It was a few years ago that I realised I had a problem. Being young and foolish, it didn’t take much pressure for me to ‘give it a try’. “You’ll like it,” some people had said... and they were right... and soon enough, I became addicted.
Before I knew it, I’d become a regular user and my life had started to go downhill. Sure the stuff gave me a high when I got a fix, but the time in between each dose of ecstasy was an unbearable lifetime of insatiable craving. I became distracted by thinking about when and how I could get my hands on another fix; so much so that in my last years of high school, when my friends had a free period and I didn’t I would ask them to help me out. I knew I shouldn’t have asked, but I just couldn’t help it... the stuff was just too addictive.
Things didn’t get much better when I started uni. Having no one to talk to about my habit, I had found no way to alleviate it and was, by then, more of a slave to it than ever before. One of the first things I did upon setting foot in Monash was get connected. Somehow, perhaps instinctively, I knew where to look and pretty soon I had gotten myself into ‘the loop’ so to speak, and had managed to make contact with a dealer. The price per dose was pretty steep, but what other choice did I have? It had been too long since I’d last felt that tremendous rush and by that time, if I had them, I would have been fully prepared to give up my babies twice over for a fix.
It’s disgusting I know, but that’s what the stuff will do to you. It lures you in with its false promise and phony sense of wellbeing and once it digs its claws into you, you can’t escape. There’s no cure for it; there’s no miracle rehab, and even if there was, and you came out of the place clean, you wouldn’t stay that way for long.
That’s what bubble tea can do to you, guys. Once it has you hooked, it won’t let you go. So to anyone out there who will listen, please, I beseech you... don’t drink the stuff!!! The next time you feel the urge to get a bubble tea, do yourself a favour and give it to me before you get dragged into the gaping abyss of addiction. It’s already too late for me... so let me sacrifice myself for you... ;)

Hehe hoped you guys enjoyed that!!! ^0^
Catch!!!

hmmmm methinks its time for a quick update since exams and my short spell in hospital has forced me to put off talking about myself for MUCH TOO LONG!!! XP

That said, since i've been preoccupied with exams since about a month before swot vac (which is what I adamantly believe should be the period where you suddenly come to the shocking realisation that you have exams and start trying to cram 13 weeks of information into your head in time for that 9:30am exam for which you're sleep deprived and wishing that you'll catch swine flu on the short trip to Caulfield...) because I had two exams due before the official start of the exam period, there hasn't really be much going on and it makes me sad :(

Roleplaying has been put off for the past few weeks due to people needing to study etc... however, duing the few sessions that we HAVE had, there were many highlights ^-^
To begin with, poor Alex being caught up in a giant frat orgy while we were tailing a drug dealer at the behest of our latest client... XD
It all began when the beautiful and increadibly charming Lady Orchid, owner of the Black Cat strip club hired us through our contact Vladimir for a two day recon job. We were to shadow and learn as much as we could about a certain two drug dealers who had been causing her a bit of business trouble and to report our findings to her. We were told that one of the dealers hung out at an Orc Biker Club and the other hung around a university campus so while Dave and Oliver (our two orcs) headed off to the club, Alex and I (the two youngest members of the party) hit up the university. When we got there, we realised that because of the sheer size of the campus, we wouldn't be able to find him on foot so Alex hacked into the security cameras and after a few minutes we'd tracked him to one of the frat houses. Being a nerdy hacker, Alex decided to stay in the library away from the house full of jocks and surf the Matrix so it was up to me to try to find a way in :S Being unsure of what to expect inside, I decided upon a frontal attack... and knocked on the door :P The door was opened and a guy came out, gave me a once over and said "...sorry we're not interested in buying cookies". That was when I remembered that being an Elf makes me look like I'm 12 years old. So I promptly Astral Projected and collapsed on the front step!!! :D Searching through the room I managed to find our guy talking to one of the frat boys. Apparently they were to have a party that night and because some sorority girls (can't remember which one they were from) were gonn be there, they needed to get a big batch of drugs. Once the tansaction was complete, the dealer left and I returned to my body to find that I'd whacked my head on the front step and had a pounding headache :( Shaking it off, I proceeded to score myself an invite to the party. Apparently highschool girls getting into frat parties to hook up with college guys isn't as uncommon as it perhaps should be and the guy bought my story :D Apparently it was to be a pool party and bathers were optional... :S

