Poor Virginia

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

I'm in bed at the moment, and this just cracked me up. I had to stuff a pillow in my face to muffle the sound.

Although this isn't really that big of a deal, you can't go really operate your business saying shit like "A MEDIUM LATTE FOR VAGINA... VAGINA... VAGINA?"

I feel so bad for the barista who has to call out the name.

Someone might even mistake it for the penis game.


On a completely unrelated note, last night I dreamt that an American Indian chief took me island hopping. We literally hopped all over the island to the next one and so on. I remember feeling really happy when I woke up. Hope I get this dream again :)

Getting political

I see a number of ignorant posts about the labor govt not being able to bring the budget back to surplus this year.

Lay off. Seriously. Do you realise what will be cut if they really tried to bring it back to surplus? Education grants, infrastructure, health... What do you do with your surplus anyway? Spend it on the people. There's so much left to be fixed in the country.

I mean of course it can't be like this in the long term, but Aus still doesn't exactly have the largest working population, govt income from tax isn't enough.

Call me ignorant or whatever, I feel as though the current debate about our deficit is more of a political one rather than an economical one.

Personal Space

Recently, I've noticed that my sister has morphed into a feely person.  And by feely, I don't mean copping-a-feel type feely, but hugs and just in general, violating my right to personal space. 

I'm not that into hugs, or air kisses (oh god, these confuse me SO much. Which side will your head tilt to? I see your face looming towards mine, oh god, oh god, do I turn left? Are you turning your head yet? Shit, ok, 50% chance you'll go left, right? OK, I'll tilt right. And bang, awkward head clash because you both tilt your heads to your right, and you narrowly avoided their lips. AW-KWARD). 

When K talks to me, she leans in really close, and I feel her breath on my face sometimes and it just really bugs me. UNNECESSARILY CLOSE. Invading personal space like that is only warranted when there is an intruder in the house, and we are both hiding under the dining room table, trying to figure out what household object we can use as a makeshift weapon (which, I've decided, will be the tennis racquet, which happily resides next to my bed, and the rolling pin - for obvious reasons... gonna roll 'dem).

It doesn't mean I hate people. I really like people. 

I'd just rather appreciate them from afar. 

Yes... afar. 

BUT digressing... lately I've fallen into the Game of Thrones abyss. 

A week ago, if you asked me about GoT, I would have said something like  ehh dragons, dark magic, swordfights... whatever

Now, it's more like OOH DRAGONS, DARK MAGIC.. SWORDFIGHTS!!

I'm totally up to date. Waiting for the next ep. 

The awful thing about this series, is not being able to watch it with my family. I was watching it in the living room on the big screen, but my parents walked through the door during a sex scene. GoT sex scenes are not your usual hollywood sex scenes. They're a lot more graphic. Even when I'm watching by myself, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Imagine what it was like having my parents walk into the room.

FUAAAR.

Luckily they had no idea what was going on, and it didn't register at all. Definitely learnt my lesson. Bloody HBO.

When K asked me to watch it with her, the word "NO" could not tumble out of my mouth any faster.

Posted today just to assure you, Vanessa, that I'm not dead. I'm alive - not so much kicking. Incredibly sore from a long ass training sesh yesterday. Getting old. 

This is it for now, friends, for I have to return to my Capital Gains Tax reading. It is SO interesting - I've fallen asleep numerous times while attempting to read it all in one sitting. I've done about 5 pages out of the total 80 pages. /wrists.

Hope you are all in good spirits and refreshed from this wonderful weekend 8)

As my favourite ABC Rollercoaster presenter used to say, BYE FOR NOW (not forever)!

Things to look forward to

Once all these assessments are over, I can sit down and carefully choose which insurance plan to buy for my trip.

While I was procrastinating earlier, I realised one of the things I'm really looking forward to is listening to people's stories. I figured that while I spend over 2 months abroad, I'll probably cross paths with a lot of talkative travellers.

When you're travelling it's always ok to approach strangers and talk to them. When we were in Vegas, we started chatting to a NZ family on a bus. All that it took was "OMG you're kiwi's! We're from Sydney!". But in Sydney, I feel stupid if I do something like that, because I'm not a traveller. I don't have the right to approach strangers. Do you know what I mean?

You're a tourist, you're supposed to be curious, open and a bit enthusiastic! And yolo!

So yes. I'm really keen to be a tourist again. Like fuaaar, get me out of here. Drowning under assessments arrrghhh!

How is it almost eleven already :'( today's gone by too fast.

And a second time

This email made a lol a bit.

Oh turn it in, you choose to not work at the optimal time. :) life is sweet.
