POST #30! Exciting huh...

Hey guys!

Guess what I did today? Can you guess? Can ya? Can ya? Nope youre wrong. I made chocolate chip cookies. :) I got up early- 9.40 haha- and went to Rebeccas at 10. Rebecca is the other kiwi at work. We stick together because we are super cool. We had to go on a bit of a Walgreens mission because we wanted to make brownie and didnt have cocoa. Problem was they didnt sell cocoa. Last night on the bus we were talking to Brittany, one of the other girls, about our proposed baking mish and mentioned that we had to buy cocoa. She was like..."cocoa... I think my mum uses that sometimes..." As in she didnt even really know what it was. Noone here bakes at all by the sounds of things. So yeah. We went to Walgreens but they didnt have any cocoa so we resorted to making cookies. Which we didnt have any of the right stuff either. But we improvised a bit and eventually had some semblance of cookie dough-which tasted amazing btw, you so wreck the stuff by cooking it!!! Oh! We had to put in chocolate right, so we had a block of chocolate, broke it into squares and put those in. Mixed it all in and then realised hang on we should probably chop that chocolate up smaller. Sooo we had to pick out all the chocolate, cut it into smaller pieces and put it back in. It was awesome lol. Epic baking missions... Hey Kate, we didnt melt the butter!!! :P Yeah so we chucked them in the oven and over cooked them and they were kinda average. But hey it was exciting! Its so weird here, everyone acts sooo much younger than they actually are. I dont know why or what it is but somehow they just havent grown up yet lol. Well not everyone. But the vast majority. You know how in movies theres all the cliques and the cheerleaders and stuff? Its actually like that over here. I mean you get it a wee bit in New Zealand but it is soo much worse here! It was all good at work until the last couple of days but its started up now, a couple of girls deciding that they are too cool to talk to anyone else and you really just get the impression that they would stab you in the back if they got half a chance. Im reasonably safe, as is Rebecca because they love our accents so much, but we are going to have to be really careful about who we get close to. Im just hoping I manage to not get dragged into all the catty stuff, I really cant be bothered with that crap!!! Anyways enough ranting! Im still loving it here lol. Hope you guys are all fantastic!

WEEKEND!!!!

Wooooohooooo so its my Sunday today. Even though its Thursday. But thats beside the point. I spent yesterday mucking around and really not doing very much, as well as trying to find someone to take my shift on Sunday so that I can go to Wicked in Tampa. :P I found someone, now Im just hoping it all gets approved and stuff. Third time lucky haha. Had a bit of a wrestling match with Michelle last night... you see, Sarah has this toy penguin which is the perfect shape and size to hug and its pretty much just amazing. I wanted it. Michelle had it. Chaos happened lol. We are both a wee bit bruised now. Oh and we made an epic meal last night, pork chops and steamed veggies and pasta. It was sooo good and you have no idea how good it was to eat veggies again lol. Its been sooo long! In fact, its been ages since I ate a proper meal for tea, Im always at work so I just have a muesli bar and an apple or something lol. This morning I went for a wander to commons to see how far it is, it took about 25 minutes so I think I was right in my guess that it was about 3 kms. And I visited Mickeys Retreat which is kinda like the domain, it has a lake and paddle boats and trees and a beach volleyball court and BBQs and a couple of pools. I ended up sitting by the lake for quite a while in the sun which was nice, was getting kinda "I need time by myself or Ill pop" ish. Then I turned around and wandered home again. And that is my weekend so far!! :) Tonight there is karaoke and free coffee at the Pavilion so we are all going to go to that, should be fun! Oh and weve been working out this New York thing. Its going to be expensive but should be sooo much fun!! And we are semi planning another trip to Memphis. Michelle works with a girl from there so we are going to go crash at her house lol. Then Miami at some stage... and I want to go to Kansas so I can make lame Wizard of Oz jokes. So many things to do, so little time!!! Anyways Id better go! Email me if you want less generic info on the goings on here!!!

ARGH!

