BEDIM Day 31

WOO! Last BEDIM post! Don't worry dear 2 followers, I will still blog at least once a week for y'all.

So last night's party was weird, but still pretty good. So it started off with a few of us sitting on a couch and when we went to get drinks, Raph introduced us to one of her Uni friends, James (again, why does everyone' name have to start with J?). HE WAS THE SPITTING IMAGE OF GRANT GUSTIN! But that was the last we saw of him for the whole night.

There was a really big cushiony sofa in one corner, and at the start of the night we named it the make-out corner. However, 30 minutes in, it was renamed at the corner for people to go and sit if they didn't want the music to be too loud. We sat there for about 2 hrs, just talking, taking weird pictures and eating... a lot of eating.

Next thing we did was to go out and dance a bit, and when we were going out we passed our ex-Vice Principal... because that's totally normal. She's Raph's brother's Godmother.

So after that we went to dance but the DJ was crap and kept playing songs that we couldn't dance to.

We then had birthday speeches which were made by a couple of our friends, and that no-one payed much attention to because it went for ages. Then it was one of her uncles which made a total parody of the speech which was awesome. And then there was Greek dancing, which is basically walking around really fancily in a circle. We didn't really get it at first, but then Ms. Hiotis (the ex-VP) came along and showed us how and it was pretty easy.

By the end of that it was 11.30 and I went home, although the party was meant to go until about 1... but I was tired and sick.... and today my voice and cough is even worse.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 30

So last night was awesome. It was my sister's (and my old school's) Chorals performance, and it was the first time that I had watched it on one of the nights without having to usher anyone in between acts. It was really relaxing.

The first vocal soloist was from Flynn who performed Holy Moses by Washington. AND SHE DIDN'T RUIN THE SONG! Thank God for that! She was actually really good and ended up being my favourite. There was a girl who sung an Adele song, but I think that she wasn't gutsy enough for Adele.

I totally forgot that it was last dayof school today, and I'm writing this from the local Maccas so there are SO MANY CHILDREN AROUND! I thought that it would be peacefully quiet, but no.

Back to Chorals.

All of the Instrumental Soloists were pretty average except for the Flynn girl who performed a Pirates of the Carribean medley on the piano. She was the best because she actually had dynamics in hers.

The small groups were all actually pretty good, except for Brennan who ruined Sara Barellis' Kalaidoscope Heart for me. Also, Cattanach wasn't that great. Flynn wasn't either because they did Sweet Disposition and they were all a bit out of sync at the start. But if they could fix it up for today's performance, I'm sure that they'll be pretty good... But Macca was the best one for that.

Lastly, the Big Groups. Big Groups is where anyone could join (compared to the others which all involved auditions). Cattanach was the first group and they did a Spice Girls medley. They were horrible! They couldn't hit any of the high notes which just made it really bad. Flynn was up next and they did Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne.... which they ruined..... Then there was Macca. My sister has been saying for the past 4 weeks that they are terrible and that that they can't win at all, but I found it to be the best Big Group of the night. Firstly, THEY WERE SMILING! None of the other houses had smiled so it made it terrible. Secondly, their sound was together. They performed Iko Iko by the Dixie Cups and because it's a fast song, I thought they were going to be really bad and that their sound was going to be disjointed, BUT IT WASN'T. Now, I'm not just saying this because I was in Macca, but I really liked it and think that they'll win Big Group. Brennan was the last group to perform and did Bad Romance.... No.... just, no.

So overall, the best soloists were from Flynn, and the best Groups were from Macca. It's going to be a close call. The adjudication is today, so when I get home I'll put up another post and let you people on the internet (the majority of who probably stopped reading at the second sentence or didn't read this at all) know what happened and how the day went down.

For me, I've still got another 4 days of Uni until my Easter break (and until my birthday). This weekend is going to be chock a block with work. I have to finish that role play once my group send me their information, write an essay explaining my twisted version of Hansel and Gretel (which I shall post up here once the assignment submissions are finished, as well as the Red Riding Hood one that I wrote as a trial), and make a menu for my work (but that one's not so important).

