vegie soup

2009-09-02T19:01:00.003+10:00

After being inspired by both Jade and Michelle to blog, here it is.

I made some delicious vegetable soup and now i'm going to eat it.

Like Michelle said in her blog, "baby steps". I shall take that advice.

i hate...

2009-05-08T13:56:00.002+10:00

I hate new relationships. But no, i really do love them, but i just get so annoyed. if someone likes me, i want them to show it. i want to be pursued. I WANT TO BE PURSUED!!! for god's sake, you live just down the road. not far at all. i'm RIGHT HERE. it can't be that hard, really, to arrange something. so i'm thinking i really like someone. and we've only hung out twice right?? twice. not many times at all. and then the dreaded thing happens. COLD SORE. eww. on the second 'date'. not a good thing. it was like an instant lip fungus. no tingle, nothing. BAM. there it was. so no kissing to be done. FUCK FUCK FUCK. i hope i haven't put him off with my lip fungus and lack of kissing. i am just sooo annoyed right now. what if he doesn't really like me at all?? what if he's gone all cold on me? i have time in my life for someone. where the fuck are you??? i was really happy the other day. i felt kinda special. you know, random text messages in the middle of the day. awwww someone's thinking about me! how nice! but now....nothing. this fucking sucks.

and we lost netball last night :(

ahhh sorry, just venting. xx

Midori, please (shaken...for 2 hours)

2009-01-25T10:36:00.004+11:00

Feeling a bit flat right now after drinking most of a bottle of Midori last night but just the thought of those glasses of champagne over my eyes (sparkly pink glasses in the shape of 2 champagne glasses) makes me happy. And the fact I just ate one of Lisa's amazing omlettes (Lisa, being me), I'm sure I'll perk up before 11:30, when I leave for work. In the meantime, I shall blog and watch Video Hits which has become custom since Year 8 at boarding school. I don't watch Video Hits every week any more, but when I do, it's almost a treat. :) Really.

This time last week, I was headed for date number one with Jonniem. Date number one involved coffee and some food at a local cafe, very handy for me. Look, I'm not really in the mood to even reflect on how it meant. There's been a bit of reflecting this week already. Let's just say it went fine, we chatted for a couple of hours, ate, drank, laughed, shook (not me, just him...for the whole 2 hours) paid (he paid! "you can pay the next one") and went our separate ways...with a kiss on the cheek. I felt he was going to the lips, went for the side-swipe. Man, I'm crafty. He emailed me in the week saying how nice a time he had and we should do it again. What to say?? How to reject...nicely?? So I won't go into that. but let's just say I haven't heard back. Was I expecting to hear back from a rejection? I guess not, I don't know. I've never done that before by email. Normally you reject face to face or on the phone and there's some kind of reaction. By email, there's nothing. Blank. Delete.

So date number 2 was supposed to be with another dude. We were going to meet in Richmond, have a drink...and if we liked each other we could go back to his place. For sex. Isn't that nice? He called on the Saturday to reschedule. I told him he was a cunt (not using that word) for putting it like that and he laughed, said he was joking and can't wait to catch up. OK. Since then, we've just been emailing. He's been busy, as have I. Maybe this week some time.

You know what? I'm so over the whole internet dating. Whose brilliant idea was this anyway???

Also, I dreamt this morning that the cat had scratched me and my arm tore open. I was lying in bed this morning holding my arm together, thinking it was going to split into two. There wasn't any blood. I am bloodless.

On another note, I advertised Lexy's room on realestate.com.au for the perfect replacement and found 20 people coming through here in 5 days. Lex (and I, I suppose!) decided on Charlie. Charlie is a 25-year-old personal trainer for Fitness First. Go, Charlie! He likes cats and the sun. As expected, he's very fit. Also, he was the only one that brought not one, but two written references. He was crazy vibrant and outgoing and friendly. I think we'll get on well. I have thought twice about why he would want to live with me. Does he think I'm his latest project. *slap face* Don't think like that. He wants to live with you because you're a great chick and have an awesome place.
He brought his mum and brother round yesterday to show them the place (isn't that the sweetest? His mother?! ) Anyhow, I have decided Charlie is going to change my life. Check out the new and improved Lisa, coming to a corner near you.

back by popular demand!

2009-01-14T22:41:00.003+11:00

Well, not so much by popular demand, but since revealing the fact I have a blog to certain people (Leela!), I've been asked to blog again. FANCY THAT! being asked why I haven't written?? Isn't that nice!

So it's since turned 2009. I've official called 2009 the Year of the Internet Date. It goes like this:

January, chatting on dating site
February, getting phone numbers and ringing them
March, dating
April, sex???? oh come on, that's, like, forever away

Scratch that. I'm reorganising as follows:

January, chatting on dating site and getting phone numbers
Mid January, meeting, dating, having sex

Ahh, that's much better. chuckle chuckle.

That's as far as I've gotten. I don't plan on sticking to this time table, but it's just an estimate! You don't want to rush into these things, you know.

So far I have one phone number from bluejapan. he seems nice an even put up a almost nudie pick for my perusal (sp). isn't that nice?

I'm also speaking to some guy called jonniem who says he's not a dumbarse, but is a smartarse. "Is that ok?"

Also another guy called GodlessCommie. I really have to fuck him off.

And then there's socialphobic. I think he lives in Bayswater (really...) and is mad about movies...of which I am not so mad about. He has had one girlfriend for 3 weeks and had sex 9 months ago. Really! the things you learn on dating sites. Now, with a name like socialphobic...I'll say no more.

Aside from OkCupid!, i'm also online checking out housemates. If you know of anyone, send them my way. I've decided men are the no-go. i may be substituting them for a sexless boyfriend.
Lex is moving out on the 6/7 Feb (his bday weekend) and i'm aiming to get someone in straight away. It's down to Vidya (an Indian whom I don't want to live with and, no, i'm not being racist) .... and that's it so far.

And aside from loooking for a new house buddy, 2009 has definitely picked up happy-ness wise since the last week of 2008! god, those were miserable days. shit shit shit! looks like 2009 contains the same amount of cocktails, if not more, than last year! hopefully the Year of the Internet Date also includes more tennis playing (come on, Adam!), more gym (yes, Leela) and no more babies (so i can drink with my pregnant baby-making friends)! btw, a big shout-out to Jade, Joel and new baby girl Zadie! And Sarah and baby still in tummy but all the way in Perth. Also more sex, no need to travel to Perth just for a sure thing! Also a return to netball (thanks Mel for getting me back into a team, only if it has been 2 games - we won by 20 goals last week and i'd like to think it was thanks to my brilliant play, and another one tomorrow night - that will be the tester, apparently they're quite good).

On a final note, come on bluejapan, let's get it on. Bluejapan and me coming to a restaurant near you. Oh, dear........

Yellow cardigans and other happy things

2008-12-26T14:34:00.002+11:00

I've heard that colour affects your mood. So, I decided to take this onboard. I wore a yellow cardigan to work this morning. Yellow, being a happy colour. Didn't seem to work. So I came home and ate pocky and watched Dirty Sexy Money. I did feel a little better after that.
Thought I'd do something fun for Boxing Day or even the weekend. I haven't got any plans besides resting my fragile self. Party, anyone?

I'm speaking in short sentences today.

Christmas spirit

2008-12-24T16:38:00.003+11:00

Don't let the new design deceive you. This time of year, particularly this year, is a real bitch for me. I love Christmas, don't get me wrong. I love deciding what to get for people, going shopping, buying wrapping paper and ribbon and sticky tape. I love writing the cards and wrapping the presents and bursting at the seams to tell people what I got them! This year, I was more organised than most other years. I posted my cards by the 10th of December, also posted stuff to WA so it would have 10 days to make its way to Albany. I bought my housemate some practical things and even our latest visitor a little something.
The thing I hate is people taking their families for granted. Wait...it just occurred to me that about this time last year I may have been posting practically the same thing. But wait, there's more. I won't go on with last year's tangent. Instead, I'll say how sad I am today. People are so up and down with me. I mean, one minute they're super nice. Then they're ignoring me. I can't really take this love/hate shit for much longer. In fact, I'd had just about enough today. I had a big cry in the shower, snot dripping down my chin like a little kid, sobbing in the shower so no-one else could hear me. Did I want them to hear me? Maybe. Did I want them to find me with my wrists slashed in all my nakedness? Not so much. I didn't go that far, not to worry. I'm just being silly. So I'm either invited to something or I'm not. If you don't want me to go, don't invite me in the first place. If you're only inviting me because there's other people present expecting me to be invited, just 'fess up and say that I'm not invited. If you really don't want me to tag along, pull me aside and say "Hey, I'd rather you not come along". I promise I won't wash a bottle of Panadol down with an even bigger bottle of Vodka. I'd rather to be just told the truth. Which brings us back to families. I wish this year that I was with mine. It's been a while since I've had a WA Christmas. It's been pretty much forever since I've not worked on Christmas Day. So when I get all excited about the fact that I won't spend Christmas day at work amongst my peers eating delicious pork and other such tasty morsels because I've been "invited" to a family do, I don't want to feel unwanted. And I do. I'm pretty sure these feelings are purely Christmas-related. Also a feeling of unwantedness is destroying me because perhaps the person I really, really liked didn't know it and got himself another girlfriend. It's not that I don't like her. I just find myself having to be nice to her. Because that's what I am - a nice person. Unwanted, yes. Unloved, slightly. Except I know there's love coming from the other side of the country, for sure. Gotta love family. But it's those that are immediately close to me, not in family, but in proximity, that I wish would show me more love.
Cancel Christmas? Yes, please.

hello, hotness

2008-12-22T19:04:00.003+11:00

Is it hotness or hottness?

it's getting hotter and i'm still in my tracksuit pants. i think i should probably stop wearing them.

the fan is on and the front bit fell off and i stuck my hand in it. but i'm still typing ok so guess i still have all my fingers.

i want to open my christmas presents now

i want my cold to be gone. I feel a bit shit but did sleep 3 hours this afternoon to get rid of the collapsing chest.

i drank enough this friday, saturday and sunday to pickle myself. but i didn't eat any pickle. i did eat mexican, however, including 3-day-to-make beans. they were very good.

i just showed someone what closed captions look like. it happened to be Today Tonight time. I nearly shot myself the fact that I turned to 7 between 6:30 and 7pm. And then the story was about drink sizes and binge drinking. Coincidence?

