People who complain about Halloween disappoint me. Like...shit, women dressed up as naughty nurses, police officers, etc. and you're COMPLAINING? Are you a Eunuch?

I fucking hated this. Especially when if applying for an extension they will reject it based around that you have to have "the same amount of time as everybody else" (so from x class to x class). But then that goes out the window whenever it suits them or their favourite students. Just another reason why I can't face going back to studying there.

WGMG: Going away on a holiday and to see a friend get married when she informs me upon my arrival that I'm going to be her 'best man' and spend the next 4 days running around so that this wedding actually happens.

WGMGEM: The girl in question professing on the eve of the wedding that she still has strong feelings for me. Way to make the wedding the most difficult thing I've ever done.

Shit, sounds like something out of hollywood, without the impending happy ending.
I hope you manage to get through ok.

Yeah, I made it through hiding behind sunglasses most of the day. I'm pretty sure it's been made into a movie already. It's the kind of role played by Hugh Grant :lol: Except in the whole 'speak now or forever hold your peace' thing he'd have said something and then run away with the girl and lived happily ever after. What a jerk Hollywood is.

Afro, dudemanbro... Im in the same boat. Told her Im not going to her wedding. Remains to be seen if I will.

Good call. Good you know in advance and it's not coming tumbling out on the eve of the wedding. If I'd have known I'd probably not have gone.

:lol:
That's messed man

WGMG: Too many thoughts, too much going on. I swear I just need a day to forget about everything, which unfortunately isn't really possible with exams next week.

You could always get a lobotomy.

WGMG: Run out of hay fever medication.

I found I used to have quite bad hayfever and go through a butt-load of anti-histamines. I found a practical solution though: Only go out at night.

I get it just staying in my house anyway, pretty sure my horrible carpet triggers it as well.

Do you not vacuum enough? :lol: Dusty house?

My carpet is quite old and horrible, and traps all that sort of dirt and dust stuff so it's hard to suck up with the vacuum cleaner. Other than that, I don't live in a particularly dirty house, far from it in fact.

Steam clean it? The difference that makes is huge.

WGMG: When you inadvertently inhale a hair.

Maybe, but it's not terrible and only really causes it if I'm already having hay fever problems. Never an issue in Autumn and Winter, or when I take some medication of course.

You shouldn't need to be on antihistamines on a daily basis though.

WGMG: The school fucked up my report. Everyone's says what school trips they were part of, if they were sports captains or school councillors etc. Mine has none of that :(

WGMG: The one person I knew going to Soundwave isn't going anymore.

If you get me a ticket, I'll go.

You're not able to get them to print you a new one with those details included are you?

Okay, I'm just snapping here because no one in my house is awake for me to bitch to...

WGMG: People bitching about the shit battery life of smartphones. From what I understand, battery cell technology is not only lagging but simply cannot keep up with the changing electronics and network demands. Of course doesn't help when some of the said douchebags demand they be able to spend hours browsing a white-screened Facebook and watch YouTube video on-end.

On that note, given western society's high and increasing demand for consumer electronics, it seems doing a little bit of research into the technology behind devices people bitch about is too much to ask, fucking simpletons. I don't expect people to be experts, or even take interest, but you should at least seek answers/solutions to your problem rather than just ignorantly attempting to slam manufacturers. To me the term Digital Native is becoming increasingly ironic and 'consumer' is becoming synonymous with numpties.

/rant - feel much better :lol:

The phones can go for three or four days if you don't use them. But the second you make a phone call, jump on a web browser or open up an app you're going to start burning through the battery, which is fucking pointless. The batteries simply can't keep up with the resources of the phones.

Is that because you were none of the above? :lol: :lol: :lol:

WGMG: Have to start going for a few runs a week. I'm getting too unfit. My hamstrings and calves are killing me.
WGMG: People who go down Mt Ousley faster in the rain and mist than on a clear day.
WGMG: Coming in to talk with a lecturer and finding out when I get here he was called to a meeting in Sydney just this morning.
WGMG: School kids are on all the only computers I can use to do work on and I can't kick them off because it is some uni promotional workshop.

I'm going but

WGMG: Having to leave Melbourne.

WGMG: Eat Paleo for over a year, lose a bunch of weight and do not get sick once. I stop eating Paleo for a few weeks out of convenience & sheer exhaustion after my daughter was born, and nearly immediately fall sick with the worst cold ever.

Damn. I'm coming down for NY but I'm gonna try to stay for at least 2 weeks. My uncle built a pretty big house with a few spare rooms so I can just crash there. I like being in Melbourne.

Nobody 'has' to leave Melbourne. They're just not cool enough to stay.

:lol:

What's the best place to watch Liverpool games when I'm down there? I can't remember if Crown has a sports bar-y thing?
