Okeys so if you want a Christmas card comment here with your name and address and all that junk (I'll screen it) and hopefully I'll remember to post them before the end of the month. I just bought 20-for-a-dollar or something so they'll be really lame but if you're very very good you may get a candy cane ;)

One, two, buckle my shoe

I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe, he was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane, my knees buckled under, I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my life with a song

You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh just for one night
Just for a while

There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away

Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappucino, I said what kind of man makes cappucino
We laughed, we laughed, we laughed, we laughed til tears ran down my face

Oh but my man you're someone else'ss man and that ain't the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lyin' eyes

You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a little wine

There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart
Yes I'll always see your face
The one that got away

I'm not a victim of cliches, I don't believe in soul mates, happy endings only one
Oh and I met you and all that changed, I had a taste and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue

You were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for you first
In my next life

There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart
I'll always see your face
The one that got away

It is now merely a matter of hours until the Great Splendour Adventure 07 begins. There are no words to describe the EXCITEMENT OMG. My iPod is syncing, my bag is packed, my friends are drunk and THIS TIME TOMORROW I WILL BE TOASTING MARSHMALLOWS OVER A CAMPING OVEN AND THIS TIME SUNDAY I WILL BE REELING THROUGH THE STARS WITH KELE OMG.

There's lots more stuff I should talk about but right now nothing really seems quite so important. YAY BYRON.

Anyways, I will be back on Monday night, and I assume that I will be very very very scattered for the next week or so. BUT CALL ME AND ASK ME HOW IT WAS SO I CAN BABBLE AT YOU ANYWAY.

Love to all :) xx

	music	/	i have regina stuck in my head

Wow. It's been 6 weeks since I last posted! That's mental. Don't worry, I have been stalking my flist regardless of this, and I know what pretty much all of you are up to (plus I'm standing under your window right now) even though I can't seem to ever be bothered posting about anything I'm doing. Pretty much because it would mostly be the same stuff - "Tom and I cooked up this amazing feast and then got really really drunk on red wine and watched heaps of 90210!" or "Met up with Coops and Doug and other people and did heaps of x and y (aforementioned codenames due to fear of The Law) and danced til dawn then spent the next twelve hours crawling up the walls" - and eventually that would get really really boring.

But I am at work at the international airport now and have nothing in the world to do so I figured I would post to kill a few minutes. Actually I have a favour to ask: I know at least two of you saw Regina Spektor last week, and I was just wondering if anyone would be able to upload her song Samson for me on sendspace or something? Pretty please? I have the damn song stuck in my head and I left iBob at home and when I try to play it on myspace it fucks up my internet. Probably because IE is a piece of shit, but I don't know whether I'm allowed to download firefox. (which i guess is probably a moot point if i'm downloading music, lol) Help a sister out? I will give you free coffee!

Apart from that I don't really know what to post.. life is pretty standard. I'm going to Bathurst this Friday with Tom and Krystyna, have booked in with my brother to a Harry Potter thing in the morning so I can get the shiny shiny book bright and early, plus I think I get free breakfast too. Yay! At some point too Tom and I are going to visit Kieran if we can ever get ahold of him - he's been back in the country for like 3 weeks and not a peep. It's nice to know you're loved, lol. Coming back home on Sunday afternoon.

This afternoon I am going to see TRANSFORMERS with the effervescent muffytaj if my workmate doesn't fuck me over and make me cover her shift this afternoon. 16hrs straight of work is asking a little much I think, even if it is just sitting on my ass watching dvds and compiling my vege cookbook. Oh, on the subject of that -- I am compiling a vege cookbook! lol. So if you have a super awesome recipe/s that are vegetarian or easily adapted to be vegetarian, send 'em on over! I will write your name in flowery writing and stick pictures in and everything. Any kind of food, whether it be breakfast food, drinks, cookies, crazy stuff without a category that tastes really good, or even if you just have some cooking tips. I really want to start cooking more interesting stuff and add some variety to my diet. (definitely NOT the spice of bad ;))

Well I think that's about it really.. next week I am working all week (pfft, who needs the first week of uni, not me), Saturday night is Coops' 21st and I think Sammy is coming to visit as well.. my 11-yr-old brother is staying with me Tuesday and Wednesday night which should be interesting haha. He's performing at the Opera House with a combined band thing (he plays a mean trumpet) which I'm going to see on Thursday night. Andddd yup I really have nothing else to say. Hope everybody is having a good day :) I am sitting right across from the automatic doors and it's FUCKING FREEZING. But anyways. Adios!

