Oh wow - and I do mean wow...
I have been at my new job for tow days now - and besides being absolutely exhusted from lack of sleep I haven't really had to do anything!!!
Yesterday I was introduced to everyone and I prepared for the Melbourne Cup - And won the $2.oo sweep with 'Delta Blues'!!! And I left my fog lights on in BoB so the poor thing just died, had to wait for the NRMA to show up and re-charge my battery. But for all the nothing I did, it sure was exhusting.
Up today at 6:30 am again - this early starts are killing me!
But the training morning I did was fun, and then I did nothing all arvo again.
Hey - it's all good with me! ^_^!
Going home now - bye!

*gnaw, gnaw*
*gnaw, gnaw* I'm alllowed to chew, kick, generally and other wise destroy, kill and maim my university stuff - I'M FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I had my last exam on M.A. at 9:00 o'clock sharp. Mind you, I hadn't managed to get any study done for this exam at all. Unlike my previous exam - C.&M.R. where I manged to do a solid five or so hours (*sweatdrop* -_-' ~ that really isn't much either eh?), I just didn't get any done. So ya know, I got up at 4:30am this morning and did about three hours solid until I had to leave for uni. Hey it worked - I was awake - *gasp-shock-horror* and I'm confident that I did well enough to pass and I think I'm sitting on about a Credit for both exams at the moment. So yeah, I'm a happy chicky.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Total undersatement of the year - I've just finished my second year of uni and my grades are actually improving! Being the fanatical perfectionist that I am when it comes to my own preformance, I am absolutely physed about it! ^__________^!!!!!!!!!!! O happy days!
And I know I own God a big thankyou for everything this semester. Things have had their ups and downs, but life is so good and I know that all I have and all I do belongs to Him for the glory of His Holy name. So thanks God!
Plus, tomorrow I start my holiday job and earn tons of cash - yippeeee!
Yours 'til the cow jumps over the moon,

Stuff and bother
ahhh.... So tired from my CMR exams - and it was only two hours! head. still. stuffed.
Gah. I've got another exam on the Monday - three hours long, and I haven't started studying for it yet. = P.
My sis and I are starting another project besides our current novel - we're starting up a weekly four-panel comic strip. But none of anything is going up until we have a decent backlog - or else we'll get behind!!!
Adios - my brain is dead.

Exams
Exams. I have two looming over my head - and I'm not too worried about them, as I've gottten my grades back for the rest of the assessment - essay/reports DI's, and HD's for tut. participation. So I need to get like - 4% on my exams to pass the unit, but coz I want a DI for my units - I need get a CR at least.
So I really should get on with some more study... At least a couple of hours more - which I will do, maybe just not right now.
Or later now...
Or later full stop?
Gah. Ahhhh...
Gotta do stuff.
Adios!

Lack of -
I've just noticed that over the last year there has been a surprising lack of mentioning boyz/hating them/usual annoyng stuff in my Blog content. Hmm - totally a good thing, ni? Ni!!!
Summer is on the way, holidays, beach - sun, sand and shipwrecks! My family and I are going to Morten Island(?) in about three or so weeks time - YAY!!!
Gah - so, stuff ya'll - I dunno, *sings*
Christmas Carols are on soon - my sister and I are in the choir - plus we're doing a sperate item together with this other chick, which will be fun. The choir gets to sing 'Joyful, Joyful' from Sister Act 2 - gotta love it!
I just love singin in choir I've decided. Its soo powerful - 'coz it doesn't matter if you're not Aretha Franklin, or Frank Sinartra (sp!) - or heaven forbid, Elvis! If you can hit the notes and are not tone deaf, you can sing in a choir. And the best thing is that when you all sing together, the most beautiful notes pull together into a powerful - almost angelic sound. Yep, singing together, in a choir is one of the best expirances ever. Epecially when you stand in a circle, and you can really hear the music.
It's waaayyy cool.
Neways, that's all from me for now - I gotta go catch a lecture.
Bye, T.

