No good deed goes unpunished...

So they say.

Although, after helping my sister move house for four hours and getting a bitten by an ant/spraining my ankle, I'm probably going to have to agree. Especially when you still have to go to work with said ankle.

At least I get the sympathy vote. All of my customers (I work in retail) where all, 'Oh no, I'm so sorry, I'm making you walk so much!' and I'm all, 'I'm at work. What did you think I'd be doing?'

Cause seriously, my store is huge. I kind of figured walking would play a part in my day. :P But still, pain isn't so cool.

The Epically Lame

If you've ever tried to create something, anything, you're going to realize how damn hard it is to be orignial. So you're trying to write a story? Think of something, anything and you'll find it in a book or movie somewhere in the world. Ditto to art. And cooking. Although maybe not so much with cooking - ok, yes, people are eating bugs now but go out there, find a new speicies of bug and viola! You're the chef to the world's newest food craze!

But for the rest of us, who require nothing more then our own creativity, it's still incredible hard to think of a good concept. Killer robots. Done. Singing villians. Done. Killing your main character. Done. Killing everyone. Done.

So whats left? Really, the only thing left is the lame. Why? Because it's so lame no one wants to go there.

Except thats been done, too. Don't believe me? Research Barbie movies on the internet. Warning: not for the faint hearted, people. Little blonde doll will give you nightmares with her cheerful, chirpy attitude and extrodinarily annoying friends.

So I guess we really have no other option than to just go for whatever the hell we come up with. So what if its overused, over-lamified, or just plain weird? We're artists, people! Of course you don't get the painting/story/whatever! Clearly you just have no artistic vision.
*cough*

'Okay, so I really had no idea what to paint so I just threw different colors at the canvas. I had no idea to what to write as an ending so I killed them all. Okay, so I - nope, I don't have an excuse for that, its just stupid.'

Curses.

ZOMG, WAS THAT WHAT I THINK IT WAS?!

Guess not.

Anyway, *Orchestra fan-fare* me and B have finished Gamenian! Epic effort!!! I came up with the idea when I was... I think ten? Dunno, so long ago >.< As you can imagine Gamenian has changed a lot. Mainly Tori no longer giggles, and she isn't radioactive. (Long story but basically original version? Lets just say it involved chemicals and a car crash. *shudder*)

Of course, if the eight-year process of writing it (hey, be fair. It has changed a LOT. And we did finish one version, although the fact it didn't have a plot seemed to dimish the accomplishment...) wasn't long enough, we've now gotta edit it. And I will force everyone to love it.

LOVE IT.

Not that I will need to force them, cause everyone will, obviously. >.>

Two of my mates, L and J, are leaving for Wagga in... about 14 days, actually. Dude. Scary...

And I'm going away in two days for coast. Yay! I hate putting my head under water, but I love snorkeling. (I think snorkeling's okay cuz my heads not fully submerged. I dunno. It just dosen't gross me out like head underwater usually does.)

BTW, I'm working at Diva now. Which is a small little jewelry shop with fake jewelry. And although its obviously fake, you still get people coming in asking where our 18 carat gold is.

True story.

Hey! That hurt!

Paintballing. Heaps of fun. But don't listen to people who say 'it doesn't hurt' or 'it doesn't hurt much' because it actually does. Although it all depends on where your hit and how close, your still likely to get at least one shot that makes you go 'sh*** that hurt'. But the thing is it goes away really quickly. Couple of 'ows' and you're right as rain. And it IS awesome. I mean, you get to run around a field being all commando - hiding behind objects, ducking in trenches, and shooting other people. Although I have to say the paint balls taste really bad, so avoid getting it into your mouth. (I was wearing a helmet, but a paint ball splattered on the grill over my mouth and I got a mouth-full of paint. So disgusting) But I guess it serves me right cuz I shot two other people in the mouth ;P

Random thought: why the hell was paintballing invented anyway? I mean, did someone just go 'I want to shot everyone without going to jail for murder' or did it kind of happen on accident? Like a solider in the middle of the war runs out of ammo for his gun, so he picks up a conveniently-placed ball without realizing and throws it at the enemy. And then starts thinking that hey, maybe it could be a sport! And he'd call it ball-throwing... and then after the war he discovers paint works better cuz you can tell who gets hit...