SKANKS...say no more

lex's stinky feet are stinky

there's shit tv tonight.

haiku x 3

2008-10-19T09:48:00.003+11:00

I have hayfever
I am sneezy and itchy
Is it my pillow?

Daily Deals help me
I bought a nice, new pillow
Microlux Delux

Pillow doesn't help
Though allergy-free and clean
I think it's the cats

I went to Cairns!

2008-09-05T10:24:00.004+10:00

As the title says, I did go to Cairns!

Day 1 - Thursday

Flew to Cairns with my excellent friend Beth from Perth, she left little Saj at home with her dad. Got to Cairns about midday and headed to the motel/dive - Comfort Inn City Sheridan. Ah, who cares - $3 happy hour spirits! Good enough for me. And a fan. Extra good. Also the shower was quite good. Fresh towels each day - hey, that's better than my place! Headed for a walk through town for some lunch, ended up down at the pier at an Italian restaurant for a pizza and wine. Then went to Bellavista for more drinks/cocktails. Before we knew it, was late afternoon. Headed back to hotel for more drinks! Then out to Paddywacks for a good feed :) And a drink at some pub. FUck it's hot/humid.

Day 2 - Friday

Up early down to Tusa 5 dive to take us to the outer reef for some spectacular diving at Millen Reef and then to Oasis. SPECTACULAR!! except for the highly unflattering full-body wetsuit. And hugely uncomfortable fins. I guess it's better than not being quite so buoyant and speedy. Maybe a touch of seasickness on the way there...but we managed to hold that in. Can't say the same for another girl. Eww. Saw eel, shark, turle, tons of coral and beautiful fish. Seriously, i used to be the crazy one of me and Beth. Now it's her! touching the coral (which i don't recommend), we swam like 1km from the boat... she kept seeing all the good stuff first! i don't know what's happened. ah well :) So We were knackered by the end of the day but managed to drag out matty-hair asses down to the pool for a swim and happy hour/s drinks and then to a cheapo cafe for food. Cairns has more restaurants than Melb and tourists are 60% of the population.

Day 3 - Saturday

Up super early (like 3.45am) to go hot-air ballooning!! Caught a bus to just out of town to a little paddock where they're blowing up about 5 balloons. So much better seeing them in person than watching them float past work at 6am. Didn't go over the town, just some paddocks/bush/kangaroos. Landed in some spare land. THen they bussed us to an open buffet shed thing where we ate a big brekky in preparation for our island adventure!
Off to Green Island for some great diving...where we found not-so-great diving. Apparnetly it was the second-lowest tide of the year. We took off from the shore...only to find we couldn't go far because the reef was out of the water already and we couldn't go any further cuz how coudl we get back in?? Had a go on the glass-bottomed boat. Pretty average. Overcast, rain. So plenty of time to drink cocktails while we waited for our boat back to mainland. And more hotel drinks!
My friend Eve who I hadn't seen since year 10 called and she's living in Cairns now, physio, and took us out for dinner and a drink. It was great catching up, she's a wonderful person, so beautiful and kind! She drove us around for the next few days, drank, ate, recommended all sorts of excellent things! Thanks, Eve! You're welcome in Melbourne any time!

Day 4 - Sunday

This was such a great day, maybe even better than the outer reef day! EXCELLENT. Beautiful boat ride out to Fitzroy Island, there isn't much out there right now because some dude bought the island a couple of years ago and is rebuilding a resort. Walked the rainforest track 600m to Nudie Beach where the beach is crushed up coral (not so great for soft feet!) Didn't look like very promising reef to look at, but had a swim anyway. There was a change in the colour of the water where the ocean drops away. Decided to dive out there where we found tons of coral, TURTLE CITY!! also a nice swim, quite calm. Walked back to the main area through the forest and to the other side where there was tons more coral and fish but very shallow and the tide was heading out so we didn't get much diving time. I did manage some cuts on my feet though. NICE! Time to chill out on the beach. It's the first time EVER i've sat and read on a beach/laid on a towel and slept (in the shade, i'm very conscious of skin cancer). The tree moved or the sun, whatever, and burnt my leg :( Anyway, more cocktails at the cafe, then back to the mainland. Cairns has a big sunday session so no time for shower or change, but straight to the Pier bar where Eve was! Had a bite to eat at a restaurant that the same dude that owns 2 places in melb owns 2 places in Cairns. Delicious food and cocktails. Then to Pier bar to meet Eve where Miss Indy 2008 was being judged. You know they weren't that great, I could have won it. No, not really :) So Sunday was a very big night including drinks, pool, dancing, smoking, kebab, arguments, blisters, kissing of wrong people, just overdoing it in general. Good fun, really.

Day 5 - Monday

Good day to catch a bus, feeling like shit. Cancelled our Franklin Island trip and got a tour up to Cape Tribulation. The tour guide was full-on. The whole day was rush, rush, rush, no time to do anything. And it was overcast and a little cold. Went to Mossman Gorge for a quick swim, a wildlife park to see some animals, ferry to other side where Cape Trib is, photos at some lookouts, stopped for lunch at a picnic bench and look at the water, then back home. On the way, stopped at a croc tour where we saw 2 crocs. Fell asleep and drove back to Cairns. Apparently they'd had THE nicest day of the whole week this day, 35 degrees, sunny, fucking hot - we missed it. :( oh well. Back to the hotel, drinks, clean up and met with Eve down at the Pier for a really nice farewell dinner at Waterfront Grill andBar or something like that. Very tasty. Then to PJs for a drink and some pool. Nice end to our holiday.

Day 6 - Tuesday

Next day was just bit of a sleep in, pack up, check out, walked around for an hour and some breakfast and then Eve took us to the airport. And that is the end of my holiday! Photos on Facebook cuz i'm too much of a dick to work out how to put them here.

nothing

2008-07-02T20:52:00.002+10:00

i had something really funny i wanted to blog...but I can't remember what it was. was so funny at the time.

i got a ride home tonight in jo's car that zena borrowed, an old cortina. it's so cute and i felt so speeecial being driven home :)

and my tummy is full with this awesome fried-ish rice i made. it is brown rice, onion, brocollini, mushroom, corn, chilli, ginger, soy sauce and sesame sauce. yummmm. ohhh and the roast chicken. most important ingredient for very much a non-vegetarian!

I THINK I REMEMBER!! but it's still not that funny. in fact, it's not funny at all. i think i was so hyped up on michelle's peanut/chocolate tart that i was hysterial. ok... so some kid (seriously - KID) comes in to work today for an interview. he's all of about 18. looked like a fucking MODEL. how hilarious. now, i'm not saying we're not all seriously hot at our workplace, but...this was another type of hotness. one that doesn't really fit in at this stage. i'd love it if he got the job and then his introduction to captioning was the bowling night this saturday night we're having . now, that i'd like to see - seriously funny. not only his reaction to all of us getting PISSED, but also... nope, that's it. the reaction would be enough for me :) welcome, model boy.

can't think of one

2008-06-24T19:45:00.003+10:00

i'm NOT going to write what i'm really feeling because I don't want to read it over and then laugh at myself. but i AM just touching base.

oh, yes, i went to new zealand and that was great. with mum and dad in a campervan. niiice! pics on fb.

the whole facebook thing surprises me occasionally, including the other day when i get added by a friend that i haven't heard from in YEARS. brings back awesome memories. great time in my life...most of it!

working, shmurking. fun fun fun! doing sunrise right now, you know, just for a change :) only till the end of the weekend

footy friday night, even though i know west coast have no chance of winning whatsoever. have faith! no, i'm not going to preach either...except to the footy gods. so that should be fun. the G is always fun !

drinks with sexy peoples saturday night after work

i'm gyming every day and it's great! feeling good. i have twitching muscles (as opposed to rippling!!) no, i think it's when they're tired, they twitch. one of the PTs at the gym says she heard it's a mild form of epilepsy. what a croc.

planning my 5-day trip to cairns, well not really because i'm shit at planning stuff because there's so much stuff i want to do and i can't decide. any suggestions as to what to do in cairns or thereabouts? it's my job to book flights! but i'll pass on suggestions to the powers that be...them being beth!!! it's straight after the olympics so great timing!

i've been really bored lately so if anyone wants to go out, let me know!

right, that's enough.

btw, those idiots leaving me spam messages...STOP IT.

couple-a things

2008-03-23T10:54:00.002+11:00

I fixed the painting. Nothing some wood glue, pulling up nails, fitting the picture, pushing nails and holding glued wood together for a few minutes and standing it on the broken end to hold the glue...won't fix. Seriously, who needs tools? Well, I use tools, they're just a little alternative.

