I’m a dick…I’m addicted to you…

While I was thinking of a snappy title I remembered that weird-ass song by Simple Plan.

So, going with a non-my-life-is-shit-because blogging style, I think I might share a few things that I’m quite into at the moment.

Firstly, and I know it’s disgusting that I’m eating it for breakfast, but I love MICROWAVE POPCORN!

I especially like how sometimes, because the flavor isn’t distributed properly, one particular popcorn would taste saltier and greasier than the others. Mm, cholestrole…

Speaking of cholestrole and heaps of salt, I like those Campbell’s CHUNKY canned soup things. You know that ad “Fully loaded man’s got ball of meat”? Well at least I think that’s how the ad goes. It’s a random-Panda ad (ok ok I’m trying to get something caught on here. Random-Panda, or if you say it fast it enough “Randa-Panda”) but the soup is quite nice, if you get past the momentary blindness from the soup. No no no I’m kidding.

Okay that wasn’t quite the one I was looking for, but it’s close enough.

Speaking of manly (loving my segways?), there is a duo that’s NOT SO MANLY but still pretty fully-loaded. Yes I’m speaking about the HAMISH AND ANDY SHOW! Specifically, their Podcasts.

Because you don’t look stupid enough on the train bopping to your music, but to actually be trying to suppress a very creepy smile when listening to Hamish trying to read Fred Baset while being chased down by cars…

TETRIS! No segway there but they don’t NEED one!

(Whoever was playing that during the screen shot is an epic noob…I mean LOOK AT IT!)

I’ve been trying to beat my best score of 1:38 on Tetrisfriends Sprint for about a month now. I know the time is quite shit, compared to oh, Dom’s 58 seconds, but I’m trying my best okay?!

Yu-Gi-Oh, the Abridged Series. I’ve watched most of the episodes, and yes, I have been quoting “ATTENTION DUELISTS! MY HAIR IS NOW AN INTERNET PHENOMENON!”

And finally, I know this is a waste of time, I’m addicted to uberly long phone calls. I’ve been calling (or have been called by) Catherine for nearly every night and we’re just chatting and chatting and I’m not letting her study. Which is shit for her because she has an exam on Wednesday. But phone conversations are awesome, and as Train said, “Can you imagine no…five hour phone conversations, the best soy latte that you ever had, and me?”

I thought that was a funny picture, because that’s what Catherine’s probably doing every time.

Well, that’s all for today. Just wanted to update and be awesome, as always.

NCIS and HIMYM finished for the season (like, a week ago, but anyway) and so right now I’m just catching up on Merlin and Ghost Whisperer. I suppose I should put those two on as well.

Could her shirt  BE any more open?

Alex.

I MET 1/2 OF HAMISH AND ANDY!

Ah, why be subtle in my titling?

Anyway, to clarify, I met the Andy half.

After school today Dani, Carmaine and I went to Dani’s place so I can tune Dani’s new guitar (all-black, acoustic, very old strings, sounds funny, looks hot) and so Carmaine can go to the Op-Shop nearby where we bought so much of Eunice’s birthday presents.

As we were rounding Coventry onto Clarendon, where FOX FM’s office and HQ is, we decided to go into the Clarendon Shopping Centre because I needed to use the bathroom. We also got some to eat, and I chatted with a Baker’s Delight worker who was an ex-MacRobbian, having recognised my uniform. All this is crucial to what happened next because a moment sooner or a moment later and today’s awesomeness would’ve been affected.

So as the three of us were walking out of the Shopping Centre, who do we pass but ANDY LEE! I stopped in my tracks, turned around and literally pointed at him half-dazed saying, “Isn’t that…?” and of course it was. We took a few steps away from the door, still saying “Ohmygosh it’s Andy from Hamish and Andy!” And I wanted a photo. We went back, and saw him ordering a sandwich. I started hovering near the doorway of the restaurant, wanting to go in to say hi and ask for a photo (Dani had her Polaroid with her). Anyway, I did about a minute of hovering as he was ordering, and then he turned around, saw me, and waved and smiled. I did the stereotypical “Hi omgsh hahaha” crap all tweenies do.

