3 trains to get to tafe in the middle of the day. It is sometimes very annoying. But today was all good. The sun was out and it was semi warm and I was still kinda hyper from last nights Em's. The train arrived and I helped this lady with her pram onto the train, for some reason that really stuck out as a big part of my day. I dunno why exactly. Maybe its the fact that I was aware of the fact that I actually am a kind person, despite what my parents(and brother and sister) think and say most of the time...

Anyways...

I got to tafe and not at all surprising, but hardly anyone from my group showed up. Jacinta was there and we chatted as I filled out my forms. We sorted out our presentation for tomorrow's class and then played with the video, trying to see if it would work. It did not.
She gave me some more magazine clippings, she rocks. She's always giving me clippings with bits and pieces about Crossing Jordan and Jerry O'Connell and Jill Hennessy and anything else she thinks I'd want, such as Serenity stuff. I cannot belive how much stuff she has given me this year. It's crazy! ..or maybe SHE'S crazy! lol
So all up I was there about an hour at most. I caught my train home, getting a really crappy old train from Richmond and then having to change again at Camberwell. But at least that train was nicer. :P hehe. I walked home from the station, enjoying the sunshine and got home about 2:30.

For no reason at all really, I decided to watch Hocus Pocus. Just because I had found out last night that Sean Murray(McGee from NCIS) was in it. I do love that movie and knew exactly who he was and then spent the whole movie being miffed that he was only 16 at the time!...it seems wrong when you see movies with people that are much older than you now, but were your age or younger in these other movies...its just weird!

Tonight I did nothing special. I didn't even really watch much tv like I usually do. I spent a good hour or something going though some of my old magazines(like ones from 98-2002) and then watched an ep of Will and Grace on Foxtel, Spicks and Specks and then (after my mother and sister watched Kath and Kim) I watched an ep of Crossing Jordan, while I waited for my mother to get off the computer.

Oh yes and I have also mostly worked out my presentation stuff and also watched an ep of Veronica Mars.

Very exciting stuff!

Snugglefests

Today I did not go into tafe. I was supposed to go to class in the afternoon, but since I already have been to WAY more of the classes than the rest of the people in my classes, I decided to skip it so that I could spend the day working on my essay. Which sounded good in theory, but I didn't really get much done at all. I think I am starting to get stressed out about it all. I have to have everything done by next friday and it's starting to worry me. I had a small panic attack this afternoon and luckily that calmed down by the time Blue/Lucy came to pick me up to go to Em's.

I haven't talked about Em before. Pretty much every Tuesday, we go over to Em's and we watch Buffy or Angel or Firefly and have dinner and chat and have fun together.
Tonight there was a lot of us and everyone was feeling rather sentimental about our days of BCA and the things that we have done together because of the forum. To us its a 2nd home and most of us have spent over a year of our lives talking to these people and others about all kinds of things, and so its gonna be sad to see it all change.

But there was hardly a sad face at Em's tonight, despite the sentimentalism. I think that was in part due to the large amounts of sugar we were consuming. I know that tonight I ate WAY too much food. I had extra pizza, lollies, 2 different kinds of cakes, and biccies too! I was stuffed! And extremely hyped up on SUGAR! I had a really good time, chatting to everyone, enjoying cuddles and snuggles, mostly from Harm. Who is such a sweetie! We had a lot of fun, making fun of Petey and his 'dress ups'. I don't think I have laughed that hard in ages! lol. Everyone was just really really happy tonight. It was really great to see everyone get along and be able to enjoy being with each other. There was Buffy games to play and eps to watch, but a lot of the time was spent chatting. Lol even during the games and eps. Tonight may have been one of my most favorite Angelfests at Em's ever, just because I had so much fun and everyone was so happy and having a good time.

-For some reason during the night, and probably as part of my total hyperness, I developed a stutter. So that was kinda weird. No accents tonight though. Oh and according to Pete, I apparently have Thunderbird eyes. ..he sorta explained what he meant, but I was totally brainless tonight and was not really comprehending much at all....Though I think the pics of him in the dress with the wig are gonna be stuck in my head for a while....cause that was damm funny!

Love ya's all! *huggles*

A Sad Sad Day

Today was going perfectly fine......until class was over and I was reading a text message I had gotten from Ella. -Have I mentioned Ella before? She is an awesome one. I don't get to see her enough...granted I have only spent 4 days with her in real life....but I talk to her a lot online.

Speaking of online....thats what the message was about. BCA, aka buffy.com.au is closing. Our leader. hah that sounds silly...but anyways...it's time for BCA to close down and so there will be no more forum. BCA is where I met most of my best friends. I visit the forum at least twice a day and have spent hours and hours talking to people there since the 17th of Febuary 2003.
It was all because of that forum that I met these great and amazing people, that I have come to love like family. I blame the Puppy...aka ELSA. hehe.

