Yay, Carlsberg!

There is but one way to ensure that I get up at the time that my alarm goes off, instead of just turning it off and going back to sleep. I must place the alarm far away from the bed, so that I'll have to get up in order to switch it off. Now, it's true, I can ignore the incessant ringtone for quite some time. But there is so long I can stand David Bowie's whiny voice at 9am.

That's right, people who work, I consider 9am to be an early time to wake up. Take that, you and your money!

And now to pseudo sleep!

P.S. Does my icon make me look like the hunchback of Notre Dame/Casper the friendly ghost?

A conversation with my brain. Who are you calling loco?

Brain: Dear Sarah, you have written half of the blasted essay in 2 days, with 4 days left to spare. You should seriously consider terminating the panic, because if you continue this awesome writing trend of yours you will finish the essay with 2 days left to spare! Also, remember your first year at uni, when you waited until the day before to start and finish an essay and you still passed.

Me: I don't want to just pass, I want a good mark, and if I don't get a good grade my options will close.

Brain: But you will still get a diploma.

Me: But I may not be able to transfer to Sydney, and probably not go on student exchange to a hot, Latin country.

Brain: It's not like you'll have the money to go to a hot, Latin country anytime soon.

Me: You're not being very supportive.

Brain: I'm being realistic.

Me: Exactly.

I am avoiding Sociology. But I'll get into it, right after I whore the cat.

( That just doesn't sound right. )

I got a little, fluffy kitten. You didn't think it was possible for me to get anything fluffy, did you? Heh It's a very cute little thing, a female, and it fits into the palm of my hand. Also, it's got the longest whiskers and adorable white eyeliner. You should see it run! It's this little awkward fluffball. It was a little freaked out in the photos I took, but it got a bit more acquainted now and is sitting on my lap and purring.

( Damn you, Pets Paradise, and your irresistable cats! )

LMFAO

I bought a coffee strainer thing...for $12 *grumbles* which, in my current state, is apparently a lot of moneyz. And I know I said I'd stop with the "z's", but I lied. Liedz, even. Where was I? Oh, yes. So since the coffee strainer thing, I've been enjoying 3 delicious coffees a day. Imagine if I had an espresso machine! Oh, I would be in heaven.

My uniz is doing a weird thing with its websitez, it says I'm enrolled and then it says that I'm not enrolled. Coffee+panic (without the disco) is really an exceptional state. I'm going to chill and assume that everything will work itself out when staff return to work on the 7th. In the meantime, I withdrew from one of my previous subjects (no choice, it got cancelled for 2008) and took Philosophy instead. I'm catching up on my Socrates just as an intro to what I'll be studying, and it is all super exciting.

I friggin' love Australia's electoral policy that everyone has to vote. Otherwise we'd be one of those 'democracies' where only half the people can be bothered to vote. To say that compulsory voting isn't democratic is ludicruous. Voluntary voting is undemocratic, I think, because it's not really the voice of all people, is it? Besides, it's not like you're forced to vote in Australia, you can skip it if you've got $200 you don't need lying around. *grins* Seriously, best law ever.

I wrote a long entry, which got cancelled, and this is all I've recovered. Hoorah! Less reading for you!

The main points were that I am still lethargic, but have 2 interviews coming up (xmas money, here I come!), and my cat is more awesome than my other cat. Ahahaha

Also, Sex and the City is addictive, but a rant is coming up about how Carrie is a noob and why Aidan is perfect for me. I've made friends with Blockbuster, by the way.

EDIT: Totally got a pizza for free at Coles today! They scanned it and the wrong price came up, so I spoke up and they gave it to me for free. That has never happened before when I spoke up. It's the blonde hair! Take this is, people, free pizza excites me.

All right, fess up, who bought me the virtual handcuffs? I laughed for like 30 seconds.

And thank you ♥ for the gift certificate.

I noticed yesterday that feeder fish were missing (by the way, two). Today I recounted it with my friend.

Jem:
"It couldn't be in the filter because it cant fit through the - OH MY GOD, ITS IN THE FILTER!!" *insert blood curtling screams/hyperventilating here*

LMAO

Me:
Stop making me relive that! *covers head and screams*

I kinda had the same reaction to Kevin going wild in the dark.

Jem:
Yes. Only that time you fled the room. With kevin hanging off my severed finger...

I don't believe I've shared my fish with you. ;)

Let's pretend I am not two weeks late with this...

Unfortunately I have neither the skill nor the patience to write a wonderful recount of a place, like teratomas's Vegas post.

I do, however, have a zillion random pictures of Comune di Roma behind the cut, and three non-Rome pictures for good measure. So those will have to do. ;)

During the first 30 minutes in Rome, we managed to piss off a group of taxi drivers and gotten the police involved. We wanted a larger cab, a few up in the queue and the drivers from the ones closer to the front got all emotional. Along came a cop and showed his ID and asked what the problem was. It was little surprising, especially since we didn't realise there was a problem.

We took 2 tours, saw many attractions, I won't go into too much details. Except Italians are hot. And there are orange trees lining Via Nazionale. And a very large proportion of people ride scooters, including people in suits and girls in miniskirts! Oh, and it was very hot, they were possibly having a heat wave. I got nicely bronzed.

( Careful, lots of random pictures from Rome. I mean it, these are a rather large bunch. )

Now I have to say this:

I was on the plane from Rome to Hong Kong and feeling like I can finally relax (this was before your face turns grimy and you wish you could somehow, magically de-gas yourself. So I was thinking that just sitting on that plane, being suspended in the sky for an estimated number of hours, is the only time in my life when I can cease worrying for a sec and sit there enjoying the calmness. Because, you know, the problems are down below at your destination and between that is a priceless gap* of many hours of peace and a couple of naps. Things below cannot touch you. It makes me sound like a neurotic, worrying wonder but I kind of am...

But, wait! I'm proven wrong yet again!

We were above the Himalayas when the plane started its turbulence marathon. It went for half an hour or around, and it was pretty scary.

We also had an episode with a swollen, hurting ankle on the second plane. A doctor had to be called from the passengers and half the people knew about it when we landed. Ehem.

*That 'priceless gap' unfortunately has a price. But imagine.

My sister was taking these and she wouldn't let me smile.
Her: 'Think like Jack!'
Me: *penis penis penis*

Who dresses in white to a Placebo concert? Me.

My 11 'single-serving friends' and I (Fight Club raaaawks!) took the 7am train out of Wroclaw on Friday and 7 hours later we were in Warsaw. I only had 1 hour of sleep the previous night but for some reason was still standing (caffeine? no, no food either lol). Warsaw was sunny so it was also pretty in a capital city sort of way that made everyone ecstatic.
( Cuuuuuu(n)t! )
