Last night working, and lilian and Marvin came and hung out at the bar the whole night. i was a busy girl though i was like running the whole restaurant by myself cause there was no other wait staff on!! i was rockin and we got nice tips,  by the time me and roy were done, Marvin and lilian were well pissy!! we went for a night cap at Prudence the rad bar on the corner by home and then went home, i had my first sleepover in like forever cause lilian stayed over, before that though marvin managed to pick me up flip me over and knock my head into the brick wall, i have a lump,

This morning we had our first ever flat outing, well there was no food in the house either that or we were all to scared to open the fridge cause it stinks to all hell!! sooo we went out for brekfast. nice

My Flatties and my flat

ive just been putting together my portfolio, heres some pics i took the other day of my vodka bottle and package design.

Kron vodka, would you drink it???

A week in the life…

its catch up time, well i wont bother catching up on everything but heres a few things ive been upto. Events that i have made my presence known include

- The royal Melbourne Show. Jenny, Matthias Lillian and I got to pet small animals like lambies and goaties, free food tasting, watched a sheep get shawn and went on awesome rides that flipped my insides out then in again. It was like a giant A&P show. it smelt like poo in some places, but i had fun

- Went to the movies with the dutchys. you would not believe the amount of times i an the only one who dosn’t speak dutch. sometimes they just speak dutch to me! oh well at least its a lovley language. we had dinner then Jorien and Maud and I went to the arty cinema Nova, and watched a film set in Beruit.

-Wednesday Exhibition. Nior, a local kinda painter sculpture street artist. http://blog.niceproduce.com/?p=1851 he does weird creatures with long noses! anyway Amanda and Lisa and i really enjoyed the free wine, yum, then we had dumplings for dinner in Chinatown. we were kinda tipsy cause were all tired from such a long week, i flicked the table behind us with a flying chopstick whoops!! they were really tasty!

Lisa and I, chopstick fight! hayyyyy ya

- I dont really know where i was up to but on frday i worked, then me and Styen watched the last episoses of the second season of prison break. it was the end of an era now we have completed season one and two, we have not yet found a way to source the 3rd season. So in true Hazel-and-Styen-watching-prison-break fashion we lay in bed and are ice cream from the tub and watched as they triumphantly escaped!

Ahhh tradition...

- well Friday night it was raining so i felt like staying home. Styen was bloody going camping in the Grampians so i couldn’t exactcally use the rain as an excuse not to go out to a bar, Plus it was $2 wine night at La La land! so i met up with Maud and Lillian there and we had our FAIR SHARE of $2wine, happy hour finished at 8 so by then we were well stocked up and on the way to being crunk! later we went on in to town, to workshop our fave place, met up with Ben and Topi. It was Fun, Lillian was drunken! lol. i got home at like 1 pertty early, considering Chris and Marvin only got home at 6.30 am! the woke me, up and we hanged out for a while, they brought flowers from the market, for the flat! calendulars, I love calendulas, i ate some and they thought i was weird!

-on sat marvin and i went for an adventure to Coburg to get his hair cut, i went for a walk, it reminden me of the suburbs of auckland, there was nothing to see and no people. so i walked back.

- That night i got a new job. I had a trial at the Money Order Office aka MOO. Roy works there as a bartender and he hooked me up! its a really flash wine bar restaurant, the wine menu is 30 pages long, no jokes!! anyway it is a big step up from the last job, and the wages are better and there are hot guys that work there, what more could a girl ask for! Trial went really well, after like 3 hours, word around town was that i was the “shizzle” sooooo all good!

- sunday i went to the dream festival, we chilled on the grass and watched cool bands, boogied a bit and chatted and ate ice blocks, i had 4 layers of sunblock on but had to retire to the shade at times, it was a scorcher!

Maud entranced by the band..

