    <lj:music>We Walk - The Ting Tings</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So I've just completed my third week back at uni studying animation for the first time... and I'm LOVING it!&lt;br /&gt;I'm finally doing what I want to do, everything I'm being taught makes sense and the assessment is actually useful (as opposed to education which didn't make any sense to me at all -_-;; ). My units are interesting ^_^o I'm studying Visual Communication, Creative Industries: People &amp; Practices, Drawing for Design (my fav) and Animation and Motion Graphics (the most intense)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visual Communication's assessment is pretty awesome. We have to design an object/device that will enhance or restrict the human body, then construct all the visual components related to it, such as the design of the object, the advertising, the logo, etc. I was a little worried at first that I wouldn't come up with a good enough idea in time &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; but luckily Mirues gave me the awesome idea of designing an object that will ease PMS and period pain. ^_^o Tis going to be awesome, we have so many ideas for marketing. My favourite design for the device so far is a pretty, shiny jewel-like device that clips onto your underpants. Twill be fun to design the packaging for it ^^ but yes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drawing for Design is my favourite class. We basically sit in a studio for 2-3 hours sketching and working on exercises... then everything we do in that time (and outside of class) we put into a powerpoint and submit XD tis awesome!! The lecturers/tutors have a wicked sense of humour too. They're very entertaining ^_^ and I feel they give some really helpful advice. We get to do life drawing too ^_^o luckily the last model was really pretty and had a good figure to draw~~ so I got some really good pose references for future. AND I learnt how to animate something in photoshop in just 10 MINS!! I've been wanting to learn that for years &amp;gt;__&amp;lt; it's so simple!!! *is so happy*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creative Industries: People &amp; Practices is all theory, but it's incredibly useful and relevant to me. There are 1500 people in the unit but everyone in my tut is studying Animation so we all have a common interest and set goal ^^ Most love disney, (even the guys!) and prefer 2D over 3D!! YAY!! My first piece of assessment (due next friday but I have it done already ^^) is just a 500 word online profile (so no academic writing~~ twas a challenge to write simply @__@ ) about myself as a creative practitioner ^^ I can put it straight into my career profile! The second is a 1000 word report on a creative practitioner (e.g. write about someone like Walt Disney or Brad Bird) and the last one is another essay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animation and Motion Graphics is my most troublesome unit. I'm really excited about the assessment and the topic but since I haven't had much experience using After Effects before, I have a LOT of study and practice to do &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; If I practice heaps, I should be fine~ just need to get a feel for the program ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yes, absolutely LOVING it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily, even though James and I go to separate unis and have different timetables, we still get to see each other around twice a week ^__^o I was so worried before that with our uni stuff and James's work, we wouldn't be able to see each other at all this semester &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; ... sadly I don't see Matt-Matt or Naomi very much... Matt-matt moved out just before uni started. He's got an awesome place walking distance from Kelvin Grove QUT! *stayed at his a few times in the first few weeks cos of an 8am lecture tuesday mornings* I hope he's found a job now as I know he needs one... it's so hard to find them lately. I've given up searching. Just going to focus on doing well at uni and doing commissions whenever I can~~ I'm really lucky mum's supporting me ^_^o and miles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bought me the computer I'm using right now @_@ It's so fast! *loves it so much* Mum bought me a new desk and chair too! Since Matt moved out, we got the study back so Mirues decided to take over the whole room... leaving me nowhere to put my computer.. theeeen we discovered that the space right beside the upstairs family room computer would be perfect to fit a desk and chair and, even though it's right in the open for all to see, it wouldn't look that messy if we got the right desk and chair ^_^ Took a bit of convincing to get mum to allow it but it's perfect!! And I can have aircon whenever I want here XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asides from all that, there's not much to tell. I really should be working on my AE practice &amp;gt;_&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, jaa!</content>

    <content type="html">As of last Monday, I am 19years old...&lt;br /&gt;and I'd have to say, this past year has been the best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many good things have happened to me ^_^ I've completed my first year of uni~! (hopefully without failing any subjects @_@), I've lost friends, gained friends and become stronger friends with those who are close to me, I'm in a happy (however distant) relationship with a beautiful manly nerd (*snicker*), I finally got my DS XD (Oooo how long have I wanted thee, nintendo.... ) and I've been spoilt rotten to no end~ ^.^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My birthday gifts were rather excellent this year too~ (and I got some of them early XD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mum (after much convincing) bought me my lurvely pink DS Lite, Clubhouse Games and accessories ^.^ as well as a really nice blank-paged diary (perfect for sketching!) and a book on colour healing (really interesting~). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dad's gone and bought me a laptop ^_^ It's a bit old (2003 I believe) but he's done it up - and with confirmation from my computer-genious lil brother - it'll be perfect for me~ Shall be getting that on wednesday ^.