Well I got the message and then after the shock, messaged back and got the answer. Suze our leader and Lib our Daddy, have done amazing jobs running the forum, but it's too much for them to be responsible for in their lives now. Suze has a little baby on the way, which is GREAT! Big Congrats to Suzele Magoosle and Boff.

So it's the end of an era. And so far I am taking it surprisingly well. I haven't really cried, though I have gotten a little teary at some of the memories that keep getting brought up. I think it's gonna take a little while to sink in. It doesn't close until Christmas day, so thats sometime for me to get used to it.
I spent the whole afternoon, when I was going to do work for my assignments, reminsicing and making a vid with pics of my time on BCA.

It will probably hit me tomorrow night when I go to hang with the usual Tuesday crowd at Em's Angelfest and I can't wait. I need cuddles. And I need to see them all. To know that they will still be there even when the forum is not. -Which is something else that just occurd to me...I have always always had the net to talk to these people and BCA has been the center of that. It will be very odd not having that central place to go to and talk to them everyday. I'm sure other forums will pop up and all...but it just won't be the same.

I may end it there. It's been a long afternoon and I will probably end up having more to say later.

RIP BCA. Love You, Miss You forver!

Fun in the Sun

-oh and the dancing cow mention from the last post was about how Elsa got a cow puppet for her birthday...and there is a dancing cow on msn... and yeah it's a thing. hehe.

So today i went to a foxtel day. Their 10th Birthday bash. It was out at flemington racecourse. I had never been out there. I drove over there and it was a pretty easy drive actually. Some good practice for me, including freeway time!

We got there a little after 11 and stuff was going, but there wasn't that many people around, so the lines for the activities were pretty short. After looking around a bit and getting a few balloons. I went and lined up for the baseball batting cages thing they had. My mum and little sis were standing with me and they decided they wanted to do it too. So it got to my turn and I missed a few, but I hit most I think. Then my sister had a go and then my mum. They got these tennis balls which you took over to a tent and got a free hat. I for some reason did not get one. *shrugs* But mum gave me hers, so me and Nikki got these New York Yankee caps. Mines tiny, as I have a tiny head. lol. Nikki's is way to big for me! and she's only 10. She has really thick hair. -So did I once upon a time. (I was somewhat annoyed when I learned later that they had Red Sox caps, cause those would have been better. lol)

After that we did more exploring. It was pretty much a bunch of tents set up and rides and stuff and a big stage for music. We got free popcorn, water, pepsi, lollies, etc etc. Stickers, a frisbee, a rainbow of balloons, and I got to play in the crime investigation tent, which was cool. I got to play with the face recognition program and look in miroscopes. I went on dodgy dogems. and got whiplash from some kids that couldn't drive, that kept bumping into me! lol. There were baby animals! I wanted to keep the pig and the baby goat and the lamb. There was Geese. I asked my mother if I could juggle them...she said no. -If you have ever watched Firefly you may know what I am talking about. It's from the ep Our Mrs Reynolds.
The animals were SO cute! There were a few piggies. One made me think of Babe, but one did make me think of Ella's Numfar. There were duckies! and Bunnies! and Sheeps and goats and little goats and little sheep and a little cow and a scary looking rooster(though most look scary if you ask me) and some baby ducks(which made me think of NCIS).

By the end of the day we were tired and hot. I ended up getting sunburnt! We stopped at Maccas (McDonalds) on the way home, cause we were pretty hungry. And I spent the evening playing frisbee with Nikki and Toffee the kitty (he was very cute). Watching an ep of NCIS and doing homework.
I so don't want to go to class tomorrow. But I think we are watching a movie. So maybe I will write a little more of my script. I wanna get that finished soon!

-toodles!

Dancing Cows and Glow in the dark mini golf


So last night I went out for my friend Elsa's 21st.
I started off my night running around my house trying to get myself ready, after getting money of my parents and then doing other stuff like wrapping presents-which for some reason had to be left until the last minute. *shrugs* I spent about 40minutes in the afternoon making a cardboard LPod. Yes LPod. -It's an NCIS thing. And I was making this while watching a vid that was taken at my last Camp Quality camp back in 2001. It brought back so many memories, I got a little teary. I miss the camps and the people. Mostly the people.

