shit, the month is nearly over. going into week 6 at uni. assignments starting to pile up. where does the time go? doesn't help when i spend so much time watching dvd's. i finished watching buffy season 1 (again). i downloaded the unaired pilot- it is soooo bad. different willow- who is frumpy and just so boring. different principal, no angel, buffy's brunette and the library is different. not to mention the stop motion animation of a vampire turning to dust. heheh i guess it was just the pilot... unaired at that. but god, if it wasn't for all the changes the made, buffy could have gone a very different way and SUCKED big time.

steve and i have been slowly working on our dvd collection. and i have to say, its getting pretty impressive. JB HIFI had heaps of cheap dvd's and i bought Mystery Men, Series 7, Memento, Requiem for a dream and Human Traffic (<3333) the other day. so many good things to watch now and just not enough time.

well the hollardores gig on tuesday nite went awesome as usual. although it wasn't their best gig i've ever seen, it was still lots of fun. i've got lots of pictures which i'll put up soon. heather took lots too, and she's already got hers up on her site. next gig for the boys is 26th April at the Healer. check out the poster for details:

they are getting sponsored by HonoLulu, which is a funky clothes store in the valley. thanks to dani's crush on a certain employee of Honolulu (hehehe). so i think the boys are all getting dressed in funky bowling shirts or something. they also have some dance students who are going to be Go Go dancers for the night! It should be an awesome nite! so if you're in the brisbane area, you should definately come along.

I haven't posted on the site for ages becoz i have finally gotten around to starting my Exchange Student site. A friend from my year in thailand, Alex, started a site where he posted his photos and journal entries from his year and wanted me to make one too. its been a work in progress for ages now. but finally, i have started. its so much fun going through old photos and re-reading my journal entries. i have two huge books full of writing, so its going to take me ages to write them all up. i don't even know if anyone would even have the patience to read them all (when and if i do get them all up), but its so great for me to re-read them. god, i'm just such a typical teenage girl. its so wanky the shit i write some times. i guess i was 17 at the time. but i'm so ditzy! hehe.

oh well, better get back to uni work. i have to work tonite (there goes another saturday nite) but i did have a bit of a social life last nite. steve and i went out with axel and kirsty- i really wish i had brought my digi cam, coz we stopped into the 4ZZZ radio station so axel and kirsty could plug their gig next week- "Show & Tell" @ the Jubilee. We went up to the Moon Bar for a dance, and about 2am we went for a walk down the mall. we walked past 'Alarm' (the goth club) and steve went in to see if dani was around. he was, and he came out and got us in for free (coz we just wanted to see what a goth club was like). needless to say, we kinda stuck out, but it was fun. surprisingly, they played pretty good music. hehe so that was my excitement last nite, checking out the goth club. woot.

i worked til close last nite and by the time i got home and in bed it was after 6am. yet i cant sleep in past midday. grrrrrrr so i'm trying to bore myself to sleep by sitting on the computer. heh. and i'm just in time for the friday five (altho its saturday already)

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be? John Lennon- i wish i could travel back and meet him when he was my age. just knowing who he was and what he's going to become but just being able to know him before he skyrockets to fame. But i'd also like to know him later on in his life too.

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be? hmmm not really eager to live in any past centuries where the hygiene was appalling.... i would have loved to have lived my late teens and early 20's in the 1960's. but truth be told, i really do like living in this century.

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be? Los Angeles, New York- i still dream about becoming an actor. But i'd also love to move back to Thailand. Bangkok coz i love big cities.

