maybe it's all over

A rather funky day was today had, involving all things a good christmas should have. Getting prezzies, giving prezzies, lazing around, eating, eating, and swimming at the beach.

I don't know quite what else to say, my mind is void.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hey, I know it's tomorrow, but I'm not going to write then. So, what'd all you kiddies get? Or what are you going to get?

It actually rained a couple of days ago. Not enough to do much, but enough that the dust was held down for a little bit.

If you didn't recognise them, those lyrics were from 'Novocaine for the Soul', by the Eels. And Damo, yes, you are an uncultured cretin.

Well, I'm now minus four teeth, with a sore mouth and some swelling to show for it.

I still haven't bought any family Christmas presents, and I'm not going to feel like it much now. I've got no idea what I want either, so you're not alone Anthony.

I still believe in rain, but I guess I'm a dying minority, dammit.

Mmm, rage is great *swoons*. Well, maybe that's going a bit far, but it stomps the satellite music channels into the ground for a few hours a week.

I feel like an uncultured cretin, I'm pretty sure I am one. I'm also totally useless at even hearing lyrics, much less remembering them. Often wish I was better.

I should probably finish my yoghurt (go soft foods!) and head to bed, it's getting towards lateish.

I hope someone out there is as lazy as I am regarding Christmas presents. I can't even decide what I want, let alone what I should get anyone else. So I haven't gotten anything yet.

Zoe, why was your birthday a very bad day? Or is it one of those things that one should not ask? And, which part of this big, hot, dry state are you coming to? And I hope you like sunshine, because, well, we don't believe in rain up here anymore. So we don't have any, which explains why everything plant-like and many things animal-like are dying.

Elise, how you can get me and Damo mixed up I don't know. But I AM getting my wisdom teeth out, just not for 3 or 4 weeks. and I only have 2. Both impacted, badly. But where they're supposed to be, unlike Damo's.

Life is good
and I feel great
cos mother says i was
a great mistake

If you don't recognise that, you are an uncultured cretin. Or, you just don't listen to enough Eels. Probably the latter.

Novocaine,
for the soul.
give me something,
to fill the hole.
Before I sputter out.

Elise! *strenuously objects to being mistaken for Anthony* :)
Sounds like a pretty full working schedule you've got laid out, and money for nothing is always wonderful. I've still got some money sitting around, but that's because I've still got some presents to buy. I've got no idea what to give some people, namely those in my family here.
It needs to be hot to wear your red dress? That sounds.. curious.

I inquired with my mother about when I'll be in Mackay at the end of next year, and it sounds like not much at all. I completely forgot about her plan for us all to go to Canada for a few weeks, which would involve leaving early December and getting back after Christmas.

I'd better dash, Dad's calling out my name in desperation.

Wheeeeee

Hey Ben, it's great to hear that you're still alive and kicking. Mackay's been okish since I last blogged, not great, not terrible. Been reading even more books, managing to avoid TV, not too hard considering how much crap is usually on. Trying to fix the damn computers dad has lying around...

I went in to the Mater Hospital today to see the surgeon who's going to take out my wisdom teeth tomorrow. His first words when he saw my X-Ray was a rather loud "My Goodness!", I'm not sure whether that's a good sign or not. I'm a little scared at the sound of the general anaesthetic, a jab in your wrist, and ten seconds later you're out to it.

The dates I'm going to be in Mackay at the end of next year?? You must be joking! That's an awfully long way away, but unless something drastic happens I could be back almost any time. I didn't even decide when I was coming back this time until a couple of weeks before.

Ooooh, Zoe's coming to Queensland??? Where abouts in Queensland Zoe, it's a fairly big state you know :)

In other news, I was conned in to getting a hair cut, I've now got short hair, looks totally different if you've seen me any time in the last two years. I think I like it, sooo much cooler, and easier to keep neat. I'd suggest it for anyone.

Finally got around to booking my seat back to Brisbane, I get back 8 hours before the New Year, should be enough time to have fun and get up to mischief, but we'll see.

I should probably go and see about all things Christmassy, since tomorrow is out, and I probably won't feel like doing anything much for a few days. I really am very silly for getting these teeth out so close to Christmas, because I probably won't be able to eat much of anything of the feast my mother is supposedly planning. I'll survive, or whip out the blender, or something. Mmmm, christmas dinner shake.

OH

HI everyone. ZOE sorry to be so late in birthday wishes *token birthday wishes*
TELL me youre having your party-ayy on saturday night!
What part of qld are you going too? TELL US! - HI DAMO! hows mackay since your last blog?
HI ANTHONY! hows YOUR things? (i had no excuse, sorry! :/) HI HI HI HI hi hi *sigh* HI!

Anthony! Damo! tell me the dates you guys are going to be in Mackay at the end of next year (y'now, the bit AFTER june/july) - Im trying to organise a couple of weeks up there sometime with myself and elise and hopefully kat and who knows who else!

BYE FNOW

For those of you who didn't already know (probably most), one of my nicknames is Sick. Got it? Anthony = Sick. Just thought I'd clarigy that, because Damo can't content himself to one name per person.

Elise, I would give to the EITTGOOTGH Fund, but I suspect my bank account is in worse shape than yours. Much worse.

If you hadn't guessed, I'm doing nothing. Nothing at all. The beauty of uni holidays. If I wasn't so damned lazy, I'd be bored.

aaah Mackay, it's hot, it's dry, it's the most wonderful place to visit!
Got back bright and early Sunday morning, and haven't done an awful lot since. Family's alive, I still have a room, the internet and TV are both more boring than ever before.

Happy birthday for days ago Zoe! How old does that make you now?

OK, my uni results are crap, because I did no work, through the semester or for the exams, I failed two subjects, conceeded pass on another, and then a credit and a distinction. I need to work out what I want to do, and why I'm at uni, and why I should do work, and all that sort of crap, or I might as well go and live in a hole.

This keyboard here is crap, it's making me feel ill, or something like that, I might leave it alone, and say goodnight, etc etc

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOH!!!! For another hour and a half my time, half an hour of your time.

Damo, I have no idea what happenned with the beavers. It appears that they escaped - they chewed their way out of the truck. But, if you read the fine print in the contract, you'll find that as soon as they go in the truck, they're your problem. So have fun sorting that one out.

Does anyone mind if I abuse hell out of UQ? No? Good. Considering that I got 2 passes this semester. And I deserved at least credits for both of them. Considering that one of my exams, apparently only 5 people passed (out of about 60), and it wasn't on what we were told it would be on. And the other one, well, lets just say that I don't think that the marker is a very nice person at all, and we'll leave it at that shall we? Good, glad that's settled.

I attempted to learn to play golf during the week. Some very interesting shots, most of which were best described as very, very bad. Now if the aim was to put balls into the scrub, or the water, they'd be great shots. But it's not, and they weren't.

Hey, you. Yes, you. What's your excuse for not writing on here? Don't give me that. That's no excuse at all. Oh, why didn't you say so? Well, alright then.
