Yes, I have a crush on a guy who's potentially going to hook up with another girl and yes, part of the reason why I don't like her and don't want him to is because I'm jealous. But I can also look at the situation objectively and say that he has changed, whether it's because of her or because of his friends I don't know but in my objective opinion, it's her. The opposite sex holds great power and I kind of wish my opinion would stop being discredited by the mere fact I want to get in his pants.
He's my friend too and he was my friend as well long before I started liking him and he will continue to be my friend too long after I'm done liking him so stop using "yeah but you're just jealous" as a rebuttal. Yes, I am, but that's not all I am. I'm also worried and concerned and upset and annoyed and also kind of pissed that no one sees the other stuff. My entire world does not revolve around a boy, I am not irrevocably in love with him, I just like him more than I do the rest of my male friends, I can still see the bigger picture.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I want him to be happy, regardless of whom it is that makes him so, I just don't think it's going to be with her.

Death row
So i've thought about this a little bit. I figured that I probably wouldn't be allowed to have my mother come and cook her quiche...but I also figured i would never be on death row. So i would have my mothers quiche, a nice juicy piece of steak, hot chips, hash browns, my meme's beans and mayonnaise, and a jug of lemon lime and bitters. For desert i would have an ice-cream cake and a bowl of fruits.
I've heard of a few weird orders looking through the net. The weirdest would have to be a single unpitted olive on a large ceramic plate....
Day 18 - What Would Your Last Meal Be If You Were On Death Row?
First of all, I just want to start off by saying I don't even plan to be on death considering that would require me a) committing a crime bad enough to warrant death and b) committing said bad crime outside of Australia and in a country without extradition laws.
However if I were to be in this hypothetical situation I would want them to bring my presumably very old by this point (or potentially dead) Nonna to their kitchen to make me lasagna.
That's basically what I ask for at christmas and birthdays nowadays: Nonna's lasagna, I know she won't be around forever and no one makes lasagna like her so I want to make the most of it while I can.

Day 17 Least favs
Comedian; Akmal Saleh, he was on thank god you're here a few times, he's not too bad but just a lil overated in my opinion.
Teacher: I didn't like my math teacher very much, he always liked to tell us that boys were better at math. My friend Joy was one of the best in the class. Maybe he hasn't realised that he may have gotten his phd in mathmatics but all he has ended up doing with his life is getting a shitty teaching job in a semi private school, and the depth of grey in his hair probably reminds himself every day that he probably wont do anything else with his life. So yeah he was quite chauvinistic. But i had a really bad teacher in molec last semester. He could not speak clear english let alone teach. I got this horrible mark on my exam and i went to see him and he just riled me up. The marking scheme he had for a test was horrible. The answers i gave for a few questions that were correct but didn't have the key word he had on his marking scheme. And when I tried telling him what i thought he pretty much told me that if he changed the marking scheme he would have to remark all the papers and he wasn't going to do that just because a few students complained. I really wanted to punch him in the face because i knew that if i submitted for my work to be remarked the same marking scheme would be used. Anyway i really felt that his poor teaching affected everyones learning in the end, and he couldn't admit to himself that he was the problem. He said to us once in the only lecture i went to that people mustn't be coming to the lectures because of the bad weather.
Author and book; DW I'm not going to vent about this one, it was called the last vampire by christopher pike. worst book ever, not even worth the $5 i payed for it. it was a series and my friend had read it and told me what happened in the end, and it was stupid, kind of like "but it was just a dream, he wasnt dead" It was worse than twilight.
Flower; i agree with zoe, you cant choose. Though i do like the fly trap, its a plant not a flower, but yeah pretty fascinating biologically speaking.
Food; peas are pretty bad. Don't really like mushrooms either, I hate the look, taste and texture.
Names; Don't call your kid gaylord, paris, or anything novelty. I could just name off half the kids a school that i look after that give me the shits.
Actor/actress; have to agree on adam sandler. he gets money for playing the same character in every movie. i wouldnt pay to see any movie of his for a while. I liked 50 first dates, and happy gilmore, but now im out of that phase where i would laugh at anything stupid.
Season; I hate winter, i wish my birthday was in summer rather than winter.
Animal; The only reason the sloth is still alive is because no animal wants the disgusting job of killing them. No joke, they smell and are filthy. And slow. Giant insects also creep me out a little.
Number; 5
Colour; aqua
Artist; i have none to tell you the truth, arts not really a thing that people can get famous for without skill.
Band/artist; Nickleback? nah i hate the likes of Kesha and JT. But zoes fav band nickleback will prob fall close to my least favourite side....lol
TV; Get rid of farmer wants a wife. I hate shows that make a game out of love.
Movie; there are heaps of shocking movies out there. Duncan tried o get me to watch this one movie, lost in translation. It had all these awards and was set in japan. and i finally got araound to watching it and i hated it. was sooo bored.

