Work It Baby, Work It!

So another week and a bit has gone by... Not much has happened really. Disappointing, I know... But this week was a relatively slow one.


Monday I slept in and was lazing around home before [Dancer] called me up asking to go see Ice Age 4 at the movies. I, of course, agreed and enjoyed a night filled with soft drink, lollies and laughter. I then stayed the night at her place where we tricked another of her friends.
~You see... Our voices sound identical on the phone. And, well at least a few years ago, we looked so alike people assumed we were sisters. We're very much in sync with each other and so; we prank a lot of people! She calls up people, then I talk to them for about five to ten minutes with [Dancer] feeding me answers now and again if they ask questions only she would know the answer too. Then [Dancer] talks for a while before stating that they had been talking to two people. The reactions we get are freaking hilarious. The people on the other side of the phone call flip out and continue to suspiciously ask who they're talking too the rest of the phone call~


Ahhhhh good times...


The next morning I was dropped off for another gym session with a few of my buddies! I was pretty lazy with this one, I will admit... I worked relatively hard for the first half hour, but the second half hour was just procrastinating... Yeah, I even do it at the gym!


Wednesday was a day spent at home... Lazing about... Like the active bitch I am ;D

My dearest Mother decided to take myself, my brother, my sister, and her friend out to bowling on Thursday. The game was fun! With the scores being:
Sister's friend: 77
Sister: 82
Brother: 88
Mother: 113
Me: 169



... 169! 169 BITCHES! YEWWWW!

Okay, in all seriousness... I usually suck at bowling. Well... No. No, I just suck... So I was rather impressed when I managed four strikes and four spares in the game. So was my Mum. Though she was also rather cheesed off at me whooping her ass... Heehee.



The second game wasn't as fantastic. My sister started acting like her usual bratty self, so I was getting annoyed at her; and the whole situation was just going bad... That was until my sister fled the lane and ended up in the bathroom, severely sick... Yeah... How quickly did my emotions go from hacked off to "Oh my gosh! She's, like, legitimately sick... Fudge balls...". O.O


So, we eventually made it home; to which I lazed around again... As I'm so expert at doing ;D


Friday provided opportunity for myself, Mum, my bro, and [Riot!] to travel to Southbank to check out the Odditorium exhibit at the State Library. Turned out to be not that fantastic and it wasted only 20 minutes of our lives. We then went and had lunch at Grill'd (GUYS! Have you been there?!? Seriously... Freaking amazing burgers! Jus' sayin') before heading home. [Riot!] and I spent some time together just chilling before saying a week long goodbye as the lucky bastard is off on a ski trip this week... =.=
I then went to work before having an early night just for the heck of it...


Woke up at the best time of day on Saturday. That being 12:30pm. Ahhhh, love sleep-ins... Anyways! I just computer-ed away my day until I headed to work, again, for the night shift. When work ended, I went straight to bed so I could be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for the morning shift at work the next day... I love it when Subway is so kind to me like that! :3


Monday; I attended another gym session with my groupies... This one I actually worked quite hard at! Sort of... For about the first 15-20 minutes... I kinda burned myself out a little too quickly hehe. I then managed to grab a sub that was made by this ridiculously slow girl (who I politely asked to speed it up as I had a bus to catch in three minutes) before sprinting to the bus stop. The bus was just leaving as I was running up, but I managed to stumble on breathless and collapse beside [Sasquatch] and [TenutoTuo] who had decided not to grab lunch so they could make the bus in time... Eh! I'm still proud of my awesome ninja skills! ;)
Later on, it seemed that the gym session would come back to haunt me... In the form of me trying not to hobble around like an old woman at work due to constant leg cramps. It was wonderful fun! =.=


Yesterday morning had [Master Dance] arriving at my house. This was the first time we had met up with each other, face-to-face, sober... (Considering the only other time we've seen each other in person was when he was completely drunk at a party...). He went to shake my brother's hand, to which my brother was like "O.O Wuuuuut?". Smooth bro... Smooth...
We then watched most of Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows II before our stomachs got the better of us... A quick Subway run made it the third day in a row that I had had a sub... Not to mention that a couple of days before that ended another three or four day stint of subs... Yeah. I can't get enough of Subway these holidays... After that we just chilled for a few hours until about 3:30pm when he had to leave (considering he lives an hour away from me) as he had plans later that evening... But let's not forget his brief return to grab his phone charger he almost left in my possession! ;P THAT would have been interesting to return to him...