Ben and Lillian and Jenny in the hot hot sun

I am a Tennis Pro…

I Lie, Im not really a tennis pro, Tricked you!! On sat i went round to Anna and Sarahs and Nalini who is there photographer friend, came round and we posed as some crazy tennis cats for these photos, it was fun! but cold and sore trying to fit into size 7 shoes!! then we had dinner and hung, early night cause on Sunday Anna ans Sarah ran a Marathon, Crazy!!! They sent me home with lots of goodies cause annas moving to U.K. in a week and needs to get rid of shit, she gave it to me in this wheelie suitcase which broke when i was like 100m down the road, i looked like a funny homless hobo the rest of the half hour walk/tram/walk home!! lol

Serious sports stars

Sunday was Brill we managed to do absolutely nothing which i believe is quite an achievement. Since Styen is in Tasmania and Chris is in Cairns for Mid semester break, its just me and Marvin at home this week, which is awfull i cant stand him… na thats not true…. its quiet at home but its cool. he was gunna get up early and do uni work. I had desegnated this day as my holiday, my day to do Absolutly nothing!, i got up round 11, and made us a rocking brekfast, then went back to bed to read my book which is really cool, novel about sex and art, all a girl needs! meandered around a bit…. oohhh marvin gave me one of his tracks he has made to write some words too that was sweet, found some nice words, its a dark kinds Bjorkee tune at the moment but we’ll see what comes of it!! so when it was about 3 we finally decided we should go in to the library. had to stop by Workshop first for a coffee, I Heart Workshop <3 he he thats soooo awful! soo just as we were leavimh to go to the libary Jenny txt saying that the libry was closing in 15mins!! so we turned straight back around and got a jug of beer (Montieths gold on tap, what can ya do?) and proceded to hand out, Jenny came like an hour later and hung too, we of course were in perfect timing for the free Sunday night BBQ again Yay! Oh heres me and jenny under the umbrella, scoring some bad luck! inside at Workshop>

Marvin got drunk cause he dosn’t usually drink beer, he was being very embarrassing and humping things, seriously who would behave like that in public!! (please sense my sarcasm) then me and Jenny went for a tram ride to North Fitzroy to the Nightcat bar where they have salsa on Sunday, she showed me a few moves, but im naturally Klutzy. she danced real awesome with some people the only people that would dance wit me were Jenny and a dancing instructor and Ibo our mate and the Biggest sleaze in the bulding!! mmm, managed to get out of that one luckily!! so i just watched…

Gawd, where do i begin… catch up time…

K… On tuesday I baked Cakes… Me and Chris and Roy the cool neighbour chose a rocking playlist for the upcoming party! luckly it was like two to one against the trashy euro techno soo we got some good rock n there! when it hit midnight we all said happy bday to chris and they forced me to give them cakes, and so i did, they all sat there in heavenly bliss and that is how i succeed in arousing and fulfilling five males at one time, i think thats probably the best ive done!

Wednesday night was chris’ Party. I burnt my finger with hot oil, i met some new people. we danced we drank. Oh it was really funny Chris tried to charge people an entrance fee to his party!! $3 what a stupid amount! anyway we all told him it was a pretty shitty idea but he was absolutely sure of it!! it was hilariously he would get all mad and defensive every time we brought it up! then never ended up charging anyone!! oh and this party was different than the rest cause we had lights, fary lights, and a black light and redlight and bluelight and a green light, PIMP! at 4 we had rid the house of most the people… Marvin, Mo and I cleaned, a bit then we ordered Pizza delivery and ate it in bed!

Thursday due to my No Goon Diet i felt fine!!! yay I went to uni, that probally went as badly as a day ever has for me at uni,  I didnt really know what hw were supposed to have for crit, The tutor said to me “thats just not good enough Hazel!” soo all really encouraging!! yay i love uni! But thurs night was fun, we had a visit from our lovley landlord, she told us this was our second warning, we could not have raging mid week partys till 4am or people spewing on the neighbours doorstep or staying over on the couch, She told us our house stunk like beer and that three different neighbours had complained about us just this week!! next time we are going to be given 14 days notice then we have to get out!! But my friend Josi Invited me to come and see the opening night of a musical that her boyfriend had written. it was about the politics of the running of melbourne uni, quite hallarious really when presented as a musical.. it was great i was sitting next to fred who wrote it and he was like mouthing every word and getting really into it , they were both sooo nervous at the beginning. It was a mint show, really sweet outfits and live music, and it was great to see people of our generation, actually making a stand, a protest. i really enjoyed it.

soo i went home to get some sleep, but marvin convinced me to drink some wine with him  and watch a dvd, twas funny after like 2 glasses we were both, tipsy, crazy 15percent auzzie wine..

