November Comes to a Close

As November draws to a close, I find myself becoming immersed in the commercial world that is the holiday known as Christmas.

'Christmas' specials are now beginning to be plastered over every single shop window and during every ad break on TV. They are plastered on bus stops, buses, radios and yes, even written in the sky.

Christmas carols play endlessly on a mindless deary loop in the shopping malls and arcades. Smiling employees don Christmas hats and decorate their stores in shiny tinsel and flashing lights. God I feel sorry for those people, I have to wonder if they go insane or not, listening to all those darned tunes.

The time of year where cakes, turkeys and chickens are practically shoved into your face as you walk down the aisle, candies and puddings, firecrackers and more, all useless yet you can't help but find yourself buying. It probably cost .15 cents to make yet you find yourself paying $5+ for the plastic trinkets to place on your plastic (or real) tree.

Powerbills increase as you throw bright lights over your house and tree, hanging from the walls and ceiling, no real use, they just sit there and look pretty.

I never really understood the commercialism of christmas, all I can say and ask is wish me luck as I myself, will charge headfirst into the stampeding masses looking for that last minute special, as I grab my presents for those I hold close, and probably stop off for a nice cuppa hot chocolate somewhere, and because I am an Australian, I will ride a kangaroo home into the slowly setting sun, over a desert horizon, dotted with bushes and cacti, deprived of water.

In other words, the darn thing jumped out at me, I have done little to no christmas shopping. I better get on the ball, I don't want to leave it last minute~

FOXTEL SELLS or does it?

Well, its been a while since I've made a post, so much for the whole make a post everyday thing. Weekends I tend to be out being social with what friends I have, you know the invisible ones in my head? All with their own wacky quirks.

That and doctors, OH LORDY I could go on and on with the doctors and what crazy theories they keep coming up with, I swear they pulled my name out of a jar and then said "Let's mess with this girl."

And mess away they did...still getting tests done but Yes~ Don't have Cancer or PCOS but now they want to send me to a dermatologist, joy, another $200 down the drain~


Righteo, now time for the actual bloggy part of my blog. Remember when I blogged about mall stalls?

Well this week's stall is Foxtel, that's right an advertising placement for Foxtel IQ, Offering free installation, free foxtel IQ free this and free that please don't read our small print just blindly sign the paper stall.

Now me being the friendly little gal I am walked up to the stall and had a nosey, noticing that the guy was having trouble setting it up, he kept getting technical errors.

"You alright? Seem to be having some trouble there." I said, tilting my head to the side to stare into the blue screen of the tv. Heck, even TV's have blue screens of death.

The guy jumped up, and acted as though I never asked the question, "HI THERE! Are you interested in foxtel? We have such and such amazing channels and this and that record live tv, not to mention blah blah blah blah free installation.

You can tell I was paying utmost attention to this mans ramblings, I stopped him and asked. "Do you own foxtel?"

He said no, I asked why, he scratched the back of his head and glanced around, almost afraid, perhaps he was being watched by the higher ups, perhaps he was going to unveil knowledge that was deemed forbidden. He wiped his brow and changed the subject.

"You get three months free!"

I raised an eyebrow and then stated that the programming on foxtel was horrible, things were constantly repeated and there was rarely ever anything new showing.

At this statement he gave another glance around the shops, what had gotten him so scared. "Well..." He began, I leaned in, was he about to divulge this mystifying secret?

"I hope you reconsider next time." He stammered, his voice low, defeated.

Dang, I thought something awesome was going to be said, I went to walk away, bidding him a good day and luck, for the poor bloke would need it.

Just as I turned to walk away, he called out to me.

"Uhm...I agree, I hate foxtel."

I gave a smile, poor, poor guy. Hates the company he works for. I turned and gave him a nod and another smile, "See-ya." I had a smile upon my face, for the lad had stuck up for himself, spoken his mind. Things would surely liven up for me. Little did I know that once my back was turned, he was attacked, jumped by several men cloaked in orange garb, muffling him and whisking him away, more than likely to be brainwashed into loving the Cable TV franchise.



Not much to say really, just another adventure regarding the Mall Stalls~

Green Haven -Too many Rambles

Greenhaven,

Because I'm a geek, a nerd, an otaku, I can't play sports too well, and right now I have a sniffly nose.

All I need now is an awesome pair of nerd glasses, if anyone has nerd glasses tell me where the bajeebers they got them from. We used to have these thick rimmed black glasses in our science lab back at the ol' secondary school. Should nabbed a few, thinking of such, my little sister goes there still...