West Coast won last night and I was so stoked. I'm 3 out of 5 so far. Running work's footy comp this year. Fuuuuuck. Who the fuck would tip Port over Geelong??? I DID. Also Carlton over Richmond. But come on... Port??? Seriously. I was soooo tempted to change it. Who's gonna know?? But I didn't. Last year's comp organiser won the competition and I was so suss of her. I'd never cheat. But what if I did? Oooh... my conscience is going nuts!

I found season 2 of 'Love My Way'. You like how i did the single ' 's? that's work for ya. Anyway, Love My Way is awesome. Told Annette I got it out from the vid store and I was kidnapped to her house for 2 days solid. Except for meal and sleep breaks. Happy Easter. That is a fucking good show though. The characters are so fucked up. Best description I can think of right now.

Went to the Comedy Festival Friday night. Mel's got Jeff Green, Kristen .... someone and Reginald D ...someone else. Was a good free night. Then got in to Hi-FI to see more comedy action. TO be honest, I don't consider myself a comedy person. Sure, I laugh a lot. But I don't much care for comedy movies, Adam Hill and.... well that's it. But it was alright...once I got kicked out for trying to sneak in as a black dude called Jason. OK, I'll tell you about that!! Mel got Jason's pass and said "Take this in. Don't show her the photo". I didn't think to look. The narky chick at the door looks at it, says "Sorry, you're not Jason". Damn. SO i just left. Mel calls back and says "I"ve got Jason on the front, he's the guy that runs it all. Come back we'll get you in!!" So back I go, the chick's like..."Sorry, you need a season pass to get another person in." Jason's like...I work here. Still no good. "Where do you work?" "Backstage. I'm Jason. I'm running the Comedy Festival". Hahhaa. SHe looks again. "Jason? OHH. OK! SOrry bout taht"/ WHat a wench.

Oh and when I got to the city... WHAT THE FUCK?? Can someone enlighten me as to what they're doing to the intersection at fed square/flinders street??? Crazy mother fuckers are digging up my tram tracks!! FUCKIN CRAZY. Made me walk for miles...further.

satay wall

2008-03-16T21:09:00.003+11:00

i've decided to start a new hobby. it's called food art. more specifically, painting walls with sauce. yesterday it was satay sauce. it was delightful and truly beautiful. i could post a picture of it because taking photos of food/art is all the race. but... i haven't had a camera for a while now. so re michelle L's satay pizza that she wasn't able to have for a while due to qld council election or watever it was, i've been making pita pizzas ( i know, delightful, right? well i know belinda thinks so!) and satay beef pizza was def. my greatest creation. so while trying to get the rest of the sauce out of the bottle, i did the flick, right, you know, it was a big flick cuz there wasn't much sauce left and this involved swinging my arm about 2x360 degrees (equals ??) and the lid flew right off and sauce went all over the wall. also splattering across the floor, the carpet and over a picture that my godmother's mother painted. it's of the desert and one of my favourites at my place. so i was absolutely devastated. oh shit i haven't actually checked the ceiling for sauce. guess i'll save that for later. so while cleaning up (i mopped carpet! haha hilarious) i bumped the desert picture and it fell off, broke the frame and also took a huge chunk out of the skirtingboard. damn it. the pic is ok and now satay sauce-less. you know what sucks? 1 - i have no sauce left, 2 - the picture has no frame and i can't hang it on the wall any more and 3 - there's a chunck out of the wall. if it wasn't my place, i wouldn't give a toss. but it is my place...and i do give a toss. sucks.

can someone come and fix my wall?? cheers xx

"I was thiiiis close...!!!"

2008-03-04T20:58:00.002+11:00

..to dying today. How exciting! OK, so apparently that's my trademark comment. (The "how exciting" thing) This morning 430am when I was downstairs in the car park just leaving for work, I heard this massive screech of tyres and a huge smash and was like "wat the fuck!!!" Ran to go up there outside and thought, wait, I should get my keys so I can get back in! Also thinking about dead people and blood and CPR and all that. So ended up driving the car out there for some light and there's the little red sooped-up hatch the wrong way round smashed against the curb, glass everywhere and an expensive 4wd that'd bumped about 10m from where it was parked. 2 guys stuck in the car and are too DRUNK to get out of the car. Luckily they weren't hurt but man for 15 seconds before I get up there, I was freaking the fuck out. The driver finally staggered out of the car, he told me they'd been drinking in the city and he couldnt' remember where they were going. He said they'd be going now. no way. sorry, dude. that car ain't goin' nowhere. you know, i didn't even check the 4wd for anyone in it. just assumed it was empty and parked out the front. i'm pretty sure that was the case because i've definitely seen it before and it was 430am when normal people should be in bed, but still... so by this stage, people are coming outside in their dressing gowns. the other guy's still fumbling around in the car trying to get out. fool. he gets out and basically falls over. so we're just sitting down on the ground trying to chill them out and one goes "you give me lift to hawthorn now?" fuckin A. there's people on the phone, assuming they're calling cops or something. man i had to leave. i'm already late for work! thought i'd call the cops anywayz...turns out no, the cops didn't know about it yet. what, was that old bag that was on the phone just calling her son or something?? ah well... poor dudes in the car. that's one expensive fun time in the city.
so got home from work at lunchtime and this pole out the front is bent down to the ground. what - did this car get airbourne or something?? there's glass everywhere and so that's shitting me cuz they've swept it all off the road onto the driveway. nice :)
anyway, i'm still alive. sorry to disappoint xx

realisation

2008-01-22T16:11:00.000+11:00

So I was just driving home from the my little excursion out and I came to a realisation. Skip to the end if you don't want to be bored.

Had a naturopath appointment today with Ky. I'd been dreading this for 2 weeks. oh fancy that - that's the last time I saw her. I'm so sick of eating eggs for breakfast and I'm sick of meat and sick of lettuce. I'm even sick of "Lisa's crazy omlette". Seems I can't get enough alcohol, namely white wine or vodka. Even the odd beer (not ODD beer as in strange, although i like beez neez and that's kind of odd). Bring on the carbs, along with the seratonin that makes you go up and down. And that's exactly what happened at 3pm. Ky wasn't there. She's gone away on preg. leave. Her replacement, of whom I'd never met before, was there and she was just lovely. She asked how i was and then all of a sudden this flood of... well, tears, basically, came pouring out. Damn it. Fuck fuck fuck. how the fuck did that happen?? I said how I'm so over this. What, since May I've been doing this? feels like forever. Maybe not since may. But ages. I'm sick of the pill popping (all natural, mind you), I'm over the Luteol Plus, the Lipotropene, the Fibroplex Plus and multivitamins and protein shakes (although, they're not too bad. like a milkshake every day - delicious!) Give me a frickin' pizza and a chocolate bar, for fuck's sake. I don't remember the last time I ate takeaway. Seriously. Even in Perth on holidays i got to takeaway was some booze from my friend Bottleo (the). So what kind of takeaway do I get today? It's called Proxan. It's natural. Apparently it will solve all this 'beating myself up' bizzo. Not that I'm slitting my wrists or anything (geez, this is getting morbid), but I'll get over this feeling of stuck-ness and feel better and ready to move on with the whole lettuce-eating thing. Btw, I just finished a half-limp carrot. (half limp because lex came back from holidays and has reclaimed the crisper for his crap and now my vegies, of which i adore (both the vegies and lex - really, he's a great housemate), die a quicker death (not lex of course). Gosh, i'm loving the brackets today, wouldn't you say? Moving on...so after i broke up with the naturopath - i'm giving it a break for a month to take these herbal lifesavers (not literally) and chill the fuck out from lettuce (oh, did i say I planted 20 not long ago??) - i went to the bank to deposit my tax return - yippeeee! - (wow i've gone from brackets to elipses) then I proceeded to the post office to post my cheque to the guy who got me the tax return. nice one morgans. where i see the CSIRO twin pack diet stuff. Yess!!! only $10. wow. heavily reduced. so what did i do? you guessed it - lil' ol' lisa bought it. just for some light reading, you know.

so here it is - after the post office, driving in the car, I had this realisation. (again, read ahead) You know what? it's not just the big "realisation". I'm sure it's a whole lot of things. I haven't been exercising this week. 'Sunrise' kills me - really. like the wrist-slitting thing, but really. Getting up at 4am sucks. getting home at 1235 rules. then I crash. onto the couch. "Come on, Lisa," I say. "Onto that bike." Yeah, right. "Get those sneakers on and outside for some leg moving." Whateva. After doing this shift month on month off for over a year, you'd think I'd be settled into some kind of routine. NO. you know what I'm doing straight after this lengthy novel? I'm going to bed. Till 630pm. then i'll get up, have a shower and going to a fucking PASTA NIGHT. of all things. courtesty of loren, who i love, and then drinks at press club, which I also love, but really, these are my enemies. You know what gets me most?? People that just dont get the whole protein rulz thing. you know, carbs are bad. They've never experienced that kind of eating and it's not fair!!! no, really it is. lucky them. once you start, it just ruins your life forever. gosh, did i say this was morbid? And the other thing...i think i'm just sick of who i am. Not me as in life or work. just stuff. I made changes - the hair, the voicing thing, went on a mini trip away, met new friends, trying to keep busy, et cetera. Life is great. But I'm not. But I feel happy. I'm always with people. I'm just so sick of the lettuce. Basically.

