I really don't know what it is about him...but Nick Hodgson from the Kaiser Chiefs......I think, is really really really hot lol. Plus he is a drummer, so yeah...hot! hahaha.
Anyhoo!!!!
I actually did something today, which was help out at a child care centre. It was for about two hours, and it was so much fun but I wouldn't go into a career of it...it is tiring, and I only went one day! Imagine doing it everyday!!! I want to be a secondary school teacher, so maybe I should really learn to cope with 'kids' more hahaha.
I don't really have much else to say.

Anyways that isn't why I am here tonight! I saw The Dark Knight today with my dad and I have three things to say: 1. Heath Ledger was AWESOME!!!! (and trully scary), 2. My love for Christian Bale (and his mouth lol I'm so weird) has been reignited and finally 3. HARVEY TWO FACE!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO man I am such a nerd....yesterday I was so over excited when I found Doctor Who's Series 4 finale (since we just started it here in Aus) and everyone was back! I also bawled my eyes out at the end...luckily nobody was home :D.
Anyways back to Batman....it was probably better than the first one, quite long though...sorta like Lord of the Rings: Return of the King...you think it's about to end, but it keeps going hahaha! Not that I minded, more time to look at Christian....see I love his mouth, it's hot ok...and the bat mask is perfect because it's all you can see...(not saying him without the mask isn't hot...coz that would be sooo false!)...and that voice...mmm...ok no more...I sound like an uber nerd, freakish stalker type hahaha but I'm not I swear!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a fan. I highly recomend you go see it....even if you haven't seen the first one, coz not much crosses over to it really...
What else have I recently come to love since I last blogged: Mark Ronson, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, The Mighty Boosh, Lily Allen, Eagle Vs Shark (so much better then Napoleon Dynamite, I dunno why people compare them...they're SO different! EvS actually has a dark storyline), FLight of the Conchords (just not sure if I mentioned my love for them before hahah), Mgmt, Paulo Nutini, Vampire Weekend, big earrings, read 7,8,9 of Princess Diaries series...I love it!, The Other Boleyn Girl (mainly because of Eric Bana and Jim Sturgess), Nutella.
Ah well thats all for now, I think :D
cheers

On Saturday was my 'going away' dinner with family at this local indian restuarant I have taken to because it has this nice butter cheese curry for me to eat. Anyways it was a whole lot of fun, I enjoyed it more then the last time we all went out for dinner (albeit I made more of an effort this time to not be bored). We finished dinner then headed back to my grandparents for dessert, chocolate and the rugby. I've never been a real big fan of rugby, mainly because I don't understand it all that well but I actually really enjoyed watching it! It was a really good game, like most NZ girls I think Dan Carter is quite handsome...but Richard Kahui is also quite cute and both of them played really well (well I thought so, but considering my lack of experience knowing the game..they might not have lol). I loved spending time with my family all together, it was really good and I will probably see most of them before I leave for good in exactly two weeks.
And on Sunday I went with my uncle up to Wellsford to visit my dad's side of the family (my uncle, aunt and cousin-with his girlfriend) at their farm. I find that with my dad's side of the family, our humour is very similiar which makes for good conversations and a few laughs. We had lunch, went to pat the horses (my uncle breaks horses in), saw the calves (ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!) and saw where my aunt makes her jewellery. She makes this special type of jewellery that I cannot remember the name of the material....anyway I scored a huge loot of stuff she didn't need (earrings and necklaces). She sells her stuff on trade me, most of it is amazing! Despite the rain it was a good trip.
Then we came back to my grandparents, had dinner, watched the Top Gear polar special (the africa one is next week yay! I watched it on youtube but it will be better on tv) and then I came back to the flats.
TOday I have my psych exam, the last exam I will ever do at Unitec. Am I studying? No...what am I doing?...watching Life on Mars series 2 and Flight of the Conchords while drinking tea. I don't give a shit what score I get on the exam, I am only going because everybody thinks I should have some gritt and finish off what I started....so I am going with minimal study (but hey I did two years of psych in highschool so give me a break!). However I have no idea what time it is, but it's okay because I am getting picked up by a friend. We'll be going for drinks after to celebrate.
I have a big week this week too. It is my last week as an independent flatter; I move out on Sunday. Tomorrow I go and get the Aussie money I've asked for at the bank to switch with my NZ one from my account which I will close down eventually. Thursday might be lunch with the grandparents and then there is a big party for the end of semester and farewell to international students which I will attend. Uh what else...Saturday I will go over to Joey's and stay over, before Sunday she comes and helps me move all my shit out of my flat. I will remain at my grandparents until the 7th where I fly out in the morning and be home in Melbourne by around 9ish :D
anyways, I better get back to 'studying'.