Yes, I know thats random and stupid. But seriously. Why did someone just decide to shoot people with paint? Seems weird to me. :S

I've got freckles... O.o

Seriously weird. I've got freckles on my calves and some on near my eyes I didn't have before. Damn sun... thankfully the ones of my face are fading, but the ones on my calves look like their there to stay. Damn. AND I WORE SUNSCREEN AND EVERYTHING!!! sheesh. Although I missed patches with the sunscreen that resulted in sunburn on feet, knees, and my head. As in scalp head. I didn't even know you could get sunburn there, unless you were bald or something. And with my lot of hair, you'd think I DEFINITELY couldn't. But it was mainly in the area of my scar, so thats probably why. Maybe I should back up a bit - I got the sunburn cuz I went on hols, to some place called Merribulla or something along those lines. It was a nice place, although it would've been nicer with a decent shopping mall. And not because I'm a shop-a-holic - although I do have my moments - but because I love the city. Small towns aren't my thing, and although Mer-whatever wasn't heaps small, it would've been bigger with a mall. :P
It did have some pretty good snorkeling - pretty fishies. Couple of things I learnt about snorkeling:

1. Beware of oysters. I have about nine deep cuts on my feet, hands and knees from getting a bit too close to oyster/mussel covered rocks. Pain... much pain...

2. Beware of sandy spots in the water. Lots and lots of sting rays. They were seriously stalking us - there wasn't a beach we went to that I didn't see at least five. Some were roughly the size of a dinner plate (well, maybe a couple of inches bigger, but that'll give you an idea) while others were seriously at least four or five feet wide. HUGE. Don't get me wrong, their beautiful and all, but when the tail of a four foot ray is sticking up right in front of you, its a little daunting. And when their pretty much EVERYWHERE and your constantly almost stepping on them due to their fascination with the ocean floor, it starts to get a bit creepy.

3. Beware of sisters. My sis J saw a tail of what we now presume was a sand shark under a rock when we were snorkeling, and really freaked. Except all she screamed was 'shark' so my over-active imagination turned into a whole 'Jaws' thing with great whites out to get us etc. She gave me a heart attack! So mad dash for shore. In the end we decided it was most likely a sand shark and ended up going back into the water. We didn't see it again though, so the mystery remains... Was it a sand shark, or was it something more... sinister?!! *Dramatic, Jaws-inspired music*

But yeah, I still had heaps of fun. Although I got sand everywhere. Which leads me to a random idea: magnetic sand. While your on the beach, its perfectly normal, i.e totally annoying. Then the moment you leave the beach, the magnets kick in and you can watch as all your sand goes flying back to the beach, leaving you sand free and even better, your clothes, car, hair, and swimmers sand free! Its perfect!

Although people who liked to use metal detectors on the sand to find other peoples stuff might have to find a new spot. I wonder if metal detectors work in water???

AH! THEIR GONE!!!!

B & E are officially out of here for the next five-and-a-half months. I'm officially moved into their room. And I'm officially freaking. Its kind of weird, actually. Its not the first time they've gone away or anything. But the longest they've gone away for is about a week. But yeah... I miss 'em already (which is just weird O.o) and I'm totally freaking out about their plane trip. I keep on thinking their either gonna crash and burn, or meet some really hot guy (okay, two really hot guys) and marry them and never come home. I don't know which one is worse at the moment >.>

Gah... I hate sisters...

MWHAHAHA!!!!

I'm driving!! On my L's... but driving never the less. :D
We're going to Sydney for the weekend in order to see off B & E. They're going to Europe for like 5 and a half months. I get my own room while their gone, but still... I'm gonna miss 'em lots. :(

Anyway, as something random, I'm gonna:
