the day santa claus got fired

Hmm... it's a sad day in my family today. A bunch of people got fired from my mums work today, a lot of which were family friends.
One man that got laid off was a really, really good friend of everyone in my house. I did work experience with him, he was my mums mentor... kinda, and my dads drinking buddy at corporate events. But i think the thing that will stay in everyones mind is Santa.

At the Channel 9 Kids Chirstmas party at the end of each year, Santa would come and giver all the kids aged under 13 years a present. And he was mighty generous too! We got cameras and bikes and barbir doll houses and personal organisers and really cool things like that, Uncle Kerry took care of the bill of course. But it was Santa that made them special. But now there will be no more Santa... becuase he was fired too. *sniff*

No one will ever replace Russ/Santa.

"breath in for luck, breath in so deep, this air is blessed you share with me."

I just stumble upon'd (yes, it does look like bad grammar, but its really not) a super interesting theory about the 9/11 (ben lee's birthday) terrorist attacks on the Pentagon. Check it out, it's pretty freaky.

I didn't know what to think of it so i did some research... I found this
But it still doesn't explain a lot, like what happened to the wings of the aircraft? I mean, we've all been stuck with the crappy seat on a plane pretty much on top of the wings (well, i think thats a good seat, it's interesting to watch all the parts move and stuff) - THE WINGS ARE HUGE!!! How could there just be no evidence of them. Intesting stuff eh!

I would look into it more, but i really can't be bothered. I just like watching the movie. It's good.

My New Argentinian Lover. Part 2

Ok guys. The Goldberg family have posted their new pictures of themselves for this year. (Scroll down to the "My New Argentinian Lover" post if you have no idea what I'm on about. or just go here)
And Sebastian is looking mighty HOT!!!
Susy is looking her age. It must be due to Matias, the middle son. I think he is unemployed. Well, he should be if he looks like that. Maybe he's just not a camera person.
Nicolas looks much more like a man this year. Our little boy is growing up. *sniff*
He also looks a bit surprised. Maybe he has a late night.

And good ol' Diego. Ahhh, mate, you haven't changed a bit sinse we last saw you!

But mmm... i can't take my eyes off young Sebastian. Damn he's fine! I don't think i could have his babies though. Imagine the eyebrows of our child. Wait, let me rephrase... Imagine the EYEBROW!!!

- Em xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxox (the extra hugs and kisses were for sebastian goldberg)

I am assai tired

I had to get up at twenty five minutes past eight this morning. AH!!! the first day of the holidays, and i was up at the crack of dawn. It was horrible.

I am getting really pro at putting my contacts in and taking them out now. I can do it first time nearly every go. WOO! GO ME!!!

I had a brass ensemble rehursal this morning. 9am untill 12pm. It was hell. Actually, thats a lie, it was pretty fun. However i managed to embarrass myself many times. ugh.
Anyway, to the point of my little story here. So we were all in Room 2 in the music school and we were half way through one of our songs... when out the corner of my eye i see a flash of fluorescent blue dart across the door. Then a few seconds later in comes Mr Bain and his flashy road bike and his fluorescent get-up. 'Twas hot. (sarcasm... but wait...) then he stayed around for a sec then went out again. But when he came back in... oh my. (i know this is super weird... cos he is my teacher but meh. what do i care) He had on these assai hot jeans and a tee. mmm...
But then he put his little fluorescent blue lycra top thing over the top because he was cold. But i couldn't stop looking at his jeans.They were so cool! They were dark blue/black with slight fading, i really want some.

Somehow i managed to walk away from the day with a new nickname... "Cookie" hmm.
Yeah. And that was my morning.

- Em xoxo

p.s There are tonnes of formal photos around, like here and here and also here.

Saturday, June 25, 2005

i have crap in my ear. get it out.

ok. i think i should document the night in words before i forget it.

Here is Friday/Saturday Days/Nights in chronological order.

yuck. i just found some really gross shit in my ear. anyway... too much information. eh. fuck it. what do i care. Here we go.

