SCIENCE BALL TIME...!

Tickets go on sale on tuesday morning, so I need to confirm who wants to come! (i think i pretty much know, but just to make sure....)

Kate and I are organising 3 tables and because i am rather poor at them moment it would be great if you could give either of us $80 as soon as possible (we have to pay for the rest of the table within 7 days).

Also, we have about 5 spare places at the moment so if you know of anyone who is interested, let me know asap!!!

excited!

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 07:52:57 GMT

Friday August 3, playing at the Toff if anyone is interested in joining us.
We are each booking tickets separately, so if you would like to come along go here.
(Tickets are about $15.)
Possibly followed by Bloc Party afterparty at Eurotrash.
Let me know if you are coming!!

Emma was right!!!

SEE PEOPLE!
it does exist!
(It wasnt just a crazy family thing.....just a safer, less extreme version)

Chinese Fire Drill

Thanks Wiki!!!

I also found a picture of the naked mole rat (i was telling people about it today).
i think it looks kinda cute, in an ugly way, but i decided not to post a photo of it cos i thought it might gross people out a bit too much.
Google it.

For those who dont know and are interested:

DVD night.
my house (around 7.30?)
you are all welcome!

After everybody getting sick and stuff recently, i thought i was coming down with a cold last night.
But i think (or hope!) it was just allergies.
my fingers are crossed all the same.

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 11:43:22 GMT

hannah and i have been trying to plan an outing to see Hot Fuzz.
So.
if anyone is free, come along on THURSDAY night to FOREST HILL (yes, i know)
there are 2 sessions - 6.50 and 9.20.
which would people prefer?

Sat, 24 Feb 2007 06:21:40 GMT

its good to be home and catching up with people again.
especially now that katies home!!!!
i think i will get bored very quickly though. i suppose its a good thing that uni is starting again. not that i am really enthused about starting again.
anyway, finally i have had time to put up some photos of thailand!

the rest are at my flickr if you are interested!

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:53:13 GMT

well, its our final night in Bangkok.
as kate would say, *tear.
i am going to miss this place.
the last few days have been super super busy - we have been making up for lost time.
its been very hot too.
today we went on a tour to the former capital city and came back on a boat on the river. we were the youngest people there by far, which was pretty funny. but our tour guide was awesome.
yesterday we went to the zoo! that was pretty great. oh and we got stopped by some thai girls who wanted to take our photo. heehee.
we also went to this mansion which was far more trouble than it was worth because we didnt want a tour, so we went for a quick walk through the gardens only to get whistled at by this nazi guard guy. and it wasnt as if we had been anywhere off limits.
another weird place we went to was this monastry, which (as you do) had a tiny pond and cage containing a couple of HUGE crocodiles. creepy! crocodiles are very scary hannah and i decided.
Ok.
GET THIS.
yesterday, when we were doing some last minute shopping we somehow managed to start talking with this guy in one of the shops and it turns out that he used to be the thai ambassador in Australia. so he pulls out this package and tells us how hes going back to Australia on the weekend to give it to John Howard as a present from the thai king!
he also told us some great stories about when he took the crown prince around australia.
Then we talk some more and he invites us to come to his swanky hotel tonight for drinks!!!!!
how random is that?!
so yeh, we are here filling in time before heading off to meet him.
the world is a crazy place.

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 05:23:53 GMT

well, our trip so far has been pretty quite, mainly due to the fact that I CANT FRICKIN TALK. so hannah and i have spent a lot of time nodding at each other and using hand signals.
i think i need to invest in a little whiteboard so i can write down what i want to say.
yesterday was eventful tho, because we went to the hospital to see a doctor. and praise the lord he gave me some MUCH stronger medication so hopefully now i will actually start getting better.
but waste of four days much on the other stuff.
so, yeh, i have spent a fair amount of time in the hotel room. but last night we got room service so that was fairly exciting.
we did go to a traditional thai house today, and we have been shopping a bit. the other night we went to a night market and went for a ride on the biggest ferris wheel you have ever seen!
there is so much food here, it is unbelievable. if i was able to eat i would be stuffing my face because honestly, there is stuff on every corner!
it has been quite fun venturing out to find dinner each night and we have visited some really nice little restaurants.
i should go, but hi to everyone and i hope you are all having fun!
missing you.

i really haven't posted properly for a very long time.

i keep meaning to but then i end up being busy or having to leave so there is never enough time. like tonight.
quickly though, i cannot convey just how much i enjoy holidays. although i know all these people who complain that they get bored and after a while cannot wait to go back to uni, i dont think that will ever be me. which is a shame because it would be nice to be able to look forward to studying that much.
anyway, this week has been pretty busy - i have been trying to work heaps cos i really need that money, money, money and in between i have been bbqing, shopping, making cakes, shopping, watching tv, more shopping, going to the first meeting of the inaugural bookclub etc etc. oh and today i went to the zoo and we saw the cutest litle orangutang, the elephants and the bear, which was swimming. so it kinda feels like i have been on holidays for ages but really its only been a week. although i feel that these holidays are going to flash by really quickly

does anyone want to join me on....

