guilty as charged.



leather jacket bitch :P

Questacon today. In the morning the kids got to choose which staff member they wanted to go with, mim and i were the popular choices. battles over who would get to go with us ensued. Got a lovely warm welcome when I arrived today too, nice yells of "yay jackis here!" hugs etc Love kids.

At questacon we wandered around, seeing all, doing all, I even went on the giant drop! i was so scared i could barely walk up the stairs, but i didn't want to look like a baby in front of gilly (the six year old girl who went before me) so i shut my eyes and did it. It was way fun.

For lunch today I had pasta with chicken and pesto :D soooo f-ing good. Now I am going to attempt to do some homework and strut around in my outfit for tonight. drunk much? It's party time.

the flying trapeze.
















Had the best day at work today.
For the we had one of those games where you dress someone up in newspaper and fashion clothes for them out of newspaper and tape, Katie and I decided to make an outfit ourselves as something to do. I was the model, and we decided I'd be the queen of hearts. Basically we got really competitive, started heckling the older kids etc etc

7 year old boy: could you please help us?
Me and katie: we're not here to help, we're here to win!

We decided that of course we wouldn't be part of the competition, but then our desire for victory over took us and I strutted down the cat walk like a pro. We won.

Us: 1 Children: 0

I took these photo to try and show the glitter hairspray I've got all through my hair, but it didn't work. Questacon tomorrow. Then going out! Yay :)

It's gonna be a night to remember.


Work this week has got off to a good start, as yesterday I had the morning shift and morning shifts means excusrsions! We went to the national film and sound archive, and watched old episodes of playschool and other cool things. Fun way to spend the morning and get paid. Alas this afternoon I am working the afternoon shift, but then tomorrow I have the morning shift again and that means questacon!

Here relates a conversation I had with one of the little girls, Merran:


Merran: Did you know my auntie's dead?

Me: oh, that's very sad.

Merran: I get her cats though, her two cats.

Me: Well that's very nice of you to look after her cats.

Merran: They're not real cats.

Me: Oh.


The weather is rainy and overcast and is fabulous from my vantage point of my bed, but makes work incredibly difficult. I have to do some cleaning today too. Lame.

Donald.


Drawn by Yuri and Tam circa 2007.

I'm in miami bitch.

So at the moment, as far as emotions go, I am in a very weird place. I am sad, but not even sad, I think about Yuri pretty much all the time, it is always in the back of my mind. I think I don't even know how to feel in this situation. It's also hard because I feel like I can't talk about it with most people. Elk and Rowan have very little empathy for the situation because they seem to feel like I should have just moved on already. And Elk is very judgemental about Yuri and I and our relationship which makes it hard to talk to her at all. It really pisses me off because she just acts very superior and the tone is pretty much "get over it already" which is unfair, because when she has had her (numerous) problems with alex I never got on my judgement cap, or threw things she said about the relationship in the heat of the moment back in her face. Especially when the things she's said are much more damning.
I feel very lost without him at the moment, Ironic in that him feeling lost in his life is one of the reasons we are not together.
It is just sort of this constant cloud of melancholia is always over me, every time I lapse into silence I start thinking about him again. It's really hard at the moment, because I just don't know what to do, or what I'm supposed to do, Or what's supposed to happen.
Sorry for bitching, I'm just going to go to sleep, and hopefully in the morning I'll feel better.

Maybe read the post below, that's happy.

can't back out, can't back out.

I did buy a leather jacket. and god it was the greatest decision of my life!
Friday I hung out with elk, we pottered around the house, eating nice breads, watching high school musical three and bopping around to high school musical songs. We went shopping looking for something hot to wear on saturday night, and we both bought spur of the moment leather jackets! The asian girl who was working at the shop though we were sisters lol. When we got home we put on sex and the city and I painted my nails and strutted around in various leather jacket outfit combinations while elk wallowed in my bed playing mahjong. We try and figure out something to do for the night as it is the long weekend and we want to make the most of it. And also because we want to give our new jackets an outing. Just when we have conceded defeat, and are looking forward to settling in, watching the other two high school musicals, Charlotte messages us wanting to hang. Yay! Charlotte is our high school friend who is in wagga doing vet so this was very exciting. We decide on uni pub, as it is raining, and fridays nights are apparently lame if you are trying to go clubbing. Basically it was me elk talz and charlotte, a nice little high school reunion, with cameos from Farlow, Claire, Rowan and Tam. We hung out at uni pub, marvelling at the weird friday night crowd, and how old they all were. Then we moved onto kingos. Nice relaxed night, lots of boys checked us out, felt v. hot :P Elk and I got back to hers at about one am, we were just sitting on her bed, chatting, winding down from her night and eating maccas, when what follows is a classic raina story.

At about 1:30am the doorbell starts being rung frantically and elk answers it, it is raina (elks sister who normally lives with their mum) saying that her friend rachel and these two random guys who apparently know rachel are going to stay over. What ensues is elk and I turning violently against this rachel whore, Elk looking out the boys and threatening to call the cops if they come in the house, drunken raina saying it's not her fault they have to stay, even though she doesn't want them too, because she didn't have enough spine to say no. I sat on the bed cackling and enjoying rainas latest escapades. Eventually everyone comes inside, they go upstairs and then I lie in bed for a while listening to elk bang about in the kitchen tryin gto piss them off.

Saturday morning we wake up and go buy ourselves some croissants for breakfast. We saunted back to my house, making a detour to woden so i could get some new drugs, as I could feel a migraine coming on and did NOT want to be struck down in pain for the rest of the day. We lay around in bed, listening to high school musical. I had a bit of a nap to ward off my migraine, while elk played chess and mahjong, then she had a nap and I read for a bit. We are such an old married couple. Mel came over after work and the three of us cooked a fantastic pasta (how about that cheese? that's some skill with the grater) ate our fill then headed out (on the leather jackets second outing) to isaacs.

It was pretty much me elk adi and mel and donald, isaac, pat and paul, as well as some other boys who don't really feature in my mind. We had a nice laidback night, playing pool hanging out. Totally forgot about the changing relationships that the other girls (adi and mel) have with these boys, as my relationship with them (mostly distant) has not changed over time. All the girls were a bit tired and apparently a bit too competitive to verse each other in pool, but when our forces were united under one banner we were unstoppable. We headed home pretty early (eleven) and were in bed by twelve.

Upcoming things today? Have to try and do my assignments: fail. Finish my cleaning, do some washing, and then tonight mum and i are going to see swan lake! i think it's the russian ballet. Pretty excited, then maybe hitting up rnb heat at acads with melon :)

Wish uni was over. Sapping my soul.

Do you wanna?

No leather jacket. Alas. But maybe it's a good thing. Instead i can invest in cute dresses for the summer.
Hung out with brit :)
On the plus, my hair turned out fabulous :P I will take a picture but I'm not sure if you can see it. I have to go to drama tonight. Gay. But sexy director will be there. Awesome. Wish me luck! Also, dig my new red lipstick? sexy no? even though I am a retard at webcam photos.