It's my birthday!!!
Yes, yes, yes, it is indeed the day of my birth.
Sometime twenty one years, and twenty five minutes ago, I was born in a hospital.
Yea, though it t'was no birth out of the ordinary, it did but bear not signs, no symbols, nothing extrodinary.
Nothing but a sliver of quick-gypsy blood that fortold - nay forwarned - the beginning...
The beginning? Of what? Well, you may ask.
And it's the funniest thing. Not much really! -_-'!
Twenty one years I have lived and loved - all to what gain?
Not much at all, 'cepting I have one thing - one thing that I possess - a treasure most dear....
One that came with extrodianary cost, a sacrifice of blood and tears....
An answer, sought after by all and sundry -
And I'm not gonna tell you what it is!
Because even if I did, you wouldn't believe me.
It's just one of those things.
But it's alright.
I do hope that your birthdays are a as happy as mine -
Many Happy Returns of the Day to all those that have a birthday today,
And those that don't.....
WELL!
*sings loudly*
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you,
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you,
A very merry unbirthday to ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sayanara all,
TinkaBell, The Birthday nominated Princess. :3!
P.s. - A :heart: to my family and friends who are such a blessing in my life - LOVE you LOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freak Out!!!
Today was one of those days....
You know the kind - where you are stressing out all day (me about this stupid assignment) and it's just so hard to get through 'coz you're really tired - but you have to or you're $cr3w3d?
Well yeah, I had one of those days.... I had to work today - I only had a little bit left to do on my assignment that was due today 'coz I've been working on it for a week and half now. But the problem was I had NO idea how long it would take me to finish off the last of it. And, like I said before I had to work. So just in case, I got up at 7:00am (oh- gag me!!! >XP) and did some work on it before I left for work. I was SOOOO tired, 'coz I've had late nights and pretty early starts all week - and they were finally catching up on me. Neither the less, I worked as hard as I could to get everything done so I could end my shift as soon as possible and get to uni, which was 45 minutes away!
I managed to get off at 2:00pm (I usually finished at 2:30pm-3:00pm), raced to uni, got my assignment finished half an hour before the dead line (great for me - it's usually only finished ten minutes to!) used that time to check it over, five minutes to go, tried to get it off, but the computer wasn't printing, then I didn't have enough credit - ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*shakes fist*
I was internally screaming, crying, and freaking out, mostly because 'All late assignments will not be accepted' O.O!!!
But after running around like CRAZY I got to talk to my tutor - thank goodness he was there! - and he said I could go fix it up, and not to stress.
Well, I said thankyou, and that I can't stop stressing - I've been stressing all freakin' day!
But it got handed in, and that's all that matters at the moment. I have one more assignment, two exams and it's the end of the semester! YAY! XD! I'm also going shopping with my bestie on Sunday at a depo, so that's gonna be awesome - especially as I have money to spend! Double YAY! XD! XD! I'm cheering, hopefully that's the end of stressfulness for the next two weeks, then stressful exams and it's all over! 'Course, I still have to survive my new job, 'coz I really wnat to impress them, especially as I didn't even have to put in my resume!
But I'm going to Fraser Island with my family soon, and I'll be able to de-stress then. Nice!
Adios for now,
T. :3
P.s. - Sorry about the long post again - life just keeps on rolling - right? Well, it has too. But in the mean time, I get to vent to all you readers out there (maximum of one right?) *giggles* Or to empty cyberspace. At least it don't care how long I go on for! XD!

Cruising
Well, I proably shouldn't be so "cruise-y" but I am. For starters, that biiggg assignment that I've been stressing about? Not so scary after all. It's only worth 30% instead of the 40% I thought it was, 1,500 words instead of 2,000 AND it's due on Friday not Thursday as also previously thought!
Boy, have I ever been so mis-informed? *thinks*
Nope!!!! Lol. I'm almost too relaxed about this now, ya know. But it tis all good. I have a brief thing to write up for another class, but it'll get done - easy peasy, lemon squeezy!!! XD!
So other big things -
Hmm.... I'M TWENTY ONE IN SEVEN DAYS!!!
Aside from that? I've got a new job!! It's over the Christmas holidays, directly after exams finish I start. As in really direct - as in my last exams on the 6th and I start on the 7th!!! But it's still really cool, 'coz I get an amazing amount of cash, flexi time, time off for my two weeks holiday to Fraser Island with my family, an insane amount of expirience - and I didn't even have to put in my resume!!!
Trust me - I've been positively CHEERING!!! ^U^!!!
Nothing much else on the rader - uni and work occupy the majority of my thoughts these days, and if it's not that, it'll be my art work. Beyond that I'm brain dead! I just don't have the capacity at the mo. - too much effort!
Oooh - I tell you what was fun, my friends and I went on a lovely moonlight picnic the other night. It was so nice - we had a candy cane fight! Yes, tis the season to be jolly - AGAIN! The candy canes and mince pies have already started to appropriate the shops. It's scary how quickly the dang things pop up again...
*sings* On the good ship, lollipop......

