“Oi sexy, going into town tonight?”
– Text from Alex. Tonight is coming together rather quickly, after I wasn’t even sure if I’d be going out at all. One of those ‘spontaneous night are best’ situations that i’ve talked about? Perhaps. But is it spontaneous enough?? Only time shall tell.
“kava halloween kebab and sheesha!”
– Jordan’s getting me excited about going out tonight :)
Dear Mum.
cocopops:
Funnily enough, when i say i dont know if i’m doing anything tonight, it actually means i dont know if i am going to be doing something. I’d really prefer it if you didnt ask me 3 times, plus another couple of times asking “if i’m going to do something with …” and changing the names of people i could do things with.
Now excuse me, while i continue to have no idea if i am doing...
I love costumes that are puns!

Like wearing boxes of Cereal all over your body covered in blood and being a “Cereal Killer” I was thinking of mixing a Jesus Costume with a Mermaid costume and being a “Jesus Fish” or for the ladies, you could get a Cowgirl costume and wear it backwards and be a “Reverse Cowgirl”
Jackson told me he was going to wear a tshirt of a band called The Ceilings. He was going to...
My friend Jacinda has returned to blogging after an almost one year absence. And she returned with a cookie recipe (with only 7 grams of fat), which I know is sure to be a hit.
Welcome back Jack!
Relaxing music suggestions?
I’d prefer something purely instrumental, but anything relaxing will do. I love my mellow music, and just realising that I don’t have anywhere near enough relaxing instrumentals. I have some of the Donnie Darko soundtrack, and the composure of those pieces is amazing.
Go!

She’s the one you call when you’re bored or sometimes when you and your significant other had a fight because she makes you laugh. She’s the one you talk to when you’re feeling down because she’s willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She’s the one you spend time with between...
msn shows what i'm listening to at the time. guess...

“Who has two thumbs and doesn’t give a shit? That guy. You, specifically.”
– Amir Blumenfeld, from the previous video. Just reminded me of something Alex would say. Is it possible that Alex and Amir are the same person? Oh dear God.
WatchGot linked to this by Ben, and it is hilarious. I wonder why it wasn’t put on their website though? Unless I missed it.
Jake and Amir on Indy Mogul FTW!
no.
Paul: rule 2: answer the following question: "Do you have Bloc Party's new record?", with a yes or no
Paul: rule 1: no talking
Paul: rule 3: if u want Bloc Party's new songs, refer to rule 2
You know, I really just want someone to hug me right now. I could go for a nice cuddle up with someone cute. I just want that nice, warm fuzzy safe feeling.
Can anyone help?
cocopops:
Well yeah, I think thats the go. But I think it means you dont need to have a working visa… Since you’re a ‘citizen’ and all… Hmmm maybe I should pay Granny a visit again. Or do some research. haha
Doing some reading, I found this on Yahoo! Answers:
Does Australia and UK have an agreement where I can get dual citizenship?
I am Australian and my grandparents were born in the UK, am...
Can anyone help?
cocopops:
I’m pretty sure you can get one. But then again, I’m looking into just getting dual citizenship. I can get that because Mum was born in England. Plus Granny told me I could. haha
I think dual citizenship is just having the two passports? So technically, by decent, we are British citizens. I think.

Advice, men: don’t listen to this advice. If some guy just told me where our date was going to be and didn’t ask what I wanted, I’d think he was rapey and kind of a douche.
Don’t play these ridiculous head games. Just be real. Because if you get a girl by...
Can anyone help?
As any of my loyal followers would know, I’m leaving for the UK in January (well, planning on it). I’m now in the process of applying for my VISA.. but want to know if I am eligible for a UK passport. Dad was born in the UK, but at the time of my birth he was an Aussie citizen. I can’t figure out if the fact that he didn’t hold UK citizenship at the time of my birth is a...

