No words.
No words.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Are we kidding, I don't care about Howard, what are the ABC thinking??
The Chaser will be next, mark my words...

pourquoi vous n'écouterez jamais ce que je dis. vous parlez et parlez, mais je veux juste, pendant un moment, pour mes pensées à la matière. ferez-vous cela ? je ne peux pas la tolérer pour toujours 

yeah!

but seriously, i need some thinking time. hmmmhmmmhmmm *thinking* *thinking*

bloody hell, bentley has an unholy hold over me sometimes. why do i feel the need to protect him? i make the right choices, why do i think it's my fault he doesn't. dammit. dammit. dammit.

on that note, my voice has not been the same since my GlanFev. I can't sing properly and my throat hurts when i talk too much. Doc says it could kep reoccuring for years. Pretty freaking harsh punishment for a moment of madness. and a pretty depressing thought. singstar is my only true skill, and i've lost it. damn.

Interview went alright y'day i think. The HR people were so unprofessional. The one on my table and the one at the next table kept giggling and whispering to each other. It was so rude, I mean they only had to act professionally for 45 minutes, how hard is it?

I have been reading stupid features all morning, and it's so nice outside, but I'm at Mac and apparently going to lunch with Kate at 1pm, but just can't be bothered with this assessment. I can feel my happpiness slowly seeping away. Well it was fun while it lasted. Back to the depressing real world that is so easily forgotten when you have no responsibilities and ignorable uni. I don't know how I am going to possibly pass this semester, I'm too disorganised and unmotivated to work this much.

I seriously don't care about how white space makes articles easier to read or why and when photos should be used. They just ARE ok? Hardly merits 800 words.

My legs are sooooo sore from so many days in heels, on the upside, i guess it means I don't need to go to the gym! Not that I ever do anyway. I need to start my walks again before I turn into a blimp and can't go to the beach!

so, two young cute law students with mounds of work to do, but oh so hungover. 
what do they do? create the ultimate playlist of thir love, DUH. 
From angst, to first kisses, to fights, to growing up, to falling in love, to bravery, to cowardice, to stupidity, to absolute lameness, it covers everything (But nine inch nails didn't make the cut) 
the asute amongst you may notice some vital songs missing. oh yes. well there are, but we decided it probably wasn't worth fighing over, or even more songs would had to have been added. plus this is (generally) a more subtle soundtrack, coz everyone has the usual songs
its a rough draft, but i think its pretty sweet. Needs to be edited when boys Ipod is here and torrented now i have my pretty nano!! simultananeous singing anyone?
hehe, oh memories though, it was funny. and no mocking me!
it isn't in order, but next timewe're too lazy to do anything else we'll give it a bit of meaning.

omg,  cutest one ever, Limp Bizkit "The One", I was so dumbfounded by the story behind it, i had completely forgotten so much.

Ok, now i really need to

Oh. My. Lord.
What a random 24 hours.
Even by my standards. A lot of it shouldn't be written about but anyway...
Admittedly, a lack of sleep always seems to precede my weird days, but nevertheless, I am still the biggest magnet for lunatics in the world. Anyways, enough build up. Today the boy jigged uni so we could actually see each other for more than 5 minutes and it was great. The weather was a little schizo though. One minute we were lying outside in the sun, I was even wearing shorts and my floppy hat! (and being mocked for my pale legs) and then it got really really dark and cold and pouring rain. Then it was no fun being outside anymore so we went inside an hung out for a while until it was time for me to get ready for uni :-( OH! and i gardened today, seriously dudes i raked the courtyard, its so hard. I think my biceps are bigger already :P

The boy drove me in and coz we were starving and Hungry Jacks was on the wrong side of the road we had linner at Maccas. Sitting outside minding our own business when this Saamoan guy walks up to us, with a guitar, and just starts singing to me. I was a little mortified and highly amused. I have no idea what he was doing, maybe it was a dare or something. So that was freak no. 1.

