Online quizes are fun 2: Bitch Factor

I am 28% Asshole/Bitch.
Part Time Asshole/Bitch.
I may think I am an asshole or a bitch, but the truth is I am a good person at heart. Yeah sure, I can have a mean streak in me, but most of the people I meet like me.

At least I now have confirmation that I'm not a bitch....

Confused? See here first, then all shall become clear.

I'm sitting at a computer in the Flinders uni library and I'm feeling a little melancholy...

This University has been my life for the last three years, and not only that. It has been the catalyst for all my experiences, loves, losses and the cause of my mental oddness (in a good way). In other words, it's been a major shaping factor in my life and has caused me to be what I am today.

I am not enrolled here next year and so I will not get to see all the people that I once hung out with regularly. I shall come back, to Tav functions etc... But it won't be the same. My time as a flinders uni student is over, and that to me is a sad thing. A Chapter of my life is closing and although I know that that means that a new one is opening, it's been such an important chapter that I cant help but feel wistful of letting it go...

Meh, I'm rambling... Farethee well Flinders, I shall never forget you.

Well, Today has been interesting...

Not that I've done much, but I have come to a major conclusion and that will drive me for the rest of the week, and hopefully carry me throughout.

Just a brief one to say still not word from Coles/Myer, but I did apply for 2 other jobs today. GO ME! And I might be able to get some financial support from uni etc. All in all things are kind of looking up.

It's actually getting me rather excited!!

Oh and my glasses broke on the bus... It's funny because that adds an extra 3 hours to my schedule tomorrow, and means I have to go to flinders, and to the city as well.

Peace out and enjoy uni next week!
Prost!!

Bleh. I'm sitting here with a million and one things to do and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with refridgerated timtams and read my novel.

I've done some washing today, but I've got shitloads more to do, I need to wash the dishes because we're out of bowls and big spoons, I need to go to flinders to sort out my graduation, I need to figure out how to divide the electricity bill, I need to call a friend of a friend to help me with centrelink crap and I think after all that I'll go peculiar. Actually I won't say that, last time I put that on a todo list I went potty for about a week...

*shrug*
In other news:
My computer has been formatted so I now have working icons!!! Thank you nathwan... START READING MY BLOGS!
And I just realised I never told you all about my valentines day!

Well, As Carl had to work on Monday, we decided to move valentines day to Sunday so we could celebrate it together all day. Now I wanted to make it really special for him, as from the sound of it his last few valentines days were shit, so I went (budgetedly) all out. I won't sicken you all with the details, but I got him a black teddy bear, and a card which he loved. Then we went to jetty road and I stopped in the florist... I don't know what he though I was in there for, but the shocked and surprised look on his face when I presented him with the rose I had just paid for (I ordered it a few days ago) made my efforts infinitely worth while. He was amazed. I love doing that to people...
We then went to fasta paste for lunch(ish) which I wanted to pay for =( and he bought me Mutter (awww) and got me a red carnation (they were giving them out, but it's the thought that counts and it was incredibly sweet). Then we wandered back to mine to hang out and talk shit which is one of my favourite pastimes. It was a really nice day all up, and I hope he enjoyed it too.
Then I saw him Monday anyway cause he forgot his sunnies and I dropped them off to him. =D

bleh, I better call this guy... See you later.

That's It, You all suck.

No body loves me and it's fucked! (except you Tim, troy and mud) These three people are the last people to actually put any feedback on my site and even after I put that post in there about people letting me know they care, Tim was the only one who did. (edit: Add Ve to this list, thank you sweetie)

Do I really mean so little to the rest of you? I know many of you out there who know this site exists have computers and regularly go on the internet so what is 5 minutes of your time to let someone know you care right? It must really be too hard to actually give a crap about someone else now days, it really must. I mean, why else would someone not be able to do just one little thing to show you they are there for you.

People these days suck, and it's little wonder that I really have no faith in 'humanity' any more.

Ok, I'm finally up and vaguely awake.

