Musings

There's a possibility that I will be there in January! My cousin won four tickets to Disneyland and we're deciding who is going to snag the fourth ticket (either my mum, sister or me).

Is anyone interested in meeting up?? I'm not sure how far I could travel because we're only going to be there for five days, and I think there could be some sort of schedule to follow (we'd be staying in a hotel in the park). But I'm sure I could get away for a bit... plus I want to see Hollywood, and I refuse to go if I can't see it, lol.

I'd really love to meet some of you though :D! Just keep in mind that it's a bit up in the air at the moment (it's the same day I'm supposed to be flying to Sydney, so I gotta sort all that out).

Recent thread on Lilymud reminded me that tipping really just boggles my mind. Tipping isn't customary here in Australia because our wages are pretty good and we don't need it. When I hear of people (adults!) in the States earning less than $7 an hour, I seriously cringe! If you're over 18 here, you earn at least $14 an hour. Is it true some people earn as little as $3 an hour in some fast food jobs over there?! I really can't fathom that. They should just pay people properly instead of making them rely on tips :s

Moar frenz

Leave me a comment saying "Gesundheit!"
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Feel free to also chuck in 5 questions yourself, it will save me spamming your respective journals.

This set of questions is from composingliger

1. Now that you're just about to graduate, do you have any idea where you want to work?

No idea whatsoever :P That's bad, right? Haha.

2. What is your favourite Milkshake flavour?

Chocolate! McDonalds milkshakes are delish! Now I'm craving one @.@

3. Are you still going to be visiting Melbourne later this year/early next year?

I don't think so :( I wanted to go to Melbourne after Sydney (I'm going to Sydney in January), but I just can't afford it.

4. What 3 songs would you choose to describe your day?

It would be hard to describe my day thus far, since I only woke up about an hour ago xD But I'll try:

- Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping by Grouper, for the obvious reason.
- Riverside by Sidney Samson, because I will be clubbing later tonight.
- Hot Hot Hot by ... someone I forgot, haha. Because it's hot :(

5. What's your favourite colour - any reason why?

I like black, white and grey, I think they look best on me :P

You remember her smile, because even if it was uneven or too toothy or it wasn't that pretty, it was the most beautiful thing in the world because it was hers.

I am posting this from my new ipod touch at mcdonalds... This is so fucking sick!!! Yay for lj app :D

Dust has cleared, the sky is blue again, hurrah! It was like living in a sepia photograph :P

Here's some more photos from it on the Gold Coast: http://theargus.net.au/news/historic-dust-storm-hits-gold-coast

The Sydney harbour bridge:



Crazy weather events are awesome (when they don't ruin lives)!

We had a crazy dust storm today! It totally moved up the east coast, all the way from Sydney to where I am (Gold Coast). EVERYTHING WAS ORANGE!!

This afternoon, I could stare at the sun directly because the dust was so thick.

Comparison image of a normal day vs. today:

Amy and I drove to the bank so I could withdraw money out of my account to pay for flights to Sydney.

As we were getting out of the car, I heard a very loud chirping noise. I went to investigate, and found a Cockatiel sitting up on the bank's pillar.

It must have flown away from its home :( We tried everything to coax it down but it eventually flew off.

It probably will not survive very long unless some people have more luck then us and manage to catch it.

Sad :( :( Chirpy has flown away three times, and each time we have very luckily gotten him back.

Firefox just gave me a weird/funny message ahaha.

I wish I could blow the $400 I've saved from commissions on a new wardrobe but I need to keep it for spending money at the L Word convention.

:C

Got about $5 to go til I reach my desired target in Paypal, does anyone want discounted icons? I normally charge $5 but I'm lowering them to $2.50 + .30 cents for Paypal fees C:

Thanks so much NQN for the awesome redline :D

September 7 = MY BIRTHDAY. The big 20. No more teens. OHHHHHHH SHITTTT.

I want:

- new clubbing outfit (dress, shoes, etc).
- Skins season 3
- my ears pierced

Having a party at my place. People seem to like house parties :B

Can somebody redline the legs? I can't think of a suitable position for them and it's pissing me off. The character is supposed to be tripping/stumbling.

All good, my program convener said I can take the course, so I'm back on track and graduating this year :D (Assuming I pass all my courses this semester, of course, but I doubt I'll have trouble).

I just applied for a job at a Lingerie store. Requirements state that you must be passionate about Lingerie. I certainly am >D

I applied to a job at Build-A-Bear. SO CUTE.

I also sent my photos in for another commercial opportunity (the same people who did the Uni commercial). Exciting :o

I also have a sore throat with a nasty white sore at the back and it's all red and angry and I dunno wtf to do because I can't get an appointment at the doctor.

And I'm about to go pack up the SNES and send it back. Awww.

That's about all the updates I can think of :P

I just bought myself a SNES and Sega Megadrive on Ebay :D:D:D RETRO GAMING TIME WOOOOOOOOO! I was thinking about buying a PS1 too if I find one cheap enough (to play Tony Hawk) but I dunno :P

Who remembers the Animals of Farthing Wood? C: I'm re-watching it. Nostalgia <33 I want to watch Little Bear next!
