What I'm hearing:: I Need a Hero from Shrek
Firstly, I have forgotten February, March and April Birthday hellos!
So here goes:
February - Bree and Nikki, hope you girls had happy birthdays, you already got my birthday wishes over at the Haven! Phoebe Hannah, my baby cousin - 13! You're not allowed to grow up yet. And on the 22nd, Eryn, Zoey and Cath's mum! (oh yeah and Chris... but who's counting there?)
March - There's quite a few here, (in no particular order) my uncle Pete, Cherie, her ex Marty (who I haven't seen in months) and this really stupid irritating chick I used to be friends with.
April - Dad, Aunt Ab,Ryan's cousin Emma and stepdad Ronnie... and me! April is busy.
So as for busy April... what?
My last weekend looked something like this:
Thursday: Go to Jay's.. LAN IT UP watch about 6 hours of the Nat Geo channel (I love pay TV), sleep at about 3am.
Friday: Wake up at 10, watch another few hours of Nat Geo, get out of bed at 3, pack up and go to Adays. Observe the Commonwealth Village where Jay worked briefly by driving past at about 80km/h. Struggle to keep Jay in our sights with the absolutely pissing rain the whole way up the eastern freeway. LAN IT UP AT ADAYS
Saturday: Wake up late, have an awesome breakfast thanks to Aday's wonderful, hot, geeky girl Pseudonym. MORE LANNING, including WINNING A QUAKE 3 COMPETITION! OMG! Wo0T! Saturday night, discover that the cat had pissed on our bed. Fuck around till 1am finding something else to keep warm with, retire to panelvan for remarkably comfortable sleep without freezing. (Must be the alcohol that makes sleep in the van hard)
Sunday: Wake up... LAN MORE! Pack up around lunchtime, and head back. Drop things off at various people's houses, and then head off to Ryan's aunt & uncles for a late lunch. Watch 11 children run around screaming looking for easter eggs, all 150 of them. Leave, then head to Monbulk, get to Belgrave and discover the ONLY ROAD through to Monbulk has been closed off. (Apparently a 60 year old lady had a head on and went down the embankment RIP lady) Fuck around more, decide to go around via Olinda... travel up the hill the entire way in 3rd gear with the delightful smell of roasting brakes. Finally arrive at mums, scab chocolate, have egg & bacon sandwiches and listen to the boys admiring various cars. Leave there, and head back via Lilydale. Once back there, we had to arrange blankets for our bed and finally go to sleep... what a lovely sleep in that was 
till 12.
Monday (yesterday): Finally get up and bugger around for a while, then decide to ring a few people, and go meet Ryan's dad for coffee. Enjoy (?) the most abysmal chicken pie (with canned peas in it) I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of eating. Realise that we haven't seen his grandparents in quite some time, visit them, have a coffee and observe the lame bird that keeps comign to the house for scraps of cheese. Be reminded that it is his cousin's birthday and go aroudn to say happy birthday. Recieve and SOS SMS from Jamie saying he's broken his computer, head up there to fix it. Ryan also wants to buy this snare drum Jamie has and so we looked at that as well. Get back in time to realise we've missed dinner, and drive around for another half an hour deciding what we don't want to eat and ending up with Hungry Jack's and Bundy. Settle into bed early to watch Wayne's World (IT HAS MEAT LOAF IN IT - betchya didn't know that) and a fe Stargate Atlantis eps.
PHEW! Busy weekend huh? This must be my longest entry ever! And then the next two weekends, my party, more LANNING the Nickelback concert, and yet more LANNING thrown in, not to mention Meg's arrival from Townsville, another public holiday (ANZAC Day) my blog should be full of exciting rambles!
Happy Easter everyone, I'm off to eat more chocolate.

You may remember a few posts down, posting about this show... anyways it's called Boo Bah...
There's a couple of links to get you started, oh and I retract my previous statement about "Brother" character being Greek, I now believe, with a name like Manuel, that he is Spanish.
Edit, so the links won't link. I'm sure you're all smart enough to do a copy/paste of the URL.

