I saw Bridget Jones's Diary this afternoon with Jasmine and June. Hee! It rocks. I definitely need to see it again sometime soon. I think it's one of those feel good movies that you could see over and over again and not get bored by it.
I love Mr. Darcy.
*swoons*
I have adored Colin Firth since I saw him in the BBC's mini-series of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and seeing him play another Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones's Diary made me adore him even more. Everytime he came onto the screen, almost all the females in the cinema would sigh, heh.
And also a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Cecile! Hope you have an absolutely fabulous day and all your birthday wishes come true.
Bleh, I'm not feeling very well.
Note to self: Do not go walking at 2am in the morning whilst it is raining.
Lately: "It would truly be an amazing experience, kind of like walking into the campus life you see in those television shows and movies....."

It's absolutely freezing out, I'm getting sick and I feel like the Marshmallow Man because I'm sitting here wearing an obscene amount of clothing underneath my pjama's to keep myself warm.
Normal people would ordinarily turn up the heat, but since we have no central heating, and my dad has some insane rule that I cannot have a heater in my room because of my computer, (he reckons I will probably turn the heat up too high and melt the computer, heh) I have to resort to layering on clothes...At least I'm being environmentally friendly by conserving energy.
Ian Thorpe rocks, another gold medal and world record for him tonight. Yay. But seriously, how many records does that boy want to get? I mean really, I think he's got enough now, it's time for other people to get some ;)
It's cool to see someone like him winning all those medals though, someone who has not let fame go to his head. Everytime I've run into him he's always been such a sweet guy. He comes into my work a fair bit- he even bought an espresso machine from us once and sometimes he stays and chats with us all if we're not busy. I also got to meet him a couple of times during the Olympics when I was working with Visa. And he really is tall and really well built, man I'd be freaked if I was standing next to him on the blocks about to dive into the pool.
Just the third day into the new semester at uni and the stress is already starting. We've been given the course outlines and such for my subjects, along with all the due dates for our our exams and assignments. I've got five, yes- that's right, five damn things due in the same week. Three mid-term exams, an interim report for my major marketing assignment and a major mid session essay.
Shoot. Me. Now.
On a lighter note, we went out to dinner for my dad's birthday last night to this really swish seafood restuarant. Even though I'm not a fan of seafood, (but my uni friends have slowly started to convert me) it was actually quite yummy. Anyway, my mum got so drunk. She drank a whole bottle of white wine and passed out on their bed as soon as we got home. Hee! Great example she's setting for me.
Lately: "We came to the conclusion that she must really like listening to the sound of her own voice...."

Don't you hate running out of hot water whilst you're in a shower?
I now only have one leg shaved and the other leg is kinda hairy, it's so annoying...eww...
Ok, so last sentence may have been an overshare of information, oh well...
Tee-hee, these tests are just too amusing...and freakishly true
Who is your dream guy?
Unlike most others, he walks on his own path. He's creative and willing to learn about anything. Music and movies are his favorites. He's kind to everyone. You can feel his inner beauty through his words. He's comfortable among a circle of friends. He's looking for someone to share his hobbies.
The toilet test
2nd stall: You are an efficient person but you always need time to think through issues before taking action. You can be a romantic person but you are too hasty making decisions in love. Generally, you are very cheerful.
Why do you love someone?
You love their personality. Everything they do is beautiful
Present for your friend
You have a tendency to overdo things, but basically you value your friendships highly.
At least now I've found something to help ease my boredom, woo!
Holy Shiznit, this quiz is so true- all except the "seriousness of your love" thing...me flirting? admirers hanging off my arms? behaving seductively? pfft...
Your view on yourself
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of boyfriend you are looking for
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success?
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Do not give up when you have not even started yet! Be courageous!
What are you most afraid of?
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self?
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
It's my dad's birthday on Tuesday and I bought him his present yesterday. It is this funky portable TV with built in radio, it sounds like a weird present to give a man turning forty-nine, but that's what he told me he wanted. I asked him what he's going to use it for and he said it would keep him entertained at work, heh. I swear he is just a big kid- he kept on bugging me yesterday if he could have his present early because he wanted to play with it, I finally gave in just then because he just wouldn't quit it. At least I now know where I get my annoying habit of bugging people continuously from.
A lot of people tell me I look like my dad, that we both have the same chubby cheeks and cheeky smile...I wonder what I can do to loose these chubby cheeks of mine, heh  
I woke up at 5am this morning with the sudden urge to clean my room...4 1/2 hours later it's all spick and span. I never realised how much crap I had accumulated over the last year. I wonder how long it will stay like that though, heh
My room is looking like an absolute shit sty, there is just so much crap shoved and crammed into every available space I can find- I'm surprised that no spiders or other creepy crawlies have also decided to call it home. I was supposed to clean it before winter break was over, but making it look all brand spankingly neat and tidy was not on the top of my agenda. I'm thinking I better clean it now though, because I won't have any room to shove all my new notes, books and crap I'll get given this semester at uni...bleh
Ok, is Hotmail messing with my head? I could have sworn this afternoon when I was checking my Hotmail account the place had a spiffy new layout- it was all different shades of blue and had a more sophisticated look to it. When I checked again two minutes ago it was back to it's old layout...Weird.
Tra la la
*pause*
Bored. Bored. Bored.
I really hate this, I hate having no one to talk to, nothing to read, watch or post about. It's enough to actually make me want to go back to uni already. I get my confirmation of my class allocations tomorrow, I'll be at uni four days a week- I should only be there for three, but I'm picking up an extra subject this semester to lessen the load for next year. Hopefully this semester won't be as shitznitty as last, I really don't want a repeat of all that stress. Maybe I should start reading my text books now or something, heh.
Why won't my blog archive? It says to click the 'archive now' button, but there is no 'archive now' button in the archive section. This is frustrating because I've followed the instructions and such, but it won't. Damn. Well. Archive.
'The West Wing' rocks my world, I could sit all day watching episodes of this show and not be bored to death. I don't understand why Channel 9, in it's apparent infinite *snerk* wisdom, decided to air it at 10:30pm on Tuesday nights. I am not even a huge fan of politics, but the show just has a witty edge to it that makes it good quality TV viewing...and it doesn't hurt that Rob Lowe is sex-ay...rawrrr
Lately: "Perhaps it is the intrigue that is intertwined with all of this that keeps people coming back to the net night after night, byte after byte. Somehow, a few exclamation marks and capital letters are a lot less threatening than a glare or a grimace or a snigger or even just a look of disapproval from someone in real life...."

