Just an update...

So it's been months since i've blogged about anything really worthwhile...
so to keeps you guys up to date, here's a quick rundown on what's happened in the past 4/5 months....

The Green Guy (or TGG) and i were engaged for a while. about 8 months roughly. but that's since fallen apart. long story there. i don't know if i'll ever tell it here in full.

but anyway...

he got himself a new girl only weeks after he dumped me (that's the bit that i was most pissed off about). i'd seen her in his dance class too. and yeah i was totally jealous. she's everything i'm not. slim, gorgeous, dances well, gets along well with people.

yeah, as u can guess i was rather depressed. he'd replaced me with someone i could never even hope to be.

the dance crew made it to the finals of australia's got talent and i am so proud of them!

i went to melbourne for the filming of the semi finals. that's when i first actually properly met TGG's new girl. i shall call her Pixie.

i offered to drive her to teh airport, so we met up in teh city and went for maccas. we got to chatting about random things and then we discovered it was too late to drive, so we took the train instead. that was still fun.

the next day i flew down and pixie picked me up from the melbourne airport. we hung around the city and did some sight seeing and just enjoyed chatting about anything and everything. i love her. she is really an awesome girl.

once we got to the studio for the filming, we were both kinda tipsy (lol) and excited to be on a TV SHOW!!! *squeal*

we got to meet red and grant. that was so much fun. and when the boys performed we got up and screamed our little hearts out.

there was also a band that had entered, they unfortunately didn't make it through to the final, but u should check out their myspace : http://www.myspace.com/3stripeave

once we returned from melbourne, things took a slight turn for the worse for me.
seeing Pixie and TGG together made me remember that i felt so alone and that it wasn't fair that he'd found someone so soon and i still had no-one. so i kinda made a few mistakes.

long story short, i'm just glad that daddy had the strength to help me, when everyone else seemed stumped with what to do. i know i scared some people and i never meant for that to happen.

the way that i was feeling that one night, i'm pretty sure that if i was left on my own, my family wouldn't be complete anymore.
it's like i was stuck in a black hole. no light or hope could make it through. i just wanted it all to end. and i was on the brink of making one of the worst mistakes in my life.
and you know something's wrong when someone who's not into public displays of emotion or affection, actually picks you up off the bathroom floor and hugs you tight and doesn't want to let you go.
that took a lot to do, and that one gesture showed me so much love and caring. and that's what brought me back from the edge.

i started making more of an effort to be social and try to meet new people. i even drove 2 hours to attend an ex-boyfriend from highschool's birthday. which was totally worth it. it was out bush and i had the best time i had had in ages. there was a campfire going and music and a bbq. and i was the only girl game enough to go bushbashing to find more firewood. and i even had the bruises to show off afterwards.

i met some new people over the net, on facebook and myspace of course. and they were fun and nice. they took my mind off things for a while and i started cheering up again.

i had finally started to become my old happy self again, when into my life came the most wonderful guy ever.

Mutha has christened him Jawsome. and jawsome he is.

i've laughed so much when i've spoken to him. he is gorgeous and his personality is absolutely perfect.
i guess the easiest way to describe him (according to other family members) is me, but more laid back, and a guy (duh).

we like a lot of the same things. tv, music, life in general. and even the Teen has said we seem to be perfectly matched.

i hope so. i love him with all my heart and i'm hoping this lasts forever.

i'm moving down to NSW with him in a few short weeks. i'll keep you guys posted on how that goes. i'll have a fair bit more time to blog for a while, so i'll be able to put more detail in.


btw... the dance crew came 3rd in Australia's Got Talent, which kinda sucks.

also, TGG was in a motorbike accident last week. did a short stint in hospital but is out now. very bruised and battered, but it could have been a lot worse. his bike's been written off. apparently the only thing left worth salvaging MIGHT be the motor. if that.....

and i finish my traineeship on August 1. i have about 3 books left to finish. and in saying that, i should finish up and continue working on them so i can take the extra day off and stay with Jawsome for that extra 24hrs.