So anyways..on to something LESS depressing.
So when the time came I was picked up by said friend, which seemed odd that she was picking ME up on HER birthday...*shrugs*
And off to Knox we went. We got there and found the restaurant where we were meeting everyone (Bar Bosh) and sat around waiting for people to turn up. Eventually people did and there was many introductions.
The food was good. I shared a gourmet pizza with my friend 'Faith' and was then made to eat the wedges that kept magically appearing on my plate.
I sat around with Ness, Brett, Nick, Lucy and Faith (and Elsa when she was down our end) and we were talking about pretty much everything, from classes and assignments, and movies, tv, everything. After dinner we had cake and we all sang. -I don't understand how people don't want to sing. Somehow I ended up with two pieces of cake. I assume it was one for one of my personalities, and one for another. lol.
After cake (and sorting out the bill) we headed off around the corner to the Mini Golf place. It was pretty freaky or trippy..it was all glow in the dark and there were pictures painted on the wall with fluro paints, some of the pictures were just WEIRD. Now I totally sucked at playing, and was having trouble keeping my ball on the course! I do love mini golf because it's fun. I suck, but I have fun while I suck. lol.
Since there were 8 of us playing, we split into 2 groups, Me, Ness, Nick and Brett and Elsa, Faith, Lucy and Elsa's mum Karen. I dunno how they did, but Nick did the best out of my group.
Oh yes and there are interestingly colored glowing rocks in their...funnilly enough they actually rock when you stand on them which Ness and I found out, after almost falling off some. heh.
After the golf, we said our goodbyes and hugged etc. I got a lift home again with Elsa and her mum. I got home a little after 12. I somehow decided to watch another ep of Veronica Mars - I was given the eps by Nick and while I am not LOVING the show, I like it enough and am finding myself having to watch the whole set. Though if I had been watching it on tv, I may have lost interest. Odd that.
After fighting to get the kitty out from under my bed, I gave up and just left hte door open a crack and went to sleep. I was totally exhausted.

-That may be all for today.
I need to get working on those assignments I have. hmmm. oh what fun.

Lets Start at the very Beginning. I hear its a good place to start

...at least thats what Julie Andrews sang anyways.

Welcome to my blog. Ya know I never thought I'd actually end up writing one of these....and yet now I see that it was pretty much inevitable! lol. I really do have a lot to say! As anyone who has ever met me would know! hehe.

So for my very first post I would like to give a general rundown of what I am up to this week, and what I have been up to.

Whatever you know me as, be it Scooby_Gal/Scoobs, BuffyJewelLily, Lilyjnr, Serenity_Gal etc etc etc....the list really does go on and on....and on....and on. You are sure to know of at least one of my big loves in life, my many many tv show obsessions. New this year to the obsession list was Crossing Jordan and Las Vegas. Oh and I must ad NCIS too! I blame certain friends for the latter 2. The first one I watched originally of my own accord. My previous obsessions with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly are still evident and active. -I doubt they will ever go away completely. And that goes for all of my obsessions. I still love the watch the eps of 90210 I have on tape from way back when(taped off foxtel not off tv) and I still hold my Care Bear and Babysitters Club obsessions close to my heart.
Okay so enough of the obsessions.....I'm sure there will be many a mention of them as time goes on.

I am currently studying a certificate IV in Liberal Arts and only have a few weeks (and a few assignments) left of that and then next year I will be doing the Diploma year.
For the last week I have been very slack with my work on my assignments. I have one due next week on the Moon Landing...you know the whole "One small step for man..." thing. It's a presentation in class that I am doing with my friend Jacinta. After that is done, I have 3 more things to hand in. One is a report due on the 25th(the very last one) which I am writing about Nuclear waste and where it should be dumped etc. It's a somewhat interesting topic. And I did pick it myself. Then there are the boring and hard ones left. They are for economics. My least favorite of all the subjests. I have to write an essay on Australia and the OECD. I have no idea what I am going to write yet. Luckily we got it extended to the 22nd instead of the 15th, so I have an extra week to work on it. I also have to hand in a media folio thing, which has to be presented to the class about it. Mine is on Melbourne and is it the most liveable city.

Oh yes. I am from Melbourne Australia. I suppose I really should introduce myself somewhat.
So for those that do not know me. My name is Carlie Sheehan. My middle name is Ellen, just incase you were wondering :P My birthday is the 28th of November. I am a Sag and damm proud of it! So I will be turning 20 in a couple of weeks. So these are the last few days of my proper teen years.
But today is the birthday of a very dear friend, so I have to give a shout out birthday mention to Elsa. HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I may leave it there for today. I'm sure I'll have something more to say by tomorrow. I always do!

Tonight I am off to dinner for Elsa's birthday and then we are gonna play Puttz, which is glow in the dark mini golf. I can't wait! It should be a blast. Who doesn't love mini golf?!