- Woke up on Friday Morning, had a shower and shaved my legs and did ghey stuff like that.
- Got eyebrows waxed
- Went to school. Started off with 20 mins of a free period, then recess, then psych, then english, then left.
- Got hair done with Salona and Megan.
- Went home and watched Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone with Megan whilst eating icecream and with megan doing my nails (very nicely as well, but they look like rat shit at the moment because of all the fricken crap in my ear. i have no idea what it all is. its nothing that my body would produce. its all foreign. meh.)
- Got Ready without megan... cos she went home.
- Went to Megans before-party. It rocked. got loads of mad photos which will be posted at a later date when i don't feel so damn filthy.


- Limo arrived. got in. Our driver was called Ron. But i wish we got Amy's Limo. Cos their driver was hot. Fuck this crap in my ear. i swear someone has like mashed biscuits into my ear.

- Went feral in the limo. Cheering everything that had 2 legs. I even managed to get everyone to cheer a shop that had trombones in it.

- Got to formal. Almost pissed behind a bush. but restrained myself. There was a massive line to get in, but thankfully there was a hot security guard who made the wait much nicer.

- Had trouble walking up the stairs.
- Took a leak. found out Bianca (who was completely smashed) had the same hairdresser as me. hot stuff.
- Couldent be fucked waiting for the hand-dryer so i walked out of the toilet with wet hands, to find the school principal, and all his douchebag friends waiting for me (well... not just for me, he was waiting for everyone) to shake his hand. So lucky him, he got to shake my lovely wet hand. mmm... wet hands.
- Got in and did the meet and greet thing.
- after a long search, eventually found our table, which was table number 14. Brilliant position - back corner, right next to the teachers table. hot stuff.
- Danced, mingled and perved.
- Then whilst half mingling, half perving on other peoples dates, i hear the familiar sound of *stomp.* *clap...* *stomp* *clap.* *stomp.* *clap...* *stomp* *clap.* - which for those of you who have no imagination as to what these words actually represent, i am trying to convey to you, my fricken audience, that i heard the start of "Catch my Disease" by none other, that the fabulous Ben Lee. So i grab Chrissy and rush over to the dance floor and try to find my gangstar ben lee buds. And we went mental during the song. I could barely hear the actual song, and bens voice, we were too busy making our own music. It was beautiful. Walking away from that song, i swear to god i heard like 3 different sets of people (some of who i didn't know) comment on how awesome that song was, just because EVERYONE was joining in. It was fucking beautiful. no joke. i loved it. it was possible the highlight of my night.
- Ate food. There was a steak meal and a chicken meal. i was given the chicken, but i swapped with megan because she doesnt eat red meat.



- Danced, mingled and perved. - The "Dancing with the Staff" thing was cool. hot even. But Kitch and Ms Symes soooo should have won. they were fucking awesome.
- I can't remember when it was, but the awards were great. Beautiful Isabel Hede (of Black Tennis Dress fame) got Queen, and Thom (does he still spell it tHom?) McCarthy got King. I cheered so hard when they called Iz' name out. we all stood up and went mental. And her hat she got was hot. Conor Robinson got something like most original dress, and James Elephanty got "most likely to hook up" - heh. such a joke. kinda mean tho.
- Danced, Mingled and Perved.
- We eventually got "Wait and Bleed" played. Last week Polly made a petition so as slipknot was played, and... well... THEY WERE!!! WOO HOO!!! we all went feral. well, as much as we could - my hair hurt if i head banged, and i probably would have exploded out of my dress if i jumped too hard.
- I also got tonnes of photos taken. Like... professionally.

Ok. im sleepy now. i will finish this off ASAP - possibly tomorrow. hot.


Its now 1.36pm on Sunday. I feel like absolute crap. i am sick. however, i shall continue as i am likely forget everything soon.

- Formal ended. yeyness.
- Went back home via my mothers car with Salona, Megan and Vera.

