29 July 1999

I'm going away for the weekend. Yay. I haven't been out of dunedin in AGES. It will be a nice break from the city. And it'll give me a chance to catch up with Oli.
And it will be a nice long break from my mother. YAY.
I finished my letter to Per today, and posted it to Robin at the Dunedin North post shop. So nine pages of dodgy asain stationary are on their way to Norway.
Now I am going to write to my cousins in Palmerston North. Since I bearly remember their names.
Ummm, can't think of anything to say. Later. I'm off to play Alpha Centauri, coz I have been giving an extra faction.

27 July 1999

I watched "In and Out" last night. And it sucks. It could have been so good, but instead it just fed a ridiculous stereotype. he should have married her and lived happily ever after pumping out lots of children. He SO shouldn't have been gay. It was just wrong.
This morning I had a really long, really hot shower and was quarter of an hour late for Chem204.
I'm on page 6 of a letter to Per. though the first four pages are on stationary that doesn't fit much writing. And I doubt it will get much longer coz I am running out of things I think he might possibly care about. Because I don't really know him that well anymore. Though admittedly i have probably changed more in the time than he has. I just have no idea what things to write about. As much as i miss him, I have no idea what to say.
My other classes where all quite usual. My poetry class hated my poem for this week, but thats okay, coz it wasn't that good and they had completely missed all the irony, and the major metaphor.
EEEEKKKKK, there is a topless guy on Guiness Records Primetime with a MULLET. NO, STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And all the poems I have written to habd in this thursday are really sexual. Which i think is a tragic sign of how desperate I'm getting.
I had a whole loaf of vienna cheese and bacon for lunch. I felt so sick. But I did have it at a nice warm flat while hasselling a Tuatapere boy, so it was okay. Anyone from Tuatapere deserves to be hassled.
Anyways, later. Any there should only be four more entries in here. YAY.
Actually I have something else to complain, there are too many "SuperGran"s on ICQ. it's my latest nick, and there are like 20 with the same nick listed on ICQs whitepages. Darn.

26 July 1999

Yesterday Per rang jus when i was about to got out. Talk about timing. We talked for a while, but we haven't talked in so long I had no idea what to say to him. Which made it weird. So much has happened in the time, but nothing seemed important enough to actually tell him. So today I bought LOTS of dodgy asain writing paper, and I'll write him a big arse letter. Though it was REALLY nice to hear from him, and know that he was still alive.
After that I went to "the crouquet game" at the gardens. the girl playing the queen of hearts was very regal. And Fiona made a great Debbie the exectutioners assistant.
then after talking to Nina for a while I came home to discover I now lived in a house with no hot water cylinder. Which ment I had to live without a shower this morning (eeeeeeeewwwwwww).
But now it is going again, the electrician came while I was at Uni, and i now have a shiny new ripple control :o).
Uni was fun too. Anyways, Later.

25 July 1999

Last nights ball was great. I was the sleaze of the dance floor. It was a case of women beware, I'm on the loose and dirty dancing. It was lots of fun.
Actually weird thing, there were only about three guys at the whole thing I thought were even mildly attractive. I'm not sure if that is a nasty commentary about how ugly polytech students are, or if it just means I'm getting fussier in my old age. Though there were so very foxy ladys *rouwl*.
I have the sneezes :o(
Per didn't ring :o(
I have glitter in my scalp :o\
Who am I kidding, GLITTER, YAY :o)
Well this page only has a few days left in it. Coz it is getting BIG. I'm also putting the new page onto a different server. But don't worry, I'll hyperlink it all up. Hyper :o). I am just not liking the Yahoo! Geocities members are, so I'm just plain gonna avoid it altogether.
Which means this site is going to get quite stagnant. But I'll be making up for it with my IHUG page, which I am beginning to put some actual work into. Anyway I have run oot (I'm being canadian :o)) of things to say. Bye.

24 July 1999

Last night I went to "Run Lola Run" (Lola Rennt), which is an epically great german flick. Lola is one of the greatest movie heroines I have seen in a VERY long time. So for those of you in dunedin who read this in time to go to it at the film festival you should, it is a really great movie. It's lots of fun. If it was in english it would be doing really well at Hoyts and everyone would be going to see it.
I have been up all morning waiting for Per to ring back, and he hasn't :o(. Hopefully he'll ring later today. Or maybe he is going to ring on his Saturday over in Norway.
I just hope he doesn't ring while I am at the polytech masquerade ball tonite. Actually the ball looks like lots of fun. And my mask is great :o).
later.
i watched "Bound", which turned out to be a very fun movies, on video and then was about to play a bit of Diablo before my mother decided I had to babysit her CD writer while she went out. JOY.
Then she got back and I decided to start getting my stuff ready for the ball. When I asked her where my black socks were the stupid witch started spouting off some dillusion about having put three pairs in my washing pile just the other day. I have no idea what she is on, but I have a feeling it would fetch a good price on the street. Dillusional wench.
So now I'm ultra grumpy. Joyful, joyful.
And it doesn't look like Per is going to ring today. Or if he does it will be while I'm at the ball.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