^ (I'm going to visit him from the 21st november til the 1st dec. Yay! Cable tv, air con and UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF TEH BEST ICED COFFEE EVER AT MAH FINGERTIPS!! ^o^ )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother spoilt me by spending his own money to COMPLETELY update mah computer @_@ (so... happeh.... ) and he bought me an external harddrive ^_^o I don't have to ask him for anime or movies anymore~ &amp;lt;3 YAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naomi bought me AWESOME airplane earrings!! &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; Love them so much - so sparkly ... *is wearing them now* while Matt (Oh I ruv juu...) bought me Nintendogs (IT'S SO COOL! Voice activation! o.o My digital puppy - a chihuahua named 'keeki' or Cake - it's written in katakana ^^ - responds to mah voice!... only need Avatar n Meteos: Disney Magic now n ah'm set for mah gaming for a while ^.^ ). Alex-kun n his girlfriend Tally spoilt meh by getting me A MASSIVE Mega Blocks "Ariel Underwater Kingdom".... ages 1+ hehehhe he knows me too well - but it's so cute! I'm gonna build it on mah desk ^.^ bwuhahahah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natalie bought me sparklers n shiny Tinkerbell earrings and Heffy gave meh $20 (which ah'm saving for Avatar ^^ ). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best gifts came from Josh though... Don't think he realizes how brilliant his gift is. On my actual birthday he rang me and sung meh happy birthday, playing on the piano (hilarious accent XD)and, much to my surprise, said he'd managed to get me a card and that it should be there in the mail. Had said many times, sounding guilty, that he still didn't know what to get me and that it would have to be an 'I.O.U.' &amp;lt;-- to which I said not to worry as I didn't expect anything @_@ but was thrilled to get a card XD *loves cards* .... but yes.... got home many many hours later (I had a study group in brissy on my b'day -_- ... exam was in two days - luckily ah think I did well ^_^ ), went to the mailbox and sighed when there was only business letters there.... only to walk to my door and find this MASSIVE bouquet of flowers waiting for me at the door!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd never received flowers like that before... EVER.... and as typical as it is to give a girl flowers - it really means a lot to me ^_^ I just love the whole idea of getting them. In my opinion, it's the sweetest thing a guy can do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, I'd only ever received flowers twice: a rose from Matt-Matt on Valentine's Day last year (which was really sweet ^_^o he gave a rose to each of his best female friends~ ), and a small bouquet of pink flowers from Prince (that I left in Melbourne as I didn't know if I could take them on the plane or not with me T_T ) when I went to Melbourne for a visit 3years ago. Both of which are my two best male friends - and who I wasn't dating at the time (In fact I was single both times ^^; ). Both times really lovely gifts - but not the same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yes... Tamuski and Armando also spoilt me XD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To celebrate my b'day - I invited a bunch of my closest friends to come to timezone with me in surfers... not the brightest thing to do since we went on the first day of schoolies ^^;; buuuut still lots of fun ^.^ Matti, Tahg and Sasha couldn't make it - but everyone else came and we all played muchos games and had fun. The highlight though, was what we did after gaming... after 5 years of looking at this place and wishing we would go in (always said 'one day' or 'next time').... Tahli, Armando, Matt, Naomi and I.... all went and got OLDEN DAY PHOTOS!! &amp;gt;___&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DON'T WE LOOK SEXEH!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/Random/Groupoldtime.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Left to right: Matt (looks like he just killed someone o.o ), Naomi (very sexeh pic ^_^ love her pose), Myself (I look like the leader keke... wish I had off the shoulder T_T), Tahli (her outfit was gorgeous! Suits her so well @_@ and the cigarette XD she's a smoker) and Armando(vereh cool ^.^ )~)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/Random/Lauroldtime.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Me... heheh they originally gave me a gun - but after realising I had one in the other shot - switched it for money... They made me look so evil!! XD *loves it* )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/Random/Mattoldtime.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Matt-matt looks so good as a cowboy ^_^ )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/Random/Naomioldtime.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(DAMN this suits Naomi so well @_@ )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/Random/TahliandArmandooldtime.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Such a gorgeous shot of Tahli and Armando ^_^o I wish they had of kept the other one though XD That one was priceless! The camera guy told them to look at each other - so Tahli looked at Armando with this look of disgust hahahah twas so funny - looked great! but nya... they kept this one... which is sweet nonetheless ^_^ )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love them all so much ^.^ &amp;lt;33 I have the real thing of the group and my own pic (and currently matt-matt's one - he told me I could have it but I think his mum'll want it XD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kekeke Tahli showed my mum and she absolutely adores them! Now she's talkin about getting one of Miles, her and myself ^_^o Which'll be AWESOME!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tahli n I are plotting our next one toos XD Next time Josh is here - we've decided we're gonna get a group Mobster one ^.^ Bring on teh roarin' 20s!! &amp;lt;333 It'll look so cool!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yah... on a completely different note - my work is finally giving me shifts @_@ I got a WHOLE 12hrs this mon n tues XD YAY!