Last night was Necromancy, and as usual for some reason we did not get home till around 5-6am. Hence the reason why I'm finally awake...
Anyway, Necromancy was fairly cool. The Egyptian theme made for some interesting costume ideas (I saw Tutankhamen floating around (or at least his death mask)and also Anubis - stargate fans, don't let me down *slight sarcasm*), and there was a belly dancing display which was fantastic. It made me remember how much fun it was when I used to do it...
All the regular crowd was there and it made for a rather enjoyable night (despite the bad bartender and his prices, and the unusually not top standard music) for me at least. But I guess it all balance out when you think about it. For those who has worries on their mind, there were people who were content with their life. And I didn't see tain this time. =)
Can't wait till the next one though... Ikon are coming back and Chalice is playing too.

In other news:
Got back pay from centrelink, but as of the new year I am only going to receive $54 a fortnight so that really didn't help me much in the longrun anyway, but I guess it did give me a bit of money to play around with for a while.
I still haven't heard back from coles/myer so that isn't looking too promising... But I still have another week to hear back from them.
I put may name down on Seek - just in case.

that's all I can think of for now, oh and until I can figure out how to create links, here is a link to my online diary. I really have to start bugging Tim again...

Hoorah! I am officially an Adelaide Uni Student now.

I was in town today having coffee with Carl like I normally do on Thursdays and being the efficient person I am, I went and completed my enrollment at Adelaide while I was there.
I'd already done my enrolment online, but I still needed to get my student card updated and get the new diary (which I never use... Does anyone except the coupons??).

That in itself was an adventure as in the time I have been doing nothing at uni, they've changed where everything is! I had to ask where the student card centre was and was pointed to the Union building... Which I hardly ever go to except the unibar... But I don't like that place much, it's not nearly as comfortable as the Tav at flinders.
Anyway! After I found the place it turned out that I could get a new student card... YAY! Anyone who saw my old student card would understand why I'd want a new one but after all that I went through to make my hair look decent and not to smile too much... They stretched the photo width... AGAIN!!! At least I'll only have this card for a year, not three.
After that I went looking for the bookshop as I was in need of highlighters. Only to find that instead of a book shop, there was a cafe where the book shop used to be. After a moment on complete confusion I noticed a sign pointing the way I came telling me that the bookshop was that direction. I eventually found it in (surprise, surprise) the place where the big coffee lounge used to be. Weird, especially considering that the stationary section was in the area where unirecords (a CD store) used to be... Odd. Then I traumatised the sales assitant because every pen I'd chosen came through at a different price, or didn't know how much it cost.
After that I ventured to the library to gather some readings for my lecture in 2 weeks time, and after wrestling with actually finding the readings, then struggling to get the photocopier to work (it wasn't switched on properly) and then, 2 readings and over 50 pages of photocopying later... I managed to get out of that place in time for the after work rush.

I am now home and have just comforted a friend who is going into hospital tomorrow for a minor operation. So right now, I'm relaxing trying to psyc myself up for tomorrow where I have to go on a HOOGE cleaning spree. I have an inspection coming up on Monday :P

Oh, and Necromancy is on this Saturday. It has an Egyptian theme this time... Kind of odd for Necromancy, but should still be quite interesting.

Ok, that's it! CENTRELINK SUCK!!!!!

I have been so busy trying to keep up with rent and bills that I haven't had a chance to keep an eye on my bank account properly. Yes, I can tell that I've enough to pay rent etc but I've never really looked at incoming money, I've just assumed it was there.

Never assume anything, I've been told SO often and I should have listened. I've been trying to figure out a budget because I've been so low on funds lately and today I figured out why.
Centrelink stopped paying me 2 MONTHS AGO!!! And they complete bastards, as anyone who has to deal with them know. If you owe them money then they hound you until you pay. However, if they owe you money... They're not gonna back pay you... That's not their job. FUCKERS!!!!!

The thing is that I never got any notification that they were going to stop my payments, they just did. And so they are going to get a visit from me tomorrow...

pricks!

Right... My computer is getting slower... Even though I have ADSL.. I think it might be time to get my computer formatted... Properly. Damn it... I hate to loose my computer for a few days, oh well.

