Yup, another post. Lol

Hey guys,

So I'm posting again today! Lucky you! Never short of reading material. Lol.
The reason for my second post of the day is this: I have been thinking, again. I also did a little research on the internet, purely out of curiosity... I promise...

There's some very interesting information on the net, I have found. One being a Google search dedicated to the topic of "How to get your boyfriend to propose". I read into this a bit and it involves a lot of crazy steps to get this to happen! One article said to pretty much ignore your partner, not see him, talk to him only if you have to and then one of the last steps being to act like a slave! Okay it didn't say "be a slave" specifically. But that was pretty much implied. It detailed things like do everything for him, eat whatever he is eating no matter what diet you are on, always do what he wants to do, etc.
All of this was in the same article and it made me think, if I did this to my partner he would think I was some kind of schizo girlfriend! And from my point of view it would make him run away, not propose!
I really hope there aren't women out there following these steps!
I mean, from my experience, isn't it better to be yourself? And if he doesn't propose then, well, he's either not worth it or he's secretly waiting for you to ask him!

And yes, I know that I talked in a previous post about wanting my partner to propose to me. And I still do! But, since life is too short isn't it best to be happy with what you have instead of concentrating on things that may never happen? If it does happen that's great! If not, well then you still have the amazing, loving and caring partner that you fell in love with.
Lol, I can hear my friend Alex from here saying "See I told you! Crazy lady!" Haha :-P

As for my dream of the rain easing off today... DIDN'T HAPPEN! Got fully damp and icky picking up my partner from work.

In other ponderings... How does one know what one is meant to do with one's life? I am having this issue at the moment. I'm working as a painter and decorator just now but I don't see it as something I want to be doing till I retire. My mum thinks I should be a journalist, but you have to rather nosy and pushy for that, I don't think I can do that. I also thought about a career in the arts, but art schools in Wellington suck. I could be a housewife, but I can't see myself getting much done around the house with t.v and internet to distract me.
Any suggestions people? I'm at a loss and getting old :-(

I don't know who watched Breakfast this morning but it was the most hilarious episode yet! A viewer sent in a letter with a catalogue detailing something called the Toilet Wand, I think it was. Anyway, what you do with it is put the toilet paper on the end and wipe your ass with it! LOL. And then, you push a button when you're done and the poopy paper falls in the loo and you just flush! Easier wiping for those that are lazy. Or have issues with toilet paper maybe?
But, I do see how this could be very helpful for the handicapped and infirm. At least when we get old we won't have to get our children to wipe for us. Maybe I should get a couple of these wands and save them for when I'm 80... Hmmm...

Anyway! The Cleveland Show is on so catch you guys later! :D

PS: Google the Toilet Wand and let me know what you think!

It's raining, it's pouring...

Morning guys,

Well, no work again today because it's pissing down! Stink buzz. So I am resigned to sitting at home watching t.v and contemplating going for a ride on the scooter. Yes, in the rain. I will get very, very wet but it is so much fun! :-D I'm thinking I need to invest in wet weather gear...

So I was reading yesterday that in 2012 they will be changing the right hand rule to the left hand rule. In one way that's a good idea since we are the only country in the world that has it. But in another way it's kind of a bad idea. People are going to forget cos the right hand rule is so ingrained in kiwi drivers, and will probably result in more accidents. I know I will get confused!

I hate rainy days! They're so boring!

Who out there is going to the Big Day Out? I contemplated it but I can't justify paying a shit load just to see Rammstein... Even though they are awesome!

I'm going to have to venture out in the rain soon... But I think I will bide my time until the rain eases a bit... Do you think that will happen? Please say yes...

:D

I'm alive!

Hey guys,

Quick update to let you all know that I did not get annihilated on the roads this morning! W00t! Made it all the way to Tawa to find that work was off because of the weather. Damn. So had to scoot all the way back in the rain! Never mind, 'twas good fun!

So now I'm at home and watching lame tv. I was hoping for the Jeremy Kyle show but no, it's school holidays apparently and theres some crappy kids movie. LAME!

