its very not life affirming

i was told in my concept class today that good is not always good. instead we should seek to find those elements that disturb and generally aren't good. that's what perpetuates an issue and keeps thoughts alive and kicking.
and all this time, i was trying to be more positive when all i really needed was to meet this man.

so let's shall we?
- i just knew there was a big criteria that i didn't completely fulfill in my elective. nothing is that easy.

- my tuesday class is terribly intimidating because there are these people there who not only understand what the tutor wants them to achieve in a certain exercise, but they also come up with some ridiculously intricate web program that allows people to upload their own big brother because all couples between the ages of 20 - 35 who don't have children will have little cameras attached to their heads. did that makes sense to you? if it did - please go to UTS on tuesdays and take map concept.
All the while, my friend is sitting next to me and saying 'no anna, we've done it wrong again. you see, he's created something new, but we've just written down things that already exist.'

- my friend is considering dropping her politics class after making it her chance to be brave this semester and walk into a classroom where she doesnt know anyone. turns out she missed her first class and watched the OC instead and now it's all too much, so she's dropping (maybe).

- everyone in the known universe is doing map project. even the people who have been in my course for like, oh, 2 days. they're talking about CGI and other terms i don't know, while i'm using the word 'convergence' without really knowing what it means.

- my friend's friend's crush was in town recently and invited her to a party (yeah, this sounds like at good story, but it's not). they had a great time, really hit off. after the party, she finds out that he's been telling everyone that she's a stalker and he can't get rid of her.
so apparently, it's no longer safe to even have crushes.

- my boss is david brent. what i didnt realise was that the office is funny to watch, NOT so funny to be in.

- i've just decided that i want to name my child TEAR.

actually, you know what? i think i missed the point of my class this morning.

going overboard

on my usual platform 22 today and quite unusual was the fact that i didnt have my headphones in and i managed to catch the annoucement.

Dear cityrail travellers, I sincerely hope you had an enjoyable day at work and that you have a lovely evening when you return home. I have a request today that maybe some of you can assist me with. If any of you know that on a certain day and time that there will be someone on the platform with a birthday, anniversary or other special celebration please email me with the details through cityrail and have it addressed to Matt. Thank you.

i ASSUME this means he would announce it when the person is on the platform. if not then thats just bloody creepy. as a matter of fact, it is bloody creepy. what happened to the good old days when the announcer carried an accent so heavy that you couldnt understand it so you ended up on a fast train to Liverpool?

next time we go where the sugar daddies are...

all is good because we were dancing to sexyback and i accidently bump into this girl. she waves, i wave back, its all good.
my friend bumps into another girl. they exchange smiles. the end.
my OTHER friend bumps into a girl and the bitch fight is ON! why aren't westies fenced in better? the funny thing is, this girl's slut of a friend - and i say that because she didnt have a real shirt on - pulled her away. People are surprising that way...

anyway, thats why next time we're going to drive a little further and head for those nicer places. The ones where the boys spend their money on your drinks and comfort instead of shaving HALF of their heads.

Is it wrong that I think bacon?

why is it that new years day is so much better than new years eve? i think it mostly has to do with the fact that when people are hungover there is a lot less expectation, things to accomplish and pent up anger towards certain family members.

Its also the chance to make some more resolutions because the ones you made before were just too hard. So here they are:
- sit down more
- get even MORE IM programs
- start to not drive.
I'm going to wait til spring before i start judging whether these have been successful.

couldnt have said it better myself


I hate easyway! its never bloody there when i feel like having some crushed ice and flavouring in a cup with an oversized straw. It's so inconveniently placed throughout the city.
It's not EASY at all! its should be called OUT OF THE WAY!

ahh...good old angry alice.

can we have canned peaches? ...............no

ive just been given the task of making a fruit salad for my family on chinese new year.
why do they think so little of me? it could be because i actually have no skills in the kitchen, but its not like im asking for the roast or something.
anyway, so i plan to make it like the Indian man suggests in the woolies commercial. Like with all the fruit under the sun and then sprinkle mint all over it.
That'll teach my mum to give me a task.

CHIZU - its japanese for CHEESE

chizu photo. im slowly making my way through everyone and taking on with them
me and this girl called emma. she was like one of the 3 people i knew at the crashed partay.
very anna and luci photo - just our huge faces and no background. WE know whats going on...

I said it wouldnt happen, but alas it did. im so hungover right now I'm going to burn this sickening feeling INTO my brain so i dont do this again.
so it all started with a huge trek OVER that damn iconic bridge for luci's 20th. long story short, we sat in some bushes and took a few photos (some of which i deleted in my drunken state of viewing them - sorry luce) and then headed for the leagues.
Donna rocks up for a 21st also at the leagues. she comes to luci's and says hi and states that there is bar tab at the 21st and its full of map people. so i join her to say hi. turns out - i dont actually know anyone there. we stayed for ten minutes and came down to find luci gone.
so i had to stay at this party. despite the theme being geek is was fucking awesome! it was wrong slut dancing to various childhood songs like wannabe, kung-fu-fighting and if you wanna get down by 5ive, but you know, grow with the times.

i also learned about this new Chizu thing. its what you say (apparently) when you take a photo now. its fun, but you dont look very good.

why are men allowed on game shows? why are they allowed to do anything?

first of all, the first time i saw this in the tv guide i thought that Forbes was finally televising someone reading the list so i wouldnt have to do it myself.
but then i realised it wasnt.
anyway, that guy who's related to that singer guy gives you a category and you and your partner have to make a list and then you can win certain amounts of money. the category tonight was: novels by bryce courtney

guy: i think that there's one called the potato farmer
girl: hmm...i haven't heard of that one
guy: yeah im pretty sure there is one called the potato farmer
girl: right, well how about tandia?
guy: WHAT?! how to you spell that?
girl: t a n d i a
guy: no, ive never heard of that. i think there's one called the potato farmer.
have you heard of one called the potato farmer?
girl: the potato farmer?
guy: its called the potato farmer. i dont know why but that just jumps out at me.
girl: ok, well if you're sure
guy: well have you heard of the potato farmer? because i think there's one called the potato farmer
girl: lets just go with the potato farmer
guy: well i dont know. i just keep thinking potato farmer. but ok, we should try with potato farmer.
both: we're going to go with the potato farmer
host: ok. the potato farmer.
guy: i think. i mean, i remember one called the potato farmer
host: OK! the potato farmer. is it one of bryce courtneys novels?.......
OH NO! im sorry, its called the potato factory and it starred lisa mccune.

fuck me. the pain i go through just to see mike delfino in a coma.

HEROES


On friday i was given a report of two sightings of people who looked suspiciously like superheroes. One was a man who was climbing a wall without a shirt on. We concluded that he must have had super powers because who else can stand to rub themselves against bricks without protection?
The other was simply a woman wearing a purple cape. She must have been a superhero because who can stand to look that stupid?
