"Tik tok on the clock but the party don't stop" - Tik Tok, Ke$ha

Hey guys, how is everyone doing? Well well well. So much has happened!

I guess i shall start with last Friday 26th.

Like a typical Friday i had Geology, but today my teacher was dressed like he was going to go on a safari. No lie. He had on the khaki top and pants - which were of course belted high on his waist - and he was wearing those sandals with the Velcro straps. Me and Jen were talking about how we figured he even had the hat at home because he used to be a geologist. Jeremy and I were half talking during the lecture when we could, he's fun to talk to and when i got home i added him on facebook. Later on in the night he accepted! Go me haha.

This was the day i also had a interview with Marshalls Home Goods store, i'm telling everyone from New Zealand that its like Farmers just without the electronics. They had rung me on either Tuesday or Wednesday? Can't remember which day it was but it was done for 4o'clock. I had also made plans to pick up Katy after my interview for a GNI (Girls Night In). Anyway, i made my way to Marshalls and was actually in there for 1/2 hour! I talked to 2 managers as well.

After that was over i decided to put gas in the car, when i had done that as i was going through 40th and Bell the car decided to almost die on me... AGAIN... I swear the car hates me. Fucking scary but i made in through the intersection okay and parked in the Phoenix Hospital car park. I rung Katy and talked to her for almost 30min while giving the car a break, after that it seemed to have improved and i started driving again. I made it to 31st and Greenway when i felt like the car was gonna lose power again so i pulled into a parking lot. I rung Phyllis this time and told her what was happening, i then asked what the H and C stood for and after i said it was reading Hot she immediately said to turn it off. I didn't know to keep an eye in that! Dad never told me. Car was bloody overheating. By some cosmic occurrence i had parked outside of a auto shop! So i went in and asked if anything could be done to get me home. Nothing could. So Phyllis said she would come get me and follow me home, when she arrived we tried the car again and when i revved the engine the needle immediately started to climb towards hot. So we just locked the steering wheel and put the steering wheel bar on and she dropped me off at Katy's.

I got to calm down and chillax with Katy for a few hours because her grandma was letting her use her van. When i arrived at Katy's she immediately attacked me with a hug and just looked at me and handed me a smoke. She knows when i want one and when i don't. Around 7:30ish (?) her grandparents came and picked us up, i hugged her grandpa before i even got in the van! We dropped them at their house and came back to mine so i could get some jeans on and a different top. Katy made a mix cd and i was absolutely shocked when MY grandma (on dads side) added me on facebook!!! She said she only made it to have a better way of getting in contact with me which is cool. We left the house about 8:30ish (again i can't remember) and headed towards Kylee's (Katy's other BFF) so we could decide what we were going to do, i had grabbed 2 Miller Lites from the fridge to start our party early. :)

We ended up going out to Surprise for a party that Jake invited Katy too. He has like a monster crush on her, it was kinda funny to watch! The party was kinda fun, meet a few cool people and watched some epic beerpong battles! Had a shot of something while i was there too. Met this guy Dan and got his number before i left. He was quite intoxicated and very touchy-feely with not only me but the other females there. We left about 1:30am and Kylee drove us to her place then Katy and I headed to Jack n' the box before heading home. I guess we got back to mine around 3:30am and Jake was texting Katy all the way back and was put out that he didn't kiss her goodbye so she said if you want it come and get it. So he asked for directions which i gave. We had hardly been home for 10min before this guy Adam called saying we should come over and hang out. I was extremely tired but had decided to go anyway. We got there and i met him and this guy Devon. They were beyond drunk!! We each had a shot and decided to play beerpong. Me and Devon verses Katy and Adam. Surprisingly to me, I won the game for me and Devon! I made the last 2 cups and prolly the last 4 cups in reality. Adam was all over Katy, i know Katy wasn't appreciating the forcefulness of his actions but didn't want to hurt him. Devon was all over me, i didn't mind the kissing but he would not take 'no' for an answer and keep trying to put his hands up my top and down my pants. I finally text Katy when he finally managed to get me into his room, and that was only because i knew we were leaving soon, saying "are we leaving soon". It almost said "save me" and that was what she was expecting it to say! I said goodbye and Adam held up Katy again so i just left and started the car waiting for her to come out. By this time it was 4:30am. Katy finally came out and Adam followed saying that we shouldn't leave, he would come with us, we should just stay. I had only had a shot and a beer in that last hour! I was fine and really just wanted to go home. Devon had made me feel uncomfortable because he was just not respecting me!

We made it home safely and were in the door by 5am!! Turns out Josh was online so i just gave Katy my laptop and she was talking to him until i PTFO (Passed The Fuck Out) at 6:30. I asked Josh the next day what time she went to sleep, he said 8am. We woke up at 10:30 and Katy had to leave straight away cos her grandma needed the car.

