Go check this out! It's so crazy! I love it =D

Emily is a whinger
I'm a very naive person in a lot of ways. For example, I never knew the extent of devastation I could feel about taking the decisive action that I feel is the right one. I believed that if you do the right thing, then your pain will be minimal.
I never knew that I could cry every day for a week and a half straight and still not feel better. I just believed that one cry every three months could sustain you. Crying is the worst thing anyway.
I also had no idea that there are no lines, just a big mish-mash of grey space that you can't discern between being right and wrong. There's no black and white, just different actions you can take that lead to a different outcome.
I had no idea how not-independent I am.
I didn't know that different situations affect the extent to which the choices you make matter.
I also had no idea how freaking long my brother can pee for. He's been going for like half an hour.
Sorry for that mental picture.

Go High School Musical
I love this movie:
I'm having one of those 'oh' days. Where you feel a little bit detached and the only reaction to anything is 'oh'. Oh, I spilt coffee all over my shirt. Oh, I hung up on the head honcho of NAB. Oh, I forgot my lunch. Oh, I feel sad. Oh, it's already the 10th of December. Oh, dance. Oh, the newspapers and the water and the new biscuits. Oh, I cut my finger. Oh, I have a bruise.
Oh, I don't know.

Your rainbow is shaded green.
What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.

I'm kind of sad that my rainbow is so drab looking. At least it's green - I like green.
What an eventful week it has been. I'm overwhelmed! Perhaps in dot point form, I will share the important points:
* I completed my first full week of fulltime work. Insane I say. Insane! I researched carbon trading, filed like a maniac, opened letters like nobody's business and got my very own work email address. I'm a real office wench now!
* The Salty Celebration occurred - it was a fantastic night of fabulousness. The decorations were daggy, the costumes were daggier, the music was awesome, the people were cool and there was lots of food.
* I finished teaching the girls the all-time awesome dance, Bring It All Back. They're performing at Jump which is exciting, because it's going to be amazing. I love the look of super energy dancing, it takes the music to its full potential.
* I finished tutoring for the year! And I got a MASSIVE box bucket of M&Ms. It's awesome.
* CHRIS AND KLARA NOW HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME! It was such a beautiful wedding. I think they should do it again =P What an attractive married couple. Oh it was so beautiful! Everyone had pretty hair and pretty dresses and pretty shoes and pretty flowers and pretty photos and great food and pretty everything! (Hey Klara, if you read this, I had a little squeal party when i was tagging my photos on facebook and your name came up as Klara Donovan. Awesome)
* Real friends are the greatest things going.
Okay stuff everything else I was going to type. I just found the world's greatest blog.
Here is an example, it's not the best one but the shirt made me laugh:
Go here for more fun! The best part is the name: failblog.
here is an example: type how many children you have given birth to. again, a rough estimate is fine.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA, best entertainment of my life

En Francais?
I had my first French lesson with Flo tonight, and it was the best thing ever. I've discovered I'm much better at speaking French whilst driving in my car with noone listening than when there are people around and I have to talk about something. But it was so exciting! She's going to teach me how to speak about music and politics and other great things in another language so I can sound smart. It's quite depressing that, (oh modesty) I'm smart in English but in French I just sound like an idiot.
And so, to fill in the time before bedtime...
FACT: About the person you fell hardest for?
I'm too awesome to fall for someone.
WHAT: Happened at 9:00 am today ?

WHAT:Is the last thing someone bought you?
I don't know hey. Breakfast?
WHAT'S: Your current problem?
A serious lack of time and sleep. And therefore I'll probably get wrinkles early and then everyone will hate me because I'll look old and ugly and then I'll die.

I don't say anything, I just grind my teeth menacingly.
DO YOU: Delete people off of myspace?
No I rarely log on to myspace. Except to steal these things.

Hahaha I had an angry cry at life. Then I got over it. I can't believe I admitted that.
ARE YOU: Ticklish?
*sigh*
WHO WAS: The last person you talked to last night before bed?

Haha the last person I kissed was one of the French people on the cheek. I don't even remember their name so I sure don't tell them I love them!
How do you know the last person you were in a car with?
I was in a car with myself. And before that... I was in a car with my Uncle! I know him because he is my uncle.

What is your best friend's favorite food?
They all have different ones.
Who' s the funniest person you know?
Oh wow. I can't even pick.
Do you have your eye on anyone?
My eyes are on you.
Are you happy with your life at the moment?
Yeah, it's busy and exhausting, and ina lot of ways unrewarding, but at the same time it's exciting and different and hopefully things will keep changing.
What is something you disliked about your day?
The fact I sat around with nothing to do, I have no computer at work and the internet on the only free one was dead so noone gave me anything to do.

I had a weird sleep last night - it was like I was asleep and awake simultaneously it was so strange. So kind of but not really if you know what I mean.
When did you last talk to your number one?

