This is what she made me. I think its way pretty, so it became an icon.<br /><br />In other news, Mitch is coming over after work tonight and I am feeding him, so I currently have my first ever attempt at glutton free lasagna in the oven. I hope lasagna still tastes of delicious when the glutton is taken out.Also, making cheese sauce with corn flour is much harder, and it goes gluggy fast. I think I may need glutton free cooking lessons...However, cooking was made easier by two things; 1) Bob and me cleaned the kitchen today, which was an epic mission as our kitchen was a shambles and there were like 8 loads of dishes and 2)I finally bought lightbulbs, so there is light in the kitchen again. More important than I thought.<br /><br />I have wednesday night off work for Mitch's birthday. This excites me because we are very probably going to go into town, which I haven't done in sooooo long, and there will be dancing!Yay for the dancing! Also, there will be dinner with his family first, which will be the first time I meet his brother. Apparently his brother is hard to impress, so I'm making it my mission to charm the pants off him (metaphorically) and prove I'm awesome. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:19671 2007-12-06T04:13:46Z 2007-12-06T04:13:46Z I am cold and sleepy. This is not an optimal state of being for essay writing. I have finished reading articles and compiling notes to make my essay sound smart, now I just need to smoosh it all into essay form. I can SO not be assed writing 2500 words write now! My plan is to have a break, maybe a nap, then do like an hours worth of writing to thrash out the basic structure, then leave it for the day and do the rest tomorrow when I will have deadlines forcing me to be a little more motivated. Its a bad plan but its the only one I can commit to. <br /><br />Now the only real question is if I want cake before my nap, and I have a theory that the answer is going to be yes. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:17225 2007-11-19T01:45:50Z 2007-11-19T01:45:50Z Mmmm wellington is like a comfy slipper that fits just right. I am so loving being back! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:13048 2007-10-26T23:15:23Z 2007-10-26T23:15:23Z Well today is Ash's birthday, and the poor boy only has me to spend it with, so we are heading off to see perfect creature. As I have only seen the ads and know nothing else about the movie I'm really not sure what to expect, but it has vampires so thus I'm in. Later we shall be having pizza and birthday cookies(he choose birthday cookies over birthday cake) and watching the rest of firefly, cause it is wonderful. Should be a decent day so long as we get through it with a minimum of bickering... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:12337 2007-10-23T04:55:59Z 2007-10-23T04:55:59Z Today whilst at work I was told that I looked like an emo, and later that I looked like a hippy. This intrigues me. I never really thought that the two styles had much in common. Neither did I really think that I looked particularly like either today. Maybe its because every style in Tauranga is so watered down, so as to be acceptable, that they all end up looking the same so people can't differentiate them. Maybe people in Tauranga are just dumb. Whatever it is, it gave me something to ponder.<br /><br />Still can't get hold of the missing family members, so am starting to wonder if they missed their plane home.It would be so like my step-mum...<br /><br />26 days guys! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:11666 2007-10-18T07:38:48Z 2007-10-18T07:40:49Z Yay, Ash just taught me how to get new pictures!I don't know how to do it still, but in the process of trying to teach me I got some new ones and that makes me happy. It is cold and wet in Tauranga today. This is unusual, but I like it. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:10724 2007-10-12T21:09:59Z 2007-10-12T21:09:59Z Yesterday I walked from the mount to town (almost a two hour walk) because the bus stops up here are fucked up and I got so pissed off trying to find one I just walked home.<br />It would actually have been a pleasant walk, but between town and the mount is the industrial zone, and omg the chemical reek of some of those places nearly made me sick.It also made me realise how retarded the Tauranga town planner must be. The footpaths were fucked up. Only on one side of the road, and whenever it got to a really busy section of road with no crossings, the footpath would end and start on the other side of the road. It didn't make sense.<br /><br />However I was at the mount getting pretty hair extensions(the colored ones not the ones for more length)so now on one side I have a purple and a black streak, without having to dye my hair. Made me happy. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:9509 2007-10-01T11:13:55Z 2007-10-01T11:13:55Z I can never understand why I watch so many teen-angst dramas. Seriously, why do I do it to my self? They always have the same plot lines, and in the end they always bring back bad horrible memories and put me in a totally emotastic mood, such as now. They need an emoticion for emotastic. But there is vodka, it is muchly good for supressing memories and reversing the emo-ness.<br />I need to get more of a life or Im gunna be insane by the time I move home and be crazy recluse lady whos no fun. I may have to buy a cat...that would be bad cause id have to spend a fortune on anti-kitty-death pills. <br />I went for a walk in the rain today, cause it reminded me of welly. It was nice. Sometimes I get so grumpy when its always sunny. I like the rain. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:8203 2007-08-10T22:46:12Z 2007-08-10T22:46:12Z FOB <p><img src="http://bluepyramid.org/ia/tsatfwf.jpg"><br><br /><font face="Georgia, Georgia Ref, Book Antiqua, Garamond" size="5"><br />You're <i>The Sound and the Fury</i>!<br><br /><font size="4">by William Faulkner</font><br><br /><i><font size="3">Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips<br />with a major crisis in your life.