Infinite Money
We all spend a little time thinking about what we would do if we had a lot of money.
I feel that I should say that i would donate money to charity. Who wouldn't say that? But i have to say that i would probably get myself involved in something. There are many programs that i have been interested in that involve community and conservation based work in africa or asia, but haven't had the money to do.
I would spread the money through family of course. I don't think i would buy a new car, though mum would say i needed to get a safer car. When i say safer i don't mean that i am driving a ticking time bomb, what i am saying that my mum would probably make me buy the safest car out there because she is a lil paranoid. I like my car. She is good, reliable etc.
I would rent a place near uni so i wouldn't have to drive everyday in peak hour. I would buy a grand piano. I would pay for my band to record music in a good studio. I would buy new instruments, update the gear we have. I would go on that adventure i was talking about. I think people say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy you things that make you happy. If i have money i would never download anything illegal. I would buy all the music and movies that i wanted. I would be able to buy people presents and dinner! See, money can buy happiness! I think the key issue about money is how much you sacrifice to get it. Would you sacrifice your relationships to have it, or once you had it would it change your lifestyle and effect the way people see you and treat you. I probably wouldn't tell my friends i had money or how much money if i won the tatts or something. I would just live my life more freely.

Day 17 - Least Favourites
Book: Oh God, Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey? Do they even count as books? No? Okay then my least favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 that I had to read in year 10. I just...hated it, it was difficult to read and weird and boring. Don't read it - that's my advice.
Movie: also Twilight? I'm probably gonna cop some hate for this but I've never been a big fan of Toy Story, I don't hate it but it's definitely not up the good end of the scale. I also hate the muppets. *dodges rotten tomatoes*
TV Show: The Simpsons - I just think it's stupid.
Band/artist: Rhianna. I just...don't like her.
Artist: From my limited knowledge of artists I choose...Picasso.
Colour: Orange. I hate orange.
Number: 7 or 3 or 9. I don't like odd numbers. Or the number 6.
Season: Autumn I guess...even though it's my birthday. It's just kind of a meh season.
Actor/Actress: Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston. I don't think he's funny and I don't get all the hype around her. I'm definitely Team Angelina.
Animal: I'm definitely not pro-spider.
Name (boy and girl): I don't like the weird names like Jet or Harlow.
Food: Peas.
Flower: How can you hate a flower? Come on. Venus Fly Trap I guess...just 'cause they're kinda scary...
Author: Stephanie Meyer. She has to legitimately show up on this list at least once.
Teacher: SECS a.k.a Stupid Evil Communist Sub. He wasnt actually a communist (as far as I know) we were just studying communism when we had him. He sucked. And he didn't like me.
Comedian: I dont think I even know enough comedians to not like one. Adam Sandler again? Is he even a comedian? I don't know. He is now.
Day 15 Bullet Your Day
So I have been very behind on these posts...I am listing what i did on monday on wednesday. So on monday...
- I woke up to my alarm at 7 and went back to sleep...to justify my alarm i kept falling asleep trying to study for a test the night before so decided to give up and get up early to do it.
- I gave up to my alarm and woke up properly...
- I sat in bed for a bit and studied for the test i had that day. I had only gone through half the content until that point having only been to one lecture since the last test....
-Had a shower and washed my hair
-Got a bit of a scare because i didn't realise dad didn't go to work
-Did a bit more study outside drinking a fruit smoothie dad made me
-Went to uni early to revise for the test with my mate Duncan, or as i called him that day duncan't which made me sound like i was calling him a dumb c***....
-Saw Sheldon while studying. He was wearing a tshirt for once rather than wearing a singlet. I really get annoyed when he does that because i think he's just trying to show of his broad tanned shoulders but only make me cringe at his underarm hair. We talked about his hair on his hear which is long, and always tied back. We ended up watching a video; the ACA Dogman....at this point we gave up on studying...
- Went to vertabrate anatomy lecture and i didnt really listen, flicked through a few notes.
-Went to the test and I think did better than I thought i would having not done much study...
- Left and went back home
-Had an argument about what i was eating for lunch with dad
-Ate a sausage roll for lunch
-Went to work
- At work i looked after the kids, put the same ones in timeout as usual, prepared and served the afternoon snack which was wraps. They tasted pretty good...i want wraps now!
-I would usually go to band practice but we decided to skip this one because we had a gig on the weekend and i had an assignment to do.
-Got home and was pretty tired. At pasta bake for dinner which was really good.
-Played on Mums iPad for a bit and watched a bit of tv
-Got round to watching a bit of tv. Watched a can of worms and Modern Family
- Started working on my presentation for genetics on a paper about salamanders.
- Sat around playing solitaire before deciding it was a good idea to go to bed

