Oww My ASS!
Sep. 12th, 2006 12:15 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
11:02pm: Yesterday I did all this walking, to the Wesley Job place people, then to the Job Find Centre, then to the bus stop, then I caught the bus to the Centrelink and walked to the Coles, then I decided not to waste a Travel 10 trip so I walked from the main road all the way to the apartment. And theeen I got a letter from the library telling me my book was overdue so I walked up to return then then came back. Now, I didn't actually think this was much more walking then I usually do, but this morning when I got out of bed my ass was killing me! I totally killed my butt muscles! This absolutely sucks because it hurts to walk, hurts to sit down, hurts to stand up and really hurts to bend over.
Damn you all! I fear this is going to take a while to clear up, which suck ass because tomorrow is the big day, Mum's going to bring that guy over to see the apartment! I've managed to clear up my books, but the floor's still looking bad! I'm doing my laundry now, but that's really not going to make the place look any cleaner.
Gasp! Horror! Right now I'm watching Things I Hate About You and the wife is complaining that a husband wears awful shirts, but they're not awful! My father wears the same kinds of shirts! They're cool! I love 'em! I've still not forgiven those What Not to Wear bastards for cutting up this guy's Hawiian shirt! That was like the best Hawiian shirt ever! Bastards! I'd actually give this guy PLUS points for wearing those shirts, LMAO! Really that'd be hard to judge because it's totally subjective, it depends on whether you go for that kinda shirt or not. Now the husband last night had a valid complaint about clothes, his wife took three hours to decide what to wear! That's extreme! But yeah.
I was going to write some drabbles today, but alas I got caught up doing stupid shit on the net (seriously, this thing can be such a timewaster!) and didn't get around to it. But I do have some ideas so I'm gonna get around to typing them up tomorrow in between cleaning, since work never did get back to me about shifts today.
Anyway, regarding the interview this morning, it went well! This prison newsletter thing sounds really interesting, and also really worthwhile, you know helping the community and all. So from 11am next Monday I'll be at the place doing...whatever. I also met a nice girl there who was working as the receptionist, she's probably around my age, it's interesting to meet some new people, seeing as you know...I've had the same friends since High School and my mother's always saying I should meet new people. So there you go.
I ran into her later on actually when I went to the Sydney Uni Book Fair finally to see what was on offer, and it's a kickass event, $10 for a box of book as much as you can fill it! I didn't actually fill it over the top though, because you know, I had to carry it home (I really shouldn't have walked home with that thing...considering my ass pain). Plus there wasn't that many books there although I did find a whole heap of Baby-Sitters Club (hey, shut up!) when I ran into the girl, her name's Alice. I was a bit embarrassed, but hey what the Hell, :OP. Besides as it turned out, she used to read 'em too, so it was pretty funny reminenscing.
Anywho, let's go on to...

Monday Madness
Have I Mentioned I Hate The Word Blog...?
1. How long have you been blogging?
Since March 2004, when some of my friends convinced me to get one, seeing as they all had one. Little did they know that they'd created a monster, a monster! Bahahahahaha!
2. How many times have you taken a break from blogging?
Well, in 1999 or something I did attempt to keep a fictional blog, I succeeded in creating an account and doing bugger all else. And then I didn't do any weblogging until 2004. But since then I've kept right on at it with only a day or two's break, even when I could barely sit due to throwing out my back.
3. How long is the longest you've gone, so far, without posting on your blog?
See above.
4. How many fellow bloggers do you keep in touch with, through your blogs, on a regular basis?
Errr...24 or something, whatever my Friend's List says.
5. Have you ever met, in person, a blogger on your blogroll?
Well, my friends who convinced me to get an LJ, all ready had ones so yep! And a person I met in Uni
_draceana had one too, but I met her first, so I guess technically, I haven't met anyone through LJ.
6. How often do you update/change the 'extra' stuff on your blog?
Eh, about twice a year.
7. Do you think you'll be blogging for years to come?
I better be! Because I shelled out big bucks for a Permanent Account here on LJ, so I'll be stuffed if I don't, LOL!
Monday's A Bitch
It's not Summer damnit! Stop been so North Hemisphere about it, bitches! :OP
TMI Tuesday
1. Do you leave a tip at a restaurant? If so, how much? Do you double the tax?
Tips aren't actually necessary in Australia (I can't imagine how much it must suck for American workers), but at resturants it's generally considered polite to do so, but usually just change in your wallet or whatever. But my parents and grandparents pay with credit cards so they might pay more, I dunno.
2. What celebrity did you have a crush on growing up?
Colin Firth! Squee! I've still got a crush on him though. :OP
3. Do you excuse yourself to “fart” or let it rip and blame the guy next to you?
Well, it depends where I am...usually ahem...I do the silent ones, so you know...I just hope no-one will notice!
4. When entering or exiting a store, do you hold the door open for the person behind you, if they're relatively close… if they're more than 10 steps away do you pause and hold the door open?
I do actually, especially if they're carrying bags or stuff, because it's just rude to do otherwise.
5. Ever had mono?
Nope.
Tuesday Twosome
1. List two things about yourself that has changed significantly in the last five years:

