bits and pieces of nothing.

I also really adore mute skyping with my American frand! We couldn't hear each other but would just make faces and IM and crack up at what each other said.
We're pretty cool.

I'm getting a bit behind at work...I think it's because I laugh too much! It is seriously the funniest times in the world. I don't think anyone would really understand how funny it is working for BDM. Flip, man.
Today some lady wrote an angry letter saying "I'm deeply corned about this!" and we just mocked the shit out of it. James: "Does anyone want some chocolate?" Sophie: "Yes, and I'll be deeply corned if you do not give me any." ahahahaha.
Then we all made sandwiches as a team. We had to set up for morning tea. We had a Fiji quiz. We ate melon lollies from a Korean shop down the road. It's pretty rad.

listening to Achy Breaky Heart, waiting for my friend Nicole to arrive from Tauranga! woop!

i'm blue.

Now, listen up, here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world. And all day and all night everything he sees is just blue, like him, inside and outside, blue his house with a blue little window, and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him, and himself, and everybody around, cos he ain't got nobody to listen...

kyle.


I just realised I have an obsession with children/young people in movies and books. I think they are the most gorgeous, real, pure characters. I have a real fascination with them. For example, Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, Nono from The Round Up and more recently, Kyle from the film Win Win.
Kyle, oh Kyle. He was so sweet, so slow, so polite. Like, he was kind of a boy from the wrong side of the tracks but he respected his elders. He wasn't trying to be anything he wasn't. The way he wanted to go to the supermarket with Jackie? Adorbs. Out of the blue he's just like "Can I come?" And how he hung out with their 6 year old daughter all the time.
Me and my friend looked at each other and she said "I'm in love with this kid."

I think that's why I want to write books about young people. I find them so interesting, and uplifting. I love childhood/adolescence. I find it so incredibly appealing. I'm so nostalgic to my past, so I guess that's one reason why...

got the moves like jagger


New fave song: 'Moves Like Jagger'. I THOUGHT I WOULD HATE IT. but everytime i hear it, i just want to boogie...all night long.

Had a team meeting today. Phone calls are now getting recorded. Super nervous, as I bet I say some dumb shit on the phone sometimes...oh well, will have to work on it =) Le workmate said that we should answer the calls real gangsta until they put the recording in next Tuesday haha. "Sup, J-Dog here from BDM" hahaha.

And, that is all. My posts are so all over the place these days. Will try to do a proper, more coherent, post soon, my avid followers (aka the internet void...maybe Tara might be reading this. If she is, hi Tara!)

Night =)

new ideaaaaaaa...


I might make a blog about random people I see, or notice, in everyday life. I just love people, and characters, and just seeing how similar and how different we all can be.

stay tuned...

in the meantime, i love this site! www.writing.upenn.edu/library/Mayer-Bernadette_Experiments.html has some great ideas about both blogs/journals and writing.
need to get back into writing. i have been slack and lazy about it, which is not good. writing is all i want to do, yet i don't really do it! except write letters to mothers at work. i write awesome letters, like a BAWSS, I have you know. I am so so so used to writing "Thank you for registering ______ with Births, Deaths and Marriages, received on _________" that my fingers just do it automatically.

i like work. the people are hilarious! god. i have a work quote book and i feel a bit embarrassed sometimes when people read it. i mean, i'm not a stalker, i just love observing and remembering funny stuff. today someone said "oh god, i have to watch what i say!" but i was like nah...it's just funny quotes. and it stays in the book. i don't write down scandalous stuff. my quote book is honestly the coolest thing about work. might publish it one day...naaaaaaah, jokes (*shifty eyes*)

anyway, off to do my washing/clean my room/eat dinner/watch friends. adios.

Lisa Loeb - Stay


This songgggggggggggggggggggg.

and I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

you try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

you said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

you said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose."
and you say, "stay."

you say I only hear what I want to.
