Day from the underside of a worm's bottom

Yup - it really was that bad. Henceforth, all sucky, really, nasty, awful, bad days are known as Days-from-the-underside-of-a-worm's-bottom. Gahhhh!!!!!!!! Stupidness!

And things was it started off reasonably well. Sure, I was tired when I got up - I could've slept another four hours, but my lecture wasn't boring, I met an old friend and had a brief, but good chat with her and we're gonna catch up sometime. It's good stuff.

But then I had to shop for a birthday present on a time limit - NEVER AGAIN - it is way tooo hard. And to add to that, my pay didn't come through, and I needed to charge it... And then, after my feet where suitably blistered up, it was time to go as I was late for my tutorial back on my campus, which was a twenty minute drive away. Not a problem - Ha!!

I realised I didn't have any change what-so-ever to pay for my parking ticket. So trudging around the shops for another half an hour/three quarters of an hour desperately trying to find a shop that could give me cash out without having to spend over ten bucks to get the cash and oh. I just couldn't do it. So it was another ten minute walk to my Mum's office to scab money off her.

I felt so guilty when I showed up - she was so pleased, and I had only come to get money off her... T.T Whaaa! I was all - this is sooo bad. I mean, I had planned to visit her before I ran out of time... And then money, and yeah.

But anyway, she was soo nice about it - (Love ya lots an lots Mum, you're the greatest Mum/friend a girl could have! ^^) So another ten minutes to walk back (owie, my achin' feet) and I was finally free!

Tell you what, my sister better fully appreciate her present - what a trial to get it! I feel like a modern day knight or something - braving the perils of the mall!

Which reminds me - Happy Birthday to my bestest friend besides God - my dear sister Emi!

Gotta go - tinka

*Jaw drops* AHHHHHHH!!!!! O.O

I HAVE TO SCREAM THIS OUT LOUD BECAUSE IT IS THE CRAZIEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!

*takes deep breath*

I have fallen in love for the first time...


With a computer program..................................... -_-;

Let me explain - for the artists out there that are limited by a tight budget (like me! >= P) - I might just have the right drop for you!

THE GIMP It's a free, (*gasp*) downloadable program that you can use instead of Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator. I don't know if it's as good as a Adobe, but according to my IT friend it is. And he should know. But anyway, that's besides the point...

Because the real point here is that there is a FREE program that you can download to help with your Graphic Art if you can't afford the real deal.

And that's why I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!! I HEART THE GIMP! :

Google THE GIMP - and voila!!! You're on your way to better art already!

*happy sigh*

Really, truely, the Gimp is the best thing I have discovered (art-wise) so far. I literally was having a coniption* yesterday while I was testing it out. It was - gah - just can't discribe it...

And yeah. So I am insanely happy (isn't it the only way to be?) at the moment.

Lol.

See ya! Tinkabell ^^

*Coniption. verb (con-nip-shon)

1. Bouncing madly around while making little squee's of
excitement
2. Having a heart attack while stressing FAR to much about
something

noun

1. Wildly, insanely, literally off-your-rocker with excitement
2. Stressed out beyond stupidity

P.S. - Yes, the word coniption was made up between The Fluffy Kitties - my
sisters and I. ^^ (C) 2006.

Well.

Life is stuff, stuff is life. My deep, one second thought for the day. ^^; So anyways...

How long does it take to get to being a good artist? Like, I checked out heise's (from DeviantART) work today and tripped out... Ahhh! Too much good art work/artists out there! Sometimes I find it really hard to understand why I even bother, but the compelling whisper that floats through my mind (commenly known as inspiration) won't let me give up. Stupidness. Even when things don't go the way I want them too. : /

*Lol* It's all good. Wonder why I even bother writing about it. Not like anything's ever going to change!!!

So, anyways, I'm doing a third year subject in my second year at Uni - this is going to be fun! >.<>

Hmm - and don't you just love running into ex's? Good times...

As you can proably tell, I'm out to waste time until my tutorial for the subject I'm dropping starts, so I really have nothing to say.

All though, sometimes nothing can be far more interesting than something - depending on the topic!! Anyhoo, gotta go. Forgot to buy a textbook I need.

TTFn, Tika.



Tika.

UPDATE

Better update I guess.