I am now officially bored and staring out the window at the rain.

But on the plus side... Fishpond FINALLY delivered a book that I ordered TWO MONTHS AGO! Bloody hell Fishpond... Slow much??

Alright I'm off now to pamper myself with a manicure :P

Laters! :D

Oh Lordy...

Hey lovely people,
Hope your week is shaping up rather nicely. Mine has been... Frightening. All because I am learning to ride this infernal scooter! Went for a ride on my own this morning, all went well to the in-laws. But, on leaving I had issues getting out of the driveway. 'Tis very steep and there's a huge bump at the top! Almost veered into the oncoming lane and got taken out by a car. Fucking hell. All I can say is, to the guy I nearly t-boned, THANK GOD YOUR REFLEXES ARE AWESOME! I feel so bad for everyone on the road around me! And to make matters more scary, I have to drive across town to get to work tomorrow morning!
If you happen to be driving to Tawa tomorrow and see a scooter with shit trailing behind it, that's me. Please be gentle with me!
I really hope I get better at this whole driving thing pretty quickly. Steering I'm fine with, it's just the whole roundabout thingy really...
Apart from said incident, it has been pretty fun so far! My partner is loving it too!

Ugh. So onto other things that aren't vehicle related... I hear that Tool and Rammstein will be headlining the Big Day Out next year. That will be epic! Not a Tool fan, but do love Rammstein!

I've been pondering. Musing, if you will. About what, you ask? Well, weird people. Crazy people. And just plain odd people.
What is it that happens in a persons life that makes them turn weird? Is it upbringing or environmental factors? Or possibly a mixture of both? In my life I have known more than my share of crazy/weird/odd people and it's just not fun. It's fine up until the point where you actually realize that they are strange. And not in a "Wow, that's interesting" way, more like a "Wow, you should be institutionalized" way.
You've got a few different types of weird, in my opinion.

The first would be: The ones that enjoy pain. Pain as in tattoos and piercings. This weird I can relate to 'cos I am this kind of weird. Bring on those weirdos!

The second: The people you meet once through other people and they want to be your best friend all while knowing fuck all about you. Not so keen on this weird.

The third: The ones that once you are friendly with them, copy every single fucking thing that you do. Sure, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but don't you have to draw a line somewhere? Hate this weird.
Imitation pisses the hell out of me! What happened to originality?!

The fourth: And these are the ones to stay the hell away from... Attention seeking crazy people that are incredibly needy. You know the kind I'm talking about! The ones that you can quite openly tell to fuck off but they still come back for more. This weird I don't understand, I would really like to do a psychology paper just to TRY to understand! It's like when you tell a puppy to fuck off (not that you would) and it just looks at you and doesn't move. Or jumps on your lap. It baffles me. It really does. I think I could understand the workings of the universe better than these oddballs.
Now obviously my list goes from interesting weird down to institutionalized weird.

I can hear what you're thinking... "Why the fuck is she ranting about crazy people?!" Well, in answer to that... I'm not quite sure.

I think I'm going to love you and leave you there, it's very late and I have to go back to work tomorrow :(
But, as always, if you have any comments or feedback on whatever I'm rambling about I'd love to hear them!

Catch you beautiful people later! :D

P.S: Fingers crossed for Alex!

Go the Piaggio!

Hey guys,

Well I had quite the exciting day today! I bought a scooter! As the title says... Go the Piaggio! WOOOOO :D
As I said before, I'll give you fair warning when I'm on the road. So here's your warning: I shall be driving around tomorrow! In Wellington, so watch out lol.
It's quite the magnificent little beast. Is so red and so pretty! :D
Only thing is I had a bit of an incident whilst out driving with my partner. Forgot to let go of the accelerator when I got off... Hmmm... If he wasn't there then my scooter would be in some poor persons front yard right now!
But anyway, I survived and have lived to tell the tale! It's quite the exhilarating experience scooting around on a scooter. They don't go awfully fast, but since I'm a driving n00b, 20kms is fast in my book!

