Mandy More and More...'s Journal

10:01pm: Radelaide... 2X in 2 weeks....
Just got back from yet another trip to A-town. Special weekend trip over for none other than my best friend since year five Alicia(and her bro Johns) 21st birthday party. I have to admit I was a bit scared walking up the ramp of the giant wine barrel(aka Adelaide wine centre) as most of the kids invited to the party I havent seen since year 10... but then nobody had really changed. Some didnt recognise me though... a compliment maybe?Well I hope I've changed since being a greasy haired 15 year old. Anyway Jordan and I(and max) had an awesome time partying skating etc.

Can't wait to do it all again.

1:55pm: Does anyone still read this thing?

7:24pm: It has been so long since I have been on here!! I am still so in love. I'm trying to sort out my life and what the hell I want to do with it. I feel like I'm having that year 12 "what do I want to be?" saga way later than I should have. Ah well, maybe I dont want to be anything!! PWOAR!!

3:31pm: ...oh thats so 2003!
Wow, I haven't signed in for ages! I guess I've been pretty busy sorting shit out. Its all been a tad stressful. I've decided I dont really like 2003. 2002 was way more fun. At least theres only 5 months to go, right?

I guess 2003 aint too bad... maybe the universe has figured out some kind of equilibrium between good and bad. Falling in love has definately made 2003 good...but why does it have to be bad at the same time? Arrrr....

Ah well. I guess it will all sort itself out sooner or later.

I just want to hibernate through this icey Melbourne winter.

Yay for heaters.
Yay for blankies.
Yay for cuddly boyfriends.

LJ Barcode LJ username:

Look I have my own barcode!!! There is no point to it it's just cool... ALL RIGHT?

Today was good. I went shopping at Westfied Marion.

I had a dental doctor appointment too. Damn wanker shoved a metal thingy in my unhealed tooth hole... what a strap on!!! I almost cried. As if it wouldnt fucking hurt to have a metal stick stuck into raw open flesh... grrrrr. I am still puffy from the op but kinda looking normal. I have beautiful yellow bruising.

Not much more to report. I am counting the days until my return home.

12:53pm: *Ouch*
So here I am in Adelaide town once again. This time not too much partying to be done. I had all 4 of my wisdoms ripped from my head yesterday and as a side effect I'm currently rocking a look somewhere between the God Father and a blonde Kelly Osbourne.

The Op wasn't as bad as I expected. I must admit I pretended I was in more pain than I really was just so I could get more of that happy drug put in my drip... mmmm.

I'm pretty damn bored at the moment. I wish I was at Rock Karaoke last night. All the kidz have to come to Rock Karaoke with me after my return to Melbourne town on the 16th of July. Its funny how much you want to party when you arnt allowed too. BAM BOW!

Anyway not much to report except I bought an awesome black semi-motorbike jacket and some crazy gold and red adidas shoes while in Adelaide... I didnt even spend over $100! Bargain mate!

I wish I was back in Melbourne. I miss my baby.

11:06pm: yeah yeah yeah
Everything has been so amazing lately.

My lingerie label is at the starting block and ready to go! I have my swing tag being professionally designed by a graphic designer friend. I have a studio space in town looking over Flinders St station, as of mid-july. I have my connections sorted for manufacturing and I have a couple of stores who are already willing to sell my designs!!! I feel set.

I have waited for so long for these opportunities and its finally happening.

Going to Adelaide in a couple of weeks. My wisdoms are getting torn out but at least I get to chill with my fam. I have to be away from my boy though. I never thought I'd be one of those happy couple types but at the moment I'm so unashamedly one. I'm beaming though.

Back to uni work now... i dont think i'm going to pass a couple of subjects this semester, but even so, I dont think anything could put me in a bad mood at the moment.

10:42pm: I have my very own doll! Check it...

12:39am: sighs and smiles
I havent been on here for a while.

I've had an awesome last few weeks. Met a boy who is making me very happy, 24/7.

Adelaide and Brissy kids visiting was a.c.e! Burning up the dance floor at the Green Room rocked my world, especially with Beks titillating set.

I dont really have much to say except I am really happy at the moment.

Im such a boring old tart.

How compatible with me are YOU?

8:56pm: like a maniac...
What a week.

