“You can do anything.. if it’s on a toothbrush.”
– Michael Bluth, giving me some handy business advice last night in my dream. He was brushing his teeth with a ‘Bluth’ toothbrush at the time, I suppose my mind/he just connected the dots. But I woke up after this dream (at about 3am), rolled over, smiled to myself, and made a mental note...

ali-with-an-i: mashburger: i took out my 8mm stretcher, just because i wanted to know if it would shrink back. well, successful! i’m now back with my 6mm. actually, it might be my 5mm, i don’t remember. but i just stretched it back to see if it actually WOULD stretch back. now i don’t know whether to go back to an 8mm. You didn’t stretch it back, the elasticity in your skin contracted. ...

must really want me to work for them. I applied online at the same time as I applied for bp, and they called about a week and a half ago asking if I would come in for an interview. I told them that, unfortunately, I already had another job. I just had another phone call from them then, requesting another interview. Weird.

bp uniform is horrible. i look like i have a hunchback due to this weird pleat thing on the upper back of the shirt. i’m wearing a pair of my own pants, because the bp pants sat up past my bellybutton and were still tight around my stomach, but baggy and manly everywhere else. but still, looking forward to my first shift today.

I just had THE scariest trip home from Barker. I don’t even know what made it scary.. something had made me uneasy though, and the whole trip just didn’t feel ‘right’. Every little thing that was out of the ordinary made my heart leap up into my throat, and even things that were meant to be there i was oddly cautious of. I just felt anxious the whole time, which is strange,...
me: just.. just let me down
me: whatevs.
me: *hides tears*
tim: awwww
tim: there there
tim: its gonna be ok...
tim: well, probably not tonight...
tim: cos you'll have to cry yourself to sleep without me there
tim: but you know, other times
tim: they'll be alright
me: what if i kill myself tonight?
me: then there won't BE other times
tim: do i get your stuff?
me: no.
tim: dear god! don't do it!
“B1: Are you thinking what I’m thinking B2?
B2: NO! I’M NOT PSYCHIC, how am I...”
– - hahahaha, hilarity from alex last night. (via nuugen) have I ever mentioned how much I love Alex? Such a tool, but alas, I’m a fool. (via ali-with-an-i) He is THE king of one liners. Except, Kim, if i may correct? before he said ‘my name is greg’, there was in instance of ‘and...

ali-with-an-i: Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments, love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand’ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. Love’s...
the bandit.
i bought 12 fake moustache off of deal extreme. i am currently modelling ‘the bandit’. i feel pretty normal, you know, sitting in front of my computer with a moustache. i wonder if real moustaches are this itchy.
Confession...
jackieheartsb: hydeordie: I am the one person left on this darn internet who still rents movies AT Blockbuster. Not even kidding, I go at least once (but more like 2-3 times) a week. brandon has netflix. he begs me to use netflix. but no! i am an admittedly impatient woman. i will use netflix and blockbuster, and i’ll like it like that! i’ll have movies coming out my…well, you know, and...
the farmers would be loving this weather.
why don’t we talk about the farmers more often? “the farmers would have loved that movie” “the farmers would have LOLed” “pretty sure the farmers think she’s a whore”
I took Ronen’s advice today, and I acted like a traveller in my own city. I was bored, so I wandered around aimlessly in the parts of the city that I don’t usually wander, just because the main shopping part of the city is in the other direction, so we usually hang out down there. Keep in mind, the CBD of Adelaide is teensy.. You can pretty much walk from North Terrace to South Terrace...
Brace Face
Saw some people last night (Meagan, Brooke, Scott, Smamuel, Danny, plus Meagan’s parents) who haven’t seen me since I got my hair cut and my braces off (so for a couple of months). Besides feeling terribly self conscious whenever they brought it up, I liked something that Scott said. He said something along the lines of, ‘The good thing is, your confidence hasn’t changed...
BP
sooo.. i got my new job! went for the final interview today - and got it on the spot. induction of wednesday, and my first actual shift is next tuesday. i’m pretty damned excited about this. i mean, it’s only at bp, but it seems like a pretty chilled job. the only downside is having to pay 50% tax on whatever i earn since it’s my second job. but that just means that since i...
“There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which...”
– Epictetus (via jeralyndwile) Yes. I totally agree with this. I try not to worry about, or get worked up about, anything. Anything that I’ve done prior is in the past, is unchangeable. Why stress out about something that cannot be changed? The future is totally the same. As much as it is good...
“you have signed into msn on another computer. click here to sign in again.”
– that just popped up on the systray. but WHERE have i signed in again? i’m sitting right here!
“I think my pants are on backwards.”
– kim. (ash is tumbling on kims). Just now. She went looking for her phone in her pocket, and then realised her pocket wasn’t where it should be.. after a couple of seconds of silence, she came out with that. For some reason, it cracked us up. Todays funny report - HILARIOUS! (via nuugen)
the rain on the roof.
i love it when the rain on the roof is so loud that i have to turn up whatever i’m watching to be able to hear it.
“but yeah, you should watch the fifth elephant.”
– jacinda, tonight. none of us could really talk properly, we kept saying the wrong words and getting confused.. jacinda was talking about the movie ‘the fifth element’. what can i say, i loled.
You know you Tumblr too much when:
peterwknox: emilyposts: In-text paper citations look like this: (via Smith and Jacobs) You wish you could unfollow people in the real world. Your Tumblr following is more important than you Facebook following. You lie awake at night wondering what private group took your post and get paranoid about why they might want it. You eagerly await emails from your mom and are disappointed when they...