When driving down my street i was telling them about my hot neighbours... and they're gay selection of music. and about how they are hot so it doesn't matter what kind of music they listen to. So anyway, the hot neighbours are having a seedy little gathering in the main hot ones bedroom. But one of them is outside in the street for who knows what reason. We get out of the car to... well... go inside my house, and he comes over to us and is like "hey, who lives here?" and im like "i do" and hes like "oh cool" and im like "yeah, my thoughts exactly" and he's like "wow, i didn't know there were young people in this neigbourhood" and im like "well now you do" and that was my second experience with my hot neighbours.
- We got changed and stuff.
- Went to steves. waited outside in the freezing cold for steves uncle to tick our names off. almost died of coldness.
- Steves was good. kinda cold. and the music was good... the first time. Then after 3 or 4 spins, i just wanted to scratch the CD's. Managed to lick Ravi, Kumiko and Shane. I think i told Jono the majority of my deepest darkest secrets. Also got a fair few out of him... kinda. At one stage James told me it was the first ever time he'd been drunk. quite amusing, but v.believable.
- This next point is a bit random, but i needed these two photos next to each other...
- Ran/jogged back to lisa's house with isabel. then did star jumps. Got changed... got into bed. talked, got goss from lisa and luch. slept for... maybe 2 hours max. Then woke up because the others were loud. gheys. Lisa spilt water all over the floor and everyone thought it was pee/spew. i don't know why i wrote that. it seemed important at the time. Lucy and i stayed in bed until about 11.15 when i got ready to go.

Here are some pictures of the St Leonards College Formal Queen the morning after:
- Went to polly's house, ate her food.
- Left to catch the bus to go to monash university to go and see...
- PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON STAGE SHOW!!! - it rocked. Puff was so cool. except for the slight fact that you could see a man sticking out the back of Puff. He didn't even try to hide the fact that he was a puppeteer, he was wearing BRIGHT BLUE when puff was BRIGHT GREEN!!!
- Missed the bus, so we went and bought chocolate and chips and ate.
- I got off the bus at my stop, then went home, making sure to walk past my hot neighbours house. Slept for an hour, maybe a bit less.
- Got up, ate dinner and then went to Conors
- At conors i got there and almost everybody was watching TV. so i went walkies, and found some randoms out the back near the pidgeons, so i spoke to them for a while until people came. I was talking to a semi-hottie, then kerrie and gen came out and wreaked the vibe. Then all my mates arrived, and i started drinking. and then i got sick. beer and that yellow stuff doesn't go down well. not to mention all the crap that was left in my stomach from last night.
- Ended the night just craching on a matress, on the ground with amy and isabel, who was absolutely delerious.
- Then i came home via megans car (thanks megan!) and yeah. then i started blogging. then i slept.

And that was my weekend up until now. it is currently 3.40 pm. and i started blogging today at 10.56am. its been effortful. but i made it. ahhh. and photos will come soon.

Angus' Story

Hello. This is a story by Angus. NOT ME! Anyway. Yes. ummm... yes.
I better let you all just read. Hmm. yes. Eek.


I began slowly getting up from beneath the covers of my bed today. I was confused and tired as the previous night I had not slept well. Firstly Christy my neighbour's blind bitch (female dog) was barking all night. My neighbour warned us the other week of this as we think she maybe on heat at the moment. To quote my neighbour my dog is so blind and keen for sex that she would even go a cat from behind if it didn't meow. Then after my mind began immune to the wild howling and screaming from next door I thought I had a chance to sleep. WRONG, at this stage my mind became stimulated with the thought of Google, yes that's right when I am alone in a darkened bedroom and could be sleeping I was thinking of Google. I wondered how this new lack of page rank was going to affect this websites hits. I was worried that if I typed, "Emma is Sexy Goddess" into Google that my secret website devoted to the amazing princess Emma may come up. I was spooked that Emma would know that I have taken many photos of her with out her knowing as she walks home in school uniform. But then I thought, it will be alright, the next morning with the push of a few buttons the site will be deleted. My entire plan was betting on the fact Emma wouldn't be online midnight, but who knows, Emma can be very geeky at times.

Anyway, after I had now been thinking about Emma for an entire two hours my mind became weary, but my bowels were not. This was a complicated process, I had to strip the covers off my bed, then drop my satin pyjama pants and silk underwear then discharge all the crap building up in my life. After that I remember the graffiti slogan on the back of the toilet door at school. "If you are reading this then you are doing a crap. Remember to wash, wipe and flush." Thankfully I also remembered that the student who wrote that got it around the wrong order too.

