I miss everybody

Sooo pretty much all my friends have left town now, on tues i sent Viv off on her way then had lunch in the park and said bye to Amanda and Lisa, and said bye to them, that night i went to bed at 9.15pm cause i couldn’t think of anything after being kicked off the computer at uni and strolling aimlessly round town for 2 hours which don’t get me wrong i love. but then Marvin came home and we watched movies and ate sushi.
next day i slept in till i was working, i love that i can tell Roy i think he is an uptight prick at work and after were mates again!! and we go for a drink then cook pizza at 2 am cause we feel like dinner.
anyway gotta got to work again, catch up more soon ok mum!!

some days ill sleep in till 3 then eat work, i don’t mind, i m enjoying it!

On friday i got up at 6am to meet up with uncle tony for brekky, my best meal of the week!! plus great conversation and company, good laugh that ol man!! then i got the tram to jennys and jumped back into bed with her for a few hours then we went to savers to trade in some clothes cause when you do that you get a discount! then into work for a 12 hour shift with one hour break! and i dont even really mind, i kinda got sore and smelly feet but the people i work with are great and just as the novelty of working at this cool place is wearing off, now i have to make the most of it beacuse ive only got like 3 more shifts!! i rekon i can now confidently say i can pick up any waiting job within a day!! i dunno if thats something to be proud of! work is also great cuse i have two big crushes on guys from work, Mike the head Chief and Ben the day bar boy from upstairs! yummy!

friday night after work me and roy went for an Argentinian beer at this south American place marvled over gross old people hooking up , discussed and argued like we usally do then we went to hungry jacks and he bought me dinner, cause he owed me money!! still now i can say i was taken out buy a guy and he brought me dinner in melbourne, but everyone will know the sad truth!!

so this is kinda strange, like every night round 2 am i hear Celene Dions titanic song playing justfaintly, i really cant tell if im going a bit nutty or one of my neighbours is just a really big fan!!

at the moment song wise im totally obsessed with ‘closer’ by kings of leon, the best song on the album
and also ‘im yours’ by Jason Mraz, great summer song, i dont care if its cheesy!!!

Vivienne and me

Vivienne has been and gone, we did a helluvalot of stuff!!!
I made damm sure that that girl saw as much of this lovley city as possible, i cant really say i turned on the weather for her, in fact god kinda turned on the tap. and it hardly stoped raining in the whole week, but still we had a brill time!
Tuesday

We walked through vic market, it was funny i bumped into ben and viv thaught i was just yelling out peoples names randomly so it looked like i knwe people, we just wandered really, went to the uber cool metroplis books where you can easly spend a day browsing then through some grungy alleys with all if not more appeal than gallerys, we sat in section 8 the container bar and drunk cofee while i was caught up in all the goss from home!

more soon…

Christmas pasta salad

Its really great that i still enjoy my work, see the novelty is wearing off but now i have to make the most of it because i only have like two more weeks of working there, I really do love the people i work with there awesome, and two of them are also very sexy, an added bonus.

but it is also nice to get nights off, like fri, it was mauds goodbye partay and there was no way i was working! i had to get in all my last hugs with my lovley maud, it was a sweet relaxed bbq, i miss her already but meeting her again when she comes to NZ in jan, yay

Sat me Lil and i channeled our inner childs and went to the Myer Xmas Parade, we saw dancers and marching bands and elmo and batman and bob the bilder, oh and santa!! yay!! shit there was heaps
of people!!! then we had icecream on the grass, then she had to go so i wandered up to lygon st festival where all the itallians, sing and eat, there wasnt much going on so i watches some 12yr old girls shake there booty on stage, then i bumped into Styen and his mum who is staying at our place for 3 days and we had a walk, up and down, we established that this was really less of a fiesta, and more juat a stret that had been closed off, i went home and made xmas pasta salad, it was made with xmas pasta which is shaped as stars and xmas trees!! and it had xmas colours too red and green capsicums!!

i worked that night we finished early so we all went upstairs to the bar that my boss owns too and had some drinks, ive had a bit of a cold so i asked dave to make me something medicinal, so i had some awesome honey lemon cocktail, whilst the othere were downing beers and vodka pyrimads!! we were going to head off to Rowans house warming which would have been awesome caus he knows everone who works at and hangs round at the two coolest bars in town, it would have been full of hot weirdo indies in skinny jeans but as me and roy and jules were heading to get a cab, we realised roy was fuckes, so i did the good thing and draggent hin home, not an easy mission, he was detirmined to get run over or arrested, that when he wasint jumping walls or walking into hungry jacks to yell ‘we boycot hubgry jacks cause hazel made a pasta salad’ i got him home safe in the end. it was pretty halarious!!

