Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Dimmukane:
God is an Astronaut are pretty all around rockin'. It may not be the greatest album ever but it is damn good.
Inlander:
From the Saddler Institute of Foodology, home of the world-famous anchovy mash, comes the latest taste sensation: Hendricks, tonic, and sage leaves.*
*Warning: may not work with other brands of gin.

I made some new friends at the punk show last night! They invited me to this rad-sounding reggae/first-wave ska party they're having in a few weeks.

This post is long because a lot of things are happening
(A) The plan
My parents have been hardly appreciative of my scholarly efforts most of my life. That's partly because my brothers and me got it done without much encouragement and because my sister had a harder time with school and needed the pats on the back.
Anyway - it came as a surprise when they told me they are giving me a ticket for a trip around the world for graduation. I've wanted to do that since forever and it is oh so awesome.
BUT:
Whenever I get closer to the topic, all of a sudden they go back on their word. Originally planned as a 4-month thing, my dad now suggested to do it in 8 weeks. And whenever I bring up travel planning (i.e. I changed the route and dropped South East Asia in favor of South America), I can see that my mom really doesn't want me to do it at all.
Which is a problem because I'm supposed to pay for and pick up the ticket and visa tomorrow. It's hard to work with unreliability.
(B) The happening
My route now goes Australia - New Zealand - Pacific coast (California + British Columbia) - South Atlantic coast (Buenos Aires + Sao Paulo) - back home.
And if it all works out, I fly in 54 hours.
For Melbourne, I have arranged that I can stay with people from Hospitality Club and Couchsurfing for a few days yadayadayada my brother has to go to the train station I will finish this later.
Now:
... but for the 1,000 km between Melbourne and Sydney I haven't a clue of how I will travel and where I will stay. It's a peculiar feeling because it's both good and godawful.
Any aussies in that area who can put me up? I will gladly pay you back in funny stories or dashing music numbers.
(C) All the shit on the sidelines
[announcer voice]: "Previously on Blog Thread ..."
I broke up with my girlfriend of almost 4 years. Wrong place wrong time rather end it in a civil way than end up hating each other forever etc.
Almost simultaneously, a girl who herself has a long-term boyfriend put a whole cavalcade of moves on me and being recently single and on the rebound, I responded in kind.
Assorted fondling and make-outs ensued.
Yesterday night I met the boyfriend. Previously I had assumed that we were kind of similar but I'm the self-proclaimed Adam Davies to his Ari Gold (to quote Entourage: "Because I'm younger, cooler and better-looking than you. And because I can."). Essentially, I'm him 2.0 - a little less lazy and with a healthy sex drive.
So he didn't join us for the night out yesterday but another friend of hers did and he slept in the same bed as us and no it didn't stop much and I feel sleazy now.
And great. Because growing up as a nerd made me believe that all this is the pinnacle of everything cool and awesome.
It feels mixed. Not just awesome but not bad at all either.
EDIT: Pic relevant. It's her.
TL;DR: I am going far away and I leave destruction in my wake. Life, for the lack of a better word, is good.
Barmymoo:
So on Friday morning we were walking to the car and I said "it's a bit icy, walk on the grass" and my mum says "I don't have the same problem with my shoes that you seem to" and then she slipped over and broke her wrist. Whilst lying on the floor waiting for the paramedics she lost conciousness a lot and when they picked her up she started throwing up. The hospital thought she might have bruised her spinal cord but it is fine, it was just a lot of pain that made her sick. Now her right arm is in pot and a sling.
Friday was not fun times.
Yesterday was not noteworthy.
Today I have made a cake! It is a cherry cake and it is currently baking and I'm proud of it. Perhaps I will not starve when I go to university! I also know how to make bubble and squeak now, so that is a balanced diet no?
This time next week I'll be in Cambridge shitting bricks about my ability to convince someone that I am 4x more awesome than the next girl, and therefore deserve the spot in their university. I will take the biography of Disraeli that I'm reading, to look more intelligent (also it is an awesome biography).
