::ARCHIVES:: 30.01.04 ooh i just checked out heather's photo scans from the costume party last weekend, and i just had to put this photo up, coz god damnit, i had cool hair and makeup!!!!
its like a faux-hawk! hehhehe i had to wear the pink skirt just while going to the jubilee hotel and back. omg, i FINALLY called this beauty & massage place that
heather and rachel got me a gift certificate for.... and i'm booked in
for an hour and a half massage this afternoon, and its only costing me
$3.50!!!! hahahah this is going to be absolute bliss! i love massages
and sitting in front of the computer always hurts my back. and thank you everyone for all the well wishes and congratulations! i'm really looking forward to this job. 29.01.04 I GOT THE JOB!!!!! *dances* YAY! but that means starting this monday,
2nd feb, i'm up at 7am every morning. oh god, i dont know how i'm going
to do it. well that was certainly a nice wake up call. 28.01.04 UPDATE#3: 7pm wow, i'm blogging like crazy. i think
its coz i've been home alone this afternoon and things keep happening
and i want to share them with someone. ok, what i wanted to talk about,
is only going to be understood by fellow aussie and maybe a few brits...
neighbours- possibly the longest running aussie soap. i admit i'm addicted.
every so often i stop watching but i always come back to it. its been
on at 6.30pm weeknights for as long as i can remember. anyway, after tonight's
episode, i just felt like saying 'man i like karl kennedy and the actor
who plays him, Alan Fletcher. personally, i think he is the best on the
show. the best character, the best actor. he's flawed to the shithouse,
but he's totally the most realistic character. his little speech at the
end of the episode, where he finally opened up about his unsatisfaction
with his life, impending retirement, relationship with his wife etc. he
verbalised it just so well. the feelings that i've had, that i know my
dad has had. (altho his wasn't by choice).... mmm ok the feeling has passed
now. i just had this moment of clarity and felt it was vital that i share
that with everyone. and now it has passed. ok back to my bottle of red. UPDATE#2: 5.30pm omg its getting crazy now. i thought i'd run across the road and get some wine before it starts raining, but now its fully thundering and lightning, and it starts raining- these drops are huge!!!! when i came back in i spoke to the lady from the nex apartment and she said its spose to hail! i didn't think it could, unless it was really cold. but i guess i am wrong! omg this is a king storm, the thunder is cracking and roaring! its awesome. i think i'm going to go and sit out on the balcony and enjoy the storm. bye! UPDATE: 5pm ooh there is a storm brewing. its only 5pm and its dark already (usually the sun sets in summer about 7pm-7.30pm). and there is constant low grumble... oooh it just got a bit louder! i hope it waits an hour... steve finishes work at 6pm and he hates walking in lightning. ok i might go and get a bottle of red before it starts pissing down rain! it will be a nice night to stay in i'm going download ker-azy!!!!! its a download madhouse here as i try to use up over a gig of download limit before the end of the month. i seriously can't think of enough music- i've resorted to looking up other people's playlists to get ideas. tho i have scored a couple of music classics (for me anyway), including "The Only Way is Up" by Yazz, a number of old Pet Shop Boys songs, early Nirvana stuff, Frente, Pearl Jam (god, i haven't listened to Pearl Jam since 95 or something). fun stuff. anyway, i've had a billion people ask me "how did the interview
go? huh huh? HUH?" geesh boys and girls, no need to get your
knickers in a knot.... anyway, it went really really well. i found the
place with no hassles. my bus goes through the city, over the bridge and
into west end, so it was an easy trip. if i get the job, i'm pleased it
will only be a 15 min bus ride at most. so anyway, they are a label manufactor,
and my role would be Graphic Designer. I had the interview, and then i
went and spoke to the guy who i would be replacing. he's younger than
i am, and is going back to study, so they need someone very soon, so brendan
can train the new designer before university starts up for him. the job
would mostly use Illustrator, which i actually haven't really used, but
i just downloaded a copy so i'm going to give myself an intensive illustrator
course over the next few days (even if i dont get the job, it will still
be handy to know). so, til then, i play the waiting game. i will try not to be too upset if i dont get this job... i'm sure i'll get callbacks from other applications. but i'll be a happy-happy girl if i do get the job. there sounds like there is alot of room to grow in the company. its currently a small business, however the guy who is company director. came over from england less than 6 months ago. he used to work for a huge label company over there, and is hoping to bring this one up from a small business to a medium sized business. they plan to move to bigger and better offices in the next 18-24 months, and plan to expand their employee numbers soon. more good points- its very casual and relaxed, so no need to get dressed
up all corporate or anything. yay! however, bad points- 8.30am start!!!!!