Then he came out of the restaurant, while I was still hovering and wringing my hands, and came out and smiled and said hi. I shook his hand, and had to crane my neck up HEAPS! He’s so incredibly tall. Which made me think that Hamish is actually pretty tall as well. He told me his name is Andy. I said, “I know. We know.” And then I asked him why his hair isn’t red anymore, seeing as he lost that bet and I saw a picture of him on the mX with red hair. He said he was allowed to dye it back again. Then I asked if we could take a photo, and Carmaine and I took a photo with him on Dani’s Polaroid (Dani I love you so much for letting us take one without you in it. It’s not fair you’re not in it I know. So I’ll make it up to you! Next time we see someone famous you’ll be like closest to them in a photo) BUT, as Eunice reminded me later when I called her to tell her, WE FORGOT TO ASK HIM TO SIGN IT! I AM SUCH AN IDIOT! I HAD AN INSTANT PHOTO AND I DIDN’T ASK HIM TO SIGN IT! WHAT KIND OF IDIOT DOES THAT?! I am so ashamed, I bet he even thought we were weird for not asking him for an autograph.

Anyway, said bye to him (he’s so nice. I mean how annoying would it be, 10 minutes before your show starts, you’re trying to buy a sandwich and 3 giggling schoolgirls want a photo) and called Eunice, talked to her – she was so excited she was whisper-screaming, as she was in the library. Talked to Bee – she wasn’t as excited but I suppose it’s hard to beat Eunice’s enthusiasm. Then called Yeleng. Dani called Caro- who, according to Dani, said “Ohmygod” three times per sentence. Yeleng kept on saying how lucky I was. WE WERE SO LUCKY! I bet if we didn’t go to the bathroom, or if I didn’t spend so long chatting to the ex-MacRobbian, or if something-something didn’t happen, we wouldn’t have come across Andy.

So that was a sum-up of my AWESOME afternoon! I ended up being home late for an hour, and realized I’d used my credit all up 1 month early (it’s a 2 month limit…so…oops). But still it’s so cool! Thank you so much Dani for agreeing to use up an expensive film and not being in the picture! I love you!! And I know I sound like I’m only saying I love you because you did me a huge favor but I’m sure you know how much I love you all the other times!

Keep Cool (AND LISTEN TO HAMISH AND ANDY ON FOX FM 101.9, 4 – 6pm on weekdays and I’m pretty sure they’re on weekends too! Podcast them! Whatever! Just do it ‘cos Andy’s really nice and I bet Hamish is too.)

D.F.

/edit here’s the picture, I finally uploaded into my computer.

The 2nd Part of the Last Day

Where was I?

Oh, right before I go any further, I should acknowledge that all my pictures are thanks to Carmaine and her Facebook. Yes. I just thanked Facebook. Dignity down the drain there.

11D’s theme (11D being Bee’s form) was Kids. But I have to give a big cheer to Gif- and Ani- because they took the concept to a whole new level..or should I say a whole unborn level? (ba-boom-chi…gawd…)

After consuming more than a “fair share” of sugar, many many more photos were taken. I actually took a lot more photos than I was in: “Hey Ruyi can you take this for me?” “Hey can you take my camera?” “Zomg this is so funny I have to have a picture of this, Ruyi can you take it?” but truth be told after seeing the pictures I hardly cared because there were some beauties in there.

Then there was that incident when Eunice handcuffed me behind my back. I managed to wriggle my hands to my front (Carmaine missed the photo opportunity but, even if I do say so myself, I was rather ingenious in my escape). But then when I pretended to be shot down by Dani they bloody..bullied..me…

Erm, since I’ve been putting a lot of pictures on here, I’ll fast forward a bit.

After the day finished (oh, yeah! Huey got DUX! Go her, she deserves it so bloody much! Worked really hard.) Eunice left early to go to an interview (she changed, so she wasn’t wearing the stuff you saw in the pictures) and Bee, Carmaine, Dani and I went to Dani’s apartment. Andrew (wait, do I censor his name? Oh bloody hell who cares) was there, and when he opened the door Eater, Dani’s puppy, shot out! We managed to coax him back into the apartment. We sat around for a while, and Eater molested Bee’s toes a bit, then we went downstairs, and shopped on Clarendon St a bit. WE SAW HAMISH AND ANDY’S CARAVAN OF COURAGE so we took a picture “with it, not in it” (the manager’s words).

