August 2009
The more time Brooke and I spend together over here, the more I think we’re not destined to live/travel together. I love her to absolute bits, but we’re absolutely different people. Different music, different morals, different ideals. It’s quite weird. But everytime I do something that isn’t in her way of thinking I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Whoa.
Last night was the worst I’ve been in.. ages. Think New Years at Tim’s or Niki’s 18th, seriously. We went out drinking and somehow ended up back at Lee and Jim’s house with their friends.. I threw up three times and then pretty much passed out in Lee’s bed, woke up at 9 and walked home in the pouring rain without an umbrella. I was that drunk though, I actually...
Going through my tumblr from the start was one of...
It is making me ridiculously homesick. I just want to hug Kelly and Kim, and every single other person I know in Adelaide. If I keep doing this, I don’t think I’ll make it to Feb. But it’s still making me laugh loads.
Brooke has convinced me to go our drinking yet again tonight. Gosh. I have seriously drunk every night this week.
Where'd your accent go?
I can’t listen to Tegan and Sara without thinking about the time Kelly and I were walking through the Melbourne CBD after Death Cab for Cutie, and these two guys started talking to us, pretending they were Dutch or Swedish or something. For some reason they nicknamed us Tegan and Sara.. and I can’t remember if we actually believed the accents or not, but halfway through the...
Honestly.
There are what, three of us that mainly hang here? How on earth did we accumulate 14 dirty cups over a two day period? Chris wasn’t even here all that much over that time. And this place gets so DIRTY, so quickly. I’m starting to sound like my mother, and that scares me.
Cleaning in preparation for Aussies arriving tomorrow! :D
Right? Riiiiight?
Brooke: Oh no!
Me: What?
Brooke: *turns head and coughed*
Me: *falls on the floor laughing*
Me: What was that?!
Brooke: I breathed down the wrong pipe!
Me: *more laughter*
Me: You can't breathe down the wrong pipe! You can swallow down the wrong pipe. Not breathe!
Brooke: No. But. Oh.
Discussing Soundwave Week/Stuart's Birthday Week....
Stuart: I'll grace you with my presence
Me: haha. how kind of you.
Stuart: Hahaha it'll cost you tho!
Me: haha!
Me: alright then, what's it gonna cost me?
Stuart: Bday boobies
Stuart: Hahaha
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: that's totally being blogged, just btw ;)
Stuart: And a cake with fritzl's face on it!
Me: HAHA!!!!!! yes. done.
I just had tears brought to my eyes by an amazing...
Our friendship also means the world to me. After literally years of never drinking together, but always talking about it, that one night we finally did it completely changed our friendship. We hadn’t even seen each other for a long long time.. but we were still in contact, and even then, able to talk about anything. You’ll always be my hotpants. And your letter is definitely not...
After our maths exam, our teacher gave only Kim...
Kim: i had to try hash up memories of year 12 stats for my stats assignment
Kim: but i had no memories of the actual WORK we did
Kim: things rang bells in my head, but nothing of use
Me: LOL
Kim: HA
Me: just stupid stuff we'd do? hahahaha
Kim: yeah pretty much
Kim: i had to explain about z score
Kim: and i just remember 'you're a z score'
Me: LOL
Kim: your face is a z score'
Kim: etc
Kim: etc
Me: hahahaha
Kim: today, i got mad at ash
Me: dude, we were awesome.
Me: and totally hilarious.
Kim: LOL
Kim: i don't know how we fricken passed