Day 16 - What Would You Buy If You Had Infinite Money?
You mean apart from Harry Styles, right?
Um, I'd be all boring and practical - a house, pay off my Uni debt, a new car (or two), pay off my parents mortgage, I'd probably give them a large hunk, I'd donate some to charity, buy a couple of houses/apartment in Europe. Then I think i'd go on world wide holiday, travelling the US, going back to disneyland, Europe, visiting every country, a few stops in Asia before travelling Australia.
I'd buy a lot of books too, I've always wanted a house with a library.

Dear Ed Sheeran, Welcome to the Hall of Epic
I’ve been in a strange mood lately and I’ve had a single playlist of 21 songs on repeat for 2 weeks straight, racking up a good 15 goes through which, considering I only listen to music when I’m in the car or walking around Uni, is pretty good.
This playlist consists of all of my Ed Sheeran, James Morrison, Gavin DeGraw, two One Direction songs and one from Jimmy Eat World.
1. Drunk – Ed Sheeran
2. U.N.I. – Ed Sheeran
3. Grade 8 – Ed Sheeran
4. Wake Me Up – Ed Sheeran
5. Small Bump – Ed Sheeran
6. This – Ed Sheeran
7. The City – Ed Sheeran
8. Lego House – Ed Sheeran
9. You Need Me, I Don’t Need You – Ed Sheeran
10. Kiss Me – Ed Sheeran
11. Give Me Love – Ed Sheeran
12. Chariot – Gavin DeGraw
13. Not Over You – Gavin DeGraw
14. I’m In Love With a Girl – Gavin DeGraw
15. I Don’t Wanna Be – Gavin DeGraw
16. I Won’t Let You Go – James Morrison
17. You Give Me Something - James Morrison
18. Broken Strings – James Morrison (ft. Nelly Furtado)
19. Hear You Me – Jimmy Eat World
20. Moments – One Direction
21. More Than This (live) – One Direction
I can’t explain why I love this single playlist so much, I’m just in love with Ed Sheeran’s song writing (hence why 1D is in there, he wrote Moments, as for More Than This – I just love the live version). Small Bump, Give Me Love, Kiss Me, This – they’re all just…awesome. I can’t explain my feelings for Ed Sheeran’s amazingness. Give him a listen guys, he’s beautiful.
He’s more than just lovey-dovey depresso crap too though, he’s kind of…satirical too when in Give Me Love there’s the line “The say I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in an elevator.”
Admittedly, he threw me in Wake Me Up when he starts going on about how he’s never owned a Blu-Ray but apart from that he’s kind of…epic. And you all should know that, despite overusing that word, in its true sense I only reserve 'Epic' for a select few and I think Ed Sheeran is one of them. Welcome to the hall of Epic.
I Won’t Let You Go is one of mine and BFFL’s songs and every time I listen I think of her and how we sung it loudly (and badly) in the car on our last “roadtrip.” James Morrison has a beautiful voice and lyrics as well.
And Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World is possibly the single most heart breaking song ever, “a song for a heart so big//God couldn’t let it live.”