For now though, I have a party tonight and have to fill up a picture album for my friend whose party it is. Looking forward to all the drunk people that I get to video. And because I don't have FaceBook, it's like I have special permission or something. It's great :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 29

NERALY FINISHED THIS BEDIM THING!!! I WILL SOON HAVE MORE TIME TO DO OTHER PROCRASTINATING THINGS!

Basically, I have to go out tonight and therefore only have from now, 4.30 until about 6.00 to do one whole assignment. NOT GOOD.

Better get started.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 28

So today there was a new guy at work. His name is Jack. WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE A NAME STARTING WITH J!!!???

It was weird. I was there about 10 minutes before and I was walking above the shop. I looked down and was like, "There is a guy with spiky blond hair. Where's Jeff?" and it was really weird.

I have so much to do.
1. Make a menu
2. Make a survey
3. Write a play about the Carbon Tax
4. Make a playlist for my party
5. Write a 1000 word essay

Seems like a few little things, but they are going to take so much work. Better get started.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 27

So today was both good and bad in parts.

1. Woke up feeling really groggy - bad
2. Had figs for breakfast - good
3. Dishwasher didn't dry dishes properly - bad
4. Dad drove me to tram stop - good
5. No pretty sunrise - bad
6. Caught the tram with my friend Bec - good
7. Was told in the first lecture about some government thing I need to fill out asap - bad
8. Went to a computer pod with Bec, Raushelle, Nick and Rachel - good
9. Was REALLY unproductive in terms of doing work - bad
10. Ate Nerds and Nick put some in his peanut butter sandwich... he really enjoyed it... like, REALLY enjoyed it. I would go so far as to say he had a foodgasm. Anyways.... - good
11. Went to a second lecture where I couldn't hear the woman and she talked really boringly - bad
12. Decided to go home and skip the last lecture - good
13. Bit into a roll which had a whole load of chilli - bad
14. NEW VLR AND HITS BY DAY! - good

WOOP!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 26

So today I had one of my assignments for Uni, where it was sort of peer assessed. We had to bring along 3 artefacts and tag them, so it was pretty good because the whoel class just decided to give each other 10's.

Then my friend Bec gave me her hard drive for the night, so I'm getting so many programs off her... mainly old Who, but it's still really good. I'm also going to be copying on Firefly and Dr Horrible and Chameleon Circuit and other awesome things. Really excited. SHE'S GONNA BE HOOKED!

My throat is also getting better. This morning it was horrible and I couldn't swallow properly, but now it's really good because (I think) an apple I ate was really sour and sour things usually help my throat. Also I've been drinking more today, as well as sucking on some Werthers. It's good.

I also found out today that Alex Day's signed Lady Godiva CD's will be shipped worlwide so YAY!

Oh, and I know it's late, but the BBC have now announced the new companion replacing the Ponds. I thought I recognised her, but it turns out that she hasn't been in anything I've seen which is weird.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 25

So today I went to see The Hunger Games. SO GOOD! I think the main point of why it's so good is that Suzanne Collins had so much input into the movie. Just looking through the credits she was one of the screen writers as well as being an executive producer. I really want to read the books now. Hoepfully someone gets it for my birthday. I like presents :)

Anyway, today I woke up for work and my throat was so sore! It really annoys me because I haven't done anything bad to it. I mean, I've been drinking heaps of water... must be cold weather?

Tomorrow I have 3 assignments due. One of them is my education unit where I bring along some artefacts and tags, another is a research assignment which I've already submitted online, and the last is my bit for a group assignment.... yeahhhhh..... need to get on that. Luckily I have a few big breaks tomorrow, so I can use them, but still if I get organised right now I can get some of it done. So... here's me getting orgnised.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

P.S. And may the odds be ever in your favour.

BEDIM Day 24

Almost a week to go until I get to finish writing BEDIM. As much as I love blogging, doing it everyday is really tiring... that's what she said.

Today was a good and bad day. In the morning I went out to DFO with my mum to try and find a dress and a nice warm jumper. Now, not being able to find a dress I like can be excused, but I have a bone to pick with the fashion industry. WHERE HAVE ALL THE NICE WOOLY JUMPERS GONE????? All the shops have now days are some cardigans which are too itchy, and some really thin jumpers which are pointless for winter. WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE WOOLY JUMPERS!???? That was a low point - when I realised that if I wanted one of thsoe types of jumpers that are so lovely and warm, I'd have to buy a guys jumper.