The time for sleep was now upon me, I don't remember much about my dreams except one very random scene in vivid detail. Shane Nolan was dressed in princess leia's metal bikini whilst sitting legs spread on top of Karma the friendly elephant. I couldn't understand if the elephant was doing a happy or angry dance. Either way its trunk was erected high in the sky and blowing our water and its feet were passionately stamping the ground in rhythm to each explosion of water. I tried calling out to Master Nolan to see if he wanted help but the words weren't coming out of my mouth. I looked down at my body to find I was naked, in fact I was more than just naked, I was snaking slithering along the ground like a well lubricated piece of machine. Then suddenly the elephant began to run away into the distance, he was too fast to try and chase.

That was my dream, which now brings me back to getting out of bed confused and tired, wondering if that was a nightmare or wet dream which I didn't manage to get it up for. I am choosing to move on with my day and feel as though some much needed breakfast comprising of thick buttery pancakes smothers in honey along side a serving of hot sausages all flushed down by a strawberry milkshake will go a treat.


Yes. That was Angus' story. I hope you all enjoyed that.
And I can't believe I just posted it. Oh my gosh. What have I become?

funny story

hi everyone, it's noni!

i've been asked to tell you the story of the day phlegma needed the toilet...so here we go...

on wednesday, megan, phlegm and i went to book our hair appointments for the formal. phlegm kept complaining about her weak bladder and the fact that she really needed to "pee". now, if you remember the weather on wednesday you'll also remember it to be a very cold and windy day...

so anyway, while waiting for the train at hampton station to take us to north brighton station we decided to hide from the wind by sitting in a little nook with benches.

after the occasional puppy attack by megan (if you know megan you'll know exactly what i'm talkin about), a few randoms that had come and gone preferring to get away from the exciteable puppy, an old lady decided to try her luck in the corner. it was very quiet, and all you could hear were the occasional mumblings of a man on his phone.

so phlegm decides to take this quiet opportunity to voice her frustrations. it was freezing cold and we were all huddling to keep warm, so phlegm says...

"ooh cold-ness"

followed by...

"ooh sore-ness"

and then!

"ooh 'pee'-ness"

now if you'll be so kind as to repeat this out loud, you'll understand why megan and i could not stop laughing...

this is made funnier by her new nickname, chlamydia.

so now chlamydia can be quoted as saying "ooh pee-ness"

guest blogger, noni.

World Jump Day

Hey guys, we can all end global warming! I've signed up. and well... check it out here
THey don't have our timezone. but we just have to jump at 21.39.13 (9.40pm)

You know, melbourne is a seaside town, so we could all be underwater in 100 years. DO IT FOR THE KIDS!!!

- Em xoxo

this minestroni looks like vomit

s just been a crap day. and to top it off, my cup-a-soup minestroni looks gross. but it tastes good. kinda.

So as i sit here in my purple boxer-shorts and my school jumper, and contemplate my day... i just feel like poo. If feelings could look like a food. My feelings would be my soup.


So yes. This morning i get to band and i see Jono wandering around outside randomly. i didn't think much of this because well... it's jono and who knows what he could be up to. So we greet and he tells me that we have a new trombone girl in band. I am shocked at this becuase the only other chick (i thought) that plays trombone at our school is Steph in year 8. I used to babysit her, so that would just be weird. But i thought wrong. It was the new euphoneum girl, not only is she amazing at eupho, pretty, smart and talented at everything... she also plays trombone. But from the sounds of it she was... ahh... how do I put this (eh. who cares, i just complimented her 4 times) she is crap. Although i seem to be the only one that thinks this. Everyone else wnats to demote me from 1st trombone... to 4th. NO JOKE!!! Next week i am playing 4th trombone from then on. ugh. ANGRY!!! ANGRY!!! ANGRY!!!

"close to the edge, this is a dream i had when i was young, so young. you're taking me over. i want, i want, i want DESIRE!!!"

Hello all. I was back at school today. Not that i've really been away. Because it's not holidays, but there has just been no real need for me to go to school for the past week and a bit. However, in that time i have had about 8 hours worth of exams. FUN!!!

From now on, Angus or "A" is going to be writing all his comments in ASCII code (binary code), as that what he thinks is cool. If you want to translate it all, you can go here to translate it.

