I think they actually thought we were just taking photos with a random street bum - as if you would do that. <br /><br />all in all a lot of eating, drinking and skiing was done. we got a little sleep and managed to kill no one - luckily.<br /><br />I still haven't chosen my subjects for next semester.<br /><br />In support of the well known art of procrastination i relsove to leave it till the morning. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acoustic_soul:17260 2003-07-18T04:20:59Z 2003-07-18T04:20:59Z Sha Sha - Ben Kweller of course this means a 21 hour bus ride. not sure if i'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />went to bed at 5am<br /><br />am quite tired<br /><br />but most please that stupid stocktake is over<br /><br />have made new gay friend at place of employment<br /><br />time to go pack<br /><br />note to self - am worse than anne - not a good thing - need help urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acoustic_soul:16920 2003-07-17T03:45:40Z 2003-07-17T03:45:40Z 1) The bandage was wound around the wound.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 2) The farm was used to produce produce.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 4) We must polish the Polish furniture.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 10) I did not object to the object.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 13) They were too close to the door to close it.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an egg plant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

And so there were 10. Kate and monte went in a car i think???? well they definitely got there.<br /><br />It was freezing but we were all gorgeous.<br /><br />We waited ages for the stupid cloak room to open.<br /><br />"Some people were more drunk than others" - the wise words of Lindsay the great<br /><br />Although i appear to have missed all the great gossip starting behaviour - damn it!!!<br /><br />As the evening went by i found myself calling sam churchill "samuel" as he insisted on calling me victoria. It was most bizarre but the joke - if you can call it that - has continued. He was so proud to remember to call me tori - i think i may have commented on the fact that he always calls me victoria and he overheard and said "have a whinge about it". Anyway to cut a long story short, I believe that was the first and last time he will ever call me tori. unless the joke gets old - probably will.<br /><br />sarah stole a jimoen poster - curtesy of kathy not worrying about ripping it off the wall.<br /><br />After being chased out of the tivoli at midnight we were promptly forced onto busses. Gherkin ended up not on our one - but we found her later. And we were shipped off to fridays - the crappiest club in brisbane..........<br /><br />Where i found a joker down my dress. One of charles's. HOW BIZARRE. I remember putting it there, but i thought i gave it back - obviously i didn't....we at least i hope i didn't. most disturbing and also quite amusing - especially for those present when i discovered it.<br /><br />Then we got cold and went home - boys gave us their jackets<br /><br />Then we got up and i went to work - everyone noticed my hair - yey!!<br /><br />Then i went to soccer and dragged julian along - he looked like a sheep in his huge woolly jumper.<br /><br />there was a lot of shirt swapping as both teams appeared to be wearing red. i had to swap my shirt too - eek. I don't think anyone saw although adam kerr may have turned around at the crucial moment - i really hope not.<br /><br />The prize for the biggest whinger goes to.......drum roll please......adam kerr - for his lovely i-don't-wan't-to-be-goalie number. congratulations adam. and too add to this glory, as soon as he decided to go for a run and leave the goal open, he was knocked down by the opponent - hollywood!!<br /><br />And that's all i have to say about that urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acoustic_soul:15124 2003-05-07T13:20:30Z 2003-05-07T13:20:30Z I was just on my way through the door at home yesterday, when i heard the phone ringing. So instead of letting the machine get it i ran to answer the call.........<br /><br />ME: Hello are you there? (the answering machine had already started).....Hello, Victoria here......<br /><br />PHONE: Hi. It's Lauren<br /><br />ME:WHO????? (oh god i can't have actually heard that)<br /><br />PHONE: Lauren.....<br /><br />ME: OH (pause) Hi (oh god it is her, shit shit shit shit shit fuck what the hell is she calling me for?)<br /><br />yes that's right my evil ex-friend called me. <br /><br />She began by asking me if i had received her emails - YES<br /><br />She then asked me why i hadn't written back - to which i replied "what do you want me to say?"<br /><br />Silence<br /><br />More Silence<br /><br />"I don't know i just thought you'd write back that's all"<br />"well i didn't know what to write" (bullshit, but she bought it)<br /><br />"Fair enough"<br />"YEP"<br /><br />Silence again<br /><br />"I'm still the same person you know.....I mean i'm honest and everything, and i think we could be friends again.....I mean that was like 4 years ago now don't you think we should be over it by now...and i think it was both our faults blah blah blah"<br /><br />At this point i wish i had the guts to tell her what she sounds like, but i didn't have the heart plus i guess there's no point in being mean. But it's not a great way to win someone over - telling them that the falling out was their fault in the first place. I should have taped it and played it back to her.<br /><br />Anyway, call me crazy, but i thought we ended up not friends because she was the same (crazy psychopath - ok so maybe not quite), and i am over it, i just don't particularly want to be her friend. She's ok to talk to i guess, but i used to cry every night because she was so mean to me - why would i want to go back there.<br /><br />She was calling me from work (in NZ) - dodgy. Fair enough to call a friend from work, but an international call might be pushing it a little?<br /><br />Then she decided that she would probably call me again on the weekend - i don't think she picked up my "why-do-i-have-to-talk-to-you?" vibe on the phone.<br /><br />Anyway, something to look forward to urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acoustic_soul:15072 2003-04-30T07:11:44Z 2003-04-30T07:11:44Z well i'm less stressed than before but have the same amoung of work to do - bizarre! my mind is not normal!!<br /><br />had a strange phone call to John in the mechatronics lab from the law library - odd ramblings - charles's fault.<br /><br />ran into the uber geek from high school today - who apparently had met charles before - freaky - and had too long conversation - more odd ramblings<br /><br />ran into emma - school friend - and edwina - netball ump who knows gherkin.....?<br /><br />so all in all an eventful day<br /><br />wow - spent an unusually large amount of time with charles today - procrastination urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acoustic_soul:14708 2003-04-29T10:43:50Z 2003-04-29T10:43:50Z well as per bloody usual i've left everything to the last minute. eek so much work so little time.<br /><br />Xmen 2 was quite good considering i had no idea what it was going to be about - Go HP for giving us free tickets and free coke and popcorn!!!<br /><br />I thought i had something interesting to write today, but evidently i don't<br /><br />sorry to disappoint<br /><br />the only thing i can think of that i did today is cooking. i think i should be able to get away with not cooking anything until next week sometime - i'll just have to microwave everything!!
