I’m being so lazy with my diary entries. Usually when i do write there’s enough there to make up for it. I don’t know why I even bothered to write the other night when I was tired and just wrote these halted sentences. dumb.
Went to Audra’s baby shower today. I don’t know why i dread these outings so much, but i do. But this one i didn’t dread as much as julies. i’m not sure why. Julie was there today. She looks really good, didn’t look much bigger than the last time we saw her a few weeks ago. She’s due in 12 days or something, but she said she’ll probably come to our work christmas breakfast on the 18th. Fran said that we could stay as long as we wanted at the breakfast, because she’ll be there too. it’ll be on at Coffee Club on Eagle St Pier. Should be nice.
Another thing i’m dreading so much is work tomorrow. I’m dreading this whole L. thing. I sent mortgages out to get signed and the customer only had one copy witnessed, so the other copy is useless. now i have to get them to sign another copy and i also realised that i got them to sign the non-urgent mortgages, which is going to get me in the shit. I’ll have to send them out again and just say “both copies of the mortgages need to be witnessed. oh and by the way i got you to sign the non-urgent mortgages. Here are the urgent ones, and i’ve wasted another week and they could have been lodged by now.” it’s worse because the customer is a self-actor and knows how everything works. It’s shit. And i’m not looking forward to this whole RP thing either. i just know i’m going to do up stat decs and stuff because i’m not going to find the CT. And the branch will blame me.
One good thing is that mum agreed to go on the bill for me with my phone. So the account will be in her name and i’ll just get the bill. I don’t know what phone i want to get, i don’t know if what beck said is true about phones taking pics on a certain frequency and in 2 months time that frequency won’t exist any more so picture phones will be useless… it sounds a bit like a conspiracy to me. Don’t know if i can believe that. I hope it’s not true. I want to get a panasonic like bec’s mum. Beck’s phone doesn’t’ take pictures in real time, when you look at the screen there’s like a 2 second delay, which is a pretty long time in camera time.
Movieworld was fun. beck reckoned i’d get burnt but i didn’t. my skin felt a bit hot at the end of the day but i am not burnt, which is good. i did put sunscreen on. i might do a bit of sunbaking this weekend. I feel so white. i think i am fairly pale, but not as much as some people. Plus i tan easily, so it’s a problem easily solved, right? I went on a lot of rides that i didn’t think i’d go on. this is how the day went:
Caught the 7:43 train from morningside to central, pretty uneventful. I arrived at 8:03 and beck’s train would get in at 8:16, and i had arranged to meet her at maccas, so i had some breakfast there. Watched some wiggas come and go, sitting on a bench across from macdonalds. Beck & her little sister Tanya arrived and then we had to wait for Beck’s mum. So we walked around the city for a while. Beck’s mum got there at 9:30. We then caught the train to Helensvale, and the bus from helensvale to movieworld. First thing we went on was the batman ride, according to beck it was tradition. That ride really jerks you around, i totally thought i’d get seatbelt burn. Then we went on Lethal Weapon. Only beck and i went on that, tanya and Kate (becks mum) didn’t want to, so they watched from the observation area.
It was a fun ride, but I felt like my ears had been bashed from my head banging around. Then we had lunch. i had a burger & fries, and beck had fish & chips (which were apparently still frozen inside). Then we looked at the matrix exhibit. Not very exciting. Then we went on the Wild Wild West ride. (if you’re at dreamworld it’s the log ride). That was fun, but i was really scared. I kept saying to beck “i’m so scared” and tanya, who was sitting behind me & beck, was saying “i wanna get off mum, i wanna get off! This is too scary!” lol. that’s how i felt. beck said to me “just be quiet, or you’ll scare tanya even more”. so i turned around to tanya and said “it’s okay, i’m a bit scared too but it’s bad for like one second and then it’s over”. and it was. i needed to convince myself of that too. When we got off, my hands were shaking so badly & my legs felt like jelly. But i got over it. Next thing we went on was the scooby doo spooky coaster. it was so cool, as beck said “it had just enough of everything”. especially the part where you go through this green smoke that looks like a tunnel and then you’re above everything and you’re going around these corners where you feel like you’re going to fall off… it was great. tanya was really scared at first and it took some convincing, but she loved it too and we went on again, this time with kate (she didn’t go on the first time and i had to sit next to this gross old man). Then we headed up to the looney tunes village, and went on the roadrunner rollercoaster. me & tanya went on that one twice, but beck only went once and hated it, and kate didn’t go on it at all.
We were pretty tired by this stage, so we got a frozen coke and sat on a bench in the main street. Austin powers and his dancers danced and sang up the street, and then we headed for the park entrance/exit to go home. but then kate decided she wanted the picture of everyone on the spooky coaster ride, so me & beck went to wait out at the bus stop while tanya & kate went back to check if they still had it. We went from the bus to helensvale station to central station, where i said goodbye to beck, tanya and kate. they caught the train home but i was too tired to walk home from morningside train station so i caught a bus from elizabeth street. While i was walking from central station to elizabeth st, i called rosie. dad answered and rosie was in the shower, so she called back a bit later and said that day she and sharna had gone to the blue pools and there were these girl aboriginal kids there. they were up on the cliffs and said that they were too scared to jump, and asked rosie to go first, so rosie and sharna went first to show them there was nothing to be scared of. So they all jumped in and started playing, and then some aboriginal boys came along, and dared rosie & the others to see how long they could hold their breath under water for. When rosie & sharna came back up from underwater, the boys were running away with their wallets and their phones. They were too slow in getting out to chase them, so they went up to the local store and mum was there, and they told mum and mum went to see if she could find them. she found them at greenpoint, but couldn’t get the boys to confess what they’d done and that they had the phones and wallets. so a bit later on, mum took rosie & sharna to the mission and they had a meeting with the elders. The elders said that those boys were already on good behaviour bonds, and that if they were charged with anything else they would be sent away, so to leave it with them to get the phones & wallets back. Mum agreed and they went home. about a half hour later, they got a message from the elders that the phones and wallets had been found. mum went to get them. so rosie & sharna got their phones back and their wallets, but their money was gone.
On january 3 & 4, mum said she’d take me & greta down to yamba. finally. So i told greta, and i think she should be fine to come. she got her new phone yesterday. it’s really cute and takes really good pictures. I think i want a panasonic tho. hers is a samsung.
Greta, Dimity & I are going to see the Lion the witch & the wardrobe live next wednesday (10th). Should be fun. i might need to borrow money from dad before then because i am going to be seriously broke, and because i don’t think i’m going to get my credit card, I’ll need money from somewhere. Fuck credit ratings & the default on mine from when no one paid the phone bill. ruin my freaking life why don’t you. it’s my fault though, but it shouldn’t have happened. no one paid the bill and all claimed they didn’t owe anything. well i can’t have made the bill for $200 on my own!!!
Anyways… Lauren and chris won’t be home til later tonight. wonder if they’re havng fun on the loveboat. can’t call them because i have no credit and our phone still won’t call anything except local. sucks.