Uni, Mountians, Wigs, Whacked, China, Bananas

haven’t caught up for ages so here goes the last two weeks!!

this was monday morning at uni, it was crazy, i dont know how you are supposed to get your work noticed when it is crushed into a space less than a meter squares, sorrounded by lie 200 other students. well i do believe that my portfolio was stand out if nothing else and im hapy its over for the year.

so i finished uni and i had this weird felling of what should i do, i still dont really feel comfortable enough with anyone in my calss to go to the bar with them at 10am!! and all my international friends haden finished yet, soo i went to the movies by myself which is a lovley thing to do!! then at like 5 when lillian had had her hand in we met up at Workshop, our favourite bar by far and we had some drinks, i txt all the gang to see if any of them wanted to come for a drink, within 2 mins Mo and Roy were there, nice going guys!! then steyn and Maud came along too, it was lovley its always a very satisfying feeling to be done for the whoe year!! the most awesome thing that happened this night though was that we decided we felt like going on a trip,

soooo the next moining we jumped in the car Roy drove us, mo sat in the front and like the small children we are Maud and Styen and i squished into the backseat!! we drove fot 5 hours to the Grampians national park and when we got there we Climbed a mountian, its called Mount Abrupt, (cause its Abrupt) its got a great clif face down one side, and a fucken awesome view, i really love rocks, and i also love climing out onto cliff edges and dangling my legs!!

that night we camped, it was soooo sweet, it was a lovley qiet campground and we could make an awesome camp fire, and its a fun group to go out with and stuff, well Roy does always give me shit and mock me, but i give it back, he is like my arsehole Brother i never had!! lol

soooo next day we swa some pretty sweet waterfalls then got back on the road again, Road trip song for this trip would have to be New Slang-The Shins, ill always rember huddling under the blanket in the back with maud and steyn cause Roy refused to close his window!!!!

The reason we had to get back early is beacuse Maud and Lilian and i had an engagement, AKA my Uni end of year party Theme INCOGNITO. The funnest part of the evening for sure was dressing up with red lips and Black wigs and taking photos of ourselves, we looked soooo different! For some reason i was a bit off the whole party, Maud and lil could tell. I dont really know why. the booze was free and the costumes were funny. But I felt i was still an outsider after 6 months i still didnt feel that close with anyone. all i could really do is look foward to how cool our Unitec grad party will be!!

this day i took Styen shopping for a suit for the races…. mmmmmm men in suits!

This week i worked alot, you see the boss at work fired the manager cause she was crazy, all in all it is better for everyone but it leaves us with like 4 staff alltogether to cover floor and Bar sooo ive been a busy girl, should be ritch soon!!

On Sunday though we went surfing! and although i had done the exact trip before and i had to work till 2am the morning before i was up at 7am to catch the train to Gelong, the reason being Topi asked, and i cant say no!! Having said that it was great fun, Jenny and Topi and Marko and i had some retail at the surf shop outlets, i know, very un me! then we surfed and surfed and i was still shitty at it but having fun! jenny Ran me over and whaked me in the head with her board hard, so i was mildly concussed for the day, that made it all great fun!

on tuesday we got up bright and early and styen and i dressed in our Melbourne cup Finery. we met Lilian and Laura at melbourne central and got on the crammed full train to flemmington. when there we proceded to sit on a park bench on the train platform and observe the outfits and drink goon from drinkbottles, this is not easy considering it was 10am, so we sat there for about an hour and a half untill the police came and shuffled us along, we entered the races, did some betting then met up wit all the rest of the gang they had a good spot near the finish line and we had brought a picknick blanket and umbrella so set up, the day consisted of more drinking eating and lying in the sun, chatting to new friends, and the occasional yelling at horses that ran in circles. it was brill!!
that evening we woluld have done something but were feeling kinda hungover so we watched movies and fell asleep on the couch!

more work work work
on fri after work i felt like going home but roy convinced me into one drink, so we headed to croft and met with some other exchangees, mo and the danes, after a while it closed and soo Roy and Mo and i went along to a flash coctail bar called 1806, we just chilled out. really there was one moment when i thaught out loud what am i doing with a 29yr old German and a 27yr old auzzie in some bar at 4am, but the funniest thing really is that i feel totally comfortable with both of them!! Then we went to China bar open 24 hours we had some chineese food and when we walked out it was light! the sun was coming up,i really wasnt drunk we had been doing more talking than drinking, but that walk home was one of my favourite melbourne experiences yet, everything was fresh but it was warm and it was a new day and it just felt good! i do like dawn. (bad name though!!) the victoria market was open soo we walked through, i bought an avacado, roy was hastling me to bargin with them so when i bought some bananas for $2 he was like come on $1.90!, the lady just laughed, then we went home to bed.

Saturday we held an engagement party for a greek couple at work, it was awesome with live music and everything and as the night went on and the crowd got drunker, adam the groom said, have some drinks put it on my tab which was an 8 grand bar tab, so we did, my golly that was the drunkest i have ever been at work, but none of the staff noticed cause they were all worse!! it was funny, ill rember this night by drunkenly polishing cutlery to sex on fire by kings of leon, love that song, and spilling the cutlery water on julians crutch, whoops!!

sunday Laura and i went for a lovley walk by the yarra river, and visited the shrine of rememberence, very fitting since anzac day was the next day. it was really awesome at sunset, we went to crown casino and had mocktails, I hate casinos.

on Monday the Great Ocean Road Tour begun, it was my first experience being a real tourist!
