020601 » stir crazy

listening to | placebo \ black market music
feeling | raaaaaaaaaandy baby, yeah! (could have something to do with the music i'm listening to)

6.30pm

it looks like i am going to melbourne in september! woohoo! even better is the fact that my uni is going to pay for me to go! *dances*

i signed up as a member of one of the two teams the
chemical engineering department at uni is sending to a conference in september. at the moment there are about 35 or so of us going, but some people are sure to drop out later on. we are all looking at this as a great opportunity for a four day, university funded piss up. the idea of us all going to the casino on the first night and each gambling a required amount of $$$ has already been tossed up. any winnings then go to the 'beer fund.' the university will decide if they are going to fly us down once they know how many of us are definitely going. if there are too many of us, then it looks like a road trip may be the go. i'm kinda hoping we have to drive. road trips are tops!

to qualify to go to the conference we have to design and build a small car that runs on a chemical reaction. my group's idea is to power the car's motor using an electrolytic cell with a stop switch that also utilises another chemical reaction. all we know is that our car will have to complete a course of somewhere between 15 and 30m. thus, there must be some sort of provision made to enable us to adjust how far the car goes.

i can see the competition is going to be a real challenge, especially considering how busy i will be next semester, but i will do anything for a 4 day trip to melbourne with a large group of fellow pissereds. i can only imagine the hijinks that will be had. *giggles at the thought*


i think i am going stir crazy or insane or something. once again, the proof lies with msn:

specialK: oi bitch
specialK: get over here with my beer
specialK: *cries* talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeee... this is not good for my needing to feel loved complex!
specialK: hey bitch, are you going to make me go over there and slap you?
specialK: NICK!
specialK: stop ignoring meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
specialK: *sobs*
specialK: *lavish attention on moi!*
specialK: *walks away sullenly, pouting*
specialK: *remorseful glance over the right shoulder*
specialK: *bows head and keeps walking*

this conversation with myself occurred over a space of about 10 minutes. i was then disconnected and got a message that none of the above had in fact been delivered to nick. he wasn't ignoring me, it was msn being a biatch.

specialK: omg msn sux
specialK: i just wrote all this stuff and then i got dissed and i come back and it says like the last 10 mins of stuff was not delivered!
specialK: sdflknaslf
superboi nicky: eeeeeeeek
specialK: i thought you were being a bitch and ignoring me
specialK: it was all quite funny actually, but the moment has passed...
superboi nicky: hehehe no way
specialK: but can you still bring me a beer, bitch? and the remote too while you are there.
specialK: lol
specialK: *chuckles to herself*
specialK: im so funny
specialK: and i am going to maintain the sullen look on my face
specialK: just because i dont do it often enough
superboi nicky: lol riiiiiiight
specialK: haha seee if msn wasn't such a bitch you would know what i was talking about
specialK: but sadly....
specialK: my humour has been lost on everyone but myself
specialK: *weird mood* can you tell?
superboi nicky: hehhehe
specialK: hmmm its no fun now that i can't call you a bitch and tell you to fetch me beer
specialK: it was more fun when i actually thought you were ignoring me
superboi nicky: hahahhahaha

i know what you are thinking (other than the fact that i am a funny bugger :P) - "that nick guy doesn't talk much." he was probably looking at porn at the time, so that's why this appears to be the case. i swear he is usually capable of a proper 2-way conversation. (:P nick)

actually, i think that whole conversation (?) occured out of tiredness. another friend asked me if i was drunk, but i swear i did not imbibe any alcohol last night. yeah, tiredness is the reason. i was so tired that i stayed up on the internet until almost 3am, all the while thinking that i didn't have to be at work until 11am. it wasn't until i went to set my alarm that i realised i had to in fact be at work at 9am. ouch. wasn't happy bout that.


speaking of alcohol, i have been having many cravings for wine lately. a couple of times i have indulged in a bottle of wine to myself while i sit alone in my room. i have now, however, decided this is sad and pathetic and shall occur no longer. upon telling a friend of my lone drinking efforts, he said, "kate, the only other person i know who drinks alone like that is ben."

this freaked me out, for as much as i love benny, i trully do not want to end up with liver problems.

so i have decided to no longer drink alone and to only get pissed in public! :D


omg! we had the worst customer in the store today!! (for those who do not know, i work in a women's clothing store. one of those australia wide chain type ones) it was this old (read: slow) guy who always comes to our store to buy uniforms for the girls who work for him. he is really, really annoying.

every time he comes in to find a uniform he always picks something we have had in for ages and is really hard to source from other stores. then he changes his mind about 5 times, only to decide he liked the original one best. my boss actually said to him on thursday "i hope you aren't going to return these" after he purchased a number of suede shirts. he did. i had to deal with him yesterday.

then today, he came in again. i deliberately avoided him and made our junior, courtney, deal with him. she was with him for over an hour! meanwhile, we had a million people in the shop, but did he care? hell no! he just kept on being indecisive and demanding we try to find him shirts that we knew would be almost impossible to find (he asked courtney to ring shops in queensland, but soon decided that wasn't such a crash hot idea when i informed him he would have to pick them up himself as they were not allowed to transfer to us). but what are you supposed to do when the customer is always right? i told courtney she should have just point blank told him that it would be impossible to find the things he was after and that she could not justify spending money on phone calls for him for that reason.

*argh*

i declare this man as usually-pleasant-and-helpful-shop-assistant enemy #1, and as such i refuse to deal with him again. go and buy your uniforms somewhere else, buddy! we don't need you and your unreasonable demands!


i reorganised all my cd's yesterday. well, i started on thursday and finished yesterday. i was unable to complete the task on thursday as i ran out of cd stackers and had 150 cds with no home. you should have seen me trying to carry 3 60 cd holder thingies through a crowded shopping center. i looked like a right doofus, bumping into stuff everywhere.

now, i know i teased nick about his organisational skills when it comes to cd storage, but i am no where near as much of a pedant as he is, so it is all cool and i have not actually succumbed to his rigidly evil ways. i only did it because i found i was often losing cds and i never knew where to find most cds when i went to play one. honestly.

so, they are arranged alphabetically by band name in 9 60 cd holder thingies. my bedroom looks like a giant shrine to cd's. too bad when they become obsolete... i will then own i giant pile of useless crap.


specialK quote of the day: i have contemplated chaining up my laptop such that i cannot use it, but that would just make me horny and i would then have to attempt to seduce it.

that was me on needing to ween myself from the internet in order to start doing some study for my exams.

ok, gotta go! big brother is on!

days since my last cigarette: 41