Its amazing,i'm actually smart!<br /><br />A few days ago my computer threw a tantrum and shut down and when i turned it on again all my music was gone and i-tunes wasn't working.But i just fixed it!I went into all the little filey things and searched and did some stuff and i found where all my music was on the inside of my comp, but it wouldnt play, so i fixed i-tunes(which ok, i did by pushing random options and seeing what happened)and then transfered all my music back there.And now it all works again and i did it by myself!<br /><br />Ok, this may be real dumb, but i'm essentially computer illiterate, and so doing that on my own(when even Ash couldn't fix it for me either!) is like my super achievement of the year.I feel so proud of me.I deserve a cookie. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:7141 2007-07-24T11:22:14Z 2007-07-24T11:26:54Z Went to amazing grace tonight,with my mummy. Fabulous film,highly recommend it if you are into historical england or political debate or human rights.However, the movie was slightly ruined by the man infront of me. Drunk as fuck.<br /><br />Fine, the lovely fancy new cinema serves alcohol.This does not mean one gets drunk off ones face and ruins the movie for the rest of us.<br />At first he was satisfied just to make loud(and incredably retarded and ignorant)comments that he thought were hilarious.Then, as one anticipates from the title,amazing grace was sung, and he decided to sing along, loudly and off key. When his friend beside him told him to shush he had a loud long rant about how he could sing a hymn if he pleased, and if we were decent people we should all be singing.At this point a wonderful lady, whom i send lovely greatful thoughts to, went and got an usher, who gave him a warning. After this all was quite for awhile,until he fell asleep, and loud, obnoxious snoring filled the cinema.At this point I started kicking the back of his chair.When awakening (not from my kicking), he decided to strech out, and use the head of the lady in front as a foot stool. Whilst his friends grabed his legs and pulled them back, he protested loudly that he just wanted to strech out, and that, contrary to the dirty looks and loud whispering the poor lady was doing, she in fact did not mind having his feet on her head.Dumbass.He repeated this a few times, and as it was a packed cinema the lady found it very hard to move, till the whole row behind him (my row) shuffled around for her.When his foot rest was gone he contented himself with going back to his stupid coments, and abusing anyone who shushd him,till the movie was done.How could you actually sit through a movie with your friend who was acting like such a pig?Oh, the friends were sober too btw.<br /><br />Anyhoos, looking foward to wellington! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:5477 2007-06-19T08:08:42Z 2007-06-19T08:08:42Z whatever this band is on C4 Yay!I'm in my new house! No more mum treating me like a child!(wheres your sweater?have you done your laundry?dont forget to do your homework!eat your broccoli!AHHHH!!! im so glad to be out of there!!!!!)<br /><br />Unfourtunatly we do not yet have an extension cord thingy for our net so to acess it i have to sit on the floor.It is cold.Also Ash has only got round to setting it up on his comp which is annoying me.<br /><br />Bad points of house:its quite cold and needs heaters on alot, the shower preasure is crap and i live with two boys hu r smelly, leave the toilet seat up, and dont watch any of my tv shows so i have to fight the tv off them coz they wanna play playstation.<br /><br />Good points about house: No family! Lots of space, front and backyard which we dont have to mow, herb garden, pretty stuff such as hardwood floors(hence the cold) leather couches and a big tv with suround sound.<br /><br />Also already have Ash trained, when he gets up two hours before me he puts on the heaters so the house is nice and warm when i get up and getting out of bed isnt so hard.sometimes boyfriends are good. <br /><br />I would like to point out this is the first time i have ever lived in a house with no other girls. Hope that gos ok...i believe it should but we shall see... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:5007 2007-05-27T02:01:31Z 2007-05-27T02:01:31Z Well, thats it. My life is actually officially so dull that i am going to church tonight just for something to do. CHURCH people! with all my married highschool friends and the judgy judgy christians who think im a whore for being *sexually active* (although i really am so not right now). Im debating wether i'll get a better reaction dressing in my hippy cloths or going dressed punkd up...Or possibly as im going as my friend Amys morale support i should dress all normal like, but that takes away all the fun.