Little semi-daily things


So i was bored, shoot me. Though I doubt anyone will read this page, ever.

24 October 1998
Well my biology exam was yesterday and I have probably failed, joy. I have Biochem on tuesday so I should be studying, and just using this study break but I can't think of anything to add to it right now..... So.... I'm taking questions, email me (use the anon. email on the geoguide if you don't want me to know who asked) with things you think I should be telling about myself, and if I feel it wouldn't scare people too much I'll try and honestly reply to them. And in the process make this page a little more interesting.

27 October 1998
Just had my Biochem exam, three guesses who failed :). So to cheer myself up I bought "Am I The Same Girl" by Dusty Springfeild.
Well, I might luck out and pass *fingers, toes, ankles, necks etc crossed*. But I guess I just wasn't destined to be a drug dealer.

2 November 1998
Spent today getting my Community Wage setup so that I have something to live on once my student allowance runs out. I also bought a manga Sailor Moon notebook :).
I had a great weekend, went to a halloween dance dressed as "robin the goodfellow" with pointy ears, a crown of flowers and ivy, a bright orange tunic (made from curtaining) and a heck of a lot of glitter(which is rather uninclined to come out of my hair).
Have Fun

7 November 1998
I am yet to start my stats study, and the exam is on the ninth. Three guesses who is going to fail :o).
I went to a party last night that kind of sucked, but got better later on. And I twisted my knee and it hurts :~(. Nothing much happening in my life except a growing fear of STAT115.

11 November 1998
I'm on holiday. On monday I failed STAT115. Then yesterday I helped one of the friends move out of her hostel. And now I'm all alone in Dunedin, with no friends :^(.
Now I'm sitting home writing poetry and watching movies videoed off Sky. And generally practising the fine art of sloth. Well it can only get better.

12 November 1998
I've spent today further practising the art of sloth. I spent most of the day downloading MP3 files (which I will obviously delete tomorrow, maybe). Other than that, today has achieved nothing for me. And it is raining, lots. And kinda windy for dunedin too.

16 November 1998
I'm having a warm fuzzy day today. The sky is clear, its warm and sunny. I saw BEAUTIFUL THING last night, it is so great. Though the soundtrack has songs that aren't in the movie and the movie has songs that aren't on the soundtrack, but it was mostly the same. But both are still very cool (spot the Mama Cass fan). And the movie is so great I think I'll keep the video in my lil' collection. I also got an email from someone I had a crush on during 97.
Well I'm off to enjoy the day.
Have Fun.

17 November 1998
I am so bored. I have no money. And I won't have any until the communtiy wage payments start and I don't think thats till decemeber sometime :o(.
I went window shopping today. It was kinda fun. No-one has any Mama Cass Elliot Albums though, and I looked everywhere I could think of.
Well, I have nothing much to say today. So Buh-bye for now.

20 November 1998
Yesterday I went window shopping and found a couple of CDs I wanted, one which I bought at the time (Cosi) and one that I brought today (Labyrinth). So I'm now really poor :(. I have to learn not to spend money i can afford to spend.
Well, I think, as it's Friday, I should head to town and be sociable (is that a word?). Buh-bye.

24 November 1998
Wahoo, its Tuesday. Happy happy joy. I was going to start being extremely candid about things in here BUT then I found out people have actually been reading it. How bored are people? It worries me that someone out there has such a dull life.
Well as it is, I have nothing much to write. My hunney is still studying for exams, so I'm feeling a tad lonesome. But really, when it come right down to it, I'm just a clingy guy. Which is kinda scary. But I have my Amylase so it's not all bad :o).
I went to a cruddy lil sixth former party this morning, they were celebrating the start of the christmas holidays. I was so dull, everyone was either on the computer, the playstation or in the queue to use either of them :(.
Well I should go start a real mail letter to Rachael, a friend of mine in Wellington, I haven't heard a thing of her since the STAT exam.
Buh-bye

26 November 1998
Didn't do much today. Added some poems I tidied up last night to my web page. Went to the library and issued three Bill Peet books and one Maurice Sendak (Where the wild things are :)). I'm trying my hand at writing childrens stories, so thought reading books by some of the greats could only help.
Well that's it for now. My life is to dull to write much more. Buh-bye.

30 November 1998
I've been going out with my significant other for three months today. Which is really amazing considering the longest relationship I've ever had before was only a couple of weeks.
This morning I started another webpage for my Palladium stuff, but it doesn't actually have anything on it yet so I won't give a link. Well actually I'm bored so I will.
I also had to go to Student Job Search, I am a job hunter and all. And then I went to the library and issued "Slinky Malinki - Catflaps" by Lynley Dodd, "The Cat in the hat" by Dr Seuss and "The pinkish, purplish, bluish egg" by Bill Peet to help me in my attempt to write a childrens book, and "Pyramids" by Terry Pratchett just coz I've read it before so I can read it again without having to use my brain at all.
Well I can't think of anything else to write, so Buh-bye.

