day 293

They worst part about having a dead computer is not the fact that I am now handing writing my assignments, its the fact that the most painstakingly boring assignments of the entire course were saved onto the computer. They are due today so I now have to do them all over again. By hand. FML.

day 292

My computer died. The operating system failed. Luckily Joss just recently backed up all my photos, but until I can physically check that they are all ok I am stuck in a semi paralysed state of fear. I actually cant comprehend how I would feel if I lost all my photos. On a more cheerful note, I made it to round three of the pool comp last night. The first guy I beat was the barman, who was running it. he kept demanding rematches later on until he could regain his dignity.

Day 291

I Have an incredibly special monkey given to me by an incredibly special friend. He is going to keep me company this week. Last night I woke up at 1.30, 2.30, 3.30, 4.30 and at 5.30 I packed it in and Monkey and I went to sleep in the car with the heater blasting.

day 290

I just discovered that I have accidentally deleted all evidence that I am competent in IT. To say that this fact has upset me a little would be a colossal understatement. I. want. to. rage.
Apart from that I am having a smashingly decent day.

day 289

I played senior ladies today. WE WON!! It was great! I played striker for the whole game. And no, I didnt score, but I assisted. I dont think I like striker very much, I would prefer attacking midfield. Either way im pretty sure I just got roped into played senior ladies for the rest of the season.
I should warn, The next three weeks are going to be tafe-ful, so the photos may come at odd times, or not at all. I have a dongle, so we shall see..

day 288

You know the theory that if a bird poos on you it brings good luck? Well clearly its not true because a pigeon crapped on me on the way to the footy and Richmond STILL LOST! I swear the Richmond football club is scared of heights! "ooh look! We have a chance at the top 8 this week, lets screw it up bigtime!" ugh.
As angry as I am, I had a lot of fun. Josh, Bradyn and I all rocked up in matching outfits.

 

day 287

I love Jaffles! This one was ridiculously burnt when I got it out.

day 286

You know that feeling you get from soccer practise where you are so exhausted that you think you couldn't possibly exert any more energy, but somehow you manage to and you keep doing that until you dont feel anything at all and then you are fine to keep practising for as long as you want? I love that feeling!
also, where did I pick up the habit of giving people a thumbs up?

day 285

Today I kicked a football in a straight line. Not such a big achievement for me but it did earn me the unwavering respect of the year 11 boys I was teaching. Actually, Discussing the pros and cons of drinking vomit out of a cup probably also contributed to them thinking I was cool. I think what we can learn from this is that year 11 boys, and in fact myself, are both disgusting and sportcentric.
Day 30: A picture or someone that you miss.
You thought I had finished, didnt you? Nope, today is the last one.
This picture has a mirriad of people that I miss in it. I would specifically like to mention Stephie, who was almost cut out of the picture by my shoulder, only her hair is visible. She is a legend! The most hilarious, weird, gorgeous girl I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

day 284

Im staying at a boys house tonight oooohhhh! Don't get excited, its my cousins house. Although.... haha nah just kidding. KIDDING! he's engaged, and that would make me a home wrecker.

day 283

Anxiety. What a hateful word. its so sharp and pointy. Anxiety is not a word that you can cuddle. Im not sure where I am going with this but I just want to say how much I hate Anxiety. Baba ganoush. That is a fantastic word. It rolls out of your mouth with such ease you just want to say it over and over. Baba ganoush is the kind of word that you can dance with.* It would be a really dorky dance with no inhibitions and lots of voluptuous hips.
*yeah yeah. Ending with a preposition yada yada..

day 282

Today I am going to attempt My first solo freeway drive home. To be honest I am a bit scared because I am so bad at concentrating when I am on my own. I'll have to figure out a way to make it fun I guess.
The song Under the Bridge is so sad. It makes me cry.

day 281

Om nom nom nom nom..
I love graffiti. I think it is so beautiful! I would love to be able to spray paint but I have never really had an opportunity to practise. I'm gonna go buy some spray paint..

day 280

Tonight most of the young adults group came out and had dinner at the pub as a farewell for Joss. Josh, it turns out, is really good at pool. He rolled me. Im not gonna lie, I missed being beaten.