ciao bananas!!

workplace shenanigans...

so last night i took the teen to kfc at about 9pm cause i saw an ad and decided i wanted some...
and the cops had blocked off part of blunder road...
so we had to detour through the guts of inala to get to the kfc....
which was fine and dandy.

then we were coming back and i thought i'd go back along blunder road to suss out what happened...but no.. the cops had blocked off BOTH sides of the road..
so we had to do a Uturn and go back through the guts of inala.....
turns out there was a house on fire.

we drove past this morning and there were still cops and fireys in attendance.
the house was burnt to a crisp. apparently.
i couldn't see. i was driving.

and when i got to the office this morning, i was greeted by a workmate with "security is on the way, DS has had a fall".

"oh shit", i think to myself. not good.
she's almost 60.
turns out a huge huntsman spider had run across her desk and given her a fright.
she tripped over her chair and landed on her hip, and someone else thinks she hit her head as well.

she had a headache, couldn't see properly, and was in too much pain to move very far.
they managed to sit her on a chair untill security arrived. he tried to get her into a wheelchair, but she couldn't move for the amount of pain, and once she was moved, she had intense nausea. and her colour was way off. she had gotten worse. so an ambulance was called.

about an hour later, a cute guy in an ambo uniform walked in, followed by a REALLY cute guy in an ambo uniform.
the general office staff gathered around to watch and distract DS from being in too much pain while they stuck her with needles.

they gave her the magic green stick to help with the pain, and it was doing ok until they needed to move her. then, just as a precautionary measure... they gave her morphine so they could get her up.

by the time she was ready to be wheeled out on the stretcher, she was so far spaced out that it was actually kinda funny. she started waving like the queen and we all started cracking jokes to make her laugh.
one of the girls went in the ambulance with her to the hospital. this chick is a mad hatter, so we know she'll make DS laugh and distract her from being sore.

all in all.. an interesting morning. let's hope the rest of the day is just as fun.

ps.. they killed the spider....

pps.. the ambos were rory (the cute one) and wade (the really cute one)

it's about bloody time...

hello again to all my readers! (yes.. all 3 of you... if that....)

i apologise for the huge break in blogging. there's been a fair bit happen in the past months.

there will be further details when i have more time, but for now i have to finish up my work for the day and move on to the last of my tafe stuff.

I HAVE 7 WEEKS LEFT!!!!

gosh it's all gone so fast....

Lagees and Genklefins, She's done it again!

Last month sometime I was sitting at my desk, working (as any good receptionist should), when out of the corner of my eye I saw a poor, defenseless scaly breasted lorikeet rolling around on the road. Turns out the poor little bugger had flown into a car.

So I picked it up and took it to the vet school. Yay me. It was released a day or two after.

Now today, literally about 10 mins previous to my posting of this blog, i was playing a game working and i heard a loud THUD!

I looked out the window and saw 4 minah birds looking at me, and then to something on the ground out of my view and then back at me. I decided to investigate further...

Tromping through the garden (a regular occurrence for me) i was truthfully expecting to find one of the said minah birds rather groggy on the ground. But low and behold, after shifting aside some shrubbery (no herring involved), i found a little finch-like bird looking at me as if to say "help me". so i picked up the poor thing without any struggle, the minah birds protesting in the background. it sat quietly in my hands until i got it upstairs to the animal ethics office and into a box.


well, we've just let it go, cause it started to wake up and rustle around a bit. so that's a very good sign. we're a little worried cause it didn't go very far and i was able to pat it whilst it was in the tree, so we're thinking maybe either a baby or a pet? if it's still there tomorrow i'll try to grab it again and arrange to get it to someone to look after.

but anyway, it's not five past finishtime and i must be getting home to the family.

i love this feeling. so content with the knowledge that i have rescued a poor little bird from the jaws of certain death at the hands of a bunch of birds who could easily get their dinner from the bins near the refect.

