that's exciting!! sydney/canberra is about an 8 hour drive away from melbourne which is where i'm located. when are you heading out here? i would consider it but we are saving for wedding v.2 and an overseas trip next may. but! if you're heading to melbourne (which is super amazing excellent, by the way haha) let me know and we can do a little dance, make a little love and basically get down. tonight.

from siopup :

um. i say "really" too much.

from siopup :

i did consider slurpees! but apparently you're not supposed to drink out of a straw - something about dry sockets? and i couldn't have anything too cold or it was agony. i did duck out for a chai latte though. heh. dressmaking is definitely not for me. first of all, i'm left handed, which means i could never use scissors as a child. now they have left handed scissors, yes, but i cannot cut a straight line to save myself. secondly, the whole process is very fiddly and i really fucking hate fiddly things. i have no patience and i was really miserable the entire class, just waiting for it to end. initially i thought it was a really neat idea, but it does not agree with me. i can't even thread a needle!

I left you a wacky note earlier this afternoon. I get that way when I'm tired, and starting to fall asleep over my laptop in places like Starbucks. I'm rested now, and your diary's really good--I read like four entries. I'm adding you to my faves. Ta ta.

from minstrelite :

Oh, now I remember you! My comment to you on my own thread probably now makes no sense in light of your comment to mine. Yes, my first amendment rights do seem to have been self-abridged of late. OMG! Friday night in the Village! Better not talk to the bicycle cop, cheerful friendly fellow that I am--all the paranoids in Hotel Tweak will think I'm some kind of a snitch or something. When was life normal? (I told you I was an artist, not a con artist.) And besides, what am I gonna say at the judgment seat of Christ? "Don't shoot me--I'm only the piano player!" probably ain't gonna fly. He he, thanks for reading, and don't forget to call for the two comp tickets on Opening Night. (j/k)

from minstrelite :

Hey, thanks for the note! You never know what kind of comment you're going to get when you started speaking your own ideas, rather than the whatever ideas you've been fed. But how did this country get started in the first place? By a number of people who felt free to speak their minds, to disagree, to be wrong, and to come to agreement even if they weren't in total agreement, because the time for that agreement had come. And only one man did not sign the Declaration of Independence, if my memory of history is true (John Dickenson.) It wasn't perfect, and it didn't build a perfect nation, but it brought us forward, and not backward. And sooner or later, that's what we're going to need to do today. You're right, too--it's too bad that everything's gotten so fragmented, segmented, disparate...we don't need now, as a people, and as a planet. Thanks for pitchin' in.

from siopup :

her boobs ARE big though. come on!

here's a company that makes turkish bread -- http://www.bazaarbreads.com.au/default.asp?page=/our+breads/turkish+bread. it's really quite yummy. it got popular here a few years ago, so it's in most restaurants now served warmed with olive oil/balsamic vinegar to dip it in. but we use it for toasted sandwiches (specificially the chicken/pineapple/bbq sauce combo). it's so good, i promise, if you can ever get your hands on some. i wouldn't lie to you.

from siopup :

scott wears boxer briefs. so i think they ARE supposed to hold his junk, but they're cheap (because HE'S cheap) and they have a gap in the front that fails to keep the junk in. he's no revolutionary. he's just too cheap to spend a few extra dollars on the good underwear. so i laugh. and laugh.

from siopup :

haha! i really like the idea that twix cleans my teeth while i'm eating it. i think i might just give that reply to anyone that asks.

from siopup :

i also like to dilute juice, but only cranberry. it's especially nice after a big weekend where too much flavor is overwheling but water makes you gag.

from naudia :

so i was reserarching "trappeur du kabi" and you came up under th esearch and it said that you read the book im doing a report on it . PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out on this one [email protected]

from siopup :

i've always wanted to go to a dance class!

from siopup :

a lot of the candy in the US you can get here. not a lot of hersheys stuff, nor nestle stuff. also our potato chips are crap in comparison, so scott's mom always sends us zapps (although i think this might be a southern thing). there aren't any mini muffins here, and i loooved them. there's no such thing as colby jack cheese here, but you probably can't send that over. stick gum from extra (the ones in a foil packet). there's really no such thing as chewy cookies except from mrs fields. no graham crackers. hmm, i'll keep thinking and let you know if i come up with anything else.

from iooi :

you're it (sorry in advance!)

from siopup :

i use turkey mince instead of beef, which isn't really less meat (duh) but it is lighter. and GAWD i love me some chili.

from ker :

YOU HAVE AN IPOD????????????? YOU DUMBASS!!!!!

from iooi :

hey! i'm not too unhappy, i just need a change.

from ker :

Well, THAT entry sounded like Bridget Jones.... :) especially "We need the protection!"

from ker :

i think there should be psychotic cats in there somewhere. cats are easy to write about. also, bring in a long-lost brother and a love-triangle. good, kitchy plot twists.

from ker :

dammit, now I REALLY want to read your novel.

from siopup :

i wanted to say - i LOVE fries in a sandwich.

from siopup :

yes, i don't think i've ever been so excited to download a song before. jimmy eat world + my favorite 80's song? dude. heaven. and yes, gnocchi is wonderful, but it's hard to find a place that does it well. if you ever come to melbourne, there is one place... oooh, my mouth is watering thinking about it.

from iooi :

hey thanks! i'm a night owl with a job too...

from siopup :

i don't know if this will help you - but i still feel a thrill when i see the husband. if we've both been working, and i'm home first, i cannot wait to hear his key in the door and then i usually jump him for smooches/hugs. there are times when we're in a routine, but the glowy doesn't go away completely - you'll get it back, it could be just a lull. you'll be dizzy and goofy all over again.

from siopup :

i have to burst the bubble. i haven't had a bath in years. i have many, many bath products collected from people over the years and i'm still not particularly motivated to have a bath and have since started giving the salts/creams/lotions/bubbles away. i just don't like them. down with bath salts! down with bath salts!