ETA: Change of plans due to hatred of flat mates, am now moving out on Wednesday and it is set in stone too.

lonelyIt was actually very terrible the amount of junk we ate....I am slightly ashamed, luckily I have given up my dream of being thinner...I am comfortable with my body (plus I am thin enough..55kg is not fat, I got the right curves thank you!) and found some better role models to look up to. then the ones I was hoping to be like..I'll still go to the gym but not as much or get stressed out as much when I eat. I think the media plays a big role in making girls feel insecure about weight, we're subjected to thin actresses and models all the time. Not only that but people are picked on for being too fat...and then for being too skinny...and as soon as one thin actress puts some weight on, they all condem her for getting fat...what the fuck!!! Its disgusting and I am sick of having to feel like I need to be ultra thin.
That is my rant for today. Plus I was meant to go to the gym this morning but it was raining so I went and bought a cookie instead....
I was supposed to attend my first exam today...but I missed it...on purpose. I didn't ever want to go but everyone (aka family) was like 'take some pride, finish it off'...yeah there is no pride in going to an exam and sitting there staring into space because you can't answer any questions....yeah fuck that, so I will go to my psych one because I have the advantage of already having done two years of that subject, I could at least answer a few questions...plus I actually listened more in that class. I don't give a fuck, I've basically dropped out...I'll start my new course next year and be serious then...right now I just wish three weeks would end and I'd be home...
I like learning and everything, but this was just boring...and I don't do well with boring as my Year Eight report tells us (though Mum threw it out so...).
ANyways Im over it all.

No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Then you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with wilest worms to dwell
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it; for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
Isn't that just beautiful?....in a sad, bittersweet way I think it is beautiful.

I am heading home in July for good, Ciao New Zealand!!! It was a frickin hard choice to make but I have finally managed to come to one....and that is it. I pack up and leave the flats on the 29th (hopefully) and spend the week at my grandparents until the 7th when I fly home...back to Melbourne....back to home....and IM EXCITED!!! Four weeks is AGES away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in other news I was so bad today..I spent 173 dollars on dvd's, that money is meant for food....I got the Dead Like Me series (both seasons) and Life on Mars (season two-which I left behind in Aus and never got watch!!)....but so far I have not regretted it, despite having english muffins for dinner....whatever....I can survive until I get more money...plus I have about fifty dollars left in my wallet....if I grow desperate, it's there!!!
anyways Im tired....so this is for me

So I watched Robin Hood for the first time in ages, over here in New Zealand where I reside they're up to season two episode eleven ....I have a moral dilemma...Robin or Guy?...Now when I first started watching back in season one, I had just watched North and South so I was naturally in love with Richard Armitage and therefore I was on Guy's fanbase...but I am a girl and Jonas Armstrong is hot so ....now I am torn, lol...Robin is hot and on the good side...Richard Armitage is hot but not really as Guy (apart from the sexy black leather) but in last night's episode he was so nice to Marion (well eventually lol...but he was genuinely upset at her which makes me believe he has a heart under that leather)...so who do I pick...Robin or Guy?...do I have to pick?--see life is full of trivial matters these days!!
I'm in my lecture right now, I am supposed to be listening to presentations but I am on here and watching Youtube videos instead....oops. It's almost exam time and then this lame semester will be over and I can go visit home in Australia...hopefully to return in my photography course to finish the year off in this beautiful adopted homeland! I don't want to leave all my friends just yet :S!!!! I am to sort out a whole lot of shit this month-my course, my new flat etc etc. It's intense...lol...and get through these two exams with a substanial mark at least even though I am sure I have already failed....that's what happens when you don't hand anything in eh!
Oh I am getting dirty looks from the lecturer, I should go haha

