ok..
I agreed to be on the choreography team for GS..
What the hell was I thinking?
(Background: I have no dancing talent whatsoever.. I like Latin and Ballroom.. and everybody else on the team is hip hop a-la Fresh Funk: which I tried once and wasn't fantastic at, but there is no chance I can sneak a jive in anywhere.. wait!! OMG! I just thought of a Jive number!! *runs off to call claire*)
anyway..
But it's kinda turning out for the best. The rest of the group are fantastic dancers.. but I'm really creative! So the do the dances and I think of odd things to make them do
*and back from claire.. the jive is in! huzzah!*
and now.. to practice my (soon to be) dance item..
My friends pet is dying..
and I'm crying?
Am I crying more for her or her pet?
WTF?
I'm so excited!
It's so hot!
in other news...
I have a call back for a job interview at the Woden Youth Centre...
It's everything I've ever wanted, my life is getting back on track in a huge way: I have an awesome man, 2 little furballs who give me all the attention I can handle and more (ok.. purring while they try and sit on my head at 2am is getting a little tiresome), I'm working on a new wardrobe, buying new clothes and making some more, and my dream job is just around the corner.
Now I just have to work on keeping up with my friends, I'm trying not to loose touch. I never used to bother cause there would always be something, some event or other, to keep us together. Now there's no real excuse other than our own wishes and I'm finding it hard to rise to the challenge. My friends are in other states, other countries, and even the ones who live close to me I'm finding it hard.
Yes, I still have my 'phone phobia' as manda calls it. I feel like I can't call anyone unless I have a reason.. I've been trying to overcome that.. Smsing people with inane chatter, but the fear is still there.
If anyone wants to say hi, call me: Chances are I've been fretting about calling you.

6 Odd things about me... and these aren't the oddest things by far ...
1. I'm terrified of caving. Scared Shitless. I think that's why I go. Whenever I go into a cave I HAVE to explore every nook and cranny and squeeze into every last hole.. but I need to have somebody talking to me every step of the way, I find the local sporting team to be quite stimulating in those circumstances, long as I can hear someone's voice. Three reasons I still go caving: because I enjoy it and I'm damned if I'm going to let anything as stupid as fear stop me and because the adrenalin rush from it is awesome! I'll have my Caving Guide qualifications soon and I shall get paid to go caving next year.. Woot!
2. I have always liked monster trucks, ever since I was little. I always wanted to have one to take 4WDing and show up all the 4WDing guys.. (Don't ask me why I thought I could take a Monster Truck 4WDing, I just did. face it, they look like 4WDs, but tougher.. and they can do jumps.. never seen a sissy Land Cruiser do a jump..lol)
3. I dream about flying.. I always have. but not just any flying, I always dream I have to flap my arms to get into the air.. and it's hard, sometimes I have to flap my legs as well. There's always people on the ground trying to get to me and I have to stay up, but the more desperate I am to get up the more gravity pulls me down.
4. I'm such a nerd.. I read the dictionary for fun. I like linguistics, maths, physics, science, psychology, sociology, biology, et cetera.. yup.
5. I used to do vaulting. real vaulting. kinda like the kind in the Olympics, but actually on a real horse. I was a little girl and to me the horse was HUGE, I had to get lifted onto him, or use a step up. It was a load of fun.
6. I hate the sound of my own voice. hate it chronicly. I try so hard to avoid listening to to, especially singing.

