<br />
Well, I've been at my new job for about two weeks. I really like it, it's a much bigger store than my last one. It's also a lot happier. And I'm getting lots of hours.<br />
<br />
Going back to uni tomorrow, good times.<br />
<br />
Got a new mobile number, though it was excrutiatingly difficult because phones are.<br />
<br />
Writing is good, but i've been flat out recently with work and all that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Question: If you could go back in time and see anything in history, or meet anyone who ever lived, what or who would it be?<br />

Beard rash is a terrible thing.<br />
<br />
Had to go buy some razor refills before work today, I was itching up a storm.<br />

<br />
Uni's kicking ass. Loving every bit of it. The uq site is confusing as hell though.<br />
<br />
Working quite a bit too. Which is great because I have found that uni is a fantastic excuse to buy things. Such as new clothes. Bought a bunch of new stuff so I've been cleaning out my wardrobe. Maaan, there's a lot of junk in there....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
Also I bought Sophie a present (a Sgt. Peppers style vest) and delivered it to her inbetween classes.<br />
She loved it. Went ecstatic. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
I don't see her enough lately. When she gets back from Sydney we're planning a big day out.<br />

Now, I'll leave you with a question, what is your earliest memory? ]]></description>

<br />
I read the books when I was little and loved them, so I was really looking forward to this movie. And guess what?<br />
<br />
It was brilliant! I loved every second of it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
The battle was so cool and the beavers were hilarious. Edmund annoyed the hell out of me though. Little git.<br />
<br />
The witch! She was fantastic!<br />
<br />
Go see it! It's awesome! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> ]]></description>

<b>Reading:</b> <i>Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel</i> very good book. set in the Napoleonic era, except with a fantasy twist.<br />
<b>Listening to:</b> Bob Sinclair's Love Generation. Fun song.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, got my results.<br />
<br />
<br />
In total, counting the HA I received last year... I have 5 HA's! That means a Rank 90, which at last count was an <b>OP 6!</b><br />
<br />
I'm super happy. I really didn't think I would get that. I was sure i'd drop the ball on at least one subject, instead I managed to keep up the work for all of them! Come to think of it, if i had finished two of the exams properly, I could have maybe, possibly, scraped a VHA. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
All's well that end's well. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My results for school come in the mail tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I'll be getting a grade for each exam (from VLA through SA up to VHA) which all add up together (inclduing the HA i received form last year) to form my Rank. The Rank is equivalent to an OP.<br />
All OP's are converted into Ranks when you goto to uni, i believe that Sydney uses Ranks instead of OP's too.<br />
<br />
So yeah, anxious.<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: Son of a **** I was told the wrong date for the results to come out. I won't get them until friday now, apprently. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Listening to:</b> Josh Pyke - <i>Feeding the Wolves</i><br />
<b>Watching:</b> <i>Goblet of Fire</i> and <i>Family Guy</i><br />
<b>Reading:</b> <i>Parkland</i> by Victor Kelleher, sooooo old.<br />
<br />
<br />
Saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today, first of all, it was a pretty damn cool movie. I'd have to say though the ending was a tad abrupt. Voledemort was just freaking cool. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> wish i were evil. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br />
<br />
However, it was all the better because I saw it in.....<b>GOLD CLASS</b>!<br />
<br />
For those who have never heard of the miraculous experience that is Gold Class, here's the lowdown: It's a feature at Birch Carol and Coyle cinemas, there's only about twenty-five seats in each Gold Class cinema, there set so they're apart from each other, in twos with a table in between. You have to be 18 to be allowed in as they serve alcohol, along with meals and dessert, which you choose and specify when you want it delivered to your table. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> The seats are so soft and plush and even have a switch which puts the back down and raises the foot rest! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /><br />
<br />
It makes everything that much better. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /><br />
<br />
Oh yeah, the movie...um, cool. ]]></description>

on another note, does anyone remember those 'Somebody has a crush on you' emails from years ago? You know when somebody who knows you puts your email in to the website as a joke or whatever and it sends you an email and you try and guess who it is?<br />
I've been trying. I've tried essentially every address in my email account. I CAN'T FREAKING FIGURE IT OUT!<br />
<br />
<i>the sheer mystery of who put my email in there is driving me insane!<i><br />

have you ever looked around and seen a word on a box or whatever say, but it's obscured by something? Well i'm so obsessive compulsive that if that happens to me, i HAVE to find out what the word is.

