Argh My Hair Is So Long.

Apologies for being so far behind my updates on my mini-365 project, it's just that I've been using film for the past two weeks and haven't been bothered getting my arse down to a lab to get the rolls developed. Sooo, hopefully I'll be able to visit Vanbar tomorrow and pick them up on Tuesday (which is also when I get my haircut) - fingers crossed.

I have no idea who in Melbourne reads this stuff, whom I don't already know, but, if anyone is free this Tuesday come along to the Melb Aquarium at 2pm :]

The Fast And The Furious Produces Great Quotes

I hope everyone had a fun and eventful 2009, filled with no regrets and plenty of memories. As a wise character once said, "...life's simple, you make choices and you don't look back," deep huh?

2009 ended differently than I thought it would have, but it was a change, and change can be good, so I'm going to keep thinking about that rather than being depressed on how I'll be "celebrating" two decades of my life in 6 months time. Woo hoo~



note. Project photos for this week's batch will be uploaded Tuesday after I pick them up from being developed. So expect lots of grain love soon.

A Time To Rejoice

So, what is a teenage meant to do with three months of holidays?

Exams are over, which marks the end of first year at RMIT for me. Freeeedom. I'm ever so slightly unsure as what to do now. Three months? That's a lot of free time, in my opinion of course.

SADOSAGFIGADKJGHAG PHWOOOAR!!!

Let the bludging begin.

Hi *waves*

“What now?”
“Nothing.”



“Then why are you blogging?”
“Just procrastinating my sleep.”



“Don’t you have an exam tomorrow?”
“Yup. But it’s too hot to sleep, so I thought I’d go looking for some old photos I remember my dad taking years ago.”




“Don’t stay up too late okay?”




“Aiya, don’t worry. See you later.”

And A Happy Slurpee Day To You Too

Ever enthusiastic about obtaining goods for free, a few of us armed with nothing but a iPhone and a car, ventured out today in the quest of getting ourselves some free Slurpees.



We first attempted to hit the Mt Waverley 7/11 - that failed. On our second attempt, Box Hill, we were also unsuccessful. Third time lucky, Camberwell, we managed to get one. Not entirely happpy with the rude and grumpy attitude of the folk who resided there, we ventured on into the city. Our target, Collins St.



We came.



We took.



We rejoiced.

I hope your 7/11 day was just as fun :]

Sharing The Fun

Some time last week I decided to replace my "bag camera" from my Sony P&S with my newly acquired, and vastly more awesome, Fanta can shaped film camera. Nothing fancy, just fully mechanical point and shoot, but it was great fun to use.



After taking photos normally, I tried see if I could maybe do some double exposures with it, but the shutter button would lock after you take a photo, forcing you to advance the roll. Did I give up? No, I tried rewinding the roll to the previous photo and took another photo! Yeah...that didn't actually work out, Half my roll came out completely burned out, with a few black spots. So sad...



I love how warm, crappy focus and film grain give some photos such a nostalgic feel.

Just Your Average Little Rant

LOL @ fail photo of me trying to break my phone.

What a crappy day. After waking up too late to make it to my practical class, I get online to check my bank balance. No change. Fan freaking tastic. A week after I should have been paid, I still haven’t been paid. This sucks, because I might have to pay a fine to Metlink as I didn’t have my health care card (concession card) on me today. The one time I forget to bring my wallet with me, the one time, and there has to be inspectors on the tram.

But why am I catching public transport when I have a car? On the weekend some foo managed to run into the rear of the Rav. The damage wasn’t huge, but it still means the car had to be sent off to be repaired under insurance. So, I’m carless for about a week. Yayy...not. To think I missed catching public transport.

On my way home on the bus I try going online, but the phone won’t connect to the internet. Yeah okay, this has happened before, no big deal. I get home, decide to make a call, but then get a nice message from a lady informing me that my 3 service isn’t connected. Oh really? Even after I paid your stupidly huge bill last month for random crap? 3 can go get stuffed once this contract is over.

As of today, and until sometime next week, I will be without my baby Nikon because it's with Steven so he can do some photo shoot this Saturday. I don't mind this, but when I went for my little digi cam, the battery was flat, which means that I actually typed this post up two hours ago but have simply been waiting for the battery to charge so I can take a photo to accompany this post. Fuuuuuu..

Only things that could make this worse is for my mum to come home saying that Centrelink have cut off my Youth Allowance support and that the Rav won’t be coming home until next month. Then, in a few weeks I get an appeal rejection from Metlink, forcing me to pay the $175 fine and another massive bill from 3 for crappy service. ASODHASHGFJKAHFSAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: Phone issue resolved~ For some reason a bill payment from July was rejected. That been paid for, and I now have a huuuuuuge phone and internet cap :D
