another psyche quiz coming up and all i can remember is this...

Innocent:
"you've all been breathing for the past hour and a half."
"breath is the horse and the mind is the rider."
"when you're asleep you're not dead."
very reassuring comments by our psyche professor. But then she had to go spoil it all...
Naughty:
"unhook or just take off any tight clothing and uncross you legs."
"a less sexy or romantic view is..."
"engorgment of...other body parts..."
She is just such a kack!

I'm as kinky as a cheap garden hose

I'm naked and in the middle of New york City and i dont know where my hotel is
I'm naked and I'm on a train with my uncle
I'm naked and I'm sitting a calculus exam

You can tell that I'm dreaming because i would never sit a calculus exam. But imagine this - now what does it mean?
that was the question of the day in the psyche class this morning.

then we were discussing the best way to sleep and she suggests that if we dont fall asleep after 20 minutes in bed then we should get up and do something until we are drowsy. She also suggests that we should do something pleasurable for 10 - 15minutes every night in bed before we actually sleep. then she kindly reminded us to keep beds purely for sleeping and sexual activities.

is my teacher kinky or what? why can't she pick normal examples?

the last kiss

another movie that everyone has to go see.
Apart from our mega ten hour tour of Washington on Saturday, we also went to see a movie because we needed to sit down but we wanted to make the most of our time.
This movie is so moving and so unpredictable that the ONE weak person in it doesn't even register. The characters are truly believable and excellent and it uncovered my biggest fear about relationships and growing up.
It also uncovered my deep secret love for Casey Affleck but when you see the movie, you'll understand.

"i just really liked casey affleck. i mean i just really liked the his character."
"do you like casey as well?"
"no. just his character"
5minutes later.
"yeah, i really love casey affleck...his character."
"OMG! Just say you like CASEY AFFLECK!"

i like shiny things...no wait, make that 'i like things'

the signature asleep and drinking something at the New Paltz bus stop photo. loves it.

Saturday 8am: Left the Braxton Hotel to go to the White House and there was ONE protestor there. Seems like everyone takes weekends off. Then we saw all the washington monuments, the korean war memorial, the second world war memorial (which we didnt get a mention in!), the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, the Holocaust Museum and Capitol Hill. It was around 2pm by then and we decided that we should start our own Washington Tour Company because, lets face it - it doesnt get any faster or more cultural than that.
Its funny to think that the president of the united states of america (obviously not important enough for me to hit the shift key so the words can be in capitals) might have been just behind us checking his emails and having a bagel with cream cheese.



these photos were taken at the end of the day (why did i say that? its just bloody obvious) but because we had so much fun, we went back and took awesome happy snaps of the cool lights. Then we walked back to the hotel singing some Bryan Adams, Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, Summer Rain and the Simple Life Song. That's hot.
also, there are heaps of squirrels and stuff running around the street which we've gotten used to but that night we saw a rat. like a real rat. I've never seen a rat before and we both just stood in the middle of the street and screamed.
SIMPLE LIFE LOVERS: the place where Paris and Nicole did one of their internships (with butt and nipple readings).
The BEST sohocho (soy hot chocolate) that i've had in america. the barister Andree something at the washington starbucks near the national mall. and you cant see but im wearing my 'very sexy' tank from the best victoria's secrets on 34th street in NYC.

we thought this was air force one until we realised that airforce one is a plane not a chopper. good old harrison ford movies.
A well deserved rest at the end of the day at Sharper Image in Georgetown Washington. Totally taken to taking advantage of samples in stores as we always go into Sephora and use their Shisheido face wipes and Pout lip glosses.
stopped in NYC on the way back and went to the world trade centre. i wanted to smile but then i thought the better of it and so now i look like a moron. plus we had all of our luggage so we weren't happy campers by this stage anyway.

This is the Toys are Us with the ferris wheel inside. This is the Toys R Us with the Jurassic Park Dinosaur in it. This is the Toys R us with make your own toys. This is also the Toys R Us where I left my camera on top of a PSP and forgot about it ( i knew there was a reason why i hated those things) .

best supporting role goes to...

almonds.
almonds bloody everywhere
almonds in your shower
almonds in your bed
almonds in your boy leg G's
almonds in your head

almonds on the slippery bridge
almonds on the muddy street
almonds on the mountain tops
almonds on the turkey meat

almonds almonds almonds almonds
almonds almonds almonds almonds
what a funny word
almonds bloody everywhere

it's been a long wait

Confessions of a Broken Heart by MaddBritts
(sung to the tune of Lindsay's lohan's Confessions of a broken heart)

I wait for the milkman to bring me some cereal
and i wait for socks and sandals to say something funny
and i carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
international crisis that only gets harder

why'd we have to go?
why'd we have to go?
why'd we have to go?