    <content type="html">Only 3 more days for me in melbourne. We extended my trip by an entire week at the co-operation of my Jap lecturors (I had an exam today ^^; we resheduled it to monday instead)... I'm a little torn really. I miss my family and friends... but I really don't want to go home. I'm not looking forward to all my assessment and exams. I'm not looking forward to sleeping alone. I not looking forward to possibly being 'single' again... hoping for that not to become a reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time truly has flown and a lot has happenned while I've been here. After my flight was delayed by 3.5hrs (I was on my own T_T ), I got to see my darling at the airport and then get some good sleep once we caught a train and tram home. I've been to the city many times, took part in a part of a flash mob at flinder's street, caught up with Prince and Nina, went to the Melbourne Royal Show (Josh's got the best location! LITERALLY right across from the showgrounds! Fireworks everynight for over a week ^_^ &amp;lt;3 ), bought a new phone that I love (as of yesterday that is. My beautiful old phone went for a ride in the washing machine... -_- ), met heaps of great people, watched all the series of Coupling and finally saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Fantastic film.), heard Josh play much much wonderful piano and sing (highlight), and despite a small breakdown one night - been very very happy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm happy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... however short the time... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm happy with him.</content>

    <content type="html">Frou Frou song title... anywho... what a shite day -_-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed. It's been raining all day, and as much as I LOVE rain... it has screwed my day over completely...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, making me extra sleepy n cosy in the morning and a big effort to get out of bed at 8am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, waiting at the bus bay for 40 minutes in the rain, with no umbrella, HOPING that it would get me to work on time. After ringing mum, I eventually gave up on the bus idea and chose to get a taxi, as if I were to start walking I would be at least 20 mins late AND drenched from head to toe.... so... just as I've crossed the road... guess what passes me by? THE FRICKEN BUS... &amp;gt;__&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then... as I asked mum to call a taxi for me, she rings back saying THANKS to the rain there have been major delays and they couldn't say how long the taxi'd be -__-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I panicked. I was gonna be majorly late for work, I was cold, wet and I hadn't eaten or drunk anything... and I had a painful 40minute walk ahead of me + 4hrs of work... I  stressed out... I very rarely stress out... it's weird though, when I do stress out, it's over little things like this... being late for work... when I've been through so much worse and it doesn't phase me .__. it's weird...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yes... walked to the Mobil near by and got another call from mum asking what I wanted to do, either walk or wait for the taxi. I ended up waiting for the taxi, 15 minutes with no where to sit and no shelter. THANKLORD it came when it did -__- I got to work with just a minute to spare (which was taken up with getting changed and finding I'd lost my work badge)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actual work was good though... One of my first customers was this nice old man, first thing he said to me was: "You are very very beautiful..." Just called me "beautiful" all the time XD I love people like that... not the creepy old men - but the nice ones - treats you like their own grandchildren or something... I get a few of those... most call me "darlin" n whatnot. Old ladies are AWESOME! Especially the ones with sense of humour ^_^ Makes it worthwhile coming to work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yea... at least work, itself, was okays... was a steady day so time went faster... though then I had to walk home -__- ... n it was bucketing down... I got completely drenched (THANKGAWD MAH WORK SHIRT IS DARK BLUE! &amp;gt;__&amp;lt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's so good to be home... supposed to be going to the movies tonight with Matti-kun, Tony n Tim n whatnot... Hope it's still on n that mum'll take me .__.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hehehe I'm so glad I have Josh n Prince to rely on to cheer me up though hehehe.. even when they're not online ^_^ Josh's email (HOMG I got an email?!?!) made me laugh... n I had Prince's post on MKG RP to look forward to all day! &amp;gt;__&amp;lt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now I just wanna snuggle in my bed n watch tv T_T .... mmmm that sounds good...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I might do that... *sigh* wish ah had someone to snuggle up WITH Hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... xx Laur</content>