Back at Uni - lots of work this semester - four units, and yeah. Lots of work at my job as well, 'coz I am flat strapped, and need a LOT of money to pay my debts!!! And Bob (my car) blew a head, so now he's offically dead unless I come up with the dough to fix him. -.-'

Life can really chuck you some corkers - some good news is that my ankles are getting better, so I can work again! (Finally!!!)

O yeah - an' how weird is it when you run into really old ex-s? I bumped into my first at my Uni bookshop, and we chatted, but it was weird. Not the whole -ahh-my-ex-gotta-be-polite sort of weird - but another kind... Hmmm. Dunno, but anyways.

That's it from me for now - have a good one!

Tika.

la-di-da-de-dum-lia-laaaa!

Uh - haven't got to much to say... Going to Merry Beach for the weekend, which'll be awesome. Then I'm going road tripping with four of my grilfriends to Batemans next week. Yay!!! Beach!!!! w00t!

oyeah - I streaked my hair purple yesterday which was fun - it looks so cool now. I'm gonna put a picture up of it in a mo. uhoh - brb...

Back! Had to go hang out the washing... -.-

ttul, b.

P.s - Rocki my dog, rolled in the left-over dye, so, now my originally all-white dog has purple side burns now! He's soo tute! ^-^!

The Best

You know how everyone always says that your teen/twenty years are the best of your life? Well, even though I'm not sure if I agree with that theory, I can see how people would say it.

I'm just lovin how at this point in my life everything just is. Nothing is really planned, or chosen, but things come up and out, stuff happens, a word is spoken - then Oooweee! We're all off on another adventure.

Not often is the adventure very big, but it's got this feeling to it - like the randomness, or maybe it's just a little bit of the way things are supposed to be, draws us all together, and wraps us up in a common glow of friendship and fun.

I can't explain it properly, but whatever it is - it does seems to be the best thing ever. I know why people believe that these adventures of youth are the best. It's just like that Nikelback song "Photograph" - the adventures have the same feeling as that song.

But then there's always another adventure waiting around the corner. It may not feel the same as the ones before, but it'll be different and good in it's own way. I reckon life can be an adventure all the way through - if you just let it be. It's all your own choice, so while I'm gonna enjoy all that is happening now - I'm not going to mourn when it changes. Life is too full to keep looking back.

Hmm. Quite the philosopher's muse eh? Funny how things like that just randomly break into my brain! lol. Ohweell, I have been enjoying my holidays much more than ever before. So I guess that's some kind of excuse... >.>'

And besides, all too soon my Blog will be filled with "aaahs" and "got an assignment - gotta go" and every other thing that comes with being a Uni student.

Even so, can't stop lovin' God and lovin' life, it's sooo good. Speaking of ssooo good - I'm dying to get back to gymnastics, I've been missing it something cronic (stupid ankles.. >.<), I'm proably sooo out of shape. O- almost forgot - gotta ring bout getting that beach house... whhee! Love the beach!

mm.. Neyways, proably should finish this extra-ordinary-rily long post, and put you all out of your misery! X D!

ttfn, tinka.

yawn - ^0^

Sleepiness... Luv the late nights - can't stand early mornings, and not being able to keep my eyes open. That suxz. Hardcore.

Went to the National Gallery yesterday arvo. - it was heaps cool. I loved checking out some of the insane stuff they had there. Most of it didn't cut it for me - but some of the stuff... Dude. It was so cool.
Had to hop around on my crutches though which wasn't cool...

Speaking of which, it looks like I might getting off them this weekend - yes!

Btw, how sad is it - only one more month of holidays and summer... WHAAA! =''( Must do lottsssss of beach trips - can't stand winter. Well, actually I can...

But has anyone else noticed how people hook up so much in the colder months? A guy I worked with before had this theory that it's more fun/comfortable to snuggle up with your bf/gf in winter - which is why all these couple start popping up everywhere! Mind you, I think it's much better just to curl up with a book, a mug of hot chocolate, and a nice fire. Mmm. Much better!

Must say though, I'm so hoping I'll be able to make it to the snow this winter at least once. I'm so hanging out for boarding. Mind you - I can't actually snowboard, but I can iceskate, and rollerblade and I have done a teeeny, wincy bit of skateborading, so I hope all the above will help get the hang of it. *fingers crossed* 'Coz I'm not sure that I have much of a chance. Lol. ohwell.

Mph - in the mean time it's still 30+ outside, so let's not get depressed about the cold too soon!

^-^, check y'all l8r - can't think of much else to write.

bye! B.