Christian nutter freak: Nathan C saw us at the shops this morning when we were all handsy and glazed and essentially tolds us we are going to hell because we are sinners and God will judge us. I tried to argue, but no point fighting with idiots anyway. I love his belief that I have broken all the commandments, even murder, because murder is a symbolic term. ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHH, yes, well then why does he take the rest of the bible literally. IDIOT. Meanwhile, i bet i have more fun than him. And seriously, i rather have fun in this life than miss out on everything in order to get into somewhere that no-one is really sure even exists. 

*you only get one ticket, you may as well enjoy the ride*

Had a really boring journo seminar, but Annette liked my story and my conversion from broadsheet to compact (ie smart tabloid) so i was all yay! praise! i loves it, you just don't get it enough at uni, or anywhere these days. So that was fun

Now to the really freaky part. I was catching the train to Bankstown at about 10, and I was standing up just before we got to the station anyway, my dad called me so i was answering my phone and the action somehow made one of the bobby pins holding my hair fall out and land on the floor of the train. This guy, a little older than us and really well dressed, not a derro type, looks right at me, picks up the bobby pin and puts it in his pocket! WEIRD!

I'm so freaked he's like a mad scientist and will use DNA from my hair to clone me. The earth can only take one of me, seriously. But omg! what a weirdo. Who steals bobby pins???

Hair fetish anyone?

Love you like fireworks
but then, what is love but a glorified screw?
(oh yes, nathan is right, i'm going to hell for my cynical dirty ways, and i'm not going to stop, he couldn't even read in yr 6, maybe God's trying to tell him something, coz my life is pretty sweet lately)

On a lighter note, there are cats having sex outside my bedroom. it doesn't sound like they're enjoying it much. Lol, that reminds me of Black Books with Josef the blind Russian piano teacher *BACH! Today, she is a prodigy, yesterday, it was cats...scrrrrrewving!*

This one is just for you, Jen!

Coz I'm a horrible person and you know it

I was just perusing MySpace, and my friend, G Love and Special Sauce caught my eye, mostly beacuse of the reminder you gave me about his had a new album.

OH YES, he is coming to Sydney. Even though I'm not a MASSIVE fan of his music, i do like laid back boy music in the Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, DMB, Mayer strain. We should keep an eye out for G Love posters at newtown or markets and steal them. Hehe

Alright, well I start work at 10.30 so I better get a move on

Hugs & Kisses

"What you hold in your hands is pure, fresh, organic, summer sound. So go ahead, scratch it, sniff it, squeeze it, bite it until its juices slide down your elbows and leave you satisfied."

yeah i can't be bothered typing anything deep

*Subconjunctival hemorrhage: This is the reason for my v v sexy eye atm. Oh yes, I'll warn you guys who haven't seen it now so if i do my Hilton eyebrow thing, you don't get shocked and think I'm dying. Coz this was the reaction of my family. It'll go away in about 2 weeks, and most of the time you can't see it cos it's mostly above my iris and under my eyelid, but Dr K told me it might spread out and get more visible so, well yeah. I'm sorry if my hideousness offends anyone :(

*Spina Bifida Occulta: or "hidden spina bifida" for you experts. This is really cool. It means the bottom of my spinal cord is exposed and I'm missing part of my bottom vertebra. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing hahaha. It doesn't even affect me. But it sounds cool. I'm defective no? I'm hereby claiming my unco-ness is a result of my disability. PJ thinks i should get a diasbility sticker for the car so he doesn't have to drive around and around. I think he's fat enough hahaha. Another interesting thing. Apparently it's genetic, and 90% of cases are those of celtic descent. My grandmother has it too, but it actually causes her leg pain and impacted backbones and stuff so we're not allowed to tell her I have it in case she feels guilty or something.  I think me and Pheebs should start an exclusive support group that involves cocktails (for me) and perrier (for her) and irish music.

*Don't you love dancing? My god I need to go out this weekend! I love that T-FUNK and Katie Underwood "Be Together" song. It makes me wanna shake my groove thang! oooh yeah

*Today is Nat's birthday! Happy 19th birthday my baby! She's a little depressed atm because Whibley married Avril on the weekend. Insensitive timing guys! Our present for her is pretty rocking though. More shocking is the fact *the boys thought of it* AHHHHHHHHHHhahaha. I'll write more about it after she gets it.