One lump or two?

so today we were off to a good start. the traffic wasn't too heavy, it only took about 40 mins to get to work today. Teen made us giggle as we dropped her off at school. everything seemed a bit brighter than usual (i've been in a pretty dark mood lately. maybe when i work up the strength and courage i'll blog about it. but basically it includes heaps of stress at work, me being sick, and the ending of a relationship that's lasted for over 4 years. which is a pretty big deal at my age really. we were engaged and everything). let's see how long that good feeling lasts.

ok, so there's this old, almost senile woman that works in my office. i'm actually surprised she hasn't put herself through the shredder yet, she's that dumb. and we don't even have a shredder!! she does as little as possible and if she gets more than 2 things to do she says she's swamped and can't possibly do any more. really annoying. and sometimes i will stand in front of her and say something, and it's like it doesn't even register that i'm speaking. and she wonders why i never told her i was going for lunch and things of that nature. for this story we shall call her Dipshit. but anyway... let's continue...

this morning, Ipswich (another co-worker) and myself were having a whinge about Dipshit whilst standing at the copier, when we heard a clunk, a quiet shriek and a scraping noise.

we cautiously looked out the corner of our eyes and sure enough....... Dipshit was frantically clinging to her keyboard. Ipswich had to grab a book and hide behind it to stifle her laughter whilst i did the emo thing and hid behind my hair.

Eccentric (yet another workmate) heard her and so came around the corner to offer assistance. i looked and there was a puddle everywhere.... from the cords at the rear of the desk to the carpet in front. it looked clear so i thought it was water. turns out it was tea.

i guess we know who's desk is gonna be all nice and sticky for the rest of the day.... lulz.


in other news, yesterday whilst i was picking up Mutha from work, we were going home our usual way when i saw a rather strange sight. a volvo, much like mine, but with... (hold onto your hats kids)...... BLACK RACING STRIPES!!!!

he must have seen me pointing and giggling cause when he got closer, he stuck his hand out and gave one of those waves that aren't really a wave, but like a long distance nod of appreciation. kinda like how a motorbike rider will give an upward jerk of the head to another motorbike rider as if to say, "yeah. glad we're still here. i got respect for u."

anywho it was an amusing experience that kept us giggling until we had gotten way around the corner and onto the next street. fun times.... fun times......

a marathon post for a marathon day!!

So yesterday myself, Mutha and Sunny went to Movieworld on the Gold Coast for the whole double birthday thing (mine was yesterday, mums was sunday).

the trip down was tiring.... the wind kept trying to blow my car off course... and considering it's an old volvo (and bloody heavy to boot!!) it did a damn good job of making me wander across the lanes....

but we managed to arrive in one piece. got through the gate no sweat. I turned to Sunny and asked what he thought we should do first...
His reply? "if you ask me to decide anything today i will throuw up on you!"

Nice....

so we wandered around the corner and i stopped and squealed "THE SCOOBY COASTER!!!"

and i dragged them both off for their first scooby experience.

the line was very minimal indeed. pretty much straight on. Sunny and I in the front, Mutha in the back.

Sunny got a fright when something in the dark moved on his left side. Mutha was torn between giggling and being scared... i was just grinning like a loon...

there's one section where u go backwards and all i could hear was Mutha behind me going "oh...oh... OH!!! no!!!!!" etc...... and beside me Sunny screaming "ohshitohshitohshit OH FUCK!!!", which of course made me cack myself all the way down to the bottom of the coaster.....

after that we got some tasty cold beverages and i can't remember if we went to the wild wild west, or played the silly sideshow game first...

i think we did the silly sideshow game, and then the water coaster (we were at the front and got wet!! it was fun) and then we saw the police academy stunt show (i saw this guy in a ridiculous shirt walking in and sitting down and immediately picked him as one of the ones they pull out of the audience. and if not, then he had to be shot for wearing that shirt in public...) and it was very well done. i know they have most of the banter between the cop and the horrible shirt guy organised, but most of this one looked as if it was improvised. it was highly amusing...