Wow-weee! O.o
Ooy. Today has just been absolutely crazy. And I do mean crazy!!!!
I had an interview with a politician at 9:30 am this morning - it went pretty well, but what a hurrauge trying to get to there! I was running late, and I had to stop and buy batteries for my recorder or I was SUNK, I needed to coax my sister into coming with me as far as the shops so that she could post something for me and then walk home, and after all that fluster, I still had to actually get to the interview!!!!
It was in the middle of the city, and of course, not being to familiar with the city center as I am, it was a challenge to find the right street, find a park (ooh - don't you HATE parking in the city???? *shakes fist* >XP) - and, once I'd managed that with ten minutes to spare, I had to trot up and down the street trying desperately to find the right building! I went through the same set of lights three times! There were some chicks outside one building having a smoke-o and I think they thought I was nuts.
Well, I finally got to the right office with 3 minutes to spare, chugged a glass of water, then proceeded to sit down with my 'polly' for half an hour.
The excitement does not end there, however - oh no my friend, it does not.
In the middle of my interview - *chringe* - my phone rang (this was the ONE thing my lecturer mentioned - TURN OFF YOUR PHONES..... Ooops! -.-'), but when I called back later, I found out that I had been offered this job that I rang about just last night!
I'll be a junior - running around doing office management with communications based work (or so I'm told). It'll be full time over the holidays - directly when my uni's finished (and I mean directly - as in the day after my last exam!) til uni starts again next year. So this is all well and good, but I can't take it until I find out whether my other job (waitressing) can spare me.
They think they can which is good. BUTTTTT - no, it is not yet the end of my saga, please do bear with me, I need to get this OUT of my head!
I've also (whilst at the interview with the pol.) been offered an opportunity to get an internship with the ACL for next year!!! I don't know whether or not I'll get it, but the pol. seemed really enthusiastic about me applying. This would be an even better opportunity than the holiday work, but it's all very valuable. Especially in this day and age when it's almost mandatory to have a degree of some sorts, and the only thing that's gonna make you stand out in a field of people all with the same degree is expirience!
I don't know how the internship will work out - I might need to drop back to two, or even one unit a semester, and of course, I won't earn much money. But the thing is, I've gotta start somewhere, and as I mentioned, the expirience would be priceless.
So, that's the saga of my day. Second thoughts, 'saga' is a bit of an understatement... More like award-winning drama!!!! Trying to sort it all out is a bit beyond me at the moment. Thankfully, I can leave it in God's hands, and just wait and see what happens.
In the mean time, my head needs to be pulled back from thoughts of tomorrow - way back to thoughts of today - I still have that nasty assignment due next week. And exams. And my twenty-first birthday. And holidays on Fraser Is. And.... *throws hands up* No wonder my head is stuffed!!!
Wow. My life has suddenly turned absolutely tospy-turvey. This is really gonna test my coping skills - I have a lot to sort out and get through. But I'm confident things'll work out. Sometimes I go absolutely nuts 'coz everything's the same routine for ages. You know - the whole "rut" complex.
But seriously, sometimes things changing, or excitment, or whatever - is too much!
My poor head.
Really.
Meh. It's all good. Viva la differance!
I know - completely out of context - but still - I rejoice! Things are moving - mind blurringly fast - but still moving! ^_^

Rolliinnnnggg aloooooooooong _ life's Hig-hwaaayyy
*sings* Rolling along, timing all gone, I'm rolling along- the biiiig, badddddddd, high-WAY of lifffffffffffffffffffffff-E!
-> Note: This is not actually a song, and the singer is not responsible for any consiquent ear-bleeding. -.-'
Annoucement - Annoucement!!!
I am here-by and forthwith over my em0-muffiness. After all, 'Stump is long gone (sort of), I wasn't there and that's life.
Speaking of life, and all that jazz, assignments are sorta stacking up - I have a 30% due next week - it's kind of evil as it is a Research Analysis Report - XP - gross.
But other then that montrosity, it's all good.
Now for the reallyyyyyy BIG Annoucement.
I'm 21 in 13 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs around screaming*
*bangs into wall*
Ow...
*picks herself up and starts again*
Twenty-one.
It's really creepy. Meh. I'll survive.
I don't have any big plans, but doing something random would be cool, so I might have a bit of a think. I've already blown bubbles off the top of a local hill/mountain, so I'm gonna have to come up with something as equally random/crazy/people-are-looking-at-me-funny. Which I'm sure I can accomplish! XD!
Signing off for now,
Soon-2-B-21,

Speaking of life, and all that jazz, assignments are sorta stacking up - I have a 30% due next week - it's kind of evil as it is a Research Analysis Report - XP - gross.
But other then that montrosity, it's all good.
Now for the reallyyyyyy BIG Annoucement.
I'm 21 in 13 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs around screaming*
*bangs into wall*
Ow...
*picks herself up and starts again*
Twenty-one.
It's really creepy. Meh. I'll survive.
I don't have any big plans, but doing something random would be cool, so I might have a bit of a think. I've already blown bubbles off the top of a local hill/mountain, so I'm gonna have to come up with something as equally random/crazy/people-are-looking-at-me-funny. Which I'm sure I can accomplish! XD!
Signing off for now,
Soon-2-B-21,
T. :3!

Em0-Muffinnn
I'm an Em0-Muffin.... Leave me alone - life is aweful.... T_T.....
No - really!
'Stump crept up on me way too quickly. I didn't get a chance to ask for work off, so now I'm stuck at home working whilst my sisters and friends all go and have an awesome weekend.
So yeah.
Now I'm an em0-muffin...

