the lorne/torq blog #4
as i sit here with my beautiful sunburn, trying not to make any facial movements so as to avoid pain, i think about todays proceedings. it wasnt a bad day really. sure i've had a splitting alcohol induced headache all day, but i made some friends and had some good emma time.so, yes there was a rather abrupt end to my last post. but i fell asleep watching the south-west waste services man doing his... waste servicing.
after my sleep i went down to the beach.
my very own semi-secluded private beach that i had all to myself. i would have gone skinny dipping, except that the beach happens to be right on the great ocean road and i didnt want passers by to see my giny or boobies.
the moment my toes touched the crystal clear blue water, my nipples turned as hard as the crystals that supposedly make the water clear. apparently the make water cold too.
at that moment i then remembered that yes, i was infact standing in the icy waters of the bass straight. only tasmania stood between me and antarctica.
so i braved the ice, and after realising i was probably colder than kate+leo in their last desperate breaths amung the lifeboats and iceburgs of the atlantic, i decided to head back.
only to find lucy and her little friend trying to escape the caravan park without me.
so i went back to the tent, only to realise that i had no food, blog, sudoku, clothes, sleeping bad or anything except for the $10 lucy gave me upon her escape.
in lucy's defense, she did ask me several times if i needed anything from the car, to which i only answered "money", to which she gave me plenty of.
so i laid on the grass looking at the huge cliffs surrounding me. trying to find the outlines of faces and bodies to be my friend. i'll draw some for you.
*emma: remember to scan the pictures*
so apart from making friends, and napping, and burning, and sitting, i did nothing. fora long time.
lucy returned later, and went down to the beach with her friend and i wanted/needed to go into town to do semi-important stuff, but lucy + co were sunbaking and didn't get up... for quite some time. its times like these which i wish i could drive.
anyway, i made some real friends (not men+women carved into a cliff face) with jeremy and shaun in camping spot #100 and they drove me into town. well... the they were going anyway.
so i left a note for lucy and went into town.
i did a bit of shopping, eating, sitting, drinking, and then lucy called and we got together for lunch. i had crab. i didnt know which part to eat so i ate...

the lorne/torq blog #3
well, i have absolutely no recollection of the last post. my guess is that it was written about 1am last night.i am still in the car, but more warm because the sun is up. lucy just got out of the tent, and the angel she is, she brought me some water. my head really hurts bad.
last night was pretty fun. i think i forgot to mention in my last post that lucy has a friend on schoolies up here slash down here staying in the caravan park with all the schoolies peeps
let me exlain, because the one company owns all the caravan parks in lorne, they have decided to put all the schoolies '06 children in the one spot.
this happens to be queens park. it is fucking feral. it is basically just tents, empty bottles and dirty dirty teenagers everywhere. (added later: also there is human excrement on the sides of the roads. and it smelled like urine)
it is fairly putrid.
and when i say "fairly putrid" i actually mean "disgustingly putrid." This is the place that is $100 per night. who would want to pay that to live in a pig-stye? people pay that to stay in 4 or 5 star hotels per night. gaybos.
so last night, we hopped into the only cab in town. and went to the pig stye at queens park. we made some friends and took the free shuttle bus down to the beach. there was a makeshift club in the lorne hotel, pretty ghey though. so we went down to the foreshore (for sure!) which was basically just a lot of boys standing around trying to scam onto the minimal amount of girls around. i have to say, the ratio here is not in the male species favour. (awesome, the septic tank waste removal truck is here)