ARGH *cry* that means i'll have to get up at 7am EVERY BLOODY MORNING!!!!!
ouch! i like my sleep ins too much. i'm so not a morning person, but i
guess i'll just have to learn new habits. 26.01.04 talk about slackness. yesterday was rainy and bleek and stormy. perfect
weather to sit at home and watch movies and that is what we did. what did everyone think of the hottest 100 results? i was just glad that annoying "Hey Ya" song didn't win (tho it still came second- ergh), but i wasn't a big fan of the Jet song either. i was glad to see The Cat Empire, The White Stripes and John Butler Trio were in the top 10. 25.01.04 the party last night was awesome! the costumes were all so cool- everyone did a top job (well, except for steve). i've put the photos up in the gallery so go and check them out! i've even thrown in an ass shot for all you pervs! quick, GO NOW! i've planning to sit around the house and listen to Triple J's Hottest 100 today (you can stream it off their website)- i'll post a bit later when you've all stopped perving on my ass. 23.01.04 argh i finally got a call back from one of the jobs i applied for. they want me to come in for an interview on tuesday!!! oh god, i really hope i get the job. its at a label company- the job description is a bit graphic design, but also alot of other stuff. i dont know, i'm not really clear about it exactly and i can't be assed to try to recite what the guy told me about it. but i'm happy- i'm more than willing to take a job, even tho its not quite what my university degree was about. hell, it could give me alot of experience in the printing industry, and god knows what else. anyway, cross your fingers for me and wish me luck..... i know i shouldn't be disappointed if i dont get this job, there'll be more jobs. but it would be nice to finally be working full time, earning a regular paycheck. onto less serious things- tomorrow night is lars & annora's bday parties at the jubilee hotel... its multi-themed because they couldn't decide on just one. heather and i decided to do "Tragic 80's" and we went vinnie's shopping today. man, i scored an awesome outfit! think "Footloose"- bright blue leotard (thong back) over black tights, legwarmers, cropped tank top, lotsa bad jewellery- we've also got pink hair spray so i'll be doing my hair and makeup very "cyndi lauper" inspired.
fuzzy photos i know, but there will be plenty of better photos tomorrow night! should be fun! except, since the party is in the valley, we're probably going to have to walk there- in costume? i dont think i have the guts to do that! hahahah i guess we'll see how drunk i get, as to whether i go out with a thong backed leotard or not!!!! nony arrives tomorrow! yay! 21.01.04 oops, this was actually a post i wrote last night, but then i got too
drunk and forgot about it: anyway, jen is the older sister of this 15 year old who i used to know
when i was still at high school. when i was in grade 12, he was in grade
4.... him and his little friends were all the bus in the mornings with
me, and i was teacher's assistant in their drama class.... chris and his
friend used to call me "Shooting Star" (because they thought
i was beautiful like a shooting star) and i loved looking after these
kids. our school was grade1-12, and despite the primary school kids not
being allowed to be in the senior school area, they used to follow me
off the bus, my friends would laugh at my little fan club and i'd have
to walk them all to class. anyway, chris was this little cutie, quite
tall for his age, beautiful tanned skin (it ran in the family, jen was
a beauty!). i always said that chris would grow up to be a hotty when
he got older. anyway, i got so excited and told nony she HAD to take a photo of him if she comes down on the weekend!!! i so need to see what he looks like now. and man, if he really is as hot as she said he is, then i've got first dibs (well not til he's 19 or so.)... hahahh i'm 8 years old then him, i'm such a cougar! oh well, he can be my toyboy when i'm 30 :D --------------------------------------------------------------------- HAHAHAHAH reading over that again, my god i AM a cougar!
