Soon...........Soon...........
I will be in Sydney soon!!!!!!!!! Sunday morning!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!
If you can't all tell by now, I'm rather excited. I think I started getting very excited last night when it hit me that I will be spending all of next week in the Big Smoke!! Hurrah!!!
I will also be graduating at long last on Tuesday the 27th!!! I'm going to chuck my hat up in the air and I don't care if it falls on the ground and gets muddy................I'll do it anyway and then steal someone else's hat and give them my cruddy one!! Hehe. I am also looking foward to going to Canberra and tiptoeing through the tulips at Floriade. Hopefully Kasun will pick me some flowers and present them to me...............(this is a hint for you Kasun, if you are reading this!!).
Hmmm..........what else. I am going to be busy tomorrow so that's good, time will fly. I will be going to Sashani's birthday party tomorrow (an all you can eat seafood restaraunt..........they better have other stuff). I will be walking in our cancer Relay For Life tonight and perhaps tomorrow morning, so I will be a bit tired and will sleep on the plane.
I ALSO NEED TO PACK!!! Still haven't done that yet.
I have a joke for you, it's pretty pathetic/funny so I hope you enjoy it!!!
Q. What do you call an adolescent rabbit??
A. A pubic hare.
Hehe, that's courtesy of my cousin in Perth (Tammi). Her sense of humour is worse than mine.
Take care and I'll see my buddies in Sydney soon!!!
Jack Handy Thought For The Day: If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
Just Call It Disorganisation........
Well, I'm sure you are all aware of the fact that I'll soon be heading off to Sydney. How soon is a rather ambiguous fact..........see, I was certain that I would be arriving on Monday the 26th Sept in the morning. However, last night as I was finalising the bookings of accommodation around various sites in Sydney, I decided to have a look once more at my e-ticket.
It clearly read: Departing Darwin Sunday 25th Sept 1:30 am. Arriving Sydney Sunday 25th Sept 6:05 am.
Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, infact, I'm leaving on Saturday night, not Sunday night, and I'm arriving in Sydney a whole day earlier than what I've been telling every body!!! Oh well, at least I'll get to see certain people sooner!! Yay!!
However, my Dad was like, 'what are we going to do about the accommodation??' So I rang up the Travelodge and booked in an extra day without drama.
However, my Mum was quick to point out that this was the second time I'd stuffed up the booking of tickets/accommodation. The first time was when I made a booking for them to come to Sydney last year and got confused about what day they wanted to arrive and booked it too early.............. I swear this whole red eye flight thing has kept me on my toes. Me being the good daughter that I am said 'yeah yeah, it's all my fault' and promptly went to bed.
I mean, how come it seems as if I'm the only organising this trip?? They are going along with me.............couldn't they do some ringing around instead of getting annoyed at me for getting the bookings wrong!!!! My Dad acknowledged this.............which I was happy about.
I'm starting to get excited about going now, only 9 days to go (instead of the original 10..........).
See you guys really soon!!!! Have a great day!!
Jack Handy Thought For The Day: If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.
50 Ways To Freak Out Your Roommate
Hey Guys,
I know I'm kinda plagiarising here, but I thought I would share with you one of my all time favourite lists.
Enjoy..........
50 Ways To Freak Out Your Roommate:1. Insist that you are a vegetarian and protest anytime your roommate eats meat.

2. Get some hair. Disperse it around your roommate's head while he/she is asleep. Keep a pair of scissors by your bed. Snicker at your roommate every morning.
3. Every time your roommate walks in yell, "Hooray! You're back!" as loud as you can and dance around the room for five minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying,"Shouldn't you be going somewhere?"
4. Trash the room when your roommate's not around. Then leave and wait for your roommate to come back. When he/she does, walk in and act surprised. Say, "Uh-oh, it looks like THEY were here again."

14. Buy a McDonald's "Happy Meal" for lunch every day. Eat the straw and the napkin. Throw everything else away.
15. Buy a plant. Sleep with it at night. Talk to it. After a few weeks, start to argue with it loudly. Then yell, "I can't live in the same room with you," storm out of the room and slam the door. Get rid of the plant, but keep the pot. Refuse to discuss the plant ever again.

Hehe, okay, so I hope that entertained you. For those who have seen the list before, I'm sorry, but please feel free to re-live the memories!!!
Jack Handy Thought For The Day: To me, boxing is like ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
How Embarrassment!!!!
Okay, so on Wednesday I had to perform at the launch of the National Youth Awards in Darwin. Not just me by myself, but me and the other girls in my dance class, you know what I mean!! So, as you do, we decided we would do the Can Can, coz we are just SO good at it you know. After a few days of practice, and remembering the routine we were ready to rumble!!! When we got to the venue, we saw how small the stage was and were thankful that there was only four of us in the routine (there was NO way more of us could have been on there!!). After a few quick run throughs, we were all good..............or so we thought!!!
We then went backstage and finalised our costumes/makeup and kept warming up and practicing lifts and things like that. We were supposed to be on at 10.27am (exactly). We were all so used to waiting around to go on stage that I was surprised that we would be on at such a time. My dance teacher was in the bathroom when we heard a frantic "You're on NOW!"
The three of us were like "what??"
"YOU"RE ON NOW!!!!!!!!!"
3 of us: "SHAUNA!!"
We couldn't find where she was, so one girl and myself went out on stage only to realise that the music had already started playing................we decided to just stand there and ruffle our skirts about and smile. Then Shauna and Madeline came up on stage and by that time, the music was halfway through the dance and none of us knew what part we were up to. We tried to do a few kicks and I tried to follow what Shauna was doing, but alas, it was unsuccessful. I looked at Madeline and she looked at me and we both had that look in your eyes that said "this is a joke!!"
Shauna realised we couldn't keep stuffing around and in fact, the audience were actually laughing at us, so she was like "Cut, we have to start again!!"
Then she was like "sorry, I was in the bathroom............" This created more laughter from the audience.
We then did the dance again, pretty well I must say for people who had just recently suffered severe embarrassment. Though there was this one woman in the audience who kept cracking up the whole time, so I don't know whether that was a good thing.
We were also on the news for two seconds (our stuff up was not though!!).
Well, that is my most recent embarrassing story, I'm glad I could share it with you!!!
Jack Handy Thought For The Day: We used to laught at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town.
