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

Okay, yes, I have a buttload of updates to write. and I PROMISE. I will write them. I just need to gather a compendium of photos, a whole lot of memories that’ve been suppressed by the alcohol. So. Over the next couple of days I will be posting about things but I will post about them in seperate posts so I can add cute photos and things. Wooahh!

Okay, just so you know? I love my friends. I’m pretty much convinced that my friends are the most amazing people in the universe, no joke.
So right now? I’d kind of like to sit down in my drunken, post party state and say (in the grinchiest manner possible) Merry Christmas, and a hopefully exciting new year. I love you all. I hope your new year is prosperous and amazing as I plan mine will be. And a massive thanks to everyone who volunteered to beat the crap out of Ian. Although I have vehemently rejected all your offers so far, I’m extremely appreciative.
Now! Lots of shoutouts to all the awesome people. (Don’t get all pissy if you’re way down the bottom/not here at all, I’m still updating this crap. And, i’m only writing about people as I think of nice things to say about them, so maybe if you’re way down the bottom THERE ISNT MUCH NICE IN YOU no I kid, I love you all.)
I’m going to start with Ashley! because he’s amazing. Ashley we absolutely must go restauranting and shopping because that’s how we roll. Mwah. I think I started with you because I know you’re one of my most avid readers and I love that. Love it to little tiny chunks.
Andrew, I am incredibly envious of how well your arse has held up even though you’re so 20 years old right now. Seriously, my god, you’re freaking ancient. I love old people though, so you’re lucky. I don’t love them like THAT though, so, you know, you’ll have to settle with just the platonic kind of loving.
Joel I am so ridiculously proud of you and your uni marks and I’ve got as much as I can cross crossed for the PHD business. Finish watching Grey’s already so we can gossip about it more over goon. OH AND WE HAVE TO GOON IT UP HARD. ASAP.
Grant, I miss sitting with you! Please please please change teams soon so I can sit with you again and so I don’t call Rob “Grant” anymore. It’s just not cricket.
FatMan won’t bother reading the blog anyway so it doesn’t really matter what I type about him. DOES IT? HUH?? No sir. I love him to bits, and he already knew that.
Danny I promise you that this year will be better. We’ve both had fairly substantial emotional setbacks this year and I know that I can’t even begin to understand how messed your situation was, I hope you know I always have your back. Always. As in, until I die. My dying breath will be “THAT WHORE!”, if you feel like yelling that for a while.
Tom you c*nt, learn to be a gentleman. I don’t really have much to say to you that you don’t already know but jesus, you’re fantastic, and we need to hang out constantly. Well, not constantly, because you can be a bit of a whore, but you know what I mean. No I’m kidding you’re crazy I love you.
Rach! You just talked to me on msn and I can’t believe after talking about beating up Ian you weren’t way up the top! Even though we met under some pretty horrible and slightly hilarious circumstances, I think you’re really awesome and I can tell we’re totally going to click when you come to Brisbane. Think of all the drinking! The half-hearted hung-over sight seeing! The ice cream! Going to be awesome frog:
Mals, thanks for taking me under your wing and educating me about boys the minute you met me. I love you to bits for it, and that you’ve always accepted me for exactly how cool I am already. That, and you get me, you do. We’ve absolutely gotta hang out more this year.
Cindy and Will (because I know Cindy TOTALLY reads this from time to time), thankyou for always dragging me out of my shell and inviting me to things, I’m such a slackarse that I’d just sit at home curled under a blanket watching blackbooks otherwise. Even though i’ve had to pike most of the time for shitty work. An even huger thanks for the super uber parties.
Speaking of super uber parties, BLAIR AND SNUFFY, you guys. You guys. I love your damn parties, they’re so much awesome fun. You should have more. Like, perhaps some kind of continuous party where people just drunkenly come and go? I don’t know, but I love your work, I do.
Joe Tong never reads my blog anyway, but Joe you are the gookiest chink in the world and I totally, completely <3 you.
MICHAEL! MY MICHAEL! Michael, you’re one of the best internet buddies I ever had. I love your blog because your writing rocks and you crack me the fuck up pretty much every post. And how fucking GOOD was Opeth?
Frostylu, thankyou so much for always being there for me. This year wouldn’t have been as easy if you hadn’t always been here for me to pull my hair out at, and to rant and rave with, and I’m extremely appreciative. And holy cow, you sure know how to make a lass full of happy and surprise.
Cam, thanks for being the dorkman to my nublet. And stop being so darn cute. You know, for an old guy.
Willfor! Baby willfor, my 93% match or whatever the hell it was. We need to drink together more often because we have awesome barefoot shopping centre adventures. And thanks for the tiny teddies <3
Whalley, you’re a dork, and I CANT SEE YOU BECAUSE I’M JUST STROLLING PAST. Head held high and all that shit. Your new bag isn’t as bad as I pretend it is, just so you know.