We found D.P. at Melbourne Central after we left the apartment and went there so forth. Blah I’m not doing very well in my sentences today. We got lunch, and took the train home. Said bye to Carmaine at the station, and my mom drove D.P. Dani, Bee and I home. D.P. and Dani played pool while I showered, then Bee arrived after being “confused, not lost”. Carmaine came shortly after that, as we’ve started cooking a little. We cooked, we ate, we started Love Actually. Eunice arrived 10 minutes in.

Because I was constantly getting up as the host to take bowls, cups, so forth, I didn’t engross myself into the movie too much (except for my favorite bits). I noticed how different my friends can be when they’re doing different things. At school we’re in an environment that doesn’t ask for too much of our personality to shine through, really. For example, during the movie, Eunice is the person who always aw’s and ah’s and says, “THIS IS THE BEST BIT!” then quickly shushes everyone for agreeing. Ah, I don’t want that to sound mean. I didn’t mean for that to be mean, by the way. Bee is the kind who starts quiet, but as she gets into the movie and starts loving the characters, she would squeak and moan and shout “YOU SUCK!” along with appropriate moments. D.P…cried. Haha…and I laugh like a parent would laugh at their kid snubbing their nose into a tree. D.P. cried when the guy went to Keira Knightley’s house and held up those signs confessing his love for her. Dani was extremely quiet, but I think that was mostly because she was suffering from hayfever (again, it’s like snubbing a nose in a tree to me). Carmaine was making remarks about all the going ons, like “Oh he’s so cute!” “Wow he’s got a hot body!” “Aw that Mia’s a bitch!” (Not exact words she said) and I wasn’t quite sure what I did. But it was extremely entertaining and fun to watch people I know so well doing such everyday things.

D.P. left after we watched Love Actually, and the other 5 of us migrated to my lounge room and we watched Bubble Boy (with Jake Gylenhaarrrr starring). By then we were more subdued, even though the photos didn’t show it

It’s startling how much alike we both look in that one, Dani. (Not literally twinnish alike, but just our composure)

After Bubble Boy we had a bit of a sleepy snuggle (nothing gay but) and there was a bit when I thought I heard someone say “I can feel a penis”. As jokes would go, Carmaine said that the penis was mine (har de fucking har, Carm) and I quoted from Bubble Boy – when Jimmy had a hardon and started reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to relieve it – “I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO AMERICA…!”

I like having good timing like that. I think that’s what separates a funny person from a slightly rude person. Apart from me sounding like I’m kissing my own ass, I mean it. Really funny moments are perfectly timed, perfectly executed, with perfect wording.

Julia has been waiting for about an hour now so I’ll wrap this up.

It’s was a good day. A good hard long day but I loved it. I love my Angels (aww at least let me get to call you guys that) and I love my Dani. (The toy dog, thanks to Viv my KK, is Dani’s replacement boyfriend seeing as she missed Andrew but he wasn’t there. I called him Tony until I tweaked on how awkward that is.)

De Fluffe, Out.

P.S. Shit, tagging.

“Nice belt”

It was one of those moments where life just seemed to have set up the perfect joke, but no one was really around to hear and share it with you.

From Vania’s blog you would’ve read that Tif- found this joke funny:

What did 0 say to the 8?

Nice belt.

Well today I was in the car and I heard Hamish and Andy, and one of them (I can’t bet on it but I think it was Andy) was prank calling someone and applying for a job as Santa Claus. But he sounded REALLY depressed and boring. Anyway, to “pass” for the requirement, he said,

“I have this joke that my neices and nephew find funny. Okay, so ‘what did 0 say to the 8?'”

And I stopped. And I smiled. And at the same time as Andy I recited,

“‘Nice belt.'”

Ah perfect moments ruined by my mom not understanding why I was laughing.

On a more somber note:

R.I.P. Mrs Kent

And

Get well soon my beloved Dani. You scared me buddy! Don’t do it again! Take care of yourself, seriously!

You made me think about things. And you know I hate to think.

De Fluffe, Out.

P.S. Tomorrow’s the big day! Not that I’m going but I’m a bit tempted now.
