28.09.03 - **** new magnetic fridge poetry of the moment ****
*send some lovin* - 17 days til my birthday!!!

i haven't updated the fridge poetry section of my site in ages. so much for that idea. but people were over on friday and saturday night and a few things were added, and during a spontaneous moment of creative i added some as well. elle needs her digital camera back, so i managed to get one last fridge photo, and that's it :( back to a normal camera for me. doh!
my 22nd birthday is coming up (16th october), and mum has been asking me what i want... i dont really need anything, but clothes would be nice. but i might just ask for some money to put towards a really good digital camera. i figure if im going to spend the money on a camera i might as well buy a decent one. i'd be plenty happy with 3 megapixels. but that's still $700 or so. so if you want to chip in towards a digital camera for my bday, email me!!!!!
in the meantime, any advice on digital cameras would be muchly appreciated.
i always thought the camera laurita used would be awesome. nikon 990 i think. and then there is always the ultimate dream camera! but who really needs 5 megapixels hahah, plus that one would cost absolute top dollar!!!!

here are a couple of pics of saturday night, taken by heather. think of all the awesome pictures i could take with an awesome camera!

the peppermint was shaped like a penis so of course i had to do rude things with it!

my left eye is still a tiny bit puffy if i look really carefully. gimpy eye! i really have to learn not to pass out while drunk with my makeup on. hehehe

*rocking back n forth*
i will never drink again. i will never drink again. i will never drink again.

*groans and falls to the floor*

$3 basic spirits and $2 shots seemed so good last nite. but now .... ick ick ick!!!!!!

hang over cures anyone? i usually have a egg on toast (with promite underneath) and then i feel ok. but its not working today. i'm craving really flavour intense food... thinking of getting some thai food this evening- green curry, garlic lamb mmmmmm

god i haven't felt this seedy in ages.

the hollardores gig last night was good- the shamrock is a joke! it was "faith" upstairs- which is the goth night, so there were scary goths everywhere. all the other bands playing were goth/heavy metal. the "downstairs"part of the club, is the worst venue ever... its the bloody cellar! its where the alcohol would be kept in any other hotel... but NOOOO they think "why dont we paint the walls with black and red paint and a few goth-like symbols and call it a club!!!! hahaha". no bar, no seats- oh well a few couches over one side. there wasn't even a stage, just part of the room was sectioned off. but despite of all this, it was pretty cool. really small and intimate gig.
team plastique played there a few weeks ago and that would have been cool coz the girls are all about mingling and including the audience during the set.
anyway it was a dungeon. wierd.

but there is another hollardores gig at the Orient Hotel next sunday night, so that gives me a week to recover!

*goes to die now*

AZN DANCE PARTY @ VIBE

azn pride mo'fo! blaah, so yea for funnies, i went along to this asian dance party with elle, tina (girl from work, elle's flatmate), james (tina's azn boyfriend) and joe (james's friend). now if you dont remember who elle is (her site is AWOL, so no links sorry) she is tall and blond. hehe. tina's an ex-dancer, who has a massive set of fake bewbies, black hair, uber tanned skin (she goes to the solarium all the time). i wish i had taken the camera. tina is stunning and everyone stares at her if out. anyway, i wasn't too worried about standing out- between tall & blond, and tanned & fake breasties, i would blend in nicely. james comes into work all the time. he's young, cute and asian, and super duper rich- who knows what he does *shrugs*. but yea, elle is always telling me how awesome it is to go out with james.....

so we rock up nice and early, james pays for cab and covercharge for everyone ($12 a head). the dance party is at Vibe- which is an R&B club in the city. not my kinda music or scene at all, but its all good. considering that its the same shitty kind of music we listen to at work, i can bop and sing along to pretty much all the songs. its pretty dead at first, but it picks up soon enough. oh so many cute little asian boys!!!! too bad they are like half my size.