So I've spent most of my time, recently, doing this thing called role-playing. (For those of you don't know what it is. Google is your friend!).
On Monday afternoon, before work, I discovered a Facebook page devoted to role-playing Harry Potter characters. Well... I'd discovered a few beforehand, but I was searching for one that had characters available that I actually wanted to play (which is difficult cause people always come in and snag the awesome ones >.<). The page I had found had a spot available for Draco Malfoy. My Harry Potter nerdiness went through the roof and I eagerly snatched it. I don't know what it is... But I like role-playing as a snarky, arrogant, pure-blooded Slytherin male... Even though I'm the complete opposite in person! Maybe that's the reason... Hmmm... ANYWAYS! Yeah. I've been pretty happy role-playing as him... It actually whiles away time in my non-existent life! Which is always a good thing.


So yeah! That leads us to now... 11:33pm on the 11th of July, 2012. My muscles are absolutely killing me from the gym session... I'm chatting to [Regal Pain] on Facebook as well as role-playing as Draco on Chatzy. This is after I have gorged myself on Shapes and Tiny Teddies, as well as having had a glass of Gossips: Sweet Lips. <- Best darn alcohol I have tasted so far! So yummy... ^.^


Apparently [Regal Pain] and I are now catching up on Monday... He's coming to my house and is expecting to 'kick my ass' at pool... Well I say: "Bring it on bitch!"


My dog, Max, is calling me silently to let him off the couch cause he can't jump off of it himself... When he scratches himself, one of his paws crosses the other so it looks like the cross Jesus died on and all that... It's freaking adorable! So, I might go help him out and end this post ^.^


~This rushing is making me stronger~

Partyin' Partyin' Yeah!? No...

So I've been relatively busy lately, hence why I haven't posted until now... What can I say? I actually have a life now! (Crazy, right?)


So... Tuesday the 19th was spent doing bits of Math study; but mostly procrastinating as usual ^.^ Leaving me waking up on Wednesday morning arrogantly confident, though still slightly stressing that I'd screw things up. Which, Murphy's Law, I did... A few times... But, I know I've most definitely still passed so I'm not overly fussed!


After that, I had no more exams! So... PARTY!?!?! Right? Wrong... The 'Exam Period 24/7 No Noise Policy' was still in effect until Friday 4pm (the ending time of the last Uni exam). So, how did I spend half the week? Sitting in my room playing Diablo II and The Sims 3 with [America!]. (Literally... It was almost like he was living in my room, that's how much time we wasted away... Hehe). Though there was one night where I did end up getting an incident report from the senior resident on my floor...


This, I regret. Yes; I am aware that there are people who got at least 11 reports last year and still managed to come back this year... But, I guess I just want to try and be the best possible resident I can be; to ensure that I can come back next year. Normally, when we're noisy during no noise hours; we only get a warning, which is then followed up by an incident report if we continue it. During exam period, there are no noise warnings. It's a straight up incident report. I tell ya... It's bloody hard being silent all the time; so it's almost impossible to not get one... But I was frustrated when I'd lasted till the second last night before getting one.


The reason I had gotten one was because [Regal Pain] and I were hanging out in my room; venting our end-of-exam energy by pillow fighting and annoying each other incessantly until we were laughing incredibly hard at around 2 or 3 in the morning... Yeah, not the best time of the morning I know... But it's sometimes easy to forget that you live with other people =.=


Anyways, after that... It was Friday! Last day of exam period! I spent the first half of the day playing with the puppies that were brought around to Pitt; until about 3pm when half of the Biochem students arrived from the exam saying it was incredibly easy. The last hour dragged on, but it was worth it. 4pm arrived, and my down the hall DJ friend had his speakers set up and was blasting music; while almost everyone already had the alcohol out and was blissfully socialising as loudly as they wanted.