Ok not a lot to report so this is a short one but it turns out..... dun dun dun...I WOsRK WITH CREEPY MCSTALKERS ROOM MATE! Lol. I found this out today and was laughing hysterically the whole time I was loading my gate and doing the safety checks and stuff lol. Oh my gosh I cant believe that... The best bit is, Id already told this guy the stalker story and how creepy it was and stuff but I didnt mention a name or anything so we didnt work out that he is the room mate lol. Apparently stalker is maybe getting termed for fighting though so maybe Ill be able to hang out by the lake again... :P

Michelle has a gross foot

Hey guys.

Michelle is resting her foot on my shoulder and its really gross because her heel is all cracked and yucky. Last night Jackie had to gladwrap her foot for her... apparently it helps or something. Much hilarity. Then Jackie was trying to take photos and Sarah really really didnt want photos so was hiding in the wardrobe so I pulled her out... It was funny. Annnnyways. Umm yeah so I had work again yesterday, felt sooo gross cos I had a cold or hay fever or something. But then I got my break and went and doped myself up on painkillers. Was overly happy and just a wee bit dopey for the rest of the night. Those things are meant to be non drowsy but I dont know how true that is... I was really pretty out of it lol. Kinda glad I wasn't in tower, I would have had a hard time focussing on the screens. But today Im feeling waaay better. :P Yeah so I put this story up on facebook already but last night I was on PEG- Pavilion Exit Greeter. Basically you stand at the outside doors and wave and smile for 45 minutes lol. Anyways I was doing that, then a lady comes up and is like "Is it still raining?". What the heck? Surely she can find out just as easily as I can... I didnt quite manage to contain myself and told her that she should walk outside and see if she gets wet. Oops. Lol. I dont think anything else interesting has been happening... Yeah. Hope you guys are all good. EMAIL ME PEOPLE!!!

I have a blocked nose

Hey guys

I feel like death warmed up. Gahhhhh I have a blocked nose and im all overheated and sweaty and yucky. Its all Staceys fault, she was sick then she made Jackie sick, now Jackie made me sick. Michelle has really bad hay fever so basically we are all sick except for Sarah and Caryl. Lucky things.... Anyways so other than feeling gross, we have an apartment inspection today so me and Jackie are currently sitting on the couch waiting for them to get here. We got up early ish this morning to clean up and stuff, had a really really good sweep vacuum and mop, cleaned up the bathroom and stuff. Well... some of us did. We also baked cinnamon rolls- again- they are amazing! To bribe the inspectors. But they didnt arrive fast enough so we ate them all lol. Um what else is new... Not a lot. I need to lie down so Im going to go now! Sorry its a short post, email me!

Oh! The other thing that happened last night

So I was at work, on gates. And I did my speil as usual, because Im a good girl and actually do my speil most of the time unlike some slackers around the place. I finish my speil and ask if anyone has any questions. One guys hand goes up, I ask what the question is, he says "Yeah um do you drink decaf? I think maybe you should." Hahahaha dont worry guys, I still talk WAY too fast :)

OH.MY.GOSH.

AHHHHHH! Ok, so there are two very very exciting things I found out today. Firstly, I have 4 days off in June to go to New York with the flatmates and Renee for Renees birthday! YAY! Secondly, and more immediately exciting, the Donut Man is doing a free concert in Kissimmee on the 7th of March!!! Which unfortunately is a Sunday night and I will be working but I may just try to rearrange my schedule a wee bit to get the Sunday off...... then I have to find a ride there. So Im thinking I might hit up Christian... at least see if hes interested. But wouldnt that be cool!! Id get to see the Donut Man!!!!!!!!! Hehe dont judge me. Ummm what else has been happening. Had work tonight which was work like. Except I was an hour early because I cant read a watch. lol. Then I closed merge. AGAIN. And we were all just calling each other on the phones around the different positions because we were bored so I was crouched behind the merge desk talking and next thing I know flipping Brandon is about 5 cm away from my face yelling RAAAAAAAAH! He gave me SUCH a fright!!! I screamed. I really really need to get him back good. First the phone call while I was in tower and now this... hes going DOWN. Problem is everything I come up with would get either one or both of us termed so Im kinda stuck... any ideas feel free to let me know! Argh and I think Im getting a british accent from everyone mocking me all the time!
Anyways I really need to go blow my nose!!
Talk to yas later!
