Brooke’s 18th

Brooke and MintyLast night partway through Matthew’s 18th party, Sean and I made our way over to Brooke’s 18th, which was also the party for her friend Abby who had turned 18 recently as well. We had a great night, hanging out with guys from Sean’s indoor team, Brooke and her friends as well as the various parents. It was a nice, relaxed night hanging out on the deck, eating, laughing, drinking, chatting and watching a certain someone pretend to feed the dog burbon. <– which was immensley funny to watch the reaction when people thought the dog was been fed burbon.

After the utterly decant cake from Chocolat and home made yummies, we piled into to two maxi taxis to head off to Friday’s for a fun filled night. Hanging out at Friday’s is always great since they have a big outside are to sit, drink, talk etc. Both birthday girls scored us all free entry and they got some free drinks as well. I shouted Brooke a Viagra (Vodka, Blue Curacao and Red Bull). Sean shouted me a Skyy Platinum, which I had not tried before and was very tasty. The highlight of the night for Sean and Dave was for sure their decision to get a Johnny Walker Blue on the rocks between them, costing them AU$25. I had a sip and whoa what a scotch, I think I will stay to the Johnny Black. Somewhere near 2:20am, Sean and I arrived back at his place, after one of the best nights out I had in long time. Happy Birthday Brooke!!

a new filofax

This morning, after dropping Sean’s father at Brooke’s house to collect his car and myself doing a drop and run mail call at Brooke’s doorstep. We headed off to Bulimba to the Queensland Centre for Photography where my aunt Julie, has some photographs on display. Quite interesting.

After looking at the exhibit, Sean headed back to his place and I went home with Mum and Grandad. On the way we stopped in at Officeworks for Mum to get some stuff for school, whilst she was getting what she wanted I headed over to the Bargain bin, where I picked up a Filofax Metrople for AU$17, retails for ~AU$70, score:), I have wanted a Filofax now since 1999, I finally have one 🙂 I also picked up a desk calender refill, which I plan to use in my scrapbooking for 43cents.

Now I am looking at MY FiloFax, affraid to mess it up by writing in it, am also going through the photos I took at Matthew’s and then Brooke’s 18th parties last night, which will be up on the web later on this arvo.

silly helen

when I start writing this it is 4:34am, I should have been in bed 4 hrs ago, but what I have been doing – fixing and re-designing the code for this site. I loaded the site up this evening and the side bar was off, played around and played around and could not find the errror, so I loaded my back-up whilst I did this one. I quite like it, still have to add some code back into the sidebar, but I like it, looking good and different. The fab photo in the header was taken by my Mum, who is going to chide me when she reads this post and probably call me a silly girl 😀

exams, post and fun

Well I now have two mid-semesters completed and one to do next friday, now I can focus on my semester essays all that are now round the 3000 word mark and require extensive research.

My heart broke for a stranger in my mid-semester today for a class called Approaches to Asia’s History, we only have about 15 students in the subject, so when this girl rocked up today for the exam, we were suprised, she had not been to any of the workshops, so I watched her periodically during the exam and when she got up to leave and hand in her paper, the lecturer advised her to come to workshops when she can and then when she left, started to read her paper, like he had for the others who had already left, I could see that she had left most of the questions unanswered. I could not understand why, if she knew she could not attend the workshops, why she even enrolled in the class.

I struggled with one question, where I was not able to recall enough information on the events in Pangkor during the 1870’s.

I had a good mail day today, an ebay parcel containing a new memory card for my forthcoming camera, a 2peas order arrived at Barb’s ( 🙂 heaps of fun stuff to play with), and a package arrived from Fiskars with the tools I will be needing when I work for them at the upcoming Craft Show with the extraordinary Helen Williams. Heaps of fun 🙂

Also spent time completing the Virdian Room and Crimson Room, heaps of fun and I got some scrapping in too 🙂

Tommorow I have two 18th birthday parties to attend and photograph, going to be a busy night, I wish my 350D would have arrived for the events but that is not so.