Anyway, after that I went out with my friend Sze Yee for lunch at Shira Nui (some Japanese place). It was nice to get together with her because I hadn't seen her for about 2 months. After that we went to The Glen and I bought some Truffles, Jumbo pack of Nerds and a Terry's Chocolate Orange altogether for $15. BARGAIN! Then we went around and went to Dymocks where I decided to buy TFioS because it was $15 there, and the checkout person WAS A NERDFIGHTER! I knew this because we got chatting about John Green's other books, and I asked if she was and she said yes! WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT! But... I FORGOT TO SAY DFTBA! I'M SO STUPID! HOW COULD I FORGET TO SAY THAT!!!!! GAH!!!

Anyways. After that Sze Yee and I decided to go to Knox, and we saw Lilla on the bus going there. Then when we got to Knox and couldn't find anything worthwhile to buy, we went to Sze Yee's house to collect her car and she drove me home. It's the first time any of my friends have driven me home... I quite liked it... I mean, it wasn't terrifying. I don't really know why people think that it's terrifying to be in the same car that your friend is driving. They must have been given their license for some reason, isn't it?

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 23

Blah blah blah.

I'M HERE WITH ALLY! WOOP! She is awesome. But as a result I am not going to write anything more.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 22

Please, I beg of everyone, be nice to people serving you whatever you are buying. NO MATTER WHAT!

I had a rubbish customer today. "What is the fat content of the pies?" When we couldn't tell her exactly, she went off saying "I'm going to call consumer affairs." NO YOU'RE NOT! You're just going to take the pie you just bought from us and go out and eat it, without thinking of how much fat is in there. Seriously, if the woman was so concerned about the fat content, just don't buy a pie. We told her, also, that they all have less than 98% fat, and she still was so sour about it. You don't see ehr going to ask the Sushi people to display their fat content.

Anyway, I'm watching Woodley at the moment. SO FUNNY! And then tonight I'm going to watch the Old Who episodes that my friend Bec gave to me. She's a good one she is.

Then I'm going to listen to VLR until I fall asleep.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 21

I can't be bothered to write a post today. So, here are picture from the sunrise this morning. It's beautiful.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 20 EXTRA!!!

Today was awesome. It was all lectures, but it was still pretty good.

In the morning, I hung around with Raushelle, Nick and Bec. Well, initially it was just Raushelle, Bec and I, and the lecture theatre was quite full when Nick walked in the other side of the massive room. He looked around for a bit and somehow didn't see us waving at him. So, being me, I yelled out his name and we proceeded to crack up laughing. Now all the people in the theatre know his name. *Puts fingertips together like Mr Burns* Excellent.

After the lecture we went to a computer pod. Nick is the craziest guy... HE LIKES GLEE! Which is strange, but totally awesome! And Bec gave me some old Who and the last episode of S3 Glee. And we then all talked about our favourite Glee songs, which was really cool.

Moral of this post: people who like Glee are awesome, and guys who like Glee are even more awesome than normal guys.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 20 - Dream: Meeting Kevin McHale

I had this dream at the start of last year and wrote it down in my old FanFiction book. I found it when I was looking through my old books and thought it needed sharing. Now, when I read it, it seems a bit Inception-y. I had the dream on the night of 29/1/11 – 30/1/11.

******

It was outside Melbourne Central’s Myer. I saw him across the road and I ran across to meet him. I told him that Artie was my favourite character and asked for an autograph and photograph. He obliged and I handed him my FanFiction notebook to sign, where he flipped to the back page and signed. Then I woke up, but I woke up in the dream, not in real life.

After smiling and resting my hands behind my head (in real life) I remembered that I hadn’t gotten a photo with him and thought, “This is my dream, I can control it,” so I went back to sleep where (in the dream) I was taking a photo with him. I then hugged him, said thank you to which he replied, “No problem.” I reversed my actions from before and ran back across the road. Then I woke up in real life.

******

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 19

Yesterday I watched Dr Horrible on YouTube. IT’S SO GOOD! Captain Hammer’s a dick, but Penny and Dr Horrible are really cool. And the music is awesome too.

