My Place of Rambling

So, yeah

2009-09-02T01:13:55Z

I'm still alive, just terrible at remembering to post. I'm forgetful that way.

I'm halfway through my second year of uni, and as of yesterday, spring has sprung (thank god, summer is coming soon!)

I'm not unemployed anymore, I now have TWO jobs, as well as studying full time - I promise I'll do a big post later, but this is the rough update!
I should be cleaning for the cleaner.
Oh well.

How is everyone??

Blargh to essays

2008-11-01T07:09:28Z

Freaking out a bit here. Uni has almost finished, we've got a few weeks left including SWOTVac, and stuff. I think I'm okay on the prac sides of things, except for the self portrait, stretcher for the night scene, and aquiring a large lump of silver for jewellery.

I hate writing essays. I really loathe them, to the very depths of...me. I can't stand them. I freak out when I write them, I think this has something to do with my life going down the gurgler a few months ago, when I was writing essays. My counsellor says I now subconciously think that essays and bad things go together. I don't think I just think that, I'm pretty sure I know it.

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

better get back to it or i will fail

write something more coherent later.

eep

2008-07-29T05:05:45Z

I will most likely cry if those 'spoilers' are true. I skimmed over them. It's ridiculous. I hope it's overactive fandom imaginations running wild... because... otherwise?
Yeah. Cait won't be happy!
I SHALL NOT EVEN SKIM ANYMORE SPOILERS UNTIL I HAVE THE BOOK IN MY HANDS ON MONDAY!
Gah.

STUFF

2008-05-14T05:04:11Z

OH - I've been making some icons. Anyone wanna see? I have Bleach and Twilight.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer rocks my socks.
I love the Twilight teaser trailer - I cannot wait until August. Maybe earlier for the Aussies again?
Laura and I have never fangirled so hard. Neither of us call ourselves fangirls on a regular basis!
I'm so broke it's not funny, and I HATE money now.
Bleach rocks my socks. Awwww at lil Shuu and Byakuya. And Kensei.

MY LIFE IS A SOAP OPERA. And it's seriously shitting me off. Apparently, I could write a bestseller,
if I changed names, dates, and places. One of my friends thought I was overreacting until she saw
me out one night, and she agrees - my life is a soap opera, and I have no idea what to do about it.

I have unaddicted myself from coffee. I didn't drink it for a month, the shaking stopped. It's good. I
have now had four coffees over two weeks. I get a free one from the uni cafe, because they missed
me begging for coffee in the mornings!

Boys. Boys confuse the HELL out of me. I'm so confused. :S
It's a long story. Part of my soapopera.
If you wanna know, ask. :P

I'm sorry this is so .... meh. I have no idea what to write....

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

2008-04-26T05:38:18Z

No spoilers, don't worry. I haven't even opened it yet.
Because Australia gets the UK version, *evil laugh* I now have a copy of the host which I shall begin to read as soon as I finish eating, and this.
SO EXCITED!!
And Bleach - ftw - i'm a happy fangirl indeed. So happy happy happy!!!

Life update 3

2008-03-16T03:28:09Z

I. Can't. Effing. Relax.

I'm tense, my back, shoulders and neck ache, and I can't stop thinking. Can anyone meditate? Does it work? Is it good? Would you recommend it to me, and how the hell do I do it???
I was seriously stressed for about six months, I got over that, and now it's back. Thank FUCK I'm not depressed - I think I'd know if I was.

Just really really highly-strung and wound up. I feel like I'm about to snap (not angrily, or anything). I just want my muscles to melt and my mind to stop overanalysing everything.

"Let your mind go blank - think about nothing,' someone suggested to me. Fat lot of good that did. I started thinking about how if nothing is named as such, then it's something, because it's been named, and the whole concept of nothing is screwed because it's there - so it's something! AAAAGHHHHH!

And you know what the worst thing is? I'm really happy. I'm not mopey, or morose. I've started uni, moved, etc, all I really have to worry about is my coursework (which I'll be doing in a minute), and money. I've met some awesome people, I'm having bucketloads of fun, I sort of have a boyfriend, and it's just generally awesome. I just can't relax.

I want to write. I want to write so bad. Someone please give me a prompt, and what kind of genre you want it in - but I don't do smut, sorry, I'm not brave enough yet :P. I'll take more than one prompt...

