Wooooo, I'll tell you about my weekend.

Well... I had a fight with my parents friday night....mehhhh. Kirby got another dance game, this one is better, it's more like DDR (Or PPR if you're Adam). Its fun as. I dance every day now. I went into town on saturday with maddy in her mums car (her mum is away till next saturday so we had better get a practice or two in). We went shopping for a bit, then decided we would crash doug and adams place to give Adam his birthday prezzie (finally!). We both got a boost juice (so jummy) and we went to cotton on. There is quite a bit of my stuff in there now, the main thing would be the von dutch ripoff truckers. If anyone remembers my font from last year they will be able to find the polo I did. I got some grey grandpa pants, then we went to buy sushi and head to Doug and Adams house.

We got there and rocked on Adams' bed, Maddy found some stains on his sheets!!! (I find it suspicious that she was even looking for them. I'm sure they're just ordinary stains....maybe that can be the topic of this 100th blog post?) Doug kept trying to poke me with his light saber. It was gross. He also whacked a magazine against my head when I had a milk crate on it. It really hurt. Then he threw the magazine at me. I can imagine him being a really annoying brother (I hope you read this, Doug!) After awhile everyone was going to work so Maddy and I went back to my house and watched "down with love" with Kirby. Kirby got it for my birthday and I only just watched it on the weekend! It's a good movie though.

Oh, I forgot to say, when Maddy came to pick me up of saturday, her car was really dirty, and I couldnt understand why. Anyway, on the way home that night she went down this back road to these huge potholes and drove through them a few times. It was pretty fun, but it was also a bit scary, and I bet the car's wheels are out of alignment now.We went to get something to eat at apco and pissed ourselves when we looked at the car because there were HUGE CHUNKS of mud all over it and it looked like it had been through a rally!

On sunday I pretty much sat around doing nothing and reading until kirby got home from work, then Maddy came over again, and we all went to adams house again, to dance the night away. I had sushi for tea again. Adam has some yummy chicken balls out and we all ate them (you have to get those again, adam). Then we sang. Most people think I am a crappy singer, but guess what!? I rocked! I kept getting really high scores! I bet I could sing anyone under the table! (at least on easy mode). Oh, Kirby and I also bet the 300bpm song on easy! We rock! I found out something that makes watching people dance ever funnier...look at their arses! Its so so so funny. Something else that is funny is Adam wearing two pairs of pants. Also! oh.... I forgot. No! I remember! If you see Adam online or in RL tell him he should get dreadlocks! his hair is at just the right colour and length. It would look cool,, and he would just be able to get free ones and then cut them out (which is the non posuer way of doing it, not spending 300 bucks)

We played till about 10:15 when my dad called and said we should probably think about heading home (I had to get up for work the next day) So we headed off home. When I got home I read and then went to bed.

I forgot my lunchtoday so I'm going to be VERY HUNGRY when I get home. oh yeah, three days to Dashboard!!!!! Wooooo, they are on rove tomorrow, so excited. I wonder if Chris or Rove is taller?

Stringa's Stuff

Adam never updates his blog anymore and thats really bad.Slack!

Here are some pictures for you...





woooooo. If you didn't know I want to make either a zine or an ezine depending. So if you want to be interviewed, or want to contribute, sayso in the comments. It's just gonna be about everything and anything, but the main things would probably be music design and street art and maybe political stuff too. But if you want to write about/ draw something else that is fine too. If it's a ezine it will be free and in colour, but if it's a real zine it will cost money and probably be b&w. I will set up a site to sell it on it it costs money. it wont cost much though. I need a name for it tooo. You can also talk about this at the wasabiklan forum if you would like.

 
I want some hot chocolate.:(

Anyway, I realised what dan said is kinda write, I should actually write more about what is happening in my life. I just think my life is totally *boring* thats all. But here goes nothing....

Okay, Today my sister told me when I first woke up that she didn't want to go to dashboard anymore. It's next thusday. This means I might not be able to go anymore so I'm pretty pissed off. I didnt sit with her on the train and I cried all the way to work. I listened to brand new and piebald and rocket summer on my md. I think I freaked out people on the train because I was crying so much. I havent decided when I will start talking to my sister again. She said its because she has to go to uni and then yelled at me that uni is not the same as tafe, where its the same thing every day and it doesnt mean anything. That offended me the most, like she thinks shes better cause she's going to uni. She's not. I'm sick of people think I'm dumb because I went to tafe.

Last night Nat rang me for like two minutes. She got a scholarship, which is kinda cool.

I'm meant to have band practice tomorrow morning... we havent practiced in ages I have been writing some new stuff....sometimes I just feel like the band is going nowhere though cause we dont practice enough. But its still cool being in a band. Maddy's mums has gone away so the house is free. She's scared of the ghost though. She came over the other night cause she didn't want to be alone with it. She watched me and kirby dance and then we did subtitle karaoke which is really fun. You write a song with the words of subtitles on whatever sbs show is on at the time. Maddy was pissing herself at me and kirby.

I got gold class tickets from work but I dont know what I want to see... maybe the new michael moore doco... There arent many good movies out at the moment.

I think I might go to the super session at timezone on sunday and do some crazy dancin' !! I think I am getting better. I'm not going to let kirby play my game anymore cause she was mean to me. I'm mena tot be going to a party on saturday night, but no one want sot go with me (what a surprise) so I might leave it and stay home and be depressed. *le sigh*

oh yeah.... dan said I should post thing I am working on at work, so here is one thing...