I realised yesterday, after I had written the post, that I hadn’t actually done one assignment. I thought I had, but I wrote on the wrong thing :( I was meant to write on Hansel and Gretel, but I wrote about 1500 words on Red Riding Hood instead. I was so annoyed with myself because I spent so much time on it. But at least I know now what to do.

Anyway, today is Monday which means that I have my education tute this afternoon. That class is so awesome. In the first week we got to draw with crayons and oil pastels, and last week we got to have a class outside.

Another thing I’m excited for is the Nerdfighter gathering on Sunday. Actually, I think I might be working, but I’ll see if I can work on Saturday like I did this past weekend. I REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE NERDFIGHTER GATHERING!!!!!

Hmmm… what else is awesome at the moment? OH I KNOW! Alex Day sent around an email to the Nermie Army, giving us instructions about Lady Godiva. That video is amazingly hilarious and brilliant at the same time. It’s truly awesome.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 18

Yo dudes! How's it goin? Whatcha up to? I'm good, but a little tired.

I had a party last night which was much better than other parties. I thought it was going to be one of those ones where you sat around and did nothing, but PEOPLE ACTUALLY DANCED AT THIS PARTY! It made it really good and so much fun.

I've finally decided what to do for my own party... just not sure if I should have it or not. I want to have it, but my previous experiences of being a host have not been very good. It would be on the Easter weekend which is really good because it means that everyone has Uni off.

I did one of my assignments yesterday. So that's two down, four to go. I've done my artefact collecting and written my own version of Red Riding Hood. Now I have 2 science assignments, 1 survey and an essay to write. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish one of my science assignments in my breaks.

I want to tell you my favourite joke, as seen in a Hank Green VlogBrothers video:
What do you call a monkey that walks into a minefield? A BA-BOOM!!!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 17

So today I had work and it was way busier than normal... well, I normally work on weekdays, so working on the weekend is just really full on. And just as I was about to finish my shift, who comes up to the counter, but my mum and dad. And, of course, they are the worst customers I've had all day. They asked for one combo and another pie, then ask for a drink on top of that and I'm just thinking, "Why didn't you just ask for another combo?????" Bah humbug.
So, afterwards, I came home and went onto nerdighters.ning.com for the first time in a while, and asked for help in reference to my party and one girl made the dance party idea sound really cool, so I think I might do that anyway. I think I might theme it though... Sci-Fi. It has to be! ... or I might have it in a function room so my mum doesn't have to cook. I dunno.

Gah! I have to get on with my Uni work now.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 16

It's going to be my birthday in just over 3 weeks, and as it's my 18th, I want to have a big party. But here's the deal, I don't like big parties.

Well, I do, but in the past year, all the big parties I've been to have consisted of loud music by artists I hate and standing around and talking. Normally my friend, Andrea, and I would go into a quieter room to talk. It seems that we are the only ones who hate that type of party.

I don't know why those parties are so attractive to people because they are so BORING! There is literally nothing to do.

But the thing is that most of my parties over the last few years, while it may seem a good idea at the time of thinking, no one is going to be as enthusiastic like me about my idea. So this year, I was thinking of having half the party sort of Amazing Race -ish ending with that loud music everyone seems to like. At least that will be fun for me, as well as letting people be in teams with people they like. I don't know. Let me know what you think. Alternatively I'll just go out with Jess and my cousins because that's what I did last year and that was most fun. I also may be working on my birthday, even though it's Easter Sunday ... in that case I'll be spending it with Hannah. I like Hannah. She's cool.

So if anyone reads this and has had a really good party experience, leave a comment below. Also, if you have had a bad party experience leave a comment below too.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 15

Short post today, I have to get on with my Uni work.

I GOT TO SLEEP IN TODAY! It felt so good to be able to sleep in.

NEW OODCAST OUT TODAY!!! It’s a Regeneration Game! WOOP! It’s like Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation becomes totally focused on Doctor Who.

ALEX DAY’S LADY GODIVA VIDEO IS OUT! IT’S HILARIOUS!

Quote of the day: “Of course he isn’t gay! He went out with my sister!”

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 14

I’m sitting here, on a seat in Knox Ozone, writing this blog post on a notepad. No, that’s not my term for a tablet or anything, it’s literally a notepad and I’ll be transcribing this into a post later. So technically, the time posted may say 4:30 or whenever, but it was written 10:10 in the morning.