but i'm thinking "damnit, i knew he was going to be a hotty even
when he was 8!!!!! god damn i'm good a spotting hot boys!!!!". anyway, i'm going to say bye now, before i get too drunk (again) and forget about it. night everyone out there in internet land! 20.01.04 thanks for everyone that did help me out with songs. i've made the cd already but if anyone does have any Adult songs, i'd still appreciate them. faaark its tuesday already. because sunday was wasted away by my terrible hangover, i feel like i'm a day behind. monday feels like sunday, tuesday feels like monday. i've got to hand in yet another bloody centerlink (unemployment benefits) form today or tomorrow... i cant believe i'm stil unemployed- and i haven't told many people yet, but i'm no longer working at the bar- they are dodgy and the tax man is still after them, so they are changing alot of staff members and making them all legit etc. i didn't really care, coz i didn't intend to stay there much longer... but i still can't frickin find a 'real' job. i dont expect to land the perfect job first time around, but i just want that elusive 'foot in the door'- of course, i'd love to be hired for a graphic./web design job at a company, but i'm also completely ready to work as a receptionist at a multi-media company first up. then once i've got my foot in the door, i can hopefully hear about any jobs that are going in the future. and i've answered so many frickin' job ads lately (damn centerlink requirements)
and what's so bloody depressing is out of all the job applications, i've
probably only heard back from 2 of them.. not even a "thank you,
but the position has been filled" email. i mean, i feel like i'm
totally wasting my time- did my email even reach them? geeesh. i thought
they would at least email unsucessful applicants back. just a quick. "thanks",
or "fuck off, you're crap" or anything!!!! but ive received
NOTHING from so many of them. i just want to be working NOW! i need something soon. i'm going insane being home all the time. and then its too bloody hot to leave the house, plus i can't be bothered. i'm in my pj's for most of the day. i've stopped going to the solarium, my wrist is hurting again. and now steve is all set in his full time job, we can't even be bums together. i just want to be working, 9-5, full time, at a multimedia company. i'll do reception!!!! i've got great telephone manner!!! blah this is all too depressing. maybe i'll head back to bed. i was having really wierd dreams but they felt good, tho i can't remember exactly what they were about- just gave me a good feeling. 19.01.04 does anyone have any of the music by W.I.T.
(Whatever It Takes)? i'll be posting properly soon, i'm just currently
trying to put together a song list for a friend.... I'm also after "glue
your eyelids together" by Adult. and a few songs by "A1 People"....
let me know if you can help. 18.01.04 UPDATE: 3pm and i can finally sit up. i'm soooo sick :( i just had some toast some hopefully i'm on the road to recovery now. blargh i will never drink again!!!!! i've been sweating and shaking and been curled up in pain, my stomach is churning. i hate sunday tv too. i've been on the couch for a while and there is nothing but sport to watch.... and i can't decide what dvd to watch so i just lay there and watch cricket or angling championships. *cry* oh the pain, the pain! i hate sport so much, its sooo boring to watch. why can't i have cable tv too? DUUUUUDE i'm so drunk! argh!!!! its been an awesome night..... i went to rachel's and we hung out there, and got majorly drunk!!!! unfortunately rachel piked and deciided to crash rather than come out coz she'd been up since 6am or something crazy like that. so elle and i thought "fuck it"... and we went to the valley. we wanted to go to no.12 coz darren from gerling was spose to be playing. however when we got there, the door guy said he was rather hung over and wasn't probably going to be coming. SUCKY!!!!! so we moved on the RG and while there this girl spotted me from the tv... she was like "you look familiar, were you on sunrise or today show or something" i said "hell yea, i was on today show" and it turned out she had a website too. so yea kya (or kia) if you read this, email me.... muntedmess@hotmail.com..... then we got bored and went to monastry.. all this time my friend with the goodies hadn't answered his phone or returned my calls. kinda wierd. so we arrivedat monasty and got in for free. yay for being female..... while there we got heaps of drinks bought for us by this nice guy, and skillfully,i spilt half a cocksucking cowboy down my shirt, and then some red wine. OF COURSE i was wearing a white shirt. tsk tsk. murphy's law or something. i made heaps of friends every time i went to the toilets, and we had an awesome time, despite no drugs. we danced for 3 hours straight except for the couple times we went and sat down so i could have a smoke and the stupid dumb asian guy came and harassed elle, til i death stared him and elle told him to fuck off. anyway it was a good night, but now i'm soooo drunk its time for bed.i can't type well, this has taken me sooo long to type. NIGHT NIGHT!!!!