It is a swing tag!!!!! Woah! totally amazing and brilliant. If you liked this new format of longer blogging, please comment and tll me so. Otherwise I will cry and not bother.

The Apple Store (Australia)

Well, If I spent like, no money at all for a whole year I might be able to afford this. MAybe. I guess I dont need the i pod. Or the dual 30" cinema displays. Or 8gig of ram. Or the dual 250gig hard drives. I am being a bit greedy. If I was rich tho, this would be my computer.

 
Absolute Punk Forums - Not What I Would've Expected

Fuck Blink 182, for taking good bands on tour with them. Fuck them. I dont want teeny boppers to listen to the music I do. It sucks. Stupid teenies. Part of music is finding your own taste, not having it thrown at you. To me blink 182 are no different to some giant record company, they are old, they are rich, and they tell the kids what to wear and what to listen to. Fuck them.

are you emo?

sad sad sad sad sad. This is almost as bad as a how to look like avril article. Emo's so not about fashion. Oer maybe it is, I dunno, I'm still more punk than emo. But it just seems to lame to me.

 
BOOFY IS DEAD.


Yes, it's true, she died last night of depression, Shell is really sad now. Boofy was a good friend, she was a goth weirdo with fangs who liked giving skateboards and flowers as presents. She freakin rocked. Now she's gone, and Percy has replaced her. I am going to makea video montage of all my memories of boofy and the goodtimes we had.

RIP BOOFY

In other news, Alex gave harry a ball to play with. I think harry named the ball wilson. Sometimes he yells at the ball.

Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage

"Australian scientists have identified the chemical in smoke that makes plant seeds germinate after bushfires, a discovery that could reap huge benefits for the agricultural sector."

Wow.I remember being told when I was young that for pinetrees to grow the pinecone has to be burnt and then the seeds come out and I was amazed. It was like "fire is a *good* thing?". This sounds pretty cool, as longs as it doesnt have some crazy side effect. O.o <---- uses evil asian smiley (go read something awfulto know what I'm on about there)

I forgot to say earlier, I got a tamagothci. It's name is Harry. I will document it's life here from now on.

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Bootlegger who amassed £15m fortune from pirate CDs jailed

"The 11-year career of the world's biggest bootlegger came to an end yesterday when he was jailed for three and a half years for ripping off some of the pop industry's biggest stars to the tune of at least £15m.

Mark Purseglove, 33, drove a £104,000 Aston Martin, sported a Rolex Oyster watch and owned several homes in the most exclusive parts of London, all of which were funded by his international business in counterfeit CDs."

Crazy stuff. I wonder if it's even possibel to make this muc h off bootlegs anymore, seeing everyone can make them so easily now.

 

Well, I'll try to put one up each week now, just to see what I listen to most when I'm at work. I found out last night that Andrew lieks th epostal service and death cab! Giiiiiiii! so exciting. I saw a whole bunch of old friends last night. It was great. I had so much fun. Mel wants me to get he beach house for a weekend so we can all go up and hang out there. She said I can come up to warnambool with her one weekend.

Fletcher and Kal are sill eating lots of magic mushrooms. The other day kal collected up heaps and heaps of them, and they were eating them, then they found all these bugs in them! So they hd eaten a whole heap of bugs!

I keep Hearing Dashboard on the radio all the time now. Its really weird.

Beware of offensive blog post! Sweeping generalisations ahead!!!!!!!! (How to tell smart people from stupid people)

I'm really getting sick of certian pretentious gits being fuckheads and acting like they know everything. Get over it. So a few people like your work. WOW. I'm so impressed. I just can't stand people boasting and acting like they know everything about everything and they are smarter than they actually are. It's quite easy to tell the difference between someone who is actually smart, and someone who thinks they are. Try asking the person who thinks they are smart what their favourite books,movies , past-times are, and you'll soon realise.

1. Smart people are almost ALWAYS prolific readers. They aren't too cool to read or some bullshit like that. Saying you don't like reading is basically the same as saying I need nothing that a book could give me, a book could in no way enrich my life or my mind.

2. Smart people Don't walk around saying "smart" things. See that guy blabbing on about the arrt piece up on the wall in the gallery? See how he's making mistakes left right and center and basically bullshiting to look like he knows something? Then see the kid sitting back on a chair, not saying anything and writing something in his notepad. Which one do you think is smarter?

3. Smart people don't like teenmovies (as in, american pie). I know this. Every person I know who has liked teen movies is either a dumb jock or his equally dumb (potential) girlfriend.

4. Smart people are not loudmouths. See, I'm willing to admit I'm not smart when it comes to that :P (this isn't, how to tell cara from everyone else in the world who is not as good as her)

5. Smart people are generally more open minded. And less zenophobic. The dumb jock telling racist jokes at the bar was probably not an a grade student.

I'll finish up for now, cuase I just found out jk updated her website. But stay tuned for the next time I'm in a bad mood.

NEWS.com.au | RSPCA welcomes army action (July 1, 2004)

Thsi makes me wanna cry. Why would anyone do this? It just shows the type of people who join the army : total morons. Tehy deserve to have done to them what they did to the kittens.
