Although I didn't exactly get to see the parade going on, just the sheer excitement and joy coming from all those happy faces on the streets of the city really made me happy. What I didn't like about Mardi Gras though, was how some people can be really rude and diss the event, saying gays are no good to society. Guess what peeps? YOUR FACE ISN'T GOOD FOR SOCIETY!
I was watching the streets in the city, everywhere you looked, rainbow colourd flags, pink clothing, glitter, people giving blow jobs in playgrounds, hookers on the streets, the hundreds of cleaners quickly trying to clean up the rubbish of the confetti from the floats and alcohol. True spirit of mardi gras.
P.S: I start uni 2morrow, boo hoo =(

The Art of Awkwardness - Part 2?
Talking about relationships, or potential relationships to someone you isn't exactly close to you, is pretty weird. But it's pure awkward when that person you are talking to, is your boss.
Fair enough, my boss is an okay person. He understands things about people my age that you wouldn't expect someone of his age to know. He gets that people these days are just utter idiots, and that some of them just have no manners what so ever and the only way to fight back is to literally fight back verbally and physically if it comes down to it.
But today, the conversation we had between the both of us in the kitchen made me feel a bit awkward. He asked the simplest question, "Do you like someone?", like the douchebag I am, I'm not entirely sure about the "like" part of that question. So I told him, "maybe". There's a fine line between liking someone and knowing the most you can be is friends. I think I've finally come to that point where I can't tell the difference between the two anymore, and to the point where I honestly don't give two shits about relationships anymore. Sure I dream about it, but at the same time, I dont need a man to define who I am and what I'm going to do in life. Yes, it all sounds cliche and dumb, but I think (and this doesn't apply to every couple), that the only reason people become couples, is for the label. So that they can flaunt and boast about it to their friends that they have a "boyfriend" or in banging my "girlfriend" or make some lousy excuse why they can't come out tonight because their "boyfriend" doesn't want them going to too late at night. BULLSHIT!
I think it's difficult for anyone to find a good balance between friends and boy/girl friend. Most couples either fight because they aren't spending enough time with each other, or they are spending TOO much time with each other that they become possessive. Or the boy/girl friend doesn't like his girl/boy friends best friend. PLEASE! I don't get it? I find no reason for anyone to be jealous of someones best friend. People these days!

One Week Down, Who Know's How Many More To Go
My sister has been gone for about a week and a bit on her trip around South America. She regularly updates me with photos from her trip, the places she sees, the people she meets, the clothes she is wearing and the things she buys me, and I am UBERLY jealous.
She gets to spend three months travelling from beach to beach, meeting hot British tourists, dancing the streets of Rio, while I have to start uni next week. This sucks!
I've always wanted to go around the world, solo. Experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and coming home with a refreshed new perspective on life. My eyes have just been open to Blacktown and nothing really much beyond it. The furthest I've been without my parents has been up the coast. But maybe in a few years time, when I've got a stable job and finished my degree, I will embark on my own worldwide journey.
My sister's trips is pretty much all in South America, apart from the occassional stop over in Denver, Canada and the Philippines. But if I was to customize my own trip I'd like to go at least one country per continent.
I've heard so much about Thailand. A lot of people I know have gone to Thailand and came back saying how awesome it is, how blue the water is, how the parties go off and how many prostitutes and hookers there are on the streets. Besides, everything is cheap cheap cheap over there! I SO WANNA GO!!!
Whenever someone asks me where in the world do I want to travel to, I always seem to say Germany. I don't know exactly why, maybe its the history part of it all, or the breathtaking scenary, or the outrageous drinking fests they have over there or a combination of all, it just sounds so lovely.
Being an absolutely Disney crackwhore, I HAVE, repeat, HAVE to go to Disneyland in America. Without a doubt, my life will not be complete unless I go to Disneyland. I have a list of what I plan to do in America, if I was to go.

- DISNEYLAND (both parks, if possible =P)
- Christmas in New York, and Ice skating at Rockefeller Centre
- Watch a Phoenix Suns basketball game
- Get a tattoo at Miami Ink
- Watch Saturday Night Live, live in New York
- MIAMI BEACH!!!
- Spend Halloween and Thanksgiving in America to see what all the fuss is about
New Zealand is apparently the place to be these days. With most movies using New Zealand as the back drop to their movies, its become such a tourist site. But, I don't wanna go New Zealand just to see where Frodo and the Hobbits hid from the Nazgul's or whatever they are. I want the thrill part of it all. I wanna go on the giant swing and bungee jump and go white water rafting.
As an animal scientist in training, I would so love to travel down to Africa on a safari. Swimming with the sharks, watching the lions rest in the sun, giraffes outside my window after I wake up, hot summer days!!!
And like the stalker that I am, I NEED to go to England and stalk my lover, BEN BARNES! (yes I am still fascinated with him after two years, LEAVE ME ALONE!). Here is my opportunity to be the ultimate tourists and visit the tourist spots, like Platform 9 3/4, the red telephone booths, Big Ben, all that jazz.

