i got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. not as bad as i thought it would be.. had to be at the hospital by 7:30am, which by my books is damn early :P but the staff at the hospital were real nice and friendly, so it was cool. i was put on an IV drip, and when it ran out, my blood kinda went into the tube. that was a bit gross. anyways, i’m feeling ok now.. i was so woozy yesterday, felt like i was in a daze. the only problem now is remembering to take the antibiotic after eating. i remember the painkillers (cos if i don’t, it hurts!). and thanks to my friends who sms’d and msg’d me to wish me well, i appreciate it! i will be up and ready to go soon i hope!

other than that, i watched the Two Towers extended edition DVD last night. cos mum wanted to see it. i’m glad they put in the extra bits they did. especially the ent wine stuff that shows why merry and pippin grew taller :D my parents don’t really like all that fantasy stuff, so dad was complaining throughout the whole movie.. but hey, i love it, and nothing can stop me from loving it! can’t wait till the third one comes out… especially the extended edition, i can watch all three and it’ll take like 13 hours or something. HAHA that’ll be a blast!

anyways, i best be off, su will be here soon. she got her wisdom’s out on wednesday (day before me), so she’s here to eat ice-cream and jelly with me (:

hrm. i feel weird. i was happy earlier today. went shopping with my mum, bought a whole bunch of stuff (not worth listing, just fun to shop really). but now, i feel kinda down. and i’m not sure why. like i was on the phone to mike, and i knew i was snapping, but i couldn’t stop myself, yet stuff was irritating me. dunno, guess just wasn’t in the mood for it. i think also cos i’ve told him before that i don’t like it when he jokes about meeting up when he knows we can’t. and he did. and i was just like… yeah well. i know he means well, just not good when i’m not in a good mood i s’pose. cos i take it the wrong way. geh. too much to think about.

on the other hand. i saw a bionicle electric toothbrush today. which looked pretty damn groovy. and i have half a mind to buy it. it’s only $12, and well, it’s unusual enough to warrant being in my ‘collection’ of weird collector’s stuff. i might go for the black one. we’ll see (: it’s that or a DVD. the upside of a DVD is being able to watch it on friday/saturday/sunday whilst bemoaning having had my wisdom’s out. altho, tmr i’ll be getting extended edition Two Towers off iris. so maybe that’ll be enough for me to survive on. plus some season six buffy. yes yes! and if i get desperate, i’ll just watch stuff i’ve watched before. (: yes yes. that will work!

ok. this is it. i’m going to conquer that bloody 5 player TD (tower defense) map if it’s the LAST THING I DO. it’s really starting to shit me :P we played it before exams.. stopped for exams, and have started playing again. we’re getting better, yes we are. but god dang (i can’t say damn cos su doesn’t like me swearing) WE JUST CAN’T WIN. there has got to be a way. the map is not invincible. i won’t let it be! HAH! take that! i think i’m a bit… delusional. but hey… that’s what ppl love about me right? RIGHT?!

hrm.. the holidays seem so hectic. i seem to have heaps of things to do, and not enough time to do it in. and then there’s this list in my head, to keep track of it all. and i keep having to reshuffle it and then i forget, and lose track of things. i keep worrying i’ve forgotten something important and it’ll bite me in the arse. i’m sure it will one day. i can’t wait till manda gets me that organiser. i’ll be organised.. or something :D

so i’m sitting here, extremely drained and exhausted.. cos of su’s 21st (= which was a whole heap of fun :D pity i only got to play 2 games of skirmish, however, running around in the rain was pretty fun…. even sticking my knee into a puddle of mud was fun! altho having my knee slide out from under me was not fun. it was extremely hot and sweaty tho, so lucky it was a cold day, or i would’ve died! well, not really, but you know what i mean.

