ok. i didn't do

ok. i didn't do an indepth blog that evening.

but i did pack for melbourne, dye my hair, work , hang out with amanda and buy new shoes. AND THEN that evening, my shoes broke! but i got a refund so that was ok.

:::...

as i'm kinda busy and studying and readying for buffy, here's a list of what went on in melbourne:

• i got to hear laura mcfarlane (99) playing when i walked past the punters.
  
• i met chris h, dave b and remet seb
  
• i saw sir and felt tired and sleepy.
  
• hung out with richard and lue for a bit and fell asleep
  
• woke up
  
• met aidan and chris, had coffee.
  
• wandered around melbourne town
  
• went down to st kilda had lunch and more coffee. (how melbournite of us)
  
• we had dinner at the vege bar
  
• met up with james and karah
  
• went to see sandro play (nice old songs), little general (cool as ever), art of fighting (lovely), warped (sex with guitars!)
  
• slept at seb and dave and chris's (what lovely boys! thankyou so much)
  
• went out for lunch with karah and james and did a girly shopping thing with karah
  
• went to see greg fleet's show (very good) went to a sportsman's night (very bad) as part of the comedy festival
  
• had fun at the melbourne museum (running up down escalators! yippee)
  
• bought some funky threads
  
• stood and ran in the rain. (against my will)
  
• got cranky
  
• recovered
  
• got to know aidan even more and i like him even more
  

the only thing which i wanted to do in melbourne and didn't do was to eat chilli chocolate icecream from charmaine's. but that's fine with me.

and now i have to do some maths and watch buffy

yay! i have new

yay! I have new jeans!

a pair of dark denim levi xflares.

they are kinda tight at the moment.
not that i'm either of those people [or that skinny]. but the jeans are like the ones the girl with dark hair is wearing.

note: there was a photo, but i lost the file... oh well.

:::...

also. i've finished my oosd assignment! yay! and chris (headroom) wasn't freaked out about me leaving.

:::...

chris (house) and i had a fight yesterday. i've been a bitch lately. we decided that i'm very very stressed. but yay! i'll only have one job soon! i'll be less stressed. and after the life choices expo there won't be any housing trust stuff! and i won't be playing netball so often. yippee! and i'll be doing 2.5 days work a week at the lab for uber money! joy!

anyway. sorry chris if i've been a bitch. and thankyou for the letter. it calmed me down, made me feel good and made me happy that you're my friend. i would say "don't change'' but you should give up smoking. (i'll say "don't change" when you've done that.)

easter shopping.

• some haighs chocolate.
  
• some new socks?
  
• a magazine or two?
  
• practically:
  
  
  
  • vegetables
    
  • fruit
    
  • petrol
    
  
  
• impractically:
  
  • a budgerigar
    
  • a new stereo
    
  • beefy computer upgrade
    
  
  
• plane ticket to melbourne!
  

yep, i forgot about the melbourne thing.. i get to see little general and art of fighting when i'm over there. but i'd better take into account that it's the aof launch and there'll be a lot of people there.

so, now i can look forward to:

• luella
  
• matt
  
• the vegie bar
  
• brunswick st clothing stores
  
• missing link and augogo
  
• dancing and debauchery
  
• little general
  
• charmaine's chilli chocolate icecream

a good weekend of

a good weekend of drinking and friends and friend's birthdays and getting some sleep.

:::...

sleep good.
i'm probably not going to have that much [sleep] until i've finished my systems development assignment. then i have to start my 2nd database modelling assignment.

warning: i geek
halfway through the semester and i've done absolutely no programming yet. some sql. i was out of practice at the start of the year, now i've got an extra 2 months of no practice.

the jdbc assignment is going to be fun. on many levels. i really do mean it. i want to program in java again!! AND i get to do C++ this semester!

i can't believe i'm that excited...

devoted bee has some very cute pictures. check them out.

jolan did an ace job. even if you don't understand bmx' go to stowaway and you'll see some cool design and good photos.

---

i have to admit it... i finally went into the mr bankrupt store on port road. i was looking for a comfy computer sitting suitable chair. everything was either really expensive (for something 2nd hand) or else really dirty.

so i didn't buy anything.

tomorrow though, i need to buy some new jeans. oosd work, jeans and headroom work.
i'm not sure what is more stressful, buying "a pant" which doesn't offend "my arse" or going into headroom the first time after beajaye broke it to chris that i might not be able to work there any more.

combined they should make one exciting possibly stressful day.

.
.

i'm thinking about getting a pair of the redstitched levis flares that headroom girl margo was wearing the other day.

:::...

the other day i was painfully aware that i don't speak to stuart any more. even at christmas it was really strained, but we were still speaking to each other regularly. we pretty much stopped speaking to each other when there was the whole stuart/mykl angry young men thing, which was just at the same time that i started to see aidan.
which isn't that surprising a coincidence.

i do feel like i am less one very good friend. but at the same time, stuart and i were angry with each other for a long time. so maybe it's better like this.

but in the last 3 and a half months my life has changed so much. i miss stuart but i have a lot more to fill where that missing is.

i have:

• aidan - who's great so he's up the top of the list
  
• a new house!
  
• two jobs - maybe only one good one soon
  
• no time for current friends anyway!
  
• heaps of uni work which is as enjoyable as uni work can be
  
• cold toes - so soon i'll have chillblains [and it's only april]
  
• a holiday at the moment
  
• goals
  
• other stuff which i can't think of.
  

that was one of my most poorly written lists ever!

:::...

sleep now...

yay! i finally got

yay! i finally got to spend some time with aidan! i'm much less stressed...

and i've got my oracle/sql password reset so i've been able to start the first assignment for oodm and it's mostly working.

and after only two lines of blogging, i'm going to go off to a tute...

i seem to do

i seem to do is complain

i was meant to go see the ACO with aidan tonight. but when i rang up today tickets were all sold out so i have to miss out and aidan gets to go which is annoying and then when i go to meet him later it means it's going to screw with my buffy watching (which was already screwed last night because of "talking footy") which isn't that bad it just means that i'm going to be all behind the times when i speak to beajaye at work tomorrow.

[i should really learn how to use punctuation].

still more complaining

we're still doing housing trust stuff. which shits me. we're letting ourselves be fucked around by people who didn't even give us a design brief. who then want video and audio (no way are they getting that!) and ugly ugly transition fades (this isn't powerpoint people!). and it seems to all take too long and at least i've done some of my uni work.

but!

some good stuff has happened! potential work contacts ringing up! i have some vegetables to eat tonight! [no more scurvy!] AND i've pretty much finished the SQL assignment, but i forgot my password for the server so i have to chase people at uni about resetting stuff....

and this site... www.zefrank.com

well, i redesigned the

well, i redesigned the housing trust thing. it looks MUCH better now, with cute little chris and pippa avatars who take you on a "tour".

isn't that exciting.

it also meant that chris and i (particularly chris) have been spending much more time reworking everything to fit in with the redesign. and it's also meant that i've been neglecting my studies. i haven't done my oodm prac, or my tute or the assignment (though i have a week's grace for the assignment and it's only sql definitions which is pretty easy and fun).

i have a lecture now. i will go in a minute. chris bludged today. but he spent hours on the housing trust thing last night.

:::...

i bought fabric for my skirts! hopefully i'll get to start making the blue velvet one tonight.

we dj'd rock city on the weekend. i had a lot of fun. made some booboos but there weren't that many people there and the cd players had no count down and no program and the mixer's cross fader wasn't working. which sucked.

:::...

i also haven't done my reading for any of my subjects and i missed out both math lectures last week.

i shouldn't miss out this lecture.

i have a headache.....