The end of an era
So this is gonna be a little hard to explain I think but you know (or at least should by now) that I play basketball and that's kind of the important part.
I play on Sundays in a domestic team with a bunch of girls I've known/played with (in some form or another) for years. We don't train, don't have a coach and we kick butt (like seriously, a 20pt win is an embaradsingly small margin for us). It's just for fun and a whole lot of laughter.
I also played on Friday nights which was a bit more serious. We were in the top division and despite having a horrific season we ended up 7th which, as my coach pointed out made us the 7th best team in the state which is kinda cool, we made the top 10 at least. Anyway, this was my last season, I'm too old now to play juniors so I'm left with the dilemma of "what am I going to do now?" I have no idea if I'll continue playing at this higher level, basketball is most definitely still in my future but for now...it's the end. It doesn't quite feel like it yet though...it hasn't really sunk in because it just feels like the end of last season, where I knew I'd be back in a few months for tryouts and pre-season training and the like.
Today I read this article on the Big V website (which is basically the level above what I was playing this year) about how once the season's ended you feel lost for a little while before you get back into the swing of normal social encounters again. And it is so freaking true. I didn't notice so much when I was younger (having less of a social life centred around Friday and Saturday nights) but now, facing a future without the prospect of Friday night basketball or Sunday trainings...I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do now. Go out on Friday and Saturday nights? Drink?
Friday nights without basketball? Sundays without training? They're foreign concepts to me. I'll be like a normal person again!
I know I'll miss it though, I already do. I have no idea what I'll be doing next year but I hope I'll still get to see the girls because, after all, they're the most important part.
Day 15 – Bullet point your whole day.
I actually did something today which makes this far more exciting than it would've been so here goes:
- dad woke me up about 7:30 or, well my alarm had already woken me up but I was still in bed
- did my morning ritual of checking Facebook, my emails and One Direction (not even kidding I have my favourite 1D related tumblr which I check daily - I hate myself so much.)
- drove mum to work, drove myself to work.
- TURNED THE HEATER ON AT WORK. pretty much the most important part of my working day in winter.
- did work stuff at work
- got home, let the dogs in, showered, fluffed around on my laptop while I waited for Matthew to show up.
- caught up with Matt and ate dinner
- started watching the extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring
- Matt fell asleep
- kept watching Fellowship of the Ring
- Matt went home
- kept watching Fellowship of the Ring
And that pretty much brings me up to now.
BTW - whoo! Day 15! Half way!!
First Boyfriend naww
So yesterday I fell asleep multiple times trying to study for the test i had today, and i have an assignment due tomorrow so this will be written very quickly so hopefully it will be readable.
So many of my friends had boyfriends before i did, so of course i felt a little left out, but looking back at it i was still very young and naive like we all were. But there is a first for everything, and i kinda like this story. So we were on this camp called outward bound, which was pretty much 9 days of roughin it in the bush where the closest thing to a shower was a water activity in the river. So romantic huh? Haha but most of the people in my group were friends and most the ones who weren't became my friends. Anyway one of the people i didn't know was Taylor. Tall, blonde humorous. We talked a bit while we were all sweating though the bush in the summer heat and i enjoyed talking to him because he was funny and distracted me from the boredom and pain of exercise and we were able to have a conversation of what food we would eat when we got home. Anyway so the last day came and we were at a resting point and there was a secret going around that Taylor liked someone. I swear guys are as bid a gossips as girls are. So no one told me who and I thought he liked my friend Emma. But i think eventually I got the gist of what was going on. But before any talking could be done we had an activity. So the group instructors paired us up and sent us up the path in pairs that they thought weren't friends, as though forcing us to spend 9 days together in the heat of the bush wasn't enough of a social experiment. And guess who i got paired with? Taylor of course. It was the most ridiculous coincidence, like Bella swan who just happens to be paired in biology with the mysterious guy who looked at her funny at lunch. Got a few giggles from everyone remaining to be paired up.
Anyway so we walked together and we talked about family and interests etc and then he asked me out. I was so embarrassed/nervous that i had to take some time and answer him later. Of course i ended up saying yes but now i look back i feel bad about it because he had to wait, but it would have been horrible if i said yes just because of peer pressure. We only dated for a few weeks, but we were young and didn't know each other. We have had a bit of history together and i would have to say i have been a bit of a bitch, and i still feel bad about it, but im not going to ruin the cute story by talking about it here. We are still friends and I'm glad it was him who was my first.

