riviting :S

re title: Its not fun, when two are anoying brothers, one is a cankerous (yes cankerous) dad, thank god for mum and the annual - its kept me sane so far :)

Bloody Mary

Dad- I thought margaritas were red
Natta- Nah, that's bloody mary's.
Vodka, tomato juice and...a celery stick.
That doesn't help you much after 10 drinks though...maybe to walk home...as a walking stick.

HAHA

M-m-m-merrrrry christmas

Well, what a nice day.
I get woken up at 6:50am by two excited little brothers, roll over and fall back asleep.
7.00am, my light is turned on to get me out of bed, pull covers over head, its all good.
7.15am, whole family tramps ionto my room to pull me out of bed. It's 'present time'.
Then what gets pulled out but the video camera :S I don't know abut anyone else, but me, at 7am in the morning is NOT a pretty sight. Not to mention I'm super grouchy when I don't get enough sleep, let alone my cumpulsory christmas sleep in! That never eventuates! One day haha.

Got some lover-ly presents, had family over for lunch which progressed to leftovers for dinner (honestly don't know how I shoved in anymore food) then dessert, polished off two bottles of champers and geared up to watch Mamma Mia with mum and Natta.

It was a nice day, and getting ready to do it all again tomorrow for mum's birthday.

Christmas cheer, and all the rest.

Lick, Sip,Suck

So Friday night had my Bathurst bday at The Kings and it went off!!

Ran around loads, chatted heaps, had a cry, had way too many tequila shots, spewed on Ready's patio, nearly spewed in the cab home, and finished the night with about 8 party pies in bed. It was awesome.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

What a great 'pre' birthday!

EDIT
Often, I read back on my entries and think, 'What a copout'. I get lazy, and any writing integrity I have, well, leaves me, and I end up with a (for the most part) unintelligable, uninspiring and lacking entry. Not to mention my utter disregard for grammar and spelling. Most of the time I swear I'm dyslexic and it's simply easier to leave it lie.
So, of course seeing as I am so much more alert at close to 1am, I'm trying, for the second time round, to re-itreate what an AWESOME weekend I had in Sydney. Because I did.

Friday we set out on the town, armed with bundles of Purple Sneakers NYE flyers to hand out to (sometimes) unsuspecting members of the general public. We headed to the Excelsior where Killed to Birds were playing, along with some other bands.
Upon entering, we met the singer of Killed to Birds who happily chatted to us and gave us free cds when we mentiond we were helping out P/s tonight. We also got chatting to this guy Toby, and another guy Pep from Music Feeds which was I think, interesting. I sadly don't remember a whole lot about the conversations, but we did chat abit about promo work and my interest in it, and got some business cards and Bon seemed pretty keen to follow up on that. Also got a heap of photos so Bon told the singer of ktb she'd email them to him - considering I took most of them I think they will be pretty interesting! lol. So I chatted to a whole lot of different people and handed out a heap of flyers, we were talking to Mark from Sickboy about it all who thought it all sounded great, and I ended up chatting to him for quite a while after the gig - he was pretty happy to share some of his life story, and hey, I was happy to listen.

So after this was the album launch for Killed to birds at purple sneakers, and what an awesome night it ended up! On our way I had a fantastic stack right onto the ground and did a really good number on my knees, lucky by this point I couldnt feel a whole lot of anything so I just got up and carried on I'm thankful I was for the most part hidden in the shadows haha.
We got there and had flyers thrust in our faces at the doors and after politely refusing one the girl got pretty insistant so i opened my bag and showed her I had more than enough to keep me happy, so she seemed happy haha. So we headed upstairs pretty much off the bat, but it was pretty quiet so we had a smoke then headed downstairs to get some drinks and have a look around. Next thing I know boom and its crazy and there was a heap of people everywhere, chatted to a heap of interesting people, told everyone with ears it was my birthday and everyone was very nice lol. Had a good chat to ben Lucid again, and his rather cute friend, and to Mark again, and some kid with this crazy hair, and came across Jimmy again so needless to say I think that's also where alot of my night went, shoving eachother down onto couches, or into corners, or walls..or down stairways...haha it was just a heap of random fun!
a really top night

