[28/09/08] In which their is horribleness, epicness and I may have possibly been drunk

Horribleness was work yesterday - my sister owes me one big time. It was boiling in the shop, and there were so many customers that it was a work out. And I would have easily sold at least $500 worth of bread. Customers just come in and ask for 34 long rolls. 34! We made many many long rolls yesterday. We also ran out of white blocks at one stage. And omgwtf, Luke's back. He's just baking though. Back when I started, Luke trained me. I had to be retrained. I thought maybe he was just back for Grand Final day or something, like how Benita was back for Easter, but it seems as if Ben's left and he has returninated. I was really confused when I saw him yesterday. And then today Katrina said "who's that?" and I said "Luke". She was as confused as me. Today couldn't have been more different from yesterday. Sadly I wasn't given the day off. But I saw the Amy child! She has returninated from China.

Epicness was the Grand Final itself - if you don't like football, skip this paragraph. Wow. I can't normally sit down and watch football, but I think that a rugby fan would have enjoyed that match. There was more tackling than anything else, so it pretty much was a rugby game. There may have been more rushed behinds (low point) and free kicks against Chance Bateman though. For a large portion of the match I was trying to make football players the Marauders from Harry Potter. You see, there's a Mooney, a Pettigrew, at least one Black (one that I know of) and I'm trying to find a Potter. Only one of these players was actually in the grand final, but oh well. Oh yeah, Hawthorn won, which proves that you can't take things for granted. Geelong should have - they won last year and only lost one match this year, and they were too relaxed. Yeah, enough about football.

I was late to Heather's 18th because mum wanted to watch the end of the match, and then I drove there. I really need more driving practise. I don't know how I'm going to get 120 fucking hours. John Brumby ftl. I stalled twice. Once at the fucking High st/Warrigal rd intersection. That is one bitch of an intersection. There was so much alcohol considering that not everyone had some. I hope that Kim's okay this morning. I don't think Cath had any last night. She and I (and Em I guess) are sometimes drinkers. That still doesn't change the fact that I had three drinks. I've never had more than one because I usually have work the next day. I still had work today. So we did some stuff - ie talking and teasing Meagan for a bit. Then some people migrated outside for dinner and Cath was singing "Everybody look at the moon".

Then we roasted marshmallows, which was awesome. By this stage people had migrated to Heather's room. Oh, I forgot! Heather's mum put Michael Bublé, so Em and I performed Sway with choreograpy. Yes, you read that right. Kim said the first of many funny things, which was "what if I marry someone who isn't as awesome as me?" Sadly I don't remember many of the funny things, and won't repeat the other I heard, which will be a blog title. The more hyper people at this stage were in Heather's room and the others were outside. The living room had been abandonned. I went outside for a bit again because Em wanted to toast more marshmallows and they were having a discussion about baby names. Apparently Harmony is quite popular.

Then there was the ultimate part of the party (hee hee, part of the party): Dancing crazily to 90s music. Em didn't know how I knew all the words to 'Two in a million' by S Club 7. I love S Club 7, even though it's not cool. Sadly there was no Backstreet Boys. There was Destiny's Child though. And then, the most upsetting thing happened, which was that the CD was scratched around the area of 'All the small things' by Blink 182. So it jumped, which was horrible, I was on Heather's bed at that stage. Cat wanted me to strip. I did not.

The question: was I drunk? The answer: 42. I probably wasn't - tipsy at the most - I can remember most of what happened. I think it's that so often I want to act insane but don't. I'm an extrovert in hiding. Or something like that. Also, Kim was drunk enough (I don't quite know how much) for a few people. What was funny was when I left, and Heather's mum told her to see me out. I just looked at her, because we both knew that she probably shouldn't have been standing up. So it was a good day. Yes, that one.

Also... DOCTOR WHO TONIGHT!!!!!!!!

[22/09/08] Backstreet Boys and a rant about work.

