Mum and the Dogs Visit

Mum came around not long ago for a visit. She brought the dogs with her to see the place for the first time. I think they liked it, though I can't tell for sure. They did a lot of running around the place and barking. She had a lot of things for me to sort through, to figure out what I want to keep and what to throw out. She's always getting me to do that stuff. It's because I have a lot of things just sitting over at her place and she doesn't want to keep them sitting around forever.


Jesse jumping up to see me on her visit

Kat is moving to Calamvale

Kat is moving to Calamvale and Kat doesnt want to. Kat likes talking in the 3rd person cuz it annoys those reading over her shoulder. they smell and should go away. hint hint

but yeh. moving to Calamvale sumtime next week. it has an electronic security gate. but i still dont want to go. it defeats the point of moving. its still gonna take forever to get to this stupid course. and now instead of having a sweet as view of the city im gonna have a great view of ppls cars getting stolen! yay!! cant wait. i have cool neighbours here, the the guy upstairs is hell funny and always comes and says hey or tries leaning over the balcony to talk and i make a comment about him falling and he leans back haha its amusing and he's hot but i cant remember his name. im so rude. he's like 23 or summin. he's also told me his age but i forgot that 2. but yeh. other than the body corp i like it. pretty much everyone who lives in my complex is in their 20s. n most ppl own their apartments. but they're funny and have fun parties. im getting a new car tho. dad gets Bernie back. im gonna miss her but im getting a car thats cheaper to run cuz bmws suck down the fuel summin chronic. im prolly getting a lancer. Glen was gonna sell me his 2001 lancer, he's lowered it a bit, done it up (he's a auto-electrician/ mechanic) and put a $3000 stereo in it. n cuz he has 2/3 motorbikes, 2 vans and a 200sx and the lancer he didnt think he needed the lancer (sum ppl have way too much money. he's only almost 28) n he was gonna sell it to me for $7000. cuz im his best mates daughter n i rule. so maybe his reasoning wasnt the last part but i know he's thinking it haha. im so fookin bored n ive been babbling shit for ages. all day really. so i gotta find another car prolly. oh well, im not paying for it. n since i dont want to move and dad knows i dont. since im gonna be an hr away from my friends from my course and an hr away from my old school mates and i dont have a choice dads gonna help me pay for petrol cuz otherwise its not fair. i bet he only wants to live there cuz sum lady lives near by. when i was looking for houses he said to look around Shailer Park (his sorta ex Foxy lives there) damn he's a slut. i tell him that all the time. haha but he's not as bad as Glen. Glen generally has minimum of 6 girlfriends at the one time. he's such a man whore. I rarely ever address him as Glen anymore, its just "hey man whore" and he grins n says hey. he loves it he's so proud. but its not like his gfs have much of a brain anyway, and im pretty sure they all know but dont care cuz he's pretty hot. see? they have no brains. and its obvious he's just after sex since none of them have personalities.
man ive been rambling heaps. i sent this mass email and that was all rambling. but tash said i mentioned sydney and her agreeing far too many times. but thats just cuz she smells. but she was pleased that she got the 1st msg. but thats just cuz her name is dashity doo so she was 1st in the addy book. so she's not really special she just likes to think so :P im a bitch. oh well.
anyhoe. i think if if keep rambling itll go on forever n im in such a random mood im thinkin of a kajillion things at once. no really, i am.
oh damn. i forgot about the 3rd person thing. oh well. ill just do it to every1 i talk to 2day hahaha. dads gonna get sooooo annoyed. cant wait. i gotta get him back somehow since he's making me move to the middle of no where. ok so not exactly but its nowhere near i wanna be. n its still like 12 hrs away from sydney so really this move is useless. maybe if i sit there with the remote control opening and closing the security gate constantly he'll get sick of it quickly and let us move. cept we got a 6 month lease. damn. maybe i should do sum work. cya

More Things You Don't Need to Know...

Last week I brought home a lot of old computer equipment from work as they were wanting to clear out the hallway of all the computer rubbish so they could use the space to have meetings or something. I was able to scavenge a few items including about two dozen keyboards, lots of mice, graphics cards, network cards, monitors and various other bits and pieces. I've managed to put together a very basic system from all the parts and am currently playing around with Mandrake Linux 10.0, trying to set it up as a server. I also tested out a very old laser printer last night. I didn't know if it would work, but it did, suprisingly well.

I'm also currently writing a play called Framing Harmony which is hopefully going to be performed at the ACU Alive! arts festival in August. It's a musical comedy about this girl called Harmony and this guy called Elijah... oh its too much to go into, so just come and see it in August.

Been playing Pikmin at night while chontie is asleep or falling asleep. She always makes me wear headphones because the noise irritates her (I don't know why). Anyway for those who don't know the story, you play this little space guy called "Olimar" who has crashlanded on a strange planet and you have to find parts of your ship with the help of these even littler guys called Pikmin. I've just finished day 7 out of 30 and have collected 7 parts out of 30. Last night I hurried to collect 2 parts in one day as a few nights ago I had missed out on collecting a part.

The other day I bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye. I've been wanting to get it for a while now ever since I read a copy from the library a while back. I was watching the start of Six Degrees of Separation, where Paul's thesis is basically about how lots of people go crazy about this book "Catcher in the Rye" and shoot people or themselves. There's a big conspiracy theory about John Lennon's death involving the CIA and everything. Mark Chapman was apparently hearing voices telling him to shoot John Lennon or something, but he also said that he did it to draw attention to "Catcher in the Rye". Anyway I wanted to read the book again and I'm up to chapter four, just after Holden has been in the bathroom with Stradlater, who is shaving before his big date with a girl Holden used to live next door to.

