End of holidays

  • Reading: Hannibal Lecter books
  • Eating: Gum
  • Drinking: Water
The Christchurch summer doesn't really feel like summer; in fact, one would think that winter was already upon us...or maybe I'm just unused to the dry cold after the Auckland heat. At least the cold is much easier to run in, running in Auckland is much akin to swimming in salty bathwater.

That's right, I'm running (GaspShockHorror!). But I'm only running because my current body shape doesn't fit my new persona as a future dietitian. Everyone who knows me has sniggered or bit down their lips in silent laughter as I explain my career choice. Fine, I'm big, but at least I can lose weight reasonably quickly(correction, mass, I'm not on another planet). Also I'm being bribed by my rather successful Uncle.
So, Uncle Eric has dangled a rather large carrot: I loose a certain amount of girth in 3 months, I get $3000; another few inches and more pushups in 6 months, another $3000; if I continue on my girth and mass losing effort in a year from now, I get another $5000. But wait! There's more: If I keep the end-of-year measurements for another whole year, I get $11000.
Eric's also thrown in gym memberships, PT sessions and other stuff.

One condition: If I fail at any point in the year, Uncle Eric completely cuts me off: no free flights between Melbourne and NZ, no helping with uni fees, no birthday pressies etc.
Pheeeeeeeeeeeeew!
Still, I'll do it...and get good grades at the same time. SuperSam!

My sister Gina also has to do this, she doesn't fit the persona as a fashion designer. It's gonna be harder for her I think, not only will her ample bosom get in the way of her exersize, but also school and prefect duties. Heck, and she also loses a lot more if she's cut off! She loses her opportunity to work at Bendon and be the manager of Australia's only American Apparrel, not to mention her free trips and school fees...

It's mighty nice having a rich uncle to help things along, but we don't depend on him for very much. I mean, my Uncle can't stop my nana having bowel cancer, sheesh, now this is a story and a half:

My nana just had her 70th birthday party (hence my reason for being in Christhurch and Auckland) it was a huge sha-bang with celebs and stuff and lots of booze (which I had a generous sample of), but everyone mentioned how much my Grandmother had lost weight. The party ended and everyone went home to their rightful cities except for me and my boyfriend Kyle. Mum gave me specific instructions before she left to make sure that nana goes and has a checkup.
Three days later I confronted nana, asking her why she hadn't gone to the doctor, she lifted her forth beer of the day explaining that she was feeling fine. I insisted. The stubborn old nanny goat refused. Me, being the second most stubborn goat in the family used my ultimate weapon: Peircing-Ice-Blue-Cold-Dea
th-Stare-Of-Ultimate-Gloom
-And-Doom No Jutsu. Nana gave up and agreed.
Another week later we found out she had bowel cancer. Che, typical.
So nana went in last week and the surgeon pulled out a 2kg tumour about the size of a decent easter-egg from her colon. She's sitting in the private room Uncle Eric has paid for her (him being her son) doped up on morphine and other various drugs when we found out that she doesn't need chemo, and she was very lucky.
God, nana was lucky.

That was the longest time I've seen nana go without beer. My cousin Sean was joking about puting up a beer drip for her. Nana has morphine, she does't need beer.

Meanwhile I had to deal with my own pain, both physical and emotional.
Being incapacitated and in serious pain for three days with an embarrassing problem is not cool people!!
And neither are hangovers: if I see another martini anywhere, I'm going to barf big time.

I also had to say goodbye to Kyle, it may be a few months until I see him again. I hate long distance relationships. I can do them, but it means I can't hug the one I love. Or get presents to him on time. Bloody Valentines day...why do we celebrate the death of a christian who had an affair with the goalers daughter? Maybe it's because he wrote to her "From your Valentine" before he was chomped by lions in the colusieum. His death oldly coincides with the Northern Spring and the ubundance of flowers and a pagan fesitival.
No, seriously, I miss Kyle.

I won't be ranting much longer, except that I'm sad and pleased that the last Harry Potter will be coming out in July. Shame the date is 21.7.07 instead of 7.7.07 (21 is still 3 times 7 though)
Also, Hannibal Lecter is now my new obsession. Seriously, that dude is cool. Didyaknow that he has maroon eyes? That they kinda look red? And he's really not that old, perhaps 40? He also wears a hockey mask like Jason. Read the books! READ THE BOOKS! do you see? do you see? *cackle*

Now, I'm back in Toroa ready to start my new year of procrastination, whoops, I mean study. It's warm down in Dunners for once.