I hate Wednesdays. For Uni, I only have the one lecture in the morning from 8-9. It’s so pointless to go in for just one hour, especially since I can just watch the lecture online. But at least it gets me up – there’s nothing better than a walk through the cold morning air. It’s just a little weird to be up before the street lights are turned off, and I’m not a fan of getting up at 6:00. Actually, let’s make an amendment. I don’t like Wednesday mornings.

So after the lecture this morning, I came straight here to Knox, 1 ¼ hrs early for my work shift. I got some free Milo cereal from a lady and got some photos printed. I CAN NOW FINISH MY WALL OF STUFF!

*6 hours later*

Just come back from work and I still have to go to piano in about 15 minutes. I’m just so tired and want to go to bed. Seriously, by the time I finished work I already had my eight hour day and would be relaxing and watching TV.

You know what I realised? I realised that I initially made myself do this BEDIM thing to make myself get on with reviewing Doctor Who episodes... I haven’t really done that... I’ve just been telling you about my day...

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 13

Day 13… unlucky for some, but for others (the others who aren’t ridiculously superstitious) a normal day. So far, today has been a normal day.

I had my 8 a.m. lecture today for my education unit. Twas good. We were asked what it meant to be human. For me, being human is just being anatomically correct – you have a body, organs, a skeleton – and is completely different from being a person. In stories, for example, animals can be considered people because they have a personality. But a human is just a physical being; there is no meaning to the word unless you consider a human to be a person.

After the lecture I went with some new friends (yay!) to a computer pod and did some of the reading about Red Riding Hood. It was explained to me that the Red Hood is symbolic of her TOM and the wolf is symbolic of a man trying to lure into his … clutches(?). I cannot read the same story again. Take the line “Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and climbed into the bed.”(Charles Perrault) … now that I know the meaning, it sounds slightly wrong…. And then take a sentence from the Grimm version: “‘What’s that you’ve got under your apron?’ ‘Cake and wine…’” It’s not right is it?

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 12

Last night I watched a program about linguistics and sound. It was really interesting, and the fact that Stephen Fry was hosting it was a bonus. He was seeing how quickly children adapt to the world around them to learn their first language. He interviewed this guys who taught his son Klingon as his first language but eventually the kid started to speak English, even if his dad was speaking Klingon. I was just thinking about the poor kid growing up. For example, when he’s ten and some of his friends can speak Italian, Greek or a Chinese dialect because they had family members who spoke those languages, just imagine the kid’s shame in saying that his Dad taught him Klingon as his first language? He’s going to be a laughing stock.

In other news, I just found out that Mark Williams, known best for bring Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter, is going to play Rory’s dad, Brian Williams in the next series of Who. I mean, I knew he was going to be in Who, I just didn’t know his role until now! See this post for more.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 11

Had another shift today at work with a girl called Hannah. She's nice. I like her. It was good... until I burnt my arm on the top of the display thingy. I now have two lines on my skin... a bit like mini tyre tracks... Although it didn't really hurt as much as normal burns usually do. It stung for about 5 minutes and then the pain went away.

I've almost finished reading The Fault In Our Stars for the second time and it's still making me cry. DAMN YOU JOHN GREEN! I guess I better finish it soon... it's due back at the library tomorrow... hmmm. I would really like An Imperial Affliction to be real, but I know it isn't so, again, DAMN YOU JOHN GREEN!

*Sigh* I guess I better get on with my uni work now...

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 10 EXTRA!!!!

So, ten days gone, here's a treat for ya'll :)

The other day at work, we found a tip jar -  well, it was more of a chip bucket with coins, but stay with me for this - and one of the people I work with decided to fancy it up a little. He used candycanes and sparkly pipecleaners to try and make it fancier. I don't think it's fancier, but it certainly is flashy :)

What do you think?

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

P.S.The only tips we got that day were from the guy who made it because he wanted to claim that we would get heaps of tips... It doesn't count if it's the employees tipping the business... does it?

