The night is late and I is sleepy now.
I have to make this quick and fast.... I know I've explained it to most of you anyways, but I think some.... well, just takes more than once :p
It wasn't my fault to begin with, I was a victim too.
Here's the story, about 4 weeks ago my hotmail account got hijacked and the asshole who hijacked it sent an email to everybody in my address book and, judging by the number of bounce back emails I received, Asshole-man (and yes, I know it was a male cos no girl would do such stupid useless things) also sent emails to people I have sent emails to in the past.
I also know this happened because I send emails to myself at work all the time (because people don't love me enough ;) and my work email is definitely not in my address book.
You can imagine my surprise when late one night I get an email on MaeBerry from.... MYSELF! I know I'm good, but to send an email to myself without myself knowing, that's pretty incredible.
I read the email too and figured it was so generic, surely people aren't dumb enough to think it was from me.... it wasn't a joke, it wasn't funny, it wasn't inspiring, it wasn't enlightening, it wasn't named, and it didn't have my name on it! How can my friends think it was from me?
So, I'm sorry if you thought it was from me and I really hope your computer didn't catch a nasty virus.
Not as sorry as me though, Mr Asshole-man took the liberty to delete some of my beloved emails too, Jerk. As if hijacking my email and tricking my friends was not enough, he also had to take away my memories.
I hope whoever he is, he can go choke on a piece of debris from the information highway.
There, you see now. Not my fault at all. Please, it's time to get over this.
Night!
Next post, all about my mystery bruise

News Update
Woah, what a mess.
I just re-read what I wrote in my last few posts and I do apologise for the disgustingly horrid non-sensical-ness of my shoddy writing abilities (or abilities lack there of, as apparently obvious)
There was just so much to cover and I had wanted to put everything, absolutely EVERYTHING down so that I would never ever ever forget them but what came out just seemed to be word-vomit.
Sorry.
Doesn't help that I, once again, have tonnes to cover and not a lot of time or patience to note it down in any particular sensical way... so here goes some random thoughts and updates on what has been the goings-on in this little corner of sunshine...
~ 3 September, I wrote something about having a weird dream... yes I know I know, I am not one normally averse to weird dreams. In fact, I quite often have weird dreams and am very happy to share these with whomever is willing to listen (willing listeners = my dear wonderful co-workers, who must be bored silly by now). But this one stood out from the rest. This weird dream did not feature Mark Wahlberg as my beloved. No. This weird dream was full of zombies and vampires. It was action-packed and full of adventure!
It was like a movie, and I, the star!
In this movie, I was one of the few remaining humans alive on earth and I was running for dear life away from the zombies who were trying to suck my brains out. I was in a race and I was fast.
Somehow, during all this running and escaping, I befriended a vampire.... don't really remember what happens after that, I just remembered lots of running, lots of zombies, a vampire and then feeling extremely exhausted the next day at work because I felt like I had been up running all night (funny about that....)
So anyways, weird dream, I figured it must've meant something so of coure, did the ol' 'google it' thingy and turns out this is what it all represents:
Zombie
To see or dream that you are a zombie, suggests that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are feeling out of touch. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are feeling dead inside and are simply going through the motions of daily living
To dream that you are attacked by zombies, indicates that you are feeling overwhelmed by forces beyond your control. You are under tremendous stress in your waking life.
Vampire
To see a vampire in your dream, symbolizes seduction and sensuality, as well as fear and death. The vampire represents contrasting images of civilized nobility and aggression/ferocity. It may depict someone in your waking life whose charm may ultimately prove harmful. Deep down inside you know that this person is bad for you, yet you are still drawn to it. Vampires also sometimes relate to decisions about sex and losing your virginity. Alternatively, to see a vampire suggests that you are feeling physically or emotionally drained.
There ya go.
Stressed. Physically/ emotionally detached. Dead inside. Forces beyond my control.
Someone bad for me??? Why didn't someone tell me earlier that vampires were bad for me!
Jokes aside though, the interpretation of that dream really quite surprised me because this time last year I would have agreed completely, it would've been a yes, yep, ahuh, agree, yup and YES! to all of the above. (2008: My year of the Tortuous). If I had had that dream last year, my reaction would have been more like "gees, tell me something I don't know, Genius..."