Sorry for the title but I've spent the week randomly quoting Dylan Moran, trying to fit it in to a daily situation but it's mostly just ended up me speaking like a loony.
It's been a while since I've posted here, which is unusual but I've just been quite busy getting through this semester with some dignity intact.
That Said.
Rather than studying (pssh who does that anymore!) I spent the afternoon watching Muse-live at Wembely Stadium in 2007 (it wasn't until after the very short concert that I realised it was just extracts from the DVD). There is something really really hot about a guy with a guitar, its so sexual in a way-ok, well those who knows how to work the guitar-especially Matt from Muse, that red suit was doing all sorts of wonders...I'd have to say that he and Adam Levine from Maroon 5 are the hottest guys when it comes to playing the guitar (..have you seen that new Maroon 5 song with Rihanna...nuff said).
I've been known to say that Muse song's sound like dirty sex, which they kinda have that effect don't they? They're also one of the best live bands ever and I can't wait to go see them one day...it would be mind blowing!
I'm also wanting to get Coldplay's new album "Viva La Vida", that band is a guilty (secret) pleasure of mine since everyone else I know either hates them or thinks their music makes them feel sad or something...but their new album so far sounds good and I keep seeing the ad for it...I love "Violet Hill" and the one on the ad "When I ruled the world"?..yah, aweseom. I can't say I like all their songs but that happens with any band..
"Foolish....Foolish sucka....Fool..." "Hello?" " Oh hello is Eric there please?"-Eagle vs Shark
I went to the gym this morning, after not going since Wednesday and eating like a pig on those days too...but I am getting a cold and felt uncomfortable and sick the whole time...then I was disappointed when I got on the scales and haven't lost any weight since I started :( Blah, this whole thing sucks hard core! I can see the results starting to happen but seriously! I am not patient at all when it comes to this stuff...anything else I have the patience of a god...but when it's weight and exercise...it all goes out of the window.
Now that I am getting a cold, I probably won't be feeling up to the gym...argh! The world wants me to be fat I tell you!!
There is so much I need to do this month! Get into a new course, see the accomodation about moving to another flat for next semester, making sure I can change my ticket for my visit home for 175 and not 300 as I suspected...and a whole bunch of other stuff. Argh, it's going to be a hard month...luckily I only have two exams that I won't be hard out studying for since I don't ever plan on doing Communications again!!!
Phew.
Well I'm off.

Also on my mind is my decision about what I will do with my life now that I have seriously started to lack in my work at uni because the course is a peice of shit! But I am so concerned that if I leave New Zealand and the happiness it bought me...that I'll go back to Aus and be miserable....I've discussed options with Mum and I think I'll finish the semester off...and pick up a certificate for the next semester in photography and make it to the end....I want to at least feel like I made it. I'm so torn about what to do.
i gotta go though, my lecturer is talking again.