MONDAY:
$5 movie day at Nova..... Lilian and I want to see Shortbus which is on at one. so feel free to come along to that or come and watch another film if its not your thing.
we're meeting at 12.30ish outside the box office.

THURSDAY:
Karaoke again!!! leanne can't come on thursdays normally but she is free this week!!! so tell everyone and come along this thursday for extreme karaoke!!!
10pm at the Great Britain in Richmond!!!!

I think Jason is trying to organise a picnic on Friday..... are ppl free then? let me know and if not we can organise it for another day!

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 04:36:41 GMT

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 10:10:02 GMT

last night we went to see La Clique at the spiegeltent and it was SO GOOD!!!!!!
its really hard to explain to people but it was amazingly great.
if you get the chance i recommend you go.
srsly.

anyway, the highlight of the night was this guy........

i had the best weekend and i was very sad when it ended.

jody being a cool movie star

kate trying to look like bob dylan (who was on her t-shirt)

emo for breakfast?!

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 07:26:00 GMT

well.
FINALLY.
i finished my ecology assignment.
or rather, i've given up on my ecology assignment.

like everyone else, i appear to be perfecting my procrastinating skills.
there is far too much other stuff to be doing.

[this is my brain.......
"assignments.... pfft."]

anyway, tomorrow i leave on a plane.
which i am excited about (plane food!)
but also nervous....
as i am flying by myself, i have to make my way to the airport, check in correctly and get onto the right plane.
i bet something goes wrong.
oh and emma, when i stop at brisbane for an hour, i will say hi from you.

well, i hope everyone has a good weekend.
i will see ye all when i get back!

lost sheep.....

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 08:20:43 GMT

i have been meaning to post this for ages!!!
i am so excited that i finally found it!!!

Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:08:21 GMT

Is anyone free on saturday?

I want to have a PICNIC!

first day back....

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 06:22:44 GMT

well, it was the first day of semester and now that the excitement of seeing people again after the holidays and finding friends in classes has subsided, it pretty much feels as if i have never been away.
However, i do enjoy the first week as there is no pracs, and i pretty much finish by lunch every day. also, tomorrow all i have is prac so i get a day off!! woo!

i am going to die when uni goes back.

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 04:41:58 GMT

I got yelled at by a very angry lady on the phone last night.

well, i guess it had to happen eventually.

however, i thought the swearing and calling me stupid was slightly unnecessary.

especially as i was being super nice to her.

oh well. i had a few nice people so i guess the night wasnt so bad.
and i had another exam which didnt go to badly, so that made me happy.
however, it did help that they repeated three questions from last years exam.

tonight i am working again.
tomorrow i have coffee plans. and a msn arrangement.
and then i am probably going out on fri and sat nights.
however, as i will still be studying for my last exam i am trying to decide if this is wise.
it is very hard to say no.
plus, sat night is my last shift at La Porchetta!!! yay!

cookies!!

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 07:28:31 GMT

my sister is baking cookies.
they smell really good.
plus, i got to eat the left over dough.
hopefully, they will look like this....

seriously, this is the most exciting thing that has happened to me all day.

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 07:32:50 GMT

i dont know why i am posting.
well, really i do.
procrastination.
but i dont have much to say.

it is cold.
and i am bored.

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 07:03:42 GMT

i changed my background.

who knows if it will work any better.

and in honour of my Australian Wildlife Study.....

BATS!!! this one is called the leaf-nosed bat.
it is a microbat! (YAY! i know exactly one fact for my exam!)

this is one of the cutest photos i have ever seen....

penguins! i cannot wait until happy feet comes out at the movies!!!!
poor little thing. i think he wants to fly.

how can charlene think possums are evil?!!!

this one is my absolute, all time favourite.

because everyone else is posting photos.

I wish i didnt have to study,
but i do enjoy this subject so its not too bad.
except it is making me procrastinate coz i do not want to do genetics.

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 05:33:29 GMT

who is unable to see my spike background?

coz maybe i will change it.

plain black is a bit boring....

also, people are updating faster than i can read!!!
its quite amazing.
