Wow I can't believe I almost forgot to write this. I bet my parents will be home again by the time I finish. Oh well. :)
Today is the last day by myself and the family comes home from Canberra (pronounced Can-Brah, like Blah) our Country's Capitol. Today I spent the day finishing off the episodes of Veronica Mars I had to watch, listening to music and updating mine and Elsa's website. I added new pages for Garret and Woody and played with Jordan's a bit.
Last night Ness and Brett came over for a movie night. So I spent the whole day cleaning the house..well sorta. I also walked back down to Blockbuster to take the dvd I rented Friday back, watched an ep of Veronica Mars and a couple of other things.
Somehow Toffee managed to get himself trapped in the shower on Friday that was funny, cute and funny.
Elsa was online for the first time in months yesterday, it was totally weird. Good, GREAT, but weird. lol.
Ness arrived and we chatted until Brett came and we then chatted some more. After a while we decided we better order dinner, so we picked a couple of pizzas and I ordered them. I had no problems with ringing up and ordering, I seem to have gotten over some of my phone fears...Yay a new milestone for me. I hate phones, I have phone fear.
So after we ordered dinner, we sat in my living room trying to pick a movie to watch. We finally decided on Psycho Beach Party. The one that Faith and Elsa insisted on buying me on Thursday for $2. Lol. Brett drove us up to get the pizzas and we came home and ate, then went and watched the movie. It was so bad it was good. lol. It was one of those parody films, and had all these peoples in it from things. It was so stupid, we cracked ourselves up. lol.
After that we watched a bit of Will and Grace and Las Vegas. Then we went into the kitchen and chatted till almost 2am. We looked through my old tv scrapbook thingy, and Ness and I talked A LOT about 90210. It was weird. heh.
We ended up making a list of the movies to watch at the next movie night and ended up only being able to remember 2 of them. -The Princess Bride and Breakfast Club.
They left just before 2am and then I sat around on the net for a little while and went to bed. I left the dishes till this morning, as I didn't feel like it last night.
So while there was only the 3 of us, we had a lot of fun I think. I did anyways :)
Well the fam are still not home. But they will be soon and things will go back to normal. Which equals having to take turns with the TV and the computer. Oh well.
I didn't get my chapter finished for the fanfic thing, nor did I finish my script. But probably will this week sometime...hopefully.
Toodles

All Alone At Last
Uck I am SO tired. I am going to head off the bed in a minute, after I've posted this.
But I am finally all by myself! The family left just after 8 this morning. I woke up at 7:30, as they were supposed to leave between 7 and 8am. But when I got up, Mum was still in the shower and the car was not packed up. But eventually they left.
I then went and showered and sat down to watch Providence. After that I put out the washing and got ready to go to the city, eg. finished charging my iPod. I also finished downloading Las Vegas.
So at 11am, after attempting to stop Toffs from fighting with some other cat out in the street, I headed off for the station. I got there early, but all was good. It was warmish today. That was nice! :) hehe.
I got into the city at 12 noon, and met Elsa. Then Faith and Nick arrived.
We went off shopping and then to get lunch. I was really tired and sorta out of it. We chatted for a while in the food court, and even played bottle top bowling. lol. -I said I was out of it! heh.
After that we visited more shops and spent way too much time in Borders...(if that's possible), and then went and got ice cream. -It was yummy. I had Mint Choc and Cookies and Cream.
Then we went to JB and spent a while in there. I got the Las Vegas soundtrack and was going to buy The Mask of Zorro, but decided to get Win a Date With Tad Hamilton instead. lol.
Faith and Elsa insisted on buying me some cheap $2 movie, because apparently I HAD to have it. I dunno when I will watch it....someday. lol.
After that we headed for Flinders St Station, passing a trapeze thingy that there was many people lined up to try. We then said our goodbyes and each headed for our trains home. I got home just before 6:30pm. On the way home I saw a Bubble O Bill icecream wrapper lying on the ground, which made me think about that quote about Bubble Gum icecream from the Las Vegas ep -
I am obsessed with that quote. She is totally right! It's stupid. And so this icecream wrapper made me think about it again. Bubble O Bill's are icecream in the shape of a face (Bubble O Bill) and he has a ball of bubble gum for his nose. And how can you eat the icecream before it melts AND eat the gum. It would be quite prolematic! lol.
So anyways...
After I got home, just as I was walking in the front door, the phone rang and it was Mum telling me that they got to Canberra safely. -Though for some reason the car windscreen has a crack in it...
After that I sat down and relaxed and watched Friends. I was going to watch the new eps of CJ and LV when I got home, but I was too tired and so I am waiting till tomorrow morning. Yay.
I then went and bought in the washing off the line and did the dishes and watched tv. Then made dinner and watched Will and Grace. Then I washed my dinner dishes and watched the season 1 finale and the season 2 premire of Las Vegas. They are both quite sad eps. But I love them. :)
Then I just have been doing other things. I watched another ep of Veronica Mars.
Toffee is asleep, I'm gonna wake up early tomorrow to let him out and then go back to sleep....probably.
Well I think that's me all done then. Tomorrow I have a lot of things I want to do. I might go rent a movie, and buy milk and bread. And then just hang around the house.
Okies I'm off.
Farewell

Danny: "Bubble gum ice-cream?"
Mary: "Yeah! Sure! Every once in a while you run into a chunk of it in the ice-cream, and you can’t chew it, cause if you do you can’t swallow the ice-cream, because if you swallow the ice-cream, you could choke to death!"
Danny: "You could always spit it out."
Mary: "Ah hah! Then why put it in the ice-cream in the first
place?!"
Danny: "Mmm That’s a good question!"
Mary: "Mmmhmm."

