happy new years. fireworks then a trance-dance-bathroom disco at the bra. i'm not making any resolutions because i can't think of a single thing that would make me happier than i am right now.
it's cloudy today. i'm taking down photos, my room seems way too cluttered. spent monday night watching the guys play at unibar, smoking, drinking pop and watching the iTunes visualiser while explosions in the sky played. i made everyone listen. city pub crawl. it's not as much fun when you have to organise it. oktoberfest is interesting when you start to peak in the line. went to -'s room and put on the strobe instead. highlighters, glow sticks, blacklights, randy bowlo and mexican food for friday. +billions of words to be written for essays and tests. mad loves for digitalism, CSS and new radiohead.
2007 thus far has been a wonderland. i love my degree. i love college. i love drinking and smoking and other substances. they all work to enhance my wonderland. i've seen danny bhoy, midnight juggernauts, a lunar eclipse. justice, digitalism and mstrkrft soon. i've danced with a columbian on oxford street. i bought a 10 year old's dress from vinnies and vomited all over it. i've been a fairy in midsummer night's dream. i've kissed my best friend and i'm not planning on stopping any time soon. i'm swearing more than ever before. my hair's shorter than ever before. i'm sneaking alcohol into my room again.
so how bout that NEVER WORKING AT VIDEO SLEAZY AGAIN. last shift finished at 5 today and i got cake and flowers and card and cuddles.
we ended up in the hunter valley sipping semillon and had a picnic and a nana nap and dinner AND dessert. it was most excellent and made me forget all about moving this weekend. for a while. so now i'm swinging between mopey and sad, and fucking shitting myself, neither of which are such great emotions. so i've slipped into denial which i think will shake around the time when my parent leave me at a college where i know total 2 people and will be sleeping in the tiniest room ever.
speaking tiny rooms, my room at the moment is comparatively massive on account of my sister moving to the junction and me getting her old room.
speaking of sisters, lexi is 4.5 months prego! half way! she has wee baby bump and its due 3 days before my birthday.
speaking of birthday, i think i'm spending my 19th in the mountains (blue that is), which i'm already looking forward to. particularly winter. this summers been shit (weather-wise). be sunny or thunderstorm. not this in between shizzle.
my uni week involves a total of 10, count that 10, hours a week. A WEEK! am i going to be learning anything at all? oh my handwriting has gone to shit too, and i don't think i could even start to write an essay. hard enough to even put together a coherent journal entry. oh OOOH.
i'm so glad so many of my lovely lady lumpys will be venturing to the big smoke with me, and sad that the others will remain here. all the more reason to come home a lot.
souths tomorrow 8.30 if your any good at all you'll be there.
roman holiday is brilliant. how have i not seen it before. all that jazz. similarly.
50 days til zero work + o.week
there are orb-weavers EVERYWHERE. making massive webs. beware.
christmas was very profitable. plus being away from things to buy means spending less means more dollars in the bank means not as new clothes deprived next year.
sorry but what's with pink floyd's dark side of the moon being australia's favourite album. not in my books kiddo.
instead, here is my superior list.
10..sixteen stone - bush 09..breathing tornados - ben lee 08..c'mon feel the illinoise - sufjan stevens 07..wires - art of fighting 06..origin of symmetry - muse 05..bruises you can touch - speedstar* 04..all that you can't leave behind - U2 03..sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band - the beatles 02..verspetine - bjork
01..o - damien rice
news is i won't get youth allowance till MAY next year. that sucks huge ass. i want cash for doing nothing much much sooner. in better news..CHRISTMAS! i love christmas. we put up our tree on friday. and seeing as i've already bought all my pressies, this year will be very very easy sans packed out shopping centres. i only have 10 weeks til i can QUIT. quitting is for winners. i had the coziest weekend in the history of coziest weekends. 8 ounce is the new pizza and wine bar on darby and its delicious but a little exy considering its just pizza. still 4 stars. abicus taunts me with its pretty girly dresses that i must try and resist buying. one thing i definitely do not need is more clothes. colour me kubrick: john malkovich is the funniest man out this season. again 4 stars. cozy rainy chilly nights+blankets+cuddling. 5 stars.