elle has drink issues- 2 bars in the club, in different parts of the club. one bar has no cranberry juice, and the other bar has the juice but no absolute vodka!!! hahaha, that's what you get for being an alcohol elitist! i'm like 'whatever- give me the cheapest vodka! hehe'..... rounds of shots started appearing thanks to james. it was so good to be on the other side of the bar for once- i'm drinking the yummy shots, not pouring them :) tho i couldn't help myself, i kept clearing empty glasses hehe.

we were laughing at all the white australians who were also there. a shitload of white guys, all there trying to pick up hot asian girls, all wearing that stupid baggy FUBU shit. 'ooh white gangsters yo'. this big guy came up to our table finally (after their whole group eyeing off tina for ages) and tried to start up a conversation. elle totally brushed him off, but tina got stuck talking to him for a while. he was claiming he was from new york (tina had 'new york city' across the front of her top) but he kept losing and regaining the accent as he talked. what a wanker. scammed a few free drinks out of him tho :).

it seems, according to all the japanese girls, trucker caps are definately in fashion, as is wearing your phone around your neck.anyway, after too many shots and malibu & pineapple juices, i was well and truly ready to go home by 1am. leftovers from dinner greeted my drunk and hungry self, and steve laughed at me as a stumbled around the house. we started watching "IT" (stephen king), and i'm so surprised how not scary it is now. i used to be shit scared of that movie and i haven't seen it since i was 12, and now i watch it again and its so not scary. still a really good movie, but just not as scary as i rmemeber it.

thanks to everyone who helped me solve the mystery of the wierd japanese website. supossedly my website was featured in a japanese magazine and had a code beside it, so the readers can go directly to my site without having to remember the url- just type in a numeric code and bam! you're at muntedmess. so now the next question- WHY THE HELL WAS MY SITE IN A JAPANESE MAGAZINE?!?!?!
in regards to a question about the blue contacts- they are one month disposable contacts. however since i'm not wearing them every day, they will last for about 3 or 4 months if i clean them properly. of course, being an ex-contact wearing, i am skilled in the art of contact cleaning.

ARGH! i keep getting a shitload of referring hits from this japanese website www.zdnet.co.jp/magazine/ybb/ but i can't read japanese and i can't find any links to here.... what the hell????

well a pretty uneventful saturday has passed me by again. rach and i drank and watched movies- she's kindled her passion for cheap and nasty rumba! still only $11 a bottle :) so we drank, i ate wok on in, we watched 'down with love'- which was hiliarious, and 'finding nemo'- which was so awesome. god the textures make it look so real. i had to keep reminding myself it was 3d animation sometimes. i damn wish i had skills in 3d..... :(
and now, its sunday. its almost 2pm and i've just got up.... what to do? what to do? rachel suggested maybe going for a picnic/bbq evening down at new farm park, or maybe drinks at alibi. mmm well breakfast first. cereal with strawberries on top? or porridge? ooh the choices!

UPDATE: OMG today is the coolest day ever!!!!!

ITS INTERNATIONAL 'TALK LIKE A PIRATE' DAY!!!

it seems everyone else knew this except for me! i wish i had known sooner so i could have dressed pirate-like and said things like "arrrr matey" all day.
"Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?"

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

"fix-it men tapping away make rhiannon go something something"

"go crazy???"

"DONT' MIND IF I DO! ARRRRGHHHHHH!"

every morning, i am woken up about 9am to the sound of hammering and sawing and scraping. there is a unit downstairs, that is part of this unit.... we share the courtyard, the owner owns both of the units... the one downstairs doesn't have a front door or anything so it can't be rented out seperately. there was some shit fight with the council and now finally he's go the 'go-ahead' to do stuff with it.... i stormed downstairs this morning and confronted the guy... he was the same guy i got mad at when they were fixing up the roof upstairs. i know its not their fault, they've been told to do a job, and most people in the building are at work during the day. but not me! not the poor uni student-slash-bartender.... i like to sleep til midday, but noooooo!
this is probably adding to my stress, because i wake up grinding my teeth, and i have a big ball of tension in my chest, just waiting to explode.... "tap tap tap" argh it grates on my nerves. i'm so cranky if i dont get to sleep as long as i want.

