I hate being asked this question! Well, I really would like my camera fixed. That's about it. I really don't care, if people buy me something I'll like whatever they buy me. And if they don't buy me something I really relaly just don't care.

This is the only place I remmeber living. Besides our old house, but this house is nicer. I have more room.

Can you whistle?
Nope. Well, sometimes by accident.

Naaaah I'm good with what I have. If I had a nose piercingall the snot that's constantly in my nose would come out of the hole. And that would be gross.

Do you get along better with boys or girls?
I don't think it really matters - I get along with some people better than others, irrespective of whether they're guys or girls. Cos some people are awesome. And some people you just don't click with.

incoherency

Only four more days until scary deadline life or death assignments are totally and completely over...
How exciting! =]

It was lovely spending my weekend seeing people I've missed.
It will be even lovelier when I don't have assignments to feel guilty about!

In other news, I have a music taste and I won't be sleeping tonight until I've proven once and for all that the October Revolution was a coup d'etat in 2000 words!
Go Emily go

I have not worked in so long, I am exceedingly poor.
Except I have new tutoring people, so hopefully that will make me exceedingly rich!
I sitll find it ironic I tutor maths and chemistry, when I do a Law degree and an Arts degree.
Hm. Never mind =]

I have a big long list of things to do once I get my life back =] I'm so excited!
Reading Criminal Law cases (I actually am excited, these cases are always exciting), seeing my people, printing more photos and putting them up, turning eighteen, going to Sydney and seeing button shops and Hillsong life, buying stationery, finish all the Jane Austen books, properly studying French so I can start to speak it and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping!
And working more often and less badly
Hooray! I love life even though it makes me so tired.
What an incoherent post.

Emily is a barrel of contradictions

I am a highly inter-contradictory person.

I don't like fancy food, but I love fancy cheese.
I don't like tomatoes, but I love tomato sauce on every thing that is meaty.
I don't like disorganization and messiness, but I can never be bothered cleaning up my room or putting my own stuff away.
I hate fancy, impractical shoes, but I also love them.
I hate wasting time, but I always do anyway.
I get annoyed when people say they could've done better, but they didn't try, but I do that too.
I don't like it when people don't do what they say they will, but I do it all the time.
I don't like glossy, expensive fashion magazines, but I like to look at them and wish all the clothes were mine.
I don't like wasting money, but I spend it all the time.

I'm excited for Liz and my curry expedition and musical extravaganza tonight. We are going to have an excellent time.
And I bought a new dress today,a nd shoes yesterday!
New things always make life more exciting.

I'm rather behind the eight ball in quite a few aspects of my life, but today I have, for no particular reason, been injected with positive energy and attitudes and I can totally get in front of it.

My cousin is getting married tomorrow! Which is all very exciting because she is lovely, and her fiancee is lovely, and her kid is lovely and now they can have a nice lovely family of loveliness!

I'm excited with all sorts of exciting plans coming up for an exciting month.

Sydney and Hillsong is totally booked now, except for accommodation. Well, I guess that's kind of important. But I'm so excited for cool stationery, button shops and new clothes and things! How great!

I was considering quitting Moo, but I'll stick around for a bit longer. My only problem is there is many weeks I cannot work, which may mean Flo might fire me anyway. In which case... I'll just go get a new job! Hmm... I would like to work in a cafe. But not a hard cafe. and something that fits into my free time and pays me lots. And that I can not feel guilty about not showing up. Or whatever. Hmm.. I'll think about it.

I really want to do something exciting to myself, liek cut my hair or get a piercing or something. But I have to say, I dont want any other piercings, and I don't want to cut my hair any different or else I might hate it! I suppose i could always be creative iwth my fringe. Or maybe, I could like cut my hair short on one half and leave it long on the other. That'd look awesome.

Can you tell I'm ranting??

I miss a lot of people.
Here is a shout out to the people I miss:

Lauren, Lindsay, Kim, Nat, Ari, Sally, Jessie, Laura, Lizzii (I'm seeing her tonight! Woohoo!) Megan, Kat cos I never see her anymore, Andrewww, Caitee, Nathan

And there are more but they'll do for now. Oui.
And I'm going to eat lunch now!
Au revoir

coming together

I really love it when everything starts falling into place, and life goes back to its sense-making, compartmentalized, synthesized, awesomized and wonderful self.

Criminal Law makes sense. French is making sense. Legal Process is still a waste of time but it makes sense. Politics is greatly making sense. History is readalicious but it always makes sense. My job makes sense. Maths tutoring may not actually make sense seeing as I don't study maths, but I can still make it make sense, and better yet, make it make sense to other people. The people in my life make sense in all sorts of wonderful, crazy and happy ways. Dance makes all kinds of relaxing, exciting and exhilarating sense. My study system makes sense. Warm clothes make sense. My new music taste makes sense! Heck, public transport makes sense. And coffee, that always makes sense.

So that's all I've really got to say - everything fell into place in my head today and I decided to share.
=]

I just visited my cousin and her new baby and he is just the most beautiful thing in the world. It amazed me how different people's lives can be, even when they're the same age living a ten to fifteen minute drive away, and growing up in the same family. But it was so lovely to squeeze his big cheeks, and catch up on life together.

That's all.