So that night I headed back to the frat house to find the party already in full swing. The guy I had spoken to earlier, who turned out to be the president of the fraternity, met me at the door and immediately tried to get me to take one of the pills they'd gotten from the dealer earlier. Being able to Assense, I could see that it was the same drug that Oliver had taken in Europort when he had a very thorough customs check with a male Orc gigolo :P What the drug did was make magically mundane people able to see auras and to feel another person's emotions............. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand therefore enhance sex... -_-; The drug could be damaging to magically active people tho so I tried palming it... and epically failed my Palming roll T-T Luckily our magi group had just Initiated the previous week and my chosen initiate ability was masking which lets you maniputlate your aura to make yourself appear mundane or weaker or stronger than you actually are. So giving the excuse that I wanted to 'save the pill for later', I made my aura 'sparkly' like everyone else's in the room who had taken the drug ^-^ Unfortunately, because Alex isn't magically active, he had to take the drug and ended up losing his virginity to two girls called Christie and Alicia in the midst of the ensuing orgy :P By the end of the night I'd gained a new contact (the frat president) with both connection and loyalty of 6 (which means that he can get me anything I want and that he wouldbe willing to die for me :3)!!! XD

On the second day of tailing our dealers, the university dealer had a mysterious rendez-vous with a cop at a very shady no-tell motel. It turned out that he was actually an undercover cop. I don't think his assignment was made clear ormaybe I jsut wasn't listening when Brendan told us about it :S Anyhoo, at the end of the day everyone returned to the Black Cat to give our report to Lady Orchid. She then decided that the university dealer and his cop friend were too much of a threat to her and hired us to 'take care of them'. Given that we'd all already gained one point of 'Notoriety' during our shenanigans in Europort, we decided that making at least one of the murders look like an accident was probably the best way to go. So Amber, Oliver and I followed him to the Biker Club which appeared to be the hangout for drug dealers and Amber slipped an identical pill to the one I'd pocketed at the party (which she took from Oliver's stash :P) into the guy's drink. After a while, under the influence of the drug he decided that it would be a good idea to go for a joyride. We followed him (me probably riding in the sidecar since i'm the smallest T-T) and i summoned my new air spirit (called 'Windy' ^-^) with the power 'Accident' to take him out. It took a few tries (for a drugged up guy he had excellent control of his bike) but eventually the guy lost control of the bike and skidded under a truck... there wasn't much of him left when he came out the other side :S

As for the female cop, being the only one to have actually seen her, I used Windy's Search power to locate her at her office. Once that was done, Amber and Marcus decided that it would be too risky to kill her at work so they initiated a stakeout and waited for her to come out of the building. When she finally did, Amber followed her to her house and Marcus headed back to our base. Since our plan was for me and Amber to take out the cop, on his way back, Marcus called ahead and I used Windy's Search to find Amber ^-^ Since I was Astral Projecting from our base, I was there in a few seconds and we headed up to the cop's room. Since Amber had cast Invisibility on herself and I could walk through walls, we didn't run into much trouble.
Once outside the room, Amber knocked on the door to make sure we'd gotten the right person but because the room was magically shielded and she's a magical adept, she couln't actually get inside. So as the cop closed the door again, I cast Shattershield and broke through the magical barried before castingmy new spell Powerball at the door and knocking it clean off the hinges and sending the cop flying. Amber jumped in and proceded to use her awesome ninja skills and weapon-like fists to beat the cop to death. It was all over pretty quickly. However, since Katrina wasn't there with us, we didn't get to Sterilize the place... hopefully Amber didn't leave any hair or anything behind :S Anyhoo, since it was nearing the end of the session, we headed back to the Black Cat and got paid ^-^

hmmmm my quick update turned out quite long... oh well!!! ^-^

and that makes it.... Long time no see!!!! OH LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...not -_-;

anyhoo, bad jokes aside, i thought it was high time i updated this bright pink strawberry infested web log of mine... So... what has happened since the last time I blogged? Well... lots of drama, lots of uni work and of course... CAMP!!! XD

So the MCAC camp happened about a week ago. It was a helluvalot of fun, like alot of litle balls of awesome all rolled into one one big ball of awesome that ended in the best possible way EVER!!! XD

To start from the top...