And my big realisation was....I have the PHBs - Post Holiday Blues. Even though it was only for 4 days. They were a great four days!! I love the Central Coast. I love the beach, the water, the sun, the company, the drinking, the chilling, the bbqs, the smoking...just everything! Even the 11hr drive home again. I love it all!! Now i'm back and 1 week later it's hit me. So i think that's it.

Btw, happy new year :)

What about pink shirts on guys - is it still OK? even though they're a bit faded now?

Keeping up with the fashions....how about skinny jeans on guys? You know the ones i mean

And how 'bout skinny jeans on big girls, even though the shop assistant tries to sell them to them and they know they look absolutely shocking...?

Out of all the phone numbers on your mobile phone, how many could you call late on a Friday night?

some questions i'd like to know the answer to

2007-11-02T12:40:00.000+11:00

So long time, no no-no

Just some questions I had while sitting on the train today. One day I'd like to know the answer. Or maybe there isn't an answer. If you know the answer, please feel free to answer.

Why do old men wear their pants up to their nipples...and where are their nipples?

Does the moon cast a shadow?

Why were the days on the Italian calendar where I get my coffee different to the days I learnt in school?

Has anyone ever been injured/eye poked out or just poked from one of those Catholic crosses you wear around your neck?

Why do I always trash my shoes really quickly?

Do people tag in train tunnels even when it's pitch black and no-one will see the tag?

And why are there no tags at the Southern Cross station where there is plenty of pristine tagging room?

Why is there always too much time when I don't need it and not enough when I do?

That's enough for one day. Ciao-ciao

after having not drunk for 5+ weeks, i trashed myself on friday night. much fun. headed off to cookie after convincing zena to join me to kate's goodbye bash. everyone's leaving! man this is crazy. so after all the stressing i did about the night being not so much fun, it turned to be a blast. we got so wasted with champagne etc before z suggested we go to the irish farewell too at panama (shittest hip hop and d n b ever!!) so it was a teary farewell to kate at cookie. not sure when i'll see her again but she's been a fantastic friend to me since i moved to melbourne (despite her crazy life etc and hardly ever seeing her). even though she's been with my cousin for so long and they've been apart for ever, i felt like she was pushed to be my friend, but never has she acted like that in the whole time i've known her. kate, you are an amazing chick and i hope your travels o/s are awesome. can u pick me up some pics from vietnam and other places?? doubt it, but if u happen to find something that would be ace! so... after a little cry at cookie, we headed to panama where apparently i txtd everyone on my phone with some 7/7/07 shit. well hey, it was a special date, right? definitely worthy of a crappy txt message at 3am right? then we headed back to the irish and then eventually back to z's about ... well some time. didn't sleep at all cuz it was sooooo fuckin cold. haven't people heard of heaters round here? no it was a great time and i got free breakfast wooh! luv the haloumi it's delish. and scrambled eggs w/ tomato relish? the bomb! so i didn't sleep for another day despite being so fucking tired. and then sunday sunrise today. that rocked my world.

so i can't wait to do it all again next week. champagne and other alcohol goodness, i've missed you :) never leave me again

a little excited

2007-07-04T20:30:00.000+10:00

playing with the new netball team tomorrow night but the game's not till 9:40 and they're 40min games. i'm kind of looking forward to it but it's a new team and i'm kinda shitting myself cuz i know noone and i don't know how good they are, if they think i'm good or maybe they're really really shit and i'm just wasting my time? eek. well i've committed, and i've even paid my money and yes, about that training thing, apparently 15 mins after i left 4 of them rocked up. how annoying. god damn. so i went for a run/walk yesterday and again today. and went to the naturopath again today (geez, this is turning into one of those "what i did today" blogs - sorry) anyway, i lost 2.7kg in the last 2 weeks, which i'm really surprised at because i've been cheating a little bit, but only a wee wee wee little bit . anyway, i gained 2kg in muscle. woopiee! i guess.
didnt really want any more muscle cuz i'm quite muscular. ky said it's good though. so...yay! that's the news of the day. i'm going now cuz heroes is on. and if i sit here and blog rather than watch it, i won't be watching proply. till next time.

coffee

2007-07-01T20:32:00.001+10:00

and anyone that knows me and works me with may know that i'm this healthy eating ketosis metagenics thing and it starts off like detox. i'd like to say right now that i haven't had alcohol, chocolate, coffee, bread, rice, pasta, potato for 4 weeks now ! go me. in fact, that's alcohol for longer than 4 weeks. now... i found water decafinated coffee!!!! and i had one today. plus a yummy yummy most perfect looking omlette ever. i wanted to take a picture, because that seems to be teh trendy thing to do, but my camera is broke. the end.

wow 3 months

2007-07-01T16:12:00.000+10:00

that's quite a while to not post an entry. may be the longest in history. i should enter the world record books. now... quick while my rage subsedes (sp and hey is that even the right word?? fuck it) im really angry. hey, guess what' it's about/? netball!! im pissed off...again. i'm starting with a new team. and it's official - they even wanna do training! which is great, cuz i'm all for training. but when noone shows up for this "meet and greet" we're sposed to have today at wesley opp belgian beer, and i'm left sitting in the car for 15 minutes waiting for someone to show their ugly head and busting for the loo, i get a little pissed off. fuck i'm so irritated right now. i even have a headache. and it's caused me to blog once more. which i guess is a good thing for me, you know, get those creative juicy writing brain cells happening there, but not so good for any of my pals who may be reading. though i don't think they read any more cuz i don't blog. i think that's a necessity for people to read you have to provide some kind of text. so here it is. i'm now waiting for someone to throw some rotten fruit at me. may be a tasty fermenting orange would be nice. oh right, so i txtd the girl nicole who's got the team together and she never txtd back. well not yet and that was only 5 minutes ago. so i'm still pissed off. and i'm going to spend the rest of the day in front of the tv watching last sunday nights' show cuz i didn't watch it yet. go greys. wooh. in a way i guess i'm thankful for no training today cuz of the unfit biatch i've become. even with a treadmil in my lounge rom. and well those damn pushups kinda hurt.

bruised

2007-03-26T15:38:00.000+10:00

so we all know i'm a little bit of a hypochondriac, but i have something important to share with you........

this is a bruise (not the best picture ever) but a bruise it still is. and it's on my hip and about the size of my hand. MASSIVE. and it hurts like....like as if i jumped a metre off some scaffolding and slipped on a slippery rubber mat and fell through a door on saturday. oh wait - that really happened.

so i've showed about 84 people since saturday arvo and totally grossed everyone out. not sure if that's because i showed them my knickers or the bruise or my hip fat or maybe some stretch marks. oh hey be realistic - what girl hasn't go t t them? yes, they do suck and i guess you can't really see them unless there's a bit bruise on top of them because they still show through. dammit. you know what? i dont give a shit about that because my hip hurts a bunch and i can't wear pants properly and the seat belt hurts and it hurts to sleep and walk.

the good thing about saturday is that tib and i waterproofed my patio.....

and put bamboo on the fence....

and the boys that just moved out gave me their bbq!!!! SO YOU'RE ALL INvited to my place for a barbie.

Lisa's got a MySpace! I've decided to catch up with technology, and apart from the world of blogging, I thought a myspace page might be fun. It's so commercial, I just couldn't resist.

So if you'd like to take a peak, go here - http://www.myspace.com/lisabcool

Maybe you'll be inspired to make your own myspace page, if you haven't already. I really thought I was the last person on earth to do this, until I realised I had no "friends" at this wonderful internet site. So I invite you to join up and become my friend!! I'm begging you....BEGGING!