2. List two things you have come to realize are very important to you in the last five years:

2. Moving into the apartment.
5. What two things in your life you hope will have changed in the next five years.
1. Have a job!
2. Have gone travelling, specifically to New York.
Tuesday is Chooseday
Would you rather:
1. Have five years of pretty severe bad luck knowing you'd have relatively good luck for the rest of your life OR have your bad luck spread throughout your life?
I'm gonna take the second because seriously, seven years of complete badluck would fuck a person up. If it's interspaced with good stuff, well, you know you can survive! Besides, I've had enough bad luck this year, I wouldn't want to know it'll continue for six more years!
2. Mix everything you drink with sour cream OR squirt lemon juice on everything you ate?
Oh my GOD you have NO idea how hideous both options are to me! I can't stand either of those things, even when they're used on the 'proper' foods like potaoes for the former or fish for the later. But...I'll have to take the latter, because, I suppose I could get used to the lemon, but sour cream...ugh God makes me feel gross just thinkin' about it!
3. Cluck like a chicken whenever a phone rang OR lick your lips whenever somebody mentioned food?
Well, in the modern world of mobile phones the former would be pretty damn annoying...and the latter, well it might not be all that noticable you know, so I'll take that. Although did you know that's a good way to get a cracked corners in your lips? Having this cracks at this moment, I can tell you they suck majorly!
4. Only be able to hold your head straight up, as if looking at the sky OR only be able to look down towards your feet?
Well, I take the latter again, because I often do walk around like that because I dunno, my posture sucks. The latter would be really awful, because sometimes I look up like that, something catches in the back of my neck and that's just painful as Hell. I'm not going there.
NOOOOOO! The Hawiian shirt man lost! And now he has to chop up three of his shirts! Not the SHIRTS! I throw myself upon them to protect them! Oh the pain, I can't believe the chick choose the shirt with the deck of cards motif, that was like the coolest shirt! I'd totally buy it for my father! Shocking! Shocking!
And shit, I've missed a day again! Ah well, this is what I get for starting this entry so late in the day and skipping the Memes yesterday, well what are you going to do.
And now I'm watching The Prosecuters and I'm feeling pretty annoyed because it's a Death Penatly case, fuck me, how many of those do they have in America? It's like some damn weekly thing. Anyway, they're having a sanity hearing on this guy who's killed two children, and I wonder if the legal idea of insanity is too damn strict. Like the only way to get the insanity plea to go through is if they have absolutely NO sense of right and wrong, take for example someone who kills someone thinking they're a demon. Later on they're arrested and asked "Is killing wrong?" If they say yes, the doctors will say they're legally sane, even if later on they say, and mean it, that killing the demons in the person's body was right. Now that makes no sense, obviously something's not right with a person who thinks there's demons inside other people. Frankly I'm of the opinion that they should probably go to jail (because they're probably dangerous to the other mentally ill people in an institution), but if you do you should give them the mental health care they need, otherwise they're going to get out and be just a screwed up as they went in and that can't be a good situation.
The law can be a total ass.
And that's all I have to say for now.
Good night all!