14th April (Day 1)
The day after my birthday I was picked up (not too early) by Owen. We spent a pleasent hour and a half driving up to Golden Valley Lodges on the Mornington Peninsula accompanied by a whole bag full of munchies to make the trip go quicker. The munchies failed at their mission however, when i discovered that Owen didn't actually like raspbarry bullets and I ended up eating most of the bag =/ the munchies were also balanced out by Owen's hatred of Nova 100.3 which meant we were listening to weird/ bad music the entire way there (sorry Owen ;p). Our clashing tastes in music did make for interesting conversation tho ^-^ oh and on the way there we saw some really weird sculptures on the side of the road... there was one that looked like a giant metal power plug... =/

When we got to Golden Valley Lodges, we were met by Phe and Khanat who were already there and they were kind enough to help us move our stuff inside (danke guys!!!) ^-^ We immediately got dibs on the only empty room left and threw our crap around to save beds for Olivehead, Ash and Andrew. I can't exactly remember what happened next because i was immediately distracted by the trampoline outside our room :D Hullos all round then bouncy bounce bounce (u people with ur sick, perverted minds... yeah I know what u were thinking... no use denying it...)!!!! XD

Before long Olivehead arrived and... YAY PRESENTS!!!! XD I was presented with a parcel wrapped in plain brown paper tied with string. I proceeded to untie the string and to carefully open the package without tearing the paper (as is my habit)... but before long I gave in to a severe case of peer pressure and just tore the paper off :P Inside was an awesome looking wooden box with one of those hook-latch thingies that keeps it shut. Inside that I found a handmade card rolled up into a scroll with a picture inside of a polar bear hugging a wolf ^-^ Wolfies being my favourite animal ever (sorry PhePhe!!!), many 'aww's were had ^-^ Aside from the card, the box contained several origami lilies which Olivehead learned to fold for my prezzie (and knowing him, he's probs forgotten how to fold them by now :P) and another small package wrapped in plain cloth. Under the cloth was a layer or bubble wrap... then tissue paper... then inside the tissue paper i found... a silver antique key with a sterling silver chain!!!! ^-^ Although I didn't tell him at the time, and if he ever asks i'll deny everything vehemently (because the Olive's head gets olivey and inflated when u flatter him too much :P), everything about the present was perfect, down to the wrapping. It was really nice to know that the seemingly weird and scatterbrained Pedro had actually taken note and remembered so many random things about me like my (then) eternal search for an awesome-looking antique key, my love of origami (and all tings japanese), my extreme love for awesome antique-looking wooden boxes and that random comment I made in Kikki K (the stationary shop where we were looking at stationary [suprisingly] early in the sumer hols) that i would love to recieve a package wrapped in plain brown paper and tied with string ^-^ nyah~! =(^-w-^)=

At some stage i believe I decided to go and unpack (by which i meant set up my sleeping bag so that i wouldn't have to do it later when i was too tired). I had bags'd (how on earth do u spell that word? o_O) a top bunk so setting up my stuff was slightly more time consuming than if i'd been on the bottom bunk because i spent alot of time trying not to fall off the bed ^-^'
Anyway, as I was unpacking, Damien came into the room and i yelled out an enthusiastc greeting. His response was "THINK FAST!!!" before throwing something green an squishy at me... With my awesomely superior karate/softball reflexes i deflected the lime green missile right into Andrew's face, knocking him backwards onto a bunk across the room :D as it turns out, the missile which i had sent flying off course was in fact a 1UP mushroom and my birthday present from Damien ^-^ of course when I realised this I squealed, leaped off the bed and rushed to reclaim it ^-^ Many, many, MANY, MANY thanks to the Baron for bestowing upon his vassel such a tremendously awesome and huggable gift!!!!! XD

Later in the day, we had some team building activities which were alot of fun ^-^ we did that hand-grabby-human-knot-circle-untangly one with reasonable success :D I was one of the lucky ones who got out of the crowd early and ended up playing kickball on the side :P after that we played dodgeball (I with less success than I'd hoped :P) and tug-of-war :D Methinks Group 2 was highly successful with 2/2 wins :D GO ASIANS +1!!!!!! XD (As a side note, since my group won twice and Olivehead's group only won once, it's clear who wears the pants, am I right? XD ) Poor Olivepip!!! ^-^

After team building games we had spare time until dinner :D I took the opportunity to go swimming since that was the only day warm enough for it. Those who accompanied me had their minds scarred by the sight of Oliver in his mankini (luckily fully dressed underneath) but i think we all recovered in time for dinner. Dinner was literally a sausage fest and then I headed to bed because I was feeling especially tired for some reason... perhaps i should have slept a bit more the night before...