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be? oooh this is a good one. growing up i wanted to be Claudia Kishi from the Babysitters Club- she was funky, original, japanese, and could eat endless amounts of junk food and stay thin. Now, hmmmm, i would like to be Buffy Summers... NO, i want to be Willow Rosenberg..... she's so quirky and funny. as long as i still look like Alyson Hannigan though.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be? oh damn, IF ONLY! i would love to look like- Kirsten Dunst, Christina Ricci or Alyson Hannigan (i want to be almost 30 and still look like a teenager)

ooh those were fun. i love "if's"..... i live most of my life in a half dream. that's why i love sleep so much. i love dreaming. as ralph wiggam said once "sleep... that's where i'm a fireman!"

sleep.... that's where life is good...... now i wonder if i can go back to sleep....

i have an hour and half to write a up an essay proposal (only a paragraph or so). topic wise, i'm thinking of doing culture jamming- but what exactly? i need to have a more concise topic. grrrrr- is culture jamming a legitimate form of expression or just glorified graffetii? and something about people like michael moore, john safran and maybe even jackass- what they do, the pranks the pull, the social comments they are making- these are all forms of cultural jamming, right? still feels like gibberish to me. i don't know how i'll be able to write 2500 words on this.

*groan*

speaking of john safran he features in some of the pics that axel's put up on the team-plastique website. and i've found a few cameo appearances by my gang of comrades.

steve and elle chatting in the background.

hey its me with the black wig on. truly it is!

i promise to scan in my pictures from that evening and add them to the photorgasm page asap. in the meantime, heather has some pics in her photo albumn, here!

check out team-plastique's website- they are sushi punk!

also i want to make a public apology to axel for being such a slack ass of late. with my net addiction, work and uni- rhi gets no time for play. but i want a life damnit! save me from this hell! i promise i'll get off my ass and call and we'll do something!

shit i just read of heather's site there is a rally in king george square today at 5pm... the day we're going to find out whether we're going to war.... little johnny howard is making a speech at 7:30pm (the morning news said - yes i was up for the 7 o'clock news! argh!) but i'm at uni from 5-8pm... i would skip it but i've got a presentation to do. damnit uni. fuck tho, i'm really worried. i'm pretty sure he's going to say yes we go fight- i hope not, but he's just as trigger happy as a well known texan. i dont want to think about war- and its hard to when there are all the trival things still going on in my life. uni assignments, weekend's off, bills and shit. its hard to look past all that and realize that war is going to be made offical.

oh well, i still have a slight problem about an essay topic proposal to think about before i ponder the world's future. damn its 3pm. only an hour to go. shiiiiiit!

talk about bizarro night. last nite i started work at 10pm and the power went out in the whole of caxton street about 11:30......the few emergency lights lit up the club and while management was running around sorting shit out, we continued to function.... equipped with a boombox, flashlights and some bad r&b cd's belonging to the other bar girl. anyways the power didn't come back on til about 2am or so and the rest of the night went by fairly uneventful. but just in time.... we were almost out of clean glasses (and i really didnt want to have to wash them by hand), the fridge was starting to lose a bit of its coldness and the post mix had died and we were using softdrinks bought from the shop around the corner.

anyway, today at uni elle, heather and i were writing notes to save us from the boring lecture and my hand started aching at the base of my thumb. and its hurting again a bit now as i type. i first noticed the discomfort last nite pouring drinks. i think i am getting repetitive strain syndrome from the postmix button. gah! it feels a bit stiff when i type or hold a pen.

anyway, before it seizes up i have to finish off some uni work. nite nite!

was a long night at work last nite. i forgot that it was st patrick's day so there were heaps of people out last nite, and lots of REALLY drunk people who had started in the morning. ergh. but i made some nice tips, so it wasn't all bad. though i have to work again tonite and have heaps of uni work.. (ALREADY! its week 4 i guess. but i miss high school were you had a few weeks of settling back in to the routine. here at uni its like "hi you're back, here's your assignment due next week")

i finished the first season of twin peaks. BAH! how could it just end like that? everyone is fucked over and then it just ends. grrrrrr anyway, i couldn't help myself, i read lots of spoiler sites about second season and the preqel "fire walk with me", so i know who did it... only i don't really know why and stuff. i know people are going to say "oh but you spoiled the suspense and surprise of the mystery" and yea i guess i have, but i'm one of those people who reads the last chapter of a book to see how it ends, or peeks at christmas presents. it doesn't take away the enjoyment i get from the book or present, i just can't stand not knowing. i can't get over how great kyle macLachlan is as agent cooper.... his character is just so fucking awesome.