Procrastination... PRO-crastination... Prooooooooooooooooooooocrastination!!!!
^_^ ~:heart:
Words can be so much fun! Especially when you ignore the semantics. Such as the fact that the very word 'procrastination' is in my vocabularly generally means that I'm ignoring something that I should be doing... X P
But in reality it tis all good. I have to study the news - 'coz I feel in my bones that we are going to have a quiz tomorrow in my tut. and my bones haven't lied about that yet. Hmmm.... It must come from my great gandmother's side. She was a Gaelic Gypsy, and I think I've inherited her blood. It certainly explains more than a few things, that's for sure!
But other then that Uni's all fine and dandy for now. I have an assignment due on Thursday, but it will get done.
One thing that's really sent me trippin' though it the fact that Black Stump is this next weekend!!!! O.o' ~ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAHHHHHHHHH!
'Tis a year since last 'Stump. And I can't tell you how much that has freaked me out. I dunno why - I mean it's kind of a "Duh" factor that it's been a year since last 'Stump as it happens every year! But it just seems like yesterday. And the fact that it's week 11 and there's only four more weeks until the end of the semester, not including the exam period. Weird huh?
Things just seem to move sooo quickly. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to 'Stump - it's gonna be a totally different expirence from last year, which'll be awesome.
But I think that be all from me as of now,
TTFN, T. ^_^!

Fishin'
Heya to all you salt water, sea water, fresh water, fish water lovin' peoples! :D
Inn't just lovely to sit on the dock - to feel the fresh tangy breeze waft by your face - ruffling your carefully styled hair? No - don't screw up your nose! I know that the briny bite of boots, bait and bass isn't particularlly nice, but the people you met enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of Bassken Lake are! ^_^!
Yep - I made new friends online, and that's always nice! <3
Random topic, ne? But I must confess I'm on a ships, sailing, and salt water kick - I've always loved cars and ships. Not boats mind you - ships - those wonderful, flying ... *goes speechless*
I have a love affair with anything fast - *ffweee* it's pure delight!
*hums*
Dan -dunnna- and really bad eggs...
Drink up me hearties - yo ho!!!
:3, T.
P.s. - did you know I've done 121 - this being the one hunderdth and twenty second post - on this weblog? Who'dve thunk it would have lasted this long????

Here we are again
Here we are again, at the point of making, at the point of breaking - we've come so far, with no room left behind - just letting you know, it's weighing on my mind...
Did you know that POC (sorry - quick abberivation my sisters and I have given to "The Pirates of the Carrabian") Dead Man's Chest has one of the worst endings (as in suspention) in a movie I've seen in some time? Even LoTR (Lord of The Rings) wasn't as bad! = X It's enough to drive you balmy!
Can't wait... *rocks back and forwards* Just can't wait...
Of course, I have too, but it's darn well difficult.
TTFN, T. :3
P.s. - Don't ask me what the first two lines mean - 'coz I don't know. They just randomly fell out of my fingers. Yes, this does mean my brain had no say in what was being typed/written.
*thinks*
This seems to happen a lot to me...
*shrugs* ............ owell.

bangs head
I was talking to a friend of mine at uni today, and she was telling me how she feels sick when she gets stressed out about assignments - just like I do. Thankfully, I don't get the whole headache/not being able to sleep thing, but doesn't it feel so gross when you've got stuff due?
Heaven help me if I ever get to be a professional journalist - I think I'd end up with stomach ulsers... -.-'.... They have deadlines every freakin' week. Gag me!
The weekend was good - I was TIRED, but everything went ok.. I just have to get through the week until Friday, after I hand in this stupid assignment and I'll be right. Mind you, in the mid-semster break I have three major assessment pieces to work on - a 40%, a 30%, and a 20%. XP!
The one thing I do have to do is finish a play I'm writing - it's called "Ruth" and it's based on the ancient story of a woman named Ruth from the Old Testament. I've got all the ideas down - and I've written the first scene of ACT I, some I'm one/sixth of the way there.
Eh, besides that, there's not much else to report. All's well, and life goes on.
In the mean time, have a good one peoples!