Finally got my pictures developed from last week and got the chance to scan them, I added them to my latest entry :)
You know how when you say to yourself you will never eat/watch/do something, but against your better judgement you still eat/look at/do it anyway? Well I told myself not to watch the season finale of Dawson's Creek, but after lasting 50 mintues of not watching it, my willpower left and I managed to catch the last 10 minutes of it.
Joey and The Head (I refuse to call it Dawson) kissed...now I need a drink to recover from watching the most traumatising piece of crapola I've seen on television all year.
So no, I haven't fallen off a cliff or anything, although some people said I had gotten kidnapped ;) I've spent the last couple of days hanging out with my friends visiting from the USA and Norway- so it's been a pretty busy and exciting week.
I still can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that I've actually gotten the opportunity to meet them in real life after being friends with them online for such a long time. There was no awkwardness or anything whilst we were all out together, it honestly felt like I was just hanging out with my close real life friends that I've known forever. They're off to Perth now for another ten days before they all head back home, but I don't want them to leave *sniff*. But I guess it's all the more incentive for me to save money so I can go and visit them sometime in the future. I also can't wait to get my pictures developed, some of the shots should be quite amusing- if they're not too incriminating I'll post them ;)
On another note Nicole, whose site I adore, emailed me the other day saying I had posted something she had written on her site without crediting her:
"This site has only one purpose (so far at least), and that is to vent. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. I'm not selling anything here, offering any sort of service, nor am I dedicating my hard work to any undeserving, glorified celebrity. If there is anything this site celebrates, it's me."
I seriously thought I was just using one of those random quotes you find on the net because I had seen it used in so many places already. Now I feel all weird that I had it on my site in the first place, I admire Nicole because not only does she write so eloquently, but she has a very mature and insightful way of writing that makes you wonder why the hell she isn't a journalist or something. I just hope she didn't think that I had blatantly ripped her off or anything. Such is life...
Weeeeeee!!
I meeting some of my friends from FF today. Four of them are from overseas, two are from interstate and the others live in Sydney- it should be good fun! We're meeting at noon on the Opera House steps and I think we're doing the Opera House tour, so I get to play tourist for a day, heh...that reminds me, I need to go and buy some film ;)
Oh and Mrs. Uterus, much thanks for listening to my pleas. Just don't do it again.
Dear Uterus,
Please stop being a bitch and giving me cramps that feel like I'm being split in two. Even drugs won't help subside the pain you're causing me.
Thank you for your consideration,
Larissa xxoo
Lately: "I want them to know that I miss them. That I am thinking about them. Because even in a small way, I could let them know what they are a part of- that they are still a piece of a puzzle in my life..."
(Read complete journal entry)

12. Define summer in one word: uh…hot
13. Last time you rode an airplane: Five months ago…and I hate flying in planes *shudders*
14. Best fireworks display you've seen in person: The closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics, it was just amazing. A couple of us didn’t have to look after the Visa guests after the ceremony, so we headed into Circular Quay, it was packed with people, I’ve never seen so many people in my life crammed into that area. We couldn’t see much, but then we saw these guys climbing up the wall and onto the roof of one of the Ferry Wharfs. So my friends and I, after much struggle, climbed up the wall too, and had the perfect view from up there. We could see the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House perfectly, as well as the AMP Tower behind us. And when the fireworks went off we didn’t know where to look. It was just awesome. We all got the worse bruises on our bodies though when we climbed down from the wall, you couldn’t jump because it was too high, so we had to slide down the wall into the arms of some strange guys, heh.

Like Mika, I'm skipping the "for guys only" part
39. What turns you on in a guy (attitude/traits)? A guy with a witty personality and who can give as good as he gets with sarcastic comments, seriously a guy willing to argue is quite sexy. And a guy smiling, not just any smile, but when he looks at you in the eyes and flashes you a sincere smile.
40. If there is one thing you could change about guys, what would it be? That they would suffer something similar to having periods every month, hee!
41. What do you think makes guys so lovable? It’s the small and sometimes seemingly insignificant things they do for you that make you feel special.
It feels weird being home at this time on a Sunday, I usually start work at 9am in the morning. By this time I'm at work cursing the customers for wanting coffee and counting down the five hours before I finish, heh. This is my first Sunday off in the whole year, hence the reason why it feels so bizarre.
The only reason why I'm not working is because we have a dancing competition this afternoon...after last night I don't feel like dancing at all, I think I'd prefer to stay in bed and sleep.