And next week, Amy and I are not going to actually be Amy and Emma, we are going to be known as Tori and JD, and we are going to be beutiful and talented. Tori will be able to play anything on the piano becuase she is a whiz and is amazing and beutiful... and i want her chin. And I, JD; will be super funny and smart and I will break out into really cool choreographed dance moves. Pity i'm not JD for the formal. i'd be busting the coolest moves on the dance floor. I wish i could dance. pity i can't. Anyway, so next week, i will only answer to JD and amy will only answer to Tori.

ugh. school tomorrow. ugh.
yey! music lesson tomorrow! yey! (and thats not because my teacher is slightly attractive... so shush!)

Amy's Butt

Hello all. As you all know. Amy is cool, and she loved my "wonderfulness of Amy" post so bad, she went to the extreme, and tatooed her butt for me. i'm sure she won't mind me putting up a giant image of her ass on my blog. but here goes...



- Em xoxo

who took the ram?

wow. i just found the coolest computer. its made of LEGO!!!

LEGO Computer
It's pretty good too! personally i would have given it a bit more hard drive space. and maybe a better graphics card. But i love it how it has the little windows to vent, and the DVD drive has the clear things... that pop up. heh. i like it.

- Em xoxo

hey, it's like salona's... but not.

hello all. what's news?

I just found this cool site, (and it has a interview with JD Samson... total coincidence i swear!) and at first i thought it said "salonas" but it doesn't. it's called solanas so excuse me for making the mistake. Anyway, if you go to the third one, which is actually the first one, there are some really brave stories there.

Oh, and for all those that have been wondering, JD's real name is Jocelyn Samson. I would love to say that it's a very beautiful name. but it really isn't. at all. it's horrible, i know why she changed it.

- Em xoxoxo

p.s the george w bush poster is really yucky. but good. if you know what i mean. anyway, i was to scared to open the others, so someone else do it for me and tell me if they are good.

who took the bomp?

My hot neighbours are having a party thing at the mo. and normally they have super gay dance "doof doof" music. And not much has changed, now they have regained a smidgeon of credibility. They just played the dance remix of Le Tigre's "Deceptacon" mmm... i love that song. "Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor, I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you!!!"

heh. i love it. "who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?"

Pity it was the dance remix. its better to dance to in its original actually. i don't know why they SLOWED it down.

In other music news, it's official, the stone roses will not re-form.

In general Emma news. i went to geelong today. and the you yangs... and even fairyland. but it was closed. nice drive though.

- Em xoxo

don't you someties just feel like a barbie doll sitting on a park bench dressed in a pumpkin?

I had a really weird dream last night.
I was going to get my trombone serviced at "brass and woodwind" in north road (the place where they apparently steal the intruments and tell you they got robbed, but then two weeks later your stolen intrument is in the shop window) and they did it all nice and stuff, but when the guy was showing me my polished trombone, he dropped a tuba case on my trombone and the bell was all screwed. So he took it back and had to fix it again. so me and my mum went back to the car to go home, but all of a sudden we started to hear all this scary music coming out of the police helicopter loud-speakers. and there were SQUAT temas everywhere, and stormtroopers, and army men. So we didn't know where to go. All of a sudden, our car turned into a motor bike, and my mum disappeared. So i was left speeding around the streets of Oakleigh (which strangely looked like Los Angeles) by myself. As it turns out, there were 3 rival gangs speeding around in their fancy cars and motorbikes. There were the ones with baby-blue cars and shirts, the pink cars and shirts, and the grey cars (with yellow shirts).

I found myself driving down this tunnel thing, which reminded me of Mario Kart, and i was chasing a blue who was chasing a pink. anyway, at the end of the tunnel we all crashed. And somehow Pink and Blue got shot, but not killed. There was a hospital across the road, so i helped them over the road. and they were really nice. The Blue guy looked like Harry from the Cat Empire, and the Pink guy looked like a hard-core Ben Kweller (hahaha, yes, Ben Kweller was a hard-core criminal bikey in my dream) But then when we got just outside the hospital, a grey car stopped beside us and the driver went all rage-o at us. Then this old man came and prodded us with his cane.

Then I went back to the trombone fixer place, and they still hadn't fixed my bone, so i had ice-cream shots.

And that was it. I'm not sure what to think of it... somehow, i think my trombone represents my band, and the tuba case represents the guy in my band who plays the tuba. I knew he would be the death of me.