thanks random_tangent for this awesome link (i'm so out of the loop with news and current affairs. i never listen to the radio, rarely watch tv (unless its simpsons or seinfeld) and never read newspapers). i think this is awesome, now if howard would just fucking listen. NO WAR!

we got the dvd player fixed thanks to everyone's help and advice. i watched the first 4 episodes of twin peaks the other day. i am really enjoying the show, its alot funnier and wierder than i expected. i thought it was going to be a really crappy soap opera type series. i remember when it was on tv, being about 11 or 12 and staying at a friends house. this girl, meaghan, was really cool for her time. she liked red hot chill peppers (introduced me to blood sugar sex magik, tho i really didn't like the rhcp til quite a few years later). she had a cool pc and we could play awesome computer games. i only had a really old mac... i'm talking reeeally old mac. like this:

see! it was horrible, when every else had cool pc's, i still have a shitty mac. i thought mac's were the most shithouse piece of shit ever to be built (tho i really loved "dark castle" and "crystal quest") it tainted my view of macs for years to come. everyone was raving on about the new macs but i wouldn't have anything to do with it.

anyway i'm just waiting for steve to get up so we can watch twin peaks. i'm really craving a greasy breakfast too, only we dont bacon or anything and i'm too lazy to get dressed and leave the house. i'm not going to be drinking for a week or so. i've had 3 nights of drinking in a row, becoz i had the weekend off and i thought i might as well have a social life. hurting a bit now. it was only drinking at home (except friday nite when i went to family and met up with steve (different steve- not my boyfriend) .got chatting online and turns out his sister is dani's latest crush! its a small world after all!)

we had the usual gang over last nite and the boys played PS2 all night while heather and i played on cam. i discovered i have exactly 55 pictures to go until i have 5000 images in the camwhores archives. its the most comprehensive cam archive around. god, there are some shocking photo's way back when. i've decided to put together a little archive summary...a stroll down memory lane.

keep an eye out for that. i should do something special. 5000 pics is a bloody lot. anyways, steve is up so its twin peaks time now.

cheers!

i've had a real long day with uni and shit... and now i'm home and had 2 drinks and pissed off my ass. wheeeeee. only steve is in a grumpy mood. which makes me grumpy :( my dvd player (on the computer) is stupid. it locked on region 1 and i need to be able to play region 4. grrrrr. trying to sort that out, only its not working.... tried various software but it ain't happening.

but yay, this cheered me up... cool fan stuff. this is going in the fan art section (which is severely lacking content, so ppl, if you want to make something, feel free!). <333333

well as you can see on my cam, i did it. i got a drastic hair cut. hehe i spoke to mum on saturday and she was all for it and said i should go to a nice salon here in brisbane, rather than get her to do it. so briony and i went into the city, and went past toni & guy, but they wouldn't have been able to fit me in to do a cut and colour, so we kept walking. we went into oscar oscar, and they could fit me in for both right NOW. i was scared shitless, but the girl was really nice. she talked me out of cutting it really short and then suggested a really textured, layered bob. sounded a bit scary but turned out alright. i wasn't sure what to do colour wise, so i let the colourist just do what she wanted and i absolutely love it!

this is the second time i've paid for a hair cut. it seems so wierd to pay for it. the first time was in thailand in 99. all the other times mum does my hair. i was pissing myself laughing at the price cards at both toni & guy and oscar oscar. prices vary depending on who cuts your hair. stylists are the bottom of the list, then top stylist, style director and then at the top of the price range- art director. hahaha, its sooo wanky! and at oscar oscar you pay through the nose to get OSCAR himself to cut your hair.

everyone seems to like the hair change so far.... steve gave me a bit of shit when he first saw it. grrrrrr. we went to josh's house for typical saturday nite drinking and dinner etc (check out the photos), and we were all pleasantly surprised to hear the good news. josh and kristy are getting married! argh! in september too. its scary, they will be the first of my friends to marry. heather and rob were the first of my friends to be engaged, but josh and kristy's wedding is going to be sooooo soon! and heather and i have been asked to be bridesmaid's! hehehehe i'm so excited. i've only been to family weddings and none in the past few years. i have always been too young. but this time, we will be the part of the bridal party. steve and the other boys from the band will be grooms-men. anyway, more details on this exciting event when it gets closer.

briony has decided to go home a few days earlier... tomorrow. don't know what that means, whether she is sick of me already or just misses home and her bed too much. she is such a homebody. so we're heading into the city or the valley for one more day of shopping and stuff, so i'm off to style my new hair. wheeeeee! god its so easy to wash and dry and so much fun to style! i really feel like a new person!

thank you everyone for all the supportive emails and comments!