I was thinking today about how odd the concept of manure is. I had to file all the manure receipts (so far there are two thousand of them for this year. Or two hundred. I forget) and I'm absolutely perplexed as to how that happened. Seriously. Who wants manure? Who thought 'hey, cows poo a lot, lets sell their poo as well as them!' Weird.
In other news, I bought an awesome $40 dress to wear out to exciting upcoming functions which are... well, coming up. And it is the weekend as of right now! Yay! There's a big girls night out tonight, but I'm way to knackered. So I'm staying home and having dinner with my deaf granddad who can't speak English well. It's a good tradeoff I think. You know what else is a good tradeoff? Chinese takeaway.
I should stop wasting precious (hmm...probs the wrong word) (I've started saying probs) (And maybs) (How embarrassing is that? Where do I get such a terrible vocabulary from? My stupid brain obviously. Whatev) ...what was I saying? Oh yeah, internet space, on such ridiculous ramblings.
Ce weekend, je vais aller a Rottnest, et a la pique nique pour le Moo. Aussi,aujord'hui j'ai achete un cadeau pour moi, pour mon frere et pour mon 'christmas cringle', dit Flo. Yay!

Noises.
I'm always worried I don't have a story. I love people, and I love talking, and I love telling stories. But no matter what, I'm still afraid that people iwll hate my stories and that I'm lame and boring and really just an invisible bland person with nothing to say. I still tell stories because it's more likely people will think that of me if I say nothing. But what if my stories are really bad???
Well, I have lots of stories for you friends. They're al terrible Emily stories, but they're still stories.
Salty Weekend was a real experience. But that's a story not for the internet.
Perhaps I'll tell you a story about office sounds. The sounds of our office are a bit like this:
RINGRINGRINGRINGRINGrunrunrun'WellardGroupReneeSpeaking' Emily can you open the mail Emily can you file this for me? Ringring ring ring*coffee machine whirrs really freaking loudly* ring ring ring Run this down to livestock Print me five labels and eight envelopes and photocopy this six times Ring ring ring ring run this down to livestock can you get this delivered to Perth in the next five minutes it's really important Emily I have more filing for you Emily are you busy can you go get the mail Ring ring ring ring ring Renee where's my coffee ring ring ring *printer and computer breaks down* Renee you bound these in the wrong order we hate you ring ring ring ring ring *office gossip oh no way she did not he did not oh drama drama office gossip whisper whisper* ring ring ring ring ring ring RENEE YOU LEFT THE CORDLESS IN MY OFFICE Emily I have more filing?
The end. There's more but I forget them. Lots of them include really heavy footsteps that the men have. Men walk really loudly I have noticed.
These are the sounds of Moo:
Can I have a mini moo no a maxi moo umm maybe i'll get a small is that a small tub? oh yeah the takeaway oh no the cup thing yeah can i get a spoon? i can try mango? And passionfruit? And cherry? And Mixed Berry? Oh look I'll take a mini of the cappuccino do you want the thirty cents? yeah sure if you have it Oh so is this yoghurt? yes it is yoghurt does it have milk in it? no it's milkfree ARE YOU STUPID OF COURSE IT HAS MILK IN IT *whooooosh* as the till opens yoghurt squelches on the floor wash dishes AHH THE WATER JUST BURNT AWAY ALL OF MY SKIN crash when Emily drops all the spoons on the floor Ah well more bacteria won't hurt them Excuse me can I have some honeycombe with my frozen yoghurt? Can I have more berries/ Add some extra crunch please, less yoghurt.
Customers are so smart. I'm in awe of their awesome minds.
Here is something I learnt today. There are too many people to try keep happy, but I keep trying to keep them all happy anyway! Emily is a fool.
I miss social interaction.

Thursdays after four o'clock
Yes, I know today is Wednesday. But I was contemplating tomorrow. I have always felt a bit weird about Thursdays. They try to make it sound good, by including things like late night shopping, and tomorrow is Friday, the start of the weekend! But really, Thursdays are a bit of a crap day.
At school, they meant double politics and double chemistry. At uni, they've meant the day from tutorial hell. At work they mean you have to deal with grumpy customers and stupid school kids who want tastings. Tomorrow, it means two exams.
TWO EXAMS! But then, the positive thing is, after 4:10 - no more exams! I will be finished! I can do fun things like pack for Salty weekend, and sleep without dislocating my jaw. I can throw away all my full notebooks with notes from this semester, and put all my books in my cupboard and never look at them again! I love Thursday after four o'clock.

I have so much i want to say that I can't even articulate it. So I'm doing a stupid quiz instead.
Think of the person you'd like to be with the most right now, when did you last talk to them?
I'd like to be with any person right now. Studying all day is lonely business. And I haven't had verbal contact with anyone since yesterday. Lame!
When's the last time you did something you knew was wrong?
Um... right now? It's wrong for me to be wasting time when I have two exams on Thursday? Whatev!
Last three texts in your phone are from:
Kat, Stefan, Mum.
What are you doing right now?
Uh, this thing! And trying to find some good songs for dance next year, and I've not done too badly! I refuse to choreograph contemporary, which limits things, but it's surprising what's out there.
You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of your life, what is it?
Coffee. Macchiatos to be precise.
Is there something that reminds you of someone every time you see / hear it?
Lots of songs I hear remind me of certain people/times.
Do you trust all of your friends?
Nah, I don't tell lots of people stuff. It's not that I dont think they could be trustworthy, but no point tempting fate!
Do you think you can last in a relationship for three months?
Hahah I suppose. Three months! What a lifetime! =P
Have you ever had a best friend who was of the opposite sex?
Sure do! Changes your perspective in some ways.
Have you ever been nice to someone who treated you like crap?
Of course, it's a lot of effort if you both treat each other like crap.
Are you anything like you were at this point last year?
In some ways, changed a lot in others.
Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn't?
Yeah I have. But you know, everything goes through phases and things seem to end up how they should be. I'll be in touch with them soon =D
Do you judge people you don't know?
Hahah I'm so bad with this one. You're not really supposed to. But like... it's pretty hard not to help it. For example, if I am in Freo late at night, I usually label a lot of people 'skanks'. Or 'manwhores'. Or if I see an old couple at the shops, I think 'aw lovely'. Who knows, they could've been drug dealers when they were younger.
When was the last time you felt like your heart was actually breaking?
I don't go in for mega emotion. Nah just kidding =D Um, I don't know. I actually don't think I've felt that one to be honest. Thank goodness for that!
What is one thing you feel that you NEED in life?
Thumbs.
In the past week have you cried?
I had a teary moment =P I'm in the middle of exam stress, that's my excuse! Everything gets on your nerves at this time. My poor family.
Dark hair or light hair on the opposite sex?
Doesn't bother me really, as long as it's not like, purple or something.
Who are your favorite people to talk to when you’re down?

