I need to do a decent sized post but have been exceptionally busy, as well as making a concerted effort to stay off the computer as much as possible. Mainly because I bought a tonne of DVDs recently and they don't watch themselves!

Let's see, last Thursday night I went to a random modeling competition, where very cheap drinks were serves ($3 basic spirits anyone?). We'd only planned to stay out a little bit but of course we had a huge night out. And for the first time in my life, I threw up into the toilet when we got home and promptly passed out, head on the toilet seat. I'm all class! And a little bit proud, as I've never done anything so trashy before in my life!

Friday morning I slept in TWO HOURS LATE! I managed to get to work and did all I needed to, but by 4pm I had a vicious migraine and had to go home. Slept a few hours then went to mum's as I was spending the weekend with her.

Saturday we went to IKEA where I got myself a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, as well as various random bits and pieces. The most exciting purchase was a toy bat called Kryp! Afterwards mum and I both had haircuts, both getting much shorter styles than we've ever had before (photos eventually) before having a delicious meal and seeing Stardust which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Sunday I spent the whole day with mum (dad was also there briefly, which was a bit odd), we watched crap Sunday TV, put together the drawers and did very little all day. It was nice. But I started feeling a bit ill, and by the time I got home Sunday night I was feeling awful.

Monday I must have had some sort of virus, I had a sore throat, was coughing and my body was aching like hell, and it felt like all of my nerves were exposed. I tried to go to work but couldn't, so I slept literally all day long. By Tuesday I was feeling so much better, though I'm still a bit achey and have an annoying cough now. Nothing like having a party-free weekend and winding up sick as a dog >:(

PARKLIFE is on this Saturday and should be a lot of fun, even if it's going to be fluro-kid heaven *shudders* Anthony and I attempted to go clothes shopping tonight, but were overwhelmed with fluro (yes crystaljaded, Supre is Fluro Central nowadays) and went home empty handed. Well I lie, I bought some stuff, but not nearly as much as I normally would have. DAMN FLURO KIDS!

Have a random, hideous photo of me at Calypso the other week, taken by Tez:

Hahaha, hello diet starting this week D:

Wow, I haven't posted for a while. I started an entry about three times during the week but would either forget or get lazy. It was a fairly intersting week anyway, despite not working and mostly being a bum.

• Wednesday night I went with Anthony, Iyan and Dave to Toowoomba. I've never been there before so I couldn't say no. There was a Beach party going on at the Uni Club which the boys wanted to check out as they are hoping to do events in Toowoomba eventually. It was a good night, for some reason they kept shouting me drinks so I was pretty drunk without spending much at all. I had to laugh at some of the guys there, their dancicng was horrific. It was like they'd been to a rave once and decided to exaggerate the dance moved by 1000 times. Hilarious! The highligh of the night would have been how Iyan got a court summons when he was caught peeing out in the bushes. In his defense there were not enough toilets and the lines were horrific, but we all laughed heartily at his expense anyway.
  
  
• Thursday was spent sleeping in late as we didn't get back to Brisbane til 6am. At 2:30pm I found out there were open auditions going on for a new VJ (video jockey) for MTV Australia nuntil 4pm. I was scared as hell but actually tried out. I was obviously unsuccessful (unless I get a call on Monday, but they said we'd find out Friday) but it was interesting and all things considered, like my nervouseness, I think I did pretty well. Oh well, next time I'll be better prepared, at least.
  
  
• Friday I stayed home most of the day, heading out that evening for Breaks & Enter. It was a HUGE night as there was a big UK superstar of breaks playing. There were so many people, I was so impressed, especially since the cover charge had gone up to $10 and no one ever likes paying entry to clubs on a friday night! Weirdly enough I would have had about 10 gin and tonics but simply did not get drunk, which was unsettling. But I danced all night long regardless, as the atmosphere was fantastic!
  
  
• Saturday I had to come home to look after Belle as mum was away for the weekend. Anthony somehow managed to convince me to return about 5 hours earlier than I'd planned so I could go grocery shopping with him *grumbles* I had plans to see Bad Moon Company and Throttle Zombies play at the new aalternative club in the City (St Magdeline's) but they'd cancelled, so I went with Daz and Warwick to Monster Joes. Afterwards we stumbled to GPO where Daz couldn't get in with his sneakers, after a bit of an ordeal we eventually solved that dilemma and got in. It was packed out but few fluro kids were there which was nice, and they played some interesting, dark music all night. I was actually wearing a dress for once, and everyone totally wigged out! I rarely wear dresses as I don't have any girly shoes that don't kill me, but I got a pair during the week which are comfy, so I managed to shock everyone by actually ddressing girly!
  
  
• Sunday, today, I came home earrly, and cleasned the house thoroughly before mum got home. Belle was sooking all day, I felt awful for leaving her home along so much this weekend, but she seemed to have managed ok. I'm now feeling queasy from the apple crumble we just ate for desert and I reckon it's time for bed!
  

OH CRAP I ALMOST FORGOT! I got a job on Friday afternoon, starting Monday! I didn't even need an interview, aas they're desperate and they would have obviously spoken to my team leader who I imagine would have told them I was great at my job, except for sales. This one is pretty much all back-of-house, limited customer service and NO SALES! I also think it even pays better, plus it's smack bang in the middle of the city (which is both awesome and kind of bad, spending-on-crap-wise)! YAY!