Friday when i woke up for woek at 7 i felt like the walking dead from lack of sleep. the whole time i was working i was looking foward to coming home and lying on the couch and watching Prison Break (on to first season now) it was totally worth it!! Then i made dinner for my friendey Jenny and we went to Pruedence wich is our local bar, it is like 30 steps from my door so a totally swet place to get crunk then crawl home… but thats not what we did, we just hung out and soaked up the atmosphere which is great, it is an old record shop that started selling beer and now evovoled into a bar that plays records,  we sat in the outdoor bit with fairy lights and chatted to some friendly auzzies who worked for the Lonley Planet Guide!

Im still sore

Lol im sooo unfit. On sunday i did some homework at uni, then i headed out to the Carlton Gardens where some of my mates were playing soccer. i was just gunna watch but the boys convinced me to play!! I was the only girl, i was playing in a dress and boots and it was muddy and i managed not to make a fool of myself, it was a miricle!!! it was really fun too. i might even go back next week, i know this is sooo un me! after an hour ( the boys played for 3 hours!0 i went to workshop which it the best bar ever and me and maud caught up, thees couches nice… then jorien and jop and styen and fernando joined us and we got jugs of beer and some free BBQ action, It was a moment that was just like ” this is the life” mabye endorphins from sport went straight to my head or something!! lol anyway couldnt walk properly all monday and tuesday!!

Monday Styen dumped Laura, My flate mate and my friend… Hope it dosnt get weird.. Oh well honesty is the best policy! That same night he was in another womans bed!! Mine watching Prision Break!! lol we got the first season, luckly not the whole one, wouldnt want to get addicted, me and chris joined the wideo shop,  its sweet vids are really cheap at out local “Movie Box” but out dvd wont play them cause it is the wrong region code, so we burn them on chris’ comp and so we have a dvd collection!

Last night Amanda and Lisa came over to my house for din and to borrow my sleeping bag to take to Tazzie! they forgot the sleeping bag!! i made pizza it was good shit, we discussed boys for example my Finninsh crush Topi, who is infact pictured below!! reowwwww, yum!

Today i worked, Tomorro im working, Big Dilemma, cant decide wether to Buy Mac now, yay music and photos will live again and i can do work from home and i will own a georgus black mac… But i will have to work at least 3 days a week to keep myself afloat for the rest of my holiday,

Or just have fun and spend my $ on shit and adventures, and not work so much and party more… i really need some help deciding! think aboutr it, it is not an obvious decision

Thankyou! and goodnite

Sleep is for the Lucky and the Dead…

After work me and Marvin headed out to some other random suburb, Abbortsford, yes, we went to the Melbourne Stencill art festival, there was this exhibition of heaps of sweet stencil art works from round the the world and a workshop you could to to stencil a t shirt and like a live diplay of some stencillings and street art, it was a really mint show, But it made me decide that i want to do stickering… i like it better.. and its easier.. I have some ideas up my sleve about how i can leave my mark on this city… He he we both had M.I.A. paper planes song stuck in our heads and kept having sing alongs…., yup loving on that song rite now

Ohh and we went to the park, ohh and we missed that train...

So that night i was gunna stay home and do some homework….. so i did my lino cutting, fun, ya can hardly call that homework. Got convinced to come to a party for a bit.. us plus cool neighbors walked round in circles for ages trying to find, place, fun times but a bit rainy… we arrived at the giant German Sausage feat and there was a disproportionate amount of German males and it stunk like SAUSAGE… they did have a roof top terrace which would have been cool. if it wasn’t raining…. Hung, same old, got mocked about sheep by my auzzie friend, met a few new people, tried to chat up my Finnish Pursuit.. I got kinda tired cause i was sober and just cause i was tired, i was gunna go home at 12, then 1 i made it home at 2.30 yay sleep, finally sleep, i snuggled in and dreamt of what a good girl i was, planning to get up early and be at the libary when it opened to do some stuff for uni…. well i did get up early i guess…. yea so the party ended up migrating back to my house at 4am, the awful european techno began again, and the screetching, and the various drunk people appearing in my bed… I went and danced for a bit cause there was hookups happening im my bed and i wasn’t involved! lol tried to sleep, i think i slept for a bit, i dunno, someone came and asked me if i had any more alchol, and woke me up again, i was starting to get a tad shitty as the sun was up and my alarm was too go off in like 2 hours… No major awesome ending like i slept with 4 guys in my bed or i sat on the roof and sung Mariah Carey songs as the sun came up, im still a tad pissed off and tired, but its arite, next time i might go Phsyco, yes… mmmm. that could be fun….

