foot notes:
I couldn’t accept all the drinks people were prepared to buy me as I would have got smashed.
Rachel is a pool shark – she won three of the four games against the guys.
People like to knock their beers over.
Taxi is still the call made when people make stuff.
Lemon Lime Bitters with too much Bitters in tastes awful.
two girls deciding that a toilet cubicle is a great place to get some quality time whilst a line is out the door waiting for the toilets is not cool.
Helen really can’t play pool (unless it is on the computer)
T minus 23hrs
well we are past the 24hr mark now!
In the last stages of packing – at the moment my bag is 13kg! – max allowed to europe is 20kg (USA is 32kg) – so lots of room to stock up on stuff.
Mum just made a nice carry strap for my tripod – sure beats the manfrotto strap which would have costed AU$50.
Going out tonight for a farwell night out, heaps or friends and their friends as well, but of course 2 people have piked already π π pikers
Working on my post card list.
Putting together my little journal kit
Getting excited!
yay, yay, yay!
All my exams are now done! yeah! over! yeah! for the semester at least.
Now I can focus on getting ready for Iceland, post card lists to write, last minute items to buy, camera gear to sort out, clothes to wash, all the fun stuff.
But exams are over for the semester – from my four subjects, three I had already passed or needed a couple of percent to pass, just one which I am concerned about but I can’t do anything now π
Happy Birthday Karyn!
scraping in with the nick of time.
Enjoy the last couple of minutes of your birthday Karyn!
Happy Birthday! The last year or two it has been great getting to know you and your family π
Hope the day was happy π
Margarita Chiquita
I saw this little quiz on Lindsay’s blog – What drink are you? So I thought that sounds like a fun little quiz, I wonder which drink I will be?
Helen, you’re a Margarita Chiquita
No doubt about it, you’re a fun-loving mamacita. And no drink suits you better than a saucy margarita. From frozen and frothy to easy and on-the-rocks, you’ve always got good times on your mind, whether you’re out to dance the night away, spice up a fancy dinner party, or add some flair to your knitting club.
And even when you just need a relaxing night at home, you can always find a way to keep things interesting. Like your sassy signature drink, you brighten up any occasion and remind people that any event Γ’β¬β from a backyard barbeque to a mani/pedi extravaganza Γ’β¬β is better when you call it a party. OlΓΒ©!
So it looks like my fav drink is my signature drink too π Though I much, much prefer on the rocks to frozen. What umbrella drink are you?
Had my 3rd exam today that was worth 70% of my marks for the subject, think I went ok, though am dissapointed with the lecturer that all the stuff he said to know for the exam was not on it π
the something special
When washing up in our house the washer gets to pick the music, since Matthew normally washes, he gets to pick the music which normally consists of tunes from 7 seconds, agnostic front, rancid, bouncing souls, sick of it all, misfits, nekromantix, anti-flag, dead kennedys, operation ivy, lars frederiksen and the bastards, vandals plus a stack of other bands.
Most of it I don’t mind but is not something would listen to everyday however recently I have caught my self singing along to the something special by the bouncing souls. It is just such a great song π Have a listen here – scroll down to the samples section.
The Something Special
We can’t agree on a single thing,
I dont know why.
We almost killed each other on the inside.
I managed to be a jerk anyway,
it doesn’t have to be this way
Forget about the things I said
I make no excuse for them.
I want to start again
We all walk our seperate ways
I don’t know why,
I hope we meet again somewhere some day.
I can’t chage the way you feel
It doesn’t have to be this way
Forget about the things I said,
I make no excuse for them
I want to start again
I think about the two of us,
I don’t know why,
I feel good on the inside.
It’s different now,
I’m one I stand alone.
I have to be this way