I feel like I'm neglecting my fandom... lol

On another note, I saw Tiger Army on Wednesday. I'm in more love now than I was to begin with. And that's a LOT of love. They're fucking awesome. The second support band was good, the first was crapful. They were arrogant and had horrible stage presence.
for example:
WARNING - LANGUAGE :P

'ADELAIDE, MAKE SOME NOISE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!'
*pause* someone from the audience - 'Get fucked. It's too hot.' It was. We've had like 11 days in a row over 35 degrees Celcisus. It's stupid.
'TIGER ARMY IS COMING UP AFTER US AND ZOMBIE GHOST TRAIN - ARE YOU EXCITED, MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE!'
*pause* same guy - 'I said, get fucked, and get off stage. We don't want to see you, and it's too hot.'
'ADELAIDE IS LIVING UP TO THEIR REPUTATION YOU SHITSUCKING MOTHERFUCKERS - ARE YOU EXCITED OR NOT!?'
'Listen, MATE. You're SHIT, we don't give a CRAP, it's TOO FUCKING HOT and we're not here to see you - PISS THE FUCK OFF!!!!'
You should've seen the bassist's face (he was the one yelling at us), he just sort of went, 'unh', and went back to playing, but most of us turned around and went back to the bar and seating.
After that, though, it was a good night!

I'm also trying to stop swearing so much, I swear like someone who swears way too much entirely for their own good. I have an excellent vocabulary, I should take advantage of that.

Music Meme thing

2008-02-27T12:22:01Z

Tagged by stark_black
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Live Journal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

Righty-o. Let's get to it! Warning: I like pretty much ALL music, but this is just right now.

1.) God Called In Sick Today - by AFI. This was the first song I heard by AFI. It started a serious addiction. I think it's beautiful. 'Ominpotence, nurturing malevolence' is quite possibly my all time favourite line. And live ? Unbloodybelievable! could only find the 'I heard a voice' link

2.) Slam - by Pendulum. It's just good. Gets the blood pumping, turn it up loud and feel the bass run through your veins! I listen to this whenever I need a boost. It's just vibrant and violent.

3.) UFO - by Sneaky Sound System. She has a strong voice, and it always reminds me of my friends.

4.) Scorpion Frog - by Infected Mushroom. I love psytrance, my sister made me listen to this song, it got me hooked. It's fucking intricate. I lose myself in this.

5.) The Lost Song - by The Cat Empire. These guys are so good, and are tight live. Harry's vocals are raw and the trumpet is silky, smooth, and hot. And oh so sad. It's just... good. ~~I personally want to marry their trom player~~

6.) Under Saturn's Shadow- by Tiger Army. They just rock my socks. If I were wearing them, anyway. I love it! ~~I get to see them live soon!~~

7.) [explain] - by Sarah Blasko. No particular reason. I like it.

Sorry about the crapful links ;)

TAGGING -
I don't actually have seven friends. And stark_black tagged me, so I tag falls_whisper, deathlike, evergrnterrace, grass_angel!</div>

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Friday I farted in an elevator (-6 points). Last week I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In September I turned grass_angel in for tearing the tag off a mattress (3 points). In May I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). In August I helped deathlike across the street (6 points).

Overall, I've been nice (23 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set!

Sincerely,
cait-rose

Free pints of beer, you say?

2007-12-22T05:34:56Z

I'm about to go read the new Bleach, I just got home from work. 'Silly season' must have got to us, we're all a little mad here.

We had the town street party last night. It was so boring, we all started drinking early, I started at 7ish, which is why I was completely suprised when I woke up this morning bursting with energy and feeling just fine... when I had to sleep on my right side all night... because if I moved the world spun horribly. Interesting.

Where's my hangover? Not that I'm complaining that I don't have it, it's just strange. I was pretty drunk ~~no thanks to all that free beer and spirits!~~.

Damn Christmas, going out again tonight, however I am driving myself so I shall be good and not drink. I've heard all the horror stories, seen the results, etc etc. I am not going to drink and drive. I can have fun without drinking!

Yay for new Bleach. Shall go read it now.

And if I don't post between now and then again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Uni

2007-12-17T04:32:43Z

Trying to find accomodation is a pain in the ass, seriously. The boarding colleges are so expensive per week it isn't funny, I forgot how they seem only to cater to rich farmers and other snobby families. The student hostels are a better option.
Of course, I could live with Mum, but I'd prefer that to be an absolute last resort, and a desperate and temporary one at that. We do get along okay, but she hasn't really asked if I want to live with her... I suppose having one of the twins already is fine with her.
Gah.
Car won't start.

I'm going to the gym later, combat class. Sounds like fun, last week they had the attack class in it's place, and that was aerobics. *shrugs*

Fer shits n giggles

2007-12-08T11:30:25Z

Because it's almost the end of the year, we've finished school and all that, my friends and I decided to write lists of random funny, sad, scary, and weird moments throughout the past five years, and covering everything from past groups, adventures, and conversations... here's some of mine :D

1. Eben Bo Heim –possibly THE funniest MSN conversation ever. I don’t think I have ever cried from laughing so much in one small time-frame. 'What the hell is Eben bo Heim, Lera?!'