Marvin McClellan Jr and Christian Weinand, My Flatties

My Flatties Marvin and Chris

Serious stuff like Flatting and Jobs

Theve all been fucked around a bit… Nathalie the English girl, left us about a week ago maybe longer, thing is she never told us she was leaving, she just took all her stuff, she then proceeded to txt us telling us she was coming back, i was quite confused at this point. I kinda hoped she didnt come back because her and chris would fight every time they talked, yes he is a little obnoxious but she was a lot weird fine art student/ big drama queen. so shes out now, I got to move int her room which is way bigger, and it is on the other side of the house, i can still hear everything but not quite as loud… lol, i will miss my conversations through the wall with the boys, but my new room is a pretty cool spot, lots of space for extra people to sleep over! Hint hint!  So my mate Styen the one from the Netherlands is moving in…. he goes out with my friend laura so thats cool, there might be another girl around some of the time!!, but other than that its just me and the boys, or men i guess, whatever you want to call them… bit different than home huh! All good though.

Jobs, well i thaught i had this one job but they have been majorly fucking me around, I had a trial, that was all good they said i had the job then i called a week latrer abd thy were like oh no we dont need you come in and pick up your pay any time, so when i went in to pick up my pay they were like o since you rung 3 days ago 3 prople have quit, do you want the job and ao i was like yes then i worked on saturday, then i rung yesterday to see if i had more shifts and thy sair ther want someone more experienced. Fuckers! so today im applying for more, this morning i appled at a cafe that is like themed around the footy!! lol desprate!!  im really desprate for a job cause i really want to buy a black mack book, extra memory and its black… mmmm i love black! i Need it, cause i totally need a mac book for 4th year and also the labs have really shit opening hours here! i had to get up extra early on Monday to do work cause the labs closed at 5 on sun, Whats with that!!

There really is quite a story to go with this…. after our long but exciting tour of the awesome little alleys and lane ways filled with awesome street art and alternative drinking and eating spots, we ended the tour at this sweet bar that is in a container, with heaps of outdoor seating , i had muled wine and dumplings from next door… got chatting to an English girl Nathalie, she mentioned she had a house with 2 rooms free… the were $200 each, up by Victoria Market, i said no i couldn’t afford that much, she somehow managed to convince me i should come see it, anyway, maybe the price was negotiable… so we walked back along the way she fuly sold it to me, power included, warm gas fire, spiral staircase, fuly furnished, green trim and furnishings, she sold me on green, i belive she wil be great in realestste if the Art thing dosnt work out, we got there i looked around, prety sweet, i decided it i could get it for $170 i would do it, i owe it to myself after a year of living in the lounge/hallway! lol + save on transport and stuff, its like 10min walk frm uni, the land lady came she was showing round others, 7 of the 8 were asian boys! i told the lady i was intrested but could only pay $170 at the most, she said NO it wouldnt cover her costs… she was gonna give the rooms to that asian boys Nat was sad, i was sad my dreams crushed may have had a little tear in my eye, “oh go on she says take it for $170, i cant stand people crying, sooo i got my room, im not proud of the methods i used to get my own way but it worked didn’t it?? then two others from our exchange programme that nathalie had mentioned the flat too came round, they were gona share so we convinced them to hare the big room, he he its funny that they share cause they both big guys… there is Christian aka Chris aka jugs, the guy from the party who thrilled over jugs!! he is german, studying electrical engineering, good guy, the other guy is Marvin, he is from NY,studying media and sound and stuff, very cool, funy dude… i do believe with this gang i should have a good time,