I spent an hour or so with [DJ] and [America!], where I had a bottle of alcoholic cider for the first time (I can't even remember what it was really. It tasted almost as bad as beer, which is truly disgusting...) before going to dinner. After dinner, the night began. Everyone was either gathered in the common room pre-drinking, or in small groups of 2-3 in people's rooms doing the same thing. I spent most of my time before the club in the common room watching an incredibly drunk guy hit on every girl in the room (except for me, thankfully) with a bleeding eye socket as he had made an alcohol-induced decision to headbutt a pool cue... Yeaahhh...


Anyways! I was soon dressed up as a lion (the party was circus themed) and was heading over to the club with [Regal Pain] at around 9pm. Turns out that there was only a tiny handful of people who had dressed up; but I didn't care! The thing that annoyed me most was that the club had to close at 10pm because there weren't enough people to gain any profit. So, after 10pm, [Regal Pain] and I went into town so I could buy alcohol for him; he's not 18 yet... We got back to Uni, for me to find him sending me to bed as I was rather tipsy... In total, I had had a bottle of cider before dinner; tried a teensy bit of vodka in the common room; and had a vodka cruiser at the club, followed by my first ever shot (which tasted kinda like a chocolate milkshake... It was really nice! But I could tell how quickly it hit me when I felt dizzy walking back to the table where everyone was gathered... Yeeaahh... I blame [Azzo] for buying it for me after finding out I hadn't had one before.). Oh, and this was followed by another Vodka Cruiser... O.O


So, I left [Regal Pain] at his hall, Shelton, and headed back to Pitt where I came across a very drunk [DJ]. Normally [DJ] is really shy and barely talks, but boy does he change when he's drunk... We ended up talking in the common room for a while until we saw a girl and a guy come in. The girl has the same name as me, and used to live down the street from me years ago; so we know each other. The guy I had only seen once before, and I know he's moving into my floor next semester. We all hung out for a while until they started making out by the vending machine and running off, not at all suss, to her room... I found myself laughing, yet slightly concerned as she was driving me home the next day; and I did not want to walk into anything awkward the next morning.


Eventually I found my way into a guy's room who I know. I shall call him [Ducky] as he is the sport rep and always dresses up as our duck mascot... Anyways, so he, myself, [DJ] (though he flitted in and out), and a girl I know [FrayFray] gossiped and talked about random things most of the night. That was until I got a Facebook message from [Regal Pain] reading "You're pretty ;)". I asked him how drunk he was, and the reply I received was "Quite. Want a visit?". 10 minutes later, I was being scolded by him for still being awake instead of being asleep. He then tried to send me to bed; until he realised that it wasn't going to work. It was then that he revealed his inner (drunk) cuddly side... I couldn't help but laugh as he demanded hugs and would whine whenever I'd try pull away. 10 minutes later I was shooing him back off to Shelton hall as he was complaining that he was tired.


By the time all this had happened, it was about 3am. I was to get up in two and a half hours so I could leave to go home at around 6:30am... So, what did I do? Stay up all night of course! I wasn't about to be all cranky to the girl who was taking me home; so it was better for me to stay awake.


I lasted until I had gotten through my chiropractor session before crashing on my bed at 9am. I was woken by my dearest Mother at 3pm so I could get ready for work which ended at 10pm. As soon as I got home from that, I crashed again as I had to be up at 7:30 the next morning for another work shift.


After that work shift I went home for a few hours until [Dancer] came by to take me back to her place for the next couple of nights. We had a massive catch up session, ate ice cream, sang a lot... We also went around Southbank taking photos for her Art assignment; as well as trying not to spend money on the sales going round... I managed to restrict myself to a jumper, singlet, and two pairs of pants... That was impressive of me!