BEDIM Day 10 - Music Matters

My taste in music, well, isn’t really what you’d expect to hear. I mean, very few people have heard of the bands I like, so no-one would expect to know them... unless I was at a Nerdfighter gathering or something. But my taste in music is still good, and the artists I like are even better than the rubbish Top 40 songs that are our now. YES I’M TALKING ABOUT GYM CLASS HEROES’ STEREO HEARTS! (Also, the rapping in Back Home is also rubbish (it has no set beat) but at least Neon Hitch makes it a little better.) But my sister, who is undeniably a sheep as she follows the crowd in liking rubbish music, seems to think that there is only one type of good music: her music. It seems that other people cannot have different tastes in music, unless they want to be seen as barbaric. Her argument usually ends with, “OK, then why isn’t any of your music in the Top 40?” and now I can say, “Actually, Alex Day’s Forever Yours got to Number 4 on the Christmas Charts in England, which is a huge market. And better still, he was unsigned.” And she would say, “Yeah, well, that’s England, it doesn’t count. Anyway, what about the rest of your songs? They didn’t get into the charts?” (Because apparently the only thing that means good music, are people buying other people’s rubbish songs so that they can stay at number one.) And I say, “It’s because their unsigned. They didn’t enter a talent show or anything, and that’s what they haven’t been spotted. The amount of hours record labels would have to use to sift through videos of babies laughing and cats purring, would send anybody mad, as well as they just can’t be bothered.” And at that, she walks away, mimicking me because she can’t come back with anything good. BOOYAH! Point to Lian :)

Anyway ... in case you were wondering:

Favourite Male Artists:

- Alex Day

- Christian Caldeira

- Luke Conard

- Hank Green

- Darren Criss

Favourite Female Artists:

- Kate Miller-Heidke

- Eliza Doolittle

- Pink

Favourite Bands:

- Chameleon Circuit

- ALL CAPS

- Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls

- HeyHiHello

- Paramore

- The Caulden Road

And yes, I am aware that some of them are Top 40 artists, but if they haven’t been in the charts for a month, my sister doesn’t count them as good artists.

Artists I dislike:

- Lady Gaga

- Gym Class Heroes

- Reece Mastin

- Britney Spears

- 360

- One Direction

- Skirllex

- Chris Brown

- Cee Lo Green

- Taio Cruz

- Usher

- Flo Rida (Basically, most rap artists with the exception of Eminem)

 - Bruno Mars

- Gotye

- Lana Del Rey

... The list goes on and on and on and on and .....

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 9

Ok, so apparently the reason I don't know anything about Kony is because it was all over FaceBook and I don't have FaceBook... so there you go. It can't be that big of a deal. I mean, I haven't even seen it on any of the newspapers.

Anyway, last holidays I was REALLY bored, and I started to watch the Vlogbrothers videos from the beginning. When I came across the song Nerdfighteria Island, I just had to draw my version of Nerdfighteria. And here it is:

Yes, I know, I did the YouTube sign wrong. I didn't even realise until I finshed making the picture and I was so annoyed with myself for not realising it.

If you would like to know what each thing is, below is the named version, but some of the main things are the exploding TARDIS as the Sun, the Death Star as the Moon, Nermie Army Pirate Ship, Bad Wolf Bay up the top of the island, Pixar and Disney complex's, the guitar is called This Machine Studios, and there is a French Llama Paddock at the side :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 8

So, I have now officially made a week writing for this blog every day... And I'm already running out of ideas.

So yesterday I had my first shift for my work. I think I got the hang of things quite quickly, but just remembering what to do with the discounts and vouchers is annoying. Also, the till doesn't always open, but I have found out a secret way to make it open for me. Today I mainly did the serving, which was good, but got really boring at times, mainly because everyone comes in massive dribs and drabs.

At the moment, I'm sitting here, watching My Kitchen Rules and the cricket finals simultaneously whilst my sister is over at the other computer, crying her eyes out. We had this discussion at dinner, where she told us of this guys called Kony in Uganda doing something or other to kids, and he's been on the run for 10 years or something.I haven't been home all day, so I haven't had the chance to even look at the news. Anyway, I got home just as The Project were doing their news wrap up, and there was nothing. In the mX newspaper I got on the tram, there was nothing. You'd think that something this big, would be everywhere, but it wasn't. I had to Google something very specific to get to the article. And now, she's crying. Boo hoo.

Anyway..........

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 7- Good Things

So many thing are going on with me. Good things.