2. Kristy bopping away to ‘Can You Hear Australia’s Heroes Marching’ on Rememberance Day.

3. Beating Nikky in OzSpell :P – and getting to see a real-life shoplifter when going shopping after having gotten out in the second round because of stage-fright

4. ‘She’s afraid of slugs!’ And Nikky spitting her chewy out into the bus’ aisle, and having to go pick it up, much to ours and the old woman’s amusement.

5. Beth snorting hot chocolate and chunks of Tim-Tam out of her nose.

6. ‘Excuse me, sir, but what’s a red herring?’

7. Triple J One Night Stand, Port Pirie, 2006

8. AFI, Thebarton Theatre, 2006

9. When Mum walked in on Nikky, Beth, Belle and I swearing our heads off, having just illustrated a piece of paper with words such as ‘Fuck’ and some charming stick figures, and then having Jack walk in and introduce himself like a nice boy.

10. ‘Kaht-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, vhy, vhy are you so wrude to me? Vhy must you always be so SO wrude, Kaht-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?’

‘I’M NOT BEING RUDE, YOU HAG!’

11. Getting to go on the high-ropes course and flying fox for free on Year 10 Work Experience, and having a bunch of 11 and 12 year olds encourage me to face my fears.

12. Dyeing my hair a horribly radioactive orange by accident, when all I wanted to do was have an eight-wash brown rinse.

13. ‘The only other way down is the ladder. See all those cadets? They’re waiting for you… just hold on, you’ll be fine.’ ‘Okay, but, Sergeant, are you sure-’ ‘Corporal - Look! Over there! Wow!’ …Push

14. Having some guy try to sell me and the Japanese exchange teacher home loans. Because we clearly needed them.

15. That freaky lady in the mall who chased some young man down, asking if he knew how to French kiss, then she grabbed me, told me she was going to get him, ran to him, grabbed his shoulders, and air kissed him. She came back to me, and informed me she’d gotten him.

16. Falling asleep in the spa.

17. Having the oven Tamara was trying to light blow up in my face.

18. That night where we drunkenly climbed onto the roof, remembered I was scared of heights, and promptly freaked out – completely, and ended up being carried off the roof by my sisters friends, who have never let me forget it!

19. Every man and his dog who was at the gig

20. Rapid Bay

a. Swimming in the thunderstorm when the water was an eery green colour

b. ‘Nikky, in the morning, in the morning when I’m sober, I’m gonna take your Mum for a ride.’

c. ‘It’s too far away…’

d. Death Is NOT An Option – death is ALWAYS an option!

e. The drunk Germans

21. ‘Go away, we’re not here!’ ‘It’s not us!’ It wasn’t them.

22. The Cactus House

23. ‘It’s shiny!’ ‘It’s sparkly!’

24. Taking Nikky to the river with us, her getting sunburnt on the back of her knees whilst kneeboarding; Mum not realising that the air-conditioner was off on an above 43 degrees Celcius day; Nikky being afraid to kneeboard because she thought Spike’s portwine birthmark was a scar from a skiing accident.

25. ‘Danger’, ‘Response’, ‘Airways’, ‘Breathing’, ‘Cuddles’. Because they might want their mum.

26. Passing out from eating the rice pudding, and having Vanessa pretend to be me whilst Nikky hid her from our Secco.

27. The pizza, movies and music night of AFX Engineers ‘05.

28. ‘Look, there’s that FUCKING UGLY Asian chick from Neighbours –’ ‘She can hear you!’

‘Look, fuckin’ gay poofters –’ ‘Shhhh, they can hear you!’

29. Dad setting the barbecue alight. ‘It’s just a fat fire, it’ll go out soon...’ ‘Hey, Cait, did you see all that black smoke last night; do you know what it was?’ ‘Yeah, my barbecue.’

30. ‘I think the trumpets need to be louder.’ *open-mouthed silence*

31. Playing a completely different song, out of time, and dancing – yet the conductor still ignored us, and at the end of the night – ‘Thanks to the clarinets, flutes, saxophones, percussion, guitars, pianos… and the trombones... I didn’t know we had them?’

32. Mr B’s chocolate cake that involved way too much chocolate, much to the happiness of his class.

33. Cheryl’s jokes!

34. ‘Well, blow me down and call me Charlie.’ ‘… Can I just call you Charlie?’ ‘No, you have to blow me, too!’

