so geography isnt my strong point...

Modern History Teacher*: So girls, FORMOSA. That was what they used to call Taiwan. Isn't that interesting?
Students: yes
MHT: so moving on...
a little while later when fact sheets were being read, the word Formosa appeared again.
MHT: Formosa...what did that mean again girls?
(everyone is thinking umming and ahhing, basically thinking really hard.)
One particular Student: Isn't it a band?

*lovely woman by the way and definitely one of my favourite teachers ever, just not so lucky.

Could you all do me a favour?

come and visit me at work...it's ever so boring.

yeah, im talking to YOU!

Story time...

i received an email the other day detailing an old fable and i thought i would share my own with you. This one is about how the luna years of the Chinese new year cycle were decided (if you arent familiar there are 12 animals and each year it the year of a different animal).

On the day that the order of the calender was to be decided all the animals lined up hoping to be the first in line when the guard arrived. When he did it was the wise owl who was at the front of the queue ready to be the leading symbol for the chinese new years calender.

However, the mouse was extremely jealous and wanted to be the first. So he climbed up the trunk of the elephant behind him just as the owl was about the stamp the page with his claw claiming his victory. The elephant sneezed a great sneeze and shot the mouse all the way to the front landing straight on the page where the stamp needed to be, technically making him the first in line!

The wise owl was furious and tried to scratch the mouse but missed and clawed the guard across the eyes. Now the guard was mad and blind and he punched the air in front of him squarely hitting the wise owl in the face.

And that is why the owl has a flat face.

oh wait, what the hell was my point?

who's in your FVP class?

well children, let me tell you...

• a raging feminist (you cant even talk about a microphone without offending her)
• some guy that i heard about through some guy through some other guy through some other guy
• exchange students (so cool!)
• a guy who looks like a cross between a HANSON and NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE
• hannah, ursula and berret!
• oh and my ARCH ENEMY! ( who was really bitchy again...like take a pill!)

great...

You Go Girl!

So last night i was watching the Glasshouse and Pinky (OMG) Beecroft was on and i was like OMG! and every time he said something i was like OMG! and i wish there was something more than capitals to express how OMG it was...
anyway, so i had the best idea to go into the ABC makeup rooms the next day and touch all the chairs...Isn't that brilliant? i mean he must have sat in ONE of them right?
so i did.

man, I'm such a stalker...


UPDATE (03/03/06): don't be freaked out, i volunteer at the ABC, i didn't just walk in there and touch their chairs!

(girlish screams)

since when do they shut DOWN your blog if you don't post for a few days?
my blood pressure is SOO high right now...

what's a girl gotta do to get some sleep around here?!

so living next door to a pool would obviously have its perks. Easy access to great exercise and unlimited fun (actually im not sure about the hours) on a hot day! However, due my chronic fear of being in big spaces of water (we don't even have a bath tub) I dont actually go near the place. So my perks are - less neighbours to worry about and ample parking for any party guests.
However, tis the season for swimming carnivals around all the local primary schools.
Every morning I am woken by the sounds of happy children cheering for their teams, showing their school spirit (remember that St georgians?) and learning some sort of life skill.

F@#K it's annoying...

a good morning

so my cousin moved out today which means that I get my room back and I don’t have to be on the study floor anymore…
however, no one cared to tell me that she was taking the mattress that I was sleeping on with her and so on the morning of her departure the bloody thing was ripped out from under me! One word – why can’t my parents just tell me important stuff like this?! (yes that is one word now).

oh wait...maybe this is why im fat...

kittenfish says:
today, i went to coles
kittenfish says:
and there was this MASSIVE line
kittenfish says:
seriously, i had a look before i went in and it didn't look big, then i realised (after i went in) that there was this gap which was where i thought the line ended
kittenfish says:
anyway, so i was waiting in line, and was like, fuck this, i should just leave
kittenfish says:
cause all i was buying was two bag of cheetos
kittenfish says:
but i really wanted the cheetos
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
HAHAHAHAHA!
kittenfish says:
so i stayed....
kittenfish says:
precious minutes of my life wasted
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
but precious cheetos gained
kittenfish says:
yeah
kittenfish says:
hey, you know how we were like, sooo cheap only 1.55 compared to 2.10?
kittenfish says:
i think its cause the bag is smaller now...
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
yeah
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
thats what i said!
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
but then i saw the actual small bag and its like SOOO small!
kittenfish says:
maybe they downsized
kittenfish says:
cause i remember the old bag being 200g
kittenfish says:
but this one now, is only bout 150...
kittenfish says:
something to ponder over...yes..
"you know how old people have two balls?" says:
yes...

biggest loser!

i have a very bad feeling that i've put on weight since starting the gym. My theory is that Im eating more junk because i think i have the safety net of exercising - but i dont actually exercise.
hmmm....
I have a consultation with my instructor (person thingy) soon so i guess i will see then - but how will it look if i put ON weight? Gosh.
maybe i should just ask for a refund while i'm ahead...
