Exciting things in Emily's life right now

* TEE. 99.75 and very stoked
* New shoes. Even though they've made my feet bleed

* Movies. In general - they are always the best fun

December One

Last night was Speech Night, so it's official - we are finally the graduated class of 2007. It was quite lovely, because of my prize I got a book called Women Who Write by someone whose last name is Prose, which made me laugh a bit. Yup, I'm a Lit nerd at heart. And it was so nice seeing all the teachers one last time. I like being graduated.

I'm currently totally hating my job.

Leavers = big thumbs up

Denmark on Monday is even more big thumbs up

I'm feeling a bit ill from too much caffeine

My toe has stopped bleeding

And tonight I watch HighSchoolMusical2.

I'll do a more interesting photoerized post later when I get even more bored and disillusioned with my job, but for now, that is all.

Wake up. I find it an effective way to make it through the day.

What brand is your printer?
Who cares, it doesn't work anyway.

Do you enjoy fighting with people?

Straighter than if you tried to straighten it.

Who was your kindergarten teacher?
I don't remember their names! But i can still picture their faces.

I get passively angry easily.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
Long showers. Sprinklers in summer. Kevin Rudd.

Are you cold?
Nope. I love summer =]

Sure do. But I'm friends with those people through their kids, so that's a bit of a confusing one.

Do you know anyone that is pregnant right now?
Sure do. Hmm..

Who should pay on the first date?
It depends on what sort of 'first date'. In some cases, you should split. In a lot of cases you should split.

Not mean to me.

Quite not tall.

What is the closest green object?
Nail polish!

Do you want to have kids?
Absolutely.

What is the brightest color you're wearing?
right now? My nailpolish - green, yellow, pink and orange.

Who is the friend you have that you would never have expected to have?
I reckon the group of girls from school right now. I love them all to bits, but when I first went there I never would have thought we'd be close. Same with a few others, I think.

Who do you hate the most right now?
I don't hate. I don't like Kevin Rudd though. Or Maxine McKew.

Do you know where your family name originated from?
Sri Lanka (yup me with my white white skin has a Sri Lankan background), Holland and some one migrated to Australia a gazillion years ago, so I'm guessing if you go back far enough England, but that's a bit weird.

Birds. Ew. And snakes. And mice. Most bugs. And that's all for now.

Valedictory Dinner

I have to say, Valedictory was pretty nice. I mean, it's fairly typical that St. Hilda's would put a St. Hilda's logo thing on our pearl necklaces, but I have to say owning a pearl necklace makes me feel rather special and part of that whole 'extended network' thing the school has going on. And I like the thought we've finally and officially graduated.

it has happened...

I've become addicted to reality magazines.
Take 5 and That's Life are now my new friends.
I truly believe that you will meet your soulmate through random accidents like turning on your phone and their number appearing on your screen, or while running from a rapist murderer into the arms of a police officer who will both save you from the rapist, fix your car and marry you in the space of half an hour.
Or the spirit of your dead nanna's cat will come back and help you through a particularly painful labour.
Or, and this is a real cracker, you will get cancer, lose both your legs, have a baby and your house will burn down, but you will find your true love from when you were ten and finally live happily ever after, after discovering the reason you had to break up was because your parents were hiding the fact you were secretly adopted.

It's true guys. Really. And therein lies my addiction to these magazines. I am so hooked it's dangerous.

grandparents are awesome



This here is me and my pop. I've been typing up Pop's reminiscing pages, from when he was born in Sri Lanka, and at the moment, I'm up to when they moved to Perth. It's making me cry, the big dork that I am, sitting in front of my laptop all teary. But I felt like sharing how totally awesome my Pop is.

Zyll's gripes

Being in a kind of irritable and sleepy mood, I have a few things I feel I need to complain to the world about. This will be a really negative post, so if you're in the mood for happiness, I suggest you read something happier like that wikkid book Liz got from Miss Lee, 'A Lovely Love Story'. It's just lovely =]

Anyway: Zyll's grips:

1. People who say/type/use the word 'gah'. Yuck. It is annoying and lame and stupid. I actually abhor the word. I get a shiver of disgust every time I hear it.
2. I'm totally with Caitee on this one - people who use the word 'meh'. Tthere is nothing less descriptive in the whole world than 'meh'.
3. Nail polish that chips and goes yuck.
4. Keys.
5. People who insist on discounts or complain about the quality of a product when there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
6. Temperamental phones
7. Certain people while drunk
8. People who don't get very big obvious hints.
9. My P-Plates that keep falling down.
10. Losing my house keys.

Now all that negativity is out, let us hope it leads to happiness and chocolate brownies, cos I know they're being cooked this second =] =]

Drycleaning

So I'm now officially employed.
And I've spent my last two full day shifts basically all by myself with lots of clothes and no water access to make continuous cups of coffee, reading 'That's Life!' and 'Take 5', two of Australia's worst magazines ever.
So, my dear friends, if you are at Southlands for some unknown reason, PLEASE, I am begging you, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! come and save me from death by reality magazines. Even if it is just for five minutes of non-customer interaction, I would be forever grateful.
Other than that, I'm enjoying this whole getting-paid thing. It has been a while. But it is just as excitingly wonderful.

And as another really boring update, I have lovely new bathers, we went fruitlessly party-hopping last night and Kat is pregnant with my children. Just in case you'd like to know.
Oh and also, I'm a bit over this whole 'I'm leaving to join the army thing'. I'm going to miss all my army recruit friends - they'll come back all serious and uber macho. Not that that's a bad thing, but it just won't be the same *sigh* Machoness is good in certain doses, but super macho and, if you're like my cousin Jennifer, constantly marching as though you're about to be called to attention and told to about turn any moment, gets slightly socially awkward.
But I'll still love them both anyway.

pirate dvds

No, not pirate DVDs like DVDs that belong to pirates. But DVDs that aren't real DVDs. They've broken my heart. I was all set and ready to enjoy the wonderful world of Hairspray and the DVD doesn't work!

My sadness right now is unmatchable.
