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!

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.

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.
.jpg)
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.
