The World Needs More Attack Dogs ...

Well I've not been on here for quiet some time and feel that a long blog is well deserved but my not be accomplished. I've kind of banished myself to my room to get a few things done, most of them being Uni work but I've gotten distracted again, which isn't unusual in this room (I should really take some photos of my room so you all understand just how distracting this room can be if I can't keep my mind on one thing).

This is the end of my second week back at University. I managed to finish a whole semester of University with out going completley mad. Not that the madness didn't decend,  it just didn't corrupt me completley it only had a lingering effect on me. So now I'm back in my wonderful College with my v. strange house mates making up our little family here. They're not really the sort of people you want to live with if you want to study and get good grades. I got in trouble with two of my house mates this morning because I don't having around with the family enough anymore. I've spent a few nights in the Unit downstairs and a few nights in my room doing study and a few nights drinking with them and having the CA come up and tell us to keep the noise down and then have the Security that walks around the college come up and tell us that we're to noisy. Now why wouldn't I want to hang around with them more often?? Their wonderful and I do love hanging around with them I just get the feeling that I'm missing out on the many in jokes that they all have because I mix with other people not just them. *sigh* I guess when it comes to college politics you can't win, nothing really changes from High School then does it ...
I did manage to pass all my classes last semester, I had prepared myself to have failed one or two of my classes last semester as I didn't do that amazing with a few of the assignments and I could have just taken them again next semester so I wasn't that worried. But luckley I dont have to put my Plan B into action as Plan A actually worked. COOL!!

( What I did during my five weeks off after the first semester. )

There we are then. I managed to get everyone caught up. I only got distracted a few times so it took a little longer to type than if I'd just done it all in one go. One of my distractions was to take a quick film of my room but the camera died before I got to my desk, but after you see this much of my room I think you can imagin what my desk would look like.

Well I hope that it was a good read for anyone who actually managed to get all the way through it.

I want to move to a capital city so I can do some volunteer work for a theater thats not a unknown as NORPA *sigh* there is never anyone good performing there ... might book some tickets to go see people in Brisbane. Like The Umbies. Anyone want to come?

I'll hopefully blog again soon. Gonna watch a movie and maybe sleep ... or just mess around on the internet a little more.
Oooh one more thing that I did while I got distracted tonight was sign up to Twitter. I swore that I wouldn't ... but well I get sucked into these social networking sites so easily and then there they all are. I'm actually in the process of deleting a few accounts that I have ... So my facebook page will then have to be updated because its the only place where all my memberships are recorded. Hahaha! I think I'll just stick with four, thats already too many but they are the most established.

How many saw last weeks Spicks & Specks episode?
Tim Minchin Pushing Adam Hills off his chair ... I've not squeed that much in a while. Just too funny!


Tim also managed to have a go at Dave by touching his wifes '2nd breast'


He also couldn't help standing like a 'wanker' (his words) while singing for one of the rounds and proceeded to jump for joy when they got them right ...

The cuteness of these two little boys was too much we just had to bring them home with us ... please don't judge us

I have to stay up for a bit longer. Reason - I got bottled, in Canada.
I went to a house party around the corner at the Canadians place. I was out on the veranda and Gord threw a wine box up to me, now this would have been a laugh if there hadn't been an empty VB bottle inside which struck me on the head and has given me quite a nice lump. I can't smile with it there it must be near me smile muscles or something.
I've been told by a few friends not to got o sleep but I think I'll finish writing this up and then I will sleep. I've had some water and ibprofen and its just dull now.
I'm also the first room in the house after the lounge/kitchen so I can hear everything and everyone in the lounge. So when the others got home tonight and I'd been told not to sleep yet I thought I would go sit with them. My House mate brought home a nicely inebriated friend home who was drunk enough to projectile all over my door and the hallway surrounding.
It smells nasty now.
My head feels a little dull.
I have a few of assignments to start on tomorrow.
Well sleep now ...

When you hear ‘Danny Bhoy’ is performing in a theater near you what’s your first thoughts? It isn’t “Yay! A new musical that I haven’t seen yet!” is it? Well I do understand that this was probably the wrong crowd of Comedy loving people to pose that question to. One audience member did informed Danny Bhoy that she had thought that she was coming to see a Musical … Odd.