1. I have training for my job this afternoon. I've managed to meorise the drink, combos and the symbols for the pies. Just need to know the order now.
2. I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars last night. I cried like a baby, oh my gosh! I was actually planning to read it on the tram this morning, thank god I didn't otherwise I would look really stupid... you know, crying on a tram.
3. My lecture this morning was really early, and whilst that may be bad, I got to come back home before I would normally wake up. So that basically means that I get the rest of the day to myself (until work) which is awesome.
4. I watched MKR last night and the people I don't like, Peter and Gary, got into the elimination.
5. Sammy J and Randy are on the Comedy show I recorded. Sammy and J and Randy are awesome.
6. Charlie and Alex released new videos. Also, Dave Days' new song comes out today.
7. Did I mention I have a job? :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 6

So tomorrow, I have my first ever proper job thing at a pie shop. I have to memorise the order of the pies for tomorrow, and I'm not really sure how to go about that. I've never been good at memorising things in the past, so I really hope that I'll be able to remember them.

In other news, this is the first post I've written from another location - Deakin. I have a two hour break, and one of those is without any of my friends. I tried to do some of my science assignment, but I'm just not motivated enough at the moment.


I still have to call up the other place and decline their offer of employment, otherwise I'm going to be in big doo-doo... just like Jar Jar. And I have to call my piano teacher to reschedule my lesson. *Sigh*, so much to do, so little time. WHY IS TIME SO FLEETING!?

This morning I had my first lecture for my education unit in my course. It was fun. Again, I don't know if it's just because it's the first lecture, but I like it. For the same unit, next week I have to bring an artifact to class about something from my schooling years. I think I might bring a Coles bag because when I was in Year 7, I was a total nerd and carried around my books in a green and/or blue Coles bag. I have to make an annotation for it too ... It might say something like: "Arm-breaker: *blah blah blah*" mainly because my books... well, pencil case, always made it really heavy and carrying it was annoying. I dunno.

I have my Children's Texts lecture next, which should be interesting. They can explain to everyone why we have to read Twilight...

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 5 - First Day

So today was my first day at Deakin Uni, and Oh. My. Gosh. It was so much fun! I don’t think it would always be that exciting, mainly because this week is mainly a “getting to know each other” type of week, but I hope it stays fun.

First off, I had my Language lecture, which, wasn’t so fun, but it was really interesting and the lecturer was funny, leading me to believe that I have made the right choice.

At 12 I had my science tutorial, which I wasn’t really looking forward to, and I couldn’t find the class for ages, but it turned out to be alright seeing as it was a getting to know you lesson. That class also has a deaf person, so they have an interpreter standing up the front. The teacher said to try not and get distracted, but it didn’t really work...

At 2 I had my education class where we pushed the tables back, sat in circles, imitated animals and drew pictures in oil pastel and crayon. It was so much fun, and it looks like the future classes are going to be similarly fun.

One thing that is a little weird, is that I get to call my lecturers and tutors by their first names. But I’ll get used to it, just like I’ll have to get used to kids calling my Miss Meacco.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 4 – Starship Troopers

So a couple of nights ago, Starship Troopers was on, and I recorded it because it was on late at night. I had heard it was what Starship, Starkid’s latest production, was based on. But I didn’t expect it to be so similar. Don’t get me wrong, it’s exciting that it’s so similar, but I just can’t take it seriously after seeing Starkid do something similar.

First, there is a character like Krayonder, he even had a knife thrown at his hand. The there is another guy from Farm Planet. The commander is like Up would be before his war wound. There is the tough girl who Taz emulates. Of course there is the hero, like Bug, who joins up to get away from his world. There is the best friend who just wants women (played by  a REALLY young Neil Patrick Harris), and then there are the recruition ads that are just like the Starship Ranger recrution ads. The characters are also from Buenos Aires, like Taz. It’s all very awesome.

This movie is so awesome! Even the big bad bug likes to eat their brains! IT'S AWESOME!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

P.S. Also,  I was thinking while I was playing piano, that Amy and Rory must survive because they were on the hilltop waving to each other in Hungry Earth.