the lorne/torq blog #1
Lucy is forcing me to drink alcohol as we are going to a party tonight in a barn.crack?
I suspect that she is trying to get me drunk so that i dont look like a complete nerd infront of her friend/s. this is quite understandable as if i were in her position i would probably try to persuade me just to stay at home/in the tent.
speaking of tents, we have successfully arrived in lorne. sort of.
we are actually camping 10 minutes out of lorne in a v.cool caravan park who quoted us a price and stuck to it.
what i mean by that is that, when we called up the main caravan joint in lorne, and after a few simple questions, they quoted us $22 a night. upon arrival, they then quadrupelled the price, bumping it up to $100 per night. purely because we are schoolies age. gay to the max!
They also happened to own all the caravan parks in lorne. bum!
So now we are here, in the awesome cumberland river holiday park.
we love these guys.
awesome service.
perfect positioning for a quiet family holiday.
however, lucy and i are not quite family. although we did try to persuade the first ghey caravan park that we were. :P
On the trip here, we almost died. lucy almost hugged a koala and we almost rolled down a mountain backwards because the didnt have enough power to get up. and handbreak starts aren't that fun on steep angles. but we made it in one piece. yey! toolies '06!!!
i am very cold. lucy is trying to persuade me to wear something other than jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie. but i would prefer to leave tonights festivities in an un-hypothermic state.
lucy however, is wearing shorts, a small top, and probably heels (this was later confirmed). i think tonight the minimum is getting to about 7degr. but im sure she'll find someone warm to snuggle up to. ;)
did i mention we are going to a (interlude: the couple in the camper-van next to us are having sex. i think.) party in a fucking BARN! it's going to turn into a hoe-down or something. should be fun though.
pre-drinks by myself isn't much fun. especially curled up in a ball, trying to keep warm, in the car and next to sexing old people.
it is very dark outside. i might have a power nap before we call a taxi. lucy is still getting ready in the public bathroom. she is a crack-up that one. when i got to her house this morning she hadn't even started packing. she had a massive bag (twice the size of mine) for toiletries and another bag for all the toiletries she couldn't fit in the first one.
ok. powernap time.

update on the life of le emma
hokay, so i haven't blogged in a while. slap me.i'm slightly bored at the moment, and i really feel like dancing. james got me the scissor sisters ta dah box set, and i do feel like dancin'. har har. i'm so funny.
he got me the cd because i was sick and i thought i'd need a blood test. but i don't. so he got it for nothing. i still feel slightly poo though.
i went to the doctor, and he said it was a viral infection, which is a bonus, because it means that it's not bacterial. i think he was smoking crack. he just said i'd feel like crap for a week, then get over in within one to two weeks. joy.
i voted today. it was the first time ever that i had voted in an actual australian election. one of the candidates used to go to school with me and now he goes to monash. he played the trumpet at school, and we played in brass ensemble together. so i voted for him/greens. i was going to vote greens or alp anyway, so he helped me make my decision. brass players = cool.
although, i'm sure that steve bracks is great at whatever he does too. picolo? harpsichord? maybe (slash... i wish) he plays the fluba. if he learns to play that, then i will vote for him.
ok. i just saw a really creepy ad on tv. watch... with caution. it's an unpleasant reminder why i don't watch tv anymore.
tomorrow i am going to lorne. and on tuesday i am going to torquay and on friday i am coming back home.
lucy and i are doing lorne by ourselves. then meeting other kiddies in torquay for some good times on tuesday at isabels holiday house.
i finished exams. i get my results in 3 or 4 days. gosh, im a bit worried about my results. but i don't really have to think about them until i start uni again, or until i have to re-enroll in the units i failed.
uni sucks.
i wish there was a way i could be happy.
annual leave makes me a bit happy.
but the thought of going back to work does not.

karma
i think i am being punished.i havent really studied at all for my exams, as in like... barely any study at all. i've left all my studying until the last minute. cramming always works good. not. but it's all that i can seem to muster.
anyway, my mother has broken her arm, which is all sad and stuff, and i feel sorry for her. but selfish ol emma only thinks of herself. naturally.
i have to take time out of my cramming schedual to:
- cook for the family
- clean
- feed the animals
- do the washing
- drive her places
- do her shopping
- put her shopping away
- other miscelaneous
- etc
i have also been punished in the form of james. he has a moustache. it isnt cool. he also has 5 different colour hairs on his head. maybe 6 because i think his beard/mo is 2 different shades of orange.
- moustache = orange
- eyebrows = brown
- hair #1 = another brown
- hair #2 = blonde
- hair #3 = BLONDE!!! (like peroxide style)
i dead now.