I managed to get a 2 hour nap in the afternoon which helped me a lot! Ben had sent the tops dad had given him while he was in NZ and they arrived today. Ben's mum had gift-wrapped them for me, i tried to be good but i was dying to know what he had bought!! So i opened them and i have to say - he did a great job. He bought me my Canterbury Crusaders jersey!!! It's the one they wear when they play. He also got me a top that says "I still love you Dan"... You know as in Dan Carter. Dad and Phyllis were going out for dinner so i was gonna be babysitting my brothers. Started to watch Halloween but was smart enough to stop it before it got gorier than what it already was! Its on tomorrow night so i think i will record it! I was in bed by 12 and PTFO again!!

Sleep for 10 hours straight! Dad and i finally went to get the car! He showed me how to put water in and he drove it back home while i drove his new car. I like his car haha. Grandma and grandpa were coming over for dinner at 4 which was cool. I showed grandma how to write on peoples walls and how to send private messages.

Yesterday i got the best phone-call ever!!!! Marshalls Home Goods offered me employment!!!! Of course i fucking accepted!! I have orientation on Friday which goes from 1-9pm. I get a 1 hour dinner break as well. I will have to skip out on the Lab part of Geology but thats okay as long as i am there for the exam during the lecture.

So, a lot has happened right? I got drunk, the car overheated, partied, slept for 10 hours, and GOT A JOB!!!

[Breathes a sigh of relief] Dad is now off my back about getting a job.

ohh and Katy wants me to go and see Nightmare On Elm Street when it comes out at the end of April. I said if we could get Dj and Ilya to go so i could hold on to Dj i would love it haha but we might find other guys. This guy Mike who was at the party in Surprise offered to go and he let me hold on to him which i thought was super sweet of him! The fact that he's into Katy but wants to hang with me and will let me hold his arm in a death grip!!

Katy told me today that she was talking to Ilya last night and he said that "he doesn't know what Dj thinks about me but thinks you guys would probably be better off as friends with benefits." That kinda sucks if he's right. I would rather be in a relationship. But oh well, i've only hung with the guy once but text him quite often!

Hope you are enjoying your week!

Everything and Anything

"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell rock."

Haha.. Sorry but it was so addictive to sing to and its at the start of Lethal Weapon - which is what i am watching right now.

Anywho

Time to get into writing this blogpost. I feel guilty with myself for constantly putting it off.

I did write ideas down on paper during math class this week as what i wanted to write.

Speaking of my math class... The people i sit with are very, very lameee! I mean one is this chick Sarah who i don't even know if i can explain. She has this pregnant chick who takes notes for her in class while she does other homework. I hope she fails. And this is her 2nd time taking this level of math! Its not that hard. I mean i admit to having trouble working out fractions. Then theres this guy Eric. I don't know who old he is but he is super annoying. What frustrated me even more in the last 2 weeks was that they were being absolute hippo-critical (?) of this group of girls! I admit they were being slightly catty to this chick at another table but she did bring it upon herself when she pulled out her laptop and went onto facebook. Eric and Sarah decided to be like them and gossip:

" I hope they just shut up today"

"I wonder if i would get away with bringing in waterballons" -Eric

On Monday 8th i presented my speech to my Public Speaking class. I thought it went well enough. I was right, haha, i got 61/62 :) My 'official' time was 5:59 BUT the guy who was timing me took off about 30-40seconds!! I love him haha.

Heres the link to my speech:

Lemme know what you think of it. I would love to show you the powerpoint i used cos it was pretty awesome!

So far i am still enjoying my classes! I don't mind having classes all week, its enjoyable to be out of the house every morning. Geology, for the most part, is a lot of fun. Also Psychology and public speaking are fun!! Although being awake enough at 7:30 for Psych is hard but walking over wakes me up enough.

Speaking of my Public Speaking class, hehe see my play on words, there is this super cute guy in my class. I mean i find him really cute and i have a crush on him but if i dont get to talk to him soon then i may just admire from afar. I added him on facebook and got a few replies back, he took awhile to reply so i messaged him my cell BUT haven't had a text or call from him. Kind of disappointed. I was hoping for a text. I sent the message last Friday, to be honest im not sure he has even checked facebook this week. I wrote on his wall that i thought he did pretty good on his speech Wednesday.

I didn't have any luck with those 3 job interviews i had 2 weeks ago?

I have applied at plenty more place i just still haven't caught a break yet. I wish places would call back! Get dad off my back, and i will get to buy the car. Employers want to hire people with experience but the only way for me to get experience is to be hired. Bad cycle.

Did anyone do anything special for Valentines Day? Get chocolate? or roses?

I got neither but i did get to spend the day/night with Kelsey which i consider to be even better!! We rented Penelope and Definitely, Maybe. Both were SUPER adorable! I loved Penelope more. We also watched the Olympics, did facials and Monday morning Kelsey cut my hair! Yes you read right. I finally got a haircut. Shorter than it normally would be but so nice. I wonder if my crush noticed? Hopefully.

Saturday im going hiking with Katy and i am super excited. I get to drive down to her place, i squared it with dad.

Two Sundays ago i went for a hike with Phyllis and my brothers, actually near Katy's, while dad went and looked at cars. By the time we got back from the hike, dad had bought a NEW car!!! Yes i am that much closer to getting his old car. Just need to find a job.

Here are the pics from the hike with Phyllis:

Lately i have been feeling the urge to write a story.