15th April (Day 2)
Whoever said that if u go to bed early u rise early was a silly sausage... to be accurate, he or she was the silliest sausage in all of Rome because I accidentally slept in well past breakfast (even tho i was on breakfast duty... SORRY GUYS!!!!! T-T). Trampolined for a bit, then headed up for lunch :P Many thanks to Leon for my birthday chocolate!!! ^-^ After lunch I partook in a game or three of table tennis, then rediscovered that I suck at archery (although I did manage to hit the board this time :D). This carried me through to dinner time which I actually forgot about so I ended up going to the main dining place in time for dessert ^-^ YAY FOR FAIRY BREAD AND ICECREAM!!!! XD and bless Ash for letting me have his share of fairy bread (although I did have to fight with Oliver to near death for it) :P To make up for attempted fairy bread theft, Oliver got me an icecream while I set up Monopoly ^-^

Monopoly was a fun affair, and got a much better reception than I had expected... we actually ran out of both money and pieces for all interested parties before we'd even started the game... clearly something we will be needing to write to Mattel about... In the end, it was a faceoff between Ryland, Kenny, Seb, Andrew, Ash, Oliver, Anonymous-person-whose-name-i-never-ended-up-learning and myself ^-^
All was going very well until Oliver brought out the vodka :P Now as most people know, I cannot hold my alcohol... so after a few double vodka lemon squashes I was in an extremely happy mood ^-^ may I make a note here that I was NOT slurring at this stage :) This took a turn (for better or for worse... i'm not sure which one) when Seb started talking about fizzy poo and cherry popping :P I'm not sure hw many people are aware, but when Seb and I are within close proximity to each other we can't stop laughing even when there is nothing to laugh about. The end result is that we both spend about an hour in immense pain from laughing too hard and no matter how hard we both try to stop, if we look at each other we just crack up again... in fact, just thinking about laughing at Seb is making me laugh right now... SO!!!! MOVING ON!!!!
Seeing that i even happier than usual, Seb decided to do a little dance while singing "Pop my cherry, Pop, Pop my cherry" over and over and after a while Andrew decided to join in... ther synchronised routine made me laugh so hard that I actually fell out of my chair, rolled around on the floor for a bit before running outside in an attempt to recover. Looking in thru the window and seeing Seb staring at me and laughing made this a long and arduous process (Oliver came out to check on me after i was gone for 5 minutes... methinks he thought i'd laughed myself unconscious) but eventually we were able to continue with the game :P Time passed... Ash decided to purposefully bankrupt himself just so that he could be out of the game because he'd previously stepped away to attend to something and we'd neglected to buy him any property :P He'd also given up on bartending for my safety so in the end i decided it would be a good idea to estimate a double shot of vodka instead of measuring it out properly... :P not so great an idea because it ended more like a triple shot and a half :P
Eventually Andrew won the game by bankrupting Ash, Seb, Oliver and Me and gaining control over all our properties :( By this time, I was so happy that Oliver decided that for my safety I should go to bed... which begs the question how I ended up on the trampoline... =/
Sam came out after a while to put a stop to my antics and I think he was quite firm about it but I can't be sure... =/
So I got off the trampoline and obediently headed to bed... and tripped over my suitcase on the wy... then Oliver tripped over Ash's suitcase... but in the end I ended up safely in bed ^-^

Might I plead that, despite popular belief, I was not smashed... ^-^

16th April (Day 3)
Last day of camp!!! :( Once again I missed breakfast due to sleep in-age =/ on the plus side, I got to take a nice, reasonably hot shower before packing up all my stuff. I discovered that I had alot more stuff to take back than I had brought up but all was well coz i managed to fit everything into either my suitcase or a bag and my mushroom ended up in my lap on the way home ^-^ The trp seemed to fly by because I was entertained by my DS and got to leave the navigating to Oliver and the driving to Owen ^-^
Since I was staying the night at Oliver's room at uni, when we got to uni we just dumped our stuff in a corner and slept until 6 when Owen came back to pick us up for roleplaying. He was sporting a magnificent mushroom-adorned t-shirt and we took my 1UP mushroom along as well ^-^
We had subway for dinner, Oliver and I letting everyone else in our roleplaying group order first while we tried to negotiate the term for splitting a footlong sub... unfortunately we discovered that we have immensely different tastes (e.g. my favourite is the Seafood Sensation and Olivehead hates seafood) so we ended up just getting two six-inch subs and many lols were had at our expense :P