mmm i just had avocado toast, and the avocados were sooo creamy and soft.... dad brought them from bundaberg. MAN! bundy rocks, and all those wasted years spent hating avocado's... little did i know, i was living in the avocado capital! mmmmm yum!

tonight is the first communication design film night, that heather and i helped organise, so there wont be any cheap cocktails for me tonight *cry* but after the film and free pizza, i think there might be some drinking involved. one can only hope! however, i think i'll be taking it kinda easy. wednesday night, i went to dinner with dad, steve and some of dad's fellow police recruites (sp?), and i drank waaaay too much red wine with dinner and afterwards. i woke up yesterday morning feeling very seedy. and haven't really been able to sleep it all off thanks to mr workman downstairs.

i watched "Identity" yesterday (finally!) it was pretty cool. tho the ending kinda sucked. once you knew who they all were, you didn't really give a shit about the characters.... last week steve and i saw 'The Hulk"... now that was impressive! i had heard some negative reviews about it, but i loved it! it was quite long, and the Hulk himself, didn't get much screen time, so perhaps that's what people didn't like about it. I was impressed at Eric Bana's american accent. it seemed (to me) to be flawless and so natural.... unlike Guy Pearce in that horrid film, rules of engagement. that was a nasty accent. mmm speaking of guy pearce- priscilla, queen of the desert will always be my favourite! he was in his prime, dressed in drag! mmm might go watch a movie, something, anything to drown out the tapping from downstairs.

i sit here with a loaded gun pointed at my head, or there abouts. rachel will kill me if i dont update! heh i've just been so lazy lately. still kinda sick, sore throat, coughing up yucky things. geeeesh its week 10 of the univeristy semester.. there's a week holiday coming up sometime soon, but its pretty much over!!!! i stillhave a few HUGE assignments left, but then holidays will be here, and i'll be finished university for EVER!!!! argh! its so scary- what am i going to do? am i going to be able to find work? that's my biggest fear rightnow. but i try not to think about it too much now.

man, summer is well and truly on its way- the last few days have been bording on "HOTT" with a double T. i walked down to the post office on friday afternoon... its only a 10 minute walk there... but i was sweating by the time i got home.
now i dont know if anyone remembers me talking about '$5 cocktails at aroma's' ages ago- but it used to be our thing- me, rach, heather, steve, luis, oystein.... etc... it was great and then it stopped, or so we thought.... it turns out it never stopped, we ust kept going on fridays when it was a special event so it was cancelled.... that was about 6 months ago!!!! 6 months of precious cocktail time WASTED! meh.

well last friday we all gathered there again and enjoyed yummmy cocktails for the cheap price of $5.... we even drank them out of midori! hahah the cocktail we all drink is LSD- which is midori, bacardi, cointreau, and pineapple juice- and they ran out of midori at 7pm. haha after cocktails finished we cruised around the mall (it was late night shopping), went to priceline and tried on makeup, then headed to o'malleys for more drinks. i ran into axel, and he came along with us. much dancing and staring at from everyone else- coz we were the only ones dancing for ages. i think we were home by middnight- axel and i enjoyed leftover curry (steve had friends over who cooked some super yummy curries), had a fight with the guy at the brunswick hotel because he wouldn't sell us bottles of red wine to take home (it was after 1am, fair enough i spose), then passed out by 3. i woke up saturday morning feeling fine, but i hear rach and heather had massive hangovers- i tell ya, the secret is to eat a big meal (like curry and rice) before bed, and have a glass of red.

in fact, i was feeling that fine, that i spent all of saturday spring cleaning the house. and my god it felt good. we scrubbed and moped and wiped and swept and the place looks awesome....