I need to come up with an outline and good summary.

I have an idea but im not sure which genre i want to use.

Im thinking either strictly romance, mystery, or murder.

OR combing all three genres into a romance murder mystery.

Actually, that is a great idea :-)

Yup, i think thats about all thats new with me.

New Semester in a Wet and Windy Week

It's been awhile since i've blogged and i do feel like i have let myself down. I said i was going to write one about 5 times before this week, now i've finally decided to sit down and write one!

In honor of the rain I decided to watch Poseidon :) I thought it seemed fitting.

I had to walk in the rain today, luckily I didn't get wet going to Math but on the way home the puddles in the street turned into a mini river. Needless to say my foot and bottom of my jeans got satcherated. Also I should mention I had an umbrella :) I was also able to wear my black trench coat.

This week classes started back up. I was super nervous Tuesday because i only had Math and i am super bad at it. Turns out we are starting at, like, kindergarten level maths - today we learnt about adding and subtracting. I'm being honest! Supposedly its going to get harder, and I hope so because I have it 4 days a week. I'm sitting at the middle table in the back with 2 guys, Eric and Sam. Eric is probably early 30s and Sam is my age. Yesterday this girl Lauren was sitting with us but she wasn't here today. I like Sam cos when he asked whereIi was from all he said was "All Blacks!!!" I was like "dude you rock!!" :) We should get along just fine.

Wednesday I had my 7:30am class which was Psych, I think i'm really going to enjoy that class. I didn't mind the early start and I picked a table with a fairly cute guy called Andy and Kimberley who said she's taking this class to hopefully get to know her teenage son better. Theres this other guy, Zack, who seems cute atm. :) Ha ha.

I also had my Public Speaking class on Wednesday at 10:30, I was surprised when I saw Doug waiting to go in as well. He was in my English 102 class this past semester! Unfortunately we were put in groups and he's not in mine, oh well. Theres actually a few cute guys in that class! I know one is called Skylar :) Unique name which is why i remember it.

Tomorrow I have Geology from 9am to 2:45pm... Long day for me. Hopefully we will get out early because the lecture ends at 11:45 and the lab doesn't start until 12pm but as it's the 1st day I doubt we will be doing anything else except going over the syllabus.

So, in my last blog i mentioned I was going to the doctors on Tuesday 12 to get my bloods drawn etc.. The bloods weren't as bad as I thought it would be, though when the results came back I found I have a slightly higher cholesterol than I should. Other than that everything is fine with me.

Since my last blog I had a movie night with RJ, we watched Invictus and Halloween 2. Admittedly I hid for pretty much all the scary parts but other than that Halloween 2 was okay. I didn't watch much of Invictus, I just couldn't get into it until the end where South Africa played NZ - then I was yelling at the TV. :) I should have picked Up In The Air with George Clooney but we can watch that next time. Oh, dad also insisted on meeting RJ before we left. It was awkward for me, he said it wasn't bad. No idea what dad thinks of him though, lol, doesn't actually matter. We're only friends. I love his mum and dad though, they are so much fun to chill with.

Nothing has changed on the job front either. I've lost count on how many places i've actually applied to though on Tuesday i filled out an online application for a part-time housekeeping job at The Marriott hotel which I would absolutely love to get! Talking to my (step) dad on Monday made me realize that I do want to work in the Travel & Tourism industry.

On Saturday 16 I had lunch with my dad, I knew what he wanted to talk about so I was able to have some answers already formed. He asked what I wanted to do in 1year and in 5years, where i saw myself career wise, job, University, etc.. Found out that I will be able to buy the car off dad for $500 when I get a job, will have to take out a loan but paying that back will give me credit and credit is everything here - good credit that is.

Dad and I went to, what I now like to call our place, The Codfather.. I had bangers and mash.. HEAVEN! I have not had that since mum last cooked it for me. I miss her cooking.

I also got to talk to my mummy!! She actually rang me. I was in shock that she did. It was good talking to her though, I miss her.

I went and saw Leap Year on Monday with Kelsey, Mel and 2 more friends of hers. Mel got me in for free because she works at that Harkins theatre. The movie was sooo freaking cute!! I posted this on Facebook after I got back home:

"Ah Leap Year was sooo cute!! Defo worth seeing it :) Plus that guy is wow. Hot! His accent... Mum, I think you should be worried if i go to Ireland :P"

And I stand by that.

On Monday I was also able to finish all 7 Harry Potter books :) I was sufficiently proud of myself. Ohh and i also bought The Half Blood Prince on Saturday.. I was driving past Walmart on my way home and I was like "I'm just gonna pop into Walmart" and I saw it and had to have it! Dad would have bought it but I had to get the special features whereas dad would just buy the movie.

Hayden's been making me jealous by sending me pictures of the snow he's getting. Dork. Told him to make me a snow angel today and pxt it to me, so far nothing. I also asked if he could build me a snowman.. Yep he didn't, though to be fair I think he was up the mountains skiing when i asked cos he said "It wasn't the right snow." I will continue asking though.

I think thats everything?

No doubt i will have missed certain things, but they were obviously not important enough to be included in todays blog.