"Let's Get Naked"
So here's Valentine's Day in a nutshell. (SORRY FOR SPOILERS TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED!)
I was overall impressed =). My first impression was that the cluster of all these Hollywood actors and actresses would just overshadow the movie itself. For a romantic comedy, it had it's moments. My personal favourite stories were definitely Jennifer Garner with her "best-friend" turned "boyfriend" Ashton Kutcher and Emma Roberts with her high school boyfriend Carter Jenkins. Surprisingly, even though the opportunity arose, Taylor Lautner managed to keep his shirt ON the entire movie, but his friend, Carter Jenkins couldn't resist ;). And might I say, that boy has something going on ;), it takes balls to serenade your girlfriend naked in her room, moments before planning to have sex.
The Taylor's, even though I love them both, for different reasons, pissed me off the entire movie! The girl, no offence, cannot act! Even if she is playing dumb. And Lautner, well .. what can I say? He's like any normal teenage actor, still trying but not succeeding.
The whole "gay" footballer thing was funny. Topher Grace and Anne Hathaway were pretty good. Loved the whole phone sex entertainer aspect, funny shit! Oh and I got to add, Jessica Biel, SMOKING HOT!!!! Throughout the film you could connect everything so easily, for example, Cesar said the moment Julia Roberts appeared on scrren, she is returning home to see her son who is the same boy from the old couple story who is in love with his school teacher, Jennifer Garner. And I predicted that Jennifer Garner and her best-friend, Ashton would end up together and that Jessica Biel and Jamie Foxx would end up together. And David, sort of predicted that Patrick Dempsey was still married. Loved how EVERYONE was some how related to one another.
So to give my nacho cheese rating, 2.5 corn chips out of 5 =D

My Lenten Promise
I believe that lately I've become a less religious person. I've taken my religion for granted and I've pretty much made work as my excuse. This lenten season I have made a sacrifice, and I am going to committ to it. I am officially (to the end of the lenten season) giving up ALL junk food. That means, no more ice cream =(, no more pizza shapes =(, no more chicken king for lunch on Sundays =(, no more Red Rooster for lunch =(, no more maccas nuggets =(, no more jelly bellies =(, yes that's right, I am going to give up junk food for 40 days!
I originally was thinking of just giving up soft drinks and chocolate, but I thought, why stop there? My manager was talking to a co-worker today who has gone vegetarian for 7 weeks to prove her family wrong. She's doing well, she's got a whole month to go, and my manager said, why stop there? Keep going! If you can do it for seven weeks why not go further? Its only a couple more days.
So as of today, I am officially OFF junk food. Wish me luck =D

One of those days
I seem to be using my blog purely to bitch and vent about society and the type of people I'm (we really) are forced to live with.
The other week, I spent five days with my friends up in Nelson's Bay, drinking on the beach, sipping wine on the balcony, playing monopoly and jenga and sharing bubble baths. One night we decide a bonfire on the beach would be nice. So anyway, after MANY failed attempts to get a fire running, we finally get one running. Until, three teenage bogans walk pass. One claimed to know one of us, the other was rummaging through our alcohol stash and the other was "helping" to keep our fire alive, by continually spraying oil into the fire and deciding it will be okay to put a full can of oil in the fire. DICKHEAD! Like I said, the other bogan, casually rummaging through our alcohol, which I might add was one beer and two chick drinks, takes the box and walks off. The stupid bogan who decided, yeah I'm gonna watch what happens to their oil in the fire, thinks he's such a sick cunt by threatening us.
"My brother and his nine mates are up the road from here, so don't do anything stupid."
You know what your faggot, YOUR THE STUPID ONE! Don't think just because you talk like your king shit does not mean you are king shit! It's people like you that really give our generation a bad name. FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID BOGAN FRIENDS! WHO THE FUCK STEALS TWO CHICK DRINKS AND A BEER ? WHO?! And then who threatens people like that? IF YOU HAD THE BALLS YOU'D DO IT YOURSELF DICKHEAD! GROW A PAIR AND FUCKING GET A LIFE! YOUR ALL TALK AND FULL OF SHIT!!!
Enough about the bogans, today at work, I was put on cashier for like, the first time. And there was this one customer, she had a son and a daughter and another kid (don't know if they were related). But what irritated me was how long she took to order. Her young son took the courtesy to place an order, but this woman! I swear! I wanted to slap her face! She made one order, and took almost another ten minutes to make another order! Once she decided on something, she would stop and talk to the lady behind her about her weekend. Her kids could see the frustration on my face. She completely ignored me and continued to talk to this random woman behind her. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! THERE IS A BLOODY LONG LINE BEHIND YOU, I HAVE NO TIME TO HAVE YOU TALK TO SOME RANDOM WHILE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO SUFFER WAITING! One, its rude to ignore someone who is taking your order, and two, its rude to keep others waiting! FUCKING HAVE SOME COURTESY AND TALK SOMEWHERE ELSE! After I took her order, she kept talking to this woman. I asker her to move as her order would take some time, so she moves literally, one step back in the middle of this massive cluster of waiting customers. BITCH, MOVE!
GRRRRRRR! It's people like that woman that make me hate work and it's stupid kids like those in Nelson's Bay that make me wanna jump off a cliff and land face first on a massive rock and have some dog shit on me!

We Are The World - 25 for Haiti
I was reading through some of the comments written by "fans" on youtube that watched this video. Most of them seemed to complain about the addition of some certain musicians like T-Pain, Lil Wayne and most of all, Justin Beiber. Seriously people! STOP BEING SELFISH! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS IN THE VIDEO!

Nelson's Bay 10'
Five friends, five days, four nights, three hours drive, three pathetic teenage bogans, two successful sunny days, one bathroom and one heck of a good time.
Not to forget, how red I still am after endless hours of tanning on the beach, how red Andrea got, Michal's uneven back tan, near fatal accident on the way home from getting pizza, a failed attempt at making a bonfire on the beach, JENGA!, being "alco-jacked" by three bogans, being threatented by three bogans, half skinny dipping whilst tipsy, ice cream on the wharf, "SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS", two hours of stupid animal combinations with Michal, having to listen to Cesar and Michal constantly reference Simpsons with everything, mo-mo-monopoly, an accident on the beach that will not be mentioned EVER again, creepy poltergeist from house downstairs, "bitch bitch bitch, whinge whinge whinge" and one bubbly bath with two guys ;).
