Pause

I've noticed that so many of my friends have been stressed out lately, and not taking the time out to enjoy themselves. It worries me to see some of them who used to be so bright and happy, so depressed and down all the time about work, relationships and other issues. I feel so helpless not being able to make things a bit peachier for them.

I want to see more of my friends to go to museums and random shows, and not care if things do not turn out to be totally super fun. I just want individuals to go-go-go and not care at all for a while, not stress, not be in a hurry. Things progress just fine if you enjoy it along the way. It is not a rule that you are not allowed to enjoy yourself and i am concerned of people living life like that is the case.

Dirty?

On the emails yesterday afternoon...

Me: What are you doing on the weekend?
Male friend who shall remain nameless: Going to xxxxxxxxx
Me: What for?
MFWSRN: Just a break!
Me: You and xxxx? Oh, dirty weekend. Hee ;p
MFWSRN: Not a dirty weekend ... a romantic one
Me: uh huh...whatever you want to call it ;p
MFWSRN: Hahahaa .... seriously!!! ..... I don't know what you are talking about .. you might want to elaborate please?
Me: What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about when I say a dirty weekend?!
MFWSRN: Please explain ... you mean we will be bush walking and get dirty??

Bwhahahahahaha.

Excuse me while I pick myself off the floor.

He was serious too, but after I sent some links to the GTA San Andreas hack he eventually got it. I was taken aback, I thought the majority of my guy friends only had sex on the brain.

Please explain

Australian Idol 3 has just started tonight and all I have to stay is WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I don't understand why people who can't sing audition for this show. I know some people want their 15 seconds of fame, but dude, must you make my ears bleed?

I'd love to be on TV strutting my stuff, I have secret fantasies of being a pop star as I prance around my room in my underwear singing into my brush, but I have ears and can hear how bad I sound.

Don't some of these people realise that they suck big time?

Mark bought me a Lumpy! He's soooo big and cuddly and cuteeeeeee to the max.

Hee! Oversized stuffed toys make me happy.

Beer

Damn, this is ad cracks me up.

Patts always do rad ads for Carlton Draught. The canoe campaign was gold, this is also quite fun.

My only gripe is the way they've executed it. I'm mean, what's the point of putting up an ad that is intended to be a viral piece that has so many obstacles such as secure site warnings and random applets, to actaully see it. Why can't they just put up an mpeg? Or make it a flash video if they wanted it full screen?

Angry

I've noticed that I've become a very, very angry woman lately.

Things shit me so much easier these days, and I rarely go 15 minutes without getting angry and snarky at something or someone.

The rain that came last week? Hurray for mother nature for blessing us with rain, but did she really have to flood certain towns and make people loose their homes?

The Shane Warne saga? Who gives a fuck; there are more newsworthy stories out there.

The skanky 18 year olds at the bar last Friday night, for fuck's sake have some more self respect and not let older, perverted men feel you up in public. I didn’t need to see his hands working their um, magic, down south through your pants.

The protestors for the workplace reforms? Yes, the fact the government has control of both houses of Parliament and now has the power to introduce their harsh and completely unfair laws on those people who deserve the right to fair workplace relations is fucked but damn, YOU ALL HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AT THE ELECTION. YOU REMEMBER THAT OPPORTUNITY YOU HAD TO EXERCISE YOUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS? WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU ALL WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO PREVENT THE HOWARD GOVERNMENT COMING BACK TO POWER? LABOR GOT WHOPPED; DID YOU ALL THINK IT WAS A LABOR RUMOR THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS GOING TO DO THIS?

Perhaps it's the stress at work that has made me more highly strung and riled up than usual; there are only so many stupid questions I can answer and only so many stupid requests that I can entertain from stupid people day after day before I get driven over the edge.

The other day I chucked the biggest tanty over one of my projects that I ended up sitting on the floor of our studio for 10 minutes to cool down otherwise I would have gone postal over the phone.

And this morning I was ready to slap the man sitting next to me for not answering his mobile while it was ringing incessantly with the most stupid ringtone in the world. Instead of answering it he let it ring out. I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO AVOID TALKING TO SOMEONE THERE IS AN OPTION TO FUCKING SEND THE CALL TO VOICEMAIL BY PRESSING A BUTTON OR ALTERNATIVELY YOU COULD PUT THE PHONE ON FUCKING SILENT AND SAVE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE BUS THE ANNOYANCE OF HAVING TO PUT UP WITH YOUR RETARDED RINGTONE.

Ahhh, that felt good.

I think I need a holiday.
