My List

Something’s seriously fucked up with my Vuze program hey.  I can’t download anything and when I do it just goes VERY slow lol.  I dunno if it’s just here and they are cutting down on piracy or what but it never used to do this.  I think it works ok at my mates house!  I’ve played with the settings and everything but yeah I guess they’ve put a holt to it?  I dunno.  Just annoying because my Eurovision 2010 download is still at 95.8% and has been for many many months, and I STILL haven’t seen it.  I know right, this absolute Eurovision fan has missed one year of viewing out of about the last 5!  GAH!  I already know who won it though – grrr.  I guess the next one will be upon us before we know it!
Speaking of Eurovision, did anyone else see on the news this morning that ABBA may be reforming?  Haha, I wasn’t a fan of them AT ALL growing up and I’m still not really.  I can sing and bop along to their very very gay pop tunes but there’s nothing fantastic about them *prepares self for abuse from fellow readers* 😀  I just found it cool that they kinda just ‘disappeared’ back in 1982 (I wasn’t quite born then) but they never actually broke up.  So now we’re gunna have another lot of old people clogging up the charts (*cough* at you Take That and Ace Of Base).  So many bands are coming back.  I guess they ran out of money just like everyone else and are going back to what they know how to do.

Anyway, beats me why I’m talking about that.  It’s 7:16am – I can smell freshly cut grass all around me.  Amazed hay-fever hasn’t set in, because I know my mum gets it pretty badly.  I remember riding the ride-on-lawnmower back on the farm – to mow our grass it pretty much took most of the afternoon 🙂  Apparently mum gave it a go, but it’s still way too wet and the mower got bogged haha whoops.  JESUS CHRIST I think I just saw a spider crawl under my laptop screen.  Oh well I am out in public.

Speaking of, there’s a spider hanging around on the walls in my bathroom at the moment, but I don’t mind him there because for some reason there’s all these annoying little black bugs flying around everywhere!  I dunno if it’s because of how wet it’s been lately or what, but they are really bloody annoying!  All three of us in the house have been spraying everywhere with Pea-Beu tryna get rid of the fuckers.  Like they don’t seem to bite or anything, they are just in the house and beats me why.  Even when Ben was over he was wondering why there were so many.  It’s not like there’s food lying around?  Or maybe there’s a dropped piece of pizza somewhere lol.

Jeff moves out in a few weeks.  Boy oh boy, I could re-read that sentence over and over.  He is up there with Jared as being my worst housemate ever.  Anyone who hasn’t seen how annoying he is should go back to my "My housemate is a tosser" entry =)  Appropriately titled I do think so myself.  I will be very glad when he moves out, but with the upcoming rent increase, I’m wondering how long I will be here also.  We’ve been getting along okay lately though, like I’ve joked around about him that his bed makes too much noise when he’s having sex and I can hear every single screetch. 
I’m still pretty itching to explore another city.  It’d be like restarting my life.  I know moving to Brisbane was.  I think I’m most scared of leaving all the established relationships I’ve made here to go somewhere where I know nobody haha.

Booked my flights last night, because the flight specials end at midnight tonight or tomorrow night (so anyone wanting to book flights within Australia should probably do so quickly) 🙂  So yeah $59 each way to Sydney and back ain’t too bad I don’t think! =)  At this stage it looks like a group of us are crashing at my crush’s rellies place (yeah that won’t be weird at all! lol) and I’m staying a few extra days in the harbour city just because I feel I deserve a decent week off.  I’ll probably be recovering from a hangover for a few days after Homesexual however.  Who cares, I want a nice hotel and to feel lush amongst amazing bedsheets!  So I applied for the week off at work last night.  Too bad if they don’t give me it 🙂

Okay so I’m gunna write down a list of things I can think of that I wanna do this year:

• Get my passport
• Travel overseas with said passport – at this stage I’ve decided my destinations to be major ones as it’s my first trip and I’m a little uneducated about the smaller countries and towns – I’ve even thought backpacking may be an option for el-cheapo accommodation, but yes a fair bit of research needs to be done on that yet – anyway so London in the UK and New York, LA and maybe San Fran and Las Vegas.  I realise these are major places, but yeh I need to stick to what seems less scary and where I know people actually speak English before I can go visit Java and such haha.  Thailand’s actually pretty attractive too – I mean geez even my little brother has been there!  I did have to laugh when signing in facebook one day, I saw him and his mates with their arms around a ladyboy.  Yeah, bit of a surprise, but I guess they are everywhere there.  I really need you well-travelled people to educate me.  Ask me anything about Australia and I can tell you a fair bit about travelling around it!  Only two Aussie states I haven’t been to, and that’s Tasmania and Northern Territory, so I guess they are on the list too, but my international virginity must be broken first.
• Get another skin check
• Quit my job/Get another job – not sure which one I wanna do here yet – lately I’ve been thinking of a second job WITH this job, but I know I’d be absolutely fucked lol
• Keep saving for a house deposit – that’s pretty much my central savings goal these days.  Eight years of paying rent really does my head in sometimes, and I figure getting rental places when I’m older might be a little more difficult.
• Uni – boy oh boy has this shitted me off over the years – I’ve realised I can’t just jump into what I wanna do.  If this involves taking steps back to take steps forward, I’m gunna have to do it.  I just feel stupid everyone else is graduating uni and I can’t even get into the bloody thing lol
• Have fun.  I think I’ve done pretty well with this one =)  I generally think I have a pretty fun life.  I guess that’s the perk of not being a uni student – i earn money to spend it on fun things.
• Plan better.  Anyone who knows me knows i suck at double-booking or forgetting shit’s happening – I’ve gotta sort out a decent way of planning things
• Get a smart phone and join the 21st century.  I figure this might also help with my planning.  I can put things in a calendar in my crappy little nokia but half the time it doesn’t even go off, and it’s annoying having to type it all in.  I know last year I used to create events for myself on facebook just be

cause I knew it was somewhere where I would see it coming up – haha how lame I know.

It seems like a lot for one year doesn’t it.  I guess they should be 5 year goals.  My main ones are saving a house deposit and then actually getting a full-time job so it doesn’t look like I don’t have a hope in hell of paying it off.  Although I’ve always been one to despise interest on things, and I’ve even wondered if it’s at all possible to save up the entire amount for a house and avoid the load altogether.  Haha, yes that would mean I’d be claiming my superannuation before I’d be able to afford that =)  I think people just want the security, especially when you’ve got a family.

Wow I totally forgot what the point of this entry even was.  I don’t think it was anything.  I like that I have a list though =)  Feels kinda cool.  I kinda wish I could make it flash on my diary home page or something though.