but after that i think Sunny and I went on the carousel in the loony toons village... i went on road runner, and Sunny went on sylvester. Mutha sat under a tree and looked after our various junk we had so far accumulated...

after the carousel Sunny and I both dived for the loony toons river ride. it was amusing. Sunny got dripped on. LOL!!!

we also went on the road runner rollercoaster. now THAT was fun. too short in my opinion.

after that, i think we went for some lunch in the western area. i had a wrap and some chips and coke. Mutha had some chips. Sunny had some air and water (he's a plant doncha know?).

after a lovely lunch we watched some poor people try to win a prize by throwing a bouncy ball into a bucket. they failed. big time. the guy running the game was pretty cute (we were staring at him during lunch) so i thought i'd be game enough to make a dick of myself and have a go.

first ball bounced off what i thought was a toy shark and stuck in the bucket. nice landing indeed. second shot hit the sweet spot on the edge of the bucket and stayed in. i was stoked. third shot i didn't care about so i didn't really try. and i missed the bucket by a mile. oh well. i got a big, retarded, stuffed cow as my prize. it was the toy i was eyeing off beforehand anyway. so i was absolutely thrilled!!

after some wandering around and going on the dodgem cars, i think we eventually found our way to the shrek theatre?? the shrek in 4d movie was pretty fun, but the waiting in a stuffy, enclosed room was horrible. it was too long, that's for sure. it's the kind of hot and stuffy where if you have to wait longer than five minutes you start to feel ill.... TBH i felt more sick in that room than i did on any of the rides!!

we also got ourselves some icecream and watched the street parade. pretty cool indeed. the hostess' voice got a bit irritating after a while. too nasally and high. pretty outfit though. towards the end of the parade, they stop the floats and the characters get off and have a bit of a boogie. and shrek tried to steal my icecream..... now if it was shaggy or fred or even the cute ball-game guy ("what balls do you know of that don't bounce??" a classic line that he said which i will never forget!! XD), that'd be fine... but shrek????? ugh!

it started to rain a little so we found some shelter behind the icecream shop. Mutha waited there while Sunny and I had one last ride on the water coaster. of course, it started pissing down while we were running over, but we didn't care cause it was fun anyway...

and after that ride was over, we made one last dash for the scooby coaster. it was pretty much straight in again. it was almost five so a lot of people were leaving.

we got in the front of a carriage and took off. there was and asian couple behind us in the same carriage, why are asian women so damned whiny?? this one screamed like a wuss at every major turn. even Sunny was laughing at her, and that's saying something!!

after we jumped off and laughed at our photo (i forgot where the camera was and so i was making a strange face in the shot. i was making the pop noise that donkey makes in the second [?] shrek movie), we went back to Mutha and started to make our way out of the park. a fun day was had by at least myself, so i didn't care too much about the other two. i had fun and that's what counted.

birthdays rule!!

next year, i think it's seaworld's turn to put up with me for the day.....

counting down already. 366 days to go......

roflz....

WARNING: may contain naughty words

I. HATE. TECHNOLOGY!!

my USB stick isn't working. and it has all my totally awesome lolcat pictures on it.... and my wikkid wallpapers.... and all my hott band pics.

oh, and my TAFE assignments......

stoopid flaming piece of junk!! rahrahrahrahrahrah ;slkdfjksalsd;flaksdfja;lskfj

>.<

*insert temper tantrum here*

ever get so pissed off at an inanimate object that you just want to get really violent? well this is one of those times....


i gave the usb to the doc to look at in linux.... and he has just brought back the patient and told me the diagnosis. "dead as a doornail". his words. thanks doc.

he says the data would still be there... it's just that the usb isn't going to power up to let me access it. and he finds it ironic that the old computer wouldn't let me access the usb ports at all. i wouldn't be surprised if it's made my usb sick or something.....

oh well.

dammit.... now i gotta go cruising the web for all my lolcats to replace them and whatever.

stupid friggin technology.

i have a headache....

EDIT- forgot to put in a naughty word.....

*thinks*
ummmmm........