Oh yeah: if anybody wants a box of krispy kremes while I'm here, just let me know!

stressed

I am up to my neck in visions - and this work expresses my sole emotions, spring-heeled elation, the roaring street scene captured on paper! - or whee, the starry sky whirls about the red head, the tram clangs onto the scene, the telephones ring, a woman giving birth cries out, while knuckledusters and knives sleep peacefully in the stylish sheaths of pimps. Ah, and the labyrinth of mirrors, their gardens of street magic! where Circe changes people into swine, a comical loden hat and coat, or the rum-tum-tiddle walk at the Patéphone, where listeners are held fast by the ear and gramophone music is the palms and the ships you sail away on - or the songs of the signs, the golden 'ronde' of letters - and the nights red as port, nights that eat away your kidneys, nights when the moon and contagion and a ratty hackney driver all come together and a victim has been strangled in the dust-choked coal cellar - oh that city feeling!

God, I hate uni work. It's so BORING. Okay yes I get to watch Charlie Chaplin dancing breadrolls across a table a billion times over but what is with this whole you have to PROVE that you're learning stuff? I mean I'm paying the money for this shit, it should really be MY concern over whether I've actually learned anything. Blah blah can't get a degree without being able to show you know the crap you're supposed to know BLAH BLAH I DON'T CARE. Who actually needs an arts degree anyway, apart from pointless cycle-perpetuating academics, writers and wankers who need something to do with their time. I fall under the third category, just so we're clear.

I mean, what is an arts degree but watching theatresports, half-heartedly attending rallies (you're an arts student; not political sciences. beret-topped artfag, not crazy flag-wielding dreadlocked left extremist) and getting really, ridiculously hammered at manning on a tri-weekly basis? Usually after you've decided to blow off aforementioned rally because you can hear the eardrum-shattering shriek of a tiny, militant feminazi all the way from Parramatta Rd screeching about the school of nursing.

This is mostly just because I really don't want to do this fucking analysis (even though it's the lesser of most of the evils I'm up against this semester), but also because I am so disillusioned with the whole idea of an arts degree. Why the hell does it EXIST? Yeah alright it depends on your subjects but god has our society become a load of pretentious wank. Does knowing the mise-en-scene of a Chaplin film help get a kid off the street? Does the ability to bullshit on about Jaques Lacan and Adorno and their stupid theories of modernist crap help millions of people in Africa dying from aids? I wanted to do something meaningful with my life goddammit. And even the fact that I'm sitting here ranting about how useless what I'm doing is is so fucking stupid and self-serving. Ugh. People SUCK, most of all me

I hope everybody spent sufficient time in mourning for our lord over this most hallowed of public holidays. Much alcohol was consumed in rememberance, I'm sure :p

I spent the weekend in Bathurst for Sammy's 21st, which was heaps of fun despite the fact that I'm all jacked up on antibiotics therefore couldn't enjoy the spiked punch like everybody else. Instead I sort of played hostess and drove everybody home afterwards haha. Arent I good. Anyways I bought her a scarf and a MINI DONUT MAKER because I'm awesome. But she is more awesome and that's what counts really :)

It's Emma's birthday today .. and before midday I had gone for a run, made breakfast for my brother (who is staying for the week), dropped him off with his brother to go to the easter show (and he has strict instructions to bring me back an awesome showbag), baked and iced a cake and made pancakes for emma for breakfast. lol. I kinda like this getting up early thing! Especially since baking the cake actually involved me going and buying a baking tin, because our flat is deficient.

I was gonna go out and ping the night away in the cross last night but I'm still on antibiotics and shit so I figured it probably wasn't a good idea.. plus the whole brother thing. I think Doug is having a thing on Wednesday night at Ashfield however so i may drop by that and say hello to the friends who were out last night .. heh, Coops called me at 5am and left the funniest message, "hey man its coops, just calling to say, i'm really fucking high. ummmm you shouldve come out, an awesome time was had but you stayed home and looked after your brother, who i most definitely can't mention narcotics around. anyway everything is awesome, i'm awesome, you're awesome, we're going back to my place to smoke weed all day. i'll call you tomorrow. or later. after i wake up. bye." that was about the gist of it. Oh I love my friends XD

Annnyway not entirely sure what I'm doing at the moment, I might go hang with Emma and Steve or go for another run or something. I've already done so much today and its only 3:30, aaagh. Too many hours in the day! I should probably study but its a public holiday. no work is ALLOWED to be done. so i will obey the law.

Amanda did an awesome recap of the Augie March concert we went to a couple weeks ago, check out her journal for that.. I uploaded the vid I took of One Crowded Hour, and it can be found right here on sendspace :) it should also be uploaded on youtube in the next day or so if you don't want to download it, but I'll probably put something on myspace about that so yeeeah.