Well, I better get back to writing my play. They are going to want to start rehearsing soon. At the moment they'd have half a play to rehearse. I'll just get myself a coffee.

1 Terabyte email

I logged into my gmail account lot long ago and was suprised to find it reporting that my usual 1gig of space (1000MB) had been raised to 1000000MB, that's 1 million Megabytes or 1 terabyte. I checked Google news and found that they were "testing the waters" with 1000GB limits because a few other companies have raised their storage limits.

My question is: How am I ever going to fill up 1 terrabyte of space with email?

According to this website a terrabyte is enough to hold 1000 copies of the Encyclopædia Britannica. I'd better start emailing some more. At the moment I've used up 6MB, only 999994MB to go.

the internet is a evil place

Well I have a new computer, it is cool.

But for some reason it kept just installing programs on its own, so i called the every trusty jerry and he told me to download adaware and spybot, and i had over 100 spyware programs on the computer. Now they are all gone and iam gonna update my windows.

stupid evil internet, it so reminds me of that epesode of futurama where they go on the net and get attacked by ads

yep whell ok

My GameCube

Chontie bought me a GameCube game that I can play on my old TV! The game that came with the GameCube was a promotional game and only ran in 60htz mode. My Television only runs in 50htz and so when I tried playing the game, all I got was vetical flicker. I got it working on my computer however.

So now I have Super Smash Brothers Melee. I was going to get Metroid Prime, but I'll get that a bit later. I still need to get a memory card as I cannot save my games at the moment. Smash Bros. is pretty good, but I need at least another controller, because it's primarily a multiplayer game.

I'm also bidding for a few games on eBay, Zelda and Pikmin. I knew this GameCube was going to leave me broke. Oh well; I'm selling my Nintendo64 to subsidise some of the costs and my GameBoy Color to put towards a GameBoy Advance, but I might wait until they bring out the new GameBoyDS.

Well, I'm sure you all want to hear more, but I'll stop there :)


Photo of my GameCube
hello everybody,
well i thought i might just post a message. I dont really like this site cause it keeps screwing up my internet explorer, and ihave a brand new computer. Well anyway.

So, how has everybody been? i just saw Troy with nat, shantell and marcus i liked it.... and not just cause orlando bloom was in it, but he was nakie in one scene so that was a bonus but you couldnt see anything, damn camera men... hmm maybe in the bloopers or something.
whell it is 2:37am on saturday early morning and i am cold and not tired,im gonna get a hair cut tomorrow, my hair grows too damn fast.

Whell at the moment i have been working a lot on uni, ive gotta do these weired assignemtnes about making a webpage about myself but from other peoples perspective which also represent my time space and conceptual understandind, i had to do an image like that too, and i have to make a narrative. My narrative is disturbing but different. but not disturbing in like a bad way, its got a twist and its dark and odd.

\umm josh asked me to write about my experience with joining. whell this is it, i was in the library at the rbh and it didnt work, then it did. i was at the rbh cause whilst i was at uni i got a phonecall to go to the emergency cause my sister dislocated her knee, so i handed in my assignment which i was just putting the finishing touches on and forgot to re link an important picture (website) and went to the hospital. then today i went on 7 different busses. I went first to rbh then transferred to qut then quickly relinked the picture then took the wrong bus then took a bus to the city then ate subway for lunch then took a bus to uq, got lost found uq connect, got 3months unlimited internet then got a bus to the city then got a bus home then got a taxi to the movies, ate dinner then watched troy, nat drove me home and here i am now

interesting isnt it

well im gonna stop writing, you all probably dont understand my incoherent babble, but thats just me and is part of a huge packgage which makes me soo special... awwwww

seeya all sometime

my wish of the millenium

is that sydney and brisbane were closer together. i took the day off today. sitting in financial management for 4 hrs didnt sound very appealing, and neither did the 4 hrs of travel to get there. and i talked to aj on the phone for ages so that was much more appealing.
i had to go to the orthodontist today. it hurt, i have a metal band around one of my teeth now and its painful.
im moving to ormeau or coomera in a couple of weeks. im having a house warming in the june hols. and if all goes to plan aj should be there then if his leave doesnt get cancelled again, so u guys can meet him if u come.
only 6 weeks left of this semester then the fun stuff comes. and i'll be working in a 5 star restaurant 2 days a week, and a bistro for 2 (hopefully in the bar most of the time) and then classes inbetween.
i read too much. or at least too fast. i read a 750p with like size 8 font in 3 days and then ive got about 50 pages left of the last book in a series. each book is 300 or so pages and its 7 books long. too much time on the train. but i need a new book but ive read all mine a billion times and i dont like borrowing books from the library cuz im never in bris during opening hrs to return them, and i dont live near a library anyways. damn city.
anyways, i think ive bored u all enuff.

Curiosities

Just by saying "I believe you", implies doubt.

There is that moment of anxiety just after consenting to the question, "Can you do me a favour?"

It seems many people base many of their life choices on the advice of their Grandparents as a child (usually involving a flashback scene).

Don't you hate it when you walk into a room and you go to turn on the light, but you miss it and walk into darkness?

It's the worst thing since unsliced bread. I hate that unsliced bread.

Remember in school when someone tried to let someone else in the line behind them and it was right in front of you, you would get angry, but if they let them in before them, everything was fine.

There is no answer to the question, "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

Welcome to the Gooey Blog

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd start this blog and send invitations to the group to join. Ben and Nat came over today to pick up a CD and they came up with the name of the blog based on a gooey blob of U-Tack on the wall. The idea is to provide a place for people to put down their thoughts and ideas, for discussion and communication and just to help friends keep in touch.

Please help keep this blog alive by blogging often,

from the Friends of Gooey Blog on the Wall. Best wishes.


Nat and Ben on the day of the creation of this blog, determined to keep their eyes open.