Uni Work
Note * I have this stuff in my blog simply to be able to save the research I was conducting for my Research Report ( 30% - X P''' Yuck... )..... And yeah.
"Signaling in the new millenium"
Privatisation and other issues
Annual General Meeting and Technical Meeting
Melbourne 17, 18 and 19 March 2000
The Institution of Railway Signal Engineers
* On the 29th of August, 1999 the Victorian Public transport system was privatised.
- Bayside Trains, Swanston Trams and V/Line Pass were franchised to National Express.
- Hillside Trains were franchised to Melbourne Transport Limited.
- Yarra Trams were franchised to Metro Link.
*****
Privatisation Picture
*****
Isn't it all fun?? Ahhhh! *runs away screaming* It's so difficult to come up with the right stuff- in the National Library - 1. You can't loan anything out
2. Everything come up from the 'stacks' - the underground
holding systems. And that can take up to 45 minutes!
So of course - it takes FOREVER to get anything remotely relevant to your research/assignment topic. What's worse, this report is entirely National Library based. X P! Gag me! *sigh* This is my second day here, and I still haven't found what I need. Once I've gotten all I can from the book resources - like the dates of the privatisation of the various sectors of Australia's Railroad systems (feee! Trains! >_ so cool!) I'll be heading down the the newspaper reading rooms - only to get nausious, mind you, from those blasted micofilm readers. ..... ............ ......O.o'...... .......... .... *feels dizzy* I hated them last time. Still do mind you.
But asides from that things are ok. I have a long list of stuff to do tomorrow -
* 1. Write a 5 min presentation of Media Audiences
* 2. Wash BoB
* 3. Go to the National Library - AGAIN!!! @.@'
* 4. Go to work
*sigh* Easy as. Not a problem... Sure thing!
Gah... And I really have to do more work on my C. and M.R. unit.
* 5. Read C. and M.R. stuff - esp. that Lecture commentary. And the other two too.
Lots of work. I think I'll have to get up early - like at 9:00 am! *gasp- shock-- horror!*
O - and no. five
* 5. Get to Koorong! (and convince Mum to drive me... *looks sneaky* -_- ....)
There! That really is everything I have to do tomorrow!
*falls off her chair*
*muffled grunts come from below the National Library computer*
ffflodbiieee...
*lifts head* >.>'
I mean Goodbye!

Change of Plans!
Ya'll know how I was all gun-ho for the 'Patches' thing right? Weeeelll, I've changed my mind. Again.
This time I'm a-going with b . dot . designs for the name to cover all my art work. And the handle - meh. It'll stay the same. I really can't think of anything else - and besides everywhere on the internet, I'm signed in as some variation of TinkaBell. So I guess I'm stuck being Tinka for the mean while!!
Ooo - guess wot? I found out a new tool that I absolutely have to try out - I'm onto the airbrushing now!! And ; I'm doing some prints to put on shirts for my sisters - I might put the piccies of the shirts up on my blog - and of course, on DeviantART and anyone who wants one can put in an order!!!
Uni's ok, life's ok, and so the world spins around.
Saynara,
Tinka. ^-^!

Maybe
I think I might have found a new handle - I'm not sure whether or not it works. It's supposed to be the watermark for ALL of my artwork, and internet persuadems (sp?) - I'm just not sure if it's right.
'Neways - *takes a deep breath* It's Patches.
Comments, critisims, or complaints anyone? Whadda ya'll think? Does anyone have anything better? I am still totally undecided about it, but I can't think of anything else, so...
Gah. Havta get on with a crazy tutorial prep. sheet I gotta go through. Man, it's gonna take EEEE- ffort (gag me!), and I've only got a little while to do it in. >= P'''
Adios,

Spending.
I have recently learnt that I HATE my Communication and Media Research unit - it's sssooo boring and completely incomprihensable.
I've also learnt that fonts with tags like this one are 'Seriff' fonts and ones without like Ariel are 'San-Seriff'.
Oyeah - forgot really important info. I gotsy mi ver' own tomputer!!! *squee* ; )!!! It's a P4, w/ 512 mb of RAM and 1.8 GB hard drive. Not the best out there, but for the price I gots it for, well worth it. *does a dance* Yay!!!!
I've started back at gymnastics, and that's been really fun - yeah, it's really fun to fall on your head/a$$, but 'tis all good. O.O
Uni's ok - 'cept for sucky units - however, I will survive.
Hmmm. wot else to write about....
*rambles on under her breath* ....................... >.>'................ *bangs head* Nope. Can't think of a single thing....
O - Green tea is really good for you! It increases your metabolism, and boots your immune system fifteen-fold. As I have been getting sick (sowwy Bethen-squiee for contagiousing you...), I have been drinking so much I'm suprised I don't turn into a soggy tea leaf! *shudders* ewwww....
Keh. Anyways, gotta go - got things to do and peeps to see -