Sorry for the long journal.

Over and Out

I'm off back to NZ for a while, which means another hiatus, because this time I WILL have no internet. If I'm online, it means that I'm on my nana's comp.

My birthday was awesome. My boyfriend's family gave me a cake and my own family didn't! Don't worry, it's not because they don't love me, it's because they didn't plan my b'day very well. I did get a set of awesome pens of different thicknesses I'm dying to try out; new shoes; new togs; and a book of human and animal anatomy for the artist. not bad for someone born almost immediately after xmas.

My nana's party is gonna be so awesome. 180 guests, back tie, celebrities, expensive cocktails and wine, music, dancing and an early flight the next morning! :boogie: :dance: :boogie:

We're going to the Big Day Out in Auckland so that should be really fun if i don't die immediately of sensory overload (Pot, music, people, dancing etc)

And the Bay of Islands! I'm so wanting to go up there and say hello to my grandparents. I haven't seen them for years.

Well, I'll catch you later kiddos. Over and Out.

Merry Ex-Xmas peoples! I had fun.
Wow! Over 2000 hits! Thanks peoples!

I got a new tablet! I got a new tablet! It's made life so much more easier, but shame I dan't have a keyboard on this thing. I also got heaps of clothes, books, perfumes, CDs and things, but this is pretty cool.
I also got my phone back! The old motorola which was stolen was replaced by my sister's old one when she got a new phone! Now my iPod, Phone and computer have all come back to me. *Weeps with Joy*

I gave my little sister Kingdom Hearts 2 and I was the popular one until she opened the Nintendo DS. Well, I was a little wrong about the dog she was getting, instead she got this cutesie tamogotchi-like dog game for her DS. Now she can have as many dogs as she would like. Big lol.

Boxing day shopping was even more fun. All the sales! I think I spent all my xmas money. :)

I'm getting worried about WoW...it's very addictive and I sorta can't wait to go to Kyle's place and play with him and his brother. Oh Good Lord.

It's my birthday soon (on the 4th) so yay!

Bah, Christmas is nearly here. I love the whole christmas thing with the giving and the getting and the eating and the drinking. But seriously, the shopping for presents drives little old me up the wall. And the fact I haven't been paid :faint: makes life very difficult.
I think I know what I'm getting for christmas from my boyfriend and I'm so excited :boogie:
I also have a funny feeling what my little sister is getting for xmas...it's small, fluffy, needs toilet training and we already have three of them. I damn well hope not!

I hope Kyle likes his present (I hope I finish it!)

Anyway, I've been dragged into the gaming world with my boyfriend and his brother. I've been playing Diabolo 2 which is pretty cool and yesterday I started playing the multiplayer WoW ^^; It's quite addicitve and really fun if you're into that sort of things.

I'm in a creative mood but I need to work. Work = money = free time

Nearly 2000 pageviews! I'll get art it as soon as I can.

Going Insane!

Sun Dec 3, 2006, 7:07 PM
  • Mood: Frustrated
  • Reading: Guards! Guards!
  • Watching: Samurai Champloo and Samurai 7
  • Playing: Kingdom Hearts
  • Drinking: Seawater
The power cable to my computer has died. Graaaaagh! I can't take this anymore! Why does the world of electronics hate me so?

I'm currently on my sister's computer until I find a replacement cord. I better tell her that her keyboard's shocking. Really. I have to stab some of these keys.

I got my uni results back. Good news is that I passed all my exams. Bad news is that I can't get into pharm or physio. I'm thinking of going into Nutrition and becoming a dietition or something like that. I was only .5 of a mark in the running to become a physiotherapist. DAMN.

I'm also sunburnt to all heck. I went surfing yesterday and now I have wet suit sunburn.I looks like I'm wearing red gloves and socks. I nearly got really hurt yesterday too. A really large wave knocked me out for a split second and I found myself underwater with a stomach full of seawater. Not pleasant. And I actually like surfing (boogie boarding in my case).

When I can find a scanner, I'll upload some of my older pictures that I drew during 2005, they're really good because I was doing art class 24/7 and I wasn't trying to attempt CG.
Have a great Summer you guys!
