There was a throwing something at Damo because I still have two exams left and I'm so far over studying that it's just not worth the effort and I'm about ready to just go postal on something....
Hmm, yes, well my "principles of molecular biotechnology" exam wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. But it was still a two hour exam, and I hate exams on principle. Now it's just maths and chemistry left to go. And I have to actually pass these exams to pass overall, dammit. Oh well.
Hey have fun in the whereveritisyou'regoing Zoe.
Where is everybody?
I want to cause chaos. There are even laws of physics and rules in chemistry that says that spontaneous processes are chaotic. But, before then I must study. Bring on Thursday night!!

Argh, Damien's a silly boy today, wiping out the drivel he had before, shall just have to come up with some more...
There was an extremely late happy birthday for Wendy, seething with wonder and jealousy at her glorious day.
There was a get well to Ben, and a chuckle at Anthony doing exams.
There was an 'I finished my last exam Tuesday evening, and have been floating along blissfully since then'
Once again I've run out of inspiration, so I might go and find some Borg and get myself assimilated.
Ta ta, have fun, and cause chaos wherever you tread

Greeetings, earthlings. All facilities on your planet are now under the control of..... umm..... armadillos. Or something.
Well, after that, let's see..... had my first exam this morning, which was about where and when I thought it would be. Not too hard, but I wasn't worried about it anyway. It's this next stupid one that could be, ah, the word "bad" just doesn't quite cover it. One week until the semster is over.
Good luck anyone else who is doing anything.
Get better Ben. Sickness is bad for your health.

Happy Not-Quite-On-Time Birthday Wendy. Sounds like you had fun!
Zoe, I hope your lump is nothing serious. Did you get all your dresses done?
Hmpf. Damn exams. Entirely too much work involved. I mean, really, I'll never use half this stuff again. I'd start stressing, but I know how little I'd achive then. Bring on next Thursday, so I can go on a three day drinking session. Though at least I get a month of bludging after that.
Back to learning about Flourescence In-Situ Hybridisation (FISH!), a technique for identifying microorganisms in a mixed culture. Fun.

Thankyou! I hope the dresses turned out great, it's pretty impressive that you can make them, I can do stuff a little like that but they never quite work.. I have trouble with cutting/sewing straight lines, for a start ^^;
As for me birthday thingo...
My birthday was amazing. This (my 19th birthday) was the best birthday I've ever, ever had.
First I celebrated it with my mum, dad and sister - mum baked a cake that morning for me with this really yummy icing she only makes on special occasions, I haven't tasted it for years ^^
Then I visited my grandparents in the afternoon, and two cousins I haven't seen in years since they live in different states/far out in the coutry respectively. I ate cake, caught up with everybody, it was relaxing.
My parents then drove me to Mike's house, as seeing I wasn't going to have a birthday mike said he'd take me out to town to eat icecream at Baskin's and Robbins ^^
When I walked in the door, I was greeted by exactly 15 of my closest friends wearing 1920s outfits shouting "Surprise!"
...
...
...
I was surprised ^^;
Mike had listened to me when I'd been talking about what kinda party I'd have a few month ago, and he'd made it come true ^_^ I'd said I wouldn't have mninded having a party hosted by a murder mystery theatre group, who would run, odly enough, a murder mystery during your party. I ended up telling everyone I wouldn't have a party because
i) they were too expensive
ii) what with my birthday being right during all our exam weeks, it would be too difficult to organise for me
My friend Amy (the one I threw a surprise party for a few months ago, actually ^^) wrote and ran a 1920s murder mystery herself for me.
There's more details about what happened at the party and stuff on my weblog (I started it about a year before this whole group weblog thing hpapened ^_^;)(http://etchedglass.blogspot.com) and I'll be putting photos up in a few days if all goes well (read: if my computer can handle my new USB card ^^;)
The whole night was amazing, I was overwhelmed. I'm lost for words to describe how happy I felt that night.
Sending my ultra super positive birthday vibes right at ya Zoester, they will combat an evil trying to make your lymph nodes les-than-wonderful *insert psychic power-induced glow around body here*