day 279

Tonight I spoke to a boy that I have had a mild form of crush on for at least 11 years. I have the best crush stamina of anyone that I have ever known.

day 278

I spent 7 hours in the river today. To say I was cold would be a gross understatement. When I got home I refused to get out of the shower until all parts of me had defrosted. It took half an hour! This picture is demonstrating the deceptively strong power of strainers. If I were in a real strainer, give it another minute or so and I would have been toast.

day 277

Do you ever make a decision and then immediately regret it? note to self: dont make decisions at 11.30pm. On a more terrifying note, I almost forgot a photo today. It freaks me out when that happens.

day 276

She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before
Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood whore
I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful..

day 275

Flashback to 2002. We so fricken cute!
day 29: a picture that can always make you smile:
The reason this picture (the one in front) makes me smile is because it is framed on Boof's mantlepiece. I love that I have been raised by a community. This picture, and its various locations, is the embodiment of that.  

day 274

I babysat for 8 hours today. I changed nappies, stopped babies crying, boogied with the wiggles, made vegemite toast one handed and listened to a three year old repeatedly say 'F**kin troller,' instead of 'fat controller.' It was great!
On a completely different note: when I was taking this photo I yelled "FUNNY FACES!" and  Gerry and I pulled exactly the same face.

day 273

I just realised, mid way through chucking a wobbly that I needed to stop the tears welling up because I am wearing eyeliner. I think that if I am old enough to wear eyeliner then I should probably lay off the temper tantrums..

day 272

I was a logistics person today, which basically entailed driving a lot and when I wasnt driving I just had to wait around. I used my waiting time to take lots of naps and also practise backing a trailer. when I got home, there was baileys. good day? I think yes.

day 271

There is actually no point or meaning to this photo. I was standing stupidly and pulling a face. Its not the best photo I took today and its definitely not the worst. Boys are stupid.

day 270

This stupid tooth has now racked up a bill of approximately $3000. I hate it. I thought I would get a close-up of the little bugger so we can all glare at it angrily for wasting my / *hopeful face* my parents' money. By the by, I discovered this whilst taking the photo: mouths are REALLY gross close up!

day 269

I just watched a movie called 'Fat like me.' It got me thinking a lot about weight. So far none of my thoughts are well formed enough to articulate but I am thinking.

Day 28: a picture of something you are afraid of. Excuse me, A picture of something of which you are afraid:
Its a bizzare fear, but I am really quite afraid of the prospect of not being able to have kids. And its one of those things that I dont want to double check at 18 to sate my nerves.

day 268

HAT TRICK!! I got a Hat Trick! That's right, I scored three goals! The last one was a left footer too. Man, Playing midfield is so much more rewarding than defence.

day 267

Being in Melbourne makes me realise how much I cant wait to move down here. Im a bit worried that I am glorifying living in Melbourne and there is no way that it will live up to my expectations.
day 27: a picture of you and a family member:
Emme, Embum, flemeline, flemington bull action rifle. actually I dont know if i call her that last nickname, but I certainly think it when I go to address her. I love how we are both laughing in this picture. she had just cottoned on to the fact that I was making her laugh so she wouldnt make a silly face and I was laughing at her reaction to my cunning plan.

day 266

I love the football! There truly is no other feeling like sitting with 50,000 other people and agreeing that it is necessary to let the Umpire know, in as loud a voice as possible, that a player was caught holding the ball. Tonight I went to see Melbourne vs. Essendon, neither of which are my team but I still had an absolute blast. Mostly because Essendon got beaten.
Day 26: Something that means a lot to you. I have been friends with David for 15 years that I can remember. It means a lot to me that we are still friends. not many 18 year olds can boast having a friend for that long.

day 265

Yeah look, I make Clark Kent look slow. look at me. bbbbzzooooommmmm!!!! I move so quickly I blur..

day 264

I have figured out that the state of my bedroom is a fanstastically acurate representation of the state of my mind. I tidied my room today, which is good. Its the first day of winter and there is nothing stopping me from having a great three months.