Whats the last thing in your house you broke?
The microwave. I fixed it but! Oh and the shower. That's such a pain.

Doing anything tonight?
French/Linguistics study, sleep. Coloured pens.
Ever been so anxious or overwhelmed that it felt like you couldn't breathe?
Hm... not really. My stress manifests itself through clenched teeth. I end up with my teeth practically welded together, it's pretty lame. Makes it way more difficult to eat.
What do you think it would be like if you had a twin?
It'd be awesome =D We need more rangas in the world, I hear we're a dying breed =[
Do you know anyone else's password to their xanga, email, myspace, etc?
No. Why would I need to know that?
Do you have a box where you keep all your really important things, like notes?

Are you frustrated with a female?
Sure.
Are you frustrated with a male?
Sure.
Honestly, do you like anyone?
Honestly, I like everyone.
Last night you felt?
Exhausted.
Do you like to text?
Why not, it's fun to send out weird messags to people. Keeps me occupied whilst at work.
Do you like to talk on the phone?
ahhhhhh depends on who to, it can make me feel really awkward but. I hate thinking other people are listening.
What was the last drink you had?
Milo.
When was the last time you were truly, completely happy with your life?
Last week.
Have you read a whole book in a day?
Sure thing - yay Harry Potter.
How old will you turn in 2009?
19. Weird! I keep thinking I'm still fifteen.
When was the last time you talked to number 1 on your top friends?
Sunday.
What were you doing at 4am this morning?
Sleeping with the happy thought of no more looming politics exams.
Whats your relationship with the person you last texted?
She's my faux big sister.
What did you do today?
Studied. Ate. Studied. Read. Studied. Did internet things.
Where are your siblings?
He's at school. Probably farting.
When is the last time you really cried?
Oh aaaages ago.
Did the one person who hurt you the most in your life apologize?
Don't know who that'd be!
Do you still talk to the person you fell hardest/fastest for?
Yar.

Um... my other bed.
What were your first thoughts this morning?
AHHHHHHHHHHH.

Unfortunately yes, but I'm working on it.

NEVER
Is your phone close to you?
Next to me. I'm hoping for distractions.
Are you keeping a secret from someone who needs to know the truth?
Yeah, but like. Boring.
Have you ever hated someone and ended up being friends with them?
Haha I don't tend to hate people, but people change and you end up being friends with people you wouldn't think you would be.
What is the last thing you spent money on?
Dance lesson.
Do you get along with girls?
Yes yes of course.
Think of the person you'd like to be with the most right now, when did you last talk to them?
I'd like to be with any person right now. Studying all day is lonely business. And I haven't had verbal contact with anyone since yesterday. Lame!
When's the last time you did something you knew was wrong?
Um... right now? It's wrong for me to be wasting time when I have two exams on Thursday? Whatev!
Last three texts in your phone are from:
Kat, Stefan, Mum.
What are you doing right now?
Uh, this thing! And trying to find some good songs for dance next year, and I've not done too badly! I refuse to choreograph contemporary, which limits things, but it's surprising what's out there.
You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of your life, what is it?
Coffee. Macchiatos to be precise.
Is there something that reminds you of someone every time you see / hear it?
Lots of songs I hear remind me of certain people/times.
Do you trust all of your friends?
Nah, I don't tell lots of people stuff. It's not that I dont think they could be trustworthy, but no point tempting fate!
Do you think you can last in a relationship for three months?
Hahah I suppose. Three months! What a lifetime! =P
Have you ever had a best friend who was of the opposite sex?
Sure do! Changes your perspective in some ways.

Of course, it's a lot of effort if you both treat each other like crap.
Are you anything like you were at this point last year?
In some ways, changed a lot in others.
Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn't?
Yeah I have. But you know, everything goes through phases and things seem to end up how they should be. I'll be in touch with them soon =D
Do you judge people you don't know?
Hahah I'm so bad with this one. You're not really supposed to. But like... it's pretty hard not to help it. For example, if I am in Freo late at night, I usually label a lot of people 'skanks'. Or 'manwhores'. Or if I see an old couple at the shops, I think 'aw lovely'. Who knows, they could've been drug dealers when they were younger.
When was the last time you felt like your heart was actually breaking?
I don't go in for mega emotion. Nah just kidding =D Um, I don't know. I actually don't think I've felt that one to be honest. Thank goodness for that!
What is one thing you feel that you NEED in life?
Thumbs.
In the past week have you cried?
I had a teary moment =P I'm in the middle of exam stress, that's my excuse! Everything gets on your nerves at this time. My poor family.
Dark hair or light hair on the opposite sex?
Doesn't bother me really, as long as it's not like, purple or something.
Who are your favorite people to talk to when you’re down?
I dunno! there's a few people out there who clear things up for me.