Day 14 - How the First Boyfriend Asked You Out
'Au début j’ai commencé d’écrire ce post en français, pour deuz raisons
1) je ne parle souvent le français et je voulais pratiquer
2) j’étais dans une lecture de couture italienne et je ne voulais pas d’autres lire ce que j’ai ecrit.
Chaque foie que je pense de mon ‘ex’ petit copain, je pense de la chanson laquelle va “A long time ago, we used to be friends, but I haven’t thought of you lately at all” pour la premier part, c’est vrai. D’autre fois, nous étions les meilleurs des amis, quant à la deuxième partie…en réalité, malheureusement, je lui pense assez souvent. Cependant, il était mon premier ‘amour’ et le seul petit copain de ma vie (pour le moment) alors a mon avis, c’est d’accord que je lui pense.
Donc « comment est-ce que mon premier petit copain me demande de sortir avec lui ? »
D’accord, il était un de mes meilleurs amis alors nous...'
To start with, (as you can see above) I originally wrote this post in French – for two reasons
1) I dont often speak French and I wanted to practice
2) I was in my italian culture lecture and I didnt want anyone to read what I was writing.
Each time i think about my ex-boyfriend, i think of the song which goes "A long time ago, we used to be friends but I havent thought of you lately at all" for the first part, it is resoundingly true. Once upon a time, we were best friends. As for the second part…in reality, unfortunately, I think of him quite often. However, he was my first "love" and the only boyfriend I’ve ever had (so far) so I think it’s okay that I think of him from time to time.
Okay, "how did my first boyfriend ask me out ?" Just BTW - why do you assume HE asked ME? It could've been a Sadie Hawkins Dance type thing.
Anyway, he was one of my best friends so we used to talk all the time - MSN(remember MSN everyone? - awww the good old days!), texting, calling sometimes even, you name it. Anyway one night after months and months of OTT flirting and "are you guys going out yet"s my best friend nudged me into asking him out. However, in my subtle I-dont-want-to-be-too-out-there-in-case-he-says-no (which there was like zero chance of anyway) way, the meaning of my curveball of an ask-out went straight over his head because, bless him, but he wasn't always the brightest spark when it came to stuff like that so a few minutes later he asked me out instead and hey presto! Zoe got herself her first boyfriend.
We had 4ish lovely months together before the fighting started in earnest and we spent the next 2 months having a Katy Perry-esque time of fighting and breaking up, kissing and making up until he got a new girlfriend and pretty much broke my poor 13 year old heart.
The End.
P.S. it was at 8:13pm on Monday 20th February 2006.
And it's not creepy I know the exact time because MSN used to time stamp everything for you! However it is probably creepy I still remember all that...but it's the only anniversary I've ever had to remember so...

Stupidly bugged...
This is stupid, and I know it shouldn't bug me but maybe it's the person in question doing the bugging not so much the situation.
Anyway, I went out last Saturday night for my friends birthday. We went to this bar in the city so I dressed nice, as you do when you're heading out, and I put on some make up.
So we're out, chilling having a great old time and one of my friends goes: "Hey, you're wearing make up!" with this shocked look on his face. And I'm just kinda like...yeah, I'm wearing a skirt too, what's your point?
Just because I don't wear makeup (or a skirt/dress) every day doesn't mean I dont know how to and won't ever.
What's the big deal anyway? Girls wear make up all the time.
Argh. Stupid.
It just bugs me when people make a big deal out of it.
I mean, for what it's worth he told me I looked nice but that's kind of the reason why I don't wear make up - I shouldn't have to in order to look good.
The last list!
Last Movie:
The Hunger Games I am proud to say. I love the movie because it is such an amazing adaptation to the book. Yes there are bits in it where you go "but that didn't happen" but you know it would be too much effort to but in the backstory to keep it there. Katniss got bread not a riot from District 11, but in a way I really prefer it that way because it really gets to the heart of the theme of the movie. It would have been to hard too turn the bodies of the dead contestants into muts. The direction choices in some areas were perfect. The movie could have easily turned the Hunger Games into a sport. In the first few seconds of the games there is just silence during the violence. The movie does not celebrate the hunger games or glorify them. Its not meant to be action like a cops and robbers film, there are kids killing kids and you want Katniss to move and get out of there. I could go on forever about the movie but I wont... I'll just say to watch it if you can, because it's not about kids killing kids, but inequality, ignorance, and power in the wrong hands.
Last Book:
I think the last book i finished was 50 shades of grey, but I am not going to count that because a) It was an ebook, hence not a book, b) Poorly written porn, hence not a book, c) I only read it last because i stopped reading it to read the Black magician Trilogy, so I will talk about that. Zoe lent be the last two books in the series. They were quite good. I had a different take on it because I had read another book that was kind of a prequel to the series, based hundreds of years earlier. I did get annoyed at one point and skip the next three lines if you don't want a spoiler. I really liked this one guy that the main character fell for. Then she started to ignore him so not to put him in danger from this guy that was holding her captive pretty much. Then she found out the dangerous guy wasn't dangerous and fell for him. And just after I got used to the good dangerous guy and started to like him he dies.
But other than that it was a pretty good story.
The last person I spoke to other than my mother telling me to get something out of the dogs mouth would be Jess, the drummer in my band. She has a new puppy called Harley, and he puts my dog to shame. She is training him and he is going sooo well. It kind of helps that he has practically imprinted on her, but she has taken him to a lot of classes and is really dedicated. She is such a fun person to be around and talk to. She is the photographer and always on instagram. She is a fast driver, absolutely in love with City and Colour and always tired from work and uni but still lets us in her house twice a week for band practice. Who's that girl...its JESS!