After two nights at [Dancer]'s, I went home for a couple of hours before heading back out to the city to meet up with [Riot!]. We went to King George Square, which was holding a Winter Festival; including ice skating. The heavens were pouring down, leaving the rink coated with a small puddle of H2O. [Riot!] played safe and cautious while skating round the rink... Meaning that he stayed upright the entire time (more due to the fact that he chose the moments to almost slip when I wasn't close enough to push him... Hehe). Me on the other hand? Yeah... I was way too reckless for my own good. I should have learnt my lesson after the first time I slipped over. But no! It took another three times after that as well... Though, I wouldn't be surprised if I had fallen over at least one more time if it weren't for [Riot!] ending it 15 minutes early as his ankle was screaming at him...


We then spent around an hour walking around and around the city trying to find somewhere nice we could have dinner. Yeah... No luck! So we found this small sushi place instead. After that we began to head back to [Riot!]'s Dad's place by using public transport. This included me stripping on public transport... Yep. You heard me!


Due to the freezing weather we had been having lately, I had been wearing multiple layers of clothing. I stripped off my jeans to reveal a pair of jeggings underneath (you guys seriously didn't think I'd strip down to underwear on public transport did you?!?!), only to cover them back up again with my pair of incredibly comfy Pitt pants. I then took off the two soaking wet jumpers I was wearing, leaving just a white singlet, before putting my spare shirt and jacket. Much warmer; I couldn't help but giggle at what I'd just done, in the back row of a public bus. Sure, I hadn't completely stripped... But I'm immature and found it way more entertaining than I should have!


It was then that I spent the next three night's at [Riot!]'s place. Watching a heck of a lot of Big Bang Theory; kicking his ass on Mario Kart Wii; having McDonald's for dinner one night, and this insanely yummy chicken with potato salad the next... Damn... His step-mother can cook! Anyways... On the final night, microphones and dance moves were brought out as we played We Sing and Michael Jackson Dance on the Wii. Watching [Riot!] sing along to Barbie Girl by Aqua made my night; but not as much as seeing eight of us singing and dancing enthusiastically along with MJ songs. Soon enough, it was Friday morning and I was public transporting my way back home and getting ready for work.


I'm finding it a little irritating that Subway appears to be giving me Friday and Saturday night shifts... Way to ruin any fun weekend night plans I may want to organise work! *Sigh* Do it for the money [Miss Invisible]... Just focus on the $$$.


So Friday night was spent working. Half of Saturday was spent me sleeping... Followed by a few hours of me sleepily staring at Facebook for goodness knows what reason... (I did do other things, but that's the only thing I can remember). I then went for a walk with my sister around the local oval multiple times; catching up on each other's gossip and spending some girl time together. Soon after that I was headed off to work again with a guy I shall dub [Gamer]. We had a relatively busy night, but still managed to crack jokes and discuss multiple topics which made the night enjoyable overall. I quite like my co-workers... They're all nerds of some kind, and are all relatively young; so I fit in quite perfectly there! :3


Aaaaaand, this leads us to today! Which would be a Sunday! I awoke at around 11am due to my sister coming in and saying that we're headed out to a ~relatively~ local place to walk around the lake discussing matters of not much importance; as is the usual with my family ^.^


I'm currently sitting in the lounge room of my home; already getting slightly stir crazy by being in the house and wanting to get out and socialise as much as I can before going back to Uni in three weeks time. Granted, I am incredibly strapped for cash at the moment; which makes it quite difficult to catch up with people... But it doesn't stop me from wanting too! Whether they be from Uni or from my original group: I want to have the best holidays ever. I'm 18 years old now. The amount of freedom this has given me is insane. I can go out practically whenever I want now (Given I'm not ruining family plans, and I tell my parents where I'm going and everything...). I'm seeing the world in a new way. I'm finally coming out of my shell and being the socialite I've always craved to be. I just want to grasp opportunity with both of my hands and run off with it while I can!!!


Right, before I get into some cheesy inspirational ramble that would inevitably make me gag; I'm going to end things here! :P Hopefully I'll have some interesting tales to tell in the future, but until then... PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!! Yeah, I don't know either...


~Set it off! Set it off!~