How To Procrastinate:
Step 1. Have a fabulous book that is completely unrelated to what you should be studying. I, for example, am reading Harry Potter (the entire series for perhaps the one hundredth time), and I have heard the Twilight series to be just as effective. Hot vampires are a fabulous distraction. Read it when you should be studying. Read it when you should be sleeping. Then sleep when you should be studying.
Step 2. Fix notes instead of reading them. This is a highly effective method, as it makes you feel like you're being productive, but really you're just doing some copy and paste, a bit of rearranging, some fixing of typos and really just wasting time. Don't forget to change font colour, add some margins and borders and maybe try out some different word-art titles.
Step 3. Watch movies. Movies are fabulous as a 'reward' for studying. Also as a timer - I will start studying when this movie finishes. When it does, put another movie in. You meant the movie after the first movie anyway.
Step 4. Socialize. Make sure on the weekend before your exam, you have plenty of plans. Like going out for lunch. And dinner. And a drive. Every night.
Step 5. Have the internet, with Facebook, Myspace, MSN and a blog. All open at the same time. You're on the computer! It has to be productive!
Step 6. Write To-Do lists. Add things you've already done and cross them off. Make sure you write 'Write a to-do list' as number one on your list. Once you've done task one, you can take a break. Handy.
Step 7. Think of the other insignificant projects you are meant to have done. Like cleaning out your old notes. Or reordering your jewelry. Taking some photos. Painting your toenails. Oh, and finding that old note you wrote to remind you about something that you forgot. That's way more important than study.
Step 8. Write a blog post on how to procrastinate. At 11:30pm at night, when you were going to go to bed early to get up early to study the next morning. Yup. Fail.

I Love:
* Kikki-K being in Perth
* Stain free deodorant
* Not studying for politics
* Reading Harry Potter for the millionth time
* Procrastinating
* Writing stupid blog posts
* Taking photos
* Decorating my room
* Making huge plans for the summer that I know I won't see through
* New diaries
* Tea
* Being healthy and distracted
* Knowing it is less than a week till a study-free lifestyle for a few months
* Getting a cardigan thing for only five cents - hooray bargains
* Brushing my teeth
* Planning things to buy
* Plans in general
* Avoiding plans
* Mario Kart
And... now I really need to learn about bipolar v multipolar systems or I'll die.

Poetry
The thing I miss most about school is being forced to read outside my comfort zone.
I know a lot of people are big on reading 'Christian books', which I do think is important. However, I find them often limited, repetitive, not entirely well-written and either trying too hard to be cool and awesome, or completely inaccessible. Of course I haven't read every 'Christian book', and there are, as always, a few exceptions. But there are just so many amazing texts out there that when you're at uni, you miss out on hearing about unless you're doing English.
My favourite text we studied was T.S. Eliot's poetry. It was just beautiful in a really scary kind of way.
From The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all:—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?
...
And would it have been worth it, after all,
Would it have been worth while,
After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor—
And this, and so much more?—
And from Preludes:
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o'clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
How beautiful is that? I lost my Eliot anthology, which is a bit of a shame because I wanted to read some of his post-conversion poetry. Anyway, it just reminds me constantly to stop being lame and filling my head with crap. Of course, Harry Potter doesn't count as crap.

emily is being lame today
Sometimes life just does things you don't expect it to, and even weirder, sometimes you do things you didn't expect to.
Perhaps an example would work here; whilst I stuff up many things, and make more mistakes than is humanly possible to comprehend, I don't screw up exams. I don't screw up my timing, I get everything down, I feel confident with how I do, no matter what I say, and I never doubt my ability to do well in an exam situation. But today, everything felt off. I hadn't fully prepared, I was a bit iffy on a few areas of law, I was nervous, overtired and a little down. And I went in, screwed up the timing, spent forty five minutes on a ten mark question and left myself thirty minutes for a twenty five mark question. I could not comprehend how that happens. I never get my timing off in an exam. I never have to rush through questions. I ended up doing something I didn't expect to, and as I result I'm overly confused.
This weekend has been full of these strange experiences where I don't understand what has happened, and completely didn't expect any of it. I've felt all these emotions that don't regularly crop up in my life, and if they do, I am good at putting them aside and pushing through. Things like anxiety and sadness, stress and confusion, uncertainty and loss. I feel like an emo kid, those people who are always sad about something, and that frustrates me more cos I can't stand that type of life. But this will pass of course.
There are a few things that are beyond me; how to deal with certain things, how to not expect much but give lots, how to expect a lot but appreciate when it doesn't turn out, how to stay focussed and not burn out, how to know for certain something is right. These are just some examples, I could say so much more. I wish I knew how to say the right thing, or be the strong person who could understand and lift people up from how they're feeling and what they're doing. Maybe one day it will all come to me, I always hope that as I get older I'll get wiser and more able to understand and be compassionate. Hopefully it's coming, cos I'm not doing too well on that front right now.
I have learnt some things though; be patient. Don't be upset if you fail, keep trying. Keep rational thoughts close at hand. Keep people you love close at hand. Do your all to make sure they're happy. Do what you say you will do. Be willing to change and adapt, and not be the best. And most of all, love properly, because otherwise there is nothing left.