It's a Saturday night... So what am I doing home??? Well, I'm broke. Not normal broke but mega broke... I really need to start saving money again especially with uni starting back soon, and all the printing and photocopying that I have to do, not to mention text books, and food (the lunch I take is never enough, no matter what I bring). It's a nightmare on funds. Also I have to book a robe and mortar board hat for my graduation that's coming up... So, yeah... I'm broke.
That means I'm sitting in front of my computer instead of out with Carl at the Cranker (don't worry, I sent him there without me), being bored. So I thought I'd post.

I'm going to be in a film! Not a big one, but a film students film. Actually the second short film in a series of 5 that he is directing. It should be great. They've been using my flat to shoot the first short film over the last few weeks, and it's been interesting, so I volunteered to be in the second one. I'll let you know when we start filming... I'm gonna be an Actress! *strikes a dramatic, glamorous pose*.

Also, since I updated my blog, and SOMEONE never got back to me on re-installing my hit counter... (you know who you are), I have no idea of who actually looks at my blog. So if you could all post a comment to this post with your name or handle (even if posting anonymously) I would be very greatful.

There we are, short but sweet. Speaking of sweet...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

or happy comerciallised, unimportant celebration of consumerist society, which ever way you decide to look at it =).

Tuesday, February 08, 2005

Ok... I have been corrupted.

Carl and a few of his friends collects figurines when they can (afford it) and some of them are really quite cool. Most of them are from Todd McFarlain, the creator of Spawn. You can see them at spawn.com, go to toys. From there pick what you like, but I highly recommend McFarlanes Monsters series 2 and 4. NOT FOR KIDS! Trust me.
Anyway... Because of that I have been spending a lot of time in Kollectible Kaos (a store on rundle mall in Adelaide) lately. They also stock Bleeding Edge Goths, which are actually quite beautiful dolls... The one that caught my fancy however, was an exclusive one that is supposedly only available online to members of the site. Her name is Siphon and today she became mine. The only problem, is that she's also collectible, and so I don't want to taker her out of the box...

I am now a collector... And quite happy with it... Although I have no place to put them or display them... I have to wait till I get a big house with lots of room. Ah, dreams for the future.

In other news:
I've enrolled now, so I'm officially a student again. Although I still I have no real idea about what I'm doing. I enrolled online, and as usual, the website never tells me what I really want to know.
Still no news on the Coles/Myer job.

Thursday, February 03, 2005

Ok... I'm really stocked at the moment. Yesterday I got my tights that I ordered online about a week and a half ago and they look really cool. Plus they are really REALLY warm. It's funny actually. I ordered these about 3 weeks after Carl ordered his New Rock boots, and he still hasn't received them yet. Poor darlin...

Also, My group interview went ok, I think... We did a lot of group activities that were designed to show how well you interacted with others, could approach strangers and take on leadership roles etc. Now I have to wait up to a moth while they process the applicants and resumes. So I'm left hanging again.

I'm gonna head to Carl's tonight, he's got tomorrow off, because we were thinking of heading to BDO, but with it selling out and me not being able to get tickets... We're just going to wander around the city etc.

*WARNING: this post expresses the opinion of ONE person (ie ME) and is not meant to discriminate anyone else's likes or dislikes*

What is with the O.C?! I almost got into an argument with my flatmate because he for once wanted to watch it and it's trash! The only thing that separates it from normal American soaps is that it's not on every day (although it may as well be considering how many 'double episodes' and 'specials' they put on about it). And no one has been possessed yet. It sends bad body image to EVERYONE and shows of nothing but shallow spoiled Californian brats who can't handle their own lives. Yes, older people may be able to take it all with a pinch of salt... But not 14 year olds... They think that is soooo cool! and want to be like that because they are seriously starved for decent role models in today's society.
That, and supre have jumped on the band wagon and have shirts with "love the O.C." On them... What more proof can you need than it's bad.

Also, so much for Big Day Out... It's gonna be impossible to get tickets to this years show.