<br />
Had exam no. 3 today. Modern History. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
I got in there ready to go, was all :ninjafight: on the first paper, i breezed through the hypothesis work, and linking the historical sources to the essay topic. I got the multiple choice and found it so easy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
But then on the second paper I went down hill a little. There were two essays you had to write on the second paper, and one of them i had studied for wasn't included this year! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/j/jawdrop.gif" width="15" height="32" alt=":jawdrop:" title="Jawdrop" /><br />
so, i was very clever and adjusted my essay study to fit one of the other questions. did a pretty good job. it was SUPPOSED to be a question about the Treaty of Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, instead they asked us wether the Weimar Republic was based on a system of government bound to fail. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bored.gif" width="19" height="15" alt=":bored:" title="Bored" /><br />
So i used another question, asking in what ways the appeasement policy of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain failed in preventening the outbreak of world war 2. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> which KIND of related to my Treaty of Versailles study in that, i suggested that the parameters set by the Treaty (which for those who don't know, blamed germany solely for WW1 (where as it was actually the fault of every country involved and their paranoia) and demanded a whole list of things from the  country) which meant that the country's sense of nationalism was severely wounded which allowed a strong charasmatic leader like Hitler to rise to power. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />aperwork:<br />
<br />
I must still be in exam mode. need sleep. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had my second exam (of 5) on monday.<br />
<br />
Went for six hours (2 parts, 3 hours each). Had to write 8 essays! Yowsers.<br />
<br />
I went really well on the first paper, got in there and kicked ass.<br />
<br />
I think the fact that i'd already written four essays in the morning affected me, coz i felt i didn't do as well on the second paper. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
<br />
I was so freaking tired afterwards too. All I wanted to do was sleep. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /><br />
<br />
I had to work the next day too. And stayed back an extra hour, and also wangled myself an extra shift this week, coz my phone bill's <b>$160</b> bucks. Double yowsers. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
I'm also a little bit smitten. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Oh, i also bought a iTunes Music Card and spent all today buying new songs. mmmm....muuuusic. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sing.gif" width="29" height="20" alt=":sing:" title="Singing" /><br />
<br />
I have my next exam (modern history) on tuesday, followed by my fourth (drama theory) on thursday and the last (ancient history) on friday. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />aperwork:<br />
<br />
study, study, study.<br />
<br />
Or at least i would be studying, if i wasn't distracted by work, music, writing and <i>her</i>. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br />
<br />
<i>Up so early it feels so bright<br />
i didnt get much sleep last night<br />
freight train rattled thru my head<br />
whiste blow in love is dead, is dead<br />
<br />
heart attack by fear and doubt<br />
wont be long till the truth comes out<br />
first impressions never last<br />
lovers bombs they hold so fast<br />
<br />
restless future burning bright<br />
past is holding on so tight<br />
never heard the warning bell<br />
and i just wanna wish u well<br />
i just wanna wish u well<br />
i just wanna wish u well<br />
</i><br />
<br />
-- Wish You Well, Bernard Fanning ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just got home from seeing <i>Oedipus The King</i> at QPAC, with people from school.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/j/jawdrop.gif" width="15" height="32" alt=":jawdrop:" title="Jawdrop" /><br />
<br />
so good. it was fantastic, I loved it! The set was genius, the costumes (they gave the whole play, which was written 2000 years ago, a 1940's look) were awesome especially Tiresius the blind seer as a bushy-flame-haired bag lady.<br />
Marcus Graham who played Oedipus was, apart from being a beautiful man that every girl in the audience fell for instantly, a brilliant actor. He was easily the best among the group, centering all attention on himself whenever he was on stage.<br />
<br />
It was just fantastic. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
It did rain afterwards though but i got a lift home with my english teacher so I didn't get too rained on. Good too, coz I was wearing my suit.<br />
<br />
Also, next thursday is the final reharsal for my drama class, where we present our formed individual and group pieces for our families and friends, before presenting them for actual assessment on saturday. (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." />)<br />
<br />
My group piece is three scenes from Louis Nowra's bittersweet play, <i>Summer of the Aliens</i> set in the 1960's about a young boy called Lewis (played by me) who's best friend Dulcie (played by my partner, Emma) is a wild, out of control girl who nobody can understand, let alone Lewis who has trouble understanding anyone else, let alone her.<br />
It's about Lewis growing up and finding out what Dulcie is trying to tell him when she whispers into his hand 'as an angel', through which he begins to understand the world around him.<br />
<br />
My individual piece is a bunch of excerpts all centered around the theme of the drudgery of the working life, with pieces taken from <i>Bridge Over the River Kwai</i>, <i>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead</i>, <i>Death of a Salesman</i> and <i>Hamlet</i>.<br />
<br />
It should be good. I've gotta get that out of the way then four other exams. oh yay.<br />
<br />
but after that, I'm off school forever! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There's smoke everywhere.<br />
<br />
To walk out my front door it's so thick it's like a fog.<br />
<br />
You can see the fires burning on the opposite mountain, it's like a string of orange fairy lights.<br />
<br />
My head hurts from all the smoke, it reeks. And in the heat this afternoon I had to chop down a tree too close to our house, with only an axe. in 30 degree heat. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
I got it though, take that you tree rapscallion! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />
<br />
The fires got realy close too, down the end of our street, I've seen so many fire engines today, and now a whole bunch are sitting near our house.<br />
<br />
Crazy. ]]></description>