Brittanneyy to Maddissonn, Brittanneyy to Maddissonn
I am tired but i am hoping
Silly to Billy, Silly to Billy
I am longing, a part of me's dying
to be home, these are
the confessions of a broken heart

I sleep with my teddy to make me feel better
and i dream of the city life
the one i remember
we're all alone trying to express
how restless we're growing in the middle of this mess

So why'd we have to go?
why'd we have to go?
why'd we have to go?

Luci to Anna, Luci to Anna
I already know you, I'm so glad that I do
Luci to Anna, Luci to Anna
Did you ever think, that it would be like this?!
Cause these are, these are
the confessions of a broken heart

I want to
I deserve to
I have to
I.....
I need to!

Threewei to Sharon, Threewei to Sharon
Feels like I'm dreaming, I hope that I'm dreaming
Threewei to Sharon, Threewei to Sharon
Help me get through
Do you understand me?
I am super angsty!!!!
these are
the confessions
of a Broken Heart

ohhh...yeah

I wait for tomorrow to take me close to home

on a good day

DID YOU KNOW?
- the iris of your eye is actually muscle. So if you have light blue eyes, you have light blue muscles.
- your fingers and your toes are interchangable on your body. So, if you lose a finger you can just replace it with a toe.

so i didnt get so good on the exam

but im gonna make fun of general psyche anyway. here's what i heard today
"i dont know what that is like since I'm not a tick."
"i'm not a bee."

And our favs
"everytime you feel the underwear press on your body..."
"Whether you feel a kiss or a pinch."
so despite everything that is not kinky about this woman, we feel that she is some sort of s and m/dominatrix in the bedroom.

yes we have too much time on our hands, but you know, thats the first thing i think about when i meet any new person.

We're so proud of you say we're so PROUD of you!

that's what they chant at SPIRIT DAY when a hall finishes their lip sync act. It's soo sweet im going to say that when i get back to australia. can you imagine? Someone manages to push the correct button that makes the tape recorder camera thing start
Anna: WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU! SAY WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU!

it was good...but i dont agree

went to the movies (for the third time this week) and saw the black dahlia. its so crap that i cant be bothered checking if that's how it's spelt.
the plot wasn't mysterious, thrilling or chilling but there was a man sitting behind us who was. Actually, wasn't sure if it was a man or an elephant for a while but then there was a lesbian sex scene and we heard his belt unbuckle.
Even then it was 50/50.
Imagine 2 hours and 9 minutes of snotty breathing. As Ja'mie (from we can be heroes) says "I'm sorry, but you just sound really fat!'

I had to make myself feel better with my new mascara* and a bit of old school Mariah Carey.


* Maybelline New York XXL for $3.99. Don't you feel good already?

yeah...actually, tests are hard here.

but i cant exactly figure out why...
PLUS i want my things to be clean, but i can't be bothered cleaning.
AND im really regretting getting that 'billy' tattoo. I don't even like Billy anymore.
FURTHERMORE after two bottles of Revlon Colour Silk, only my roots have turned medium auburn. That's not what i bargained for. i want my money back.

goodnight silly goodnight billy

...wait, who's billy again?
we found a sneaky way to become inhibriated (like i am now). that didnt make sense.
and then we went to town and i got this tattoo on my lower back. its crazy - in australia they usually check that you arent drunk or doped up, but here...no worries baby.


RANDOM TIDBIT
ME: you know you're actually really skinny, I look at you and I think that you're bigger than you are but then you really look and you're really skinny.

putting things in the too hard basket

Miss Giavanni Italiani, I can't understand what the tape is saying...it seems to be in another language.


General Psyche:
"of course there are no neurons that are as big as the ones projected on the powerpoint unless you're some kind of incredible monster."

