I'm in the middle of a lovely dream, then suddenly it gets pissing interrupted by Hannah Montana - Best of Both Worlds. Don't get me wrong I love this song but to interupt my dream like that is just RUDE. Eventually halfway through the first verse I wake up with a start and realise it's actually my phone going off. Still half asleep I have a look at who the hell would be stupid enough to text me at bloody 9.30 in the morning.. Tim, apparently. He says he's back in Sydney and wants to know what we're doing today. Last time I saw him it hadn't been an all too thrilling night.. hmmmm.. Anyway first thing I do is get my head into gear for more job hunting, because the bastards from the hotel bar ... read more

Holy cow why did I get Mcdonalds last night? My stomach is feeling like it's on a complete frenzy, definitely a trip to the toilet later. Never having a maccies again, ever. That's an obvious lie but still it made me feel SO sick. To be fair I did overly stuff myself with chicken nuggets even after a LARGE mcchicken sandwich meal, I'm such a numpty. Jumped straight in the shower to freshen up, not appreciating the spider lurking in the bathroom. Susie Lewis doesn't do spiders.. no way! Thankfully Marc did the honours of flushing it down the toilet. Super Marc! Definitely sorting my laptop out today so me and Zoebird headed to the city. Took my netbook to a place called computer world.. discovered it's definitely my cable that is dead and not the ... read more

Both me and Marc had delicious lie-ins today. My eye has developed a juicy black eye and my arm feels like it's been punched from my Tetanus jab. Lazed about for a bit until realising I actually should get my ass into gear and try and get my laptop sorted. I had arranged to meet Nadia at the wake up at 4 because it was the 2nd to last day to see Michael Jacksons 'This Is It' and on Tuesdays it's half the price at the cinema.. bonus! Eventually once I was ready there didn't seem much point actually taking my laptop today because it meant carrying it around all day because we planned on going for drinks after. So me and Zoebird set off to the train station, but not before stopping by in a ... read more

Oh my god nothing felt better than waking up in MY bed.. not some bed that will be someone elses bed next week, but MINE! It felt odd also not awakening to a whole room of people talking and loud 'WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP' speakrs going off at 10am or something silly. It did feel nice though.. I quite like it just being us. Somehow the thought of being in a room alone doesn't seem quite as appetising to me right now. It's nice having people around even if sometimes it is a bit like errrr give me some privacy please. But at least this time it's with people i've known years and feel comfortable with and stuff. SOOOOO because Zoebird passed out stupidly early last night, she also woke up stupidly early, which ... read more

Time to pack again, what an actual bore. Luckily I was a bit more organised than last time and didn't take me quite as long! Also our landlord is actually picking us up later and taking us to the house so it means I don't need to carry my bastard backpack around. We said goodbye to our room, aw it was quite upsetting and then checked out. They have huge lockers at the wake up which means we could put all our stuff in there during the day whilst waiting to move in later, awesome stuff. Finally got another grilled chicken and avacado sandwich from the cafe! Been craving one since I had one the first week but they had always sold out.. but I got the last one yay! Predictably to pass the time we ... read more

Woke up at 4.30am still wasted and needing a piss. I think I tripped over a few things along the way and I don't ACTUALLY remember the journey to the toilet.. but I'm pretty sure I made it. Collapsed straight back into bed and then got woken up again about 8. Where the hell was Zoebird? Why wasn't she in her bed? I couldn't even remember and go into panic mode because just before I woke I had a dream that I was with Zoe and then she randomly went missing and I was searching up and down the beach for her but she was just gone. So when I woke up and found her missing I was like WTF, ZOE HAS DISAPPEARED INTO THE SEA etc etc. I text her in panic asking where she ... read more

So it's Thursday and I have that interview for the freespirit thing today! I still wasn't entirely sure what it was so I went to the internet cafe to see what I had actually applied for. Discovered free spirit is actually an employment agency that help travellers, but the job I had applied for through them was someone for a hotel to take inbound reservations etc, the pay is good and it looked damn worth going to. So I get all dressed up for the interview.. put on the fricking black shirt and trousers I had bought for the catering job. They were smelly but I honestly didn't know what else to wear. It was a pretty straight forward place to find, only about 15 minutes down the main high street so I was feeling pretty ... read more

Woke up still raging. I definitely was not making ANY effort to speak to dicksville today. From the moment I woke up, that was it.. the ice-stare was thrown. They didn't speak to me either and left, nobheads! Later on in the day I re-dyed my hair and was getting ready in the room alone, and the twatheads come back and I just completely blank them.. and as I'm doing my make up in the mirror I let them pass without even looking at them (the mirror is on the door), to go back out and when the door shuts I overhear one of them say 'FUCKIN HELL SHE IS SO OFF WITH US'.. ha! RESULT! they noticed, good. So I realised at this point that it's time I had some ME time.. I just wasn't ... read more

Before I even start to write what happened today, can I please just stress how ANNOYING internet cafes are sometimes. Right now there is the biggest idiot I have ever encountered nearby me playing WoW.. for those of you who don't know what this is, it's called 'World of Warcraft' He has 2 other friends in here playing this game with him, however they aren't as annoying.. he however feels the need to SHOUT to his friends and give us a running commentary of what's happening on the game, as if we give a shit? I'm trying to concentrate and all I can hear is 'MATE THAT IS SUCH A COOL ABILITY, I WISH I COULD DO THAT. WAIT I'M DYING' etc etc.. Please for the sake of love never EVER start to play WoW. I ... read more

Been dramatic today to say the least! Woke up again with every intention to go to Newtown and job hunt but somehow ended up catching up on X-factor and Gossip Girl instead! Literally I'm hooked on T.V, I just can't seem to stop myself. You would think that while I'm out here in Australia I'd be doing a lot more than finding out who has left x factor this week.. or whether Serena is gonna get with Nate again?! These are very important isssues in my life, and I cannot ignore them! Good to know Jedward have finally gone now though eh. You can say they were entertaining but I still think they were as charismatic as my toenails. The weather was awful today so I had no issues with sitting in front of a PC ... read more