life is exciting!
My posts are always the same, but I don't care - life is usually exciting!
Reasons why (this time):
1. It's Friday. Friday has so much potential for great days ahead!
2. Obama is the new President! I still want to type 'our' new President, but unfortunately no - however he did mention us in his speech, the forgotten corners of the earth. What a great man.
3. Kat and Andrew are engaged! In case you've been living under a rock.
4. Two weeks and exams are over!
5. Ali's house is nearly finished - I'll miss having a friend to play Boggle with at 11 at night, but it'll be nice to see new floors in their house.
6. Work doesn't suck so bad!
7. Plans to do things and go places are coming to fruition.... or getting to the stage where I can make them come to fruition!
8. There is a new Dome in Fremantle and I love it.
9. I've nearly finished choreographing the younger girls' dance, which is awesome if I do say so myself. Shame we don't have enough time to teach it all. Oh well!
10. Day Light Saving is awesome.

a good weekend
* Day One of work was very successful! I met new people, found out that filing just involves putting most things under 'W' and discovered that Friday is 'free dress day' so there was no need to invest in my lovely new office clothes. Oh well.
* Boggle Time at night involved some hardkore action against Mum and Ali. I am proud to say I have not lost my touch, and was the overall winner! That was exciting. It was also nice to have a non-stressful night at home, of chocolate and good word games.
* Productive Saturday meant I finished my assignments(!!), went for a bike ride, finished Harry Potter, relaxed and saw Burn After Reading. Can't say it was my favourite movie, it was quite (incredibly) weird. I'll tell you about it. It meant nothing. There was a gym, some love stories, a bit of internet dating, lots of killing, a spastic weirdo who was writing his memoirs, lots of infidelity and the CIA. Brad Pitt was the highlight, and not just because he is very nice to look at, but his character made me want to give him a big hug.
* Infants! I have started helping mum with the infants as of this morning, and they are SO CUTE! I wanted to hug them all, Zara has the most beautiful disposition, Eve is the most curious baby I've ever seen and Leah had MASSIVE EYES. It was enjoyable playing with them too. I forgot how much fun piles of colourful toys can be.
* Dance Rehearsal Our Concert (!) is on Saturday, so we have been rehearsing hard. Our dance is finished and very nice, it even makes me feel a little worn out. I always like that. It means it's a real dance.
* Moo Picnic I also made some French friends today! It was a Moo picnic, and I actually knew Flo, Karaine and Nicole. Then Karaine left, and Nicole and her boyfriend went for a walk. So I decided to make friends with the French people. They were very lovely, and I could understand some of what they said. They tried to teach me this weird stick game, but I sucked, so we played dodgeball instead. It was lovely.
* Bad times Tutoring seemed to screw up my weekend for reasons I won't go into. I just hate pointless, hour-long round trips and people who aren't cooperative.
* MP3 Michelle brought us strawberries! Laura got time off!
* Church Yeah. It was churchy.
The end =]

work clothes
I begin my new job as ultimate office wench on Friday, and it is all very exciting. No yoghurt, boring office jobs, coffee runs, being paid again...
And then I realized, I'm going to need work clothes.
Like, monochrome, boring, tailored, nice-shoes work clothes.
I now have a few dilemmas. Am I allowed to wear colour? How much colour? Is bright green going a bit too far? Do my shoes have to have heels on them? Am I allowed a ponytail? Do I need to wear that bright red office lipstick????? What actually differentiates between work clothes and normal clothes and going out clothes?
It was very easy whilst working in a Yoghurt Shop. Massive red shirt with 'Moo' and a cow on it = work clothes. Definitely not normal clothes, or going out clothes. And gross old sneakers with berry stains and yoghurt blotches were definitely work shoes, and not normal shoes or going out shoes. (Although I do wear them out occasionally, but that's our secret). Office wench jobs aren't so clearcut. I get the feeling a big red shirt with moo and a cow don't really work as office wench clothes. Nor does a red visor with Moo. Might be a bit of an overkill.
Oh well. It is an adventure. Maybe I'll be rebellious and wear hooker heels.

Tuesdays off
I have Tuesdays off uni, work and life in general. It is fantastic.
Today I slept in, went to the gym, read Harry Potter #3 (for maybe the eighteenth time), went to the beach, played a bit of Mario Kart and (wait for it) made dinner!
Although it does get a bit boring being at home. There were projects I could've done, like Linguistics assignments, criminal law notes, politics readings or French study... but I think they're overrated.
I'm thinking of picking up Psychology next year... anyone have any ideas? I'm a bit apprehensive; like I really want to do it, but I have no real idea of what it would entail.
Ali and I have been discussing opening an Etsy store, just so we have an excuse to be creative over the holidays. That will be fun =]
I love the beach.
MANGOS ARE BACK! Life has meaning and beauty again!
Anyway... procrastination over, it's time to go and do my assignments. *has a cry*