Roleplaying
That night's roleplaying session was lots of fun ^-^ we had just embarked on our second mission after (apparently) extensive planning. First we hi-jacked a food delivery truck which we had lured to an abandoned warehouse. Our ninja and our giant mercenary cyborg took care of one guy while our sniper took out the other with a hollow point bullet. Unfortunately everyone neglected to remember that since some of us would be wearing the uniforms to pose as the delivery men, we didn'twant them to be stained with blood and since the siper had chosen a hollow point bullet, ther were brains and fluids all over the uniforms. Luckily our GM reminded us of this fact and yours truely had the idea to get the other mage who specialised in manipulation spells (as oppoed to being a combat mage like me :3) to cast Sterilize to remove all traces of DNA from the uniforms. After that was done, we had our hacker (Alex) dress up as a delivery guy (most likely on work experience since he's like 18) and drive the truc containing the sniper and the cyborg through the gate of the place we were trying to sneak into. Once again, our plan went up in flames (this time because Dave got a really bad stealth role and gave himself away to the guards at the genetcs lab we were trying to sneak into) :P Then Oliver decided to amost get himself killed by enemy fire because he was high on drugs and, being the only mage with any health spells, I had to cast Heal to save him. After that I astral projected to the roof and took out the two snipers with Mana Bolt before noticing two enemy mages appear out of the roof accompanied by two spirits. I then pissbolted back to the group and healed Dave (and taking 9 points of stun damage; one more and i would have been knocked out and my spirit would have gone back to my body which was back at our base [guarded by a wolf spirit I had summoned ^-^]). Owen then managed to hack into the dog drones and make them turn on our enemy. Amber, our ninja, snuck inside and started to kill everyonefrom the inide. Oliver then blasted his way through the front door, guns blazing and most of our party followed. We proceded to kill and loot everyone in the building (as our mission was to send a message to the world about what the consequences of opposing our client were). Our sniper took a Mana Bolt and suffered a bit of damage, then I got sneak attacked by a mage and suffered way too much damage from another Mana Bolt (coz as an elf mage, my body is piss-weak :P ). Then Owen and I tag-teamed the two mages, Owen transforming into a giant kitty cat (awwwwwwwwwww!!!!! ^-^) and chomping one of the mages while I commanded my other, stronger wolf spirit to chomp the other mage while I Mana Bolted him... suffice to say that Team Kitty and Wolfie were victorious ^-^v unfortuately at this point we ran out of time (it was past midnight) and we had to leave our escape to the next session :(

At this stage I would like to point out the awesome features of my character:

1. She's a 16 year old elf mage who looks 12
2. She has the highest-rating Charisma and Influence skill group in the entire party and is consequently the Face of the group... meaning that all business transactions are negotiated by a 12 year-old who can charm the pants off anybody :3
3. She has wolf ears and a wolf tail which she can wag whe she's happy ^-^
4. She has a Magic rating of 6 and a sorcery level of 4, PLUS her wolf-shamanism and specialisation in Combat magic makes her awesomely kickarse
5. She often forgets that Fireballing automatic weapons is a bad idea :P
6. She now has a small army of uber strong wolfie spirits bound to her to help her in battle :3

Also, despite what Owen says, I am NOT A NERD (and I will deny everything)!!!! XD

That is all...

Tali Out!!!

P.S. I apologise for any misspellings in this entry... i have a crappy keyboard...

Tali (Really) Out!!!

