 So here I am, at uni on a Saturday, still doing nothing.

I'm supposed to be working on my immunological essay and property law essay. 

Making coherent sentences is difficult.

Dr Who'd  

Wow, for some reason I've become very addicted to Dr Who. It just seems like it happened all of a sudden. The previews for Torchwood looked so good so I watched the first few eps (this was before the network shafted it to midnight on Tuesdays). And finding Torchwood is a spin off from Dr Who, of course, how did I not see the anagram!, led me to the Doctor.

And... it's brillant! Can't believe how fun and full of adventure the whole show is! And teh sex that is David Tennant! I'm such a sucker for accents and his is no exception. He just plays the Doctor with such aplomb and energy and it just gets you so into the show. Freema is such a strong actress too, really not shy to show the tough side of Martha. 

So that's how the lovely icon by [info]riot__libertine came about. They've done some really quite good ones!

Lastly, I should really not sit with my legs crossed - I can't feel my legs and I'm going to have pins and needles...

Countdown...  
Who would have thought I had wireless already on my laptop!? Does this mean the approx AU$90 I dished out to buy a usb connector thingy is rubbish? I'm so technologically unadvanced.

So you may be asking why I brought my laptop to uni - I usually don't because I never really need it as, after all, there's computers everywhere.. but I'm stressed. Why?

Because there's only SEVEN hours to go before my Constitutional Law assignment is due. Arggghhhh. Why can't it come to be in a blaze of enlightenment? I'm quite suprised I'm at least past half way...

Ok, I gotta go otherwise I'll be stuck forever and fail..

(The good news is that my Biology eConference's due date got pushed back. Thank goodness!)

I've been a hermit yet again. Gah, I'm terrible!

Let's see what's happened so far...

Second year of uni and it's not too bad. The only bad thing is that the bus stop has changed and now I have to walk up this massive slope to get to my classes. Also bad when trying to rush for the bus to get to work on time. Also sad to see how unfit I am.

I've got a Constitutional assignment due next Tue and to be honest I haven't even started. A lot of theory that gets me so confused. Anyone else wants to give me some insight on Combet v Commonwealth? I'm looking forward to drinking some energy drink for then next three nights...

Oh yeah, I haven't even talked about my new job! I'm currently working 10hrs at my old high school as a lab assistant. Right now only making solutions up and putting them in bottles but I did experience the unpleasant side and washed up for 4 1/2 hours. And the labs are full of mozzies. 

How good was the latest Gilmore ep? I loooovveeee Luke/Lorelai. She's so cute when she went "I don't like them" referring to bells. I'm glad she's pushing his buttons! Ok, so maybe I wouldn't be struggling with the assignment if I did watch so much tv...

I fell in love with this cute little necklace that's 7 pounds... if only I lived in the UK. Or owned a credit card. Or had a more gullible mother.
Miss Hoot HootSee isn't it cute! It's from Lady Luck Rules Ok.

Ok, so I really should go back to working and ignoring my left eye that happens to have a fogged up contact. It's been like that all day and I feel like I have cataracts. Man, it's not pleasant.

Christmas is nearly over...  

Merry Christmas!

It has been such a while since I updated, mainly because I've been lazy and partly because I always feel like my life's too damn average.

Uni results came - got 7 (yea! my first High Distinction, for Organic Chem, can you believe it), 6, 5, 4 (poor, unlucky Tort Law). So at least I know 7s are definitely achievable!

Been a Christmas causal for City Beach (that's a surf/skate, mainly clothing shop for all you folks not in Australia) for about a month. It's been pretty stressful since the managers seem to get angry for even the slightest wrong. It's been getting more and more difficult to find clothes to wear, too. Like this one time that I decked out in all the things I previously bought from the store and was told I looked like I was going to the beach... um, don't you sell beachwear? It felt so surreal.

But yes, Christmas today. Quite a hot day that I spent writing in my neglected diary, reading 'Break No Bones' by Kathy Reichs, rigging the Scrabble game, lamenting my weight whilst still eating those last few Lindor choccies. Har. It's been a great day spent with great family. I'm sad to see my Christmas hat off my head and into the cupboard for another year.

And, of course, I'd like to mention Jesus. You rock. (That's no snub to other religions - you rock too!)