What I'm hearing:: Nothing... random cars etc. Should put on music!
a) people that think that they are sooo damn 1337 that they must HACK a forum and delete everything. No to mention the fact that they weren't intelligent enough to set the date and time correctly either. Retards.
b) people that tell you your relationship won't work, and give it 3 weeks. Upon realising that it's already been 3 weeks, amend this length of time to 3 months, based on the fact that was when their relationship with the same guy went downhill. BAH! 11 months yesterday! Swivel on that!
Actually, there's nothing else shitting me right now. Other than the length of time Centrelink is taking to "process" my info so they can pay me. I'm kind of friggin broke! Pay me already.
Otherwise little is new, as you probably gathered, Ryan and I have reached 11 months, and are more in love than ever.
Oh, and I just joined a volunteer group, so once a week I will be out at a kinder, helping disabled kids. Gives me something to do and more experience, so should be v.cool.
I guess the main reason for this blog was coz Nathan poked me into doing it after the Iris site got hacked. So hi Nathan!
Speaking of Nathan, only 9 days till Meg (his prettyful lady) comes down from Townsville! Which means 10 days till my birthday party, and 16 days till my real birthday and the Nickelback concert! Oh, and LANX, I booked last night. This year for my birthday is going to be sooooo cool! I am very (as Meg would say) BING about the upcoming events.
Centrelink better pay me before my birthday though... a girl can't live on birthday drinks alone. Oh, better ring Alison and invite her too... long way to come with the kids, but we'll see.

What I'm hearing:: Computer Fans
Well... I'm back at point a reapplying to centrelink and being registered as a jobseeker.
They are aware that I'm going back to TAFE, but until I get confirmed enrollment (and I can't until April/May as they are not sure if there will be second semester intake until then) I have to be a jobseeker. Which means looking for work. SHIT. 
I don't really want to commit to any work until I know what is going on with TAFE. So I need a casual job. (ie: means I will almost certainly need to be a checkout chick as they are casual placements) As I write I am currently filling in a Woolworths form.
What else? I am currently extremely broke. I can't even have a coffee with Nath or something like that. That's how little I have. And Centrelink can't arrange anything for at least a WEEK! And this means longer w/out cash.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Coles Myer want a scanned copy of my last school report. WTF? As if I have one! And sure I passed... but it's not that crash hot.
Ryan however is still loveable and gorgeous. I can't help but be happy around him. I love him to bits. We have been together almost 11 months. 11! I don't know where the time went. Seriously... one day I'm with Chris and the next thing I know, I've fallen head over heels for Fungus and living with him at his mum's. WTF?
We have been pretty stressed lately though with the lack of cash. Even still, he managed to balance things enough to take me out for a wonderful dinner at one of my favourite restaurants the other night. It was lovely being able to be with him all by myself for a change and to do something nice.
(He doesn't like holding hands over the table though... must change that. I am quite fond of it, expecially when we're out for a romantic dinner.)
I've just realised I miss colouring books. I have always enjoyed them and it just occured to me that I would love to have one again. Childish huh?
I have also decided I hate a lot of girls my age. The majority of them irritate me... seriously. This whole being awesome if you can get with a bunch of faggy guys, and starve yourself to death, not to mention dressing alike and backstabbing your "friends" ARG! Is it any wonder I am closer to a lot of males than females?
Speaking of close male friends, Nathan is irritating. Not only does he believe that sultanas go in curry, but he cannot spell the name Kaylie correctly. What is this Double "e" bullshit? LOL, I get it... Double E... bra size, I'm sure it's got something to do with that. Even though as far as I'm aware Nathan follows the "anything more than a handful or a mouthful is a waste" creed. I have it now... oh there will be much teasing of Nathan...
It's 2pm now... Ryan won't be home for almsot 2 more hours. I wonder what I can do, seeing as I've been approriately active in arranging some kind of $, and now need to bludge.
Oh, that's right. Dodgy electrician (speaking of bludging) So, something tripped the safety switch last night. And continued to do so. We turned everything off and reset it, no luck. Anyway Mr Electrician bloke came around today, unplugged everything and fiddled. I honestly don't think he did anything, but we have power back now, and Julia is $150 poorer. $150 for a bloke to come, switch shit off, unplug everything and tur the ower back on?? ARG! He reckons it's the central heating doing it apaprently. I'm not sure... he also insinuated it could be "pets often urinate on power sockets which can cause faults" RIGHT.
Wow.. long post for me. Arg. Well Best be off I need food.