microcosms of life
It's really easy to have high expectations of people, and assume they're always going to be awesome and amazing, when really, that's impossible. Or you'll start something new, thinking everyone will be different to what you're used to, or something. But EVERYWHERE YOU GO, people are the same! I think that's really fascinating.
This popped into my head last night when I was at my (new and super cheap!) dance class. It's really easy to think that by doing a class such as dance, where all you really do is follow the teacher and get fit and have fun, you wouldn't encounter the typical cross-section of people. Especially when, as it's an 'adult class', most of the women are in their late thirties/early forties, and you're eighteen. BUT I WAS WRONG!
There were two guys; one was very decidedly gay (surprise surprise in a modern/tap class, I know), and one was tall, a bit gangly, had red hair and was marginally uncoordinated. There were no cooley guys, but that is most definitely NOT to be expected in a dance class. So I felt a little bit safer. Moving on, there were the majority of people who were there to learn to dance and be fit and healthy and follow the teacher (normal right? most people choose to just blend in, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing as long as you're confident in who you are). Then, there was the dance class equivalent of the 'cool group'. Ironic cos they were about thirty five. You'd think by then cool groups don't exist. But I have learnt that in fact, cool groups will never not exist! Maybe when you're eighty? Oh well, that's a while away. Moving along. There was the 'cool group', and they were the ones who thought they were the best, and stood up the front, and laughed with the teacher, and bossed everyone around. I got told what group to go in, how to do something and where to stand, and they don't even know my name. It made me giggle.
THEN, there was the loud jokey person, who isn't very good at what they're doing, but try hard and make jokes from the back, where they can't be seen, and people like them because a) they try their best and b) everyone's better than them. Then, there was an old lady (who was just adorable, she's seventy) who is absolutely terrible but tries really hard, and even so doesn't really care, just makes lots of noise with her shoes and pretends she's doing it right. And then there was the young crowd that are like 'I too awesome for the cool group, I am different and alternative, just like the rest of my friends'.
And then there was me! The observer.
Anyway, there was only twenty people or so there, so I couldn't cover ever group, like the nerdy people (no one is nerdy and does dance class, they don't mesh well), or I don't know... people who like Star Wars. Or Star Trek. which one is the cult one? Or are they both cult ones?
Hmm. Curious.
Anyway, that was not about anything important, but I've noticed it more and more in uni/church/dance/etc... strange strange.
And to leave on something I've been thinking about since Carl Barron mentioned it on Good News Week last night, 'Who decides at a chicken farm if a chicken is going to be chicken salt or just a regular chicken?'

whatever
I like big and exciting plans for the future. I like thinking of potential things to do, places to go, people to meet. But I also like to keep things in perspective.
This summer I have many crazy plans; I want to play the saxophone, I want to make things, work lots, save lots, plan a holiday to Europe, go to the gym all the time, spend hours at the beach and enjoy being home. I want to go places, meet new people and work out my uni course. I don't want to be pressured to change those things unless they need to. I am a flexible person, and I love my friends more than anything, but they don't get to change the carefully laid plans I have for my holidays and the foreseeable future, unless a) there's a good reason, and b) there is time and space to move. I love spontaneity as much as the next person, but when it expands to become a million different activities and ideas that are impossible to afford, organize and properly participate in, it just gets frustrating. And when it means that you become the bad guy for saying no, that is even lamer.
That's my whinge for now.
On a completely unrelated topic, today I walked ten k. It was long, and painful for my back and knees. But it was highly exhilarating. And the beach is the answer to all your problems! Everything is simplified at the beach. AMEN!

Boggle and other boggling things
When you hear deep quotes like 'find some light and shade in your voice', you know the world is going to crap.
Well, not really. I'm sure that's really deep if you sing or something, and the world isn't really going to crap. It's just getting crazier and crazier out there.
The stock market has chucked a big sad, and some people have lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the stock market is something I've never quite wrapped my head around. I do understand the process, and the buying and selling of course (I pride myself on understanding fundamentals...kind of), however, it's the whole concept. Like - that value isn't a real value per se. It's just what everyone thinks is the value. And then they think it'll be less, so it becomes less. But what if it isn't actually less? People thought it is, so it becomes that way, regardless of whether it is or not.
That, my friends, is messed up. Weird that it makes the world go round, and makes the world stop when it suddenly doesn't work. Weird weird weird.
My brother has returned home, which makes me very happy. He is a cool cat, and he made us nachos for dinner tonight. They were very commendable nachos too.
He's currently telling me that he is the next Einstein, because he had a dream about the three laws of something that he looked at for fifteen years, then he realized he could invent a ball with rings around it, then made it spin, and then the wire coming out of the ball, causing electricity to come. I think I should patent this idea so if he does create it, then I can get the money for it. Is that how patents work? I think so. Anyway, he is eating his nachos again, so I'll move on with what else I was saying. Weird boy.
I've been thinking a lot about what defines a person lately too. The thing is, I think what I tell people defines myself a lot better than my actions do, despite, as Relient K so musically puts it, that 'actions speak louder than words.' I'm pretty sure they didn't say it first, but that song popped into my head just now so I threw it in so i could be cool and refer to bands like all the cool kids do.
ANYWAY.
I've found I can create a world for myself that I show other people, and tell other people about, and that defines me to them. And then, I can construct a different world for other people, and that becomes my definition to them. Isn't that weird? But no matter what, they don't know what's going on at the centre of my actual world. So what is it that defines me after all that? I'm kind of talking hypothetically here, although I do carry this out in some form. Am I the smart person who does well in French, the nice person that picks up someone's dropped bag/key/money, the rude person that pushes someone out of the way on the train because there is so much room behind them that they're hogging.... you know? It perplexes me.
Anyway, enough with all this serious stuff... I could go on forever, but I don't think my ramblings are particularly interesting. Much more interesting is my red-bag purchase today, at a nice $15 =D And the potential Boggle-playing in the near future! I LOVE Boggle!