 
 
I'm feeling...: giddy

Just a quick shoutout!  
Going to just write this real quick since I'm doing this massive cleanup of my Hotmail and then I want to watch the NRL footy with the Brisbane Broncos (I'm Australian, so that explains it)... I'm splurging after doing my 34% worth, 30min Contract Law test...

How fantastic is this usericon? I had asked [info]diabolitos if she could so nicely put the writing that was in one icon in another and bang, presto!, it arrived!! How quick was that? I so expected a 'how dare you demand such a silly request' but all I got was this wonderful icon maker willing to indulge! So check out some of her icons cuz it's the least I can do to repay her!!! iconizethis

Yep, Bones rocks.

MY 18th BIRTHDAY!!!! YIPPPEEE!!!  
Yep, that's right, it's my 18th b'day today!

To be honest, I really liked being under 18... it's like I always thought that it was good of me to achieve what I've achieved without being 'officially' an adult. Or that I could be more proud of myself for doing so without being an adult. Like driving, I felt like it was so good of me to get my license before I was 18, even if you could get that before then anyway. I don't know, I liked the feeling that I was 'beating' my age...

No, it was quite a good day - went to watch Pirates 2 but unfortunately, all sold out. So then just went on the CityCat.. which was great because I really don't travel on Brissie's river quite enough. I also brought a lotto ticket and went into the casino (where the guard lady wished me a happy b'day - I was waiting for that!) Then I had a great dinner and well it was spent with excellent company (my sis and friend Rach) though no parents. Which is actually sad to spend a milestone without the whole family.

I got some great gifts - book, cd, socks (great story behind that), keyring... well, since the party hasn't been and oldies away, I'm sure there's more to come!!

Well, gotta go live the rest of the day... signing off... as EIGHTEEN!!!!

[music] Five for Fighting: '100 Years'

This has to be one of those things that I get absolutely so excited about. I mean things that come only once in a thousand years usually prompt to get over the top about it. But I'm just so happy that I'm here to witness it: first hour, second minute, third second, fourth day, fifth hour, sixth year.. even typing it makes it seem to unique and special. Not to mention the typing of the numbers 01:02:03 04/05/06 - just going across my laptop keyboard... I'm just so, so geeky. And I'm proud of it! So I'm staying up (well, doing my legal assignment) to party!

I'm totally in love with the song '100 Years' by Five for Fighting. Heard it because it played during the last few minutes of JAG (which side DOES the coin land?) and then heard it during the Scrubs clip my sis found for me. Then I looked it up on Wikipedia (which happens to be my new fave site for finding tidbits about EVERYTHING) and it said it was used in those two shows. Ha. Coincidence, much?

The icon of today comes from icons_by_malubs - rainbow and palm tree, score!

I love these things even if I don't take it as gospel.

Your Birthdate: July 6

You tend to be a the rock in relationships - people depend on you.
Thoughtful and caring, you often put others needs first.
You aren't content to help those you know... you want to give to the world.
An idealist, you strive for positive change and dream about how much better things could be.

Your strength: Your intuition

Your weakness: You put yourself last

A long absence  
It's been a long time. A really, really long time.

At uni now. Just started the six years of my Law/Science degree. So I'm taking two law subjects and two science ones. Chemistry's pretty routine but I'd admit Biology is giving me some trouble. Some days I just wish I had done Bio at high school, then I think of all the fun I had in Multi...

Still learning to drive. Had people shout at me to 'get off the road'. I blame my instructor who told me to do a reverse park on the main road. So totally expected abuse. My car still smells new. Fantastic!

Like the Wilson icon. By [info]detection - thank you very muchy for my computer skills are dismal. I love Wilson and it could explain why I'm up to date with the States and not behind in Australia. I wish shows would be played more regularly.

Last day of 2005  
Wowsa - it's that time of the year where we all think hasn't the year flown past. This year has been so hectic, honestly, Year 12 just goes! Before you know it there's no more tests to study for, late night assignments, student council meetings, saturday sports, formals, valedictories... all gone! Would I redo it? Oh yeah. Just to do those things I should've worked harder for or just plucked up the courage.

Just a simple 'goodbye 2005' from me. Seeya!

OP TIME!  

[mood| crushed]

It's a...