anyways, CONGRATS ON ENGLAND FOR WINNING the Rugby World Cup! i was the ONLY one going for england.. we were watching the game, and england would score and i’d be like “GO ENGLAND!” and all my friends would look at me funny |: but hey, it was a good game, no matter who won, and definitely thrilling stuff (: considering i don’t usually follow the rugby or anything like that, it was good for me (= altho, i do think it’s an unnecessarily VIOLENT sport.. i mean, look at the number of injuries, and you just see all this blood spurting out everywhere… i still prefer league :P

well, the fruits of ‘operation snapshot’ were reaped last night, as we were finally able to unveil su’s 14 month calendar. and i for one will say that it turned out DAMN GOOD! after all the stress, and the heartache and getting pissed off :P it was finally put together, and printed off by mike (to whom much thanks is owed…) and yeah.. so much better than i expected :P she also like the bridgeclimb (= so yeah.. it’s all good (: still waiting to see her reaction to the water cannon WAHAHAHA :P i’m excited about that.

i dunno, i have a lot of thoughts lately about ppl and birthday presents and the like. but i don’t know if i should write them all. i guess it’s more just, i don’t understand why so many ppl have complained about presents and stuff. i guess because putting a monetary value on it never appealed to me.. and there are some things that just can’t be valued in monetary terms. i will not understand why some ppl will compare, but yet i understand that it is a natural human reaction to do so. either way, i’m sick of it. and wish some ppl could just get over it, but maybe that’s not possible. i think these days, ppl are too absorbed in themselves, always looking at themselves, without realising the ppl around them. how their actions have consequences and what repercussions, and how it’s always left down to a few of the strong to pick up the pieces. but maybe that’s not a bad thing… maybe it makes *others* realise these things, and change it in themselves. maybe i think too much. my head hurts.

in any case, i’m far too tired to be sitting here thinking about these things, as they will only further depress me, and why do that when i can be playing wc3?

well, early early this morning (1am) i typed up some stuff for this. and then i was gonna finish it after i slept. instead, i installed wc3, and when i went to play it, my computer crashed. so here i am, starting all over again.. trying to remember all the things i wanted to say.

firstly. exams. that’s the reason i haven’t written for nearly two weeks. i hate them with a vengeance. simply because of what they do to me. how stressed i get, the lack of sleep, the feeling that my head will explode. can’t really take it anymore.. it’s just getting too much. so, the lowdown on my exams is:

phys2203 – might pass
ecmt1020 – should pass
elec2301 – probably fail
acct2001 – probably fail
elec3601 – should pass
elec2401 – probably fail

which brings me to a total of 3 fails and 3 passes. essentially. which really is not a good thing. i am so sick of uni. thankgod it’s the holidays!!!!

what else has been going on? lots of stuff…
a lot of which has been su’s 21st present. especially the group one. there’s been a lot of covert work in ‘operation snapshot’. but, even if i say so myself, it’s a damn good calendar. i mean, 14 months, with captions, in full colour, of our group. excellent group effort, and it was pretty fun too. getting the photos taken, and then selecting the ones for the calendar, as well as cutting them and cropping them to make the end result. pity it’s been the main source of my lack of sleep LOL (= on the other hand, the BridgeClimb tickets were a synch! got the address off the website, and went for a little trek (which then turned out to be a BIG trek) with brendon around the Rocks after my 3601 exam… bought the tickets and felt very poor afterwards hehe. altho, i think she’ll like it. i made her a card today… calligraphy and everything.. i’ve forgotten how hard it is to write with them, especially as a left hander, so i ended up with ink all over my hands HAHAHA.. that was a real riot. but i am impressed with my effort :D and that’s that. wait till tmr to see the results :P and then saturday to see the other results. :P

went to uni to study again. didn’t really get much done, but had some good conversations about marriage and de facto relationships. seem to be having more convos related to those topics now. maybe it’s a reflection of where we are in our lives. maybe we’re just readying ourselves for the next stage. wondering what it’ll be like when we get there…

had a great time today, taking more photos for operation snapshot (: chez, angie and i did charlie’s angels poses in our pyjamas. poor su, she knew we walked out, but had no idea where we went or why. it was pretty funny tho, cos she came looking for us, so we had to get changed back out of our pj’s. and then, when the coast was clear, we scurried from elec eng. to mechanical eng. to throw her off the trail. mind you, this was with the three of us wearing boxers and t-shirts, looking like idiots. or, ‘real engineers’ :P it’s not everyday you get to walk around uni in your pj’s, so that’s definitely an experience to remember!

trying to get back to my sleep-before-12 regime… plus i’m feeling sick in the stomach. probs something i ate. i hope it’s not stress.