1. What was the last song you heard? hmmm well i was working last nite, so it would be some pop song. but i have "all the things she said" by tatu in my head. i know it was one of the last songs to play before i clocked off.

2. What were the last two movies you saw? is season 5 of buffy counted as a movie? no? ok, jackie brown, vanilla sky. (hired them out). at the cinema's the last two things i saw were- The Two Towers, and Donnie Darko (<3). geeez i really dont' got to the cinema's much.

3. What were the last three things you purchased? 2 tops yesterday (long sleeved, and halter top), buffy dvd's, dead or alive (by Mikke Tekeshi) dvd.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? get drunk, do some reading for uni, clean the house, watch buffy dvd's hehe :)

5. Who are the last five people you talked to? steve, briony, dad, cab driver, spiros (security guard)

this interesting post was brought to you by the fridayfive.

dad and briony went down to the farmers markets down in new farm and bought some fruit (yummm) and so god damn delicious greek yoghurt. its so good. dads has passonfruit in it, and nony got mango. the actual yoghurt is soooo devine, mouthwatering good.

thanks guys for your comments about the hair cutting issue. everyone else, what do you think? should i cut my hair? i'm going to talk to mum today and see what she thinks.

i can't get the awesome tune of "all the things she said" by t.A.T.u out of my head. i had never heard it until a girl at work kept raving on about this song with two hot girls getting on in the filmclip.... now i can't stop listening to it. i know its a pretty basic pop song but the tune is awesome and the girls voices are really good. russian accents=very cute. anyway, t.A.T.u have turned into a bit of an obsession in the past 36 hours. i'm fascinated by the way these girls have been marketed as lipstick lesbians. i read somewhere they claimed to be childhood friends and have 'slept in the same bed' for years. other people say they read they have boyfriends. this site goes into all sorts of details about their contract and their management- how to appear in interviews, what to say, who's to speak first, how to sign autographs. its like a russian popstars- commercially marketed girl band... i'm just fascinated by the lesbian marketing angle. its so obviously contrived yet that's not lessening their popularity. mind you, i'd definatley go along to a concert- photos show them running around in pretty skimpy outfits, nipple revealing wetshirts and making out on stage..... i just wonder how it all came about? did some hot shot sit in his office and one day say "THAT'S IT! i'm going to create a girl pop duo... but what makes them different to the hundreds of others is...... um..... how bout if they're lesbians??"

while looking through all the pics of these girls, i found some of julia with uber funky hair.

i have been feeling bored with my hair for ages now and i was growing tired of just growing it. its getting damn long now and i'm bored. i was one of those kids who always had butt length hair (hello, hairdresser's daughter). now i want to do something with it, but i'm not sure what. i haven't exactly done anything drastic with it before. anyway i wouldn't mind a bit of public opinion, so this is a history of my hair...

i cut it shortish at the start of grade 11. i like alisha's attic at the time and wanted my hair like karen's. it was pretty cool, i like having short hair. the only down side is that i relied on my mum to blow dry my hair almost everyday. i have DEAD straight hair which is pretty fine and that means it doesn't do alot. i can have heated rollers in for ages, but within an hour of them out my hair goes limp. hell i even tried to perm my fringe(bangs) when i was 10 and it hardly held.... instead it snapped off a bit of my hair and i had spikey short bits in my fringe for months afterwards. anyway, i'm still pretty hopeless at blowdrying my hair even now and i don't have mum around anymore- that's why she's always been against me cutting my hair again.

anyway, over the next 2 years i just grew out my hair and started with the "ginger" look (could you tell i had a secret obsession with the spice girls?) which has never really gone. i just really like the spliced colours- red, blond & brown chunks. anyway i was really just growing my hair so i could do something with it for the prom.