*Panic! are playing at the Hordern now! That means extra tickets. I am there so fast my dears. On sale tomorrow morning I think. YAY! We better not miss out this time dude

*Wireless internet is tres dodgy, my laptop wireless isn't working, neither is Sean's, and or downstairs computer blew up, so i only have dad's computer :(

*Damn Jenny, now i keep seeing uni boy everywhere, i was so happy with my repressed memory...I thought i saw him in the G hall bakery the other morning. I nearly died. My face mmust have been pricelss. And no...i promise i do not like him now. You've just made me paranoid *shaking fist like a crazy old man at you*

*You guys should get your hands on the CF Noir written by Ken Bruen. It's fabbo-u-lous

*I learnt a new word yesterday. "Lowie", my brother was so ashamed i didn't know a bankstown slang word. I'd like to say it's because i've been out of MSJ too long, but the truth is, i was never really down with the slang then either. haha. Too pure to be pink.

*Oh yes oh yes, FINALLY I had a nights sleep without asian karaoke. Admittedly, that's coz i stayed at someone else's house but dear lord. I think I shall never go home again

I LOVE YOUSE ALL hahaha
I like typing youse because I'd never say it. I remember telling Michael off in kindy for saying somethink, god i weas a bratty little loser. My manager writes "somethink" down when she leaves me notes on a Sunday, i mean it's bad enough to SAY it, but to WRITE it. ERk, how illiterate can you be?? God I'm random.

Love and kisses,
Ari 

Vous m'appelez toujours votre diamant. Le prix précieux dans votre vie riche. Ce que vous pas réalise est qu'un diamant seule est inutile. Le potentiel est là, oui. Mais il ne peut pas noter, il sera donné sur, indépendamment d'à quel point bel il est. 

Vous êtes la bande d'or autour de moi. Vous me tenez vers le haut de fier. Vous me montrez au loin, sacrifiant votre propre beauté m'avez laissé être adoré. Le monde peut m'admirer, et j'ai un endroit en raison de toi. 

Ensemble, le diamant et l'or sont parfaits. Ils complètent l'autre. Nous sommes l'anneau, et il est en raison de toi.

The best laid plans of mice and men. I had planned to have a nice early night tonight considering after very little sleep I had to be in Newtown by 10 this morning. Alas, my neighbours are whores for the asian karaoke and it comes straight in through my bedroom window, so I'm do a little entry on this thing.

Hmmm. today i went to Newtown with my mum and saw Sophie Scholl at the dendy with the free ETA tix. It was really interesting, i love German history, its so unbelievably disturbing. She was only 21 and she was beheaded for distribtuing pamphlets about the futile attempts of the Germans at Stalingrad. I learnt about her in modern in yr 12 but the movie really brought it to life. She was so strong and courageous. One of those people that makes me feel I'm wasting my life in comfortable complacency.
 
Had a fantastic lunch at "thai riffic" OMG i couldnt beleve it actually existed. The waitress was so funny. It was cold so she offered to put the gas heater on. Took her about 200 annoying clicking sounds before she gave up and bropught a new one over. It was priceless watgching my mum getting more and more pissed off. But the food made up for it.

On the way home stopped in at Howard Rd to see gran and grandfa (well he was at the gaelic football/hurling so he arrived later) Sean and Emma aere weird tho. They live in the flat out the back atm and they didn't even bother to come in and say hello. If it were me I'd be dying for an excuse to talk to someone different. They are so old before their time. For god's sake, he's only a year older than dad. Anyway stayed there un til about 5.30. Gotta love the quick "drop in"

