Last night (Thursday), I went to see Phantom of the Opera with Brett and Ness. Brett ended up taking us along for free, which was EXTREMELY nice of him. The show was AWESOME. I love all stage and musical shows. It makes the preformer blood in me rush to my head...or something. I dunno, but it's like an adrenaline (spelling?) boost when I see them.
Everyone was great in it, and since I only knew bits and pieces of the story and have never seen the movie version, it was great to have that sort of Phantom virgin experiance. I didn't know what was coming so it was extra exciting and more 'real'.
It also really makes me miss my dancing. I haven't danced since early 2002..but I do like to dance in my room, or the kitchen or the lounge room, when I get a chance. But it's not the same as getting costumes and performing on stage.
This arvo I worked...which was odd, I was looking forward to it and in a way felt a little sad to be going home after only 3 hours. I think not working is getting to me. I know I need to start looking for a new job where they actually use me and give me shifts. But I do like having a little extra free time to work on my uni stuff. Got 3 things due next Friday. Ouch!
Ben and Janelle's wedding is next weekend. Looking forward to that. I'm going to curl my hair for it. I will do a test run of my hair before then though. I want to look nice, a little more grown up if i can too. Sometimes I really hate looking like a teenager. I bet if I was taller they would think I'm older. Sigh. Oh well. Don't get me started on my height, we could be here all week! haha!
Only 1 more week of classes left, yay! I am still working towards my driving test. I just hope I don't get too nervous during the test. I probably will. I just hope I can do things properly. I really don't want to take the test twice.
Should probably go to bed soon. But I'm a little too wired to sleep. Maybe I'll go watch some telly.

Brrrrrrrr
Okay right now I am totally freezing! I don't know why exactly...I blame the new and not as cool as the old ones, rainbow paddlepop. lol.
The weather has been really back and forth lately. On the weekend it got to 31 degrees or something, which is very hot. Especially when it's been freezing other days.
I'm currently getting over a cold. Ick Ick Ick. It wouldn't be so bad, if I could only get rid of the coughing. The coughing makes it hard to sleep, and study and just do anything where I'm not talking. grr.
I finally got a shift at Safeway again. It's only 3 hours, on Friday arvo...but at least it's something. I'm very broke these days. I've still gotta pay off the rest of my bed, which should be coming in a few weeks...hopefully.
This really is sort of a mishmesh of posts. Only a week and a half left of Uni...Have to get started on my Media essay, and work more on my story for Writing Fiction. The MySpace assignment is going okay, but will need a few touch ups next week.
And my driving lesson on Monday went well, just need to keep practicing my parking. I'm sure the test will creep up on me quickly.
Like Ben's wedding. That's only a week and half away. I've got the shoes and dress, but I might try and get over to Chadstone this weekend to look for a little black cardi or something to wear over my shoulders, cause it might get chilly.
That's about all worth telling, 'cept for the very interesting, and not as easy as you might think game of Celebrity Heads at Ness' Saturday night. Some brains were just not working. Mine especially. lol

Comments and Trains That Don't Go
So today I had my Hazards test which is the first part of getting your P's. Luckily I passed! haha. I was so worried that I was getting everything wrong...cause you kinda just get used to clicking, and end up forgetting to actually think about things! But anyhoo. Yay. I passed with 74%.
Then I ventured off to Uni, since there was no point going home, only to have to leave again in 20 minutes or whatever. So I went to Starbucks and got me a Mocha frappechino, cause it was way too hot for regular coffee. I sat there for a while, then went over to the Library to make many many copies of my story for Writing Fiction. I had to workshop it today...which pretty much means people read and rag on your story. I understand the teachers intent when it comes to the activity...but in reality not everyone will like your story, or understand your story. And they put in their own ideas and in a sense can be really mean, even without knowing or meaning to be. Writing is such a subjective thing that in a way I really hate it as a class. While yes, the other people in the class are 'writers' too, they are still people with their own issues and ideas. So it's just really not that helpful or good for your self esteem to have other people analysing and disecting your work..especially when it's in such rough and early stages.
(gets down off soap box)
Then when I finally get to go home, the trains are stopped at Auburn station cause of some problem at Camberwel, so after waiting ages and ages and ages, I finally called Scott to come and get me. Auburn station is a really annoying place to be stranded. The Tram is ages away from there. Oh well. Hopefully they will be working properly tomorrow.

Feeling a little dim and bendy
I had these 2 really weird celebrity (my celebs, not like Angelina Jolie types) dreams last night. The first one involved Kate Walsh...doing something. -I don't remember that one at all really. But the 2nd one was about Lauren Graham. That one I totally remember. I was on the set of some movie with Lauren, and the whole first part of the dream played out as the story in the movie, or filming of the movie. Then the movie was done and we were heading home, or to the airport or something. -It was on location in like Turkey, or Russia or Romania or somewhere weird and far far away. But on the way home there was the most awesome sunset(or possibly sunrise) ever. It was also possible that we were not in a car, but on horses....I know my dreams are weird. I like that. lol
-I was actually waiting for the 3rd dream...things usually come in three's. -Maybe it would have if I hadn't had to get up so early. Stupid Uni. I love my classes this semester, but I really could use more sleep. -Oh well only a few more weeks till I'm back on holidays again.
The title of this post, is something I took from Grey's Anatomy. I'm halfway through season 3 in my dvds and loving it! I'd forgotten just how much I love that show! In one ep Meredith says she's "Dark and Twisty", in other words messed up. Now I myself have been feeling a bit funny these days, and not feeling the best. I wouldn't go as far to say I'm "Dark and Twisty", but definately dim and bendy. -Which is somewhere a little closer to the middle of the scale, the other pole being "Bright and shiny" (which I think was also part of the ep...).
My sister is still avoiding me, not talking to me, excluding me from all conversation. I know she's at the age, and is trying to figure out her place or whatever...but I just really miss her. My family is not at all very close. I've always been different and disconnected from my family, and my sister was my one link. She was my friend. She would watch movies with me, watch tv with me, get excited about the Sims. Nowdays she won't even talk to me, let alone go to the movies, or play a game. I really hope she moves through this phase soon, it's very lonely in this house for me at the moment. Especially since I don't have Toffee anymore.
-Well on that depressing note...
That's all for me tonight,

Catch Me Up
Been busy lately. Had holidays a little while ago, but just a week off Uni. I skipped the one class I was supposed to go to, to watch the Emmy's. I couldn't miss the Emmys! They were good.
Went to see Hairspray with mum on Saturday arvo. I loved it! I've been singing the songs all weekend! I think for the first time in ages, I actually want to buy a movie when it comes out. I'm gonna go get the soundtrack soonish.
Got assignments coming up. Presentations. I hate presentations. lol.
Not much else going on. -Not getting much work. No shifts this week OR last week.
Oh yeah. I ordered my new bed last week. But it's going to take a few weeks to arrive. doh!
My Grey's season 3 and Heroes dvds FINALLY arrived today. For some reason they took over a week longer to get here than Ness' and they supposedly shipped on the same day. *shrug*
I'm just over half way through season 2. -At least I have something to keep me busy till Ness has enough new eps of things to give me.