SO. i've been to india. now that that's done lets get to wednesday night
pretty fucking awesome night really. topped saturday which really just drinking at justines and lining up for the cbd (cool WHO KNEW!?) going to chris's, deciding i better get home eventually, 3 hours sleep then working at 9 and missing out on a pre xmas family thing. mm boozey.
so back to wednesday. intimate dinner with eb and ash (how you been these past 18 months eh? bought a house you say?) trooped up to the station to see the most talented too skinny and her hair's longer girl play a frickin fantastic 40 minutes. i felt all glowy and proud. got some photes and vids but camera was pinched by parents today. pulse is a new favourite. cambo was just a pit stop for trashiness. from there to...well.. i don't know quite how to put this..um. geez. er...fannys. tell you what though security is like asstight there. felt like saying 'guys, look. fannys just isn't worth all this. don't get all uncool and heavy' taxi ride was fair hilarious. he was like this eastern european driver. ewan in the front, kate brooke and i in the back. somehow we were talking about lesbians and the drivers just piped up, ribbing ewan 'haven't been giving these ladies enough eh?' fuck it was so funny. and ewan made some crack and the three of us started beating him up from the backseat and the driver was pissing himself laughing. what the hell hey. brooke kept trying to start fights, actual fights, cause she was wearing a thuggin headband. was all fun and games at the cambo. didn't go down so well at fannys. the girls there are rough cunts! TCs could definitely take em all on though. john got us 4shot cocktails after like 30 minutes waiting. they were pretty painful. somehow brooke and i ended up in somebodys minivan on the way to maccas and we saw the merewether high kids after there formal. tried to give some dude a piggy back. fell over. haha. and they had NO SPRITE AND NO FANTA. and they call themselves a restaurant. pah.
wow that was a lot of crap and i apologise! but i really wanted to remember that night.
NEWS! damien rice is coming to australia. yes. the actual soil of the land of oz. i will actually be in the same city at the same time as him, and hopefully the same enmore theatre if i get a ticket. anyone wanna tag? i can actually offer a college floor. comfy..
MORE NEWS! em and i have decided we are actually going to be organised and go to blues n roots next year. flogging molly was the deal maker for me. let us know if some kind of crew could be formed.
LITTLE BIT MORE NEWS! v festival looks like it will be JUST A BIT RADICAL. nothing to base that claim on as yet but judging by the english line ups it will be some kind of festival heaven for me.
yoga today was pretty much the best thing ever. it was so refreshing to have some peace and quiet when everything so far has been rickshaws and smog.
i really, really have to stop spending so much money. i think i'm going to have to forfeit meals just to afford the three paintings i just bought. ut they're so pretty!
i've finished one memory card already but its a pity photos don't capture the scale of things here. and its hard to remember everything that happened in one day even if i try and write it all down that same night.
i hope i remember all this. my group, the people, the food, the music, the art, every view, every rooftop chai.
bought some sweet-as birkenstocks today. they will be mighty comfy overseas. and in australia too i suppose. interview for college went rather well i think. MISSED SEEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MONISHA THOUGH. tragic. sydney public transport both confuses and excites me. you can get quite a rush when you realise you've caught the right bus and are exactly the place your supposed to be at the time you're supposed to be there. tops. bought a blue version of a red dress i already have because its just so darn cute. can't believe i have to work this weekend when i've been invited to about a billion things on saturday night. not fair nup. but things are pretty super swell right now mostly. getting pretty excited about next year but i know when i actually have to leave i'm gonna turn into a big baby. hopefully OS will toughen me up. and also result in lots of cheap cheap shopping. bad habit. fun habit. stop shopping ellie.
