I’m really happy right now.
My second week at work couldn’t have gone better, the diet and exercise is back on track and going swimmingly, I caught up with all my awesome Telstra friends on Thursday, and I have like the best boyfriend ever.
Thursday night was fantastic - we headed out to Harem in Paddington for dinner. Despite my reservations in regards to particular potential attendees (Oooh, cryptic!), the entire group seemed to have a wonderful time. The food was delicious, my new dress was cute, the belly dancer was hot, and I finally got to hang out with my Ashley. I still miss him lots though :( Lucily, he and the boy seem to have taken a liking to each other - Nathan taught him rock-lock :P I don’t really know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t, to be honest. Well, I do, but.. I’m thankful that they get along, or whatever.
I spent pretty much the rest of the week hanging out with the boy, and it was totally awesome. Awesome-o awesome.
I have a list of things I must accomplish this week though;
- Gym at least four times.
- Finish washing alllll the clothes on the floordrobe.
- Drinking with Justin
- Post work drinks with Ashley <3
- Enquire about uni stuff.
- Sort out PT stuff.

No sooner than I almost have car keys in my hot little hands, I want more things. Fortunately (aside from my aspirations for home ownership), none of the things I want are anywhere NEAR as expensive as a shiny new Jessmobile. So, as well as having a 10 year plan, I have a list of 10 things I want by the end of this year. Not that I’ll actually get them, but things that’d be really nice to have.
#1 - The Jessmobile.
I’ve wanted a car since I was 16. Seriously, the idea of not relying on mumsies to give me rides everywhere was extremely appealing. Currently, the idea of not relying on Brisbane’s ridiculous excuse for a public transport system is even more appealing. (Side Note: I waited 20 minutes tonight in the god damned rain for a god damned bus that didn’t even GOD DAMNED COME. As Murphys Law would have it (that fucking guy), it was the last bus of the evening, forcing me to call a taxi. A shiny orange taxi that contained possibly the most useless taxi driver I have ever encountered. Seriously, who the hell drives in the centre of two lanes, car directly atop the dotted line? That, and he could hear anything I was saying. Those of you who know me well (hell, those of you who’ve met me, you know, once) are aware of how loud I talk. A JESSMOBILE WOULD (AND WILL) SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. HOORAY.
#2 - IXUS 60!
My Rach has one of these, she brought it to Brisbane with her and I thought it was totally awesome. So, I want one. They’re only $330something from Umart, so when I get my research monies I’ll probably get one of these straight up.
It has some pretty cool features, the one that I’m most fond of being the rechargable battery. I hate having to buy batteries, it frustrates me beyond belief. Quite honestly, some unreasonable amount that I’ll probably be discussing with a therapist at some point. In any case, it’s pretty, it’s point and click, and it’s teeny weeny with a huge lcd preview screen.
#3 - Gears of War
Gears of War! Except, I want it on PC. The problem is? I’m expecting by the time that GoW comes out on PC, it’ll be using DX10. DX10 = upgrading to Vista. Upgrading to Vista = you can bite my ass. Maybe I’ll have to buy an Xbox360 when the new ones come out 
#4 - New Corset!
One of these two, or both, to add to my awesome collection. My awesome collection of two.
I figure the first one, which I’d be getting in black, would be appropriate for use in public. You know, you could fit it in with normal outfits. Probably. The second? Well. I’d reserve it for dressing up and being silly, but I can’t help but be drawn to it - ESPECIALLY in pinstripe!
#5 - 7 day trip to Tokyo to celebrate Rach’s Graduation!
This one still has some details to be nutted out, and I still have some extreme budgeting to do to see if I can work this one into the schedule, but it looks like it may be a goer. We’re thinking sometime in November. Stay tuned for more details 
#6- Tattoos!
Ever since I had my tongue pierced I’ve been interested in body modification. I’m fond of the idea of a few more piercings too, but for now I’ll just look forward to the tattoos. The top one is to go on the back of my neck (without the four coggy bits, and all filled in properly, obviously no sketchy bits), and the Trivium one is to go on the inside of my left wrist.
#7 - Bookcase.
I’m a total asshole to my books. The ones I like looking at are currently strewn about my room, and the rest I’ve packed away, in boxes, under the house. In the dirty dank dampness. So, I need.. say.. two bookcases to put all my books in, so I can stop being a total asshole to my poor books. They deserve better Ideally, I’d like a dark coloured bookcase to go with the rest of my furnishings, but for now I’ll grab a couple of cheapies from Ikea and do what I can with ‘em.
#8 - Trivium.
In concert. Again. PLEEASE.
Okay, so maybe I’m being selfish. Maybe I’m still tripping off my post concert contact with extreme hotness excitement. Whatever it is, I can’t stop hitting up google video for live stuff to watch. I’m way too fond of them, especially Matt Heafy. That’s because he’s way hot though. *drool*
#9 - BBQ!
Yes, I realise this means I’m settling down, growing up and all that. Sure, I feel like a bit of an old man. But.. I want a BBQ!
You all know how social I am, and to be perfectly honest, I really love standing around the barbie, beer in hand, while the boys squabble over who is going to be doing the cooking. To have that at home, we’re going to need a bbq.
#10 - A new guitar!
Don’t get me wrong, I still really love my old guitar. Clancy and I, we go way back. Thing is though, I need a new one. Well, a new two, really. I want an electric so I can bust out the super jam things or whatever, and I want an acoustic so I can do my usual 3 chord singalongs. They’re a whole lotta fun.
===========================
Okay. So that’s the whole list done. Yup, not one computer related item. Unexpected, huh?
Welll…. I have another 10. Except they’re all computer related. And they can wait a while, because this post has taken way too long. Much love to you and your mothers. <3