<br />
hello.<br />
<br />
been a while since I wrote a journal. but, then stuff's been happening.<br />
lately, I've suffered heartbreak, stress, sheer joy and dissapointment. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
but, that's life. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
<br />
I  HAVE accomplished things though, being that I've lodged my application in at QTAC, so that's sweet.<br />
I've got four weeks till the exams. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
also, I met my new store manager last night, he's a cool guy really. so much better than my last boss. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />
<br />
and I went shopping yesterday. which is always good. bought some clothes, some bling, and a new cd -- James Blunt. I had to buy it coz I can't get that <i> You're Beautiful</i> song out of my head. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sing.gif" width="29" height="20" alt=":sing:" title="Singing" /><br />
<br />
<i> My life is brilliant.<br />
My love is pure.<br />
I saw an angel.<br />
Of that I'm sure.<br />
She smiled at me on the subway.<br />
She was with another man.<br />
But I won't lose no sleep on that.<br />
'Cause I've got a plan.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Now I'd like to ask a question:</u> <b>Do you believe in spirits, ghosts and the afterlife? Leave a comment.</b> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's 11.45, the day after my formal.<br />
<br />
I'm so tired...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/y/yawn.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":yawn:" title="Yawn" /><br />
<br />
But in a good way. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
It was an AWESOME night, it was held at the Tattersals Club in the city on the second floor so there was a cool view of the city. Everyone looked so awesome (including myself in my chocolate suit, because y'know, it's the best suit ever <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" />) and the room was really cool.<br />
<br />
The food was good, but I didn't eat much (Prue kept swapping our meals when I wasn't looking so she could get the better one) but the dessert was SO  GOOD! It was a raspberry and chocolate pudding in a white chocolate sauce....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /><br />
I DID have a few drinks, though I specifically had a glass of rum'n'coke, which kept mysteriously draining itself faster than I was drinking it. When  I came back to table after giving my speech I found Ms. I-Swap-Meals-Prue finishing my drink off! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />
<br />
I danced alot too. Like, REALLY danced. Danced all night. And then the floorshow started which was championship 50's Rock'n'Roll dancers and then they taught you how to dance like that (at least the BASIC steps anyway, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." />) and it was awesome. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Then I danced some more.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I got lots of photos of which I'll put up a few when they're developed. <br />
<br />
I went out on the town afterwards and had pizza as we walked to the Port Office.<br />
<br />
Then I got home and slept. I am so bloody tired. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ What's been happening recently in my life?<br />
<br />
<br />
--<br />
On saturday night I went out clubbing for the first time. It went off like a firecracker! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drunk.gif" width="25" height="28" alt=":drunk:" title="Drunk" /> didn't get drunk though. i'm a good boy.<br />
drank a fair bit but was pretty coherent when I finally got home at 3am....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> but it was awesome, Birdie Num Num was my favourite club. it rocked!<br />
--<br />
<br />
--<br />
I'm in exam block this week, starting from monday this week (so perhaps going out on saturday wasn't the best idea) and so far I've had my English exam (consisiting of writing 8 essays) and today i had my Modern History exam (document studies, three essays, short answers and multiple choice)....both were six hours long. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
That's it for the week though and then next week I've got my Ancient History and Drama exams. good times. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<b>actually</b> I did pretty well in my modern exam today, my hypothesis for the free essay was that the white australia policy, institued in 1901 was responsible for limiting Australia's population (duh) and therefore greatly increasing the nation's vulnerability in World War Two. Good stuff. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
--<br />
<br />
--<br />
I have my formal next thursday, which marks the end of the exams. It's gonna be so awwwwesome. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
A friend of mine is having a post and her parties are always so rockin', so it's gonna be a great night.<br />
--<br />
<br />
--<br />
If you haven't heard of the band Louis XIV, go check them out, NOW! <a href="http://www.louisxiv.net">[link]</a><br />
--<br />
<br />
um.....that's about it. <br />
<br />
I feel like giving everyone one giant group hug. all gather 'round now....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got a birthday present from two of my awesome friends, Katie and Anabelle today. They ambushed me in the lunch room at school.<br />
<br />
Apparently they spent 5 and a half hours on it, and it's AWESOME! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
It WAS a shoebox that has been plastered on every inch of space with magazine cutouts and images, and trinkets and everything and it's so cool!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> Inside they put two cupcakes they made (soooooo delicious) and soup mix, and noodles and souvlaki seasoning, and two bandades and a Four X and mints and everything! It's like  a care package! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> Not to mention the hilarious notes they put inside!<br />
<br />
There was also a camera, because it's supposed to be a 'memory box' where you put photos and stuff so I took two photos of those lovely girls! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> Love ya guys!<br />
<br />
So yeah, cheers! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Guess what? I just realised something. :l<br />
<br />
I WAS going to (and still am) get a copy of <i>Half Blood Prince</i> tomorrow morning, BUT I just realised I'm a third of the way into a fantastic book at the moment which I paid $30 for (even when I really couldn't afford it) so I couldn't read the damn Harry Potter thing anyway, coz this book is sooo good!<br />
<br />
It's called <i>Specimen Days</i> by Michael Cunningham, who wrote the lauded <i>The Hours</i>, which became the movie with Nicole Kidman. It consists of three short stories (mind you the book is huge, so they aren't technically 'short') which though they take place in 1. Industrial Revolution New York, 2. New York a year after 9/11 and 3. New York 150 years in the future, the three different strories somehow interweave.<br />
And it has a recurring theme of the actual poet Walt Whitman.<br />

