(I wrote this thursday night, but forgot to post it until now.)
Thursday, 11:25pm
I was thinking about that thing, where people say who, dead or alive, they’d invite to a dream dinner party thing. And I was trying to think…who would I invite? I’d definitely have Lauren Graham (which is how I got onto this topic by the way…Cause I was thinking how fun it would be to spend you know, 30 minutes or whatever talking to her)
But then comes the problem of who else would I invite?! There are tons of people…okay mostly actresses/actors whatever…that I’d LOVE to meet. But would they all be able to function at a dinner party. –Yes. This is where my mind actually goes…
For example, I’d LOVE to spend a few hours with Sally Field…and Bette Midler….but would these two PLUS Lauren Graham be able to get a word in between the 4 of us? So then comes the problem of do you invite really chatty people or a few quieter people? And in terms of guys…do you go for eye candy or ones you’d actually want to talk to?
Matthew Perry would be very entertaining…course then he and Lauren would be all clicky.
I could invite Michael Buble. He’s a tad whacky…and nice to look at.
I forget what the number of people you’re supposed to have is, but I’m sure it’s something around 6.
So say I invited,
Lauren Graham
Sally Field
Bette Midler
Matthew Perry
Michael Buble
That only leaves one more person….I can think of a few maybes, but no one I’d be desperate to meet.
Course with all those people, it would probably turn into a sing a long of some kind. Cause if Bette’s there, I’d get her to sing…/and Buble in a bubble of course. Plus then I’d probably bring out the karaoke and make the others do it.
So maybe I should invite someone who is actually fairly straight and serious…..but I’m actually struggling to think of such a person right now!
So my options for the last guest could be,
Julie Andrews
Hillary Clinton
….I’m trying to think of someone dead…but its actually kinda tricky
Maybe someone else will come to me.
------------------------------------------------
Since I wrote this on thursday, I was thinking of a few other people, like Cleopatra, or God even. -That could really make it interesting.
But ultimately, I have no idea who, if someone made me pick 6 people suddenly I probably would have a lot of trouble.
....clearly I have overthought the whole thing WAY too much!
:P

12 of 12 June 2008
It took me forever to find my camera, but I managed to get my shots in for the day. Here are my 12 for Chad's 12 of 12 June edition.
1 of 12 - 9:42am
Burning dvds with recent eps of Las Vegas and ER for my friend and birthday girl Vanessa. (who even though I spent a good deal of the day with her...didn't end up taking any real pictures while we were out and about)
2 of 12 - 10:06am
Eating a chocolate crossant while watching the previous days ep of The View. - I always tape it off W and watch it the next day while I have breakfast and read the paper. -It's my news and current events hour :P
3 of 12 - 1:23pm
In the changerooms of Target at Chadstone Shopping Centre, trying on a bunch of cardigans.
4 of 12 - 3:56pm
Home again, exhausted and a little chilly. -Watching a stormy ep of ER circa 2002.
5 of 12 - 3:56pm
Getting darker and gloomier outside...who knows why that van was sitting outside my house. -I blame it on the builders for next door, who nearly parked over my driveway...
6 of 12 - 4:38pm
Snacking on some quite retro TV snacks. I haven't had these in ages!
7 of 12 - 5:34pm
Reading the new book I bought the day before. Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier. Pretty good so far. I have read a few of her others, and I studied Girl with a Pearl Earring in year 12.
8 of 12 - 6:22pm
My new cardi. Of course the one that looked best HAD to be the most expensive. But only by 10 bucks, so no big deal really.
9 of 12 - 7:55pm
Just come back from the Supermarket. Mum made me drive, probably cause my P plates were already on the car...that or she was just feeling lazy. :P
10 of 12 - 10:25pm
Filling in a claims form for Medicare. I had a bunch of tests last week, and one of them is making me claim it myself.
11 of 12 - 10:52pm
Killing some time playing a demo of Zoo Tycoon2.
12 of 12 - 11:15pm
Checking the tram times to catch a train to work Friday morning.

