going shopping 2night and out for dinner with my sister and mum. going to the JUKE JOINT for dinner! its like my fav 50's diner of all time! been planning my sisters hens night like cah-razy. 

lmao.. here is a convo i had with Nikki.. i love her to bits.. she is so smart and well read, but then has blonde moments.. she is fkn awesome!



Nikki:  hey.. here's my new house number.. its going to be put on 2moro.

Me: Awesome. i will be drunk dialing you at 4am every sat/sun

Nikki: hahahaha. but seriously dont. 

Me: lol. i was jk...it will be 3am. im asleep by 4. 

so i finally almost completed (as in writing it) my before im 30 list.. and it kinda turned into a to-do this year list. but i think im okay with that.. lol

( LIST BELOW THE CUT... )

**Note** some of the items were on the list from the start of the year...i have added quiet a few since then.  any suggestions to the list are much appreciated too :)

 sometimes i just feel so gah! about everything. 

im sick of people not telling me things. im sick of being called names by my own mother! im sick of having to do ALL the housework around the house! im sick of being called from the back of the house to the front because my mother wants a drink, even though my sister or dad are sitting in the same room as her! im sick of being under appreciated by my friends. im sick of being treated second rate because there is always someone who is better than me! im sick of not getting a job because on paper im awesome, but when they look at me they automatically give me 'that' look, the look that says 'no way' before i can even shake their hand to introduce myself. 

im generally a pretty positive person, but right now im not feeling it! i just wanna pack up all my junk, and move to the middle of the outback. away from all this shit! 

im just ranting because like me, my life sucks at the moment....

**im not saying all my friends under appreciate me, but like i said. im just feeling gah at the mo

 posting for the sake of posting..

sisters kitchen tea 2moro.. so been running around like crazy.. been pulling if favours people owe me just so it can all be pulled together..

i bought her kitchen tea gift today aswel (steamer pots) man they are so expensive for what they are! i also bought a plate set for my friends engagement.. it was last night, and i feel super bad, cause i kinda fell asleep around 3pm, and woke up at 8, feeling like crap.. so i msg'd i wasnt coming.. but i still feel like i let them down.. my gift makes me feel slightly less guilty...but not by much!

plus i just got paid, and now only have $50 to my name, my phone bill is due.. and yea.. im totally strapped cash wise.. and did i mention feb is the major birthday month of the year? 

gah i need to get an awesome job!

PLUS!! no new 30rock this week.. so super sucky!

 well today is Australia Day (incase you couldn't tell from my oh-so-blatant subject line). its suppose to be the most laid back bludgiest day of the year! but somehow I always find myself working to prep food etc, more-so than i do for Christmas.. what the what!?
im just glad that the day is kinda almost over! cant wait for the fire works!!

btw i have NOT had a drink yet today! i repeat NOT!!! how un-patriotic of me! i swear I will have a drink with dinner! cross my heart!

peace out \m/

 wow.. check me out with another post! 

life=boring at the moment.. my sister is getting married on the 6th March, so everything is about her..which is cool..i totally get it! but i swear..if anyone mentions the wedding at my brothers and mine birthday party, im gonna spaz attack! 

I spent about 4hrs in the kitchen today..i cooked so much awesome for the BBQ 2moro.. *what BBQ you say? only Australia Day BBQ* lmao. its the BBQ of all BBQ's! a day to celebrate what truly is australian!
my feet are now killing me though.. lol.. but bonus is i dont have to help clean up after dinner tonight (which is what everyone else is doing now) because i managed to do dinner aswel :P

man i know i might sound un-australian, but i cant wait for the tennis to be OH-VER

 hey guys! i know i haven't updated in a LONG LONG LONG time... but here I am.. hopefully back and more active than before!

so what's happened since I last saw you guys.. 

( Click for the awesome! )

So.. as i want to do my "before im 30" list.. does anyone have any suggestions??