Good stuff. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />

I went and saw The Bar at Buena Vista last night at QPAC, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> it was soooo goood!!<br />
<br />
If you haven't heard any music by The Buena Vista Social Club, then you haven't lived!<br />
<br />
It was so good, I can't even describe. Like when one of the older members (he's 87 and still singing and dancing) began to sing you just didn't expect his voice coming from that frail body, and then during the songs he'd stop and dance by himself, as if with someone else and it was like him remembering the bar back in Cuba.<br />

<b>Listening to:</b> My Travellin' Tunes  playlist on my pod.<br />
<b>Reading:</b> The Shadow of the Wind by  Carlos Ruiz Zafón<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm so bloody tired! I've had work from  friday straight through to tuesday,  PLUS school on the week days. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I'm so  fatigued but I'm sitting down tonight  to get some more work done on my new  novel, 'Beggars Would Ride'.<br />
<br />
Mmm....was bored today at school and I  had a free period so I went to the city  and looked through the bookstore and  got a copy of <i>The Shadow of the Wind</i>  it's a book I saw a while ago but never  bought.<br />
<br />
Okay, so it was like 30 bucks and I  should be saving for tomorrow night's  big sale but I couldn't help myself!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" />  it's an excellent book though. It's set  in 1945 in Barcelona (That's Spain for  the geographically-challenged) and it's  about a young boy Daniel Sempere who's  father is a bookseller and when the  sons in the family turn 11 they are  taken to the Cemetery of Dead Books,  which is a vast libarary of forgotten  tomes and books, which supposedly  contain an imprint of their writer's  souls. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> It's fantastic, he tries to  unravel the mysteries that sorround the  author of the book he chooses.<br />
<br />
In other news I've gotta put some more  artwork up, eh? I mean, alot of my  creative juice is pumped into my  writing but I need to do some stuff to  put up here on dA. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />aperwork: will do.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Had work yesterday. <br />
<br />
Busy busy. It was the tuesday after  Labor Day too, so everyone came into  the store to restock. lots of people.  and since we had a few too many staff  for a while I had to help any customers  that needed help...let me ask you a  question, do I seem to you to be  someone that would <b>want</b> to help you  find something?<br />
<br />
Becos everyone seems to think that and  people would not stop asking me this or  that, for 'bunny ears for the tv' or  'gaffer tape <br />
to put on a t-shirt'. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/chainsaw.gif" width="49" height="20" alt=":chainsaw:" title="Chainsaw" /><br />
<br />
On the plus side, I did get to the goto  the cd store before work, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> and guess  what I bought? <i>The Bravery</i>'s debut  album! they rock! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> they're so cool,  they're kind of like the killers but  with more grit and edge.<br />