I wanted to start my healthy diet today but it was has been ruined by Jess and Kelsey. Jess bought Macca's for us all and got me a salad burger, which is probably a little healthy...then Kelsey got chocolate. I ate a cookie this morning since I skipped breakfast as I was running late, I'm sad the No Doz I took hasn't really had much of an effect on me so far...disappointed!! I seriously thought it might be similiar to speed...which I don't really want to do lol.
Anyways I should study. I might edit this later with how I think I went...
ETA I got 10/20 lol its a pass

Last night was my cousin's 21st which was held mainly outside...I had to ditch the dress I was wearing and trade it in for tattered old jeans and my beautifully warm duffle coat with it's eskimo hood! :D. I had fun last night, eventually once my other cousins and Joey arrived...I spent most of the night just with Joey, Toni or Josh until they left to go home. We took some happy snaps down at the park, but I was too chicken shit to go to the wharf....ah well.
Later I sat with a few others at 3am listening to some of the boys playing guitar and singing Death Cab songs...haha cute boys with guitars always get me! (one was Canadian which was just awesome!). Earlier when Joey was still there, the song Hallelujah was started up and we all sang along, which sounded really cool! I eventually made it to bed which was this uncomfortable, army type stretcher thing with my Aunt's vicious cat sleeping at the end of it...luckily for me Oliver must have been in a good mood and pleasantly slept at my feet for most of the night..this morning we had a big breakfast with the few straggelers who stayed over.
Well I'm gonna go get my stuff ready to go home.

I went out clubbing with the girls upstairs (and Craig) last night for the first time since I got here. After waiting for ages to just leave the flats, we realized our method of transport, the bus, was not going to work since it was too late...so we got the guy at the BP to let us use their phone and call a Taxi Van.....then we went down to Queen St to bust some moves in the dance clubs...man are those things a war zone...not just the dance floor but the fights that go on outside!! I love dancing though I have decided, it is so liberating to move around to the music...and I managed to only buy one drink the whole night...Craig bought me one, then this drunken guy next to me at the bar bought me my drink(though I have the impression he might never have paid for it...oops) and another one which I handed off to Craig...the guy soon left in a fury of broken glass so I dunno what happened...lol...but hey, free drink!
We managed to get back around 3ish (cramming four girls into the back of a normal taxi cab) ...I got to bed around 4...then woke again at 5....then woke again periodically until twelve when I decided to get out of bed and have a shower...I was planning on not leaving my room all day, sleeping...but I soon disregarded that because I would be so bored after ten seconds.
Anyways thats all for now.

Who else loves that song? I got my friend to send it over MSN since the uni here doesn't let us use limewire or any downloading programs. I'm also in love with the song Mercy by Duffy which I have yet to get...and Monster by Meg&Dia, that song is the shiz!!! I have a pretty dodgy version but it's still hearable...lol I know that's not a word.
Anyways, I stayed up until 4am chatting with Aram, Craig and Ezra upstairs....I slept until twelve, sleeping through my alarm to get up and go the gym with the girls from upstairs. I got up, had a shower, had some lunch and went to the dairy to get a V and some more credit for my phone. I really kinda wish holidays were over, they're so boring and finding things to do is such an effort....I really am not liking the hours I spent watching facebook hoping something will change on it....I need a job, hardcore! I know most people are like "I hate work"...but without one, it's seriously boring...at least with work you have something to complain about...when you have nothing to complain about people can easily say "well do something then"...not that easy when you are a) poor....and b) without a car...and c) without the self confidence to go to anyone elses flat and just hang out with people you only know a little...lol...I'm so weird sometimes.
Luckily yesterday Kelsey was free for some time and we went to the New Lynn mall and did some window shopping, which is always in danger of me spending money that I cannot afford to spend! We had some lunch, Kelsey embaressingly (for her) had to order me a burger from the fish and chip place, saying "everything but the fish thanks"...then we got some library books, went to get some chocolate and went back to mine before she had to leave to babysit. I sometimes wish I had a car...but for that I need a job...so on Saturday, I am printing resume's off!! I can't stand this any longer!! I worry about money, but I spent it like a mad woman!!
Well I'm off to do some more of nothing...