Im not sure what to think of the policemen, army men and women, and the stormtroopers. Well, i did see star wars yesterday. so that could explain the stormtroopers.

And i really don't know what to think of the high-speed motorcycle chase.

a day of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll

so, who else had fun today?
Sex-Ed was fun. i was a bit bummed how we didn't do the banana-condom exercise. I've been waiting to do that my entire life. but no, not today, and unless my future company decides to inform employees of the danger of inter-office relationships, i doubt i will ever get to put a condom on a banana (like an actual banana, as in the fruit kind. meh. don't take any of this out of context.)

The drug dude was cool. BUT WHAT WAS UP WITH HIS HAIR-CUT!?!?!?! it was even worse than Bibby's!!! and thats pretty revolting.

So now I am really scared of going to have a pap-smear. WHAT WAS WITH THE TONGS!!! they were massive, i mean, i knew about the scraping, but the giant tongs!!! AH!
And that massive injecter contraceptive thing. that was the miggest needle i have seen in my life! whats with that?

do not write on this sheet

hmmm, so the psychology exam was interesting. i think i did well, there was one question i was iffy on. but other than that i enjoyed it. seriously. i like the stimulation.

Bec and Lleyton set a date for their wedding yesterday. she will be something like 7 months pregnant when she walks down the isle. does anyone else suspect that the only reason they are getting married is because he got her preggers? it's a bit rude of him. i mean seriously! cheeses!

I did another test just then. i love tests. this one wwas to find out what kind of drug I am. (scroll down) feel free to take the test as well. and post it here in a comment! (just copy the html code into the comment box) yeah, so anyway, i must head off.

Actually, all you people in internet land, i have a question... if you know a secret that someone else doesn't know, but it will effect their lives greatly if they found out. (which they will eventually) should you tell them? but only so they don't get as hurt as they will if they find out later. Becuase no matter what they will find out, just the longer it goes on, the harder it will be to take. hmm... tough dilemma. i hate breaking secrets.

- Em xoxoxoxoxoxox

Take the quiz: "what kind of drug are you? (includes pictures)"

weed.
you are weed.you are laid back, ralaxed and outgoing.


Take the quiz: "What Star Wars Character Are You?"

Han Solo
Your sarcasm is remarkable. Because of your harsh childhood you have become excellent at supressing your emotions and appearing driven only by money, but you do have a soft side...

why i don't like elevators

anyone that knows me well, knows that i don't like elevators. Actually im not a fan of many cramped spaces. it's not claustrophobia because that means being scared of. I'm not scared, i just don't like small spaces. The aquarium is the worst. I don't like fish. And being in that room with nothing but fish, glass and water around you is horrible.

anyway... go here to find out why. and go to the top floor. "caught" i think it's called.

some randomness to start off my monday morning

Here are some interesting facts i found on the back of my Libra Invisibles. I'm in a sharing mood, so i hope you enjoy. (i bolded the interesting ones. but my damn template doesn't actually show boldness (i thought it would be artistic at the time. meh.), so i will just make them another colour, or bigger. hopefully that will work)

Now, for some more pleasure, i have finally gotten around to photographing my erotic star-sign cup. (hold the mouse over each of the small pictures for a description. and you can click on them to make them bigger.)




at a closer inspection of the galss, there are little descriptions. for example. Taurus is "Horny" (haha) and Aries is a "Rammer." I found that quite amusing.

Must be off. It's time to study. If anyone has any requests to see their star-sign position, please just ask!

my new argentinian lover

ok. i just found the coolest thing. i really want to do it when i get married.
check it out here

Sebastian is very hot in 2002/2003 pity he grew his hair too long. And im a bit of a fan of nicolas too. Matias is obviously the problem child. he's had a few weight issues. like in 1998. I bet he's a computer nerd.

Now check out Diego, the dad. Does he ever change? in '82 and '83 Amy and i think they forgot to take a photo so they just chucked the photo in photoshop and put another shirt on him. And stretched his beard out a bit.

The Mum is very pretty, but her pout is very ahh... pouty. i loved her hair in 1986. brilliant!
In 1998 when Mat has his weight issues, and Nick starts getting into drugs, she is looking a bit tried. I feel for Susy, i really do.