<br /><br />Getting crazy depressed about not being in wellington. 6 months is a very long time to wait when all i want to do is go home now!!...come to think of it, this journal is very aptly named...if i knew this all the way back before i moved why did i do it? i am officially dumb. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:4821 2007-05-23T06:30:25Z 2007-05-23T06:30:25Z Another day, another pay rise....seriously, I love my job!<br /><br />However, today i had a wee creepy moment. Samoan guy who barley spoke or understood english came in and stated blatently flirting, and i just kinda smiled and ignored him. He came back latter and asked for my number, so i told him i was engaged and tried to walk away. He wanted to shake hands good-bye so i did, and then he tried to kiss me.(and i mean really kiss me, not on the cheek kiss me, though still not cool from a stranger when im at work) At this point i ran and hid behind my boss. Twas rather scary to be honest.<br /><br />Also i found out my ex boyfriend from 5th/6th/7th form(was on and off for a long time) is getting married in december. freaked me out. I feel like i should be a grown up now or something... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:4432 2007-05-19T00:28:47Z 2007-05-19T00:28:47Z Well everything is falling into place nicely.<br /><br />I was getting all shitty and pissed off because it seems to be almost impossible to get a 6 month lease in tauranga, and, as much as i love my mummy, i do not think I could bare another 6 months living with her till I move back to Welly. Yes it is infact possible to rent a place for a year and Ash could just get new flatmates when me and the other guy we are living with(Mike, kinda ironic...)moved out in december, but as the full time job girl ill prob be fronting most of the bond etc and then it gets too messy.<br /><br />But anyways, just got a call from my mums best friend. She is a nurse and is going to bermuda for exactly 6 months, and thought it would be benificial to us both if i wanted to rent her house while shes gone. She leaving all the plates, cups, furnature, tvs, heaters, everything!3 bedrooms, one is set up as an office, huge garage and exactly the area we wanted to live!and the best thing is, for a fully furnised house we are only gunna pay $90 a week each! It is so amazingly perfect, and works out well for her, coz she gets to rent out her house without having to move all her stuff. we move in end of may!<br /><br />the universe is making my path back to welly excisivly easy for me.<br /><br />Oh, and ash finally got a job, at the videostore. Yay free videos, and, for some reason, half price hells! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:4322 2007-05-14T06:13:02Z 2007-05-14T06:13:02Z Silverchair, Tomorrow Right, that is it. I am talking to Daddy dearest tonight and seeing if i can get rent aid back(or be aloud to actually use my own student loan) and im moving home next year, wether i stay with Ash or not. He's cool with the long distance so we shall see, but i am homeward boud!<br /><br />Also i bought the bestest jacket in the whole wide world today, its black and has lotsa buttons and buckles and is my pretty. Retail therapy eases all pains. I also got 2 silk scarves, a t shirt for ash and a very expensive necklace. I needed alot of therapy. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:3692 2007-05-03T07:54:13Z 2007-05-03T07:54:13Z EEEEE. I may be traped up here by my own stupidity but i get to move back to wellington for at least a monthish over december.<br /><br />Turns out Massey fucked up my papers more than origionally thought.....in fact they forgot to tell me that for any papers i do with them to count towards a degree i actually have to do 7 papers with them.<br />They only thought to tell me this yesterday......5 months after i move on to Tauranga on the guarentee i can complete my last two papers with them....hating massey right now.<br /><br />But, the silver lining is if i go do this one summer paper at Vic i can start my teaching degree next year, which was the plan anyway, and it just means at some point in my life i have to do one more classics paper to get a major in classics also.<br />And i get to come back to Welly!!!Incredably temporarily but i dont even care!Its made this whole life in hell thing so much more tolerable, with its little bright shinning ray of hope....<br /><br />Also, applied for a flat today. Moving out of the family home will make my life filled with squishy happy things, so i hope i get it. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:3117 2007-03-21T06:06:57Z 2007-03-21T06:06:57Z queen You know ive just worked out i still dont really know how to use live journal all that well.....meh.<br /><br />Yay!