Of course, there was also the gorgeous air force boys in their uniforms....hey, we're only human!!!
Yesterday my friend and I went to the musuem and saw the war section. It was amazing! I am into war and military stuff so to see it all there was just a dream come true...uniforms, letters, diaries, guns, equipment, two big planes (including a spitfire), model boats, videos, photos, medals. Then the most beautiful and the most emotional place I have ever been...the Hall of Names....this long, great marbel walled hall with just dozens of names of soldiers who fell in World War Two. Two whole walls full of names. We sat there just amazed and saddened by the amounts of the names of those who never made it home...it was peaceful there until the little shits from primary school came noisly running down the hall!
well thats all, I might get some sleep.

It started about ten ish while watching the comedy gala on TV (in what I dubbed "The Nest"..two long couches pushed together and decorated with a doona cover, some pillows and the remotes) and I soon decided something was quite wrong and texted a friend to ask her to take me to the doctor tomorrow before we hung out. A few hours later I would be wishing I could go to the doctor straight away! It progressivly got worse and worse as the time went on and getting up out of The NEst every twenty seconds is not an easy fete, let me tell you!
Then Eff came over and I was forced to admit that something was wrong as I had to get up constantly which started to be embarressing! The tears then came as I realized three things : one, i had an infection...two, i dunno how I will pay for it since I don't have a special card here like medicare and three...it was bloody annoying!!...poor Eff stayed with me to give required cuddles, kisses and wiping of tears which was very very sweet and I am so glad he stayed. (I dunno if he was joking but it made me feel better when he said "you look hot when you cry" haha). Reflecting on this wonderful affection I got from him, I got all sad because what will happen if I get sick when he has left for Mexico...who will cuddle and kiss me then :(. I try not to think about him leaving but it's not that far away anymore and I will be so sad because when he actually leaves leaves NZ (he is doing some travelling first) I will be visiting home....ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
So today, it has settled a little but is still painful and I will be heading off to the doctors shortly to hopefully get something for it, us girls are going out for dinner tonight and I'd hate to miss it!!!!
Sorry about whatever over share I committed haha!

Yay! I finally livened up my room a little...added some nice fabric to the windows and shelves...added some candles, incense, ornaments...it feels very pretty now and homely :D Kels and I went to Spotlight, which was getting dangerous after a while as I could probably spend my entire life savings on that place, my next thing is this awesome fur rainbow fabric to make a rug! It's so sweet!!! We just had room inspection which I thought for sure I was going to get in trouble for pinning stuff to the walls and shelves...lol but it's all cool, the RA just said he'd bring me round some stuff for my cold (as I can't afford it right now haha) which was nice of him...oh but I got in trouble for the fact our fridge is straight onto our carpet, urgh made a note to the other. I went hard out clean yesterday because I was sick of the mud hole we were living in, I added some life to the place which will progessivly get brighter and brighter trust me haha Spotlight has not seen the last of me!
well thats all I have, I'm too bored to write anything else!

I really dislike holidays here because everybody at the village who can home, do which presents me with two problems which is 1. I'm so bored because none of them are around and 2. I envy them as I wish I could go home for the holidays! (Which I am but in July, which is sooo far away!). I have decided to pretty up the flat while the two boys are away, give it a good clean and maybe make some sort of roster for them all when they get back. Two of my uni mates who don't like on campus are going to come over and help...lucky I have them, so i can hang out with somebody these holidays (there is Eff since he can't exactly go back to Mexico for two weeks lol but I need some girly time too ya know).
anyways Im off for a shower or maybe fall asleep again, damn cold! DAMN CRAIG!!! blah.

I can't be bothered eating, which is ok because I have no food hahaha...I did have a lettuce and cheese sandwich before but that was plain. gurgle gurgle gurgle...
It was the end of term party...P Party if you will...something starting with P...I was Punk...and had the shortest skirt on you can imagine! I was a prostitute punk more like it...It was an interesting night, apprently a big fight went on at the local student bar on campus....which I must have missed as I stumbled back with Eff to the flats....woo stumbled I didn't! hahaha
anyways im off to continue nursing this headache :S