Oh and funny moment of the day. Me and mum were driving down the highway listening to Hughesy Kate n Dave on the Sunday Sleep In, they were crapping on about something like stealing butter, there was some joking about slathering it on the body but notihng uncomrfortable for parental co-listening, purely peripheral, and i wasn't really listening properly. Anyways I was having some discussion with my mum about something related what they were saying, but perfectly innocent when all of a sudden this happens.
Hughesy on radio: "And you can find little hairs in it" 
Me: Ew. Oh yuk
Mum: I don't get people that buy toppings to spread on their partners, its disgusting
Me: *stunned silence* then MUM! OMG! I wasnt ready for that...omg, i cant believe you just said that. OMG OMG! You got to warn me about these conversations. Top ten things mother should never say etc etc
Mum: *Chuckles embarrased* Yeah, but I mean they sell it at target for heavens sake. *looks at my shocked face, bursts out laughing*
Me: Ohmigod, this coversation isn't happening. Can you stop now
Mum: I mean, what's so great about licking chocolate syrup off someone
Me: *can think of plenty but nothing i shall admit to you* Yeah its feral, yuck. *everyone knows cream is better haha* (then i tried in vain to changed the subject bringing up that episode of Kramer where he covers himself in butter to tan, y'know "stick a fork in me jerry i'm done!") She went to speak. I wasn't gonig to risk further continuance in the previous line
Me: You know some people i know still put baby oil on themselves to tan
Mum: Isn't that disgusting, yet it'll be the ones that protect themselves that die of sun cancer
Me: *sigh of relief* Oh. I. Know.

On that disturbing note I shall love you and leave you. Bella Notte

Hmmm, i might not be able to call people for the rest of the weekend so I'll just let you know now. Just got back from the specialists and got my report back. He said that the tests showed up nothing so he's given me the all clear from any lymphoma or really nasty stuff. Still don't know what it is, but I'm not dying so that's a relief (for me at least :P) So I just have one more test left. yay! Anyway, thanks for all the luck and love. hope you guys have an awesome weekend. I know I will. I'll hopefully see some of you there. DON'T LAUGH AT ME!

Anyway, ummm...the most exciting thing I've done since I last wrote was to download the box set of disney classics soundtracks. It's awesome. I know I'm pathetic, but I'm also happy, so just consider that. 

Oh, and I took my mum to Pho at An for the first time today. It was funny, the small pho defeated us so badly, we didnt even make a dent, but it was yummy.

Ok, well I've got to go now and get stuff organised for the imminent disaster, I mean celebration. Pray for us!

I'm packed, I'm ready, I'm excited. I'm leaving tomorrow. woohoo. So I'm going to sleep early so I'm up bright and early. I love holidayssssss 

Started looking aorund for new jobs today, new resume is finished, hopefully something will come of it coz payless are giving me the shits

Saw Pirates 2 today. Predicatably, I loved it. Johnny Depp was awesome, gorgeous in the most unlikely situations. Orlando gives me butterflies, I nearly squealed out loud when he put that knife between his teeth to climb up the sails, so so sexy. Even Keira was ok, and she irritates me a lot usually. I think its the "oh look at me i'm so sexy" open mouth pout. I hate that obvious sexiness. Usually unsuccessful. The special effects were Aamazing.

Oh, and to make my day even cooler, princess diaries is on. Be still my nerdy teenybopper heart. I heart Michael so much.

Right, well I'm going to go now, watch tv and sleeeeeeeeeppppp. 
Slainte!

waaaaaaaah! the blues lost, i'm so so heartbroken. but them's the breaks.

Janet came to dinner tonight. It was really cool, she has so many interesting stories to tell. I think it's really sad that some people have no families of their own, so many stories must go to waste. Especially when the reason she has so many stories are because of the trauma she has gone through. I think, even though I don't really know her that well personally, I'm slowly adopting her as a third grandmother. In so many ways shes a lot like me, more than my real grandmothers. Except she's a paediatrician and obviously incredibly gifted. But a lot of the things she says i really identified with. AND she is so so awkward, its like looking at me in a mirror.

My vote: even though she didn't know of harry potter! (oh i know); she's a cool cat. I hope she stays for dinner again really soon. Plus mum pulled out a show stopping dinner. (I was responsible for dessert and it went great guns :P)

In other news, Maureen has pulled an absolute winner that has left me smiling all day. God i love that girl. (Background note: Maureen is my dad's older sister, she's about 45. She was, like most of my dad's family, rather precosious as a youngster but, when she was 5 she got german measles and her fever basically got so high that her brain was scarred, leaving her with permanent damage. But, even though she is not quite good enough to function at a normal level, she is smart enough to know that she is handicapped, which would have to be the most heartbreaking and demoralising situation to be in.) Anyways, she works at this sheltered workshop where they do things that machines aren't able to do, such as packaging chocs and sorting pencils and the like.
 