It was my birthday on Monday! I was all okay about turning 20 until yesterday when I realised that in 10 years, I will be 30. Hoooly fucking christ with a cupcake. Tom and I have decided that for our 30ths we are going to hold funerals instead of parties, ala Brian on Queer As Folk. So yeah you're all invited, black tie is a must. Hopefully by the time I am 30 I will have achieved more than I achieved by 20, hahaha. I'm trying to think of significant events and so far there has been a disturbing lack! Or else they're just all pretty lame.

Tickets for the Silverchair show at the Enmore in May are going on presale on Friday at 12 noon, anybody want one? I don't CARE if I am supposed to be working at that time, I WILL be sitting on ticketek, madly hitting f5. You just see if I'm not.

Oh yeah and I finally bought the new Kaiser Chiefs album this afternoon at fish - haven't given it a listen yet but i'm hopeful! over and out :)

OH LJ I HAVE MISSED YOU. I FEEL WE ARE DRIFTING APART AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT *clings and doesnt let go*

anyway. How is everybody? Even though I only update once in a blue moon it doesn't mean I'm not STALKING YOU ALL via the friends list. Mostly it's because I just.. really do not have anything of interest to say. Well I guess it's interesting to SOMEBODY out there (like that dude peering in my window right now. what a creepy fucker) and of course it's interesting to ME but also there is the devil to contend with. IE myspace hahaha. I obsessively check that for new comments but since I don't do a whole lot of commenting myself then there's not a whole lot of commenting that other people are giving ME. But I digress.

Sooooo uni starting back next weeeeek... aren't we all EXCITED?! I worked at the market day thingy on Wednesday, that was pretty lame. Although I enrolled to vote! So yay me for that. And cuz it still says on my license that I live in Bathurst, and I will actually BE in Bathurst on election day, I will be voting for the Calare district. Read: Peter Andren. Because he is a lovely lovely man who my old nextdoor neighbour writes speeches for. But back to UNI! Because I know you are all waiting with BATED BREATH to hear what I have to say on the matter.. except like not really. My timetable is okay, except for the FOUR HOUR LECTURE OF DOOM on Tuesdays for film. But I suspect that will be mostly watching film or not even being there, like it was for art history last semester. Anyway, I won't be going to many classes first week. None of my tutes start til week 2 and all the lectures are generally blah blah you'll be learning THIS this semester, isnt that exciting?? and I would prefer to be making more money that I can spend at manning on later dates when I dont actually have an excuse for not being in class. Speaking of, I picked up the first issue of Honi Soit (our uni newspaper, it is HILARIOUS) and it completely made my week. Oh honi how I have missed thee and thy utter lack of political correctness. It's fabulouso, which basically means oh so fabulous.

MARDI GRAS TOMORROW! I was going to write that in sparkly rainbow text but then I just really couldn't be bothered making the effort with the color codes and shit. So we'll have to settle for my Kylie icon instead, which is probably the most mardi gras-centric icon that I possess in my arsenal of kick-ass iconry. Anyway I will be watching the parade from Belinda's rooftop, which is just above Oxford St, and she is MAKING FAIRY BREAD cuz she's awesome like that, and then maybe going out with some other dudes from uni (Doug and Bernard but not Coops. I dont know why?) or else going to Imperial with B & co. The night shall decide. I can't decide whether to wear my slightly rainbow-ish dress that I bought ages ago for new years and STILL haven't worn, or this really cute royal blue satin dress I bought today at elvis4cleo. Decisions, decisions. Although either way I have no idea what shoes I will wear or whet - hey, I might buy tan fishnets to wear too. Okay END RANDOM CLOTHES BABBLE, if you wanna hang out then just gimme a buzz :) all of you who matter have my phone number. And those who dont well you probably know somebody who does have it.

I'm trying to think whether there's anything else that I need to report on... but there's not really. Just same old same old, got drunk last night with dudes from BBNT (and i think they got in trouble this morning, oooops) and have been chugging away at my Carmen Electra dvds. I started learning a hiphop dance today! I have a suspicion I may suck at it but you know, whatever *hair flip* oh yeah and i discovered last night that my jeans fit so hence went shopping today. But only where there were sales! its all okay.

WELL i think that's enough spam to tide everyone over for a week or so til I update next! Life is pretty damn good at the moment, and endorphins ROCK. I have, like, stomach muscles. Who'da thunkit?

Peace, love and pills.

This is mostly a post of I HAVE A REALLY CUTE ICON. My mum sent me this "if women ruled the world" email and that was one of the pics, and I loved it a lot. Feel free to steal if you want!