WA was a good kick in the butt for me. Kinda gave me the inspiration I required to sit down and really think about what the hell I’m doing with my life. So, I’m working on a 10 year plan. With charts and lists and pie graphs and everything. Well, maybe not the pie graphs. I can’t keep that up for 10 years.
In any case, I’ve been a busy little bunny. I’ve organised my budget, arranged some planners and a timeline to keep on my wall, and I’ve finally got a vague idea of where I want to be (or at least, DOING) for the next 10 years. Or so. For the next, say, 6 months, I’m basically planning to stay the fuck away from boys, pass my licence exam (which is on the 7th of March), and do extra, super dooperly well at work. If you come to my house you can ogle my cool timeline that should be going up within the next couple of days.
Also, I miss all of you terribly. Especially Ashley (who I happen to be so proud of). A huge thanks to Shaun for fixing my site, making it look pretty, and adding the AWESOME gallery plugin, as demonstrated above and to my right just myah ->>
<3 <3
Edit: I’ve put the wall planners up, and they’re already covered in red pen scribble. I guess that means I have more stuff to do than I thought *gulp*

I don’t know about you guys, but I love it when exam season comes to an end.
Last night to celebrate Joel’s extreme awesomeness (First Class Honours, baby, yeah.) we went over to Tom’s house to get pissed as ticks. I still hadn’t packed all my stuff up yet for the going away, so when they arrived to pick me up my room was a mess and my bags were barely packed. In any case, we left my place at about 8:00 and fled to the giant liquor barn down the road for alcoholic provisions.
Like always, I grabbed some vodka. Joel grabbed a sack of goon and some bourbon, which I thought was a little weird, but eh. (The bourbon weird, not the goon. The goon is.. very un weird. Common, even.) After calling Tom a bogan because of his lack of shoes and paying out the counter lady, we left. I got stuck in the backseat because I didn’t yell shotgun quickly enough. Joel won this round.
In any case, Tom wanted hot chips so we went to coles on the way back to his place and stocked up on foods. Wedges were purchased instead of chips, and we grabbed some misc other stuff as well. Upon arrival at Tom’s place and after I finished marvelling at how huge his house was, we all wandered into his awesome room full of awesome toys and played Gears of War all night. I’m not usually good at console gaming but apparently I wasn’t completely woeful at it, which surprised me immensely.
We all got pretty drunk, and at about 2am we decided to go to bed. Luckily, there were already two mattresses on the floor and everything so sleeping was conveniently pre-prepared.
This morning before my big exciting adventure I had to go to work to hand in my contract, so.. I did. All hungover and bleary eyed with my hair everywhere and wearing old jeans and an old black dress, I stumbled in, signed a few papers, and stumbled back downstairs to be picked up. We stopped in and saw mum this morning- Boobalah is the biggest skank in the universe. I swear to god, every boy she meets? She’s insanely affectionate, rolling around on their laps and purring loudly into their ears. It’s cute and all, but pretty inconvenient when you’re trying to sit around drinking tea and talking with my awesome mum.
I’m bored and tired and there are people drinking without me, and I must join them. I only got on here to send some stupid emails for work and decided to get blogging. I’ll probably post some photos at some stage, but I figure they’ll probably be too embarassing and chicken out at the last minute. In any case, there’s a spa out there, and I’m in here. Yeah, that’s stupid. Later kids!