My Darling Blog,

Today was simply such a frightful day. I was happily attending a friend’s 21st when suddenly, out of the blue, a most dreadful person’s girlfriend decided to rear her unsightly mug in my most esteemed presence. Oh but she is so very beastly with the way she keeps her distance because she is aware that I have a tendency to explode in fits of animosity for no apparent reason in her presence, then sob like an infant when she leaves. I mean, I know that I make quite public the fact that I ‘hate her guts’ and that I wish she would ‘just drop dead’, but really, is it quite so necessary to so carefully stay out of my way while maintaining a friendly air? I mean, it’s like I would ever stab her with a knife or anything... oh wait I forgot that I very nearly did once. Oh but really, I can’t be blamed for that; I mean, after all, she pushed me into grabbing that knife and threatening her with it. I mean surely she should have known better than to arrive an hour late to a meeting on Boxing Day with the person who is now her boyfriend just because she wanted to give me some time to talk with him privately. I mean, I was only more than an hour late after badgered him to lie about being stuck on public transport so that he could meet me earlier. But he, being the nasty beast that he is, refused to grant me even that one small request, although he was nice enough to agree to meet me. Would it really have been too much to lie to his “darling” for me? But I digress.

During the entire eight hours of the birthday celebrations I had to “tolerate” her presence. Really, she is so nasty for politely staying away from me the whole day. I simply can’t stand it when she chats quietly to her friends or looks like she’s having a good time. And playing ice-hockey with everyone while I sat on the sidelines playing cards... honestly, what was she thinking? Maybe it’s time for that girl to learn about being a godforsaken emo and be more anti-social for a change. Really she should take a leaf out of my book (‘Pride and Prejudice’ I believe) and engage in a self-induced isolation where she avoids all clubs and societies at university and refuses to chat to people on the club forums. She should learn to spout all her angst on her public blog in hopes of gaining sympathy from her very few readers and play hide and seek whenever she sees me around. Seriously, does that girl have absolutely no sense, what-so-ever? But...moving along...

After ice-skating, we were to take the train to the city. While I sat in the corner moping about a nasty email I received in response to a nasty email which I sent in response to another email about a set of photos of ‘said girlfriend’s’ boyfriend which I posted on Facebook and refused to take down when he said that he was uncomfortable with them being there, she was playing Big 2 with my boyfriend and several other people who were bored with the wait. The nerve of her!!! Really, I have never seen anyone so shamelessly having a good time in my life!!! It was simply appalling!!! Then Alex approached her asking to speak with her and she obliged him, the fiend!!! But that wasn’t the worst part!!! No, sir!!! She actually had a fantastic time at dinner chatting and laughing with her friends. What a disgrace!!!

But I suppose now I don’t really have to worry about her anymore. You see, dearest blog, after I spent the entire day glaring at her from a distance, trying to manipulate people to take my side, sending nasty emails to her boyfriend and generally being unpleasant, on top of which I might add posting nasty things about her on you, sweet blog, deciding that I hated her for an inexplicable reason, pretending to be her friend for most of last semester while trying to manipulate her (now) boyfriend behind her back and borrowing her clothes, shoes and a DVD and returning them all in worse condition than when I’d borrowed them (the list could go on I’m sure), she’s finally decided to give up hope on me and retract the hand of friendship that she’d been keeping extended for the last six months. Oh well, good riddance I suppose... it’s not like I really wanted her around anyway.

On another note, I wonder how people would react if she posted a rather nasty parody of my posts on you, my beloved blog, on her own blog. To be honest, by this stage I think she’s too fed up with everything to care...

-------------

(serious post about Moo's awesome b'day to come later ^-^)

...was a really awesome day!!!! XD

So the story behind St Chad's Day is that about two days ago i mentioned to Oliver that I was really looking forward to the 2nd of March and that he should be expecting a present ^-^ he, being the awesomely silly person that he is panicked and immediately went onto Wikipedia to search the 2nd of March and came to the conclusion that we were celebrating the church of England's St Chad's Day. I immediately told him of my plans to sow broad beans on the Lemon Scented Lawns beneath a radiant Union Jack and of course he didn't believe me and bugged me for the next few days to tell him what was going on. In reality, today is exactly one month since an awesome scavenger hunt which he organised in order to ask me out (more details of scavenger hunt in a later post) :3

So anyway, his constant bugging me to tell him what was going on actually made me believe he'd forgotten (which I actually hoped he had so that i could tease him about it later :P) and so when I arrived at the Flats this morning I wasn't expecting very much at all. So I open the door to his room and... a huge bunch of roses were waiting for my on his chair ^-^ I was so surprised I immediately told him he sucked for fooling me so completely :P many thankyous were later exchanged ^-^