*strokes beard*

ANYWAY... I like to arrpee, I really like to RP. In fact, right now I am on Greenhaven, waiting around for someone to post in Haven High.

I have a nieve charecter there named Elise.

She....isn't the brightest bulb in the pack, but gosh darn she is adorable. There will be a picture of herriiight about...

Here..

But that's after I get back from the hospital today, since right now I'm at work and don't have access to the many wonders of the world wide web.
Why am I talking and rambling about an RP site? Because I told the site I would write a blog about it a month ago, but never got around to it. I'm writing it now, sitting at my computer really really needing to pee. But oh no, I need a full bladder for this hospital trip. *shakes fist*


Let's see, today's blog is very very random, because I can't seem to piece together my thoughts, more so, the medication I had to take is making me groggy.

Groggy + work =ahurdurr

Last night there was an amazing storm, thunder and lighting, a wonderful breeze. I danced barefoot in the yard. No Joke. I really really did. It's so energizing and invigorating, besides, one should live each moment, sieze each day, love every second.

Oh, and below, a special song and a special segment for a special follower of mine ;D

~ Reeka and Draggle:
Something bad is coming down - have you heard the news?
Smooze:
Listen up!
Reeka and Draggle:
Get inside...better run and hide - nothing can stop the Smooze
Smooze:
You can't stop me!
Reeka and Draggle:
See the way it slithers forth - spewing gobs of ooze henceforth
Smooze:
I love ooze!
Hydia
Here is comes!
Reeka and Draggle:
Right now!
Hydia, Reeka, and Draggle:
Nothing can stop the Smooze!
Smooze:
No way!
Reeka, Draggle, and Smooze:
You can't escape it...you can't escape it - you haven't got a chance. Yeah!
Hydia:
That evil goo is a witch's brew
Reeka and Draggle:
No matter what you do, it's gonna get to you Anyone who tries to fight is guaranteed to lose Smooze:
Guaranteed!
Reeka and Draggle:
You can't win!
Hydia:
You oughtta pack it in
Hydia, Reeka, Draggle, and Smooze:
Nothing can stop the Smooze
Smooze:
Don't even try!!
Reeka and Draggle:
Here comes the Smooze cruisin' along singin' it's funky, gunky song!
Hydia:
Just ain't no way to stop...
Hydia, Reeka and Draggle:
Our gooey, gooey glop! Ooh! When it comes to witches brews, Smooze is what we choose We won't stop -
nothing else can top our ......... unstoppable Smooze
Smooze:
I love to Smooze!
Reeka and Draggle:
Smooze...nothing can stop the Smooze
Smooze:
Smooze...

Now, for those of you who are awesome and groovy enough to have watched the my little pony movie, did ANYONE else notice that Reeka and Draggle were riding a boat with a sale that was made of a giant bra with nipples? Alas, I am unable to obtain a picture of this fantastical ride.

What a wonderful way to end a blog post, witches riding bra boats

Dreamy Dreams delayed post

Dreams~

I'm going to tell you all what I dreamt last night, because I can.

Now I, being the awesome gal I am keep a dream diary, of which I record al my dreams in. I take the time, usually 5-10 minutse each morning to record my night time adventures in the land of nod.

Sometimes, when I read back on them, I have a lot of trouble attempting to decipher my scibble, I'm thinking about having a personal blog or some little computer written diary to stick them all on. Lordy I have had some interesting dreams, shrimp taking over the world, elemental weapons weilded by arbitors and evil omnipresent entities trying to wreck havoc on all that is living.
But those were not things I dreamt of last night.

No, Last night I dreamt I saved a kitty from starvation, a midnight blue/russian blue whatever you wanna call it. You know the cat with the blue eyes and grey blue fur.. oh Gorgeous. I want one of those, although I suspect Sienna (my current cat) would get a tad bit jealous. She already is jealous of Billy-Bob, and Gladys. Pawing at Gladys and laying on her tender keys. Tut-Tut.
Now why was this kitty starving? Because somehow, for some odd reason it sat atop my grandma's wardrobe/cupboard, and for another odd reason, no one else knew it was there.

I'd sneak it food and water, and became great friends with the furry little fuzzbal, one day, it fell from atop the cupboard. (I assume there was a portal to Narnia there thats where the kitty came from!)