after prom i cut it again and after graduating high school i rebelled slightly and got my friends to bleach my hair. it looked horrid so i put a bright red in it, which turned out bright orange. it was awesome. my mum hated me for it. only of course it didn't last and it faded to a pretty nasty looking yellow/orange colour. then i went to thailand. i started growing it, keep bleaching it, got it cut pretty badly, then went a red/brown. but i don't want to show pics from that year. i had pretty gross hair. i missed my mum alot.

anyway since 2000 i've gone from blond to brown to red, from long to short and back to long again. its so time for something new. new colour, new style..... and (god this has been long winded) when i saw julia's hair from t.A.T.u i thought, god damn i really want short hair. i just don't know if it will suit. all the styles i like, are on girls with little faces, small features.... however, i think i've got a big face- and not exactly petite features (check out my nose). but the more i think about it, the more i want short hair. if its short i can dye it more without ruining my hair. and i figure i've got about a year left of uni, and then after that hopefully i should be working so i guess i may not be able to dye my hair crazy colours once i'm working. so i should get the crazy hair urge out of the way while i'm still a student. i tried to photoshop short hair on my face, but couldn't do a decent job. what does everything think? short hair or long hair? i neeeeed a change but i'm a bit worried....

ergh, this post has ended up much longer than i planned. i just went and picked up briony and now i have to run off to uni til 8pm.

just before i go, i have to show off my new collection :) ahhhh so much buffy goodness.

*send some lovin*

well its march and has been for a few days. 1 year 4 months 2 days. hehe. can you believe how long its been baby?

i received season 5 of buffy on saturday and since then its been non-stop buffy marathons. we've finished the whole season and all the special features... only now i'm having withdrawals. my dreams were warped buffy related things. that's kinda creepy.

thanks to the person who suggested downloading "every codec" from kazaa. it appears my comments are no working atm so i'm not sure who you are. but i did as you suggested and now its tick episodes and celebrity jeopardy galore!

ker-azy site news. i've started archiving my blogs... i used to just delete them and my blog page was getting way too long. so yea, archivey goodness.

-----------------------------------------------------------

later: as per usual i got distracted and this post has sat here for half a day without me adding to it/uploading it.
i'm attempting to do a big clean of the spare room and lounge room before briony gets here on thursday. i'm pretty excited because i don't see nony(my sister) very often anymore, however she is thinking about moving down to brisbane within the next 6 months or so, which would mean i would see her all the time.

she asked what i would think of her moving in with steve and i. had she asked this time last year (before i was living with steve) i would have said yes in an instant (sisterly instincts make me want to help her out when she moves out of home.) however now i'm living with steve i'm not so sure. adding a 3rd person to this living arrangement (my sister or not) would change the dynamic of our relationship. i'm worried it would feel a bit crowded, because our place is by no means big. and we've enjoyed the past few months here by ourselves. which means not having be considerate of someone else. we talk about whatever we want, when we want, we eat when and whatever we like, we have sex whenever and as loud as we like, we watch tv/dvd and play music and IF someone else became part of this household i think i would be annoyed at suddenly having to restrain myself.

although if briony moved in i spose i might not feel as uncomfortable becoz she IS my sister. i could walk around the house semi naked and not care. however i guess the other downside is that i could possibly feel like the moderator in the house. if anyone had a problem, tell rhiannon coz she is the sister/girlfriend. i don't want steve to feel uncomfortable if briony is a moody bitch. and that's my biggest fear i guess. although briony and i have had our moments of compatiblity, generally speaking we don't get along very well. i wish we were like typical sisters, sharing clothes, hanging out, talking, fighting, bitching, confiding in each other. but unfortunately we're not. i'm sure its got alot to do with me too, but briony is just so much more withdrawn and rejects any attempt i make at being all sisterly.......

anyways, she is coming down on thursday for a little over a week just to see how it goes. she can see our place, we can see how we all get along in a living together situation, i can drag her along to see how she is around my friends etc. i'm looking forward to it. especially after watching season 5 buffy i now have these dreams of all the sisterly fun we will have together.