After presents were done we went to the Main Dining Hall to meet up with Khanat and Owen to go to Clayton Town for Monday Night Movies dinner shopping. Spent way too long in Coles trying to decide what to get and Khanat finally made the decision to get Chicken Nibbles and Garlic Bread. Then it was back to uni for my first lecture of the year... Property A!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

The lecture wasn't as bad as I expected; we spent about the firt half hour distinguishing between the 'lay people's perception of property' and the 'lawyer's perception of property'... apparently for lawyers, 'property' isn't the OBJECT of ownership but the RIGHTS attached to an INTEREST in the object... *mind explodes* @.@ But anyway, I made fairly good notes and actually got something out of the lecture and didn't fall asleep so it's all good ^-^

After lecture it was to the Den for food, meet up with Olivehead and Khanat, and later Owen, then bumming around until Movie Night time :D

Movie Night (Week 1)

In attendance: Khanat, Owen, Catie, Oliver, Ash, Yvonne, Celine, Damien and Me ^-^

So this week's movie night wasn't really a MOVIE night coz everyone got so caught up with playing SingStar that we didn't have time for the movie. We worked our way through Disney, Legends, Disney again, Party Hits and 90s. Dinner occurred at some stage in between Disney (2) and Party Hits (i think...) and washing up came afterwards. It was a whole heap of fun and many laughs were had. Also methinks Pedro's memory card is dead from the amount of playbacks we saved on it :P

And nooooooooooooooow... special mentions!!!! XD

SingStar Disney
Khanat and Ash to be commended for their awesome rendition of Circle of Life :P ...I've never heard anything quite so awesomely bad in my life :P Ash perhaps ha a slight advantage since he was pretty much singing the same line over and over but nevertheless it was very well done considering it made no sense to any of us :P

Owen and Ash to be commended on their rendition of Kiss the Girl ^-^ I'm not sure that anyone knew all the words but it didn't matter coz we were all laughing hard enough to poopie in our pants :P Owen's deep manly voice made up for Ash's 'I've just been kicked in the balls' falsetto (sp?) and the final 'YAYAYAYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!' was especially epic XD

SingStar Legends
Oliver managed to beat me in singing 'Imagine'... not sure how he did it... but seriously.... well done... i really mean it... :P

Can't remember what else was sung in Legends so moving on tooooooooo...

SingStar Party Hits
Catie is awesome for singing Hook Me Up with me even though she hates the song :P

Mambo No. 5... I recall Ash singing it... and then everybody took over so I’m not sure what happened there... but meh it was a lot of fun ^-^

so... moving on...

SingStar 90s
Ash's rapping for Love Shack was bloody impressive ^-^ I had a bit (a lot) less success with the girl part coz i didn't know any of the words :P

Pedro and Ash made me wanna cry when they sang Achey Breaky Heart... I’m sure everyone else felt the same way :P my ears and mind have been scarred by an oversized mullet...

Damien and Ash's 'U Can't Touch This' was absolutely fantastic :D their rap meter not only made it to the green but stayed there for most of the song :D awesome job guys!!!

'Bitch' was sung awesomely by Catie who has an awesome awesome voice ^-^

Ash and I sang Movin' On Up and it was much much fun :D

Celiney Beany and I sang Torn... while everybody was dancing in the background T-T I tried to look away so that i wouldn't laugh through the entire song but they were EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T-T

Owen's awesomely deep manly voice once again smashed Nick Cage and Kylie Minogue's 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' :D methinks we should get him to sing that song every time we play singstar just because his voice is so incredibly manly :3 I don't think I did too badly singing Kylie's part either ^-^

Oliver got his arse handed to him on a plate by me when we had a sing off to Savage Garden's 'I Want You' :D YEEEEEEEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Catie and Damien's Zombie was mighty impressive, both of them getting a score in the high 8000's :D

Nat racked up the highest score of the evening; 9100 points singing Barbie Girl :P (HELLS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!!!! XD)

and last but not least....

Khanat and Pedro did a highly disturbing yet memorable strip tease to Ash and my rendition of 'I Touch Myself'... thanks guys... my eyes are still burning... also Khanat gave up halfway through coz apparently he was being upstaged by Pedro :P ...someone please tell me why I'm dating that guy.... =/

anyhoo, that pretty much wraps up Movie Night for Week 1 ^-^ hope to see more people there next week!!!! ^-^ YAY FOR SHAMELESS ADVERTISING!!!!! XD