But today, I am feeling awesome. Things can always be better of course (I could be making more money, I could be not working, I could be travelling....) but at least I now feel like I have a handle on things. My world is not the mess that it once was. I'm not struggling through each day just counting hours and waiting for the seconds to pass wondering why I have to wake up each morning. I'm not always wondering. I don't feel useless and out of control anymore. I don't feel like a piece of dead weight being dragged around.
I feel good. I feel good about myself, I feel good about job, I feel good in general.
I can feel better but... I'm a work in progress.
So yes, learning the possible meaning of that weird zombie-riddled action adventure of a dream did take me quite by surprise because today I can confidently say, no, no, no, not really and don't think so to all of the above.
The only explanation I have for having such an odd dream is there is no explanation. It was dream.
Just a dream and nothing more. There is no special meaning to be read into it. It was a fun, weird yet exhausting dream.
Moving on, mmmm.... Tassie. Ahhhh, Launceston, beautiful Lonnie. Beautiful, stunning, relaxing and delectable. Love Lonnie. Cheese, wine, cheese, wine, wine and food in a gorgeous mansion. Roman Baths, my those Roman Baths. I could live there just for those Roman Baths..... cheese, wine, great food, big mansion, spa retreat - nothing more is needed in life.
And, the Melbourne Show - I had true intentions to go to the Show this year. I haven't been for at least 15-16 years now. Too long, and I really really really really wanted to go this year :(
Stoopid Mother Nature. Bitch. Now I gotsta wait until Sept 2010 :(
I also had planned a little trip upto Sydney earlier this year, but that never happened. I was bitterly disappointed, because I miss my buddies up north, and I really wanted to spend my birthday out of Melbourne again (trying to start some kind of trend but it ain't happening...)
Anyways, Sydney got postponed to November, so part of the Spring Carnival will be spent in the Big S and I'm thrilled to bits! I have finally found some time to hike up there for a relaxing and much deserved break. Counting down the days as we speak, my dear lovelies in Syd-en-y, please prepare for my imminent arrival as I plan on some non-stop food-action and I'm taking you all with me! Too many places I want to visit, not enough hours in a day. (No Tetsuya's though, poop. Just a tad slightly out of my price range.... this time round)
Other goings-on, a dear friend gave me a book on cupcakes. Noice. I love to cook, but I hate to bake. Baking is for mums and grannies. It was never my thing. I'm the kind of girl that does the eating dessert thing very well, but ain't so good with the making dessert thing.....So, I've been trying my dab hand at making cupcakes. Not as easy as it looks. I'm still perfecting my skills and techniques...... nobody has died yet (good sign) and definitely no tasters have spat any back out (a great sign!)
We always get lots of giggles when we make a batch of cupcakes. Who knew baking could be so much fun?
Work is going well, my boss is a cool dude, we have fun in our department. How can you not have fun with a bundle of joy like myself around the place? It's a very eye-opening experience this job, I have come across a whole new species of stupid-heads. So stupid in fact that for a number of weeks, the following was a recurring conversation between boss man and myself:
Boss man: Shit, how stupid can people get?
Me: Don't underestimate stupidity because you just can't fix stupid.
Repeat that about a billion times. My head was constantly banging on the table out of sheer frustration of people's stupidity-ness. Fortunately, due to my super organizational skills and incredible intellect (plus/ minus a few amazing colleagues), many of the issues have been resolved and no longer occur.... and hopefully never will occur again. I am awesome. What will they do without me? :P
I love my job.
oh, final news - my little brother is ENGAGED!
And I am....
Not.
(*phew*)
(And now quickly and subtlely change topics...)
Ummm, did I mention that I was taken to Vue de Monde for my birthday this year?
No?
Well, let me tell you, it was the highlight of my year so far!
I will go as far as saying it could be the best meal ever. Ever.
I won't bore you, dear lovelies, with the details yet again, but when you see me, please humour me when I show you yet again, the photos of my awesome birthday meal at VdM. I am in deeply in love with the place.