The little kitty got hurt, but it was ok. Because I saved it I did. Now this blog was meant to be for Yesterday, so I honestly can't remember what happened next. I'm pretty sure the kitten loved me and I loved it.

We probably had a tea party on the roof, because that's how the cool kids roll.

The past, Worms

Now I sometimes find it hard to blog about something interesting that happens to me everyday, since we all know I have little to no life, I'm very surprised I get as many blog entries as I do and even more suprised that I get readers, especially ones that leave such fantabulous (I have a lisp, imagine me saying that for reals yo! Soon my pretties I will be!) comments. Really I love them all, and I read all your blogs in return, although sometimes, and by sometimes I mean practically all the time don't get the chance to comment on them. I do read them all though! Really truly do!

Anyway, I was sitting here contemplating what to write about, then I decided I would talk about my childhood. I may have mentioned this before but I can't remember, its too hot to think.

When I was a kid, I had walkie talkies, I mean, who didn't have those things as a kid? They may have only been able to pick up signals from about 100 meters away but in a child's eyes, that was a strange magic, all of its own. Everything was magic to me.

Now one day, I decided to shove the antenna of my walkie talkie into the ground, to this day I do not know why I did it, perhaps I thought there was an underground society or I was just being little ol' 8 year old me.

To my suprise, I found out that even though it was in the groumd, I got strange mumbled voices, what could these voices be? Perhaps a phone call? Or a tv signal?

Oh no, no, no, no, no....

It was worms. That's right. WORMS I was convinced that the voices I heard were worms, not just any worms but evil worms. Plotting to take over the world. When my mum asked me why I thought this, I shouted back at her, brandishing a tiny fist as I shouted "They are slimy!"

Great logic isn't it?

If it's slimy its going to take over the world, also, the darn things don't die when you cut them in half and they eat rocks.

See you can learn stuff here at Rambles, and don't say you already knew that stuff, because if you do I'll cry.

Talking about this also reminds me of the game, Worms Armageddon, the game where you led tiny worms with high pitched voices to their deaths, some as suicide bombers, some drowned, some sat meekly in the corner, completely forgotten about till a mine goes off. Gods I loved that game.

PS
I just found $2 in my bra.
I have a magic bra~

Bus driver says What?

Today, on my way to work I felt like crap, it was hot and I was sweaty and in heels...Not a good combination. So there I was, sitting at the bus stop, hot and sweaty and in heels.

Another reason why I felt bad is because of the horrid diseases that just had to pick my body, perhaps it was the tantalizing charm of my skin, or the irresistable musk of my fingernails. Or the soft cushy interior of my blood cells.

It was a typical day at the bus-stop, a guy beside me was reading some sort of book, he was wearing glasses, my guess is that he wanted to look super duper awesome. Almost made me want a pair of my own.

I sat there, staring at the cars go by, wondering what it would be like to sit in their air conditioned goodness, unless of course they didn't have air conditioning and was wearing a skirt sitting atop a leather seat. That would have been rather uncomfortable. I imagined someone having to deal with jus that, and it made me feel better about sitting in the cool breeze, despite the Sun's devil rays.

One bus passed, then two then three.

Finally my bus came along, I picked up my cooler back with a spare pair of shoes and a top, with some water and a bunch of paper, lets see my handy dandy bag also contained some not so handy dandy medication, an old broken watch, three pens (I told ya you need to keep a supply) a set of keys, two wallets, a napkin, a KFC nutrition guide, a hat and some biscuits.

I raised my head to be greeted by an old man bus driver, you never really see many youngin's driving buses, I deduce that there is a whole conspiracy going on, a conspiracy involving bus drivers and world domination.

I think, this man is the MOST friendliest bus driver I have ever met, he greeted me with a very enthusiastic wave of his hand, "GOOD MORNING DARLING!" He cried, I gave him a slight nod and a small smile, masking the immense pain I felt. I said a hello and wished his day well.

He gave a slight frown before commenting, "Don't look so sad, c'mon lassie, smile." I tried to do so again before commenting that I was in acute pain. In turn he turned around and said "Single trip Connsession? That'll be fifty dollars! well not really but imagine if it was! I'd be rich!" I laughed and went to get on the bus. He stopped me and eyed off my french vanilla cappuccino milk. "Where's my chocolate?"

I so totally pulled out a small chocolate from my bag and gave it to him, he looked genuinely surprised. I love making people happy.