I'm exhausted.

Fluffy ducks.

Thinking of a band name with Aaron.

Rock.

Planning my year off is so good.

Traveling : - N.T
- Tas
- W.A
- Spain?

So excited and happy.

Still missing 121 but feeling good about my new start. Dinner soon old housies?

6:07pm: Our house, in the middle of our street....
So I'm in my new house. It was strange moving all my stuff 6 houses up the street. Thanx to team slutz for helping me move... you guys rule! I hate to sound like Geri Halliwell but "go girl power"! Funniest thing was watching Corinne become engulfed in all my sheets and blankets after a burst of wind. Living, walking, laughing pile of manchester. Wicked.

My first weekend in the house was pretty awesome. I had a John and Yoko style Sunday. So good.

I had a traumatic time on Friday night. I slapped this complete stranger who made me feel threatened. I hate violence and conflict so I was pretty damn shaken' up by it all. He was such an arsehole. I hope Karma kicks his butt.

Anyway I should do some work... I really dont like my chances though!

Miss you all at 121 Rae St..

8:12pm: You've got to love the life you're living. You've got to live the life you love.
So I'm trying to defer my uni course mid year. I hope I can do it. There is so much I want to do with my time off and since discovering some of my favourite boys ever are moving to Melbourne town next month I am even more determined to get time off!

I made hot pink lace undies today with a black frill across the bum and black ribbons at the sides. I lurve them! They are super hottt and cheeky!

The weekend was ace. Party time with the party people. I look forward to partying at my new house very soon with you all... WE HAVE THE BIGGEST BATH TUB EVER!!!

Back to my very over due essay now... its so painful... I'm not kidding...

xox

9:39pm: We are hottt shit...

2:00pm: Spontaneous... yo!
So I was finally persuaded to make the trip over to Adelaide this weekend... and it was awesome!

It all started at Extreme Karaoke at the Laundry with Lue, Alex, Jyoti, Corinne and Bek and ended with Luella and I booked on an overnight bus to A-town.

So happy to see my parents again and to be able to hang out with both new and old friends on my home turf.

Friday night rocked hard with 6 bands playing and finishing at 2:30ish am... no wonder we were all pooped... still had enough energy for The Australian Pizza House though!

Saturday night= muchos fun too! Action park for some action. Lots of standing around outside and boozing. I took photos and cant wait to get them back! YAY! Last ever show of St Albans Kids was fucking amazing and I'm glad I came over for it.

Back in Melbourne now. I thought I would be able to make it to uni today... Sleeping until 1pm seemed to be a better option!

The weekend gave me some time to sort out head stuff. Its funny how some things become so much clearer once you have already made the mistake. I need to get my shit together on so many levels. No more being pushed around. No more being an in-between girl. No more being nice to people who dont deserve my time of day. No more letting small things eat me up inside until its unbearable.

I think its stupid I have so many fucking amazing friends who look out for me and genuinely care for me, then there's a couple of people that can make me feel so awful that I'd rather crawl into a corner and stay there. Thats not going to happen any more.

No more door mat.

9:24pm: I have had the worst diet ever lately! And I wonder why I feel sick? Nachos pretty much everyday... not much nutrience in it. So good though...

9:44pm: Urghhh...omigawd!
Last week I was very bad. Out of 5 school nights I went partying hard for 4 and consequently missed a lump of uni(don't tell my Mum!!).

2 shows, 1 debauched magazine opening and a quiet boozo.

I am so scared to think of stuff that happened at the vice launch. Free beer is always bad news. Ryan McGinley's photos were ace(well the blurred images I remember were). That NY band sucked arse! Tim showed them my knickers. Oh the shame! Maybe it would have been worth it if they were actually good. There was snogging and I have two bite marks, one on my arm and one on my leg... wha? I swapped stilettos with this girl and wore her hot pink shoes for an hour while she wore my yellow ones.

If anything else happened please tell me people... I am very unlikely to remember.

I've had a quiet couple of nights. Watching movies in my pj's and working. I wish I was going to Adelaide next weekend. I want to see the last St Albans Kids Show and hang out with my lovely friends that I miss so much! Tempted to fly over... only if I win the lottery folks!

x

1:31pm: For some reason today I feel like punching someone in the head... Oh well.