meh meh i have nothing to say... doooo dooo oooh here's something stupid... i guess because i'm still a bit sick and my nose gets a bit blocked when i'm sleeping, i woke up on saturday morning and my eyelids where STUCK SHUT! it scare me and i was really disorientated, why i couldn't open my eyes- i think my eyes were watery and combined with the residue eyemakeup, it got all goopy and stuck my lashes shut. pretty gross. and i accidently pulled out some of my eyelashes trying to get it off... this girl i met drunkenly on friday night had the looongest eyelashes.. she was columbian- damn those beautiful latino's. but someone said (and i dont know if they said this drunkenly and if its totally not true) that if you cut your eyelashes it stimulates growth....??? anyone know if this is true? coz my eyelashes are pretty short and i want long pretty ones. but i dont want to go cutting my eyelashes and looking all freaky if its not true....

ooh my dad just called, he's almost here (coming to brisbane for a few days visit), so i better run, but when heather uploads the photos from friday night i'll put a few up, so check back later.

Happiness is a Kong Foo Sing
With good fortune that it brings
So quit your mopin' n'crack one open
Smiles abound, the cookie has spoken

UPDATE: FINALLY i have posted the photos from last friday night out with rachel and heather and the TEGAN & SARA concert.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
september, dismember, remember.... i've left the last post from august up, coz its got the big pic of me with tegan & sara. hehehehe i want to show it off some more.
i never thought i was a "stressed" person, but the doctor told me i am. wow, learn something new everyday. next thing you know, i'll be finding out i'm really a giant stuck in a midgets body.
i woke up after my fabulous night on saturday with a sniffy nose. i'm like "ahhh must be just those hangover sniffles, nothing more. i couldn't be getting sick again. i was just sick, i must have immunity built up by now" but no.... guess what? I'M FUCKING SICK AGAIN!!!!! DAMN THE EKKA, DAMN ALL THE SICK PERVERTS WHO COME INTO WORK AND COUGH ALL OVER ME, AND BREATHE ALL OVER ME AND GIVE ME THEIR SICKNESS. damn the dirty airconditioner filters spreading the germs all over the club. damn my stupid body to hell. damn uni and the stress its causing me.

and as you can probably tell, they are yet to find a cure for the common cold. instead i get told to take some cold n flu tablets to relieve the symptons (blocked sinuses, watery eyes), and get plenty of rest and try to stop stressing.... he told me i'm stressed and that's probably the cause of my continual sickness.... so how do i do that doc? i ask.... well take some time off and rest and recover..... oh too bad i'm in the middle of the worst university semester ever!!!!! too friggin bad.

everyone's like "oh well, keep taking those cold n flu tablets, they'll keep you going! yay psuedoephedrine!".... except i must be the only person in the world who isn't affected by psuedoephedrine... my ex-flatmate bought heaps of sudafed and made home made speed from it a few years ago.... hahah it was stupid, tasted like shit and did jack shit all for me. i can take half a pack of sudafed and can still fall asleep in 5 minutes. steve takes one friggin tablet and he's hyped up all night and designs a whole new layout. cold n flu tablets dont affect me at all. my nose is still blocked, my eyes still water, and i'm still unfocused and tired. why me???? the gods are conspiring against me. someone doesn't want me to graduate.

tonight i'm going to pull an allnighter finish off the most wankiest subject every... wanna hear what the assessment outline is?
Aim:
To present a compelling vision statement in whatever format you choose.
Objective:
To develop a vision for what you, in concert with your supporting communities, wish to achieve in the years after your graduation, stretching at minimum over the next decade.
Tips: think carefully, become informed, avoid cliché and advertising hype, refine and hone to a form that has depth yet can be appreciated within the marking time allotted per item (approximately 15 minutes).