It was like that for most everyone who jumped on or even off the bus, he gave them a friendly wave and a bidding of good fortune.

This one guy, and his simple smile, his positive outlook really made my day. They say a smile goes a really long way and I would definately have to agree, just imagine, each and every person who got on that bus would have been greeted with a warm friendly smile, from an old man, a total stranger who was genuinely happy to be there.

I wish the world was filled with more of these people.

On another note, my two good friends Luke and Sammy are now engaged, best wishes to you both~ <3 May you be the envy of all your gay friends.

Yes, Luke and Sammy are gay, I don't judge them, I love them both and think it wonderful that they can express their love in such a way.

Pens *twitch PENS!

In the month that I have worked in the office workplace I have learnt many a thing.

1 - People are scavengers, not saying in a bad way though, when there are tasty treats placed out to eat they will disappear within a matter of minutes, or if the average worker isn't all that hungry, in a matter of a few hours.

2 - Humour is something that is truly needed, if you don't have a good sense of it don't bother working in an office, in fact, don't bother leaving your house, don't watch TV or the news, don't read any books that offer more advice than eating green eggs and ham in a boat.

3 - No matter what the weather is like outside, it is always a comfy temperature in the office, that's right cool as a cucumber. *pulls out surfy dude motion thing*

4 - DISHES there are lots of them

Finally, 5- PENS...

That's right pens, if I have learnt one thing working here it is to safeguard your pen with your very life, and if you are unable to do that, bring an army of pen soilders, green, red, blue, black. No matter the colour, you'll need them at some point.

Pens tend to go missing quite a lot around here, oh yes we joke about the pen thieves and we all have a jolly good laugh. But secretly, we are all very wary of each other. With the shifty eyes that go <.< >.> and the quick darty movements we make as we swipe pens away from our co-workers. It is truly a grim battlefield.

I'm sure it would be the same at any workplace, if you peer through the shiny happy-go-lucky exterior and the friendly faces you'll unviel the mask and see with clear eyes, the sullen faces of weary workers. Whom have not slept in days, nor eaten in months as they ravage to protect what little pens they have left.

Now me, I am quite comfortable with my supply of six...err....five pens. I got two awesome Game Trader ones which I grabbed from Tony, who runs the Game Traders (IT SELLS GAMES) store nearby. Oh yes, I also have two red ones and a blue one.

The blue one, is a bit of a trickster, I originally had a piece of sticky tape stuck to it with "Tiffany's Pen" The pens name is Peter 'On Nettleham the 3rd But to keep it simple we'll just call him P.E.N. Now Pen went missing, and minutes later was returned with a small message taped to his side that read 'Sorry I stole your Pen, *name*'(name ommitted for privacy cause I am a good girl~) I found this very amusing.

Probably a lot more amusing than a normal person would, so I replied with 'Stop stealing my pen!' written messily in red because red means GRR. The next day P.E.N went missing again, only to return with another message inscribed on his once pure sleek form, "I can't help it" It read.

So in another red fit of redness I scrawled back "FIND YOUR OWN."

...Pen has yet to go missing again.

Although i am sure he went missing once, he just has yet to recieve a tattoo from his other user, Darn P.E.N pimpin' himself out to whatever hand choose sto touch him.

I'm waiting for that other message to appear, for another tattoo to be added to his hard plastic casing.

I took a picture of P.E.N MARVELL AT HIM

END

Heat Wave and Rememberence Day

I don't know about all you folks up there in the ye' ol' land of Americana, or Scottland or Europe or the Moon, wherever all you lil' bloggers live, but here in the Land Down Under, Blistering Australia. It gets hot. I'm not talking about 'oh gee its a little bit warm out today" I'm talking about "OH GOD MY EYES ARE MELTING" sort of hot.

Here in Australia, being close to to that little red line that cuts the world in half (note to self, go out in a boat and find said line, its real dangit!) it tends to get hot. Now I don't normally do all that well in heat, but I get by, with the aid of Claire the Conditioner and Iced Cream treats. Yet, when I spend the day working in a fairly cool office. Which I am so not totally in and so not totally writing this blog instead of doing work right now. No really, its a quiet time and I got told when it gets really really quiet I can do this, at least that's what a co-worker said.

Anyway...

Sitting in the office, I think "ah, its a little warm." But its not so much that it's a discomfort, the air conditioner (all air conditioners are known as Claire) is on, but with the opening and closing of various doors and the tinkling of bells, cool air quickly escapes off into the big wide world. Where does it go? You could be all sciencey with your facts and knowledge but me, I know the true story.