Well I've been sick as hell lately.. been coughing up all sorts of.. yellow, green and red.. yeah, you don't want to know..
my thermometre only goes up to 40deg, so i have no idea how hot i got (don't tell Rhi.. he'll get mad at me for no taking his advice.. apparently 39deg is worry time), but i had cool delusions while i was in the fevers.. the first night i thought we were at war and the reason i hurt was cause i'd been shot. The second night i though I was a penguin and all the other penguins and I were dying cause it was getting so hot the ice caps were melting (cool thing is a show came on today about exactly that.. spooky eh?) and last night I though had to look after a couple of people's bodies while their brains were on holiday, but I kept stuffing up so I couldn't keep their bodies still so that meant i kept twitching. The cool thing was (ok, it was only cool after the event, during it was kinda scary) I could see plainly that I was lying in bed but I just couldn't tell myself so.. but it was ok cause i'd always pass out before too long..
but i'm getting better, i still haven't chanced going outside since monday, but tomorrow's a new day.
I started a new job a while ago.. and loving it.. but have recently (aka monday) accepted a new position and we'll see how it goes..
(OMG Cam bought me PoTO on DVD and I just had to watch the opening of the chandelier. *SQUEEEE*)
but yes.. I'm happy..
Well, as phil has not re-installed the drivers for the speakers back into the pc yet, i'm forced to abandon homestarrunner.com for something that doesn't require sound.
hence, here.
There is an abondance of things to do.. and yet, not much worth doing.
I think I've finally decided what to get cam for his birthday...
(I know, I know, I had already decided before.. but I just can't afford to buy him a motox bike.. though I really wish I could.)
So, it is back to the old trick.. get him to ask you if he can get something.. say no... then surprise him for it.
It's kinda odd, before I saw him oggling the little tykes I would never had guessed he's like any of them, they're much more my thing.. but that boy surprises me every day with more reasons to love him.. that was so soppy, I can't believe I said it.
I'm being deliberately vague... I want to surprise him, so he can't know before hand.
I'm so excited
currently typing with one hand, as coco the python is curled up in the other and has decided that she has moved enough for one night, thankyou very much, and is not budging.
(she started around my neck.. ended up medusa - style wrapped around my braids... then i picked her off and now she won't let go.)
anyways.. i write this from Cam's new abode.
yes, yes i know, i should be here too but i've decided that i've got just waaay too much stuff to officially move out, i have to take all my stuff with me when we go and my kyacks just won't fit in the living room.
(Thanks to the guys for inviting us into their home.. i won''t say whom cause cam hasn't told his parents yet)
and coco has decided to lounge across the desk/keyboard as well, thus making me not only unable to use my left hand.. but also wary of where i put my fingers too.
so update..
Solomon islands was awesome.
I missed cam too much to be away for that long again.
an suffering from withdrawals from not seeing all of my friends whom i saw every single day (and shared a bed with for some of it.. mel and ruffy and danni and josh.. i miss you!!!)
Cam just came and took Coco off me.. wah. i LIKED her getting in my way.. it was endearing. ar well, i guess i'll have to take them both. he's endearing too
Looking for a full time job.. yay for more money!
Looking for land to build a house on.. yay!
Looking for art to fill my house that both cam and I enjoy.. we have the same tastes in some things.. but mine are more varied on others.. so i've got it figured on the exact picture for our bedroom that i know he'll absolutely cream his pants when he sees it.. but for the rest of our house, i dunno. my studio is all sorted. that's my domain. i know what i want, i've just got to get it. lounge is a pickle.. half done and yet to be finished. "Have nothing i your house that you do not know to be useful.. or believe to be beautiful" - William Morris.
Kittens have gone back to their home.. we had 4 kittens (ginger and pippa's kittens..) who were absolutely gorgeous, cam and i were going to adopt 2.. but they had to go back to the neighbours. so sad..
am in a art phase.. my muse has awakened and i must paint! thus i am off to purchase a caouple of canvasses and re-arange for my easle to return to my posession.. I have a new sketch book.. but tis not enough for me.. i must paint before this idea/muse/concept/art is lost to the world forever!

youu know, it's only when he's back in town that i realise i've missed him, just mucking around with him.
He's my mate for almost forever.. we met by play-fighting, and that's how our friendship is defined.
We've got an understanding of anti-affection, and it's probably better left that way.
So I'll never be able to be mushy and gross and tell him how much he means to me..
no matter what, how long or how far we are apart. Even if i only get to beat him up once a year (Yeah, I've still got the upperhand in sumo. he's stronger than me, he just doesn't know it. or maybe he does and just lets me win.. hope not.) He'll always be my mate.
i think he already knows,
but dammit i wish i could tell him.
and JT
and Maxx3
and Neville (I think..?)
oh, yeah.. and US!!!!
Happy birthday MRC!
and a very happy talk like a pirate day me hearties!
(today dunc, not next week.. can you fix the website please?)
YAYAYAYAY!!!
*cough*
i mean..
ARRRRRRRRGGHH!
what I had actually logged in yesterday to say was:
happy birthday Freddy.
So long Steve.
but hey, i forgot about that in the long run..
and in other news:
I need a bike.
a good, reliable dirt bike that i can also register and drive on my Ls.
I know, i know, i should be happy with what i've got, but it can't be ridden on the road under any circumstances, let along on my Ls.
besides, I'm still rather wary of it since I crashed it. It didn't scare me at the time, i was going a good 70 or 80 kms/hr, so I was more of.. *checking for limbs* ok, I came out of that one ok. lucky.
I still haven't bought the handlebars for it, just bent them back into place, i'm so lucky thay're the only main damage i need to replace.
on a smaller bike i won't have to deal with the temptation of speeding.. i just won't be able to do it! This thing is too big and powerful, it makes me want to just let it fly full throttle and screw the consequences. unfortunately the consequences could be me.
I need to get my technique all together and get over my urge for thrills and speed, and i need a bike that's not going to give me the temptation.
I love the rmx, i really do, but i need to have a reality check, preferable before i end up in hospital.
*24 days to go..
*cam is now officially a tradey. YAY!. no more apprentice shite..
*mocktails night at rovers
*fundraising is getting there
*i love him
*immunised and have tablets to take with me
*i'm going to miss him so much i think i want to cry
*kabooti is mad at me and i don't know why
*another hilux.. maybe..
*pc is stuffed.. i may have lost everything.. if anyone has any pictures, dcuments, stories, hike logs, anything.. i would really love them to replenish my collection... please?
* I passed my workplace assessment.. even after loosing it all and re-writing it in 30 min. yay!
*I'm off to put money in the bank.. oh, it's sucha grand feeling to not be totally poor!
I won't publish people's houses, they might get annoyed at me..
but it gives you an idea.. that's from 950m above the ground. you can get closer, but you loose the perspective.
It's official.. the myth has been dispelled, you cannot see the great wall of china from space.
you can, however, see my house clearly from 2km above ground.
i'm having soo much fun..
nothing like chatting to mick on the phone and telling him that i can see his house.. and it being true!
mmm.. satelite stalking..
who can i stalk next?
if anyone has the grid reference to their house (or anything else for that matter.. everest looks particularly white this time of year) I can show it to them
oh, the power..
A vigil for love.