It's always escaped me why people would think at all about me. But if they do, I suppose they'll be thinking bad things.

therapeutic things to do
* Clean out your wallet. I am the worst person for keeping every single thing that comes my way - from concert tickets to (eight million) ATM receipts. My wallet was SO FAT, to the point where I couldn't even find the money in it. In fact, I had more slips of paper than I had the value of money. So, I cleaned it out. It felt so lovely!
* Put all the crap that accumulates on your floor away. I don't know about anyone else, but I have this thing where if I get asked to put something away, or need to put something away, I take it to the respective room, and leave it on the floor. I swear it's a mental disease. But I tripped over about eight different things in order to get to my desk today, so I decided it was time to give it a makeover. I even found clean patches of carpet!
* Reading! I have read so many things in the past few days. Some have been fabulous, such as The Girl In Times Square by Paullina Simons, some not so much, such as Twilight by Stephanie Meyers (DON'T READ IT! SAVE YOURSELF!) It makes me happy. I love immersing myself in someone else's life.
* Take photos. This Flickr project has been so much fun looking for little things to capture in daily life.
* Apprends le Francais. Tous le jours, je trouve la plus choses fantastiques dans la langue, et je le parle quelquefois. Aussi, je peux lire le signs que je trouve here and there. Yay for franglais!
* Handing in assignments. I love the feeling of dropping something into the assignment box, and knowing it is all over!
* Drinking water and tea. I don't know what it is about these two liquids, but it feels so wonderful to have a glass/cup of them!
* Painting your toenails. Totally frivolous, but totally therapeutic at the same time.
* Finding fabulous new shoes to buy. Best feeling in the world.
* Moisturising. What more can I say?

If you like to laugh at the ridiculous nature of some High Court matters (which I'm sure you all do... well... fine maybe it's just me), go here.
People I tell you!
This weather is totally freaking me out. I can't take it anymore!
My cousin, Xavier is here. And he's also freaking me out. He is playing Mario Kart on Wii with my brother, but insists on being Princess Peach. With the car with wings. Because it's pink and looks like a fairy. Just to clarify, he is four and decidedly a boy. I'm concerned.

weekends and new weeks
This weekend was full of non-productivity. Adventures, but non-productivity.
The 'high light' of this non-productive weekend was my visit to the power station.
Yep, my dad is the station manager of the power station in Kwinana.
Which is way more impressive than it sounds. But, he wanted to show us where he worked, and mum really really wanted to see it. And then my grandparents came too. And they wanted to bring a friend, so George and Dorothy, their neighbours, came as well.
Here are the people who visited Verve: (plus my parents)
Why? I don't know.
In any case, since we had to wear earplugs, I couldn't hear half of the information dad was telling us. But I was impressed by his office. I wrote 'I love unions' on his board. But I thought that might get him in trouble, so I took it off.
My favourite part of the whole day was this crazy machine.
(HA! Get it?? Yeah?? Lame hey.)
And you can even get colourful earplugs.
(I didn't realize you needed to make fashion statements in coal-burning stations. And there's definitely no gay pride issues. Weird hey.)
My brother and I were just so impressed with the whole adventure.
And it was basically Lindsay's favourite day of her entire life.
But other than our adventure to the power station, there were other great events! I went to the beach with Michelle, which was fantastic. I love the waves. And cold water. And running on the beach. Brodie and I also had this amazingly amazing looking cake.
It makes me hungry again just looking at it. And I just had two breakfasts.
And this is my new favourite drink, my Fruit Tingle!
The end. *satisfied face*

Job interviews
I just had the best job interview of my life. I've been needing a bit of a change of pace from the yoghurt experience for a while, and so applied to pretty much every store in Garden City and online. And I had NO LUCK. Which was lame. BUT! Today, I got a call from K-Mart, and they were pretty much desperate for me to be a check out chick. And I was like 'Hmm... kind of lame and boring, but hey! No mopping, or sticky yoghurt on my fingers!' So I agreed to go to an interview this Saturday. The more I thought about it, the more I thought, 'Hey, K-mart is awesome to shop at, but probably lame to stand and scan all day every day.' Just a bit anyway. So I pondered a bit more, and thought 'Hmm... no.' But thought I'd go to the interview anyway, because, hey, it'd only be three months.
BUT THEN! A revelation occurred!
Mum was busy telling me about the good looking guy called Stefan (not Stefan Stefan, just a Stefan... he works with my Uncle Steve), who drove her home from dropping off the fancy fancy Land Rover we've been borrowing. And she said he did work experience with my uncle, then just stayed and now he works there.
THEN IT HIT ME! I COULD WORK WITH MY UNCLE!
Pros of working with my uncle:
1. In Fremantle.
2. Office job - i.e. NO FOOD OR SURFACES TO CLEAN FROM STICKY SUBSTANCES.
3. Christmas parties. Yup. I already got an invite. Too easy right?
4. Job interview over text messaging.
5. Whatever hours I want, anytime.
6. Nice coffee machine.
7. In Fremantle. That point is so fabulous. IT'S NOT A SHOPPING CENTRE!
Cons of working with my uncle:
1. Second summer holidays in a row I'll be working for a family member. Although absolutely nothing could be as disastrous and upsetting as working in that cement cave in Southlands. SOUTHLANDS!
So, aside from that, I had my favourite law lecture of all semester. We had the Chief Magistrate, two prosecutors and a defence lawyer come along and talk to us about the court system. It was awesome. Seriously. It was also quite wet, and I spent my day walking through uni with squelchy socks. Ah well, it was an adventure. And that was my day.
Well, it was a bit more substantial than that.
Je pense que je vais lire en francais pour le fois ensuite.