Luv you all, Lis

chhhhh Fire, over chhhh chhhh roger that chhhh

2007-02-16T12:23:00.000+11:00

Here's a little pic of the fire at Porongurup behind mum and dad's house in WA. like seriously, just behind the house. i think in the most recent post i included before pic. anyway, It's been burning since sunday and burnt out over 5,000ha (which is just about the whole of the national park). The bit that didn't burn out of control were controlled burns but then the sea breeze would come in and the out-of-control stuff would start all over. anyway, it's all over now. 2 houses burnt, no-one got hurt. over 200 firefighters came from over wa to help and 6 water bombers. Fire trucks from as far north as geraldton and east as esperance also came to help. the fire cut two-way radio lines and phone lines so there was no communication over the mountain. they set up a base at mum and dad's house, even though dad wasn't there because they needed his expertise (gosh, he sounds so important!!) to fight the fire. so it was a bit scary for a while. im sure it was even more scary being there, but since i wasn't and stuck over here in melb, i had no idea what was going on. all sorts of ideas racing through my head. i just had to try not to think of the worst thing that could happen. so spoke to mum and dad last night, they've still got random people staying at the house. the party hire/catering business came in handy to feed those hungry 200 firefighters! they were just the paid ones. the other volunteers had to be fed separately (don't ask why...) anyway, party at mum and dad's house this sunday - be there or be square!!! no, i won't be there.

oops i did it again

2007-02-08T22:55:00.000+11:00

totally forgot my password cause its been so long since ive blogged
and decided to do away with any form of punctuation also
okay i was getting a little confused with the lack of punctuation

so i am alive, i'm back in melbourne, have been for about 2 weeks now actually! finally catching up on everything, even dragged my ass to the computer and checked out a few blogs! grooovy

wat up? was doing sunrise for a few weeks, then had holidays for a week at home in good ol' WA, can't beat it!! no, i can't post any pics cuz i didn't take any. lazy lisa. la la la la lazy lisa :)

so wat did i get up to? flew in on the monday night, expected to arrive in a shit hole on morley drive ( my house) and it wasn't bad at all! decided to take up the habit of smoking for the week, well only part of a week because then tuesday morning made the 5hr journey to mum and dads

so that's where mum and dad live, imagine us just to the right of that a little. dad and i are in the process of making a path from the house to castle rock up the top there.

so while i was home, didn't get a up to a whole lot. it's hard with mum because we know we're gonna end up fighting after about 48 hours. so i got home and they were doing NOTHING. how can they expect me to have a good time when i'm doing nothing???? so i mentioned the fact that, you know, was i going to be doing "nothing" for the next 48 hours?? so within 2 hours (that's a baily record) i was already pissing my mum off. so we decided to play scrabble. where she proceded to whip my ass. but let me just say, i'll whip anyone's ass playing boggle. just ask dee and cass - not that we speak anymore, but i'll whip your ass, like i said.

next day i decided mum and i would hang out like mothers and daughters should. so we went to the movies and saw pursuit of happyness, went for a walk on the beach, which i thought would be nice and relaxing, but turns out i started another argument cuz she wouldn't put her feet in the water. then we had a bit of a dinner with the family and the next day i drove back to perth.

so me and the friends cruised to the foreshore with the other thousands of people who decided to also watch the fireworks (not my pic, but i stole it from the net woooh!!!) i dunno... why is it i'm just not that crazy about people that i used to be crazy about? i'm just finding them a little annoying and tedious. i really want to blame it on the cold that dad gave me, but i dont think i can.

umm.... so really the holiday wasn't that amazing to write home about, but it was good enough, and great to catch up with everyone - that's always a good thing. and yes, i'm still thinking about moving back - hell, when aren't i? the best thing was the beach and the sun and the heat. oh it was so nice. different to here. like a different heat. here, whenever its a hot day, it totally makes me piss. i sweat at the drop of a hat. but t here... it creeps into your veins and sinks into your blood and its fantastic. oh, except if you have a cold.

and oh i didn't tell you the worst bit - at eddie's house i came up with the lamest stupidist comment... something about a pool cleaner going *slurp, slirp, slerp* i dont think i need to tell anyone about that. seriously, it's not what you think. ohhhhhh dirty minds all of you. shame, shame, shame. or more likely, shame, shame, shame on me for even bringing the subject up. anyway, let's just say i ruined the moment.

so now i'm back, have been for 2 weeks, did a week of sunrise and now back to nights and doing the soop shift and preping myself to train a new dood next week. yay 4 me.

so i'm going now, till next time..... *slurp, slurp, suck, suck*

crazy chinaman

2006-12-29T14:23:00.000+11:00

okay so the photo on the left is kind of describing what was in my dream - not the whole fire sequence, but the crazy chinaman ghost face.

so i had this crazy dream where there was a clock on the wall and a texta was stuck inside and this invisible thing kept drawing stuff on the clock face with the texta on the inside. i was like "Stop drawing on the clock! Mum don't you see it? don't you see it?" mum saw it too and just ignored it because she was a little freaked out and it had been doing it for years. so i decided i was gonna fix this clock.

so i took the clock off the wall and the clock face, which had turned from glass into some kind of plastic that was moving, like breathing in and out. mum was like "Lisa, don't touch it ! It's a bad clock!" "No," i said. "i'm gonna free whatever's in here. it needs to get out". As i ran my fingers across the clock face, it started to take the shape of a face (maybe more like the one on the left above)

so i went outside with a knife and the clock. by this stage the clock was whispering "free me, free me!" i asked the clock, "I hope you're not an evil ghost. if i let you out of this clock, you have to promise not to take over my body" The clock promised he'd disappear and leave this earth for eternity. i raised the knife and stabbed it down hard on the clock face, letting the spirit free. He rose into the air.... and straight back down again and took over my body and i became the evil chinaman. i was still partly me on the inside, but had horrible grey falling out hair and yucko teeth and was just evil all over.

i went back inside to mum with my hands covering my disfigured face and said, "i'm sorry, mum i just wanted to fix the clock" and then revealed myself. she was pretty horrified, she started screaming "this is what happens when you try and fix things!!!" i was just worried that i might kill mum or someoen because i was evil and had killed millions of people in my past life, so we set about finding an exorcist.

that's when i woke up.

merry xmas!!!!!

some people are wankers

2006-12-14T17:52:00.000+11:00

do i need to say any more??? i dont really want to . i cant be bothered explaining. just that i wish some people would keep their mouth shut, it's just not necessary to shout out whatever's on their mind. i know i do it all the time, and piss everyone off like every single day, but when it happens to me - and by some random person that i don't even know, have never met before, have never even seen before!!!! - i dont like it.

i will leave you now with a photo of something. i'm not sure what yet. its a surprise.....

ohhh now i feel better. i love this photo with salem's ass in turbo's face.

and now i've finished venting about the nasty man. so if i ever see him driving down koornang road in his white stationwagon again, i'll throw fruit at him from the fruit shop and then slit his throat.. oh maybe that last bit was a bit much. but watch out you... you... man. i dont care if you are having wife problems and need to take your frustration out on other people just cuz you're getting none. see ya in hell fruit man.

testing, testing

2006-11-22T21:46:00.001+11:00

This is my very handsome housemate. He is a really cool guy. Haha, what a cool dude!

might i add... (that's i, being i) that i did not create this post and lex is full of it

oh here's a thought

2006-11-20T21:22:00.000+11:00

i'll blame it on the heat for making me crazy! i don't think me and my cats can deal with snow one day and 34 degrees at 8pm the next!! (well... okay a few days later, but close enough!) AGREE??? you better.

oh and i played poker and won two games - go me!!

still doing sunrise for another 2 weeks.

gonna apply for holidays tomorrow for next year. everyone's getting on my case to come home. i realy really wanna go home so much, but i feel that i've totally failed with this whole weight loss thing and i did tell everyone how i was gonna be skinny next time they saw me. well they're gonna get a big fuckin shock aren't they. so that's why i haven't been home in a while. i could send you a pic of a whale to prepare you for waht i look like, but we all know what whales look like and how much fat you can manufacture into substances like.... well like whale fat stuff.

and thats all for now.

here's some badness for ya

2006-11-20T21:10:00.000+11:00

okay so i havent posted in a while and that's because i forgot my password and user name.

oh so the badness. played netball tonight and there's a chick (her name is brooke and i'm not hesitating putting that in here because i dont give a shit who she is and if she reads it. bring it on)
anyway, she's always saying shit like "watch your passes" because sometimes i throw a bit hard and she can't deal. and so after the last few games of dealing with that shitty shit, i really didn't want to do anything about it... but i did. it took a fuckin lot to say something too. i'm a pretty tolerable kinda person, not often going off my nut at people, specially on the netball court. but there's been the occasional kicking balls at people's heads, smashing umpire in head with ball, etc etc. this time it was just a "Look, please stop saying your comments to me (something like that), i can't deal with it anymore, it's putting me off my game (and then some verbal diarrhea sp...) in fact it's getting to me so much that I dont even want to throw you the ball any more! so please stop!!!! " and there may have been more because i felt like i was up on the peddestal for about 30 seconds and i did start off quiet and calm but when i realised everyone on the court, including umpires, had stopped dead to hear what i had to say to brooke, it did turn into a rather fast diarrhea-like substance.... the words i'm talking about, you know.
and that was it.
i mean, come on, it was about time, right? i mean the captain for the last few weeks has been going "settle, settle" and this time i really felt a lot of ppl were on my side. and i was even the bigger person at the end of the game i went and said something to her ( no way i wanted to apologise) but i just explained why i said it, and that i had to say something because i couldn't put up with those comments any more. and then someone else - can't remember why - butted in and said "probably not the best place to do it - on the court" did she want a slap in the face or wat???

anyway, i'm kinda over it (not really, not even close. these kinds of things i'll stew about for about a week or so, tell everyone i know what happened and how i was feeling at the time, how i felt a day later and how i feel now, so look out, okay) i thought perhaps blogging about it might put me at ease for a little while and then i wont have to say anyting to anyone. even though i'll want to. so sorry if i bring it up again. i realy do want to keep going on and on about it but i'm just going to be repeating myself and so that's enough to bore even the most non-bor-est person.

and after all that we won the game 21-12.

