04:38 pm - nice day
The fans were on in my lecture theatre this morning. Which wouldn't normally bother me at all. But I wore some jeans today that I haven't worn for a long time and either I've shrunk or they've grown so the ankles were dragging along today's freshly-wet streets. So during my lecture all I could think about was how cold my ankles were. So I rolled them up and looked dorky right in front of the girl who used to look just like Marissa Cooper. Why did I have to look so dorky in front of this girl who is so cool? I really like her voice too. Its the voice I would have if I were a girl. Deep yet feminine. I've never even spoken to this pseudo-Marissa and I'm sure she'd freak out if she read this. I'm not obsessed with her. Honest!
In a worse state than my jeans though was my pair of thongs. If you know me you've seen them. My favourite pair of thongs since October 2005 so I guess it is time I invested in a new pair. Because of the rain and the grip-free pavement my thongs that have worn thin were sliding everywhere. The people walking near me would have been worried that I would fall over but somehow, contrary to modern physics I managed to stay upright and semi-safe.
This was followed by my journey home. On the way to my bus I wanted to use the toilet so I went into city cross arcade. The normal entrance was blocked so I went in through the newsagency and, not wanting the news man to feel bad about his empty shop, pretended to look for a book. He asked if I needed help and was really nice and I felt bad about dashing out of the store. But there I was met by this guy who looked pretty well-to-do guy who said he was homeless and wanted '2 bucks for Maccas, bruv'. He kept following me even after I said I didn't have any. He still kept following as he said 'I don't wanna take it off ya, bruv'. As I walked faster he fell behind and said 'have a nice fuckin day bruv'
And I really am. Today is a nice fuckin' day. Bruv.

08:59 pm - From friday night to Sunday night...only backwards.
So right now I'm getting ready to type out some notes from my statistics lecture this week. I find it hard to know what it is that I'm expected to know. I don't know what they're going to be testing me on. It makes me a little uncomfy because if I don't know where they want me to go I don't know where to start.
I made my own paneer for my dinner "paneer on toast with sweet chilli sauce". It was basically to test how to make it because that's what I've gotta cook for the family thing next week and I wanted to make sure that I knew how to do it instead of just thinking I knew how to do it.
Before that I had a drink at my sisters house. I was laying on the floor and my 2-year old niece says to me "massage me Brett". So I did and she fell asleep there on the floor with me massaging her. It was too cute.
I've been studying on and off all day and doing bits here and there but the highlight of my day was walking Johnee to TTP to catch a bus. I was tired but wanted to walk him there so I made myself get out of bed and the morning air did me good.
I guess that another reason that I was happy to get out of bed was that I had a really horrible dream that Natalie was REALLY upset with me and yelling and angry because I couldn't go out with her after work one night. I was trying to explain that I was tired but she was just upset. :(
Last night was Andrew's birthday party at his house. On his way to pick me up, Johnee's brake pads wore completely off. So he waited an hour for the RAA to come and then another hour for a tow. We got to the party at 10:30ish though and it was still going on. It was so good to see Andrew and I had a really fun time. I hadn't seen a couple of the guys for maybe a year and it felt really comfortable to just sit around and chat and I couldn't believe how quickly it became 1:30 and so it was time to go. One of the nicest things about this party was this guy I'd never actually met before telling me that I reminded him of his best friends. I realised that's probably one of the nicest compliments that you can get from anyone. It made me really happy. As did the chocolate sauce and icecream and cake that we had as a birthday cake for Andrew.
Mum made a rich coconut soup for dinner filled with prawns, scallop and perch and this made me high. It was so good. Mum and dad were really proud of me because I showed them my Golden Key association invitation and I think they'd been worrying about my grades. But that set their minds at ease that their son was still a scholarly boy and that my work schedule - though criminally insane - doesn't effect how well I'm doing at uni too much.
Saturday day was work and study. I had this couple - lets call them Solange and Flentje - who I find really intimidating. I think because they are young and they are assertive and she used to do dancing before...it makes me feel a little scared of them. But every time they have their lessons with me they leave happy. You know those shows that are about how ballroom dancing has 'fixed' broken lives like 'Mad Hot Ballroom' and 'take the lead'? Well Solange and Flentje are sort of...rough...maybe poorer than average...maybe a little more disadvantaged than others...and I sort of think that I'm helping them to find this other world beyond that stuff.
Does that sound conceited? hehe
Friday night I saw Over The Hedge. I like the soundtrack.
Johnee and Rachel picked me up from work and it was nice to see them and we had fun on the way home :)
Before work I had an awesome afternoon with Su and Esha sipping water at Starbucks while eating my noodles...
Good weekend.

10:53 pm - from the library
he last day or so has been full of flighting but fantastic encounters with
people that I hadn't seen for much too long.
it started with a milkshake with natalie in the afternoon. although i'd seen
nat on tuesday night there were 14 other people around at the same time so I
didn't really get to talk to her much. so we met up for an hour and a half to
chat and it was really nice and relaxing.
after work I rang a few people to see if anyone was in the city for fringe.
After finding out that Jess and Alicia were I made my way to go and eat some
of their bread and pizza. On the way I spoke to Diana (which I think
influenced my dreams...) and it was awesome to talk to her.
Jess and Alicia and I walked around for an hour just chatting and searching
for churros that weren't anywhere to be seen. Was a good night and even though
i was so tired I was glad to be chilling with those girls and it was a nice
end to my thursday.
Last night I dreamed about Hiroshi who was actually called Daniel (maybe this
is where Diana's influence came in) and he had a girlfriend (not Diana just a
random) and I think I wanted to sleep with them (not actually for sex...just
sleep in the bed) and we all ate candy that the girlfriend gave us while
watching some movie. I was really relaxed and happy when I woke up.
In the morning I SMSd Bahareh (because Diana and I were talking about how cool
she is) and Hiroshi (to tell him about his girlfriend) and even though they
are both in totally different timezones they both replied really quickly which
made me excited.
So that was how I got to talk to some awesome people I hadn't talked to in
such a long time. It was nice.
Anyway I'm gonna go study so that I can have a couple of nights out this
weekend.

