Things You Didn't Know About Me - Part 2

Here's something else I bet you didn't know......

There is one so that would be my 'go to song', if for instance, my life depended on me singing well. That song would be Home - from Beauty and The Beast: The Musical. It is just one song that I feel confident in singing consistantly.....however lets hope that never happens, because its not THAT good.

Another song that might be my 'go to' song would be 'How Do I Live' by LeAnn Rimes, or 'You Were Meant For Me' - by Jewel.

Things You Didn't Know About Me

Starting a new mini post theme....things you may not know about me.


1. There are 2 songs that if I am listening to, I HAVE to dance to, I have no choice (as long as I'm not in public, or driving). These 2 songs are, 'Tonight's the Night' by P!nk, and Bust a Move - The Matthew Morrison Glee version.

I just really enjoy dancing to those songs, which I bet you didn't know.

Look's Like I'm Growing

I was thinking about it today, how I used to get really jealous all the time. Growing up if someone else had something, I had to have it too! I used to get so mad at my parents for not taking me places that other family members and friends would go - like Disneyland, I got mad about that one A LOT. I would also pester them to get things that others had, like DVD players. I begged for one for at least a year before we finally got one.

And when my sister got her new laptop, I would have been really mad and whinge about how I never got stuff like that when I was her age. Which has happened a lot, cause she's always gotten things much earlier than I did. Same goes with my bro. I got an ipod for a joint xmas and birthday pressie, he got 1 for xmas, lost it, then got a new one the next xmas......so its not entirely based on nothing, there is some good reason behind the way I used to feel.

Now, it appears I am growing. instead of worrying about what I don't have, and when I can get stuff....like my iphone (not so worried anymore), I'm letting things go. I'm prioritizing, and looking at the bigger picture.
I think being a poor student for these last few years has humbled me. Hopefully I've finally grown out of it....cause it could get messy later in life. But it's times like these that I think about stuff like this....or I've been watching too many behavoral themed things :P

A Tina Fey Weekend

So I had a bit of a Tina Fey weekend...sorta....not really....but I like the sound of it!

Friday was Nikki's birthday. My parents got her a very fancy laptop...which she needs, cause its impossible to do homework in the kitchen....however I'm still a little jealous.
Mum helped her start it up and then I helped with the harder stuff. Mum made pikelets for breaky.
I spent a good deal of the day helping Nikki with odd bits and pieces on the computer.
We went to Sofia's for dinner all five of us.....weird as heck - we haven't done that in years.

Saturday the house was pretty quiet and it was dark and rainy outside so I watched Victor/Victoria and then headed down to Ness' for movie night.
Sunday morning we went to see Date Night (with Tina Fey, and Steve Carell). It was really good....well I enjoyed it. It was also a lot better than I expected, not all the funny stuff was in the trailers...cause that happens sometimes.
(for more info the weekend....head over to my tv blog...)

Today I went over to Jacinta's. We hadn't seen each other since graduation, so we hung out for a while, then went over to The Glen. Got lunch and did some browsing. I bought a lip gloss from Priceline cause they had 20% off makeup.

Tomorrow I'm gonna head down and get my blood test done. I've got my annual doctors checkup at Peter Mac in a couple of weeks and should get that taken care of.

So not a lot else to report.....

Watch This Space!

Update - April

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!