Part 2 of I hate Hospitals
I'm feeling a fair bit better now. I've finished my antibiotics. They seemed to help. But I'm still not completely over my cold.
So anyways...on Tuesday I had to go back for my tests. Mum decided to stay home from work. Partly cause she was sick herself, and partly to keep an eye on me after my episode the day before. Apparently I'm a drama queen!
Luckily my first test wasn't until 12:30, so I could sleep in. AND I was allowed to eat. So I was feeling fine. Except for the FREEZING cold. Apparently it only ended up being 11 degrees that day. The city was completely misty and foggy.
This test was over at St Vincents, instead of peter mac. We also drove in. It took us A WHILE to find a car park, but we finally did. We walked down the dingy old coridors of the hospital....it's seriously old fashioned and in need of a makeover. lol
I had to have a bone density test. It was fairly easy and not at all invasive. Just like an x-ray, all I had to do was lie there.
Then we had to drive over to Peter Mac, and find another car park. We were a bit early, that appointment wasn't until 1:45pm. We had a hot drink to warm us up. Then made our way over to pathology for my echo. Of course they were running late. We had no idea HOW late. I never ended up going in until 2:30 or something. Then my mum had to go find another car park, cause I didn't get out until about 20 to 4!
The damm chick that was doing my echo kept leaving and doing other things during it, so I was just lying there for ages by myself. I don't understand why she couldn't just do my echo THEN do her whinging or organising or whatever she was doing. It was very unprofessional. She never even appologised for it. and kept asking stupid questions about the reasons behind my test.
ALSO she totally bruised me! I was in pain the next day. I might even still have a tiny bruise.
That was the worst test out of them all. Even the fainting and being kept in the trolley bay with a needle in my arm was better than my echo experiance this time.
Oh well.
I went and had my x-ray yesterday, and will go back to see my GP sometime next week. Hopefully alls well. I'm sure it is.
Got my exam for Pop Culture this wednesday....hopefully I'll be prepared enough. I haven't really started studying......I better get working on that. :)

I Hate Hospitals
So this week has been a very unfun week for me.
Last Friday, was the last day of classes and the due date of all 4 of my final assignments. -lucky me.
But I'd finished them all, and handed them in. I was even moderately happy with them. lol.
Then as soon as its all done, I develope a cold. I argue that my body was fighting it off for me so that I could finish my assignments, then once I relaxed, my immune system gave in.
So I was poorly - odd word to use, but it fits..., all weekend. I didn't even get any real time to rest. I worked a few hours on saturday, only 3 so I was fine, but it didn't do my cold any good. Then Sunday I went over to chaddy with mum. I didn't get much, a pair of comfy shoes for work...they look like nurse shoes..which is probably what I should have been wearing all along anyways. I also got 3 more seasons of ER to watchover my break.
Monday I had to get up REALLY early to go to the hospital for my tests. Mum came with me and we went in on the train, and got there a bit before 8:30am, which was whem my first appointment was. It was a blood test, which I was supposed to fast for. So I hadn't eaten a thing since about 11 O'clock the night before.
They had one look at my veins and decided to wait till my CT to take my blood to spare my veins the needles which they can't really take. -my god how am I going to be when I'm 50?!
So since we had some time to kill before my CT at 9:45 which I was also supposed to fast for, we walked over to the gardens and stood in the only spot of sunshine we could find. It was also FREEZING this week, especially the 2 days I was in the city.
We headed back up and they managed to fit my ultrasound in early (instead of waiting till 12 noon), so I went and did that, which was all good.
Then they took me over to get changed for my CT. I hate having to wear hospital gowns...moreso cause changing takes forever. I had my needle put in, I was all fine, a perfect patient. Then she took my blood and left hte needle in my arm...so I couldn't bend my arm, but there was no real pain.
I had to sit around waiting for a while longer with mum....when all of a sudden, I felt really sick and apparently.......
...fainted.
Now can I just say, the last place I wish I had fainted was in a hospital!
They came rushing over to me, and made me get on a trolly. I had to stay there till they decided I was well enough to get my CT..which was about 5 minutes or so.
-I always feel pretty good after I have fainted. Which we worked out was the not eating or drinking for a long period of time. Once they took out my blood it triggered it. It sorta happened once before a long time ago.
I also had a temperature apparently.
SO anyways...they did my CTs, but then made me stay in the trolly bay till they could reach the doc to let me go. Gees. People way to overreact. lol
They arranged to get me some food and drink. FINALLY! and I bounced right back, I was sitting up, cheery, happy....annoyed cause I wanted to go home.
My temp even dropped a bit.
So I finally got to leave the hospital at 10 to 12...so I still ended up leaving before I should have. But then I had to go see my GP. She put me (and my mum) on antibiotics and ordered me to have a chest x-ray cause they thought I had pnumonia.
Docs always overreact.
Either way the drugs seem to have helped a little.
I might not go into what happened when I went back on Tuesday in this post....It could go for a while....as did the day. lol