mmm....cd.<br />

Blah. Each  around 3 hours long, some much more.<br />
<br />
I had Modern History today, and because  I actually studied (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/disbelief.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":disbelief:" title="Disbelief" />) I did really well  I think, I knew everything on the  paper.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow it's English, which is 3 hours  25 mins and requires you to write four  essays (oh joy) so I've gotta go get  some quotes together to take in with  me.<br />
<br />
Then, on thursday it's Ancient History  in the morning (2 essays, comparing  Minoan and Mycenean culture, then  Minoan culture in depth versus Egyptian  and other Mediterranean) and Drama in  the afternoon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> which I'm looking  forward to because you have to write a  play and that is going to be fun.<br />
<br />
In other news I've decided to cut back  on work, limiting the hours to 10-12 a  week, which will allow me to focus more  on study and then with the bit of free  time I'll get I can get to the gym more  often, to relieve <b>stress</b>...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
Man, I'm so tired.<br />
Well, seeyas.<br /><br />And if things get too heavy,<br />
Then we'll all float on okay-ay....<br />

Anyway, stopped and talked to a work  buddy, blah blah, speaking of which I'm  low on funds so I was budgeting the CD  buying, hence I bought my sis this  single she was after and then looked at  what there was I hadn't heard.<br />
So I found a few but they were a bit  out of my current pricerange (though  that'll change come midnight wednesday! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> ) and then I found B.R.M.C which is <i> Black Rebel Motorcycle Club</i> and it was  cheap (cos it's an old album) but my  god they're good!<br />
<br />
Their rock songs remind me of cups of  black coffee while cruising down the  highway in the early early morning.  mmmhmm. :shades: ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's after midnight, on sunday night.<br />
<br />
I <b>do</b> have school tomorrow, but I'm up  for one reason: <i>The Last of the Dogmen</i>.<br />
<br />
That's right, it's an awesome movie,  playing on tv right now. It was made  sometime in the 90's, probably mid, and  in my opinion, is an absolute classic. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
I remember watching it when I was a  little kid, with a bowl of steamy hot  chips when I was sick with a cold or  whatever. Go figure.<br />
<br />
It stars Tom Berenger and Kurtwood  Smith (Red from <i>That 70's Show</i>). It's  set in the Ox Bow, a rugged mountain  range in North America, and revolves  around Tom Berenger's character, Louis  Gates, a bounty hunter, he is sent in  by Kurtwood Smith's character (the  sheriff) to capture/kill three escaped  convicts.<br />
<br />
So after four days tracking something  happens out in the woods, gunshots are  heard and when he arrives there's blood  all over the ground and a single arrow  lying in the grass. He glimpses a group  of horsemen riding away. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cowboy.gif" width="26" height="22" alt=":cowboy:" title="Cowboy" /><br />
<br />
Basically, he begins researching and  finds that the arrow belonged to a  Cheyenne military group, called the  Dogmen, vicious warriors in Native  American society.<br />
<br />
Blah, blah, turns out there's something  up in the mountain range, so he sets  out with an female archaeologist (love  insterest, anyone?) to prove his  theories correct.<br />
<br />
EXCELLENT MOVIE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> ]]></description>

Guess what I found out? I was named  after my great uncle, Robert William  Smith, who was a pilot in World War 1  but was shot down and died in a POW  camp. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sniff.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sniff:" title="Sniff" /> how sad.<br />
<br />
Did you know that 'William' means  'Desire to protect', and it's accurate  coz I'm very protective of people I  care about. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> ]]></description>