23 July 1999

I've been being paranoid for the last two days. WHY DID PER RING????? He doesn't reply to email, he doesn't write back to letters, but he rings and talks to my mother?!?!?!?!?!?
I went shopping this morning. I spent WAY TOO MUCH. I got a red feather mask for the ball I am going to, and some hologram glitter and red glitter stars. I am SO going to be the belle of the ball. lol.
I also got a couple of castle lego sets. Since castle lego isn't being released here anymore :o(.
Well I have stuff to do. Bye.

21 July 1999

Today I went into uni at nine for a class that turn out to be cancelled. So then I was stuck at uni for two hours with nothing to do. During this time Per, an exchange student who ended up one of my closest ever friends, rang from Norway. So I missed it :o(. Talk about sucky. OMG, I just used "sucky" in a sentence. Someone slay me, please.
I have a sticker on that says "Sexist" and another reading "Degrading to women". I got them because Midget was on the women's week stall at the university union and there was a big poster reading "a woman's place is in the movement" so i asked why they had spelt kitchen wrong. Coz Kitchen does not have any m's or o's or v's in it.
So once again I get my just desserts.
Then I came home and cut back the rose bushes, and got cuts all up and down my hands and pulled the muscle in front of my right thumb. IT HURTS.
Anyway, must go. Bye.

20 July 1999

Today was fun. I did my ankle in and spent most of the day limping. I also helped the Woman's group be sitting at their stall for a while at lunch time. Then i hobbled to the commerce building for ENGL217, to find it had be moved to Burns. When was on my way to burns I slipped and knocked it and got movement back in it. So then I could walk again. And by the end of english it didn't even hurt that much. Though it still hurts. I really should learn to notdislocate my little crappy ankle bones.
Anyway, i have very little to say today. So bye.

18 July 1999

Kundun was a great movie. I didn't even realiose how long it had been till someone pointed it out afterward.
On friday night I went to "Singing in the rain" at the red lecture theatre. I can see why it has been called the fourth greatest movie ever, with Gene Kelly *drool* and Debbie Reynolds *double drool*. It is SO much fun. I really have to score a copy for me personal video collection. It is one of those movies I'd never get sick of, like "Elvira, mistress of the Dark".
Last night I watched a Drag competition, which was scarey/tragic. And danced lots. Mostly with Midget, who was all dolled up because she had had the classics ball right before.
Today I have done pratically nothing. Yay for pratically nothing. Oh, and I watched Kenneth Brannaghs "Hamlet" yesterday. And it was LONG.
Well, bye for now. I'm off to put baby pics on my Homestead page.

15 July 1999

After spend yesterday afternoon doing heavy manual labour, trimming bushes, landscaping, moving a tree. I eventually managed to get the poem done for ENGL217.
Todays morning classes were uneventful. But then this afternoon I went to my ENGL217 class and everyone liked my poem. But then they decided to interperate it. And lets just say the song quote above suits well.
Well I have to get ready and have tea in time to go to Kundun.
Bye.

14 July 1999

Yesterday i had lunch with a friend of mine, Peter (not the mcdonalds one - the accounting one *tries not to laugh - acounting*). While we were having lunch me ex walked past and we exchanged pleasantries. Then for the next half hour Peter only stopped hasseling me about my ex to breath. OH, so much fun for ME. Being called a craddle-snatcher is not as much fun as it sounds. Especially when there was only 1 year 1 month and 18 days difference in age.
After yesterdays lunch I had my first poetry writing class (ENGL217), and it doesn't look anywhere near as much fun as I had hoped it would be. About half the class have egos so big I'm surprised they can fit into the commerce building. And they are all SO MUCH more talented and skilled with words than me. I think that wrote off all the meager validation I felt when I learned I had got into the course. That is the other bad thing about it, it's in the commerce building (for those of you that aren't from dunedin, the commerce building is a public toilet that was feed some of James's Giant Peach, and it grew. Big and ugly in blue tiles). Also I have homework due for it tomorrow. :o(.
So last night I tidied and vacuumed my room until it sparkled (with the help of some gold glitter and stars).
Todays Chemistry was uneventful, though I have Dr Russell Frew taking my Environmental Chemistry lectures at the moment, and he is SO timid. I think he is scared of all us students.
I got home today to find an email from an old friend saying that I had told her ex's new girlfriend something I know absolutely nothing about.
How much fun is that. Anyway I have an assignment to do. LATER.