Last night was memorable. Danny Bhoy the Scottish Comedian performed at the Star Court Theatre in Lismore.

Will finish this later … should sleep now …

I have such a love for watching other people. Not in a weird way; but watching the ways that people interact with people. The way people react to different things and interpret different things.

We’ve taken to watching ‘One Tree Hill’ which is brilliant but so distracting. It’s amazing that silly things like TV shows and video games can bring people together and enable them to talk about the different things in their lives that are bothering them so much. When I sit in the living room with the rest of the Unit and just listen I can hear so much being said and the friendships that are forming very easily with this little group of people. Now how does this happen within people that they can happily form little families within themselves where they look out for each other and talk about the most trivial of things to the rather important parts of life.

You can create places for your self all over the world with little families of friends that you share experiences with; I have a lot of these families all over the place that each are a different part of my life. It makes putting my life together difficult. There are very few constants in my life any longer, who I can share an experience with and will understand how it felt to be there, who can look at a photo and laugh at the memories associated, who will understand my in-jokes. I know that there aren’t constants in most peoples lives. When you watch these TV shows they show you groups of people who have had friends since they were tiny, who have grown up with the same people all their lives. Now I wouldn’t trade the experiences in my life be they good or bad for anything in the world, even though I have moved country to live 8 times. I do wonder if I missed out on anything though.

One thing I am thankful for is that I am a lot more worldly than a lot of people my own age, I can say I’m more mature (at times) than others.

Well I’ve had the biggest weekend I’ve had in a while. Went home for the weekend to see my brothers perform and attend the country fair. Rob was in the school musical ‘42^nd Street’ and both the boys performed in the pipe band, it was wonderful to watch and them perform and I just love pipe band music anyway so it was thrilling & entertaining.

The real story was my trip to and from Albury; it was epic, no exaggerations.

 

( Travel Itineray:- )

 

Well what a weekend I had. But it was wonderful. The only problem was that I didn’t get to sleep that night till 1ish, I got back and was conned into a marathon of Dexter. Hahaha!

I thought that I would put up a quick post as I'm trying to get back into the habit of it and not get too lost in the horror that is Uni. hahaha
So O Week finished on Sunday and I think everyone was in the unit for that night which was a first for the whole of O Week as there were usually a few people out drinking and not coming home to their own beds. I was not one of them, which oddly enough I'm being berated about. Guess I should throw my self out there a few times ...

Had my first day at University today and I had two lectures;

( Oddness ... )

My whole Unit has become obsessed with 'Crash Bandicote' on the PS, so we've almost finished the game between the eight of us in three days. Just the finaly boss to kill tomorrow.

Had better get some sleep. I've got lessons at 10am and not quite sure where the room is.
NIght night xoxox

Oooh! Tomorrow night we have commencement dinner, which is a semi formal event where I'm told your meant to dress up. We had to RSVP and everything. Very spesh! Tell more laters.
And I've already finished and submited my first assesment. Too easy. Lets hope its all that easy.

Well I’ve been in Uni accommodation for going on three days now and I think I’ve settled in nicely although my ability to gain friends easily; but I haven’t given up hope yet.

So I’ve been around the Campus a few times and decided that although my accommodation maybe on the grounds its up a 311m hill that might as well be a 311m wall for how vertical it is. I’ve had to walk up it three times in the last two days and its killing me. I know I’m not fit but I can walk for ages in the heat but not up a wall!

The drive up here was a killer. Two days 17hrs. With a car with a boot full of things that I need for up here (clothes and food). Only my mother as company in the car, although I think I laughed the whole way up here.

I got a thumb drive that is meant to plug into my laptop and get me tv so that I can tape it all and watch my fave shows when I have time and not when I’m meant to be making friends or studing. And the damn thing wont work so I’ve missed GNW, Rove, Spicks & Specks and anything else that I wanted to watch. So I’m hoping that now that I have wi-fi connection maybe the damn thing will work although I doubt it.
Right now I'm sat with the others in the common room of our Unit  (we're on the second floor of the building which has four Units in it. There is six people to a Unit, in this one there is three boys and three girls) watching '10 Things I Hate About You'. The group at the moment in here is close and we all went down to the Uni bar last night together. So it's nice.
