China Wine, China Wine

Why is it that I am totally unashamed in finishing the last chip when sharing a bag of potato chips with someone, but when sharing KFC chicken, and it's down to the last one between two of you guys, I always feel so scummy if I go for it. FRICK SAME WITH MACCA'S CHIPS! Seriously one of the worst scenarios. When you're with a bunch of people sharing Macca's chips. And it's down to that last chip. Not the measly ones the size of your fingernail, all burny and crisp. No, this last piece is a ripper. It's the size of your fingernail, soggy, oily and yummos. But everyone just looks at it like it's untouchable. So then you take a step of faith, reach out and take it. Of course, no one says anything. But you just feel like everyone is saying 'AHAH! THE DOUCHE OF THE GROUP HAS REVEALED HIMSELF BY CLAIMING THE LAST CHIP! HUZZAH, THE TOWN JERK IS MARCUS!" Then I wish I didn't eat the chip. BUT then at the end, the taste overrides all feelings and unspoken social etiquette.

Also, when riding in the car with someone, it always feels like I'm a douche if I take the front seat. But what the frig am I meant to say?! "Shall it be agreed that I take the front seat, you hind passenger?"

And ALSO, when someone is eating potato chips, or whatever, and has obviously oily chip fingers, DON'T TOUCH MY FRIGGIN LAPTOP! Your oil glistens, and I can totally see what you typed just by looking at which letters on my keyboard are shiny, and how shiny.

Finally, from the time you ring the doorbell, to the time somebody opens the door. Seriously, be honest with yourself, how many different poses do you consider before locking it in. Then when they open the door, you look like you weren't expecting them to open it (the 'surprised; look. But who you really fooling? you rang the doorbell), or you look real pensieve looking in some other direction (the 'I'm so deep this house visit is only a halftime break from thinking intelligent thoughts' look),

Have you ever called someone, hoping and wishing SO BAD you just get the voicemail, and don't have to talk to them?

Oh, and small news. Derby win on the weekend; 3-0. Highlight of the year candidate! Come on you gunners.

'I listened to him before he became famous'

'I'm so over this'

'Let's not watch that movie, someone told me it's crap'

'Oh your food looks nice, can I try some?'

'That was so 2008'

'Let's have a prawn party!'

Heartbreak Warfare

Drop his name, push it in and twist the knife again.

Watch my face as I pretend to feel no pain...

Genius!!

Clouds of sulphur in the air

Bombs are falling everywhere

It's heartbreak warfare

Once you want it to begin

No one really ever wins

It's heartbreak warfare

If you want more love

Why don't you say so?

Left 4 Dead 2

Help?!

Rebekah's First Blog (For Me)

Okay. I'm literally lying in bed right now and I have my personal scribe blogging this.

Uni lectures are finally over and I have one last tute left; accounting blows. The only highlights of my week was Lady Gaga's new song (Marcus is going on this random speel about Lady Gaga's new album - weird0. )

I've learnt this week that everyone is on their own journey even the ones I thought were simply bobbing along. Friends lost, family left behind and a hometown only a distant land. My eyes have been opened to the migrant experience.

I have a game for us to play. It's called 'Wordlink'. You have to use six listed words and link them all up into a story. Funniest story wins. When the words/phrases appears in the story make it caps. Good luck. Winner gets any flavor tea they want.

Here are the words:

1. Michael Jackson
2. CNN
3. Hair Product
4. Scuba Diving
5. Morocco
6. That's a lot of nuts

I hate try hard kids.

Riddleband Is Fun

These are the qualities I need to pass exams now.

This could so be a chance to complain, whinge and whine, but I shall, must and will refrain. It does me no good.

Instead, I COULD be looking forward to the summer, and possibly Bali. But BY FAR, I'm just looking forward to the Torts invigilator (such dope vocab) to say "You must stop writing".

How things have changed in the span of 10 months. I was barking up the wrong tree, listening to totally different music, and I was 18. Then again, pretty sure I was having THE TIME OF MY LIFE 10 months ago in a place called the friggin EAST COAST OF AMERIKAHHHH AHHHHHH I miss it so much! Anyway, long story short, 2009 looks to have been a year of change, yet a year so similar to other years.

Anyway, it's way too early to do post-year evaluations. But obviously not too early to do uni evaluations. The only thing that pisses me off more than that are student election people, and bad customers. Oh and women that look good only from the back, only to turn around and HAVE FOOLED YOU.

QUESTION: Does this happen for you too ladies? Do guys look good from the back, only to turn around and be a let down?

I think we invented a great game on Wednesday night. I think I have decided to call it...Riddleband! Enquire for more details, or if you want to play.

But You Never Let You Shine

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HELP!!

AHHHHHH!! I'm listening to music from almost a decade ago!!!! And it's not the kind that people listen to cos they're supposedly classics like Jeff Buckley and the Beatles. I'm listening to songs from my childhood that aren't as 'pretentiously good taste-esque', for use of better words.

Backstreet Boys and N'Sync I can't stop listening to you
