Another First Day of School – and I’m a cougar??

Today started shortly after midnight.  (yeah yeah – I know.)  But you see I had gone to bed on time!  BEFORE midnight – for once!!!  But little good that did me because I was awoken shorty after the time when I should have turned into a pumpkin.  It was my toe.  Something bit me and my toe was burning.  Probably something that looked like this!

And NoooOoooOooo this is not a wikipedia picture – I took this one all by myself – TODAY. :) I didn’t die (yeah yeah – I know) and I finally fell back asleep, only to be woken by a buzzing.  Bzzzz.  Killer spiders and now killer moths AGAIN!  Apparently announcing my woes last night in my blog resulted in their recurrence.  (Wait – Daisy – do moths actually buzz? – I don’t know – but what else could be buzzing in my ear in the middle of the pitch black night?  Don’t answer that – I may be less scared of moths than whatever your answer is.)

Ok so I was up and at it by 6:30 this morning and you can imagine just how chipper I was after a night of almost no sleep.  Superduperchipper.  Though my mood lightened a bit when I caught the early bus which ended up being slow; HOWEVER it was filled with hotties.  Superduperhotties.  Man oh man – if only I had understood that correct train/bus time is critical for superduperhottie stalking I could have filled up my name page with like 40 more boys!!!

My first class was through this door.

Did I mention that I’ve switched from the Uni of Syd to the Ghetto Jungle?  I just hope they have hip hop inside.  Hip hop makes everything better.  :) No seriously – it makes everything better.  Even ice cream.  And pancakes.

Ok – that was weird.  Moving on!  I liked class number 1, I also liked class number 2 and I thoroughly enjoyed these local hang outs:

I noticed a couple interesting things on campus today.

  1. My skirt was too short – but not as short as everyone else’s dresses and shorts.
  2. I look as young or younger than many of the undergraduate students.
  3. I’m about to turn 27 and there are 19-22 year old men/boys eying me.  I think this makes me a cougar?  Hmm … I suppose I’m ok with that.  FM’s GF and I discussed (outrageously!) that maybe to celebrate my entrance into the late twenties that I should date someone from every age between 19 to 26 before 2010.   That’s quite a lofty goal – 8 men in one year – but considering I went on 7 dates with 7 different men in only 6 days back in January 2009 (yes – it’s true) – I may be able to swing it.  ;) AGH!  I’m a shocka!!!  The only difficulty with this “aspiration” is that I still have a stupid crush on CC+4 even though I know I’m being ridiculous by still having it – and since I’ve decided to look for substance I just don’t see how I can look for substance AND date hot boys based on their age.  Darn it – there goes that fab idea out the window!
  4. Spicy Salmon rolls are NOT as good as Salmon and Avocado rolls.
  5. And if I swing it correctly – lunch time could become my new networking/social endeavor.

Ok so this post is already outrageously long!  So I’ll sum up the rest of the day with a couple pics:

First Day of School Picture – I’m not sure what I’m listening to – probably one of the kick-A songs that CC+4 sent.  The “Hot Thing” one was sweet – but “Pop the Glock” was even better.  There’s also a chance I was listening to some Meiko – I love her songs “Reasons to Love you” and “Piano Song.”

What a crappy pic eh?  Oh well – on to the next.  First semester I met Bruce -  he is a kindred spirit and a life saver!!!!  Pic from Semester 1:

Pic from semester 2: Bruce says I look younger … but I’m pretty sure my name isn’t Benjamin Button.

a007

It was amazing to catch up with Bruce – he is like a wise fortune teller.  Except he doesn’t predict the future.    He just has an uncanny knack for really understanding the HERE and NOW.

Next I saw the following sign – wteff?  and I learned another latin dance.

So there you have it.  A VERY long day.  Very very long.  I didn’t get home until midnight and feel like I haven’t slept for days.  I am SOOOOOO crashing tomorrow – and maybe doing some reading on the beach.  Which btw – I have some great points to make on the book “How To Win Friends and Influence People” – so maybe I’ll get to that this week.  Oh and I haven’t forgotten – I need to post my cricket video!  YAY!!!

Does anyone else salsa dance?  How long did it take you to learn?  I seriously suck.

I need more in life than parties and pretty faces

My favorite part of SYTYCD was the song below. I’ll post pics from it tomorrow.  :)

Today I went to a killer ABSOLUT party in Bondi (though in order to get in I had to change my name to “Adrea.”)  It was worth it!  SO FUN!  But now I’m beat!!!  According to the people I was with there were “heaps” of up and coming stars at the party plus a couple full blown celebs (umm … I think that’s supposed to be cool? refer to title of post) and then Of COURSE Captain Charisma was there (but of course HE didn’t have to change his name to get in like I did – because OF COURSE it was already on the list. roll my eyes.  He’s on every list to every exclusive party EVERYWHERE!)

He stopped and said “hi” and then sent me a text later – and then called me too. LOL!  I declined his offer to play tonight. As I’ve said before, Captain Charisma is ridicously good looking but not relationship material and tries to kiss me every time we “catch up” – which is flattering – and he is a good kisser – but … well … I’m over the part of my life where pretty faces are all that matters.  Now I’m looking for a little more substance.  It also wouldn’t hurt if his initials had a “+4″ on the end of them … then he’d have substance AND be hot.  :)

Hey but remember the snowman video I posted? (click here to view it) Apparently the good old Captain stepped outside of his usual self-absorbtion and watched it on my FB page.  And now takes delight in teasing me for it.  Roll my eyes.  I think I liked it better when he was completely self-absorbed. He even asked how my test on Saturday went!!! Say what??  CC+4 hasn’t even asked me that.  Hmm … the Captain really MUST be keen on catching up.  LOL!