Manic Monday
*sings to the tune of "Manic Monday"* It's just another day at Uni, whoa-whooh, wish it was o-ver, whoa-whooh, 'coz it's so annoying, whoa-whooh, and I don't like it....
Lol. Getting up was ssooo hard this morning, and I've got lots of work to do this week... Gag me!
But my weekend was ok - work, friends, and Wooo!!! Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children! Just had my first ever expirience of Final Fantasty, and I have decided me likes. Sorry to be the uber nerd and all, but I really do like anime and animated movies, comics and other graphic art related stuff quite a good deal more than most other 'real' sort of stuff. Heh-heh, -.-', I was thinking last night that there is so many sides of me that don't really seem to fit - I'm really neither one 'gerne' of person as a whole.
Like, I'm a computer nerd (ie, I like graphic art, some computer games, anime, animated movies, and the Internet is my playground *goes surfing* )
But that's not the total of my personality. I'm also the cheerleader (O- gag me, but sadly I do have some tendancies... ie, I'm bubbly, bouncy, I LOVEEEE shopping, chick flicks, I do gymnastics and horseriding, which are such girly sports, and I really like wearing shirts, highheels, make-up and pink *Squeee!* nailpolish.)
I'm a punk (ie, I like rock/hardcore music, black and purple are my favourite colors, I'm quite the loner at times, and I'm constantly writing/drawing emo stuff... )
SSOOOO, anyways, the conudrum of my "Patched Personality" is keeping me occupied at the mo., I highly doubt anyone else finds it interesting, so I'll change the subject right about now-
Final Fantasty - yep, I know... *stars in her eyes* Vincent is my favourite! The untoucable man and mystery... *glomps Vincy, and steals him away* He's mine I tell you - MINE!!! *laughs manically* Mwahahaaahaaahahhhaaaahaaaaa!!!! ^-^!
But that's me - how are you???
;) , Hope life's good, and I'll sign in later,

Puzzles & epistomology
Hellooooo one and all!!!
Firstly - check out my art if ya wanna read the second chapter of The Illusionist - Critiques and comments are MOST welcome! (Please bear in mind this story is for Young Adults - 13 to 18-ish(?), but anyone who enjoys a good story should check it out anyway - just in case they like it! ~_^)
Second - Uni's gonna be HARD this semester... *pouts* Stupid uni... I forsee a lot of work and stress. Great. Just what I need. owell, it's life I guess.
Hmm... what else?
Nothing much, actually. A random musing - epistomology : The study of belief and tying it into knowledge. (I think!)
It's a usuful thing - after all, when does belief become knowledge - ie, facts, a measurable concept... Or does it all stay as a Construct - an idea/theory/hypothesis in your head??
*ponders above question*
That's actually really hard, if not impossable to answer.
Do you need tangible proof, available to more than one person, for something to become a fact, ie - knowledge? Or is it less definable than that???
*so she puzzled and puzzled, 'til her puzzler was sore...* (rough quote from The Grinch)

Meh
Nothing much to say - Uni's back again, and that's all good.
Worked this weekend. Um - that's about it! Hung out w/ the Hobbits for a bit. Too bad though, our group's getting to big to be classified as 'The Hobbits' any more...
Stuff is stuff, and life goes on.
Check u l8r,

Uni starts back tomorrow!