BEDIM Day 3 - Wasted Days

So today, I basically only have one good break to myself before bed. Because we're renovating our kitchen and bathroom, every single weekend we've been going out to the shops to look for bathrooms and stuff. Every. Single. Weekend. And it's SOOOOOO BOOOORRRRRRIIINNNGGGGG!!! If it weren't for my sister and I mucking around in the shops, we'd be brain dead by now.

Anyway, today we went out again and tonight we are having people over. I don't mind it, it's just I have to do some preparation work... degutting prawns. So that always takes ages, and tonight the guest probably won't leave until midnight. I'm not complaining because it's Jess and she's awesome, but I just want time to myself. It's nice to have time to myself, and I'd like to have a longer time to myself to read or whatever, but today I just don't have time.

Moral of this post: I want more time to myself :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 2 - What's New Pussycat?

So, a lot has changed in my life since yesterday. The most noticeable change in my life is that I have a job. So, yesterday I got a call from Nanna RICH Pies at Knox, asking if I was able to come in today. I said I was, and today, at 2, I went in. When I was there, I was told to take down notes about the order of the pies, the register, drinks and basically everything else. I did not expect any of that at all, but it’s FABULOUS! The people there are really nice to me too, and to each other which is great. Also, all their names start with J: John, Jean and Jeff. I’m such an odd one out...

After that I went to a bookshop to wait for mum to finish her shopping, and I found The Fault In Our Stars! I was really surprised because it’s Australia and we never get anything good.

In other news, I had a really cool dream last night. I was listening to VLR for basically the whole day because their latest episode is hilarious. I was listening to it in bed and I fell asleep whilst it was still playing. If anyone has listened to VLR 3x11, you’ll know what “Suckle at me Tweet” is and how funny it is in this episode. Basically, my dream was that I was there with Alex, Jimmy and Charlie at the recording when Jimmy had to decide what to tweet. I was sitting a fair bit away from Alex and Jimmy, with Charlie, and was searching up “the top 10 controversial things to say” when Jimmy came up with his tweet about J.K. Rowling. It was sort of like Sherlock in the way the scene appeared to me. For example, when Jimmy was typing into his phone, what he was typing in appeared above his phone, and above Charlie’s iPad when he was searching up what people were saying in reply to Jimmy. My dream ended when Charlie explained to Alex that a certain tweet was sent ages ago. And, when I woke up, the podcast was at the exact spot that my dream had ended! How cool is that!?!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 1

So, it’s the first day of Blog Every Day in March. I’m wondering if I’ll actually post every day, and if this will turn into a 31 posts in 31 days.

I thought I might start by giving y’all an update. So during the past 3 days, I’ve been going into Deakin for O Week. It’s been pretty good: there was free food and free stuff. On Monday I didn’t have anything on, but I met up with a couple of friends and met a couple of new ones. There was one girl, Taylor, who is in a band called Volatile Diversity, which is made up of members from her high school. She also plays 6 (?) instruments including 3 types of guitar. Why is it, that whenever I meet someone new, they are always so unbelievably talented?

On Tuesday I had a sort of meet and greet for my course in the morning which included a campus tour. They took us to a place called the learning space and they had the most awesome chairs. I call them the “Muahaha chairs” because they look like blue versions of the Emperors chair from Star Wars. I then walked around the stalls for a bit and I got so much free stuff. I got a laptop shoulder bag (for my imaginary laptop), a cap, a fancy type hat and a few vouchers for discounted hot chocolates. Then, for three hours I went on the computers in the library until a lecture at 3.

Then, yesterday, I went in for a lecture about going out to schools. We then were separated into groups. In my group, we played a sort of speed-dating game where we would say one lie and two truths. A lot of people thought that when I said I didn’t have Facebook, that it was the lie. BUT THEY WERE WRONG! All except for one girl called Amy. My two truths were that I didn’t have Facebook and that I loved Doctor Who, and my lie was that I liked avocado. When Amy was guessing she said, “It’s not Doctor Who, because I love Doctor Who,” ... OH MY GOD! EPICNESS! So, we high fived and in a treasure hunt later, we paired up and got talking about Doctor Who. Her full name is Amy Smith, which I like because it’s a mixture of Amy Pond and Matt Smith. It was awesome. And, like Taylor, she plays HEAPS of instruments, and so much more talented then me. Fun times.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!