12 July 1999

T'was back to the grindstone today. I went in at about 8:30 incase I had a 9.00 start, but I didn't so I stuffed around flirting at a norwegian health sci student (yes I know i'm tragic) until 11, when I had chemistry. Then after lunch (where I had WAY TOO MUCH caffine and chocolate, getting scarily hyper) I had a theatre studies improvisation class. I looks like the paper will be LOTS of fun. Even if the one person I had an instant lust responce to is spoken for.
Tomorrow I start at 11, which is VERY cool. It lets me have a REALLY lazy start to the day. Anyway, things to see, people to do.

11 July 1999

I had a nice relaxed day yesterday, I didn't leave the house. I even managed to miss the rugby completely :o). I was in no mood for BLACK OUT Day. I couldn't care less about rugby if I tried.
I today wasn't all that much better. I love sloth. I watched "Air Force One" on video and worked on an NPC for Nightbane that I have been making for AGES. And did LOTS of laundry. *says in cheesey mid-american white-trash girl voice* "Hoi, this is Matthew's laundrette, how may I help you?".
Anyways, I have a dream. A dream where all mean live together in freedom. :oÞ. Actually, my dream is about having a internet service provider that doesn't hate me. Geocities had been tolerable, but since it merged with Yahoo! it has just got annoying. So hopefully by the end of this month I'll have everingthing I need a my IHUG page, so I can leave this one to rot. Then this page can sit here, unchanged and unloved forever. MUHahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa. (I was maniacally laughing, much).
Later.

10 July 1999

"Never been kissed" is a GREAT movie. Really funny and really soppy, and has a heroine character who seems like she could spell her own name, which is rare in hollywood.
My MMSYSTEM004 driver thingee bob is screwed, my sounds aren't working, I can't play any of my great games coz this computer is USELESS.
I'm gonna sulk at it now. Anyway I'm not in the mood to write. Later.

8 July 1999

Yesterday morning I went into uni to finally sort out my subjects and ound out that I didn't actually have to change anything. YAY. *sings in dodgy french accent* "thank 'eavens for open labs, for open labs get better every day.......".
Then I met up with Andy and Gnomey (Naomi, but with her height Gnomey just seems more appropriate) and, after farewelling Jules, went to see Austin Powers 2 : The Spy That Shagged Me. Which is a very enjoyable film. Though the song "Beautiful Stranger" that Madonna made for it has some tragic parrallels with my life. Not that I have ever fallen into infatuation with a complete stranger before or anything. Much.
Anyway after not 'putering all yesterday I'm off to play games till Midget rings.
Will Midget didn't ring so I rang her this avo. And now have to go to the movies with her tonite. But it is a movie I want to see, "Never been kissed". Drew Barrymore is a babe.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWw.
My cat is standing on my shoulder trying to make me pay attention to her, and clawing my neck. The d*rn cat.
I think I shall wear my bell necklace tonite, just to make sure I don't catch any birds :oÞ. (Okay, so the joke is Andy's, but it is still almost funny). Though it will be my little bell necklace, coz I'm saving the big bell for the next time I go dancing. Anyways, I should go get ready to meet midget. Toodles.

6 July 1999

I spent all day today in town. I went in this morning to do course approval to discover it wasn't starting till two. So I wandered about town spending money for a few hours. Planet Pancake has yummy food.
After spend WAY too much money (I got a cow bell from trade aid) I finally got to course approval, not long after it opened. Then I just got stuffed around lots. So I have to go back tomorrow and sort out my papers, coz I have a HUGE timetable clash. And I have to fix it with another 200 level science paper, since if I use a first year paper or an arts paper then I will have to do a double degree, and I am trying to keep my options open. I might have to do CLTE204, Dress and Society. It will count still, and it seems interesting - if utterly pointless. Actually I can't quite see how it is a BSc paper, but it is and that is what matters.
Well I have tonite to think about it and I go in tomorrow and try and sort things.
Well I'm off to listen to my new Gloria Gaynor album and play Alpha Centauri. Later.

5 July 1999

I hate Yahoo!-Geocities. It has given me back my old crappy username, and I ain't happy 'bout it.
Gang Show finished on Saturday night, and the after party was great. Though the balls of my feet ached something cronic afterwards though.
IT IS SOOOOOOO COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm shivering while I type. And making lots of typos to fix. My house should be warmer, but then it is winter and there is no heating turned on in the whole house.
Tomorrow I have to go into uni and organise my papers for next semester. As at the moment I have a rather significant time table clash.
Oh, my marks for the semester were: CHEM201 53%; CHEM202 68%; ENGL121 68%; THEA101 68%. All those 68's are kinda creepy though. GRRRR, my ex got an A- average, and is gloating.