Meh. I'm over it. I've decided to post the first chapter of a novel *Edit - I've changed it to a teaser - apparently publishers get kinda finiky about putting up your stories on the interent before publishing. And as we definately want to publish the Illusionist, it's better to be safe rather than sorry!* I'm co-authering with my sister. The novel is called "The Illusionist" for now, and we're hoping to publish when we finish it. But for now, here's chapter one. WARNING! It's pretty big!
THE ILLUSIONIST
Chapter One
Break-ins, blood, and bounty hunters
The year is far into the future. Earth has long been destroyed by a ravaged ecosystem - now humanity has found footholds all over the universe, but the majority call Mars home.
Planet : OceaN°arria
Class : Water planet
Galaxy : Rëka, sector Tn
Life forms : Mostly Humans and Illasas
Cľis'q ignored the jangled sounds of the city as he concentrated on the security panel, smiling as he pulled the glass away from the glowing keypad. "You sure you got rid of the main floor alarm?" His partner, Wilk, scowled. "It may be a museum, but I've got worse security in my house. Trust me, it's gone - for this sector anyway."
Cľis'q slipped a micro scrambler onto the pad. The nanobots entered the system, transmitting control to Cľis'q's wrist band. With the touch of a finger, Cľis'q commanded the thick glass in front of the robbers to slide back. Nodding to Wilk, he gave the signal for him to active their heat sensing contact lenses, and scanned the room for any signs of life. Satisfied they where alone, Cľis'q's grin grew as he caught sight of dozens of priceless artifacts, gleaming in their glass cages - just whispering a silent challenge to the thieves. "Com'mon. Let's get to work."
If the pair had once looked up, the sight of a dark figure, its white blonde hair rippling in the soft night breeze – watching them, studying their moves through a skylight would have been more then enough to alarm them. As it were, neither took their eyes off their prizes, and the figure stole away, unnoticed, to another skylight on a different section of the roof. Amateurs. They're in the planet's largest museum and they waste their time on those? A smirk curled over her lips as Tori slipped through the hole she had neatly made in the skylight.
Landing gently on a solid oak rafter that ran through the infrastructure, she ran directly under the glass frame, silhouetted briefly against a clear, starless, purple night sky. Crouching panther-like, she slid down the length of the beam, flickering in and out of the deep shadows. Pausing at the end, she leapt down onto the floor, running through the lasers with her knees lifted high.
To any observer it would look like she was sprinting through a yard of tyres - but she knew one mis-step, and the alarm system would go off. Glancing at the floor in the next room, she eyed her target. The lasers were invisible to the naked eye, but to Tori they were dark green beams, flickering across the marbled floor. The doorway she needed to get through was three feet deep, and criss-crossed with more trip lasers. Guess they're trying to keep someone out. There's the hard way... Tori briefly considered the amount of flips and handsprings - not to mention layouts that it would take to get through the maze. Or not. Not enough time.
One bounce, and Tori coiled up like a spring and leapt headfirst through the tangle of invisible lights. Catapulting forward, she landed, rolled up into a handstand and stopped just before the next trap. Gracefully splitting onto her feet, she glanced back through the doorway, a self-satisfied smile curling at the corner of her mouth. That, gentleman, is a real entry.
The two burglars continued on with their petty workings, completely unaware that next door another thief was on her way to get the most prized item in the museum - a mask from the century 3098 B.M. (Before Mars) made completely out of diamonds, titled 'Masque de glace', or 'Mask of Ice.' Tori's hawk eyed gaze slid over the room, noting every tiny detail. There were seven glass cases in the room, the largest one that held the mask was standing directly in the center. The other six cases stood around it, each randomly placed.
As luck would have it, one was just a few feet away from the visitors chairs on the left wall. She lifted her green eyed stare to the ceiling. The long rafters started out from six separate points in the room, then gracefully arced to meet each other in the middle. Although they could not take her to her prize - they, combined with the glass cases, would get her where she wanted to be. There was always a way. Arms raised high, Tori stretched onto her tip-toes, then whipped through the air - a tiny ball of speed, unfurling to land on the targeted chair with ease.
Pausing for the barest of seconds, she reached forward, and delicately placed her hands on a glass case, as she perched dangerously above a laser. Effortlessly she kicked up into a handstand, balancing on the glass case that protected a monumental diamond. Her black clothed legs stretched upwards, then grasped hold of the wooden beam that ran above her, locking as she held all of her weight, she lifted up her hands. Reaching backwards, she clung onto beam, unhooked her legs, and swung forward so she dangled from the beam above a laser-ridden floor.
Swinging smoothly, hand by hand, she moved up the beam until she was over the next case. Dropping down, she landed on the glass silently. One second later, and she had flipped over onto her primary target. Just a few more seconds. If those bumbling idiots can control themselves - and not do anything stupid for that long... Just as the thought flashed through her mind, a low wail of an alarm pierced the silence, rising in volume as bright spotlights around the room began to flash red.
Gritting her teeth in anger, Tori leapt off the case and onto the ground, her left fist coming around to slam into the glass, shattering it completely. Ignoring the blood dripping onto the pink crystal floor from the cuts in her hand, she yanked out the mask, and slipped it into a concealed pocket in her black, sleeveless leather vest.
Over the blaring sound of the alarm, she picked up the wailing sirens of the police. Time to leave. She ran out of the room, almost colliding with two figures that where frozen outside the door, blinded with panic. The two thieves stared at her in shock as she threw them out of her way and continued her run, heading towards a large glass cabinet, just underneath a window.
Vaulting onto the cabinet, she catapulted through the window of the building, landing lightly on the glass coated stones. The instant she landed, she was off again, heading towards the shadows of a large tree. Six law enforcers, drawn to the sound of the breaking window like moths to a light, ran around the corner just in time to see a figure dressed in black come speeding towards them on a black and red V-rider.
Similar to the old fashioned motorcycles, the V-rider was a relatively new machine that took skill to master. Tori knew it could hit speeds of four hundred kilometers per hour, and over - that's what she was counting on. That and the fact that her new bike was more than one hundred kilometers faster then any hover unit, and that it relied on a new technology that used velocity force - making it not only a very expensive piece of equipment, but a very dangerous one as well. Everything she could want in a machine.
Speeding up, Tori accelerated into a corner, turning so sharply that an inch to the wrong side would have sent her flying. Although she could hear the sounds of a pursuit behind, she knew it wouldn't be a problem. It never was.

BoB got to Jindabyne and back again safely, which is totally cool.
I found out I can sculpt as well! I'll be putting up some pictures on Deviant ART under the account of Tinka-Bell.
Can't think of anything else to report -
Adios.

I'm a temporary snowman!
I'm a temporary snowman as I most willingly exist in Jindabyne for the past week - until tomorrow. Just call me Jacki Frost! ^_^!
I have suddenly had a huge flash of remorse for not updating this blog in like the last five billion years! I don't have any reasons - no excuses whatsoever, but I have been pretty busy. Boy, was last semester ever so stressful! But I got through - which is great, so it's onto new things now. I passed all my subjects, so that's good.
I and all my sisters also got baptised together last Sunday. As baptisim is a declartion of our belief in Christ to save us, it was awesome to stand up together and say - yes! We believe!
BoB's been going well to - so life is pretty nice right now.
So I'll check ya all later!