2

I'm a little pooped, as you would if you just got second place and you were only a few steps behind first place. Not saying I was very close to a 1 but the fact is that there was a 1 to get and I didn't get it. It was there to be conquered and all I did was slipped down my Everest. I'm more annoyed that I didn't get 1 as I could get it than worrying about getting into uni.

Check out this fantastic site where you can build you own Serenity from Lego. Genius: Snack Size Serenity

That was my first weblink. I'm fantastic I know...

I GOTTA JOB!!!  

[mood| hopeful]

So, let's recap a fantastically fun day. Went to the City for an interview with Baker Johnson Lawyers at 11am. Of course, went there by bus otherwise the parking $ would be way overpriced. Anyway, I mentioned the bus because there was this grafitti that was on the back of a chair that said something along the lines of 'Gimme a call' but the thing that annoyed me was the misspelling of 'horny'. Hello? It's 'horny' not 'horney' - geez, why would I want to hook up with a bad speller? Just joking - but seriously, 'horny' is spelt wrong?

Right, back to the job interview. Look at my first cut! P.S: The rhino is my workplace's icon! The tale continues... )

Ain't it HOT?  
[mood| lazy]

I did try to blog a few days ago but the comp blacked out on me. I really have to get something fixed to stop that: I've been told it's the video card. Currently I have to be awfully nice to the machine and not overload it with shiny things. Could be I've stored heaps of crap on it - I really should transfer them to disk but I need motivation.

My last driving lesson was much better - yeah, air con! The previous one was disasterious because it was so hot and I just couldn't stand him. I think he's used to my laconic ways. Or maybe I'm keeping a better open mind.

Quite like Veronica Mars. Her hair looks so much better short than in the flashbacks where it was long. I wish mine was like that. And the hot guys on that show. Duncan? Troy? I always thought Troy looked like Iceman's Shawn Ashmore then I googled and found out he was [i]Aaron[/i] - twin of. I'm good.

And quite glad One Tree Hill is back - it always gets me in such a basketball mood. Really can't stand the Brooke character - she's too preppy. And how hot does Chad Michael Murray look in all these professional shots?

See, my lovely 'Mals's arm with medicine names' icon? And the 'Ryan Hey...' one? How simple do they look? I suppose I'd advance to the more sophisticated multi-layer, brushes, animation soon. But I do want to do some of my other loves in icon form. But yet to do that, too.

Off to Indooroopilly. Just to waste a few hours. Toodles

Awww, shucks!  
[mood| grateful]

Got this really nice card in the mail.. from my English teacher. First thought was omg - they have my address, arrrggh - in the nicest way possible, of course. Then I found the card and such a sweet message congratulating me on my school service award. Wow, that would have taken time and much thought and I just really was one of the most beautiful things anyone has done for me. What a thoughtful gesture - thanks, Mrs. R!

Another driving lesson. Kinda annoyed how he doesn't really tell me what to do until it's too late and I didn't do it. Like he didn't even tell me before hand to check the mirror and do a shoulder turn when driving out until I just pulled out. Well, duh, I'm stupid, tell me what to do! Anyway, learnt hill-starts and the three-point turn. Hmmph.

To Carindale. Quite sick of shopping. The place has changed quite a bit since I last went - like most of the holes between the two levels have now been filled over to provide more room for additional shops. And the new Brothers Neilson store looks quite rad - much like something out of Sydney's mall. And guess who I saw working there? Ash T! Wow, she sure looks the same. I wonder if I do? But it got me depressed thinking I could never get a job - anywhere. There's no more available spots, ppl have all hired out for the 'hols! Bummer...

Sean Biggerstaff is such a cutie!

For all those who don't know - he's Oliver Wood from the Harry Potter flicks. You have to so watch that little wink he does when he saves the Quaffle. Swoon.

Harry Potter Love Match  
[mood| amused]

Had a bloody sore throat yesterday. So yuck - why does it have to hurt to swallow? Probably from my lack of vitamins...

How funny is this?
HASH(0x8d09194)
Remus Lupin
You are looking for someone sweet, intelligent, and understanding. Although he may have big troubles to overcome, with you by his side this wolfman will at least have a non-judgmental,loving romance.