    <content type="html">HAPPY BIRTHDAY STATIC, BIG BROTHER!!! LOVE YOU!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heheh Today is Sasha's, my adopted big brother's, 20th birthday! ^__^ Aaaand last night, in celebration to such joyous occassions, he held a gathering at his home. Reknowned for his partays, this was certainly no exception and proved to be a very good night ^_^ One that dragged well in to the morning XD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe I got.... mmm... 1hr of sleep? If that. Miles, my younger brother (blood), didn't sleep at all! lol He's been asleep since we got home though - which was around 7am ^^ Mum came and picked us up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heheheheh I'm so glad Sash liked his pressies! I got him a Brian (Family Guy) Coffee Mug, a toy horn aaand a "Pin the Cucumber on the Hunk" blow-up game XD He LOVED IT!! (psst.. the cucumber thing has meaning from a good 4 years ago! haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I basically spent most of the night with the birthday boy, receiving hugs from said brother aaaand many, many, many a random (and familiar face). Twas great fun ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I even called Joshy when I was there!! hehe He wished Static a Happy Birthday n chatted to some randoms (Sash was tipsy by thens, I dare say even drunk)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I'm going to say is that the turn out was fantastic, I saw a LOT of people I hadn't seen for a long while, got up to 40-50 people throughout the night ah say, got hit on a few times (to which I shut them down profusely hehehehe ... funny drunkards), got to know some friends a lot better than I used to, namely Scott, and had a blast ^__^o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About ten of us stayed til 6am XD (the party started around 7pm the day before - Alex, Miles and I arrived around 8pm hehehe)Oh!! And apparently Lipton Iced Green Tea goes GREAT with Vodka.... Sash and Ben stole the remnants of my tea .___. (b@stards.... they better feel priveleged... I loveded u teaaa... I loveded u!!! {sorry.... Jess had an invader zim shirt n jacket XD n I've recently just watched all/most of the series hehe })&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAN'T WAIT TIL JOSH'S WELCOMING PARTY (u better come damnit... it'll be muchos worth u'r while ^.^ ) AND CHARLIE'S!!!! AND EMMA'S!! AND COURTNEY'S!! WOO!! SO MANY PARTIES!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F@K YES!! Ashleigh Tams, Ashley Burns, Courtney, Ben Straube, possibly Sash and I are going Clubbing!!! WOOOOOOO~~ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hahahah I'm so glad I don't drink, smoke or do drugs... I get to remember everything that happenned XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Jess, if you're reading this (however unlikely), I want the photos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH MY OUTFIT WAS HOT BTW XD (yes... I'm admitting my outfit looked hot...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I needed to wear a shirt underneathe.... bra kept on showing... not that the guys seemed to mind &amp;gt;_&amp;gt; nor Stacey XD who just kept giving me hugs every 10 minutes (literally) saying "I LOVE YOU, DARLING!" &amp;lt;--- that and hat (sasha's army hat and beret) swapping hehehehe... good times.... good times... ARMY HAT IS MINE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ne ne, back to outfit. ^_^ I wore black 3/4 tights under an Emily the Strange white dress with Cat faces n red marks all over it &amp;lt;33 aaaand my yellow cardi hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hair WAS straight... but within an hour it had gone frizzy and curled &amp;gt;__&amp;gt; It was so hot at sasha's... too many people for straightening hair (hence why stacey and I got hats in the first place)... ((Once I get photos I'll edit this entry/add a new one))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah, bloody brilliant shindig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is all. ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT: Got the photo hehe ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/mow_cat/blua/ec28c7ba.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(From left to right: Stacey D, Me, Ian, Sasha kissing Ian XD and my little brother in blue, Miles) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish my hair was out in that shot T_T Face looks terrible... my hair was dead straight n shiny when I arrived.. that was after an hour inside XD - I got sash's hat bout 20 minutes after this photo. ^^</content>