ali-with-an-i: I had a dream and you were there But it weren’t fair cause I couldn’t get to you And then you looked Right at me and I could tell You wanna get to me And I can’t deny I wanna fly Right to you Instantly I had a dream And you were there I touched your hair But I’d forgotten you And I can’t deny I wanna cry When she stands Next to you And then you...
driving home from barker again tonight, i took the scenic route. up through norton summit. very, very windy road, but lots of fun to drive on. in the darkness, however, it is scary. i pulled over at one point, turned my lights off and sat in the darkness. the shadows jumped out from nowhere.. my heart was beating like crazy in my chest. so exhilarating! and i love driving in the dark on a quiet...

nuugen: because of the lollipop. fark yes.
Adventuring101
ronen: I don’t feel qualified to be to be discussing this. But enough of you have asked for long enough, that here I am. (I feel a bit like Harry Potter in Order of The Phoenix.) I’m truly honored. Yesterday, after leaving an out of service carnival ride we may or may not have snuck into, discussion came around to people who want adventure in their lives, and ask for it. They want you to come...
Give the graphic designer some credit
purple-princess-14: bencrossley: Ever noticed the buttons at the top of the Tumblr dashboard, how the icon tears actually match up from one button to the next? Now that’s attention to detail. ;) BEN!!! That crazy kid…. You just made me spend the last 5mins examining the icon tears…. Amazing. It really is. Wha? how do you even notice something like that, Ben?
Watchi can’t stop giggling at this video. his eyes are PRICELESS.
currently
tumbling off of a macbook pro. and i love it! it just makes me want one even more. it’s so easy to use… and i just like the way the keys feel under my fingers. by the end of this year, i WILL have a macbook. well, maybe not. but i would like one. i want a laptop before i start uni anyway, may as well be a mac :D
I want to know your plans.
Quite simply put, I don’t know what to think anymore. A lot of people have told me a lot of different things, but in the end, you’re the only one who knows what you’re thinking. You’re the only one who know your fears, you’re the only one who knows your plans. And that is scary, because I like to be the one in charge, I like to be the one who knows. Just know,...
last night.
we went to sushi train, walked down rundle mall for a bit and got coffee, ran in to jordan (!!!!) who i hadn’t seen in a long long time, and got a couple of big hugs from him. and for those of you playing at home, not jordan-from-our-group jordan, this is a boy who i haven’t seen for approximately a year. then we went for a drive down to gawler, for no real reason, apart from causing...
I was recently reading an old adbusters magazine of mine (jan/feb 2008), which discusses the erection of the Israel/Palestine wall. Adbusters have chosen to show both arguments for the wall, both for and against. The essay they have chosen to portray the Israeli frame of mind probably isn’t a fair description of all Israelis, but was most likely cleverly chosen to bias the readers opinion of...
“And tried to process it. And tried to remind myself that when we first met I...”
– From here. There were some bits that I liked, and a lot that I don’t agree with. Good writing, either way. But in this essay, the writer discusses monogomous relationships, and how our generation seems to be moving away from them. I strongly disagree. She talks about being in ‘long term...
directed to:
alison. yes, i believe you should enquire to sgt derrick mcmanus as to whether it is legal. however, seeing as it is possible (read - probable) that he has a bunch of downloaded music at his house (3 girls and a boy living there, all under the age of 17). Indeed, it is highly probable that he has downloaded music himself. all in all, probably not the best person to ask. kelly. “the nicest...

– Ashleigh “Mashburger” McManus! I’m so ashamed of you, my so-called friend. How could you not know? Were you not paying attention in Back to the Future! You don’t travel through space, you travel through time, therefore you will be at the exact location 3 million years previous. IN THE SEA!!!!!...
