Does it ever occur to anybody else that everything we do is done to please others? Our jobs are done to keep other staff, clients, customers, our boss happy. We obey the law to keep the cops happy. We keep our houses tidy to impress others. We dress not to feel good about ourselves, but to gain the approval of those around us. Doing everything to ( Read more... )

Certainty is a wonderful thing.

I thought I knew what I wanted with life. If you'd asked me 12 months ago I would have told you that I knew...but then life does what it does best, screwed me over and turned my world upside down, and for the last 12 months I've been in a major spin, keeping pushing myself in a career direction that I thought I wanted ( Read more... )

I didn't think it was possible for 2009 to be worse than 2008, but it hasn't got off to a great start ( Read more... )

Another interview, another fucking rejection. And people wonder why I hate job-hunting so much ( Read more... )

I just watched the first episode of Bondi Vet.

And I am hurt and confused as to why, as to HOW people can be so cruel to animals. I just can't understand.

Neighbours annoyed at a dog which constantly barked fed it snail bait. Poor thing only just managed to pull through.

Stoning cats to ( Read more... )

I know the air was never easy
Over on that hatchback seat
With the sound of lonely counting down
Where hoping didn't meet

And the sun went down on a parking lot

I just had a freakin' awesome day!!

Found a CD I'd been searching for and I LOVE it! ("Rearrange Beds" - An Horse) - they supported Tegan and Sara on their tour and they were really good, their CD is fantastic!

Found pretty much the greatest T-shirt bra EVER - Berlei Barely There contour. So comfortable and gives such a flattering shape. For more ( Read more... )

Oh the time of my innocent childhood. So many cherished memories...and so many I'd rather forget...!

I'm thinking of throwing a party dedicated to the 90s and been throwing together a pretty awesome playlist.

Black Velvet - Alannah Myles
One Week - Barenaked Ladies
Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
It's Oh So Quiet - Bjork
...Baby One More Time - ( Read more... )

Done!

I've finally bitten the bullet and I've sent my application for the course!

Now it's just a matter of waiting for a letter from SATAC...

Mega huge cleaning mood today. All the Christmas decorations have gone, and I'm currently putting off venturing in to my room until after lunch.

Then work tonight. I'm glad I'm not rostered on Friday - the Tour ( Read more... )

Cause I'm too cool to post an UPdate.

Yeah it was pretty lame wasn't it?

I have absolutely no idea what's gonna happen this year. Job opportunities are next to nil, what with the financial crisis there aren't a lot of full-time jobs, if any, available in the area I want to in Adelaide. I'd consider moving to Melbourne one day, but I'm not quite ( Read more... )