Got this emailed to me today. Some made me laugh incredibly loud!
I know this is long but there’s some funny ones…
- More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. - Nothing sucks more than that moment during...
The guys at work are cruuuuuuude.
thommo:
You think that is bad…. wait until Gus and I arrive…..
Oh dear god. On second thoughts… so have you guys booked alternative accommodation?
The guys at work are cruuuuuuude.
Me: Hey Dan, can I have the whiteboard eraser?
Dan: Yeah, sure.
Dan: You have to come and get it though.
Me: Ugh. Really?
Dan: Out of my pants.
Me: *rolls eyes*
Dan: With your teeth.
Me: :|
Best. Ever.
Me: did you ever work out what that text message meant??
Me: did kelly sleep with the drummer? hahaha
Tim: NO!
Tim: I SET HER UP THOUGH!
Tim: She's like... In HER words. "I'd do the drummer in a second" About the drummer of the Wherewolves; and then he came OFF STAGE and I walked up to him and said; "My friend thinks you're hot, will you hook up with her" and he's like, "Umm ok" and I dragged him towards her and she RAN AWAY!
Tim: I FUCKING GOT HER A DRUMMER AND SHE RAN AWAY FROM HIM!
“I just in t kelly laid by the drummer!”
– Tim. Will someone please try and decipher this for me? We’d been messaging already, and he was at the Anberlin gig in Adelaide.. but this just does not make any sense. Kelly, did you sleep with the drummer? Cos I can’t work out if that could mean anything else haha. Gotta love...
FUCK
thommo:
We lost the asghes„,
I am alot dsrunk!!!
Next week is going to be awesome hahahaha.Who’s the trashbag now, huh, punk?
Also, I’m going to take a beating at work tomorrow cos I’ve been talking up the Aussie cricket team the whole time the Ashes have been on. Goddamn.
Crummmmpets.
I was lucky enough to be brought crumpets for my post-drinking brekkie, which I enjoyed immensely with vegemite. Chris is the awesomest.
He then went on to pay The Living End out.. and horribly, compare them to Greenday. Ughhhh. Immeasurably frustrating. Ggnn. But it’s alright because he likes Lisa Mitchell. But Living End are playing Leeds fest on the Saturday.. I’m now quite...
Aussies do it better
I just remembered that I can stream Triple J online (when our internet connection decides to be fast enough to allow it), so I streamed some Home n Hosed.. and can I just say, our music scene is amazing. Over here it’s dancey and clubby and all the charts and radios play horrible club music 24/7. I don’t know how I’d describe the aussie music scene, besides awesome.
God...
Last night I was speaking to a boy, 22, and with a philosophy degree. ‘What do you plan to do with the degree?’ I asked. ‘What CAN you do with a philosophy degree?’ I further questioned. I wasn’t insulting it, I was purely curious. I’ve often thought about doing a philosophy course as part of my degree at uni. ‘I’m really not even sure,’ he...
Drunk tumblr failllllll.
Srsly. Keep me away from the computer when I’ve been drinking.
I now officially own my domain for another year.
I can’t believe it’s been a full 365 days already. Any idea when yours comes up for renewal Tim? I suppose I’ll just keep buying it for you.. a yearly present for the most amazing boy haha. I did promise it to you for what seemed like years. Woops.
*Ash saying something strange*
*Tara getting confused between ‘are you serious’ and ‘oh my god*
Tara: Are you GOD??
Ash: Yes. Yes I am.
When in doubt, make a Kim vomit joke.
I feel an impression of Mr Dodd coming on...
Ben: says something mean*
Me: Yeah, screw you.
Ben: Thankyou. I'm going to take that as a compliment.
Ben: Paul, would you also like to invite me to be screwed?
“And I miss you like my left arm

– London Still by The Waifs. This, and Since I’ve Been Around, are amazingly remniscent of how I can and have felt while I’ve been in the UK. Well, the second one is more how I think I feel when I get home. Also possibly cos it’s set where I’ll be headed back to, Adelaide.
Ah,...

What if?
It doesn’t seem like a possibility anymore, more of a certainty. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to brave 6 more months by myself.
What if?
The possibility that Brooke will go home and I’ll be left here alone is steadily rising, which has left me pondering how I would go if she does decide to leave. I was quite independent back home, but back there I had a huge resource of friends and family to draw upon when I was in need. Here, we know precious few people, and we haven’t known them for that long. I don’t have my...
Tick tock.
Dull grey clouds pass overhead, bringing with them a sense of gloom and despair. Oddly beautiful, in the most upsetting of ways. The green of the grass seems less vibrant, the trees appear half dead. The only optimistic piece of this scene can be found in the fading sun reflected on the windows of the old building, and even that grandeur is fragmented when viewed through the bars that surround....
Ugh, I want the new Little Birdy album. I forgot...
I only have ‘Brother’ off of it, and god I love Little Birdy. Angry they came to Adelaide when I wasn’t there.
“I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill...”
– The Weepies, World Spins Madly On. Popped up on shuffle and brought a tear to my eye. Gorgeous song.