The cold air wants to be a broadway musical star, how can it strut its stuff on the catwalk when its shoved in a small room or office building? Heck if I was cold air I woulda thrown a blunt object through the window and rode the magic school bus away.

More or less, its not so bad in the office, or even in a house with a mouse. Perhaps you are in a boat, in a moat, or here or there. As long as you aren't standing outside you are good.

I went outside earlier on, to check the letterbox which is in dire need of a new padlock since the current one is old and rusty, hence its name will be Rusty. Rusty is so old and worn the key wont even fit into his elegant hole...hmm maybe rusty should have been a girl, then again who am I to judge Rusty's key antics?

As soon as I went outside I was hit with boiling hot air. Don't ask me how air is boiling, it just is. Air has some percent of water in it, hence it can be boiling! Even the slight breeze had been infected by heats tight strangling grasp. I gave a slight cry, soundless of course, for I didn't want to show any weakness to the heat, I leapt and bounded back towards the safety of the office and shut the door behind me.

The thermometre states that its 37 Degrees Celcius

In summer we are expected to hit high 40's to 50's.

GO on, look up 50 Degreec Celcius in Farenheit, I'd do it but Im too lazy, do it and scream out your amazement at the way I live.

Because we all know that my very existance is amazing.


On a last note, today is Rememberence day. The Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the Eleventh month.


Cited from Wikipedia, because we ALL know Wikipedia never lies *cough*

In !!AUSTRALIA!! Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November, although the day is not a public holiday. Services are held at 11am at war memorials and schools in suburbs and towns across the country, at which "Last Post" is sounded by a bugler and a one-minute silence is observed. In recent decades, however, Remembrance Day has been partly eclipsed by ANZAC Day (25 April) as the national day of war commemoration.

Mall Stalls

Every mall has them, they sell their baubles and gadgets, beauty and make-up, jewelery and even various edible tasty FREE food samples. These little stalls are the backbone of today's supermarket body.

Now I work right next to a small shopping complex, wouldn't really call it a mall, but dangit, I'm still gonna call those little guys mall stalls, because they are out there putting themselves on the line as they flail about in their scarves, perfume, tacos and jewelery. This shopping complex usually only has one mall stall at a time, considering the size that is all the poor girl can handle.

Each week, the mall stall changes, and I always find myself peering down the long stretch of various shops to see what new and exciting stall awaits my little hazel eyes. Last week they had a stall filled with necklaces, rings bracelets, the works. It was all for a low low price of $10, but hey, when you have low low quality you gotta sell it cheap. I do it admit though, some of the things there were really lovely. I bought a butterfly necklace and a bracelet that can only be described as gaudy. Cheap and gaudy, cause that's the way I like it baby.

The week before was a stall advertising gutters and roof insulation, a little boring there really. I was disappointed. Ah! But it didn't stop me from stopping and talking to the guy, who was quite surprised at my interest. although it was fake interest I'm sure it was the highlight of his day. Having a short girl walk up to him and actually asking about the product he was selling. Even though my question was, "Do you have any purple gutters? I like purple." I think he thought I was joking, but no, I was deadly serious. One day, I will own a house and it WILL have purple gutters, with Ivy growing up a wall, I will have a welcome mat with a witty remark etched into it.

Sadly, there was no purple gutter, entertained me during my lunch break though, which is always a good thing. It's better than sitting on a bench being a geek playing my PSP and yelling at various Final Fantasy characters as I battle away in Dissidia.

I would also like to throw out a thanks to everyone, I now have 16 followers, makes me a happy little chappy. Since this here blog is usually my way of filling in time at work during my lunch break. I will soon have a camera, meaning I can finally get my Vlogging under way, tell me little bloggers, when I do start making videos on youtube will you valiantly stride over to there and take a gander?

Microwaveable what?

I for one, don't really use my microwave, I do know it was clean once upon a time, but last night, during the taco preparations a little Friend known as Dylan went to venture into Molly the microwave, only to stand back and gasp really loudly, literally, he gasped loudly. Inhaling deeply with a "HUUURFFFH?!" (I don't know how to write a gasp in letters~)

He pointed at Molly, who was indecently exposing herself, "LOOK AT THIS!" He cried, I raised an eyebrow and tiptoed over to the microwave, sharp pointy knife in hand, expecting some sort of Gremlin to pop out at us. Yet I found that I too, gave a gasp, one of shock and horror, of pure and utter disgust. For her inner walls (insert bad dirty jokes here) were lined with a thin layer of what appeared to be a cheesy grease like substance. I shook my head and held my breath for the odour, as slight as it may have been was not something that I had wished to smell. I took a step back deciding that perhaps I could go back to hacking away at minced meat.