So I have been thinking about this so-called tax cut we New Zealander's will be getting in the coming few days. I myself am not overly impressed by it. To be honest, I'm actually bloody pissed off about it! From the news, etc I have read on the matter, it would seem that someone in my earning bracket (fuck all) will, after GST goes up to 15%, get about $3 extra a week. Now how the fuck is that fair?? People in the highest earning bracket (so much you can wipe your ass with it), will end up with about $90 extra a week i think. Again, HOW THE FUCK IS THAT FAIR?? Shouldn't it be that those who earn fuck all should get the bigger tax cut? Now that measley extra $3 will probably end up being (for me anyway) negative $20 since I will have to spend more on fucking food to survive! I really, strongly dislike the National party right now. And I'll tell you this, when elections roll round again, I'M VOTING LABOUR! And failing that they have anything to offer me, I will vote for the Bill and Ben Party. Like I should have last year but being too hungover, couldn't read properly. But that's another story.
FUCK YOU NATIONAL AND YOUR SHIT TAX CUT AND BASTARDLY GST INCREASE!

Anyway, in something more positive... Flight of the Conchords are to be on a new episode of the Simpsons. Yay! And apparently they mention Wellington. Go you Conchords! Many of you possibly know this already, but since I have been otherwise occupied all day, I just learnt this now.

Quick question; Paul Henry. Love him or hate him?
I'm sitting on the fence with this one. A few weeks ago I was in the "love" column. But after hearing him disrespect females with tattoos I'm more in the "hate" column now. I took offence to this personally, as I myself am a female with many a tattoo. I'd like to see Paul Henry sit through a tattoo. I don't think he could handle it! If you're reading this Paul (unlikely, but hey), yes that IS a challenge.

So this blog has just turned into a bitch session today! Haha. Ah well, gotta vent!
I'll leave it at that though. But if anyone has some nice news about the "tax cuts" feel free to comment on here and share it with me.

:D


PS: Was I the only one that felt fucked over by daylight savings this weekend? I fully forgot about it and when I woke up on Sunday morning my phone said 10am but in reality it was 11am. Thanks Vodafone for automatically changing the time, you suck balls. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who's phone didn't change time. Turns out there were problems with the IPhone too.

Oh Hai!

So having been without internet for the last night or so, it has made me wonder, what on earth did we do before technology. As in the technology we have today, in 2010. I know I struggle to remember how I contacted friends, got research done and just wasted time! And I know many people have covered this topic before me, but I thought it would be interesting to delve into it. And possibly try to remember how I DID manage...
For me it all started when I was about 15. That was when I got my first mobile phone. And oh my! What an amazing thing it was! All brick-like, and only txting in capitals. It was an Alcatel I think. And was as big as my wallet.

Then of course from there technology grew, and so did my hunger for the latest in fancy mobile phones. Like today, I now have a phone that can video call, pxt, txt, call and pretty much do everything else I need it to. Except make me a decent cup of coffee... I hope they come up with that soon before my fingers get too arthritic and I have no need for a phone... man, I'd love to have a phone that could fit in my pocket AND make me coffee when I want it!
As for the internet, it is only recently that I have become quite attached to it. I discovered online shopping (yes, I'm a late e-bloomer), internet banking, blogging and more! Now I am on it every night exploring the wonders. But now that I am without it just now I feel like im missing a limb... and am so desperate that I am currently writing the draft for this blog in notepad... so old school!
My good friend Alex will agree that I am a n00b when it comes to teh interwebs. I often have to ask him for help with the simplest of tasks. One of them being "Alex, how do i make teh interwebs put my pictures on teh blog?" To which he replied something along the lines of  "Well there's a picture. Click it. There you go." Ah Alex, what would I do without you to guide me through this crazy internet? :)
Now you may think I'm making this up for lols, but nope. I really am this stupid. I win at life! :D

