So if you haven't done your weekly shop yet, I'd like to ask everyone to put it off until sunday, and make the trip to IGA Wembley, corner Cambridge and Jersey Sts and come and help someone in need. I'll be working, so you can come and say hi and help a really terrific guy. Thank you for your time.

So, last night was the inaugural poker night that Sarah and I planned with some of the other teachers from school. It was heaps of fun. Texas Hold 'Em. I lost the first round miserably, but won the second one. Sarah won the first one. Strange things were going on with us yesterday.
During my English Support lesson, she'd come in just to chill and chat, and some of the boys were playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, so we thought we'd give it a go. After Sarah won the first one, the next seven in a row we got the same thing. We had to stop after that because we were laughing too hard. Then in the car on the way home while waiting at a traffic light, we were talking about said phenomenon, and we decided we'd play with both hands, and 'lo and behold, twice in a row we got the same thing, with the same hand, for example, scissors with the right and rock with the left hand, more so because the left hand doesn't really want to do anything other than rock because it's too hard to try and focus and make your submissive hand do anything.
Then last night, during one of the deals, everyone else had folded and it was only Sarah and I still in. I only had a five and a Queen but there was a five in the cards in the middle, so I figured, yeah, pair and Queen high. Sarah put her cards down and she had five and queen. *Twilight Zone music* It's happening more frequently the longer we know each other and hang out. We have the same random thoughts at exactly the same moment.
On another note, we had another Telstra Customer Service Line moment last night. We've previously had these when Sarah would say something and I would hear something completely different, for example,
Sarah: Can you answer the phone if it rings?
Liv: Did you say fried chicken wings?
This is how last night's went:
Liv: Jenny, do you have any paper towels?
Jenny: Do I know how to play the guitar?
Any of you, which I guess is really only my sister and maybe Pete, who have seen Sarah and I together, would know that when something stupid like that happens, we literally keel over laughing. We've done it in so many inappropriate places. In the middle of Coles, at the Commonwealth Bank, in class while at school, the emergency room of a hospital....
Good times.....

- Music:Some Japanese song that binsybaby posted a link to.
Anyway, I'd forgotten about it, until Monday when I asked Harry which was which. She started the singing the song from the ad with all the Italians making percolated coffee, you know the one:
"Coffee chiiiill, coffee chiiilll
Brownes, Brownes, Brownes, Brownes,
Brownes coffee chiiiiill."
So it turns out I was wrong. I was devastated. The worst thing was, that I have had that stupid jingle stuck in my head for the last two days and I keep singing it when I'm around Harry, and for some reason when it comes to the Brownes, Brownes, Brownes bit, she automatically starts singing in a Scottish accent:
*Brewnes, Brewnes, Brewnes...."
HAHAHHA!
Geeez, we're weird.

I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed about this, that it took so long for me to finally get there, or that I'm experiencing it right now, because fortunately, it puts me on a mental par with most of the new guys I meet, because we all know that women mature earlier than men. Personally, I think 14 is a little too early to become an adult, but thankfully, I've digressed, and I'm LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a long time since your heart was frozen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know
That it's a lonely place that you have run to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a lonely end that you will come to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know
I find immense inspiration in this song. I was having a really shit evening last night until I listened to this song and decided not to be such a pansy ass.

On a lighter note, there are only THREE weeks the year 11's have to hang around for now. The Head of Department also has $10,000 to pay for relief cover should we pick up any when the students leave, which means I'll be stuck in the bookroom cataloging and cleaning for five weeks *woooooo*
And again, in terms of men, it's either all or nothing with me. How am I supposed to choose from a list of guys that I like but each have their own, distinctive charm? Rrrrrrrrrr. I'm too old for this. It's either a mammoth dry spell, or five guys at once. Or, the one that I want doesn't want me. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggghhh
Again, the argument for lesbianism wins!

Yes, ladies and gents. These are the sort of antics one gets up to when the theme of your Spring in the Valley bus trip is Heroes and Villains and you proceed to start drinking at 10:30am.
I had an awesome time yesterday, albeit I spent the latter part of the afternoon sorting out the failed relationship of two of my friends, which inevitably ended in disaster anyway, but I was happy eating the complimentary cheese while they dribbled to me about their respective views on their situation.
OTHER than that, didn't get burnt, didn't get TOTALLY trashed and considering that I was wearing all white, didn't get any grass OR red wine stains. I'm so proud of myself (especially seeing as I was wearing Sarah's pants).

There's a funny, twisted sort of sensation in my stomach that has nothing to do with feeling ill. I can't seem to get my brain focused enough to try and sort out the problem. I'm not really expecting anyone to reply, or for anyone to give me any advice, I just want to spout random thoughts in the hopes of sorting through what I'm feeling so I can gain some sort of clarity, which is ironic because I think, either my first or second post was titled "I have clarity."
I think I realise I never really had it, I just had a sensation where I felt like everything was right, but I really don't think that it is. I'm quite petrified by this feeling because it's the first time I've not been able to pin-point what the problem is, why it is that I feel this way. It's new and it's frightening.
I figure I'm allowed to talk about how crap I feel, Glen does it all the time, granted a lot more eloquently.
I definitely know that something is wrong here. I wish I knew what it was.

So everyone whooped! Then in their closing, Colin says, "All the best for the Eagles and all the worst for the Dockers." and the majority of the audience whooped again, but some booed. Frank is speaking into his mic saying "Start the car, Darren. Col has started something he can't finish!"
Very humorous and a big thank you to Pete and Mel for choosing to go to the football and laying down the line about me not going! Also, Jayden didn't go, so it was a girls night, me, Fi, Sam and Fi's mum Heather! Wonderful woman who shouted us dinner!
She thanked me and Sam for being such good friends to Fi, and we won't say why, needless to say Fi was crying to her mum before we arrived! So, now the baby's going to have to put up with me over the holidays, because I'm planning on being a whinging post for Fi just in case of any prenatal issues, and also so she can get some sleep.
So, had a fantastic girls night which is something I haven't really had for ages. I'm still totally adamant that I'm better off without a man at the moment, poor Sam and Fi. Both beautiful, smart, lovely women, caught up with guys who drag them down! *sigh* Looks like I'm NEVER going to find anyone to fit my standards.