Dylan gave a sigh and grabbed the cleaning products and dismantled the inside of Molly, his hands caressing her had case, gently taking out her sheek glass tray and his fingers rolling ever so gently over her own little rollers. Molly gave a slight 'click' followed by a 'clack' of satisfaction. I raised my eyebrows, feeling slightly guilty since he was my friend, why should he have to clean out my Molly?

I piped up waving the knife around like the crazy fool I am, "Dylan, you don't have to clean that, I'll do it on the weekend."

His eye twitched, a look of defiance and determination upon his grizzled face as he held up a blue cloth, "I will not eat ANYTHING that has touched that." He said, pointing towards Molly the microwave.

I shrugged my shoulders, I did agree with him but my mind was focused on biting into oozing succulent tacos, "You ate from it last week."

Dylan shook his head, "I didn't know it was that bad." Was that a hint of sorrow, regret in his voice? Did he form some kind of bond with Molly that I was unaware of? He fell silent, his dark eyes focused on the floor, a soft wind blew through the window, picking up particles of dust, I watched as they danced along the lino floor. He spoke, his voice low, deadly. "Who did this...."

I shrugged, "Probably Jayjoo and Rynee (names changed to maintain secrecy) they always made melted cheese sammiches in Molly, they used to eat about three or four a day." After saying this I decided to move to the other side of the wooden kitchen table, if Dylan had formed some kind of secret bond with Molly, his heart may have been enraged with this knowledge, knowing that other MEN had voilated her, pressed her buttons at their own sheer delight, leaving her neglected and dirty.

My hunch was right, he raised his eyes to look at me, now a murderous rage stared me in the face, I felt as though I was staring at a wolf whom had cornered its prey. He licked his lips, and cracked his knuckles, almost as though he was ready to pounce. I cringed, holding the knife out in front of me in some meek attempt to defend myself. He opened his mouth, as though to say something, or perhaps take a bite out of my tasty shoulder meat, instead he met me with a sigh. His eyes darting back to Molly, he lifted up the washcloth and began to ever so gently clean her out. The kitchen was silent an air of unbroken silence, layered thick with an unease.

I went back to the meat, placing it in the pan, a crackle and a low 'sizzle' broke the silence and the thick air of dread. The simple action of cooking dead, juicy meat seemed to have lifted spirits, for that action, that sound and that smell, meant only one thing.

Dinner would be ready soon.

Dylan gave a satisfied sigh, followed by a satisfied beep from Molly. "It's CLEAN" He shouted in delight, "quick grab the camera!" So I, oh so hastily grabbed my camera and took a photo of Molly all nice and clean, and Dylan next to his new lady friend, both are really happy that the job had been done.

Here is a photo. Didn't get one of Molly when she was all dirty...and filthy...covered in grease and oil...yeah no.

P.S Dylan please don't kill me for making it sound like you had 'fun' with the microwave.

Served ice cold with a dash of snide

I haven't been on in a few days, BAD TIFFY BAD.

I should scold myself, perhaps with some hot water, or melted chocolate. Yes I should definaltey scold myself by jumping into a vat of chocolate, that would be a good punishment...right?


Don't you find it annoying when you walk into a store and the staff give you strange looks?

I swear that the majority of them judge you on your clothes, for instance, the other day I walked into a 'businessy' type store which was fairly espensive, but hey I was there to buy some buisnessy outfit for my buisnessy work. Now, it was a weekend so I obviously wasn't all dressed up, I had some denim shorts on and a grey shirt with a butterfly on it.

Because butterflies are awesome.

As I was browsing through the store, a woman comes up to me, and gives me a sneer and goes "Can I...hep you?" I ignored her obvious sneer and assumed that perhaps her collegan pumped face just couldn't help it so I nodded and replied, "Why yes, I'm looking for a pencil skirt, preferably black and perhaps one with a slit up the side?" She scoffed and said "Perhaps you want to try a different store, we sell business clothes here."

Well DUH why the hell do you think I'm in your shop? I sure as heckery didn't go in there to buy an ice cream or a seedy pornographic fim did I?