35. Baked Beans Bad, Sausages Good

36. When alcohol is involved, I have learnt that

a. When people have been drinking, you WILL have to put up with drunken stripteases, and you CANNOT GET AWAY

b. You will have to convince people it is NOT a good idea to eat the dog food, eat some carrot instead

c. You will have chewed up carrot spat onto you because they cannot talk without spitting

d. You will have to clean up puke with the consistency of water that smells like Cougar bourbon, leaving you forever unable to drink bourbon.

e. You are sober because someone already drank it

f. You are not drunk, just a little confused

g. Fire burns

h. When someone is drunk, they will try to convince you that they are sone stold cober, with much arm-waving, hugging, finger-waggling, and professions of love and adoration.

i. Keep your dog away from the gummy worms soaked in vodka. She will eat them.

37. ‘You’re the suckiest suck that I ever sucked!’ … Poor Lera. That turned out so wrong from what she meant to say…

38. The supermarket trolley full of booze, Erica, Bradley, Trent and Kristy, and empty night time streets are dangerous but oh so fun!

39. ‘Look, it has a retractable penis!’ ‘They’re on our lunch!’ ‘GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME, YOU DIRTY-MINDED LITTLE GUTTER-CRAWLER!’ – On ladybugs and their fornication habits.

Good Day

2007-10-22T08:17:17Z

I've actually had a pretty good day.
I didn't think it'd be this good, but it's been fun so far!
My friend Lera and I went to the city yesterday, caught the bus down, so we could go to a revision seminar for an open access lesson, which us country kids do when our schools doesn't have the facilities or courses available. Strange, you'd think that SACE Aust. Hist. would be more common....

So yeah, it was so hot yesterday, shorts and t-shirts all they way, and this morning it was grey and coldish. So, my stepfather drops us off in the general vicinity of where we needed to be and we decided to kill some time by figuring out where we needed to be by going there.
Once we got there, we couldn't be stuffed killing more time by going back, so we just stayed.
So, lots and lots of revision, writing, and stuff, but it was, strangly, fun, especially seeing the people you only talk to on the phone every tues.
Lunch was hilarious, and eventually the ocurse ended and we had to get back to my mothers.... so... crap - what bus do we get????
Country bumpkins, that's us.

So Eleanor convinced her dad to drop us off in the city, so when we got there, Lera and I jumped out the car into a large puddle onKing William, and proceeded to move quickly to the train station, pausing only for me to remove my shoes as they were hampering my amused running. Yes, I looked like a bogan!

Fun times, running from the train down hills and up them with no shoes on and a helluva lotta rain. I wasn't even puffed! I am SO proud lol, not really, but, meh. It was fun.
Love the smell of rain, and this was a completely pointless post but to say I have wet pants to my knees from y ankles and blisters and cuts on my feet, but GODDAMNIT I'm happy!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote this over a year ago

2007-09-24T09:54:34Z

I hope this works, I've stuffed it up every other (three) times I've tried,
I'm sorry!

No one's reading this, but, meh.

She was in a sea of moving bodies, jumping in time to the music, screaming lyrics until they lost their voices.

It was hot and undeniably sweaty, dark and steamy, the air thick and rotting with the stench of human sweat, deodorant, perfume, food, alcohol, blood and piss.

‘It’s a moshpit, honey – get over it!’ The yelled comment was punctuated with an elbow to the ribs as she fought to keep standing. She had already fallen over once when she’d been pushed violently to the left and had lost her balance, meeting the ground quickly. She’d been trodden on, kicked and had been screaming and swearing for someone to save her. She heard her friend screaming her name as rabid fans and non-fans - why were they there? Oh, free music - alike swarmed over her, seemingly unaware that she lay squashed, fighting to stand.

She looked upward towards the distant sky where the steam from the sweaty crowd was meeting the misting sky. Everyone looked bigger and uglier, faces shadowed eerily by the stage light, eyes red and features distorted.

She screamed and clawed at the people on top of her to try and get up, frustrated and vaguely terrified that she’d die crushed, and was viciously kicked again as she felt arms lift her up, and her friend hug her. The two boys who had ‘rescued’ her still held her and her friend, and one had confronted the elbower and his girlfriend.

‘They fall down, you pick them up. They get hurt, you get them out. You’re all here to see the music and the show; you’ve got a common cause! Don’t be so fucking selfish, stick together, and mate? If you’re going to make out with your girlfriend and hurt others, get the fuck out so those who aren’t can see the band!’ He and a group of others pushed the couple out the way, and she was scooted forwards, holding her friend’s hand for dear life. She thanked the guy over her shoulder, and he grinned, informing her that he was happy to help the fallen and vertically challenged.