<br />
I'm scheduled on for work, 9:30-1:30.<br />
<br />
I get up early, get ready and arrive  ten minutes early, and what happens? I  rock up the to the service desk to find  out which register they want me on and  lo and behold Sue and Cath check the  roster and discover that I'm not  supposed to be there till 1:30! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pissedoff.gif" width="40" height="20" alt=":pissedoff:" title="I am PISSED OFF!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ For christmas, my pammy <a href="http://pamity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="pamity" /></a> gave me a gift  which shows she knows me quite well: <br />
<br />
A book called 'The Worlds Greatest Book  of Useless Information'! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br />
<br />
Like did you know that the spinal cord  is as flexible as a rubber hose?<br />
<br />
Or that the only building in the UK the  Queen may not enter is the House of  Commons, as she is not a commoner?<br />
<br />
Or that (this I love) in Alabama it is  illegal to wear a bulletproof vest  while you commit a <b>murder</b>? WTF?<br />
<br />
And it's got famous last words too,  some of them are pretty deep:<br />
<br />
'And so I leave this world, where the  heart must either break or turn to  lead.'<br />
<i>-French writer Nicholas-Sebastien  Chamfort, in his suicide note.</i><br />
<br />
To that I say, let the heart break, for  a broken heart that has known pain and  can love again in time is better than  one that turns to lead and slowly  poisons you.<br />
<br />
Thanks pammy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smooch.gif" width="35" height="16" alt=":smooch:" title="Smooooch!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Guess what?<br />
<br />
On monday I got my results from this  year.<br />
<br />
See, I'm doing year 11 and 12 together,  but split up so that I did one subject  this year and then the remaining four  next year.<br />
<br />
I did Logic this year, two years work  of it but in only three months and you  know what result  I got? A High  Achievement!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br />
<br />
I can't believe it, I was so sure I'd  only get a Sound Achievement!<br />
<br />
And what's more with my results I've  got a Senior Certificate, basically  I've technically fninished year 12.  Wierd.....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/psychotic.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":psychotic:" title="Psychotic" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, happy holidays guys! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
I am cursed. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />
<br />
See, I have two curses, the first is  the Sunglass Curse, I love sunglasses,  they're very cool. But, I have never in  the history of my life been able to  keep intact or know the location of my  pair of sunglasses after a month of  having them. Sometimes less. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
See, for some cosmic reason, within a  few weeks of getting them, they ALWAYS  fall apart, break, snap in two, sunder,  tear or just dissapear in a puff of  smoke. There's probably a cache (KAY-SH  damnit!) somewhere in my house of lost  sunglasses. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
My second curse, for the last three  christmases, I've been sick <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/puke.gif" width="24" height="15" alt=":puke:" title="I think I am going to PUKE!" />. 2 years  ago, I had massive migraines all  through christmas, last year I had a  high fever and all over flu-ness and  this year I have a throat fluey thing.  Now I could go and blame other people  for this <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> BUT, I know that I'm cursed.<br />
<br />
CURSED!<br />
<br />
Oh and alex, tell andrew:<br />
<br />
Sing, sang, sung.<br />
<br />
We are going to <b>sing</b> that song.<br />
We just <b>sang</b> that song.<br />
That song has  already been <b>sung</b><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I finally got the <i>Ministry of Sound:  Chillout Sessions 6</i>! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> I love the  chillout sessions, this edition has  stuff like a remix of Missy Higgins'  Nightminds and Coldplay's 'Don't  Panic'.<br />
<br />
But this my favourite song from it:<br />
<br />
Sweet Virginia<br />
<br />
I couldn't tell <br />
The weight of the world <br />
was on your shoulders <br />
Couldn't tell you were unhappy, <br />
you were unwell <br />
I go along like nothing is wrong <br />
no need to worry <br />
Too late to feel sorrow <br />
upon borrowed time <br />
Then now there's no answers <br />
no easy way out <br />
take it all if you want <br />
take it all if you want <br />
<br />
if you know how to run <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should run <br />
if you know how to play <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should play <br />
if you know how to say <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should say <br />
if you know how to be <br />
be without me, you should be <br />
you should be <br />
<br />
I couldn't see <br />
it seems I don't learn or get the  message <br />
don't know you you carry it all by  yourself <br />
How can it be <br />
it doesn't belong, it's so not funny <br />
this vintage of violence again on  parade <br />
and now there's no wonder <br />
no shelter from shame <br />
be alone if you want <br />
be alone if you want <br />
<br />
if you know how to run <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should run <br />
if you know how to play <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should play <br />
if you know how to say <br />
Sweet Virginia, you should say <br />
if you know how to be <br />
be without me, you should be <br />
you should be<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
....blah. ]]></description>