If I were a probability districution, I'd be normal! (Heh, that'd be a first ^_~)
I know how you feel. Stats.. equations.. soaring through head... must.. use.. Chi-squared distribution.. must... get... confidence interval chewy centres....
It's been very hard to study today, as it'd my 19th birthday tomorrow and for some reason it's kinda exciting. I've got that whole "I can't wait to wake up" anticapatory feeling, like I used to get as a little kid. I'm not having a party or anything, but fo some reason I'm all boucy aobut it, even though I don't really want to be 18. 19 sounds kinda responsible for a such a free-wheeling directionless frisbee of nomclemature as I.
Must... seek... binomial wisdom... must.. not... think.. about.. birthday...

Yes Zoe, that was me that was getting incredibly cheap alcomohol. And then everyone else insisted on handing me drinks. I didn't want to be rude, so of course I had to drink them. Damn blogs. Far too good a procrastination tool.
Never cheated, never plan to. For one, my list of exes is short enough that it would be a neat trick if I had managed to cheat. But mainly, it's just not something I approve of, so I wouldn't do it. Because I wouldn't want anyone to do it to me. And the fact that I just get entirely too silly once I start drinking. My sheer apathy regarding anything relationshippy could also have something to do with it.
There's something not quite right about lamingtons for breakfast...
Is there an orange equivalent of a hooloovoo?
Why am I such a good procrastinator?
And what the hell is that elephant doing in a police car?
Yes, I am bored, and procrastinating. Did you have a point?

Is it possible that you can be allergic to somebody else? Or maybe their house? Maybe it's something in the air in that suburb.. I seem to be getting pimples whenever I go to a certain house in a certain suburb (names and location withheld to uphold property values ;P) It's most odd. I don't eat anything different there, or anything else.. just seems to be like the air and the furniture and such bring out oil ^^;
I've never cheated on somebody, no... I don't really think I'm capable of it, guys seem to get more and more unnattractive as I drink, not the other way around ^^; I think my metabolism's botched, alcohol seems to sober me up ^^;;;;;;;; (most of the time, sometimes I can get a bit giggly for a short while). Sober, I wouldn't either, it's a big taboo for me... (sorry, I know this isn't helping...)
I am being a bum for the next two weeks while my exams are on.. no healthy exersise or sunshine (or moonlight) just slog, vegetating, and slog... well, that's the plan. Hopefully it'll work. Vegetating can be draining, believe it or not.... *collapses*

Woops, Dumb Damo did post twice, it's just because his computer was broken, he actually thought it hadn't worked at all! :P
Damo fixed it now though, so now it's Zoe that looks silly, hehe, sorry Zoe.
Are you sure you weren't looking at Adam through alchoholic glasses?
I didn't get $1 beers, hell, I can't even drink beer, it's just yucky yuck. Anthony got $1 beers, the typical college student that he is.
Typing when drunk is a wonderful feeling, it's like your hands aren't connected, and it's so cool when words magically appear on the screen, I really need to try it again before I head back to Mackay.
I've never even had a girlfriend, which makes it rather extremely hard to cheat on them. Do you feel guilty about it now Zoe? Or properly justified...
I've been slacking off in my studies, I 'might' have passed the exam I had on Saturday, everything else is fairly easy. But I haven't really started work on any of it yet. So who knows
I have been sleeping too much, getting up at midday is just evil and wrong!
byes!!!

ok, I'm getting slack again with writing here *slaps wrist*
Exam at 8:30 tomorrow morning, it's really really bad, I don't want to fail this subject again from being too slack to do anything towards learning it.
Anyway, this week has been pretty boring, I haven't let myself do anything fun, because I'm supposed to be studying, but then again, I haven't done any study anyway. Perhaps next time I should just be reckless and hit the town, might just work better. Who knows?
Just got an email from Sally, cool friend from school whom I haven't spoken to in around about forever, so that was rather goodly. I even sent back a lengthy reply, it's marvelous how communicative I can be when I'm supposed to be doing something else.
Keeping Anthony out of the gene pool sounds like a very responsible action, but responsibility isn't something that's too much fun, so I say let him loose!
Oh, and shame on you Ben, taking the day off work is WRONG, as is going to uni.
*KA-BLAM*

I'm a horrible person.
I took the day off
I'm at UNIVERSITY of all places...