– Walter Fane - The Painted Veil.
“Charlie Townsend: Women are always under the impression that men love them more...”
– The Painted Veil, the movie I’m watching at the moment. Suggestion from Kim, and I can’t say no to Edward Norton. Liking it so far :)
Waiting for Amy to arrive, prepredrinking (fyi, bacardi and passiona - bad idea. also, feeling strangely tipsy after half a glass. Not eating - bad idea also.), and going through the “People You May Know” on facebook, going through the ones I don’t know, the ones I know and don’t want to add, and the ones I actually do want to keep in contact with. And then I have to decide...
Last night was quite surreal. As we sat outside of Syke, at the Electric Light, Kim and I noticed quite a few people that looked like people we knew. A bigger version of Dutch, a couple of girls who bore striking resemblance to girls we used to go to school with, and a boy (whom, embarrassingly enough, we watched for probably close to 10 minutes) who looked similar AND had similar mannerisms to...
Listening to songs in headphones, the sounds are so much more profound. Usually I just listen through my speakers, but listening through my headphones I notice so many little things in the background, when the piano came in i actually paused what I was doing to pay attention.
Focusing, concentrating, on one thing rather than just taking it in as it comes is so much more rewarding. I think that,...
One of the things I’m going to miss in London - the smallness and closeness of Adelaide. I met a friend of a friend on Saturday night, turns out that he’s a trainer at a gym that Kim and Ali go to.
Then, was at the plaza tonight (seeing Saw V! WOO!), and ran into (in this order) Mark (on his break from Jetty), Jarred (a guy I used to work with), then Jordan and Kelly, which led us to...
Why is no one posting tonight?
You guys are boooooring.
“Wel im almost 97% (more than half (50%)) sure i have never made a facebook...”
– Nathan Mrotek, trying to convince me that he didn’t make a facebook today. A previous message from him today read: “I do not stoop like a diseased bald eagle!”
I’m convinced he’s found a random sentence generator.
I was speaking to Earl, the man from Melbourne who works at the helpdesk, because my PDA wasn’t working this morning. We got talking about the Photons, which is the award ceremony for my company (in my mind I picture something similar to the Dundees..), and he asked if I was going. Unfortunately only the supervisors are invited - it’s in Sydney - so I don’t get an opportunity....
“I catch myself and continue to sing.
Why is everyone moving so fast today?
Or...”
– A lot of the time I don’t understand it.. well, I probably don’t understand how he intended it anyway. But I always enjoy reading his writings. Jackson.
Ryan: i think a lot
Me: haha
Me: congratulations
Ryan: about awesome things
Ryan: like dinosaurs
Ryan: and you
Ryan: haha
Me: hahaha
Ryan: but seriously
Me: calling me awesome? = WIN
Ryan: i win?

Me: ROFL
Ryan: when doves cry
Ryan: *bangs head*
Kim: siighh
Me: it's just hard to be as popular as us.
Kim: ohh the dilemmas of being well liked
Kim: lol we rock :P
“if its any consolation i’m sure lots of dudes would want to pay to have...”
– James. Tonight has been a night of odd conversations.
Ryan: ive put on like 12 kg since the start of the year
Ryan: since like march
Me: in muscle?
Ryan: lmao
Ryan: in alcohol
Me: your body just stores it now
Ryan: yeah
Ryan: i can get drunk at wil
Me: next time i want to get drunk i'll just stick a needle into your stomach
Me: you're like an alcoholic camel.
Ryan: u can only get the beer via mouth to mouth
Ryan: and i say that in the sleaziest way possible
Just downloaded the new Jack's Mannequin album..
And listening to the first song immediately made me happy. I always forget how much I love this band.
No One Does it Like You - Department of Eagles.

I immediately fell in love with my hairdresser the second I sat down, when he exclaimed how pretty he thought my eyes were. I’m going to ignore the constant ‘huns’ and his flamboyant dancing. I refuse to believe he’s gay. ;)
I feel like going for a drive. A drive through the country. A drive to listen to music, reflect. A drive to figure things out.
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine. No, no, no, no, no, Nothing else will do. I’ve gotta have you.
He's so punny.
Jackson: dude, thanks millions.
Jackson: for everything.
Me: what for?
Jackson: living.
Jackson: being the vest, douche.
Another one just came to me.. Something about living in WINdsor Gardens. Kevin: “I didn’t know you lived in FAILsor Gardens”
Lame, I know, but absolutely hilarious at the time. Off the back of like a dozen or so other of these.. Me = :D
Oh my.
Quite an excellent day, if I do say so. Started off in bed (naturally), where I got up at about 1ish after a good night last night of pool and pizza (home at approx 230am). After showering, got talking to Kim and we decided a beach trip was in order. Beautiful, sunny weather, nothing else on our agenda - perfect. So Kim, Crossley and myself headed down to Port Adelaide, where we swam fully...