I shrugged her off and said, "I'll just look myself." In the end I found a skirt, and it was on one of those clearance racks, for $29.90 which to me is still really expensive for a skirt, but hey with the other ones retailing at $90.oo I figured this would be my best bet. So I bought it to the counter. Where the same girl stared at me as though I was a bum off the street. "Oh..so is that all?" she asks, picking up the skirt as though it was diseased. I gave a nod and handed her a $100 bill. She raised her eyebrow at me, probably assuming I stole it but it was a sale and who was she to turn down a customer?

I walked out of the store, and proceeded to go into another store, since I was going to buy my friend a birthday present, now this store was more suited to what I was wearing, Jay-Jays. Pretty much has all sorts of stuff there, can't really describe the fashion since I am far from a fashionista. I wear feather earings, which I think is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

The attendants there were really kind, asked me how my day was, if I needed any help offered a variety of alternatives when I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for and even ended up giving me a discount because I had bought a few things.


Do people in clothes stores Really judge you by the way you are dressed? really now, I think it's stupid, if I really DID look like a bum and walked into a high class store, then you can all look down on me with your condesending stares and dark eyes heavy with make-up all you want. But no, I am fairly well presented, even if I do have feathers in my ears and butterflies on my shirt, my hair is neat and I don't smell. So get a life.

Has anyone had that happen to them before? Have any of you been looked down upon after walking into a store?

The life of a gamer

We are the few, the proud, the geeky.


Huddled in the corners of our dark, dank rooms, with sullen faces illuminated by the soft eerie glow of various computer screens. There is a strange odour in the air, a mixture of body oudor, spilled soft drink, cheesy chips and of course the dusty/musky smell of the whirring fans, spinning continously to keep our little mechanical boxes at a safe or near safe temperature.

The sound of clicks and clacks fill the room, as fingers mercelissly swipe across the keyboard, and the mouse jolts with a mere flick of the wrist. Perhaps an ogre is being slaughtered by a holy knight. Or a dark elf has just cast a might ice spell that has obliterated her foes. There is little to no banter, as concentration is soley on the mission at hand. Cities crumble and fall, armies rise to fight, only to die by the hands of their very creators.

The gamers.

There is a scream, a shout of protest as one of the gamers throws his hands up in protest, eyebrows furrowed in frustration. He fidgets in his chair and cracks his fingers, leaning forward so that his forehead was mere inches away from the screen, for the next battle, would need the utmost concentration.

A slight scoff comes from the other side of the cramped room, as a voice proclaims "Ah I see what you did thar."

A slight chuckle ripples through the crowd, as the gamers hold a language all of their own, another replies. "Well you just lost 'The Game' " A wave of moans and groans ripple through the crowded room now. As they start to throw cheese doodles and skittles at the grinning lad.

A carefree life, a simple life these people lead. Despite the fact that their lives may seem dull, dreary and unsocial they have a world all of their own. Various characters that do anything they command. Guilds-team members rush to your aid the moment you may holler for help.

The natural enemy of these people,

slow internet connections, lack of sustainance, which usually consists of high sugar concentrated candy, soft drinks, sodas and chips. The lucky gamer may even have a side of McDonalds or KFC, the dreaded D/C or disconnections that happen from time to time, especially during large LANS when the wireless modems are running at double their standard speeds.

The question is, are you one of us? Or are you against us?

I love you- Tributes

Another dedication blog to the people who are important in my life, I want to try to do these once a month, even if the people I want to talk about don't read my blog, it makes me feel happy to write about them, it's a small tribute to those who are important in my life.

Taco Taco

Tacos

They're tasty and crunchy, and filled with so many innuendo's that they're practically overflowing edible sex jokes. Let's see how many we can make in the one post, shall we? I like Tacos (see look there's one there) They're tasty, filling and satisfying and fairly easy to make.

Yet, me being the daughter of my mother, always makes too much, so I invited a few friends over. This was a few weeks ago, then last week, and now again this week. See, we now have a special night called 'Taco night' at my house, where me and my friends get together to share the bountiful joy of the succulent taco. It was originally only three people, including myself. In the past two weeks that number has skyrocketed to ten. I was happy about this, untill I realized something.

I only have four chairs.

Reminds me of that scene in family guy, when Peter asks what heaven is like and he gets a rather blunt reply of... "There's a lack of chairs."

