Crazy going slowly am I

crazy

Whenever I reached the ultimate heights of boredom as a child I would recite, “I am slowly going crazy, crazy going slowly am I” over and over while I puttered around doing whatever it is I could find to do.  Aaannnndddd OMGOSH seriously – that sounds a lot worse than it really is.

No seriously.

WHAT??  You mean NORMAL people don’t do that?  WhatevvvvER.  Scott Pete sometimes did it too.  We’d recite it together and then get the giggles – yep yep.

I AM SLOWLY GOING CRAZY

True story – 5 minutes ago I bumped my bobby pin holder off my dresser.  I looked down and was like “What a mess.”  And then I said this outloud:

“Sweet!  At least I now have something to do for a minute.”

THAT’S RIGHT!  I talk to myself :)

But I think the most disturbing part of this story is not that I talk to myself but that I was actually happy to clean up a pile of bobby pins.

Before you think I’m TOO pathetic!!

It’s not that there aren’t things I COULD do – of COURSE there are things I could do.  It’s a matter of WANTING to do them.  I’ve done all of the boring stuff – unpacked, cleaned, made my bed – ya know – boring stuff.  And now?  I think I’ve done so many boring things that now I’m not just bored – now nothing even sounds fun!!  Lame.

Goss update:

#3 – sent me my phone via post – I thanked him via text (sms) and I think that’s the end of him.

CC+4 – I sent him this totally groovin’ ‘get your groove thang on’ song bcuz it’s SO HOT except I decided to ruin the song for him by telling him I think about him when I listen to it.  I feel mildly guilty for this – however the mild guilt does not suppress the devilish delight that makes me chuckle at the thought of it.  I will be going on another singles cruise in January – he’ll be there also – only time will tell if we’re ever cruise crushes again … but I doubt it.

Captain Charisma – OMGOSH!  We haven’t talked about him in a LLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time.  But he’s back in the picture bcuz well – he’s hot and he likes American humor.  :)   Ok ok – also because I’m boyless and he always seems to be around when I am free.  :)

North Sydney – seeing him tomorrow – excited but a little nervous too.  AGH!

Work – they’re not giving casual workers any hours until October – so very quiet on that front.  However I went in to say hi and that was fun.

Ok – that’s enough out of me – I think I’ll play eyeshadow for a bit and then go buy nail polish remover.  Sweeeeeet.

x, xo, xx, xoxo, Xx and maybe even XX

DEFINITIONS AT THE END

Here is an IM Chat from a couple days ago with the one and only MIUB (Most Important Utah Boy.)  I should give a disclaimer here though – in case any of my readers know him – MIUB and I are just friends. In fact we even talk about our dating lives – it’s cool.  Not many guys are cool enough to stay friends with you after a crush. (ex: CC+4.)  [insert look of death.]  But MIUB raised a good topic of discussion – the meaning of Xs, Xxs and Os.  :)

I give strict (non-IM) definitions at the end.  :)

MIUB – hey i have a question for you….when you put just “xx” instead of xoxo, which are those hugs or kisses?

ME – it means kisses – but not like in the creepy way or anything

MIUB – no its cute but i just wasn’t sure which one the x was.

MIUB – i didn’t want to think you were giving me kisses when you were actually leaving them out and just giving me hugs

ME – LOL – that made me laugh.  I don’t think I’ve ever just done a “oo” – that looks kind of weird too.
ME – I should do that to boys who I don’t like though huh?  that’d be so funny!  oh and btw – there are different levels of the “x”s
ME -there’s the ONE x, or the two xx or Xx

MIUB – What does the x mean – just the one?  like a friendship kiss on the cheek?

MIUB – then xx is a nice kiss on the lips but just quick and lips interlocked then the Xx is the big dog?

ME – LOL – I’ve always kind of thought of it as an “x” is a kiss on the cheek, “xx” is the kiss on both cheeks (like Italians do) kinda – and then “Xx” is like a lip-kiss.

MIUB – I was pretty close.  So I usually get the Italian one.

MIUB – ok I’ll take it.

ME – well I’d throw out the other one – but again – I try not to be creepy ;)

MIUB – creepy never came to mind with you.