<br />
1. Garden State, I've wanted to see  this ever since I heard about it a  month or so ago, it looks hilarious and  deep, plus Zach Braff who wrote,  directed and starred in it is awesome.<br />
Plus Natalie Portman. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
2. Joan of Arcadia, my sis told me  about this ages ago but I did't believe  her that it was going to be good, and  I've seen the preview, it looks very  good! My kind of show anyway. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> There is some<b>thing</b> that I'm working  on:<br />
<br />
1. There is a certain moment in the  life of a writer, possibly in the  middle of the night, possibly as you  walk along the street that is a sudden  glorious epiphany that you just want to  jump up and down, see I've been waiting  for a simple story idea, because those  are the ones I work best with and here  it is, it's called '<i>Guide Me To Glory'</i><br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /> The one <b>thing</b> annoying me the most  right now is:<br />
<br />
1. CUSTOMERS! GAH! Customer service is  like chewing on glass, but 100 times  less fun! I worked today, and it's a  saturday hence my annoyance at people,  everybody does huge shops on saturdays. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/chainsaw.gif" width="49" height="20" alt=":chainsaw:" title="Chainsaw" /> <br />

But, I knew  alot more than I thought I did so I  think I did pretty well, I doubt I'll  get a VHA tho, most likely an SA,  possibly an HA. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Coles or David Jones...to be or not to  be....this is the question that has  plagued mankind for centuries. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/psychotic.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":psychotic:" title="Psychotic" /><br />
<br />
Well, I called the manager at Coles who  was interested in hiring me and he  asked me to come down this afternoon  for an interview.<br />
<br />
I went down (though not in black and  whites like I always do so that was  wierd....but then I'm just eccentric. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" />)  and blah blah, talked to him, blah blah  and bam! He wanted to hire me then and  there.<br />
<br />
But, I said to give me the night to  think about wether or not I want to go  with DJ or Coles.<br />
<br />
I realised something too, as <a href="http://ya3.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/ya3.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ya3" /></a> pointed  out, I'll get discounts on stuff like  ipods at DJ, however, at Coles since  it's under the ColesMyer umbrella I not  only get Coles discounts but also at  Myer, Kmart, BiLo, Liquorland (like  that will be of any use) and many other  stores. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, last sunday I went to the Black  Eyed Peas concert at Brisbane  Riverstage.<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br />
<br />
my life now has meaning.<br />
<br />
It was bloody fantastic! I went with my  bro coz he gave me the tickets for my  birthday, and frontlining was DJ  Noodles (he was good), Resin Dogs (even  better) and DJ Kristian Herdananz (the  best of the three).<br />
<br />
But after two hours of waiting, mulling  about in the crowd of 10,000 and eating  a corn cob (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bleh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bleh:" title="Bleh" />) the chant went up, 'Black  Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas!'<br />
<br />
And lo and behold  the stage was bathed  in red and blue flashing lights and the  band began to play and a police siren  wailed, then the lights returned to  normal for a brief moment to allow the  black backdrop to fall down and reveal  a white backdrop upon which were the  silhouettes of BEP! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
The police-stuff returned and they sang  'Hands Up', which kicked ass along with  some really cool moves by Taboo and  will. I. am, not to mention Fergie <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Taboo then called out about how  australian women were the most  beautiful, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blahblah.gif" width="37" height="15" alt=":blahblah:" title="You talk too much!" /> and continued with *more*  songs including new ones from the new  album Monkey Business. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br />
<br />
My favourite new one is Pump It, it's  sooooo goood! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sing.gif" width="29" height="20" alt=":sing:" title="Singing" /> Oooh, then they sang 'Where is the  Love' and the crowd went wild, and when  they finished <a href="http://will.i.am">[link]</a> asked everyone to  hold up a lighter or a 'cell phone',  and there were so many lights in the  audience! With 'One World' scrolling  across the backdrop they proclaimed  that as we were doing this they were  sending a message to the poeple of  america....."to get a new president!" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /><br />
<br />
They also did Hey Mama, which rocked  and Shut Up and had this kid doing  break dance moves that blow the mind on  stage and apparently he was only nine!<br />
<br />
Aaaanyway, it was fan-bloody-tastic! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
Oh, and anyone from the semi that's got  photos.....put 'em  up! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahhh. Volleyball.<br />
<br />
It was so much fun, there was a bigting  of sand and a net and the volleyball  was heaver than I expected. Except I  have a problem where my serve is too  strong, it hits the back net....but I  managed to get the hang of the  serve....eventually.<br />
And at first it was like 'AH! FLYING  BALL!' but then it got easier and when  you hit it up (it has to be hit twice  before going over the net) and then  another person hits and it slams it  over the net it's a wonderful feeling  to score a point.....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
And I scored one or two, and there were  these cool peeps that were teaching us  the rules during it and giving us tips. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br />
<br />
And they're (Enoggera) looking for more  people before the season starts so if  any of my peeps are interested send me  a note! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
Went to my David Jones  interview.....maaaaan I want that job!  Think of the discounts! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> I'd love to  work in music&dvds....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sniff.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sniff:" title="Sniff" /><br />
<br />
by the way, who wants to see some grade  5 photos of nathan, clare, charm and  me? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> ]]></description>