Oh I ALMOST FORGOT!!!  I met some dude who used to host a show on TV a few years ago – but who cares.  Anyway – Mr. A list (roll my eyes) asked me for my number.  Then sent me a text later saying, “Admittedly, the process of getting your number didn’t go as smoothly as I’d liked!  That aside, it was still very nice meeting you and hope to be in touch soon.”  HAHA!  I guess even attractive actors who have had moderate success still get nervous around girls. lol.  Kinda cute.

The only problem?  He’s one of Captain Charisma’s friends…  (Roll my eyes.  It seems my friend Captain Charisma knows everybody who’s anybody – which is why I call him Captain Charisma.)  Oh the life I lead … I love it – but with my solid family values upbringing – well – I can’t help noticing how entirely empty the lives of these people are.  Sure I was at the party too – but this is their life day-after-day.  Just one party after another.  With lots and lots of alcohol.  It’s fun for me in doses – but I’m looking for a bit more …

A Down and Up Day

First and foremost I want to tell you that I have this extreme paranoia that when I eat grapes I’m also eating spiders.  And you know what?  I have a really good explanation for this which I am NOT going to share at this particular juncture.  :) Juncture?  You mean a particular point in time (especially one that is critical or important)?  Yes that’s exactly what I mean (which is why I used the word silly!)

The particularly important point in time I’m referring to is RIGHT NOW.  And RIGHT NOW I have more important things to discuss.  Like the REAL LIVE FARMER I met tonight at the Establishment (A Salsa Club.)  He almost had my heart until he said his dream job would be to sell pot for a living.

[awkward silence]

Alright-y then – I’ll let you guess how long it took me to excuse myself from that one.  (if you guess more than a minute – you are wrong.)  lol.

This morning was pretty rough.  :( I set my FB status to “Daisy is homesick.  Very, very homesick.”  I felt the prick of tears more than once and finally had to go for a walk to clear my head.

I’m in Sydney now – thinking about home isn’t productive.  Especially since I’ve only been back for 2.5 weeks.   2.5 weeks?  Oh boy – we’ve got a LONG way to go.  In fact, I’d almost say it seems my time in Sydney is interminable (score!  WOTD – word of the day – “interminable” was just used in a sentence.)  hooray!

Ok back to being homesick.  This is my home now.  This is where I live.  And it’s time to LIVE here.

My FM and his GF took me out dancing tonight – part of Operation Help Daisy Make A Name For Herself in Sydney.  I’m not sure if it was just being with them, experiencing a little taste of Sydney’s night life, or all of the hot men that checked me out ;) but I had a wonderful evening and YAY I’m not as homesick.

And as far as Operation: HDMNHS – someone at the Salsa club tonight actually asked my flatmate, “Is her name Daisy?”   CRAZY!!  She recognized a picture of me from Facebook.  Oh why oh why haven’t I gotten an acceptance letter from the Uni of Syd yet?  Digital Communications is like PERFECT for me.  I even get recognized at Salsa clubs in SYDNEY from pics on FB!!!!  HAHAHA!  Seriously – LOL!  I love it!:) I may have started the day feeling as dreary as the sky above – but I ended it with a smile on my face.

A new superhero power

I should really start keeping track of how many cool super hero powers I have. I figured out another one the other day. And then of course – let us not forget that I have SUPERHUMAN PERIPHERAL SPIDER RADAR VISION which is about the coolest thing evah (spelled “ever” in the U.S.) (read about it HERE – oh lol. And no I’m NOT graceful.)

Anyway – today I am happy to announce that I have discovered I have Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah (Power). Are you impressed?  Because you should be.  You see, as I mentioned in the linked post above, superhero powers that are a mouthful to say are better than those that are not.  And that means Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah is awesome by the title ALONE.  HOWEVER that’s not the ONLY reason why this power is so flipping sweet. No no, this power rocks because it gives me the ability to hide/store stuff – like cool superhero stuff – like lipgloss.  )

Want to know how I discovered this cool power?  I found a “new” pocket on one of my skirts today and then – the VERY SAME DAY (which is still today) – I discovered that the “decorative” pocket on my super fly new hat is actually functional! Decorative AND useful. How cool is that?

So anyway – that’s my BIG news for today. Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah.  I can’t really top that.  It’s just too cool.  Oh wait – omgosh – I ALMOST forgot!  I can’t TOP that but I do have other important news.  I’ve fallen in love with lychees.  Have you ever had a lychee? (spelled “litchi” in the U.S.) YUM. I LUV them.

Ok – better start my homework. I’m the only one in my group who does the reading so I have to do 3x as much. Have a happy Friday! And please feel sorry for me ;) as it’s going to be a scor-cha tomorrow (spelled “omgosh it’s so hot I think I’m going to die” in the U.S.) with temps close to like 1,000,000 Celsius and at least 134% humidity.  That’s hot.  So hot I won’t be able to wear my super fly new hat.  ( But hey – at least I’m a superhero. Do YOU have any cool superhero pow-ahs?
