//better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt//
yes kids it's april fools day.. hope noone got duped too badly. i didn't get up in time so there u go. i'm in two minds at the moment. i need a new stereo and i also need a mini disc recorder to back up my mp3s and to replace my ugly cd player thing [it looks prehistoric]. i really really really want to go and get one right now. why was i absent from the queue when patience was being dished out?? i am truly the most impatient and impulsive shopper in the world. if i want something bad enuff, i just go and get it, i don't want to wait till tomorrow, or shop around for deals, i just want to get it. i feel incomplete without it and when i get it, i am satisfied for a short while, until something else comes along to take it's place. i am the ultimate consumer. i have indisposable income, am credit worthy, marketing literate and i love to spend. i've read 'no logo' and i still don't care. kinda sad isn't it hehe
maybe i will set myself a challenge. i won't allow myself to buy a mini disc player or a stereo [both of which i need] until i have saved up enough money to put down a 50% deposit. both are $600. for those who know me well enuff this is a pretty big challenge, considering i see at least 3 things per day that i simply can't live without having. i can feel the cold sweat break out already!!
on a brighter note, my heathly eating regime is working better than it has done. i'm still drinking iced cawfee at a rate of knots [ bad girl], but i'm also eating salad and fruits every day [since sunday...not such a big thing really]. good news is i can fit into my jeans first go without stretching myself out on the bed and pretending i've got some sort of weight on my gut to get the buttons closed. this is good because i only just bought these jeans and they cost me almost $200!
on that note i'm off to make dinner. pasta and salad tonight...yum yum. anyway...back to my shallow existence...ching ching!!

//i can't believe it's not butter...no really, i can't//
well the overall consensus on the gaelic script tattoo is lame. help yourself is all i can say. i don't know what to get now it's even more confusing than ever and the deadline is looming ever close. i have to get it done when i'm back in adelaide so i can go to the ink pit - so any suggestions lame-o's?
nuthing much is happening here as per usual. still house hunting...still too lazy to really give it a good shot. really really really can't be bothered. might wait till i get back from adelaide and start fresh, then i'll have my car and who can fail with stinky at their side. i figure that i'm happy where i am, and i really don't want to live with lame ppl, so why rush? it's really a ridiculous process anyway. i looked at one the other day there and the room was gorgeous [has like a window box thing u can sit on, stained glass cupboard in the wall from ye old days and absolutely huge] but they had a big dog and there was a billion flys in the back garden no doubt because the dog craps everywhere so that really put me off. sigh...
i am very excited about going home. spoke to my friend mic the other day there and he hasn't been back in 2 years! dunno how he copes! need my fix of madness and nowhere more mad than adelaide [and not just meant in the sense of 'mad for it' mad - but also creepy mad hehe]. it's my first day off in a while so i'm going to check out the house scene then off to make lunch. today it is chicken salad - yum yum. today being the first day of some sort of effort [where have we heard this b4] to stop eating crap. i have already gotten off to a flying start by having weetbix for breakfast and a banana as a snack... minus points for the coffee tho but i did use lite start milk so help yourself. it's also curry for dinner tonight...yum yum roghan josh. now i'm making myself very hungry, and it's the sort of hunger that only kfc or something equally gross will quash...must resist... might go get a boost juice.