'who am i? where am i headed? what are my goals?" i dont fucking know. i'm the kind of person who walks thru life blindly and hopes things will turn out ok. i dont really know what i want to do with my life, i dont know who i am. i have shit buried deep in myself and i dont want to start pulling it out and examining who i really am. its buried for a reason. what a piece of utter wank??!?! if you love to sculpt then create a sculpture for your vision statement, create music, sound, images, writings- whatever is your passion.

i've started writing shit and i'm going to read a monologue/speech/shit i write, import the sound into flash and add some visual effects to the vocal. woot for craptastic ideas. too bad i dont know what i want to do with my life. is that such a bad thing? why should i have a fucking guide to the next 10 years of my life.... i guess they want your dreams and aspirations.... is it wrong not to know what they are? someone tell me what my life goals are!!!!!!! i have noooo clue!

photos from friday night and tegan & sara concert last night will be up tomorrow... its the end of the month and we have about 40meg left of our bandwidth limit. hehe.

ahhh the concert last night- well what can i say. it was fantastic. the girls were definately a bit pooped after a huge week of touring. tegan said she's starting to get a head cold, but it didn't stop her sounding absolutely brilliant. the girls were both shorter than i imagined (which rocks, yay for shorties!!!!) and so gorgeous in person.

laura imbruglia (natalie imbruglia's waaaay cooler sister) was amazing too. i bought her cd coz she was hilarious. she broke a string and dind't get to play a song, which i think was going to be "dont stray from my site" but oh well. she got up in the middle of tegan & sara's performance to sing some really daggy song... i can't remember what it was. and then she daggy danced while the girls played a more "rock" song. hahha laura was hilarious. corona in hand, dancing like a complete spazz. she was quality!

after the show it was over to the merchandise table for signings. i was a bit drunk and figured i might as well make the most of the night- so i just stood there leaning on the table and had a chat with tegan. asked if she got to hang out much with the guys from the panel, told her to try to find some of their old stuff (the late show- ahhh classic aussie humour), hehe i know i should have been more like "ooh tegan and sara" but i was just so envious they had met the guys from the panel. sara was alot quieter than tegan the whole night. tegan was alot more outgoing, my kind of person, but sara definately has spunk. actually, both of them do. i swear, either one of them would have no trouble at all converting me. sorry steve!! hehe

we followed them after they left the merchandise table, to a "musicians only" room. only people kept leaving the door open. katie (girl from melbourne who i met during the show) and i were hanging around, contemplating going in but didn't want to intrude or be too rude and stalkeris haha. i got laura to sign my cd and had a quick chat. spoke to t&s's guitarist, and he was saying how they were flying at 7am.
chatted to the boys from Grandville (the other supporting act). now, WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH THAT??? who ever organised this gig for them needs a good slap in the face. tegan & sara and laura imbruglia are chick rock, folk, punk, indie, whatever.... the audience was 99% lesbian. so why have an all male heavy punk rock band as supporting act??? needless to say, Grandville wasn't much a hit with the audience.
but the guys were nice, and we had them convinced to come out drinking with us, but they kept complaining about having NO money, so in the end they just went back to their friends place. pikers!
we hung out til 1am, spoke to t & s again, i got a picture between the 2 girls (yay!), and then they finally left.

what's with sara's facial expression tho?

the night didn't end there. we cruised on down to the Wickham, met some cool gay boys (i love gay boys!) danced and boogied for ages. i ended up at GPO with one of the cute boys, drank waaay too much, lost him and ended up talking to strange people, then stumbled home. i remember really stumbling and trying to send an sms, but my eyes weren't working. i had to close one eye and squint the other just to focus on the phone screen. been feeling seedy all day but it was soooo worth it. photos, signed tshirt and poster and cd, and the memories of seeing tegan and sara, the hottest canadian twins, play an awesome concert.

off topic, i've been seeing the colgate simply white (teeth whitening gel) ads for ages and i was thinking of trying it out. bought some yesterday and i've started the 14 days to a whiter, brighter smile. so we'll see if it works or not. i'm always paranoid about stains on my teeth coz of smoking etc. i dont drink coffe but cigarettes and redwine i'm sure are to blame for the 'less than pearly' appearance of my teeth.

ok my mind is wandering- i cant focus when i'm hungover. so i'll post more later.