then saturday was nevereverland - just soo good.
were pretty hungover from the night before, so we decided against predrinks and i set into a pretty good routine once i got there anyway. met some crazy and fairly diverse range of people, some guys from wollongong showing me their war scars from battles, talks of guns being sold in back of cars, to people telling me there overseas stories, irish girls telling me the best places to travel in galway, and this very intersting guy telling me about some new drug he discovered - i had no idea but i nodded and pretended like i did.
ladyhawke was good, i really havent bothered to listen to much of her stuff, but it was good all the same. whitest boy alive really impressed me, i had it set in my mind i didnt acutally like them, but we decided to go have a squiz anyway and i really enjoyed it. maybe i just listened to a few off songs, or i was drunker than i though. they were good anyway.
klaxons were awesome, as i expeted, but seriously all the enegry came at once when the presets came on. i lost all the contents of my purse, lucky bon retrevied most of it. found $2. found $5. realsied it was my 5 dollars as my phone was laying a few cm away. man, i filmed a few clips of 3 of there songs and its so exciting the bvrowd was just eating it up. i dont actually know how much of it was live and how much was pre-recorded, i dont have any clue about that sort of thing, but even though sometimes i diddnt think they were really doing much, it was energic and crowd pleasing none the less.
after a quick cleanup we headed to floorspace and had a few drinks and chatted to some crazy foreigners and some crazy sydneysiders, but werent really there that long, by the end of it bon had this foul look on her face and refused to drink so i knew she was pretty keen to get out of there, i had virtually lost my voice from some seriously hectic chain smoking, and was ravenous for something other than the crumb jake from bluejuice had transferred from his beard to my face after a quick kiss and chat during an interval towards the end of the night.. oh man..lol

anyway ended up writing more than i thought but ill def always remember this weekend thats for sure!
what an awesome bday.
couldnt really do the content of this blog justice but got to appreciate an attempt anyway.

R-r-r-r-roger

Ok, so I do see the hype in these twilight books.
I stayed up from about 1am till a quarter to 7 this morning reading the first one, I seriously could not put it down.
Going to see the movie tomorrow night so see if it does the book justice.
Ha.

Twilight and broken toes

Liss and Karen came round today and gave me an early birthday present - the first Twilight book. I've heard so much about it I figure I should read and decide if it's worth all the hype.

Then I accidently (obviously) dropped a chair leg, with me still sitting in it, right on my foot and I think I've boken a couple of toes lol not even joking. Needless to say I have some puffy sore toes and I'm hoping I'm being a drama queen and that they aren't broken cos Nevereverland is this weeekend! And I'll obviously need to..walk.

Hide and seek

I can't believe this time last year I was back from schoolies and busily planning my 18th. This year has gone so incrediably fast it's kind of sad. I feel like I've wasted a year. Having not bettered myself in any way whatsoever, and not really having gotten anywhere. I guess if anything, I can say I've had a bit of fun. I've saved alot (and spent alot) but I guess that's what this year was all about.

She's such a charmer

Boy, can that man scream.

Mascara tears

Thursaday night was X-Form, UNSW graduate Interior Archeticture Exhibition and it was so good! Some of these 'presos' were so impressive we just wondered around scruitnising for ages and got some good photos. Also free drinks flowed all night so that was a bonus! And after for some reason me and Bon decided to go into the cross, went to the Kings Cross Hotel where I had a really good chat to Ben Lucid who was DJing there, probably drove him crazy with my drunken babling lol but he humored me so that was nice. Was there for a while then I got kicked out because I was a '$50 000 liability' lol which obviously I wasn't happy about, thus the title of this blog, my god I bawled haha but I'd never been kicked out of a pub before so wasn't that a rude shock! I got home and looked in the mirror and man you should have seen my face, it was black. That's a mess right there.

Stroles in strollers

I was thinking the other day, how good would it be to be young again and be pushed around in a stroler? Ok, so it's a bit of a strange thought, but I just think it would be a nice change to sit back and rest while someone else does the work for me.