Yup. That's on tv right now. Very  catchy and I love the video, it's so  funny.....*cough* yup. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
Hey! I went to my David Jones interview  today, and after three hours of waiting  I finally got in and was asked to come  back to a group interview next week!<br />
W00t! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
Maaaan, I haven't written a journal in  ages. Other things? Well, I'm so glad  you asked, I'm starting <b>volleyball!</b>  IT's gonna be so fuuuuun! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
Hey, people who haven't already (and  those who already have) go look at  these peeps:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pamity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="pamity" /></a> She's so preety, and so fun and  clever, in fact I have  built a shrine  to her made out of toothpicks and  chewing gum in my wardrobe. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Her  drawings are ace!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://claree.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/l/claree.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="claree" /></a> Clare for some reason reminds me of  that girl from Princess Diaries.... and  she has some awesome stuff in the  gallery.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://epona03.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/p/epona03.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="epona03" /></a> Epona rocks my socks. Really, her  stuff is great and she's started  putting up writing again!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://kavindra.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kavindra.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="kavindra" /></a> She's like Epona, but it's like two  cars in different styles....that,  doesn't make sense but she's just as  cool. Plus she's got a sweet story  going. ]]></description>

Well...I was over at brookside putting  in resumes at the stores that were  hiring and I thought hey, why not donut  king?<br />
BAM! That night I got a call asking if  I wanted to goto an interview this  thursday....er....hell yes! I need  work! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
Anyway, then i realised it's the same  franchise that pammy works for <a href="http://pamity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="" /></a> and so  Debbie on the phone said they probably  wouldn't want to put us together in the  same store, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
Aaanyway, so yeah. Donuts.  Mmm.....though I'm pretty sure I'll be  sick of them if I get the job. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bleh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bleh:" title="Bleh" /><br />
<br />
OOooh! I get to goto jujitsu tonight!  how cool is that? I've been wanting to  go for ages! Course, by tomorrow my  arms will probably be aching but hey,  'no pain' eh? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
But I'll probably have to miss a few  lessons while I get into the groove of  a new job, donuts or otherwise.<br />
<br />
Ooooh! Has anyone heard the Polyphonics  Spree song on the radio that goes 'Hold  me now, don't start shaking!' and has  the piano and trumpets and the choir?  It's freakin awesome! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> Except the album  comes out on the tenth of september so  I have to wait. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pissedoff.gif" width="40" height="20" alt=":pissedoff:" title="I am PISSED OFF!" /><br />

YAY! Okay, so what did I get prezzie  wise? Well, from my bro Ed I got a  Faithless cd!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> Yes! I looove  Faithless, especially the P*Nut and  Sister Bliss remix of 'Mass  Destruction'<br />
<br />
! What else? Well my sis printed off  one of my robot cartoons and had it  grafted onto a t-shirt, erm, three  books: Illustrating Picture Books,  Grass for His Pillow and one that  cracked me up 'A Man's Guide: How to  Keep A House' it was hilarious, the  front cover has a 1950's style guy  holding an iron and it lists tips  inside the book like 'How to Check for  Infestations' and 'How to Fix Lighting'  and most funny 'How to Escape a Fire'!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /> <br />