04:37 pm - 3 Lovely things...
***
1
I just had my last lesson with the nicest couple in the history of my dance teaching. Paula and Joe (oh my they are so lovely) are getting married in a couple of days and although we only had a few lessons together they were so lovely and I wish that I could see what their wedding dance looks like on their big day.
Because I was inspired by their loveliness to write a long overdue post I decided that rather than go home for 1.5hrs I would instead come here to uni to do some writing. There are some LONG overdue emails that I have to reply to as well.

Last night the girls came along to my work and it was so exciting to see them. It had been too long since I'd seen them. And because I'm so focused on Uni this semester I feel bad...but hopefully at the end of the semester I will be back into a normal routine again! Anyway Dani gave me the most awesome invite to her 21st and I'm not going to miss it for the world. I can't wait for the big day!!!!
***
3
This morning my mum wrote me a note and stuck it to my door frame that said she was missing seeing me! Because I'm working until 10 or so most nights and working hard at uni most days I don't see mum and dad very much. But it was sweet of her to write.

09:53 pm - November 3rd...
I ran my Mixi post from today through a jap -> eng online traslator because I'm too tired to write it all again. The first person who kinda understands it gets a kiss!!!
Though it was a birthday of Grandmother today, I did not go to drink tea with a family. Why is it?…There is not it with the Grandmother so peacefully.
But good day だったよ - ん!
I froze in a house until 1:00, and a dance sang! I was the best. I seem to have a party. I んちに comes this time, and it is song ってよ, everybody together. Really. I become therapy and sleep.
Oh, but I was very happy today.
It was lovers and the pleasant dance lesson that taught a dance of a wedding ceremony!

10:35 pm - halva~!!! 食いてえええ~~
after having my halva cherry - not popped - gently and sweetly prised open last night I am suffering withdrawl symptoms.
where can I buy some more? and is it healthy enough to eat a bit every day?
And why can't I just sit down and put the finishing touches on this essay???
I'm gonna try to do it tonight with the soothing sound of the killers to help me through it all.

ok... the student centre is my brand new favourite place to be.
it makes me excel.
NINE OTHER POINTS ABOUT TODAY
- had lunch at a vegetarian garden (which, while not as flamboyantly visually exciting as noodles yesterday with Zoe...was still pretty nice)
- I looked for and still could not find out what my vodafone "m-charge" relates to...
- I started to really feel fluent in dvorak
- Rachel messaged me to tell me that she will be in Adelaide this weekend!!! Can't remember whether or not I have plans already...I feel like I do
- I woke up from a dream where my parents wanted me to drive them back to Adelaide (who knows where they supposedly were) with no license and then once there I picked up Dani and took her to the airport to see Peter Valega off to then have Nat come over and get mad at me in my backyard in front of my parents for not taking her to the airport too.
- Have 5 lessons tonight
- feel a bit tanned
- deleted all my old emails from Uni admin and now have HEAPS of free space
- had a boost bar. they are so masculine.

11:53 am - nice lil' weekend
Had the best little weekend ever!!!
Friday and Saturday saw VIP Dance Studio on a field trip out at a little
random shopping centre. On Friday Georgina and I more or less made it all up
on the spot because the music seemed to be choosing itself. We rocked on
Saturday though because we knew what we were doing. I had left all the
preparation until the last day and so I guess a little initial uncertainty was
inevitable.
Friday night was Family Karaoke Time!!! Mum and Dad warmed up a little after
we all started singing and they were stars by the end of it!!! It was a very
belated birthday celebration for me (by almost 2 months!!!) and a pre-surgery
celebration for dad who is due to go into hospital this friday. Send your
wishes out there for him, y'all.
Saturday was Jason's 21st Birthday where karaoke, buko pie, blue chocolate and
this scared girl with scared eyes ensured the nights success. Had an AWESOME
time as I always do whenever I put a few filipinas and a microphone together
to equal party.
From the party it was out to see Michelle for her last night in Adelaide and
she wasn't even there!!! Luckily for us Zoe, Alicia, Pam, Jess and Tizzy were
and they were lovely. It was awesome to see them. Karli, Amy, Lauren and Amy's
sweet Jazz friend were there too having some cocktails and it had been AGES
since I'd seen them and it was good to chat. Kim was also out for her 21st and
Lisa, Trang and Katrina were also having a ladies' night out but were too
scared to come to Mars with us because they thought they wouldn't fit in.
So Johnee and I headed off to Mars to DANCE up a storm which we did. As soon
as we headed down the stairs I see Adrian who I'd just recently connected with
on myspace over a shared Hamasaki Ayumi obsession (though he's a little more
obsessed than me). We danced until we could dance no more and then we chatted
to some girls out on their hens night who later danced like crazy with us.
I finished the night off with some fries from Hungry Jacks.
And an Orange Juice :)
Ok... now I'd better dash and work on my Japanese presentation which needs to be more pretty according to my teacher.