2006 - Day 2
So last night I went to bed late-ish and ended up reading for a bit. Then I couldn't sleep, even though I was exhausted. - Go figure!
So anyhoo...today was the 2nd of Jan 2006. So far 2006 is going okay. lol.
Today I got up and watched Providence as normal, then I got ready and eventually, Mum, Nikki and I went to Chadstone to go see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was really really good! I mean there were some bits that semi bugged me, as they were different from the book, but when I thought about it they seemed to work easier for a movie version.
I had my doubts about the cast, but they pulled it off and I was able to accept them as my beloved characters, at least for the film.
Some parts made me jump..-mostly the bits with the wolves. lol. And there was crying. -I forgot to warn Nikki that there was sad parts, as she had only read part of the book. And she was crying, which made me feel sorry for her, but also happy that it affected her, that she was able to care about the characters and what was happening, which is one of the main things I think a movie, or book, or tv show needs to do!
I really really hope they do the next books soon! I really am looking forward to seeing the story continue on film.
I will never love the film better than the book. The book will always be my first love, but the film has a special place in my heart too, mostly because they essentially were my beloved charcters.
After the movie, we went shopping. I bought Michael Buble's cd, It's Time. (the 2nd major one). I haven't listened to it yet. I will probably do so tomorrow.
I also bought a calendar, the Desperate Housewives one. It's kinda cool. It has quotes and stuff!
I also bought me a necklace with the money I earned working on the elections back in November. It's a white gold 'C' with tiny diamonds...(at least I think they are diamonds...)
Nikki bought a bag, which she had been trying to find for ages (a bag, not the specific one..) and a pencil case.
The we headed home and all of Dad's friends where still at our place. - Them being there was the reason we went out in the first place...
They ended up staying till 8:30 or something I think. I watched Will and Grace all night on foxtel, and then watched Veronica Mars at 7:30pm and then watched a new Will and Grace.
After that Nikki and I watched a few eps of Las Vegas. In the middle of one of the eps, Kelly from Tafe called me up and we had a chat for a while, we may organise to go out sometime...if we can find suitable night..
Not much to do tomorrow, probably watching more tv, hopefully going to Em's....if someone that can drive me home is going that is...-My mum doesn't want me to catch the train that late at night.
So sweet dreams, - speaking of which, I had a really silly one about Lily, Bug and Seely from Crossing Jordan last night...it was weird and also really funny. lol.
Night night don't let the spacebugs bite :D

Still Overshopped, But Having Fun!
Today was not a so great day, well at the beginning anyways. Lol. There seems to be something out there trying to stop me from hanging out with my friends Elsa and Faith. Today for example, my alarm didn't go off at 8am like it was supposed to, instead I slept in till 10 to 11. Now I was supposed to catch a train at 11:26, of course I missed this train. I got up, showered, figured out what to wear, got ready, and left. I ended up catching not the train after the one I had missed, but the next one. I got there and all was good. Elsa and I browsed and then had lunch before meeting Faith a little later. After I had finished my lunch, Elsa pointed out to me that my nose was bleading! Fun. So I tried to stop that, with the help of a trip to the bathroom... It was quickly taken care of. Then as we were walking to the station, I noticed my bottle of coke in my bag was leaking. Woops. So a few things in my environmentaly safe AGE bag were a little sticky, but luckily Faith's pressie was not ruined. :)
We visited many stores, I bought a little something for my mum. I would have liked to get her something better, but I couldn't find much. I also had NO luck in finding anything for Nikki. Which sucks, but I have promised to take her shopping after Christmas and buy her something then. Oh well.
I got home a bit before 6 and relaxed a little, before Me, Mum, Nikki and Scott went up the street to meet for our annual Street Christmas Carols. We started at no.45 and worked out way around the street. We have been doing these carols for at least 15 years I think. So they are very close to my heart. I also love singing and I love the carols. -Though I think I may make up some new books myself next year, we were a little short of variety this year. Oh well.
Nikki and I had fun playing with the little kids of the street. These kids were 3 and under. The pushy, but adorable Lauren and the hyper, acident prone, but SO cute Harry. I love little kiddies. They were so cute. hehe. -Just incase you didn't get it...the kids were really CUTE! haha.
So that finished at 8pm and then I came home and watched Will and Grace and then some Law and Order, and then an ep of Las Vegas (Season 2). I watched Leno for a little while, and then got on the comp. I have now downloaded the first 2 eps of NCIS. I was supposed to be given the eps, but something happened and then I didn't...
I watched the 3rd ep of Season 2 of Veronica Mars and then went and watched today's ep of The View. I really love that show. They crack me up and they also talk about interesting (and sometimes bizarre) stuff. They also have celebs on and other cool bits and pieces. It's a US show, thats probably one reason I like it so much. lol.
Well thats enough of me for tonight. ooo only 2 more days till Christmas!
It's supposed to be really hot tomorrow. 36 degrees celsius, yeesh!
Nighty Night.

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.

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!

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.

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)

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!

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.