2006-10-25T16:09:00.000+10:00

nothing much to report. doing the sunrise shift which starts at 4.30 but finish at 12.30 so heaps of time after work to do stuff. just stuff. nothing much else. i haven't dragged myself to the beach or to the shops or to friends houses or anything. just a lazy bum. but i did start 5000 piece jigsaw! very exciting. its 153x101cm. im' gonna frame it. it's not one of those mystical picture things, well not really. those pictures im not realy into. but this one's kinda nice. like a chick blowing through a shell like a horn and like a whole world comes out. riiiiight :)

i'm a bit slow on the uptake, but congrats to jade and joel on arrival of rufus william king! he's very very cute.

went to drinks last thursday night. pretty quiet but it was nice to be social again ! i'll be back tomorrow night.

netball monday night. we lost (again). i didn't play tuesday cuz still trying to get the ol' ankle back on track! the captain "suggested" last week that i take a week off :) hehe. i must be really shit.

got 2 new tyres on my car. would you believe i got a BOLT stuck in the front right?!?! fuck! not a nail, but a bolt!

mum and dad are in south africa. they went to mauritious (sp) and pretoria and now they're in namibia somewhere on a safari!!

my house is trashed (the perth one). again. long story. so i'll tell it! -
nik went to rehab and so matt stayed in the house. james (niks bro) tried to move on in, he thought he had the right, being her bro. matt wouldn't let him so james trashed the place. matt fixed it. nik got kicked out of rehab along with a whole bunch of others for "starting gangs". five mins back at my house there's a crack pipe on the table. so she left. the counsellors told her to break up with matt. but she coudn't so she spent 3 weeks at ppls houses/in someone's bus. then she finally got matt out of the house, which he decided to trash again. we're talking holes in the walls and doors and broken windows. but hey, that's just normal, right. i can't stand it that good friends (yes, i stick by them) are at a stage in their life where they think its ok to trash my house because everything in it is replaceable. that's just not the point. so matt hooked up with some junkie slut and who knows where he is. and nik met some guy in rehab (pepper - that's his name) and he's staying at my house, but only on weekends, because during the week he's at the rehab place. not the farm, but the one in town. so i just want to go home and maybe burn my house down. well not really, but i do want to/ not really want to go back and check out the place and maybe clean it up. the garden out the back is trashed too. well, its not even a garden anymore. more like a giant sandpit. we're talking the size of a basketball court. the real estate keep doing inspections (like once every six months) and all they say is that the house is fine. bullshit. totally full of shit. fine my ass. (which is pretty fine, by the way lol)

okay well time to go. a big hello to my friends that don't suck! (you know who you are!!!!!!! well, if you don't know who you are..... umm.... you can ask me and i'll let you know)

luv lis

WEAK

2006-10-09T23:00:00.000+10:00

that's all i have to say. but first here's a quick haiku for the day ---

i sprained my ankle
pain is just a metaphor
fucking cocksucker

that just about says it all.... oh alright i'll doing a post. so back to the title - read on

WEAK! (my ankle) ive twisted it again. so much fun. so now i have two ankles in one. and after not blogging for a while i've forgotten how to. so its going to be much cursing and boringness about my stupid ankle. i even had a cry while i lay on the couch in pain because i coudln't walk to find the panadol or the phone or some water or anything really, or the antiinflamitories the doc gave me last time. and she told me to stop playing netball because its so bad for your ankles. but i didn't listen. i love netball! i'd hate not to be playing. so... i didn't listen and played (and mind you, i was playing extremely well!!) and then crrrrrrrrrrunch - there goes teh ankle. i thought i was going to vomit it hurt so much and i was in and out of consciousness. isn't this wonderful, everyone? so as i lay my sorry ass on the park bench on the side of the netball court, all i could think of is "Is my future netball "career"?? no we can't call it career..... my future netball .... future! in doubt??" i fucking hope not. so i drove home in pain and some stupid car decided to go and then suddenly stop on an orange light that's (GO and THEN stop - who gives her teh right to change your mind????) and i nearly had an accident. my excuse had i had an accident and smashed into the dumb bitchs car was "i'm in much pain, sprained ankle... can't stop... fuck you you dumb bitch" then i proceeded my sorry ass... or that should be my sorry ankle.... to the supermarket to buy some frozen peas. the pleasant surprise i got when i arrived home (after lugging my swollen-ness up the stairs to my front door) was my bokashi bin had arrived !! yay, doing my bit for the environment and my garden! for those who know not of this bokashi, it's a compost/fermenting bin for inside and will make superduper compost stuff. and it came with a masher! yippee i love mashing! in fact i love mashed potatoes, too. so if you'd like some bokashi juice for your garden, let me know! nice

for a second there, i'd forgotten about the ankle. or just got used to the cold thing on my foot. im not even sure how i'm getting to work tomorrow. let alone play another game of netball tomrorow night. and finals are comign up too. we're so in the grand final!

oooh one not so bad thing i can add is the other weekend my team won the footy go west coast. and even though you can really sense my excitement, i'm not going to rub it in. because i know noone else really likes the eagles. and its not a vic team, so why should they? but i really am very happy. i love the eagles. and noone cares. okay.

oh and i cooked dinner for belinda which i was very excited about. but even more exciting.... lex cleaned up! he even moped the floor. belinda was very impressed (if you weren't, you should be hehe) i hardly noticed after however many wines i had by then. oh - we dont mop very often.

aaaaand i bought a fish. his name's jaffa. i also fixed the vacuum cleaner. and then vacuumed. i've planted some seeds which are sprouting and transplating them. and went to the movies with mel. back on sunrise next week. missed 20 mins of greys anatomy tonight cuz i set the dvd wrong. and left the beers at work in the fridge. missed salon again because of the late shift - will i ever go again?? and that's a rundown of everything else besides my soreness - the ankle (incase you forgot) . and i'm going to stop before my post gets all the more boring

with that, goodnight. as i wallow in sorrow and think of the most sprained-ankle-friendly way of getting to work tomorrow

oh right

2006-09-17T23:55:00.000+10:00

oh right, i forgot about the blog .... no i'm just boring. by the way, that weather chick thing is a bit crap but seriously, its to tell me wat the weather's doing, you know. oh i wish i was that hot. yeah. wooh. soooooo... right.... anyway. i'm a bit boring right now dont know wat to say. apparently though its good to just put thoughts on screen, whatever you're thinking right now. i'm thinking how boring i am. and oh i'm going to go on a contiki tour with kat. but apparently it's just a bunch of chicks out to get a root. and hardly any guys. and well that's not a prob for kat cuz she's incredibly hot, but waht about me? i really dont wanna be taht chick left in the corner. well i wont' go any further, but i really want to have a fun time and so i'll just have to keep thinking about it i think.
so 'bootmen' is on right now. oh so manly tapdancing at a steelworks factory. good old aussie movie, but adam garcia is kinda cute :p
wat else.... beth broke up with her boyf and she's all depressed. maybe it's made me a little depressed. so i saw a psychic a few months back and she told me i'm really sensitive, like to how everyone feels. and i already know that i guess. so to hear beth's depression talk made me super sad. work tomorrow, day off. but i get overtime so that's all good. but thinking of the eagles winning makes me feel better! although it's kinda sour i guess cuz i really like the bulldogs, i've been tipping them all year, but i feel like every time i tipped them they lost!!! how did they ever get into the finals??? i wish i could go home right now. it would be excellent. but i'm glad i was here this weekend. went to an awesome party friday night was a ton of fun. kate's bro angus' bday and heaps of ppl i'd met through kate that i never see. normally i feel like they're jsut being nice, but this time felt really good to be there! and rich (cuz) was there too, came back from perth for a bit and going up to qld for work or someting. so kate was stoked. haven't seen him in a while. they did a bench press comp at the height of drunkenness and apparently rich is the reigning champ! go cuz! apparently hav to press like 35 of something.... i dunno how much they were lifting. there was a 10 at least and 2 others on each side. and the most anyone did was 11 i think. i hate bench pressing cuz the bar goes all wobbly above me and i can't hold it straight, even if its' not heavy. i'm a little unco sometimes. so the rest of the party was good, even being groped all night by chucky, but that was just funny because he was so fucking drunk and kept asking me to go out the back to root behind the shed. nice. so many propositions to turn down, so little time :) if only tapdancing adam garcia propositioned me. ah-ha!

god, how boring am i???? oh on saturday went to work, couldn't fuckin get in cuz i had no key. so i buzzed the intercom and some chick from the first level answered. she woudln't let me in. i nkow i'm a bit dodgy and all, but for fuck sake, i hav a key to my level, not the building. fuck. so had no phone, no money, severely hung over and seedy as a mofo. had to find a phone so found the tanning salon open, this blonde bimbo slut chick there ( shouldn't say that, she was lovely and thought i was a weirdo) and managed to get her to use the phone to call directory assistance to find ACC's phone number, but it's not listed apparently. so i fuckin sat there going "what to do???" brainwave - call 7!!! the blonde bimbo slut chick sits there goes... "um.... what number? you need a number..." i'm like "umm... no. just call switchboard and ask for captions" she looked at me like i had an alien coming out my left nostril. so i took teh phone from her, got someone at 7 and they put me straight through, got rob and he rescued me from downstairs! lucky he was even there because he shouldn't have been. offline should ahve been there but some chick just decided not to turn up. so.... results - i need a key and i need the alarm code, because apparently i don't have one. so even if i did have a key, i would still set the alarm off. yay. i love alarms. lex broke our fire alarm... so that doesn't even work.