Thus i took the opertunity to go into town and do all my boring chore type things with the bank and AA and what not, and go buy things while bossman was acctually in the shop coz he has to decide what we pay(theres no set discount).<br /><br />I have now got a new silk(real silk!!!mmmmmm the yumminess of it!) top thats purple and sorta japanese stule, and a new silk skirt(my third) and a pretty new purple necklace to go with my top. altogether normally $250 and i got all three for $100. This made me happy for three reasons. 1) i had $100 that i could just spend on clothes, 2) my staff discount is mega insane goodness in the money saving department, and 3) mmmm more yummy silk clothes for my wardrobe!!<br /><br />I must confess i am starting to dress a wee bit more like a hippy these days...all three of my new skirts are full length and bright colours and patterns, im wearing big jewellery and often am barefoot but i dont really care. Id still blend in in welly (then again who wouldnt?) and even if i do stand out in Tauranga i take that as a good thing coz i def dont wanna blend in here!<br /><br />Anyways it is a lovely gorgeously sunny day here so im going to take the opertunity to bake myself for awhile and being im home alone maybe get rid of a few tan lines...This is the one other reason Tauranga is tolerable, im slowly losing the pasty wellington whites!Though probably gaining skin cancer in the process...Sigh. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:2023 2007-02-26T10:42:03Z 2007-02-26T10:42:03Z ...do cicadas count? Went to lunch with Hana and Amy today.We have decided that being we have all just moved back to Tauranga and all know like no one but each other, we are going to do weekly pub quizes on tuesdays and try make friends. at the least this means i have an excuse to go out and get pissed once a week...<br /><br />Also, Hana is driving down to welly for st patricks day, so if i can get the time off work i'll be triping down with her, which would at least give me a welly dose!!<br /><br />Hehehe when Hana dropped me home today she forced me into a driving lesson.....imagine people....me behind the wheel of a car....dangerous! she made me keep the hazard lights on the whole time. i couldnt stop laughing at the concept of me behind the wheel. a scooter is one thing...i will only hurt me...<br /><br />Also, am at dads tonight, having some time out from the freak show that is my household, its doing me wonders and am contemplating doing it more often. possibly nessisary for my mental health! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:1256 2007-02-05T00:20:09Z 2007-02-05T00:21:13Z None Well for the first time in weeks i actually get to spend some time on the internet. Living in a house with WOW addicted Ash and my computer addicted bro is really sucking!i can't wait till we get wireless net and i can use the net on my laptop, i will actually get to go online! However right now its the Superbowl, and the Colts (Indiana's home team) are playing the Chicago Bears, so Ash is ecstatic and my bro has decided to watch also, leaving me the internet all to myself, Yay the superbowl! <br /><br />I miss wellington and everybody so much!I'm working heaps at the moment, which by the way i totally love, its like getting payed to play barbies with real people! But everyone up here only wants to hang out during the day. understandable i suppose being the weather is GORGEOUS (except for today and yesterday, my first days off in ages, go figure) and they all want to go to the beach and stuff. However i'm very much a night person still, so i'm muchly missing curve and my insomniac wellington friends. Sigh. <br /><br />I suppose at least i can rejoice in the fact theres finally some good tv coming back on, and i no longer have to suffer through the repeats of sky one and disney, or the endless gossip of E....but they put House on at the same time as Ugly Betty! i am so upset. dam tv networks!i still haven't decided which to go with either...last week i switched between the two but that didn't work so well.......Can you tell how dull my life is when i'm ranting about tv? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:blondebubble:1005 2007-01-20T23:13:58Z 2007-01-20T23:13:58Z hmm...this is all very complicated and i'm sure its actually not but oh well. So I'm back in good old Tauranga now...Yay? At least the weather is nice, and unpacking and setting up a whole new room is kinda fun (but Ash keeps trying to hog all the closet space the big poo, its my bloody closet!). Anyways, got woken up bout 20mins ago by a family friend who had come to visit mum pounding on my door saying "Wake up, arent u having lunch with ur grandparents in like an hour?" ummmm what the hell? as far as i was aware my grandparents were in Napier, haven't even spoken to my dad yet since iv been back....anyway, get up coz im all confused(this really does seem to be my natural state of being i think) and call my dad. weird old lady answers. after a few confused minutes realise its my nana. shit, am having lunch with grandparents, thanx for telling me dad. so thats where im going very soon.and lucky Ash gets to come too!(hehehe karmic payback for stealing my closet space).<br />on the plus side tuesday morning im heading into Shambala for my interveiw/orientation thingy so that will be good. money is always a good thing, and the job should be fun.<br />Ummm, big day out kicked ass, was sooooo much fun. my poor baby brother tho...Iv decided, from big day out, that my brother is actually emo...the anorexic little bastard showed up at the big hot day long concert in long black pants, black shirt and black jersay.when i asked him why he said"i might get cold later".....k, so carry the sweatshirt, or coat check it?i have also noticed his long hair has a sumwhat floppy emo fringe going on. but anyway, he is getting outta lunch with the grandparents because the only bits of skin he had exposed (hands and face) are burnt as all hell and covered in huge blisters....clearly he hasnt learnt that emo kids need sumblock to cover their pasty whiteness...i feel pretty bad for him tho, i know that pain all too well. anyways, spose id betta go pretty myself up...sigh. will explore more on live journal later.
