The Australian Thread: Part Nineteen


Rainbow Sky

Recommended Posts

Thanks. and LOL yeah, I sliced my finger pretty bad one day trying to get a rush job done, but I didn't get blood on the artwork so all was good.

 

We had to proofread too, it was pretty crazy cause we did all the menus for the qantas flights and a lot of the time I was reading French and German which I can't speak, I bet they went out riddled with mistakes.

 

I was working for a firm that printed correspondence courses, so was quite often proofreading "A" level French and German. I didn't understand any of it.

 

Some of the stuff was surprisingly interesting - Brick Laying Theory, Geography - but as for Contract Law and Insurance - dull, dull, dull :thumbdown:

I finished Breaking Dawn :sad:

(and I started last night)

 

 

 

 

 

 

*tries to convince you otherwise*

Cling to what little nothingness you have!

 

 

 

 

 

I read it super quick the first time as well.

 

What did you think of it?

 

And I'm over nothingness. Though the last week back has a few "last chance catch ups before we're back at uni"'s planned. And quitting my job on Monday, provided the manager who I need to tell is in (should go down today to check that he will be).

 

I have been here, but I haven't posted anything because there was nobody to talk to. :naughty:

 

*uses same excuse*

 

Was here but noone else was, and I couldn't think of any okd style post whore topics to talk about.

 

 

Morning all, how are we all?

 

I need to get back into a "normal" sleeping/waking pattern (meaning waking at 9/9:30 so I can make my 10am classes)

Mother Rosie is away for the weekend, and Brother Rosie is at his dad's, so guess who has the house all to herself until Sunday night?? :groovy:

 

Bec, Ouzie is SEXY! :mf_lustslow:

 

Thought you might enjoy this - I think it's hilarious!!!

HK just received her new reading glasses & is astonished at the poor vision she has been putting up with for the last 3 months ...

 

As I'm still set to screen magnify ... everything is sooooo clear !!!

 

Isn't it amazing? When I first tried on my glasses I felt enlightened. :roftl:

 

I have a major dilemma. I have to choose a stethoscope colour. And I'm getting a freaking expensive good quality one so I won't have to replace it. Meaning I am going to be stuck with this colour choice for the rest of my life. I don't think I've ever had to make such a difficult decision. And my dad is trying to hurry me because he wants one too and we have to order them together.

 

I would be glad of assistance or opinions!

I would've gone with this one but you picked raspberry. :rolls_eyes:

 

Man, it feels like ages since I've been on MFC...probably because it has been ages...

Thank ye.

Enjoy your time to yourself.

 

I may be home alone Labor day long weekend, since uni doesn't recognise labor day as a holiday, and I have a monday class. But then, I might just skip that class.

 

Not quitting my job yet, since a manager I know has just gone into rostering, so I'll change my availability and give it a few more weeks. Still no shifts, then I quit

I wasn't annoyed at Ambrose - just you for not posting pics :naughty:

 

i know that, but he wouldn't believe me! He gets such a bad conscience :sad:

Nice :naughty:

 

I read it super quick the first time as well.

 

What did you think of it?

 

Ummmm. It was good I guess. I got really annoyed at the POV change, I see why it was neccessary, but the inside of his head is stupid, I much prefer Bella's. I also got really annoyed at the various people who had together given away the entire plot points of that book. Except for what happens to Jacob, and when I found that out I had to put the book down and laugh for like 10 minutes.

Hello Aussies! How is life across the ditch?

 

I just woke up. i decided to lie down for a few minutes on my bed at 2oclock. now its 7pm and my whole family's gone to a bbq and left me at home. they didn't even wake me up! :lol3:

 

Don't you hate when that happens? :rolls_eyes: All of a sudden, the day is GONE...and you always feel really groggy afterwards as well...

Hopefully you get it.

 

They used to give me shifts the one day I was available when I went on holiday, now nothing despite weeks of availability. So time for something new.

 

Have fun at u23d

 

Hopefully I do... I'll find out soon enough...

 

 

Oh, and I did have fun... :das: Adam looked soo pretty... and big...

 

Haven't heard anything of it myself yet but I see it's got some excellent reviews.

 

Ooooh, it's good... apparently you can access it through their myspace page, but I can't see where you go... And there's only one more week till it's released!

 

Oooh, what's that?

 

they do car and house insurance, and do the road side assistance... sort of like RACV or whatever you have in WA...

Sooorry... I don't think I told you anything about BD...

 

 

And that bit was just bloody weird...

 

The Kooks forum goes down like 3 times a day, and it's on the official kooks website. We have it sooo much better on our "porn server" that people complain about.

 

You might want to mention that to the people who whine about the server going down next time...

Wow... I'm surprised no-one's posted...

 

Well, I had a lot of fun at U23D... we ended up being 5 rows from the front, and bloody hell things were close...

 

We started off with Adam being right in our faces (not that I minded, but it was unexpected), and a few times he swung the bass around right in front of the camera and it looked really close! I don't think I realised how close he was...

 

I also noticed something else when Bono introduced him... the girls that were in front of Adam when he walked down to the end of the catwalk were :bow:ing to him as Bono introduced him... I joined in the :bow:ing.. and I :bow:ed a few times when Larry came up... and Edge...

 

 

It was gooood... I also asked if they had any posters or anything, but they'd gotten rid of them all! :tears:

 

I would've happily taken one of the massive big banners, but I don't think they were able to give them away...

 

 

Today, we went ice skating... Zoe fell down 4 times, and I didn't fall down at all... and we also had a hot guy who worked there talking to us when we went on the ice...

 

After we skated, we went to DFO... I ended up buying gold high tops, an "I love my chucks" t shirt, 2 pairs of jeans, some pjs and bras, some clothes for the kids and a pair of Bono style sunnies... they're pretty...

 

 

 

Oh, and I took a pic of Edge's cinema (The Edge cinema in Katoomba), and a pic of Adam's Shed (which interestingly enough, sells wine :blink::no:)

 

 

And that was about it... I want to go back and watch it again though... :sad:

Oh yeah, the pov change was annoying (but I did like the parts where he would think a random thought and edward would pick it up)

 

And the Jacob stuff is funny. I do get irritated a bit about how fanficcy and perfect it all turns out though

Sounds like you had a great time and awesome scores on the clothes front.

 

I spent today watching Dead Like Me (a great show, a movie just came out for it, and I realised I'd never seen that much of the series cos it was on a sunday and I was never here on sundays then.. so download it we did)

You wouldn't know this Silv ... but if you read a few pages back in the 'blog' thread ..... it's a touch sensitive ... this topic above ... :wub2::wink2:

Where is everyone? :emot-sad:

 

Sometimes poor Happi is the only Aussie around :blink:

Haha !! Not 'poor Happi' !!!

Nico & Soangel have been here very recently !! Just that I happen to span timezones 'cos I have sleeping issues ... :rolls_eyes:

Also, I think Kelz might be away 'cos she's been a bit unwell ... :wub2:
