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!!!

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!

doo do do de do

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.

Pretty Shoes

I believe when i last left off i was looking forward to going home to watch prison break, well i was on my way home when Laura rang to inform me that actually the party tonight was at my house, ya know how it is, last to know. It was kinda lame cause it was all Germans pretty much and there not my favorite gang. but it was alright i had the most hilarious time dancing with mo and Laura. i got a text from mummy, telling me she sent me piccis of Jess’ B’day. so i checked my email straight away. Styen was like man you weren’t lying when you said you had hot friends!!  They had me sad sad that i wasn’t there it looked awesome. Anyway Chris had told out guests that they had to leave at 12. soo we didnt get evicted from our house, sooo at 12.30 me and styen, finally watched prison break.

That Day was fun too, it was the most beautiful weather, i missed the morning cause i was working but realistically i wouldn’t have got up till 12 if i wasn’t working anyway!!  When i got back Marvin was gonna get a haircut so me and Roy decided we would tag along and go and hang out on Sydney rd, in Brunswick, check out the op shops and stuff. Roy and i sat in a courtyard of a lovley cafe in the sun and i had pink grapefruit juice it was really yum! then we checked out some opshops, We met up with marvin again at the fruit shop, i ate a whole mango, it was heaven, it dripped all down my face! then we went to salvos with marvin and i was his fashion adviser, it was much fun i have always wanted a boy i can dress up!! Purple shirt, grey pants, and a blue waistcoat. I got some pretty shoes, I know, me? pretty????

Its Hot and Sweaty, and i love it!

After work on friday.. totally confused by this stage for some reason that it was saturday or something, anyway!! its summer it is soo nice and hot and i thaught i cannot lye on my bed and read my book althought this is one of my favourite hobbys! soo Laura and i met up and walked all the way to the other side of town to the National Gallery! the walk was soo nice i was wealing shorts and a shirt and i was sweating!! it was lovley. soo we went to see the great big art deco Exhibition that is on here it was really great, There was Frank Loyd Wright, Fernand Leiger, Eileen Grey, Coco Chanel, Joseph Hoffman, awesome!! then we went up to Lygon st where we had sushi sitting out in the stret and shared homemade icecreem and Gelato, it was very Romantic!!

Then we went to the Novo cinema, where they play nice artsy films we went to a movie not having any clue what it was about and we hit the Jack pot, Its called ‘My Blueberry nights’ and i think you should see it. and judge for yourself! Afterwords we checked out some new bars, met up wioth sarah for a bit, but basicaly me an Laura just hung out we plotted about boys and the sort!! it was lovley!

Right now must go home, me and styen have a date with Prison Break, Will catch up on today and me being angry and mad in the next installment!!

Soo it all came together in the end for uni on thurs i handed in my work, and i was happy with it. i wasnt exstatic, my work is still not really cool enough to get noticed or anything here. theres some pretty stiff compitition. We got our new brief it is to design labels and packaging for a polish vodka, should be ok and also an intresting topic to research!

On thurs afternoon Lisa, Ara, Sarah, Wilson and I went on an Adventure! only my second time out of zone one! we decided to go to savers to celebrate hand in. for some reason we decided to go to the one that was the firthest away from town, so we went on an epic train journey about an hour to get to Frankston, which anyone  will tell ya is the Wop Wops. It was a cool ride though, me and lisa and wilson Chatted whilst sarah and ara watched good olde Flight of the Choncords, on the ipod, they would crack up like every two mins and everyone would look at them weird!! we got some sweet scores from savers then i lost my Nandos Virginity. my first time was a bit of a let down. But ya know ya gotta try!! We then had another long trip back, it was all good though, it was great hanging out with new people, there all really nice, I think wilsons cute but he smokes! gross.

By the time we got back to the city it was 9.30 time for me to meet up with the international Gang at THE CROFT INSTUITE this is a prety cool bar it is fitted out in the theme of an old hospital, and kinda scientific like tey have large glass vessles all round, the drinks menu, is a “chemical closet store list, and there is a hospital bed in the toilet!! Goot times as usual, i was having some king of argument that involved biting with a sweedsh lad, Roy was wasted and attacking me humping and stuff, crazy boy, we were two cheap to buy drinks from the bar cause they were soooo expensive and so we got some from the liquor store and stealthed them it, ohh and i licked two cocks! they were drawn on peoples hands, but i think thats all the action im gunna get here! lol, and i got the most funnest piggy back from Mo all the way down the street, and he didnt even drop me!! I had to protect Jorien from the german serial womaniser!! and i still didnt have the guts to ask two finnish guys i like out on a date, no not together, i just cant decide at the moment! which one i like better! aaggghhhh!! lol fun night went home early likw 1 cause i had work at 8 the next morn. ohh  on the way home me and amanda had our first pissing in an alley experience, it was very relieving!

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…

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….