But yes, one day i am going to hunt down Seb make him cut his hair like it is in 2003 and marry him.

cramps are an unnecessary evil. they should die

cramping hours: 5
number of "neurofen plus" pills taken: 2
number of hours of constant vomiting: 1.5
number of hours in fetal position: 1
number of our is the "rack" position: 1

So. i was just napping and i had this really disturbing dream where there was this rumor that Petra and Sarah C had lesbian sex. and like always, i was the last to find out. I'm not sure what the meaning of that dream was, maybe its going to predict the future. And any readers of this blog, don't go around spreading my dream. its for your enjoyment purposes only! :P
yeah, so i found out because Emily H told me. Then when they were waiting for my response i htought i could take my time because i thought i was talking to them on msn. but i wasn't. i am just so much of a geek i don't know the difference between reality and msn. i'm so sad.

Then Lucy called and told me Ben Lee was on the radio but i only heard his last few words, and Catch My Disease (hmmm... never heard that before!!! haha). My cramps disappeared when he was speaking. he does amazing work that man. There is this boy in america who's 15, and he has this heart condition or something. He had never heard ben before, but he was in hospital having an attack (not like a heart attack, just an attack of pain or something) and then "Catch My Disease" came on the hospital radio system (i thought that was funny... in a hospital, catching of diseases.) and the pain stopped. And whenever he gets heart pains he puts the song on and it eases it. im not sure if the kids for real. but it just happened to me then. that man has a strong power. i dont mean to sound cheesy ang ghey. but i've read interviews in magazines where at in the intro to the interview, the journo is like "Ben Lee has an amazing presence about him." and i believe it. i sound like an absolute weirdo i know. don't mock me. please. im frail.

smelly

today is just a dumb day.

i got up early to do a psychology practice exam, but i did pretty poor on it. 80% - that brought my average down. It was adumb paper, nothing on ethics and too much on stuff we don't know. (the study design changed, so all the past papers have stuff we don't need to know.)


then after that i can't remember what i did. The only good thing that resulted from today is i won $1 becuase Port Adelaide kicked St Kilda's ass. WOO! Port are my 2nd favourite team. when i was little i decided to like them because they had good colours. there is money in being stylish!


Then i went to my grandma's house, which i do almost every sunday because i think she will kick me out of the family if i don't go. I had my mp3 player all set up at home to record Le Tigre live at the Wireless, which fell through last week because i had technical difficulties. anyway, my granma went on and on and on. and we didn't get home until 5.10pm - 10 fricken minutes into the show!!! so im preying that triple j will post the show on their website.


now i am suffering from cramps. and i feel faint. i feel spew coming on too. dammit. at least its now and not tuesday morning when my exam is.

FREE HAIR CONSULTATIONS AVAILABLE

mmm... student free days are heaven! i woke up this morning at apporximately 8 minutes past 11. oh sleep-ins are bliss! Then i revised hypothetical constructs and the ames room. i still suck at the ames room, but im gonna ace any questions on hypothetical constructs. I'm really looking forward to the psychology exam on tuesday. Seriously! the practice exams are fun, so i'm sure the real one will be even better. I love challenging my mind, sometimes i wish i had done maths methods. I love maths, and solving things. And Further just doesn't stimulate me. now, i don't wish to sound cocky. im no maths genious, i know the stuff and it all makes sense in my mind, but i lose marks on those ghey questions where you have to round to 1 decimal place instead of 2. I can't believe they take off a whole mark for that! My answer is correct, and when EVER in my life will i have to round off to a specific decimal place? (i hate the "in the morning" radio edit (by ben lee) the original is so much better suited to the radio!) Any bets that one day i will lose my job because i rounded off to the wrong decimal place. grrr.


So during my study today, i was sitting there in silence, and after a while my ears began to tune to outside noises. There is a building site a few doors down from me, and i think they were getting ready to pour the concrete today. Anyway, their radio was blaring, as all building sites stereos do. And i'm like, hey i know this song! its was "on the verge" by le tigre (feminist electronica-punk-rock group that i love) off their album "This Island" it isn't one of their singles, so i was wondering why it was on the radio. Then after that finished "Keep on Livin'" came on (by le tigre, off "Feminist Sweepstakes") and im like, hmmm thats odd, what radio station plays le tigre twice in a row? so i kept listening and the next song was sinead o'connor, i can't remember what song though. Anyway, im like hmm... it's time to investigate, so i went through every radio station on my stereo trying to match the building site. But to no avail. :(
So i put on some clothes and walked up to see if i could get a sneak peek at where their radio was tuned.