right. so its' sunday, and that means ramble day. but i've rambled enough; god knows its even babble.... no what's even more better than that/?? WAFFLING!! i love waffles. mm. waffles.

my team lost :(

2006-09-09T23:12:00.000+10:00

im miserable... the eagles lost. i'm absolutely devastated. after a fantastic week at work (can you read the sarcasm in that sentence? if you can't, then... do it) it just put the biggest downer on everything. they lost by 1 point to sydney. fucking sydney. i hate them so much. almost as much as collingwood. i'm not sure why i hate collingwood so much. actually i should probly hate sydney cuz they won the grand final last year against the eagles. okay. so i hate sydney more. but the only reason i hate sydney more is cuz of barry hall... and the whole GF thing. okay. anyway, it was an excellent game at subi, but they lost. its all down to collingwood and bulldogs now. fucking collingwood i hate them. but i guess one good thing is that there's 2 games next week in perth! wish i was there. i did see a bunch of friends on tv though at the game! one of the boys was trying to use his phone and you could see him mouth "it's not fucking working"!! made me laugh.

so everyone's been asking how i was after monday night's extra-violent rant. yeh, i'm fine! a few deaths in the news made everything that much more exciting. sad, but exciting. oh, and some more extra-violent ranting happened on thursday night at gin palace! i had such a great moment - thanks to caitlin and susan and juan pablo's mate - i think his name was oh.... dick face. that'll do. he rudely interrupted juan pablo's wonderful-ness (we could listen to him talk all day... even if it was just reading a shopping list - hey, caitlin!) anyway, dick face rudely interrupts and says "so, you girls are in the film industry, hey?" now since when did we mention that? i have no idea. anyway, we all look at each other... and "yeeeeesssss, we are in the film industry (now)!" giggle, giggle, giggle! then he decides to hurl abuse at us for the next 5+ minutes... causing me to snap. now those who know me know this doesn't happen,... like ever! (except monday, but that wasn't verbal, just written) so anyway, i snapped - hurling abuse right now and politely asking him to leave aurally like... "you, fuck off - fuck off now. get out of my face, fuck off. leave.... blah blah blah" something like that. it was actualy fun! i should do this more often. just randomly say things to people that they find offensive, or watev, and then abuse them. no wonder there's so many crazy ppl in the world. maybe i'm one of them! yaa-haaaaa! tee hee hee. anyway, then we went to HJs.

okay, so everything's back to normal, cya mondeee.

..bad, but not THAT bad!

2006-09-04T23:30:00.000+10:00

okay, maybe i should rephrase that - "i was expecting my return to night shift to be bad... but not THAT bad!!" fuck me it was awful. i hate my job. i hate everything and i'm very fucking negative tonight so you can all just get the fuck out of my life. i'm starting over and you'll never see me again. the captioning world is a better place without me, let me assure you - especially after today.

i could go on and on, but what would be the point? noone really cares, anyway, do they? after all, everyone goes through this, right? they've either gone through it before, or i tel you what - if IT hasn't, watch the fuck out cuz IT is sneaking up behind you right now and IT is gonna king hit you - end of story. fuck IT. IT can get fucked. fuuuuuuuuuuck.

now i'm not the kind of person that stresses - ask anyone, i'm the most stress free person on earth. seriously. (10).. ahhh ha.. not funny. anyway, i dont stress. and i tell you what, the peeps at work saw a different side of me today. i dont know exactly what they think of me now, but i'm sure its not good. to anyone who witnesses, i'd like to apologise.... but i'm not going to. so i guess i woudln't like to apologise. i promise it won't happen again. well maybe. well fuck it i can assure you its going to happen again tomorrow. so ML when u return to work, kick my ass into line, will you? and never, ever, ever have another day off... so long as i'm there. oh and i guess it didn't help that steve irwin got stabbed by a stingray. man, it was pretty fucking awful. poor guy. wat about his kids? theyre so cute. did u know his daughter bindi has her own tv show? cool. anyway... that made everything so much worse. well actually i dont even think it was that. i just think it was because i've become so settled at work with LC on Sunrise that the way it works at nights is so fucking confusing to me that i really can't deal. so i was yelling all over the place. even offline went quiet. noisy fuckers. and this fuck-off banging on the table shits me to tears. fuck off with the bang. specially when its jsut the perth shift. why the fuck can't you hear me? what the fuck is wrong with you????? i'm dying for a "word" from someone. pleeeeze. and how the fuck do you expect me to check a tt story while i'm doing my updates which are going live and have a live x in them and i have no steno ??? excuse me, sorry for doing a shitty job. oh, and dont even talk to me about the spell check. LC, i did my best, but you'l find a few doozies tomorrow, trust me! its like someone is doing it deliberately jsut to fuck me off. so thats why i'm so fucked off right now.

so i finished at 9.30, walked my sorry ass home by 10.50pm and then made a bunch of pancakes and then i ate them. now i feel sick. and i'm ranting. maybe i feel sick because i've ranted so much. Or its the pancakes. who cares.

get fucked.

pt

2006-09-03T19:10:00.000+10:00

okay so i wasn't just chatting up the metlink guy... honest.

no but right now i have to say i'm shitting myself a little about catching public transport in melbourne tomorrow afternoon, and forever and a day. i dont' really know where to go. i just rang them (them being metlink) to find out what the cheapest ticket would be, like a weekly thing because you know... dont wanna get ripped off right. so yeh... he's all like "if you get scared or confused or watever, don't hesitate to put us on your mobile and give us a call. also, there's panic buttons all over the train....." watever!!! can't be worse than perth, right? of course, i'm wasting my breath/finger typing speed talking/typing about pt in perth because unless you've ever lived there for a while (i'm not talking visiting or just tourist or watever) actually lived there - you just wouldn't understand. (man i hate it when someone says taht to me "you just wouldn't understand.." fuck off.

anyway, i'm not really stressed. although my mum is a bit. she's experienced perth pt not first hand, but through me and i think she thinks its the same. but honestly its not. apparently. i hope. i really really hope. so the plan is i'm walking to the train station near my house, ride to the city, then tram out to work. then go home at night in reverse. sounds simple. and at some stage work out which ticket - the daily or the weekly or the weekly daily or the daily weekly daily or the weeekly weekly saver daily cheaper ticket waily deekly.... arrrrr. (pirate talk) - that i will need to buy!!

man public transport rocks

oh... do i take an umbrella? i dont wanna get rained on. i've got a pretty little pink one i was given when i moved here. maybe i'll use that. yay. pink :)

now i'd like to say more but i can't be bothered/slightly hungover etc. over and out.

frustrated

2006-09-02T11:26:00.000+10:00

i totally give up. i've been trying for ages to put other peeps blogs in there in the links bit in the template and it's just not working. so i give up.

(btw, if anyone knows of foolproof way to do this, plz let me know) luv lis

alright.. back again

now i'm editing this post because i've blogged and there's a couple of links! but alas..... they still don't work :(

bye again

okay final edit - my geeky housemate lex woke up from his drunkenness and fixed it for me. sorted. oh... and "someone" called in sick today at work and i got a txt from the boss asking if i wanted to work... not today, sorry!!! hope you okay M!

back again, again..... in regard to that last bit of the post, lex isn't really a geek. i'm just jealous because he knows more about computers than i do. he's really very, very cool.... in fact right now he's rhyming at the top of his lungs and the neighbours love it.

luv lis

i'm drowning in the shower...