A Ponder.
I was having a bit of a ponder today on Richard Roy's sermon from last night. In particular, how he was talking about being clear of knowing Jesus.
I'm kind of lost there. I feel like I get mixed up with that differentiation - like between knowing God and knowing Jesus. And how do you know who you know?!
Weird!
Other than that, I applied for more jobs, bought Smiggle excitingness, started Romans, caught up with the ultimate Kat, adventured, Reid Cafe'd, saw Christian Porter! and bummed around.
Fun times =]

Yesterday's Adventures
So, instead of researching the intricacies of Iraq's foreign policy like I should be, I've decided to photographically demonstrate to you the events of my Thursday.
Firstly, I needed to buy hair mousse. I've never known much about the whole hair products thing, so I thought my safest bet would be to venture to Priceline and hope there was a big shelf with 'Mousse' written on it. There wasn't unfortunately, but I finally bought this because it said it would hold your hair in place:
Then, I realized a few of the other offputting connotations that came with that...
I also purchased some more exciting 50c beads!
Ali my ranga friend came over and we did some jewelry creating. Here are the bracelets I made, although this photo doesn't lend itself to them looking very bracelet-y:
We then went on an adventure to Garden City.

Hot sunglasses.
.jpg)
Interesting Hats.
I then departed to go to tutoring. After that, Brodie and I ventured to the beach.
.jpg)
It was rather windswept.
I took no more photos after that, because, well, I got over it. But then we went to Leederville and were merry.
Except I lost Trouble AND connect4. So i wasn't so merry.

Today's Disaster
I had FINALLY finished work and was happily walking out of Garden City, armed with my new packets of wooden beads for 50c, my new Temt tops, free doughnuts from Donut King and yoghurt. I could finally see my little car parked five hundred million miles away from Garden City and was contemplating all the things I was going to do once home, when MY PLASTIC BAG HOLDING MY YOGHURT SPLIT!
So all over the road in the carpark in the far corner of Garden City is lumps of yoghurt.
Lessons I learnt:
1. Don't unevenly distribute the weight of your yoghurt in a flimsy plastic bag
2. Moo plastic bags are flimsy
3. Plastic containers holding yoghurt are quite unresistant to breaking when dropped from a not-so-great height
4. Yoghurt does not belong on roads.
And that is the end of my daily disaster.

study week!!!
Today officially marks the best week of my life, study week!
To celebrate, I applied for two new jobs, did some small annoying errands that I'd been putting off, cleaned up my room, washed my hair, painted my toenails and slept in.
It was wonderful!
I would also like to express my complete and utter excitement at the fact Christian Porter is now definitely our new attorney general =] Hooray!!

new finds!
I enjoy a bit of this blog. Crummy Church Signs, my favourite!
And also, this blog. Punctuation errors drive me up the wall. It is depressing how many people don't understand basic grammar.
In other news, I had dinner at Chutney Mary's tonight; it was so tasty good! Not quite spicy enough, but never mind. We had Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken, and the best name ever: Dum Aloo. Hooray!

new weeks
I love new weeks! As much as anything lame might have happened before, it's all okay because, it's a new week!
I have many a wonderful thing to look forward to as well:
Study break is only in two weeks! Finally! I will be free to relax and catch up on all the work I need to without getting behind on the current work. I have made a list board with all the lists of things I need to do. As much as it's depressing, it's kind of good to see it all on manageable pieces of A5 paper that I just need to do and cross off!
It's the election this weekend! Fantastic =D I'm working at Mt. Lawley and get to count votes and, the most exciting part, cast my first ever vote. Hooray! And at MP3 on Sunday I got to teach Laura and Michelle about how voting works. I don't think they actually cared. But no matter, it is all very exciting. And even better, it will hopefully be the end of the big crap campaign of them telling us how crap the other party is.
We are going to Southbound! Well, hopefully. But I will be in Perth and we shall go and be merry and watch lots of excellent bands!
In Easter next year we're going to Phuket. I love holidays =D Even better, I'm hopefully going to go to Europe as well in the middle of the year, so it'll be a mega year of travelling and fun countries!!!!!
I'm catching up with my school friends on Friday night. We're going to eat spicy Chutney Mary's and discuss life. It will be lovely.
365 is still so exciting. I love thinking of what fun photos I'm going to take each day.
I went to the gym today, and when I was stretching after, one of the men who I see there all the time told me I worked really hard and well done. That made me smile =]
I've bought buttons!!! Lots of pretty ones! I'm trying to decide what I'll make with them, I have a few fun ideas. I'll see what happens though.
I have this burning desire to knit a blanket. Don't know why. But I'll have to invest in some wool and some knitting needles and some good old nanna time.
