"Oi, they've got spoons for a buck!"

The title was overheard by the other and I at Cash Converters the other day and we had to stop ourselves from falling over from the laughter.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for not posting in a while. I made a conscious effort (inspired by the other) to do a shiteload of work in the last two weeks of school aswell as the first weekend of my break. Guess what? Now I'm free!! Yeahh, two weeks of sheer slackness, it's gonna be great. (Un)fortunately, the other and I have planned a lot of leisure activities and now the killer is going to be actually getting around to doing it. But I feel glad, I usually have to work damn hard in my class free period, but it's all my assignments and readings and tute q's for my first week back are already done and I am just sitting pretty. I'm looking forward to watching my Girl Tv DVD as well as my Terminator 3 DVD which I got for Christmas, yet have still not watched!

I'm going to attempt to make this a monster post in order to make up for my absence these last few weeks (the other doesn't view my picture posting as an adequate entry). Luckily, I have a hell of a lot of blog notes backed up from practically half a month ago to be used for this post! Writing about them gives me a great sense of joy. It's like finally dispensing with all the heavy change that weighs down your wallet.

Let me give tell you a story about a university in our town. Last year, an international student was murdered in her flat and nobody discovered the body for 6 months. The only reason her body was located was because the stench had engulfed her entire building and people complained. The policy at any university is to pursue any international student who doesn't attend a certain amount of classes per month. So of course, the admin of that uni had failed horribly in this. To make matters even worse, nobody (not even the student's own family in her native country) reported her missing. The university is copping a lot of flack for not taking care of its international students and there are reports that they may be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for it. I don't think it's that harsh since I do consider the administration at that particular university to be horrible. But the other factor is International Students from a certain region in the East who shall remain nameless because I don't want to offend them. All the other international students have integrated well in their new surroundings and have made new friends and socialise freely. However, the students from that part of the world actively keep to themselves and don't get involved with anything or anyone outside of their own people. This goes for any other University I have ever visited, don't think it's just an isolated case. But sheeit, the world is turning into a nasty place and if you don't make an effort to reach out to others, nobody is going to care what happens to you.

When in the hell will the stats for blogger start to update in real time again?! It's been freakin' 6 or so months since they stopped working! Why don't the bastards at blogger get their acts together?!

I had to go to the National Library a few weeks back in order to research something for an assignment. Usually I'm in the newspaper reading room in the second basement with geriatrics just getting some info into my head. But this time my business was located in the main reading room. I had just walked into the room and went to a computer to search for my books, when I took a look around and almost freaked out. It was Wednesday morning (10:50 am) and the place was crawling with freakishly stylish and attractive early 20 somethings! Not just that, half of my bloody uni was there! That girl from Primary school I used to have a crush on! That girl from my English class in college who I kissed! Someone from college who I hadn't seen in years. Even my freakin' Tax Law Lecturer from last year! What the hell?! This was certainly not what I was expecting. I ought to do more of my work there I tell you.

There was even this evil guy there! First, let me explain the backstory to this. I mentioned in one of my blogs a few weeks back that the other helped my edit one of my assessment items on the computers at uni. Well there was a guy in the room who was annoyed with the noise we were making and left after a few mins. Now, whenever I have been wondering aimlessly at uni or just outside of campus grounds, I've seen him! Is he stalking me?! I've only got one goal now, to butcher him mercilessly when the chance arises!

I've noticed that there's a lot of stuff written on chalk on the concrete around campus. One particular one that caught my attention was "power is everything". How true (especially with Administrative Law...hehehe). I think it definitely applies in my life. Now I feel the need to buy some chalk and write some mad sayings around there myself.

What the hell is it with young people in fancy cars? You know that most middle class folk, even with combined salaries cannot afford these kinds of cars. And when a youth is driving around in said automobiles, it fills me with a sense of "what the hell is the world coming to?". Sometimes I just want to go "fuck capitalism, the system sucks" and then ten seconds later I feel the need to buy some nice clothes, ahh such is life. When it's a European car, you know that rich parents are behind that one. When it's a japanese sports car, you know it's been bought with drug money.

Finally got to drive the other day. I'm not rusty, but I feel like I'm not at my best. I guess I'll have to get back into it in the break. What the hell is going on?! Even after the HECS cutoff date, campus is still packed! Usually when people realise how much uni sucks, they pack up and leave before the HECS liability date crops up so that they don't have to pay anything. Stupid growing student population.

Damn this weather to hell! I don't care if it's hot OR cold, but can we please stop having BOTH on the same day!!

Had a demented time in the library at uni the other day. Someone was in my seat, which always pisses me off to no end so I had to sit a bit further down than I usually do. Then, as I'm trying to pen a song, I keep hearing voices giggling and chatting away. I look over and in my seat, some girl is talking to some guy who is sitting across the freakin' OTHER table! Judging from their body language, it was quite easy to decipher what was going on. Flirting in the library? You sick fucks!! Anywhere else but there!! People are trying to work!! Damn nation, it was so obvious it made me want to scream and chuck a 2 year old like tantrum (haha, use a condom - side joke, the other shall fill you in)! The girl was later joined by another girl who honestly dressed rather well. The guy noticed this and promptly turned his attentions to her, much to the chagrin of girl #1. Hahaha, guys are idiots. We will go after anything in a skirt.

So in my new seating position, I was at the end of the row which is adjacent to a huge corridor filled with single desks. I really hate being looked at so of course this made me paranoid to no end. I looked up and I noticed that some girl was looking at me, then quickly wrote something down. I thought it was just a coincidence, but as I observed further, it became more and more obvious that she was writing about me! That bitch!! So I did the only thing I could, I retaliated! I grabbed my notepad and wrote THIS! Haha, I'm so lame!