It is currently 10.42pm and I had the grand idea of staying up late to write and play Plants vs Zombies. I even had an energy drink before, and I never have them! But alas, the Technology God hates me and wants me to be more productive. Up yours techno-god, this is productive! Mwahahahahahaha

Here's a worrying insight to the lack of insulation in my house... I'm listening to Alestorm at a more than reasonable volume and I can still hear the upstairs neighbours walking around and talking. Hmmm...
I was awoken at 1.30am this morning by an almighty BANG from them upstairs. I think they jumped off the couch (our bedroom is directly beneath their lounge), fuck knows why you'd jump off a couch at 1.30am. But anyway. I digress. Suffice to say, I almost had a bloody heart attack. And it could well have been bloody had my heart exploded. Gross. Lol. What a mess to clean up! :P

Right, so update on internet. Managed to get in there and get a blog posted! Yussss. Me 1, internet 0.

So today I got the next part of my tattoo done. If you can call it a part. I sat for all of about half an hour 'cos I really wasn't in the mood for pain. Epic fail. My lovely tattooist just laughed at me! But I have decided that I want to get some pansies on my arm. Mainly as a tribute to my Gran, and because they look real funny :D
We were looking at them on the net, and I swear they have faces! Some epically funny ones were: Porn Pansy, he had aviators and a pimpin mo'. Sucked on a lemon Pansy, for obvious reasons. Angry pansy. KGB pansy etc. I'm thinking Porn Pansy is pretty awesome!

In other news, my partner tried to teach me to drive today! In a manual... Recipe for disaster... BUT, I must say I didn't do too badly. Nobody was maimed or killed and the car, plus gearbox is still intact! :D Although after about 10 minutes of the "lesson" he said "Ok pull over, I'm driving. We're going home!" Did I do bad? :-/ lol.

Tigger on the Couch is calling me...
Back soon!

:D

Dear Internet, I hate you. That is all.

Hey guys,

My internet sucks big, hairy balls! So if this doesn't fucking post I'm blaming TELSTRA CLEAR!!
It's quite funny cos' I'm listening to Fuel by Metallica right now, and all I want to do is BURN TEH INTERWEBS!
Gahhhhh..... But anyways, to fill you in on my rage just now, I shall (lol Yoda).
So I jumped on the laptop this morning to check the usuals, Facebook, Gmail, Fishpond... and every fucking time I tried
 to log into one of the above I got some stupid ass message telling me "The page you are looking for is unavailable or
has permanently moved to another address" BULLSHIT! I know for a fact none of them have moved!
It's just my shit ass so-called internet provider!!

ANGER AND RAGE! Turns into...

                                        The internet shall burn in the firey pits of hell!




BTW, if you can't read the caption it says... "Who wins now motherfucker!" Hehe

To add to this, my partner just rang our internet provider and they were NOT helpful at all! Fuck you guys, we pay a shit load to get this fucking service and all you can say is "Oh well I'm sorry to hear that, Sir." ?!?!
Arghhh. So there. I feel a little better.

I can currently have one tab open at a time. I suppose that's better than nothing...


On to happier thoughts... I am scheduled to get the next installment of my tattoo done tomorrow :D And I bought a very funny book today. Tigger on the couch. If you haven't heard of it, it delves into the minds of your beloved childhood characters and their mental issues. A great way of making mental disorders less of a taboo I reckon. Too many people ignore it and sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. I have learnt from experience that no matter how much you wish for it to go away, it won't. 


And into todays other news... I got paint in my eye! NOT FUN. Rolling a ceiling without safety glasses on is not a good idea. And to make it worse, it was enamel paint. You gotta get that shit off with turps! But you can't put turps in your eye... So now i have a whitish yellow splodge on my upper and lower eyelids. fantastic! And so begins the countdown to see how long that shit takes to wash off! 
Begin a poll if you like. Put me down for two weeks. 


Anyway, I feel like I'm pushing my luck with the internet just now so I'll be off and hopefully be back tomorrow to regale you with more trials and tribulations of my life! It's like Days of our Lives! But I don't take six months to write one story line...


:D