MIUB – what does this mean XX cause I’m about to drop that on you

MIUB – XX


I love having friends who I can flirt with!!!  It’s the BEST!!! Speaking of which – in an effort to contradict everything I ever write – I took the Captian off my Z list today.  Does this mean I am going back to my “playa” ways?  Not exactly.  I did turn down a REAL date offer this weekend – but you see – the Captain and I don’t date – we just “catch-up.”  :) And I see no harm in that anymore.

DEFINITIONS:

x -

this is used for anyone.  boy or girl, friend or more-than-friend – an “x” is a cute/nice gesture or sign that you care.  I use this all of the time to tons of people.   In fact I don’t think I EVER send an email to my FM or his GF without an “x” at the end.

xx or xo -

very similar to the “x.”  I use this when I want to say, “you’re adorable” or “I’m teasing you.”  If I say something sarcastic and want to make sure they don’t think I was being mean I ALWAYS add an “xx” to the end.   Or with my BFF Crysta – I always sign emails with xo or xoxo.  It just a term of endearment.  :)

Xx -

this one I generally only use for boys.  I USED TO sign my emails to CC+4 with “Xx.”  And to ME this is more of a KISS – though sometimes I accidentally capitalize xs and so it can’t ALWAYS be taken seriously.  :)

XX -

definitely a kiss.  That’s just how it is.

XxXX, XXX, XoXXo -

If you receive any variations of the above – it probably means I have a crush on you.  OR that I’m flirting outrageously with you because I can.  :D

xoxoxoxo or XOXOXOXO-

I sign things like this to my mom – it just means what it means – hugs and kisses.

————————————————————

Ok well – hope we’re all clear now.  :)

Yours truly,
xx ~Daisy

Oh and here’s one of the new pics hanging in my bedroom – They’re my babies!! :)
happy puppies

Oh no I didn’t …

Oh yes. Oh yes I did.   http://twitter.com/australiandaisy

You know that feeling on a REALLY super hot scorching day when your mouth is dry and your throat is parched? The feeling when you finally get your hands on an ice cold bottle of water (but not aquafina because aquafina is gross) – you know that feeling?   You take a sip of refreshing water and let out an insuppressible “ah.”

That’s how I felt tonight when I got home and took a shower.  I’ve been awake since 1:30am this morning and after a 3.5 hour flight, 10 hours at school and an hour bus ride home – it felt GOOD to be home and clean!!!  :) YAY for Daisy!!!

I have a few more “YAY!” moments to share.

  • I’ve officially earned a Graduate Certificate in Peace and Conflict and can now tick the box “Graduate Degree” on surveys or applications.  No more ticking just a “Bachelors Degree” for me – I’m moving up in the nerdy world.  ;)
  • I am officially enrolled in the Masters of Digital Communication and Culture program at the University of Sydney.
  • In order to fully immerse myself in my new digital adventure (and because I’m studying the effects of Twitter in school) – I just signed up for a Twitter account.  I told myself I would NEVER EVER EVER do this.  But now that I’ve done it - YAY!!!  :) :) Do you have a Twitter account?  I want to follow you!! :) (this is my twitter backdrop – I took the pic myself :))

1-twit-2

  • Other than that – I’ve found a couple jobs I want to apply for and I have the day off tomorrow.  :) SUPER YAY!!!

In other news – these are the things on my mind:

  • How is it that the people you wish most to avoid are the ones who regularly show up in your life? And the ones you would LOVE to run into again (like the hot Kiwi eying me) disappear?
  • How is it that Captain Charisma consistently contacts me at just the moment when I’m feeling neglected by the other men in my life?  He has perfect timing every time.  And his message today was thoughtful and considerate.  Plus – surprisingly – he always watches my new FB and youtube videos.  Who would have thought?
  • Is it really true that guys like UDB don’t give up?  I got a message from him too.
  • I read an article about Google for school.  OhmyWOW!  Anyone else know exactly how much power that company wields?  And are the critics right?  Is Google making us stupid? Click HERE to read a great article about it.  Crazy.

Headed back to Bondi – and THANK YOU to FM’s GF :)

It’s only 8:15pm Sydney time and I am EXHAUSTED!!! I’ll be asleep no more than 5 minutes after hitting “publish” on this post. Tomorrow morning a cab is picking up FM and me at 1:30am Sydney time – AGH!!!   That’s SO EARLY!!!  We’re headed back to Bondi tomorrow.