So I saw HP last night

( spoilerish but not really.. )
( spoilerish but not really.. )

Having a Planning 'party' on Sat night. going to my friend Shell's, and she going to make us American style food(basically burgers and chips.. she isn't that much of a cook..lol) to eat whilst planning our awesome trip, which is officially called usa2010(twenty ten)

In a few weeks we are going to purchase our plane tickets.. im so excited! Shell keeps sending me msg's saying things like "you were just thinking about the trip weren't you?"(and i totally was) and thinking of awesome songs for our driving play-list.


oh and cause i spoke about HP, and it branches into movies....obviously.. If you haven't seen The Proposal..DO IT!!! SEE IT NOW! so awesome, so funnily hil-ari-ous! and also The Hangover.. not as good as The Proposal, but its a movie that you have to see at the cinemas for it to be funny.. you know the movies that you watch at home that arent as good as at the cinemas.. still worth seeing though.

and cause i can, TV.. I've been watching Dollhouse and Chuck. such awesome shows.. i think Chuck is like my second fave tv show (next to 30Rock, and equal with Bones), and Dollhouse.. so awesome.. i would DL eps, but i dont really have time to DL and watch all the shows i want to DL and watch.. *cries*

Because im so infrequent on LJ these days, if you guys have journal entries in which you think i would enjoy, or want to share. please post a link in comments and i will check it out and comment.. i feel like such a bad F-lister :(

hey all.. long time since my last post (again)

been planning my trip to USA for march 2010.. so much involved.. everytime i get somewhere something pushes us back to square 1.. lol.. but im determined..

were planning on driving from west to east coast via the south (perhaps central). visiting touristy places along the way.. anyone have any suggestions of places to go/see?

now moving our trip to America forward by like 1.5yrs. but shortening it substantially. only going for 1-2weeks instead of 6-8 months, but going in Feb.. so only 8 months away :) :) :)

im so excited :) man im going to have to save like crazy though, because being more awesome than vanuatu, means its also more expensive :(  :)

im still on a high :)

wow. haven't posted for AGES!! been real busy with work.  im on 4 programs now, which are very time consuming.. and i miss all my LJ friends (hope your all still out there :D )

ive been so busy @ work, but im loving it! always something fun to do, and even the planning is fun.

oh and hey! yay for office pranks. if you have any good pranks let me know! its a pretty good time for office pranks, and a good way to boost morale (as all our pranks are fairly harmless.. except for that letter that was sent to another co-worker about being fired.. lmao)

whats everyone been up 2? if you think i have missed something on your LJ which is important, link me :) fics, art work, RL stuff. anything :)

<3 Cor-cor

hey guys. i know i havent posted in a while.. (since i started work) i havent even had time to pick up a book.. and i would read a thick 400+ page book in 2-3 days.

what has everyone been up 2? i f i missed a huge post (or even a little one) let me know so i can check it out. i feel so out of the loop guys. hope you are all well :)

hey guys.. just wanted to wish my fellow Aussie's a happy Australia *cough*Invasion*cough* day.

hope you all had a relaxing one.. and dont suffer monday-itis on tuesday (coz that's always a bad sign, and usually requires a week off work :P)

I just went to get my hair cut because its my friends 21st 2night.. and OMG!!! the hairdresser fully ruiend my hair! i have a 2 year olds fringe, that is too short even for a 2 yo.. and the hairdresser obviously didnt understand the concept of layers..
i said to her "your not leaving my fringe like that are you?" she said "no, i just cut it like that because it annoys me"
WTF.. then she left it like that.. so i asked her if she could blend it with my hair/the layers.. and she had NO IDEA what i was talking about.. i fully started to cry..

needless to say, 45 minutes and 30 dollars later, i would have been better off getting my hair cut from a blind person.

im going in for a shower so i can cry some more about this, then hide away from society for the next 6 months.. (yes,, because to make matters worse, my hair grows really really really slow)

so ill prob be around more ofter..

so i havent posted in a while.. so its about time.. lmao..

hope everyone had an awesome holiday :D

i officially started work 2day. its so awesome! way better than what i even hoped it would be. I only do 24hrs/week, but i have to do a course as well so :P busy busy..

well i will post more about it later :) as i am super tired from getting up at 6:45 this morning..lol.

catch you guys round :)