Who is your Harry Potter love match? (for girls)
brought to you by Quizilla

Well, not too funny. I had hoped to get him and yeah, I did. How boring of me. And, no, there was no Dumbledore so that invalidates the quiz! Yeah, watched again HP3 and rereading it again. Quite possibly the best HP book there is! Can't wait to actually watch HP4. Everyone looks so grown up and the guys - HAWT!

Still can't decide whether to get an iPod or not. Right now, the one that is out, the 5th Generation one only has 'video as an extra'. I quite want 'video as a standard'. Should I get it anyway since it can play awesome audio? Or wait for the next one with better video play? I should consult my decision dice, book of answers, magic 8 ball - oh yea, I am prepared!

My room is still in a big, fat mess. Oh well.

Love real mayo - no diet stuff  
[mood| bored]

Not much happened today, like every other day... I suppose I vacuumed the floor but housework's so ordinary. Oh, and I hung out the washing. Yippee...

Went for sushi at the newly opened Sushi Station at Sunnybank Plaza. Sis and Mum actually wanted to go for Vietnames noodles but the 20% off convinced them to go to sushi. Basically the same, can't get enough of that mayo.. damn it's sugar content!

Decided to go for a walk cuz I'm really starting to notice my weight - I use to be so fit when I had all that netball training but the last half year has really seen me let it all go. Back to veges and fruits for me I think. Just think being healthy rox, being healthy rox, being healthy rox.

And all the ppls come back from Schoolies. Hope everyone had the most memorable time! Kinda funny how it was over all so quickly. Suppose I'll bump into a few more ppl round the place now.

Tired but Driving is FUN  
[mood| indifferent]

Went to the City. Sorta boring now that I've been recently... and that's the third day in a row that I've step foot into Garbo. Geez, so sick of that place. I'm quite tired of going out.

So went to the City to go the the Sass & Bide clearance sale on at City Hall. Had a mega lineup of twenty-something ladies... and to be frank, it wasn't all that interesting. It was just the same 20 items in different sizes. The tees could've been a lot more decorated.. so not worth the $40.. I suppose I want tees that scream the designer's name! But I suppose if you were into S&B then you would be happy with the bargains - jeans and tee for $100.

Had my first driving lesson. Learnt all the basics - mirrors, accelerate, brake, turn. I felt like I was about the break the wheel cuz I was turning it so much! Still haven't figured out how to stay in the middle of the left of the road - bad perception by me! It was so damn freaky.. live near a road that has loads of ups and downs and the instructor let me go and do that big Mt Petrie dip all by myself... so scared I was going to crash. But it was plenty shiny!

Survivor was on... so gotta get on that show. Fantastically cool how Gary told everyone about Judd's lie so that Judd had to admit he lied despite previously saying he hasn't! Ha, he so got caught out. Steph better watch out - she's is so running the show!

I'm gonna start learning how to do all those funky graphic things I see all the time... ye-ah!

Bad? results  
[mood| discontent]

Ok, so here I am to complain about my SAIs (for all the folks out there SAIs are an indication of ranking between all the people that took the same subject). I suppose I did alright but I also know I could've whooped some arses...

Placing
Chem: 6th
Multi: 1st (but that doesn't really count cuz I knew I was gonna get it)
Maths B: 7th
English: 5th
Ancient: 2nd
Legal: 2nd (and that sucks cuz I want to be a lawyer. I've always thought I was getting great grades for Legal but to come in 2nd... hmmph!)

Oh well... maybe I'll hound some teachers...

But I did have a great day out with the guys - thanks Felix, Dan and Yen for making it so fun. Especially when Dan went to actually asked for free tickets and got looked at funny by the ticket-lady. Or when Felix actually got the quiz - dammit, of course, it was Q. And Yen's frequent spending of $ on those things at the shops that rip ya off! Oh, and for ditching Saw 2 cuz I hid behind by hands during the first 10 minutes and couldn't watch anymore (man, I so don't do horror)! I'm still quite freaked! Think happy thoughts.. like marrying Dumbledore, I swear, is there anything bad about that man?

Ahhh, this is my very first post and I'm just playing round with it. So it's boring!

Still got a truckload to do for school, might have only ten days left of high school but I got - two Chem tests, two Maths B tests, three Multi ones, one Legal, one Ancient assignment, one Ancient oral... oh, my tale of woe.

Alrite, gotta go... peace and love... KEEP TRUCKIN'!