Well, Benny-oh, I don't know about the rest, but I'm going pretty goodily-oh-so. But no, I'll be back down here by the end of July. So I guess my proverbial bottom is getting kicked. What am I going to say Zoe? Dunno, it was more slightly insane laughter than saying anything. I had already decided that my major contribution to humanity should be to not breed, so the sterilization thing just makes it easier.
And my major group report is now entirely NMP and SEP. Which means I have no uni work left to do, bar exams. And the $1 local beers, $2 crownies and $0.50 shots tonight...
*gets dragged out the the gene pool by the lifeguard*
*gets banned from the gene pool. permanently*

AH! flashy.
Hows everyone goin eh? I expect you all to reply.
bad news on that hard drive eh damo? that bites mondo heaps.. ANTHONY god dammit when do your holidays finish?
this sucks, im going to be in mackay for a weekend and friends i DO like wont even be there.. youd better be there anthony or ill kick your proverbial bottom. I'm going to be there 16/17/18 august. GR
Elise you should be studying, infact I think it'd be almost entirely safe to bet my entire bank balance (about $20) that you should be studying right now, the moment you're reading this.. and that this blog is merely a procrastination tactic. You'll hear from me when i get home.. o_O
my throat hurts, elise :/
anthony get out of the gene pool, it's bad enough having one of you, i hope your parents had the forethought to sterilise you at birth.

Hmmm.... Well, Damo told me I needed to write here more. Damo, of all people. But anyway. Oh, and Queensland won state of origin 2, but you either already knew that, or don't care. Or both.
Umm, yes. Found that silly assignment. Got another one due tomorrow, but it's almost reached NMP status. Did I mention I love group assignments? If I didn't, I do, at least compared to normal assignments. Almost exams, and then it's home time. Yay. Four weeks in Mackay, with no one else around for most of it. Ah well, I do need to catch up on sleep.
I think if I wore white pants, it would disturb a lot of people. Guys in white pants is just wrong. Very wrong. And that's about all I have to say on the topic!
I don't know about the other guys, but I've got no freaking idea what a Fantasy Formula is in the first place, so of course I can't comment. Though knowing nothing doesn't necessarily stop me.
I feel the need to do something entirely silly...

Woo! I still haven't started studying, but I did clear off my desk this evening, so there's actually room to do something if some motivation comes and smacks into my forehead.
What the hell is a burdurp Zoe? I'm at a complete loss.
I got bored tonight, and went for a walk about 11pm, taking with me the hard drive from my backup computer that died, and was beaten with a brick last week. Have a look here to get an idea what I'm on about. Well, I told a few people that I was going to get a train to finish the destruction job, so I wandered across to the train line nearby, jumped the fence, and put this poor defenceless little hard drive on one of the rails. Wandering away to look around, awaiting the next train to go past, it started raining! Marvelous, wonderful, rain is really fun you know. Well, go past a train did, so I went back, and low and behold, there was no more hard drive. I walked along the line for a while trying to find any trace, but it had completely vanished. This was rather disappointing as I'd hoped to find something to take photos, I might go back during the day to have a look, but that'd probably be silly considering how many people will be around.
Anyway, I should go and have a shower and get to bed.
I've been going to bed late, and sleeping in even later (think 2:30pm today) lately, which isn't good for getting any productive study done.

Hello!!
I just promised Elise that I'd start writing here again, so here goes.
I haven't even been reading what everyone's been up to, oh so slack.
Nassty evil exams in six days time, the first of which I'll fail if I don't start doing something, it's just so easy to do nothing dammit. Not to mention the folly of finally fixing my computer last week, after it's been non-functional for games and movies for the past 6 weeks or more.
Well, I might leave it at that, and come back later (famous last words you thing) :P
