actually

shes not fine

she hobbled across the backyard this morning as i was hanging out the washing

back legs are stopping working

she's at the vet

again, i'll let you know

alright. i have retold this story so many times now, that i probably could just look at my fingers and say 'go!' and they'd fly all over the keyboard and type it for me, BUT, i also cant be bothered doing that. instead i shall copy and paste from an email. get over it.

*huge big sigh*

ok

she's ok, here's the story...

im sure you've heard that australia has some the most venemous animals in
the world. and the brown snake is up there with the best of them. this one
was about 30-45 centimetres long, and about as thick as my finger. the snake
man said it was about 3 years old.
id just gone to the toilet and was washing my hands and happened to look out
the window. banjo was in pouncing position, so i kept watching, wondering
what she was going for, thinking it was probably just a leaf. but then i saw
something fly up into the air that had no legs and wasnt leaf shaped and i
managed to stay quite calm and run out there and just stand there and say
fuck.
then i got a bucket and tried to put it on top of the snake while banjo
still had it by its tail, but the snake started striking at the bucket so i
stopped that pretty quickly. i went inside and called personimustnevermention but he was at
work, so i called the council and they gave me a snake catcher number, and
when i called them, the snake had gone into the hose ive conected to the
washing machine so the used water can come out and water the grass (you
know, driest state, driest continent and all that), so the snake man said to
put a wet towel over the end of it and he'd come get it. then i took banjo
to the vet and they kept her there for about 5 hours.
when i got back from the vet the snake man had the snake and he showed me
all the bite marks along its body. he said that chances are, each time banjo
bit the snake, the snake would have bitten back. that meant about 4 or 5
bites. brown snakes kill people, so i was freaking out. so i sat down after
he left and had a cry, thinking that banjo was the stupidest, most retarded
cat in the entire world. and that telling the kids that she was dead would
be the hardest thing i'd ever have to do.
i called the vet at about 5 and she said to come get her. that she hadnt
shown any signs of being bitten so far, but i have to keep an eye on her for
the next 12 hours.

so that was my day

how was yours? not so snakey?

i think she's ok

i think she's ok

when im not exhausted from attempting to trap a snake and then thinking all day that my cat is going to die, i'll write more

banjo is at the vet. shes almost definately been bitten. the snake catcher came out and got the snake. it was just a bit longer than a ruler, and about as thick as my finger.

same sort that kills people all the time

snake had bite marks all over it so banjo could have been bitten more than once

i'll let you know

so right now im waiytiong for as nkaoe catcher

more news when ist comes tohand

post secret

i used to think i was being filmed by today tonight, and would do my voice overs in my head

ooooh, new blogger!

how exciting

SOLD OUT

this year's big day out is sold out. luckily kirsty and i decided to get our tickets last week or we would be spewing



in truth, i only really got a ticket because i knew id be mad at myself if it came to that day, and i was at work, when i knew i had every opportunity to be at the big day out. the bands werent all that fantastic. i've seen all the big names, and if i havemt, i dont care to see them (my chemical romance, anyone?). but it was when they released the smaller names that i got excited


the last time i say you am i was just before i went away. they played at the gov, and it was one of the hardest shows ive seen them do, ending with tim screaming on the floor with no shirt on

i cant wait

new years

started off good. had a lovely time at marks party. had a bbq, played darts, was not responsible for making a hole in an aboriginie, played totem tennis, had jelly shots and ate watermelon vodka, watched a sparkler explosion, got on a bus, played itchy titchy, took photos of boys weeing, got to the cranka, saw the spazzys, danced danced danced, there was a countdown, someone kissed someone, i cried....and then my whole night pretty much sucked from then on.

i have really nice friends. i got lots of hugs, and a lolly pop, and i danced away my tears.

then i walked to jive and i was actually ok. i finally caught up with james but we couldnt dance because there as no more music

so brett and i walked back to the cranka. i was ok. till about 3 seconds before we walked in.
but i danced again and everything was fine...ok anyway

best idea of the night~
me, jordan and jenny making plans to learn the moves to the pipettes songs. i think im gonna end up being gwenno cos jordan has dark hair and jenny wears glasses. our first video
The Pipettes - Pull Shapes


amusing conversation recap~

guy: wheres your boyfriend?
me: i dont have a boyfriend
guy: oh, well hi, my name is allan
me: hi allan
guy: (shaking my hand) something about boyfriends, i dont know, i wasnt listening because i was too busy crying at this point in time

later that night

allan: where's your boyfriend?
me: i dont have a boyfriend, allan
allan:...oh

literally 10 seconds later

allan: where's your boyfriend?
delaney: starts to answer, but i interrupt with this
me: aaahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
allan: (looks at me and walks away)

about 30 seconds later, me, delaney, jordan and jenny are dancing in a circle. allan tries to infiltrate

me: we all have boyfriends!
(close circle)

also

some guy: did you hear that?
me: no
some guy: that was the sound of our turn to dance
me: oh
at this point, i was fucked. i was sad, and i was tired, and i just didnt give a shit anymore, so i got up

and i danced

in the vicinity of him

some guy: you could at least show a little bit of interest in me
me: but im not interested in you
some guy: im the richest fishmonger here

i had absolutely no come back for that

instead i saw a nice boy and asked him if i may hang out with him for a bit

me: can i please hang out with you for a little while?
cute boy: sure, have a seat
then he said something and i cant remember what cos i recognised an accent and my warning alarms sounded, except that he was german
me: are you here for studying or a one year internship?
cute boy: no, just backpacking, we've been to kangaroo island

then i lost him

then i sat and waited until it was 6:30 in the morning, it was daylight outside, and miss delaney and i caught a taxi to her place where i slept until 2 in the afternoon, then got up and watched buffy

and now, after more tears and more naps, its 830 on the first of january

i hope this year is better than last