2 December 1998
I'm doing the whole festive season depression thing. Life sucks. I'm being made to babysit for atleast two and a half hours a day, unpaid. I'm really hating my mother. The fact she's shagging the boarder doesn't improve my opinion of her at all. I kind of hope she picks up something nasty and dies, slowly and painfully.
Though I got a bit of a cheer up today, a friend of mine, Rachel, stopped by with a big pottle of alcoholic ice cream. Mmmmmmmm, ice cream.
Well, I'm too grumpy to write much more, so buh-bye.
I did get real mail today though, even if it was a bulk sent photocopied Christmas letter, from Fangurl. She sent me my first christmas card of the year with it too. The funny thing is that I sent her a letter the day before, so they kinda pasted on the way.

3 December 1998
I'm having a happy day today. I've been spoken-for for three months and three days. I've got whole days of free time (well until three in the afternoon) and I have lots of friends.
I started making a virtual christmas card for those of my friends with internet connections last night, and it isn't looking too shabby, just a bit sparse and plain. But I'll work on it before I send people the url.
I had to go into University today and picked up my reinrollment (?spelling?) pack, they were supposed to be sent out but the uni computer had screwed up my address. I think I'm gonna do a double degree chemistry/english since I doubt I'll get into pharmacy.
Then I went to town and bought something I wanted, got too much change, went back and gave the extra change back to the lady in the shop, got really guilty about buying myself stuff when I should be buying christmas presents and then came home.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should keep the thing for myself or give it to someone else for christmas. The midget would like it, and Nina (well, her real name is Natasha, but the story is long and ends in "Bye George") would appreciate it. But I WANT IT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, buh-bye for now.

4 December 1998
I moved my fortunecity site this morning to here and scored myself some space with talkcity here. I'll just warn you I typed those links in so they might not work. but I'll test them soon so you prolly don't need to worry.
I got a great big envelope in the mail today with DO NOT OPEN TILL YOUR BIRTHDAY on it from Tina. And my birthday is so far away, I'm not sure I'll make it. Nine whole days.
Anyway, buh-bye

5 December 1998
I've had a bad morning. I watched last night's Xena, and they killed Gabby :~(. And then they made a crude joke about it in the credits.
Then just to make matters worse I got my exam results:

I failed BIOC so I'll never be a drug dealer :o(
So sympathy emails please.
I also hate the hair cut I got yesterday.
I'm going to go sulk, buh-bye

7 December 1998
Yesturday I sneezed and my lip split, blood running down my chin so I bought a chap-stick. Now I smell like strawberry shortcake. I'm an '80s lil girls doll :(.
I went to uni to get some course advice, but I just got told completely different stuff. Everyone was helpful, but the chemistry woman was a little forceful and the english woman was a flake.

9 December 1998
I have an allergy and I'm all blocked up :^(. So when I talk it sounds rather pitiful. I am also fat and pimply. I bought a 1 kilo bag of lollies, last sunday, for my birthday party. And I got depressed and have eaten them already so I'll have to buy more just before my party on saturday. Well I have to go to uni and have people try to confuse me with weird course plans again
Buh-bye
I just got back from Uni where the woman at the careers advisory was really helpful and has helped me select papers so I can choose at the end of next year whether I want to do a BSc in three years or stay longer and do a double degree BSc:Chem/BA:English.

10 December 1998
I got my first two birthday presents today, I got chocolates from Carl and a soft toy frog from my Aunt (actually first cousin once removed) Jenny. Soft toys are the greatest. I guess I really got Tina's present first, but I'm not allowed to open it till sunday :^(.
I also set up my
IHUG homepage with my school testimonial on it.

11 December 1998
I'm stuck home babysitting my sick brother while I should be getting things ready for my party. Which means tomorrow is going to be a tad rushed for me. Which is annoying coz i wanted to spend some quiet time with my latest shag (darn, I just can't sound vulgar and white trash no matter how hard I try). I guess I just wasn't meant to be a bogan or miscellaneous other white trash personage.
I am in a really weird mood today, even for me. And my o key keeps sticking so i have to keep going back and fixing things (ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) well that's life I guess.
I have almost got my first proper page for my fortunecity sute finished, wahoo. FrontPage just makes it nice and easy to do.
Why
Why
Why
Okay,luv ya, buh-bye

I'm back again. And supa-happy.
Nina sent me my birthday present and I couldn't wait to open it so I did. THE CASS ELLIOT COLLECTION :o) :o) :o) I am so happy.
If she wasn't already one of my best-est friends I'd make her one now. So here's me writing this in while I listen to CASS ELLIOT. Joy. :o). She also gave me a cassette of REPUBLICA. Wahoo.
Now I just get to feel guilty about how crappy the present I gave her was. Well the christmas present I have for her is better but still doesn't compete with THE CASS ELLIOT COLLECTION.
I can just hope she likes my meagre gift simply because its from me

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I just worked out that I had a 66.875% average mark at uni this year. That's only a B-, but still, if my BIOC mark had been one higher (ie a pass) I probably would have got into pharmacy.
The universe hates me.
