number nine.

DOING

crocheting and reading, I got back from my holiday away yesterday, didn't make it the whole week which is a little disappointing however I had a good time while I was there, just couldn't handle the copious amounts of people alcohol and loud (and often bad) music. The place we stayed at was absolutely stunning, a farm with a lake that has been converted into holiday accommodation and that is surrounded by thick bush and ridges and valleys, it is incredibly secluded, a good setting for a horror film... Anyway, both nights were extremely raucous and fun, I was first in bed both nights and also the most awake both days, a friend and I walked along through one of the valleys and then up the ridge and sat and listened to nature for a while, it was amazing, we came back and chilled with everyone around the fire. The days were spent watching True Blood, a vampire series (pretty terrible), reading, paddling on the paddle boat around the lake, getting stranded and having to be saved, making fires, crocheting, listening to music, talking and eating, and of course the nights were spent drinking, dancing, singing, spaing, talking, smoking and covering a friends car in 800 metres of glad wrap (the best practical joke ever considering most of the group walked past at one stage or another and didn't notice), this was completed with a cardboard sign saying “happy birthday jack, here's your new car”, it wasn't his birthday.

I came back to Melbourne with a friend and had a four hour nap and haven't done anything besides crocheting and reading since, I like it this way.

WATCHING

Secretary- awesome, a romance love story about an S and M couple, what a fantastic idea, the movie is great, it starts strangely and sets itself up as a raunchy sexy movie and then by the end of it it's a romantic chick flick, I just adored the story and thought it was extremely smart, yay for smart movies.

True Blood – not worth it.

Clueless – an old favourite of course, very funny, and sentimental as most of us grew up with this movie.

READING

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest – so far interesting, definitely glad I read the introduction first. I will keep you updated on how it is going.

MAKING

A crocheted blanket big enough to cover my double bed, I'm not working with a pattern or anything, just using alternating colours (pink, navy, dark purple and light purple) and seeing how I go, I'll also be starting some for friends soon. Other than this I'm looking forward to starting some felting, mostly brooches and small toys, I'm also looking at soft doll making, this is all pending on me getting some money first as I have none.

FEELING

OK, I don't feel like going into it. Needless to say that everything is strange.

NEEDING

still a job, I'm browsing seek, and the Monash job site every day and finding nothing, I really need something low key, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, hopefully if I keep looking I'll find something eventually, if not then I'll start pissing everyone off about getting me a job wherever they work.

NEXT WEEK

Rehearsals...ugh.