I have to tell this story about me singing the Backstreet Boys as it's so hilarious. At my sister's 21st, which was about a month ago, "I Want it That Way" was on the playlist, and came on. So my friend Emma, who I love dearly, and I decided to start singing it. Children of the nineties, we are. We did realise to an extent that we were embarrassing ourselves, but so what? I'm still a rock star, I've got my rock moves, and I don't need you tonight. Uh, yeah. Anyway, my sister at this point was speaking to her Political Interest Society friends and was talking about the possibility of me going to Melbourne next year (I really want to), and they wanted to meet me. Luckily my sister decided that maybe it wasn't the best time to introduce me then.

A rant about work. I do not like being awoken to the sound of my mobile at 8:30 in the morning to see whether I can work for someone from 10-4:30. The person who asked me to work had a specialist appointment. We have some adults at BD, and this was one of the said adult staff members. Here's the thing. My boss has had a really hard time filling the Monday shifts as it is. Specialist appointments are booked months in advance, and sure, maybe she couldn't get another time. So two things - (1) if this was a specialist appointment and she knew it would be happening for a while, she should have found someone else to work for her ages ago, because (2) it's the school freaking holidays and I wonder if it was booked then specifically. And I just got a message (though it may have been sent ages ago, I don't check my phone often) to ask if I could work that shift tomorrow. I can't, as I am working another shift tomorrow. Oh how I hate school holidays in regards to work. I've been there two years now, which I think means that I get another loyalty bonus. What they do is add up all the hours you've worked for an entire year and then divide it by 52 so you get a week's pay.

So that wasn't as ranty as I expected. I might post a blog about the most recent episode of Doctor Who. I've watched it twice now :P

[10/08/08] Driving with Leah is fun!

So mum and I went up to Monash uni, which is where we always go, and we were doing the usual Blackburn road thing and I got distracted by an overtaking truck. Now I want to find that clip from Thank God You're Here in Season One where they're Big Brother housemates and I think it's Frank Woodley says "I nominate Hamish (or some other person, I forget who) because in the middle of the night, he gets up and shines his torch in my face and yells TRUCK!!!!!!" Now I've managed to distract myself from the actual blog post... oh yeah. So there was a truck and it was turning right, and I was all "ooers, he's going the same place we are", and mum said "no, he's going to the freeway". And I missed my turnoff, which I found the most hilarious thing in the world. Because I thought our turn off was after the freeway, but it was before. Lol. So I sort of drove home. Well I got up to Chadstone and mum was all "let's go to the residential streets because it's this certain time on a Sunday night", even though I'd gotten home from there at that time on a weeknight, which is crazier, because it's peak hour. Oh, and then I missed another turnoff.

What else? Work was fucking cold. That's an understatement. Compared to today, 15 degrees is practically summer. Yes, I work in a bakery, but on a day like today, when it's supposedly 5 degrees outside (as it was 5 degrees in the city, it was cooler here), it makes no difference. The ovens have no effect out the front. The shop is open to the street and when it's windy and raining, it's not fun. And there's this corner of the shop that's always colder. Anyway, I was talking to my boss, as I always do, and I told her that we had a heaters off day for global warming and such and she said "Why would you do that? You should do it in summer!" I don't think I've laughed that hard for a while. Oh, and the news said that this has been one of Melbourne's coldest days in a while. I just don't know how long. Probably a couple of years, at least. Which proves my point

I am helping Amy with organising her 18th, and there's a "How well do you know Amy?" quiz. I get to write the questions for the MSN category. One of them concerns the treasure map, which I'll put here, and the other one concerns the time Lizy said something along the lines of "AMY! What do you mean you had sex on the couch?" Also, I find it very amusing that Amy calls Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novac Djokovic "Roughy, Roger and Slinky"


I just got so distracted by YouTube. I was looking for that clip of Thank God You're Here, got distracted by Hamish Blake and then found a hilarious Summer Heights High clip of Mr G's class playing Thank God You're Here. The other significant thing that's happened is that I've been writing my yearbook page, as well as my novel. Yes, I'm writing a novel, it's pretty fun. And I was going to write a lot more about it here, but I won't.


And "Bras, the musical" will happen.

So I will put a clip of Thank God You're Here in this post. The one with Josh Lawson as the fireman. He's awesome at it. Why can't that show come back this year? Also, is the Chaser taking a year off as well? That would suck. And I want Gruen back. Or more IT Crowd, though they need to film season 3. Or Torchwood.