So now I have to wonder where to put all my hungry salivating friends. Will we stand around a table? or perhaps sit on the floor on a blanket? Either way I'll work something out. I find that tacos are fairly messy, no matter how careful you are with eating them, you always tend to get juices dripping down your chin, and they seem to burst on you, showering you in meaty cheesy, lettucey mess.

Just a small note about the cooking instructions for the shells that my dear Keri found. 'Insert into mouth of taco to keep taco wide."

It amused me, greatly amused me. Especially with my mind.

It was one of those little plastic wedges, that you have in the tacos to stop them from curving down or snapping or whatever the hell it is that tacos do when they get all hot in the oven.

Overall I'm really looking forward to taco night, and figured I would blogt about it since I can't think of anything else to write about, perhaps I should write my entries at night rather than in the middle of the day. Who knows, I might get trampled by Kangaroos on the way home.

Because in Australia, that's what happens.

Pidgeons

Today, as I was collecting the post for my work, I walked past a group of pidgeons, now these pidgeons were happily pecking away at some bread crumbs outside of the bakery. Just mindin' their own pidgeony business.

Too bad they were in the way, I tried to step over them and make noises to get them to move, but the darn things didn't budge. They were either too stubborn, too lazy or just plain hungry. So here I am balancing newspapers and letters in one hand and milk in the other trying to slowly edge my way around the little flying critters, cause even though they're annoying little buggers I didn't want to hurt them.

Too bad I'm not as gracefull as I like to think, I ended up stepping on the tail of one of them,I freaked and jumped off immediately yelling "Oh no! I'm sorry!"

People who passed me by gave me weird looks, here is this girl, balancing various items on her shoulders screaming apologies at pidgeons. So, I'm not suprised, I ignored the passerbys and just HAD to make sure the pidgeon was ok.

It was fine, it looks as though it didn't even realize I stepped on it, so I gave a small sigh and made my journey back to work.

However...behind me I hear a slight "coo....coo..."

I ignore it and hasten my pace, the noise gets louder, "COO...COO!" I turn around and there are about four pidgeons following me, I wave my hand, dropping the newspaper as I said once again, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to step on you, I have no food!"

I honestly don't think Pidgeons can understand us, and if they can the bastards are playing dumb, for the pidgeons jumped on my newspaper, so I slowly tried to slide it out from underneath them, all the while getting gawked at by people who just so happen to pass me by and catch sight of my unusual daily antics. I managed to retrieve the paper and get back to work.

Now I am sitting here, typing this, and I swear I can still hear the faint, distant 'cooing' of the pidgeons.

On a completely different note I'm gonna try real hard like to make one post everyday, or have at least 30 posts for November.

I decided to set myself three little Blogger goals to accomplish by the end of this month

1-get 15-20 Followers on my blog
2- make a post a day
3- Slightly change the scheme of it to make it more bright and colourful

Do any of you have any little Blogger goals?

A piece of me~

This is a little something taken from the blog *Notes from the Toothfairy*

I think it's a wonderful Idea, and whilst I am a few days ahead I am still going to write this up~
It is meant to happen on the first Saturday of each month, but First Monday of the month is still good, yes? I'm going to try to remember to do this each month. I always write myself little notes like this, so why not share them with the world? Or at least the blogging world?

This month....
I like: Dried banana's, I've really gotten into them lately
I don't like: not having much to do at work, I feel a little useless
I want you to know: That the Irony of love is that it garantees some degree of anger, fear and criticism.
I've planned: To go to my friends 21st Birthday, I miss her and haven't seen her for almost a year
I want to say to someone special: Brandon, I always love you, I couldn't be any more happier than I am now, knowing that I'm going to marry you and be with you forever.

gotta love you Blogger

Ok, so I have a few blogs saved as Drafts, this is just in case I don't have the time to write another blog, or if I was in a chatty mood and wrote about three diferent things in one day, I'm not going to post three times in one day. Billy Bob would get fat and lazy.

Heck, he already sits about the house and does little to nothing except moan about how hungry he is and about how he wants to squish out of the computer screen and grow limbs and travel around the world as an 80's swing dancer.

Unfortunately, half these drafts publish themselves s the date they were written, when I want them to be published here and now. I'm pretty dang sure you can set an exact date and time to publish them but I am lazy and haven't bothered to do so yet~

Ah well, I wanted a fancy pancy post today but instead you have this, so to make everything perfect here is a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

Ps photobucket...you're going on THE LIST