16.01.04 oh my god, i'm so proud of myself!!!!! i got a brazillian wax today!
it feels so awesome, and didn't hurt nearly as much as i thought i would.
(please dont make dirty comments or shit, i'm just going to ignore/delete
all stupid comments)... i've thought about doing it for ages, but
have always been so chicken shit about the pain factor! my waxing lady
is so nice too. hah i had to wear this HUGE paper g-string! one size fits
most i guess :/ a question to all females- have you had a brazillian before?
what do you think of them? anyway, i FINALLY put the photos from last weekends roadtrip to the Gold Coast up in the gallery. the girls have been harassing me for them, so "HERE THEY ARE! SORRY FOR MY SLACKNESS!" here's a review of last night's gig, plus a few photos for your visual enjoyment! 13.01.04 UPDATE: ok my server totally spazzed out for a few hours, right after
the interview went live.... sorry guys, but that's the problem with technology.
it has a habit of crapping itself right when its needed. but anywho, its
back and that's all that matters! there
i am! 8.10am!!!!!! argh! the camera crew just left! the interview was live in sydney and melbourne and my site is not coping so well- complete user overload! hahaha i've still got an hour til its shown in brisbane, so plenty of time to get all poised with the vcr remote! i dont know if i'm looking forward to seeing it. although at the time i wasnt too nervous, my tummy is now churning. what if i look like a complete tool? god, i can't even remember what i said! and why oh why didn't i try to plug myself "HELLO, WEB DESIGNER JUST GRADUATED, LOOKING FOR WORK! PLEASE GIVE ME SOME WORK!" email me if you want to hire me :D i want to work for a webdesign company doing ANYTHING! i'll start at the bottom, i dont care!!!! anyway, the day has only just begun! its 7.30am and i'm wide awake, showered etc.... so much time, i should try to have a motivated day today..... more job hunting, spamming company's with emails bragging how great i am :D hehe ooooh maybe i should take this time to advertise my boyfriend's gig on thursday night! everyone in brisbane should come along- not only will you get to see 3 awesome bands, you'll also be able to play "spot the camgirl"- carrot cake and miz chii will be there (tho both of their sites are on hiatus at the moment). and of course i'll be there with bells on! so yea, 8pm thursday 15th january @ the zoo- come and see the Hollardores play! i've got photos from the weekend that i want to add to the photo albumn, so i'll try to have that up by this afternoon!
11.01.04 ah shit, i should have updated sooner. ok, the actual interview thingy is on Tuesday morning. at 8.10am (doesn't matter what state you are) a crew is coming here now, and filming me from home so i will be sure to turn the cam on. we film it live, but at 7.10am brisbane time, but it will be shown at 8.10am in whatever state you live in (australian states only of course hehehe) a small crew came over this afternoon after i got back from the gold coast and filmed some footage of me "sitting on the computer, chatting etc" to be used on monday's show... i guess its so they can say "and on tomorrow's show we have this story and this story etc" and show footage. and now, asa is also taking part in it! a lovely guy named matt has offered to tape it for me using his tv tuner card so i should hopefully have a copy of it to put up on the site soon. 08.01.04 ok my computer is back. phew! i called the place early this morning,
and they told me there was NOTHING FUCKING WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER!!!!
WTF? well not quite normal- i rang the lady about the tv interview, and THANK
GOD it turns out its NOT today tonight... its the Today
Show which airs in the mornings and is totally NOT tabloidy. i have
agreed to do it, and even suggested they get Phil from MelbourneLoft.com
to take part in it too. so this monday, i have to get up REALLY early
and a LIMO will be picking me up from my place at 6.25am and driving me
out to the Brisbane studio to appear on the show, live, at 7.10am. because
of daylight saving in NSW, that will be 8.10am sydney and melbourne time.