Some of you have met Maureen, and you'll agree, she's super cool. Her ability to mimic people is quite simply amazing- there ain't a voice she can't copy. But some of you have also witnessed her super nasty temper. Oh yes, she has the irish fury- much like her niece in fact, except that it's sometimes difficult for her to control. And yes, its humiliating for a law student to lose an argument to soemone with brain damage, but not altogether unusual. She can argue and reason with the best.

Mo is quite a large lady. She's just slightly taller than me and, due to both compulsive eating (you don't know frustrating until you've come home to a chained up fridge in the middle of the night after a night on the town) and medication which causes her to swell up, she has in recent years ballooned to about a size 22 or thereabouts. While my gran was sick nobidy could really do anything about it. But know gran is fighting fit and as such, things were all shook up at howard rd.

Oh yes, Phoebe went on a rampage. Poor Mo went on a diet that essentially consisted of milkshakes with dietary supplements and fruit and vegies. And dammit, it worked well. She's down to a size 14-16 and just looks fantastic. More importantly, she feels healthier and good in herself. This in turn has made an amazing difference to her mental state and mood. Everyone happy families. She's happy staying at the BEHHA house, my grandparents could relax.

Fast forward to tonight, mum's cooking the afore mentioned dinner. I'm talking to her in the kitchen. The phone rings, i answer.

Me: Hello?
Grandfather(cue irish accent, coz that's important) : Ah, hellow Ari-annie. How are ye honey
Me: Good thanks Grandfather. And you?
G/Father: Oh i'm ok honey, is your daddy there?
ME: Yeah, i'll grab him (yells out DAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD phoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee; no answer, mum grabs phone, listens for a second to grandfather)
Mum: Ok, Chris I'll just grab Patrick for you (NB Patrick=dad, not O'Connor, just in case you're confused, i know...)
Mum, who i inherited the uncontrollable giggling from, starts uncontrollable giggling.
So i asked her what was so funny. Apparently while packaging LINDT Chocolates there were 14 reject ones that Maureen was supposed to leave to the side for dubious purposes. She was obviously feeling a little bit down and, having not eaten chocolate since january, and, there being lindt chocolates in front of her, SHE ATE THEM ALL. hahahaha.

So, she got suspended from work. And dad has to skip golf with his friends to got to a meeting with her bosses (who are complete morons) All for eating LINDT chocs that weren't suitable for retail anyways. I ask you, what woman wouldn't do that? spec onedeprived of chocolatey goodness for so long. Its as good as when she stole and ate the icing plaque off my aunty's birthday cake because she was "mean" to Maureen and she wanted to piss her off. hehe. It's just so cool.

Pointless long story i know ah well, noones holding a gun to your head and its saves me telling this story to my cousins.

Okie-day beddy byes now. Love yas!

Oh God i need chocolate. But apart from that a really awesome day. Sleep in till 11. Lounging around with my fave pillow all arvo. I love the simple life. My pillow got a haircut too, its super sexy, I like it lots :P
I'm so tempted to cut my fringe and dye my hair, but i can't go to the hairdressers coz i'm v v poor! How am I the only person in the world without an apprentice hair dresser amongst my friends. What use are all these lawyers and accountants! Hehe kidding, i much rather have my kiddies than crazy hairdressers.
Hanging with kimmy and jen tomoz. yay yay!

Dammit dammit dammit. I'm infected. I truly hate antibiotics they ruin all my fun. What use is medication that means you can't drink?

Anyway, I'm actually hoping I am infected because that means my lymph nodes will disppear!!! Hooray! But in the mean time its not much fun stuck at home while everyone else has their dancing shoes on : (

Going to the footy tomorrow...canterbury v tigers! YAY! ALso working, so i'm doubly excited. I miss sunday shifts

Oh well, i always have the young hot John Travolta on my screen. Grease is the Word!

That Grease party was a nice party wasn't it? Gives me fond memories...

*Cheer up. A hickey from Kenickie is like a hallmark card! When you care enough to send the very best*

And yes, Alyson Hannigan is Frenchie's lovechild.

That is all