How Ironic?

we can't get into any clubs but the girl downstairs from us is like a fucking nut with her music. we call it club 204.
it starts with a beat and then you hear 'does that make me craaaaaaaaazzzyyyyyy?!"

it's ok for the most part but by 11 at night it gets a 'bit' annoying.
then at 1 in the morning it does make me crazy considering our windows are shut and luci has her earplugs in but we can still hear it.
what's worse is that she chats on AIM and the volume is set to the same as the music and we can hear the beep everytime there is a message.
Come on, who does that?

here's to thinking

we were like why does our room look like a prison cell?

and then we realised that everyone else has carpets, hangers, nice bed sheets, cushions and everything you could think of from IKEA. So we thought to rearrange our furniture instead

(luci's bed's on the left where is was originally) people say that they've never seen a room arrangement like ours before. We felt good about being creative but even better about minimizing the gross floor and having light on our desks because we're too cheap to buy some lamps.

more psychology

we're studying for our first exam and taking it very seriously. until we came across this question:
a researcher wants to see whether a protein-enriched diet will enhance the maze running performance of rats. One group of rats is fed the high protein diet for the duration of the study; the other group continues to receive ordinary rat chow. In this experiment, the diet fed to the two groups of rats is the ______ variable?
CHOW?


Yellow Rat Bastard. I think its a magazine...

It all starts with excessive exercise

one of our friends seem to think that we have an eating disorder because we have all the symptoms: exercising and watching what we eat (she got this from a pamphlet in the food hall)

Gym schedule:
MONDAY, WED, FRIDAY and WEEKENDS: cardio
TUESDAY and THURS: yoga
NIGHT: in our rooms we do some pushups and sit ups and stretching.

And we only like to eat about 1200 calories a day. but apparently the normal calorie count is 2500 which, when we checked online, is for male body builders.

to be honest this is more than i do at home but the gym is like 3 minutes away with an inside track! and this is the food we might eat if we dont keep our eyes peeled...

its all loving in our room...

luci and i are getting on great. It's just been our two week anniversary which we spent away in New York. lovely
and when we got back she sang me some Barry White and i repaid the favour by singing her some Shannon Noll (you've gotta lift!)

thoughts hopes and dreams on this one?

IF i fail, you'll know why

how am i supposed to concentrate with gold like this:

"if you are a sign language using deaf person"
and
"I mean, i didn't interview the rat but it seems to get the same high as a human who is on crack."

I didn't want to say anything...

because things usually turn out to be my own fault.
but not this time.
ever since i got to uni ive been having trouble with my ID card. it will let me into my hall but not into my room. strange because my roommate is fine. I went to the ID card place 8 times during the course of 2 weeks because the temporary cards only last a couple of days.
big hassle.
finally i went back today again and the lady told me that the problem is that another girl by my name was also in my room last year so its still programmed to her. Freaky
PLUS for all this time, my card has been programmed to the room 2 doors down.
on the upside, I'm dying my hair this weekend. Fingers and toes that it works.

PUBLIC AFFAIR - our New York song

hot cakes! you know that skinny legs are just out here as well?
i hope you all noticed that luci is the picture too...
Gray's Papaya hotdogs. THE BEST hotdogs ever. 95c each or you can get 2 hotdogs and a 12 ounces (or something else that is fucking massive!) drink for $2.75

on the way back to uni. sad.

but we've decided that the best thing is to take our minds off things and try to keep fit. so 100 sit ups every night and 50 push ups.

some more snappy wappys

the thing about travelling in a two is that you cant really take any good photos of the both of you. only ones that look up your nostril or ones of you looking really stressed because you dont want the guy running off with your camera...
too early...no talking please

this is the 'please dont run off with our camera!'
LUCI: i swear, if that guy ran off with my camera i would run SO fast after him.

LUCI: i reckon that only like SUPER die hard fans will come find this apartment.

DO NOT attempt to try anything on in this store. you will drop sizes just waiting.

MY SANDWICH!???!!!!???!!!!!!!???

luci stealing something from NYU

just had a shower

a stone cold shower.
This is why I don't think i want to shower anymore because what's the point of splashing yourself with cold water and waiting for someone to come and flush the toilet so that you might get a surge of hot water.
its gay is what it is is what it is i tell you.

And at the bus terminal today i decided that i want to lose some fat off my face. don't think about the thighs or the arms or the tummy - I want it off my face. And according to our new English friend all we have to do is not eat for a day and then eat for a day and then not eat for a day..."that's how diets work isn't it?"