2006-08-30T17:17:00.000+10:00

..or so my cat salem thinks so! he goes nuts trying to break the door down as i dry my ass. so i open the door to let him in so we can hang and all he wants to do is remind me that his stomach is empty of the $50 bag of cat food sitting in the cupboard. trust him. meanwhile, turbo is practicing his commando rolls on the other side of the room. the boys love my new sub (big-ass beanbag) and roll and jump all over it. they're like kids! i can't wait to have kids... kinda (leeks and potatoes haha) - sorry, that was to do with someone else's post - so kinda being the..... word. no, i'm not saying"word", i'm just saying "kinda" is the right word for that... wateva.

so last night's post was all about how frustrating netball was again and then my comp fucked up. being a laptop, i accidentlaly brush some button with my hand and delete it goes

so the rant was all about how shit i am at netball. we won the first game of mixed a grade and won seriously 4-47. that was a nice feeling to kick someone's ass to the floor like that. but then had another game an hour after that, damn i hate waiting, and we lost a-grade womens something like 29-33. it was all my fault. no more needs to be said.

and that being the end of the post. by teh way, i think i totally lost sleep because of that, and so getting up at 4:00 was no fun because i was still awake at 2:30. btw, i don't post at 4am, that's just wat the time says on my comp, not sure why, can't be bothered changing it - hell, it got someone's attention didn't it!

after reading jade's exciting post (go jade) i'm not going to write a poem, but a haiku. first line being 5 sylabolls, second being 7, and 3rd being 5 again. here goes

i suck at netball
by golly i suck so much
how much do i suck?

end

did you count it on your fingers? i did. just to make sure

outy

i hate my computer

2006-08-29T21:39:00.000+10:00

end of story... i just wrote a post and then pressed something and it disappeared. i hate my computer.

netball f***ers

2006-08-22T21:02:00.000+10:00

so had mixed netball tonight. won by 4 points - 26-30. was an awesome game played WA and then WD. and in the last five i couldn't run much cuz my ankle started hurting. filling you in... i decided to take up the sport of couch-jumping about a month ago. it only lasted one jump. and i was drunk. and wearing baggy trackies - bad combo. anyway.... it still hurts. i'm going to the doctor tomorrow. this chick at netball said my muscle could have tightened and might need to be drained if it has fluid. eww. no needles are coming near me. but maybe i should go anwayz. anyway... my couch has peacocks on it. its really pretty. hey not that i'm really into beastiality or anthing (okay so that's a def) i wonder if peacocks have pea-cocks. hehe. right.

so back to the netball.... man it was so tough and being mixed, the guys play like basketball. not so much our team because we have excellent shooters, but the other team the guys shoot like basketball and try these stupid backhand shots and loops and little passes that really shit me. but we still won. makes me feel good! but i haven't really played for these guys for a while and so there was a bit of a trust thing there. i'm one of those people that tries to get out in front you know, so they can see me and maybe throw the ball at me if they feel like. but you know... me just standing there obviously wasn't good enough . not saying i'm perfect, in fact far from it. but i mean... i'm there right! sounds like i'm pretty perfect doesn't it? well i'm not... because i mean i guess the fact that at one stage i threw the ball to this chick that left that spot like 3 seconds prior and ball changed hands. gooood one hey.

sorry al sounds a bit confusing. but its beter playing with these guys (A grade!) than playing with that other team that... well i'll try and explain - they can't catch the ball, they can't throw. they can't shoot. they can't do much at all. that was until last week when i got a pleasant surprise when we flogged the other team. people could shoot, catch and the lot! wow we clicked. and everyone was flabbergasted. but stilll... i think humans are worse than mice. even mice get it right - i mean how many times do we have to do something wrong to realise its wrong??? like lobbing the ball over someone that can just jump up and catch it???? dicks.

back to my peacock couch... to watch tv. oh hey i better get dressed too!! had to rant as soon as i had a shower and now i'm getting cold.

btw... its tongue-a-lingus tuesday.... (not a word, i know, i know) now known as that because a colleague of mine who shall remain nameless decided to perform fellacio on the talkback mike today. so its foreplay to humpday wednesday... hahaaaa wonder wat thursday brings us?

gone

six.... good enough? not quite

2006-08-22T16:35:00.000+10:00

i'd just like to say how proud of myself i am right now. i got six on my footy tips on the weekend!!! although i'm really really behind but you know, six is six! i'm right up there with the best of the best... well you know 6 was the best! so katrina.. look out i'm gonna get you!!! (well... chance are probly not)

and on not another note - how hard is this weekends tips???? eeeeek!! way too hard. damn it. well maybe it's just me finding it hard. i dont know. all i know is gooooo eagles! wooh.

anyway, finally getting a chance to listen to christina's new album. its wonderful..

peace

fun-ness

2006-08-21T15:53:00.000+10:00

feeling: not the greatest
a little tired
better than yesterday
pretty bored
happy to chill for a sec...
but somehow wanting more!!

ahhh that's out of me now. as you can see... my brain isn't really functioning well enough to think of any big words. but then again, when does it? you can probly tell i use mono-syllabol (sp) words. i think because from a young age i had a dictionary forced into my face everytime i questioned a word, and seeing as my mother is a walking encyclopedia/macquarie/scrabble board (man you should see her now when i beat her at scrabble and boggle!!!!) that was pretty often. "what does that mean?" i'd ask. "get the dictionary.... look it up. what does it mean? tell me" me: "blah blah blah..." mum: - "spell it for me" me: "ABCDEFG-fucking fragelistic expaledicious" sounds good enough. therefore.... my brain evacuates any big words immediately! why do i have to retain them? no reason. when i can fit in much more important stuff. like friends birthdays and netball at 7.40 tomorrow night.. you know random-ness like that. anyway, who needs big words when i copy words for a living. since when do i have to ever think for myself? not often!

oh so anyhow... my birthday onto that shall we? went to belgian beer cafe for a quiet drink early on, then onto dragonboat for yumcha- which wasn't really yumcha, but it was still pretty good! ummmm then onto cookie. drank way too much. was lorenzo's bday too but he left. and so mel and i headed up to pony where a few minus-party boy peeps were stil there. drank way too much... lost way too much money, probly made a big fool of myself... and lost a present. and i'm trying to contact them but really as if they'd be there 330pm monday arvo. noooo.

(oh hewy, those steaks are so underdone... mooooo)

anywayz, left there at like 730, hung out on the sidewalk for halfa, then home at 8ish. was a blob for the entire day. i haven't felt that bad in such a long time. just imagine - this used to be a weekly occurrence! but no longer. which is probly a good ting.

anyway,,, quick shout-out to everyone who was there. thanks for an awesome night !!!! oh if anyone seen my grey bangle , tha'ts mine. and i got some other bangle.... who knows where that came from. mabye did a swap? ? go figure..

out

on a musical note....

2006-08-12T17:00:00.000+10:00

i'm devulging a secret right now - i wish i was a rock star!!! or just a singer really. i do luv to sing. but i won't sing in front of anybody. kind of. does the car count? or the shower. i guess i sing in the car when other people are there but i dont belt it out like i normally would!! how bout plugging in my hands-free and sticking that in my ear and singing at the same time (just so people driving other cars will think i'm talking on the phone ) ha - done that! except it doesn't work too well when i start dancing around in the car. can it be done? yes.

so the secret's out .

i got the brokedown palace soundtrack. it's beautiful, especially plumb's damaged. in fact, as the rest of the soundtrack plays, it gets better! just some nice acoustic versions of songs. really nice. right now plays 'even when i'm sleeping'.

but things like 'idol' well i just couldn't see myself doing that. because sometimes i'll be singing something and i'll go "geez that wasn't very good!! imagine if other people had to hear that??" that goes through my mind . so maybe i'm overestimating myself.... maybe underestimating!!! that woudl be a pleasant surprise.

right now a song called 'brokedown palace plays' dont know who sings that one but its awesome!!! why didn't i listen to this sooner? very nice. kind of chicky though! probly not one for the guys. i dunno. i dont' have a penis.

now is sarah brightman deliver me i guess i'm in the mood. this music i dont really listen to much. but its nice.

oh ...

i was gonna write something there! but my phone just rang i'm going for walk at the beach with kate. catcha later.

baaaa im a sheep

2006-08-08T17:48:00.000+10:00

okay so everyone's been raving about this blog stuff so i thought i'd give it a go. hence the title.

and spelling and punctuation aside.... what is this "spelling" and "punctuation" ? get the picture? good.

there's too much of it at work. and why should i succumb to the pressure when i'm not there? precisely!! i will endeavour to make as many spelling mistakes as possible . hahahaaaaaaaaaa
and a pirate argh there too. ready? arrrrrrgh!

okay so since the big D-day (redundancy) not much has been going on. i've continued working at the new place, starting at 43oam - nice - so i'm just a tad snoozy

i have bought the following things (that i can think of right now!!!!)

- alarm clock/radio to wake me up much nicer in the morning that a beeeeeeeeeep beeeeeep

- clothes for the work party (of which i now detest, have no idea why i bought them. fine, the red dress looks lovely on the hangar but not on me (was that an aeroplane hangar?? haha) including a metal silver belt (okay i'll hav to post a picture of this else you won't get it )

- a sub! (noone really knows wat this is. it's a huuuuge beanbag. like an oblong shape filled with 500 litres of beanbag beans . and it is massive. and can go outside. so i can lie in sun (can't wait to get it in the post)

- and today's most important purchase - a new mobile phone yay me!! well okay actually it was free (even more go me!!!) its a samsung and it's flat and it's white. very clean. in fact when selecting some option for the tones, it says either "pure", "clean" or "fun". not so cool. so i've chosen a ring tone that says hip hop. though it's not so much. my housemate is a hip hop freak so i can't wait for him to pull the piss out of it. pardon me.

and that is the purchases i can remember . oh except for the piece of gluten free chocolate jafa cake that i just ate yummm. now i do feel a little sick, tho.

so this being my first post ever i hope i have bored many many people to their desired death. yes, it's something one can desire.

oh one last thing - its my birthday this weekend . okay not till monday but i want to have a party. everyone seems to be going up to the snow this weekend. so doesn't seem like much of a party at this stage (this sucks and is quite depressing) . anyway. a party with noone is better than no party at all!!! hell... i can have it at that new place on dandenong road... i think its' called "lisa's place" ah-ha!!! got ya.

till next time...

lis