So first off I want to give a public shout out to FM’s GF.

THANK YOU!!!

What a fantastic week I’ve had!!!  She was so kind to let me stay with her while I was here in New Zealand!  Not to mention it wouldn’t have been as much fun without her!!!  :) :) I miss having her around back home – and can’t wait til she gets back!!  Love you!!  And I appreciate your hospitality!  xoxo

Oh and p.s. – I’ll have a batch of flourless peanut butter cookies waiting for you when you get back.  :) YUM!!!

Ok – so even though I’ve had an amazing week  and can happily cross off “Visit New Zealand” from my 101 list – it will be good to get back to life.  School, homework, and warm weather are all calling my name!  But for now – please enjoy pics from my Wellington CBD (Central Business District) City tour.  In the next week I’ll try and post pics from scenic New Zealand.  I found a little bit of heaven while I was here – I can’t wait to share it with you all!!!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4X3M-1mGto]

and another p.s. – Captain Charisma wants to meet up again.  Of course he does.  Hmm.  Apparently he’s back in town.  Ordinarily (last semester) I wouldn’t have thought twice about it – I’d just say, “When and where?”  He’s hot, smart, with second, third and fourth doses of SUPER hot … not to mention FM and his GF haven’t forbidden it … BUT …  well … I don’t have time to analyze this now but I’ve found myself in a bit of a quandary.  Hmm … what to do – what to do … ??

Nice GUY vs DB – and NEDAW

Hello everyone!  So before we get into the difference between a nice guy and a DB, I wanted to take a moment and let you know that it is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.  Eating disorders are a pretty serious thing and if you have one – seek help!  I’m thin now – but 8 years ago I weighed 28 – yes TWENTY EIGHT – pounds less than I do now.  I was the same height. Here is a pic of me TODAY.  I went out walking with my FM and YES – I do look like a disaster and could stand to lose 10 lbs but that’s not the point.  :) Can you imagine me 28 lbs (12.7 kg) thinner?

Here is a short and moving 4 minute video on Eating Disorders.

OK – NOW to the FUN STUFF!!!!  :) YAY!!!

I’d like to give a shout out to my Ultimate BFF –

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :)

This is an email from my FM.  UDB has been contacting me a LOT.  And he also has been trying to book time with me a week in advance!!!  I almost agreed to see him again … until FM sent me the following.

Daisy,

It seems UDB is not going to surrender and won’t accept rejection. He will keep trying until he gets his way..

Here’s some definitions of the term “lets catch up”:

if it’s from a past fling (especially players like UDB or Captain Charisma)
“catch up” means – let’s meet so I can use my great talents of persuasion, (cos’ I know I’m good), and hopefully we’ll pash [make-out] later

if its from a good friend (eg BFA or Matty Matt)
“catch up” means – its been ages, what’s going on lately? You’re fun to hang out with.. (No other motives).

see the difference?

Players:

- won’t call you during the week just to say hello but may call you to arrange a ‘catch up’
- will contact you once a week. That leaves him 6 other days to go out with other girls during the week.
- will arrange to catch up last minute if he’s in the area. (booty text)
- won’t meet your flatmates when he comes over to the house
- too cool to hang out with you at a party, in case there may be better girls around or other cool friends
- will call you after the party’s over and he hasn’t scored yet

Back to UDB.
He’s trying much harder now cos’ you’ve been rejecting him. He’s never worked so hard to get a woman before, so it’s a good challenge and will be a great ego boost if he gets you again.   Remember how bad he made you feel after your last date? There is no excuse and should be no more chances for him.

Why?
- He’s a tool
- He does not treat you right
- He’s got other choices
- You’ve got better choices and meet men everytime you step out
- He just wants to pash, you want substance and they are lining up
- Don’t lower yourself to be with him
- You’re not easy
- You have to be a bi*c# sometimes & teach idiots a lesson

There’s lots more but this is not a 1000 word essay.

later. x

So there you have it.  A complete breakdown of a DB.  :) Hope you enjoyed it!  My FM makes some very good points.  And while we’re enjoying things :) please enjoy the other pics of Bondi that I took today on our walk:

bondi-beachbondi-4bondi-3bondi-2

Happy Thursday!!  You should all be happy to know that I have said “no” to the last three requests to “catch-up” with UDB.  :)