I've noticed a proliferation in a new type of girl. I think it's probably brought on by the first years and such. But anyway, this new girl wears fitted denims, and a singlet top but with a classy little sweater on top as to not show off too much skin. I realised this as I was staring at some girl who was doing her work and came to the conclusion that these girls are just as prevalent as the other type of girls I mentioned a few blogs back! Then after she was done, she got up and walked past me and I almost died! Her fragrance was just so damn awesome!! I was sitting there looking like some fool in a post-coital daze. I was actually intoxicated! My fave feminine fragrances are Chanel No5 aswell as Tommy Girl (with the latter, I used to borrow a female friends scarf who wore that particular brand, and just inhaled it every psyche class in college)! But I had no idea what this was and it's driving me wild. I need to find out.

Word to the wise ladies, hoop earrings died out in the mid 90's! Don't play God, don't try to bring them back!!!

"The bastard is a fucker". Hahaha! The other said this out of pure disdain for his economics lecturer the other day. After he realised the sheer lunacy of it, we laughed for a good 5 minutes straight. Afterwards, I mentioned that it bad to go in the blog, so here it is!

I finally got to watch all of Nadiya's new clip on tv today (Signes). Damn that woman is so beautiful. But I also found out something scary after using babelfish and translating her website (my French isn't so good these days). She's 32 years old!! How is that possible?! She doesn't look any older than I do and I'm a good decade or so younger than her! Not only that, she has a child! An 8 year old boy!! I love a good shock now and then!

Ahhh I hate dinner parties. Well not when I attend them, but when my parents host them. Usually I have to unenviable position of having to babysit THE worst behaved children you'll ever come across. Having no human contact outside of Uni for most weeks and going to this, it certainly frazzles ones nerves. My entire routine just gets interrupted and I am just so damn annoyed! I think I'm going to lose it next time and grab my sword and impale all the little terrors to the wall!! Honestly, I don't know how I lasted through my two siblings without cracking their skulls open!!

We have a cleaner who comes every fortnight to clean the entire house. I returned home the other day and all my stuff upstairs had been moved! My tv, my blank CD's (which aren't labelled) were all thrown together and everything was just a massacre! I have an eccentric yet awesome way of having everything right where I need it, even if it looks chaotic (all geniuses do) but damn it, it's where I like it! I hate having my stuff touched! After moving my tv back, it's now getting shitty reception! Damn it, it makes me want to gut people randomly!!!

Oportos is a sweet sweet addiction of the other's and I. We have to eat it at least once a week in our massive 4 hour break. For those of you that don't know, it's grilled chicken fast food. I noticed last week that the manager who works there is a very gorgeous girl named Clare. Usually managers at fast food joints are twice the age of the counter staff and half as attractive but in this case it was just wow! She was wearing non fitted black work pants!! She still looked good! NOBODY looks good in those pants I tell you! I should stop talking about that place, I feel like going for some right now and it's bloody 2 am!

Damn you missionary girl! I had my legal theory tute last week and we were talking about natural law. Of course, the discussion harked back to religion and we all got chatty. Then the funny stuff, I was answering all the questions on Christianity and then she was answering all the questions on my religion! It was hell-arious. But wow, she's quite the knowledgeable one and she's surprised me. She even tried to school the class on my own religion! I haven't met someone that bright in a tute for a long time. The other's post about fools who don't shutup in tutes even when they have no idea rings true for practically every class. Of course it's our job to shoot people down with sound knowledge and divine debating skills! But garrgh! Beware the heightists! I just discovered that she's a good 6 inches taller than I am!

New eps of Law And Order SVU! It's been moved to after Medium now, so it's no longer in competition with The Amazing Race so I'm very happy. But wow, the MA episodes of SVU are just so much better than the other eps. They can make the tone of the show so much darker, but the level of secondary actors that they use in those eps are just phenomenal! They really make the show shine.

Ahhh, as the other mentioned, he was unaware that the Pope had died until I had told him. Being a young person, he's the only Pope I've ever known but wow. What an amazing person. I'm not a Christian and I tend to dislike most of the hardline Christians that I've met (mostly because of their patronising yet simultaneous judging nature which is just thinly veiled intolerance), but I respect and love him! He had a tolerance and love for humanity which is just sorely lacking in society these days. It's sad that he had to die, but it's natural part of life. Hopefully he can get all the answers he was seeking in life. If the next Pope is even half the man that John Paul II was, then Christianity has a bright future.

The other mentioned that function in his post. I don't really know what else he wanted me to go into since he covered all the interesting points! Functions are gold. It's the perfect opportunity for random parents to corner you and then interrogate you about every facet of your life. Besides that, I really don't have anything more to add about that event!

I just finished watching an old episode of the Sydney Piano Competition and I was just blown away. The piece performed tonight was Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #3 in D minor, which earned the performer a third place. Shite, if he was so freakin' awesome and only got third, I'd hate to see what the others are like! I really enjoy seeing virtuoso performances of any instrument. Instruments are a difficult thing to master, and I have a respect for anyone who can express themselves flawlessly through them.

Ahh, it's late and I have yet to e-mail Les Femme Anomaly so I shall get to that!

Yesh, it has been the biggest post in the history of this blog so you can all kiss my ass and take that to the bank and put a long term deposit with interest on it, bitches! Haha, just kidding! Have a nice day folks!