argh, i hate early starts, but omg! a limo! hahahaha. the woman i spoke
to today, asked a bunch of questions and i now know they are more after
the "living your life on the internet" angle, rather than the
"omg, are camgirls prostitutes?" angle. the weekend is quickly filling up. elle, rach and i are going to the coast tomorrow afternoon, and going to have a girls night out at the gold coast, and hang out at all the trashy places at surfers. then rach's family arrive on saturday and she goes and does the family thing. elle is trying to convince me to stay for saturday night- its her step-brother's 21st and there is a big party happening. lotsa 21 year old boys- possibly cute ones! haahahah, mmm we'll see. a few girls from work are going out sunday night for a big night at Family, and i did want to tag along, but now with this early morning on monday, i think i'll be tucked in bed by 9pm sunday night. the downstairs unit is still being renovated, and in the next fortnight all the big stuff is happening! its coming along really nicely. my dad and sister were down on the weekend, and nony told me she wants to move to brisbane, and really wants to move in downstairs! *shock horror* my sister and i have never really been that close, so this is a huge step for us. and of course, i really want to help her out- help her move smoothly down to brisbane, get her OUT of bundaberg. of course we still have to find another person to move in (if she takes one of the rooms), and time is running short. this is just such a huge decision- and typical libran, i hate making decisions. however, i am really enthused and want her to move in- i still have this fantasy that one day we'll be great friends and get along so well. i've always been so jealous of everyone who has a great relationship with their siblings. anyway, its after 1am and i'm totally beat. i just thought i'd let you all know my computer is healthy (for the time being) and everything is back to normal. 07.01.04 *cry* my computer died on monday. it went all non-responsive, so i shut everything down and tried to reboot and then it wouldn't boot up again. we tried to boot from a XP disk, but again no luck. WORST FUCKING TIMING EVER!!!! i mean, i've been promising myself for weeks to back everything up, but have been putting it off..."after christmas.... after mum leaves..... when i get around to buying some more cds..." ergh. is it murphy's law? or one of those fucked up laws that says, right before you back up everything your computer will crash and you will risk losing everything. i just want to cry. my whole life is on that computer. everything from past layouts, new layout ideas, random work, uni work, some freelance work i've been doing for some people, digital photos from the past year, videos etc. i hate being so dependant on technology- on something that is unstable. i promise if my stuff is saved i will back everything up 3 times, and lock a copy in a fireproof safe! i've taken it to a Computer fix-it place, that claims to be the best in data recovery. but god knows how much its going to cost! damn you murphy, and damn your stupid law. of course i'm tight on cash after the christmas period, so this couldn't have happened at a worse time. anyway, i'm at rach's at the moment updating this... i cant stand being at my house at the moment- without a computer its soooo boring. and today the aircon guy is around moving the aircon unit, because where it is currently located is right near the new stairwell, and it makes the bottom unit all hot when we have the air con on. its sooooo hot right now, what i would give for a white christmas. this heat is disgusting. just walking to rachel's almost killed me. ergh i've got nothing good to say... my life is full of events that have made me bitter and angry at the moment..... oh except, i got a wake up call this morning (way too early for my liking) from the author of the webcam girl article that appeared in the Age last week... it seems that the article is in the Sydney Morning Herald today- but i can't find it on the website, so i'll have to get a copy of the actual paper. AND she said that Today Tonight want to do a piece based on the article. hehe i'm becoming the spokesperson for camgirls in australia!!!! i'm very tempted to say yes, however, i do remember the shit that nay got from that tv interview she did last year. Today Tonight isn't as "trashy and scandalous" as some programs, but i do worry they will try to put a scandalous angle on the whole issue.... if only the boys at the panel would ask me on there instead! 01.01.04 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!! i hope everyone had a blast, i sure did, even tho i worked. it was pretty quiet, so we all drank a fair bit. i got out of there at 3.30 and with nitika and jasmine (other bar staff) and some friends of theirs/regulars from work, we headed into the valley and danced til the sun came up. i'm absolutely fucked off my tits, and will so not be sleeping for a long long time. i really want to go out, there are some recovery parties on and i think some friends are going- but my mobile phone is locked!!!!! i ran into the girl from the thai restaurant and we went to swap numbers, but her phone was dead.... so i took out my SIM card, and put in hers so she could check her phone, add my number (she couldn't remember her new number), but then i forgot my PIN number for my SIM card, and it locked up on me. i have to ring my provider but they wont be open til at least tomorrow, so i'm SCREWED! i can't call anyone, i can't receive any calls. i'm so peeved off at myself. so here i am, beeming off my chops, and no where to go, no one to hang out with..... sucky sucky. anyway, big hugs to you all, hope you had a great one... and a BIG shoutout to my bestest net buddy, rhitard- its her 23rd birthday today!!!!!! love you beautiful! wish i could be there with you! if you're bored, leave me comments on how your new years eve was around the world!