Back to Melbourne tonight so I guess I'll see some of you kids soon.

I have so much uni work to do. Bad news for all cos' i'm sure I'm going to be cranky while doing it!

Bai.

1:35pm: "..the only words I hear are more, more and more..."
What a weekend woooooo!

I'm in Adelaide and having an awesome time. It's so nice to be back and full of chocolate.

So much partying! Sunday night I went to Hot Water Music, Nation Blue show at Enigma with my lovable long time friend Alicia. Man, that girl makes me go mental. I don't know what it is about us being around each other but we both go stupid. Drank waaaaaaaaaay too much in her company (what was is? Four pints, one jug and a crown?). We stole a jug of beer from Jimmy Rowes and drank it at a bus shelter... I have photos to prove it!? Ended up at the Australian Pizza House insanely drunk stuffing our faces with garlic damper and dangerous mushroom pizza while an empty beer jug stuck out of my bag... wha? Went back to Alicias to drink Crowns and watch MTV. It was a pretty big, silly night...

Today I met up with my high school friend who has just recently become engaged only to find out she is also 3 months pregnant! The baby is due on the 11th of November near both of our birthdays! I'm so excited for her. I can't believe how grown up she is now. She is only two days older than me! So scary.

Well, I'm off to try and write and essay. I haven't even finished the introduction yet...grrrrrrrrr.

x

9:30pm: YAY, FOR KNICKER MAKING CLASS!!!

Today I almost finished my first under wire bra today then I came home and made the best black lacey knickers in the world! hahaha... maybe not the best in the world but I'm pretty damn happy with them. I think I'm going to make a few sample copies and get my friends to try em out... feedback is ace!

This weekend should be interesting. I can't wait to dance hard again!

x

*NIKKI NIGHTHAWK*
When you get an address please, please, please send it to me! I have stuff to send out to you. I hope life is treating you well.x

9:53pm: fluoro colour, the best colour.
Another weekend, gone?! How weird. This time next week I am going to be in A-town. How refreshing!

I went to the Green Room last night and saw the Maydays play with Lue, Jerry and Corinne. I think I consumed more alcoholic beverages than I thought because my head was a little achy this morn. I had a good time at Cherry even though crap dj Kerry was spinning the records. NOFX at Cherry? Wha? Anyways, I got to shake my toosh and thats all thats matters.

Today was pretty damn fine. This morning Alex rang Ben and Guy in Japan and I got to speak to Ben. We talked about cute boys which was sooooooooooo much fun! Heehee, I am totally making a cute boy folio for Ben.

After that I was pretty damn perky and hopped onto a tram and went saw Corinne get tattooed for a couple of hours. Went back to Corinne's Mums and hung out with some kids and some dogs(Pants, Betty and Beef haha). Watched dracula then came home to each Noodle Palace take away... Oooo satisfying day!

Must "work" now... yeah right.

x

9:17pm: Home Alone nostalgia... Wha?!
Whats with my weird arse dreams lately? Last night I dreamed that I was dating (and madly in love with) Mr Macaulay Culkins. It was a pretty good dream. Alex figured out the origins of the dream probably evolved from me reading Smash Hits before I went to bed... Hmmm... I would like to think it was a vision of things to come. heehee. If Danny can snog Boy George I think I can snog Culkins!!!

ANYWAY...

I am so incredibly tired. I can't wait until the easter break when I get to go home again.

I think I'm going to party hard tomorrow night... I hope they play Andrew W K.

Yeah.

x

5:12pm: I have a bear named Edmund.
Why am I so happy today? I shouldn't be since I have just discovered I'm jinxed.

Oh well! Being happy is ace.

I had a great weekend. Sarah was over from Adelaide and made me heaps happy. I went to 3 shows... all were awesome. Very content at the moment.

And to top it all off tomorrow at uni I get to learn how to design and construct an under wire bra...whoot, whoot!

Yay!

x

8:56pm: I wanna be your Dog Mr Iggy Pop...
Last night I dreamt I was going out with Iggy Pop. Not 1960's, Stooges era Iggy but today's Iggy. I woke up still believing I was his girlfriend. It was a very realistic dream.

10:04pm: I want to dance on a slippery floor and leave the rest up to fate.