I stopped outside my hot neighbours house and i realised that their radio was tuned to the iPod sitting on top of the stereo. Now this is rediculous i thought. I've heard of nightclubs not having turntables, but just an iPod to pump out tunes, but a fricken BUILDING SITE?!?! what's the world coming to?


So i'm standing there with my mouth open wide, and my scary pedophile neighbour (he's seriosuly scary! he NEVER wears pants!!! as in... he wears these tiny little shorts which are gross.) who's house is next to the building site came over and asked what i was doing out. I told him i wanted to find the source of the music, and who was playing it. In the end i got dragged over to the head builder man, who told me Friday is Joe's turn to operate the stereo (they are civilised enough to have a schedual for the stereo) Joe was pointed out to me. Joe was a woman. i'm going to generalise and go one step further and say lesbian (fair assumption, she's a builder with a man's hair cut and a very manly body, who listens to le tigre and sinead.)


Then the most embarrassing thing happened, Joe came over to ask the head builder dude what's next on the agenda... and he goes "hey this girl here came over to find out about the music" and im like... oh my goodness, way to just be embarrassing. So i'm like "oh yeah, i heard Le Tigre playing..." blah blah blah. in the end, she's like oh yeah? i love them, i saw them early this year. and im like "me too! at BDO!" and shes like, nah i went to their gig the day after. hmmm... jealousy. It sounded like such an amazing show. She even met Jo (from le tigre) afterwards, but no JD :(


And thats my day. kinda.

Liberation is short, but oh so sweet. Part 1

yes, so after eight hours of the wonderful blessing some people like to call contacts, it turns to pure uncomfortableness.

This morning it took me about 20 minutes to attach the little plastic lenses to my astigmatic eyeballs, and this afternoon it took about the same amount of time to get them off. And i was busting to pee, so the thing that got me there in the end was just "emma, you're going to piss yourself if you don't reach in there and pinch those little buggers out!" and it worked, and i can assure you all out ther in internet land, that i relieved my bladder successfully, without any major problems. by saying major, i mean, i did have to change the toilet role, but my mission was a complete success. Go Team Emma! WOO!


Mmm... poridge is good.


my Brass group was schedualled for a rehursal today - but no one showed except for me and Mr Hamilton. how sad. Damn year 10 exams!!! and year 9 sport!!! and aarons memory!!! and Tom's Fatness!!! DAMN IT ALL!!!

Then i suggested we go marching, because i have always wanted to learn to play whilst marching. (it's really really hard, because your feet have to be in time, and everyone has to be in sync. and then you have to keep the trombone attached to your mouth and move the slide back and forth whilst keeping the music attached to the thing (lyre?) its, hard.) But Mr H made all these excuses not to. DAMN HIM!!! i also insulted him today by calling him a little teddybear. is that insulting? i didn't think so. then again, im not a grown man (although im sure some of you would beg to differ) so perhapse yeah. hmm...

Liberation Part 1

YEY!!! since i was 13 months old i have been confined to the small, dank world of glasses. Now at last i am free of that world. Ahh, the glory that is contacts.

They are soooo amazingly fantastically good! it's not funny how brilliant these are. Except they are hand made, so i cant lose them. But they are made out of this super dooper material that is like a real body part, so the body doesn't reject them. WOO! go technology!


Actually, technology sucks when you put the words "Visual Basic" in the sentance. Ohhh man, i hate that program. At least now, i never have to touch it EVER again. The deadly SAC was officially O-V-E-R today. WOO HOO!


I was in a cafe today and "Catch my Disease" (By Benjamin Michael Lee) came on, i only realised because all the waitresses started singing along to the chorus. I thought about joining in, but oh man, my vanilla milkshake was to die for (plus im not into singing in public) - So take note... "Paris End Cafe" in Collins St (in the city, if you hadn't worked that out) is ultra cool.

p.s happy birthday to those two (or more, but i don't know all you other 1st day of winter babies) kids who and now one year older than they were yesterday!