I'm going to see Regurgitator tonight at the Gaelic club. Tres excitemente! The downside is that I've had 3 hours sleep in the past two days, so it's possible I might fall asleep before they actually come on stage. Also, I have to work at 6:30 tomorrow morning again. After that I'm hopping a train back to Bathurst for the weekend! Which is actually really exciting. I need to get out of the city and like.. see some stars. And breathe some air! It will be great. So if you're there and you want me (i know you do), call me. I will put aside my hatred of OMG MEDUSA. And dance! Mobile if you don't have it is 0423397033. Gimme some lovin'!

Oh, and if anyone wants to come see Augie March with Amanda and I on 18th March, let me know and I'll get you a ticket cuz they're just up the road from me. woot!

tired

Sooo I haven't really updated in a while because I have been TAKEN HOSTAGE BY THE DEVIL. Oh yes, it has happened. I said it never would.. and I staunchly stood by that.. but then I realised, hey, why do I care so much? I have no pride anyway and figured I would jump on the lame-ass bandwagon that is myspace. Eh, I'm hypocritical. Who isn't? I'm not defending the thing at all lol.

But mostly I haven't posted because my life for the past few weeks has basically consisted of WORK WORK MORE WORK. Which nobody really wants to hear about, least of all me. (ps, you know what sucks most about myspace? you can't friend yourself) But I have monies now, which is a big improvement on my previous situation of about $100 a fortnight to live on. I'm even saving some of it! I think centrelink are going to fuck me sideways because I'm earning too much, but I'm done caring about that. A plus side of doing stupid hours at the airport (like 2-10pm then starting again at 6:30 the next morning) is that I'm more organised about the rest of my time (except for sleeping. I am so far behind on that I think I will spend the last two years of my life in a coma to compensate) and so everything is getting done at the right time and I've had more incentive to DO STUFF like exercise and, um, read. So I've shed some pounds which is good. I bought a pair of tsubis (i know right? i'm a TOTAL SELLOUT. isnt it great? but they only cost $45 at an opshop so i figured BARGAIN) that are a scoach too small so I made a pact with myself to not buy ANY MORE CLOTHES until they fit me. So far it's working, except for the bikini I bought on Thursday but that totally didn't count because I was going to the beach that afternoon with Bayden and my pink bikini doesnt fit me anymore. Oh and HAHAHA today I bought on dvd .. wait for it .. Carmen Electra's FIT TO STRIP DANCERS WORKOUT. Bahahahaha. Isn't that awesome? I rented the first one yesterday just to try it, Tom was watching me do it and laughing his ass off. It's basically 10 steps to becoming a whore. Fun for the whole family! It's a pretty good tape though, really works your thighs and your butt and stuff, plus it's actually FUN. You learn dances and stuff. Besides, I get a discount at almost every store in the airport, including Sanity (i know where i'm buying MY cds from now on) so it was only $45 for about.. 5 or 6 discs? Whatever, it's hot.

Kristy and Scott are staying tonight and we might be partying on down at karaoke at Kelly's if anybody wants to join. It's always fun! Plus cheap drinks and I HAVE MONEY. Awesome. Oh I forget to talk about how Jaimes poured an ENTIRE BEER down my skirt and legs last night and then jumped out the second floor window of the Townie. But that's a story for another day.

Today shopfront and I went to visit muffytaj in Ashfield. We took her candy and chocolate and music and I stole flowers from a frangipani tree and much fun was had by all. Lunar and I teamed up on Muffy in the 4 year old's boardgame and WE WERE VICTORIOUS! Well, at least, I was. heh. She is possibly coming over here on the weekend sometime (for the sole purpose of the internets haha). But from what I could tell she's pretty good and is settling in okay, which is a relief cuz I love her tons and it makes me sad to see her sad :(

And then I got home and washed the dishes.. I'm supposed to be going to the Imperial for the Sound of Music & Wizard of Oz drag shows but Tom doesn't wanna come so I may just wait and go with him next week. I'm pretty tired anyways and I told shopfront that I would look over her Dark Angel fic, and I may just be inspired to write something myself! Plus there's season 8 of Charmed to watch, and OTH to catch up on. Not that I have really had a night out in the past week or so, but still, a night in at HOME will be nice.

I got my roster for next week and omg, I want to kill it. I have 6:30-10:30 EVERY EFFING DAY. Yes, that's in the a.m. God fucking dammit. Dad wanted me to go down to Bathurst, too. I might call Shamira and see if she wants to swap two of my shifts for one of hers, she likes doing mornings for some unfathomable reason.

In other news, I'm thinking about changing my LJ name. It's not a definite, and I still really love this name, but does anyone have any suggestions just in case I get the whim to change it one day? Song lyrics are always a good bet, cuz I'm emo like that.

Alrighty off to lookit Lunar's fic. If there are any Dark Angel fans there, you guys should totally read it when she posts it, either on corycian or shopfront cuz she's super. Adios, mon bucket.