Boo_yeh!
w00t! I've only a three minute presentation and two exams to go and this semester's over!!!!!!! yay!
I did my last major peice of assessment yesterday. It actually worked out ok after all my stressing. I set my alarm for Monday morning - I got up at 5:30 am, got to the uni computer lab at 6:45am, sat my butt down and didn't move for the next nine hours until 3:00pm that afternoon. Hey, drastic mesures - I know, but I wrote the 2,000 word report I needed and it's over! ^-^!
So I am happily looking forward to a week at the snow in the holidays, and the end of the most stressful semester I have ever had. I predicted at the beginning that it would take a lot of work - I just didn't realize that it also include a TON of stress. *shruggs* But it's over now, thank goodness.
My family and I are heading up to Sydney this weekend for my cousin's 21st birthday party - it'll be awesome. Plus, we'll be going to the markets as well - Shopping - here I come!
BoB isn't on the road yet - I still have to pick up a headlight for him so I can get him registered, then I will FINALLY be able to drive him! And then I'll be able to go back to gymnastics, and all sort of awesome stuff that will come with having more money from less petrol consumption. Swweeettt.
'neways, check ya'll l8r,

It's incredible - I can't believe how long it's been since I've been on my blog!
Anyway, updates in the crazy (yeah - 'coz I'm just that psyco...) life of me!
Um. The new stuff - stress!!!!!!! The old stuff? STRESSS!!!!!!! I've been sooo stressed out with Uni lately - it's really run me to the ground. I haven't been doing much except - you guessed it - stressing!
... ... well, not really. I've been doing lots of work and assignments. And I have an in class exam today (T_T Yikes!), one more report (2,000 words) a small 3 minute peresentation - three weeks "off" and two exams to finish the first semester of 2006! Hopefully, the second semester will be better. It can only get better... Right? >.>
BoB is almost back in action - I'm getting him inspected this weekend to fix up my rego, and then I'll be back on the road again! ^-^! I'm planning to go to Jindibyne this Uni hols for a week - yay! Snow! - which will be good. And I think that's all that's up.. O - have a party this Sat. - I'll be wearing my new L.B.D. (for those who are unfamiliar with the term it's - Little Black Dress) and the party is gonna rock! = D!
Me bestie's down for a few days, so that awesome too.
And funny how it takes a while, but even in the bad times, I can really see the Lord giving me a hand. Too bad I'm too stupid to take it sometimes! lol. It's when you're all alone that you find out that maybe He is not so far away after all - if only you'd stop to see that.
But anyway, gotta go - gotta do my exam (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)
Chow! B.

Mid-semster break. Sounds like a holiday, huh??
Ste-rike ONE!
Have I been relaxing???
Ste-rike TWO!!!!
Has it been a time to rest and catch up on lost sleep?????
Ste-rike THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one thing about Mid-semester break is that it isn't a break at all (as all you Uni students out there would know, and cry out with me about!! ), but a cruel ruse to get our hopes up for sleep-ins and late nights, (yes, more sleep-in than 9:00 am, and more late nights than 12:00 pm, but still...) and parties. Then we check our unit outlines and realize that a TON of really important assignments are due the first week back from this so-call "break", (known as the dreaded WEEK TEN) or the week directly after. So as you can guess, I'm at work, or at home doing tons of uni stuff... Not exactly my idea of a break. Though I don't have to drive for 3/4s of an hour to get to uni, so maybe...
No! It is other ploy by "the man" to keep us "disaffected youth" in the gutter. I won't stand for it! Stupid elitetist ideology! (lol. As you can proably tell, Uni is rubbing off on me!)
Meh. -.-. I am sudden really over it... *shrugs* Owell. Is life good out there in the real world? I hope it is, for while my insane little bolt-hole of a universe is getting dropped on it's head once in a while, I usually manage to keep it floating right side up. Usually.
Gonna take a road trip next week to Bateman's to pick up BoB - I'll be so glad to get him back. Petrol consumption will go down, and with it, the money I spend on it! (thankgoodness)
'Neways, Saynara (I know that is spelt wrong... Meh. You know what I mean...),

Okay-day..
Okay-day - everything's fine I say... No, really! It is!
Uni's going alright. Got an assignment back (first of the semester) with a higher mark than I expected -yay! = D-and have done an in class test I was rather dreading. I do have two nasty assignments due in the same week, but that's in a month's time, and as long as I do as I should they will be fine too! So yeah!
BoB is fixed now - at much more than I expected, but apparently he's worth it so... I'll be going to the coast some time to pick him up then I guess - well, know.
Life is rolling along as it usually does - too quickly sometimes, and others far too slowly (like when you're waiting for something!)...
Muphm. Can't think of anything else to say really... So yeah.
Have a good one peoples -
Bonita

Well.
Well. I'm sure I've said it before, and I KNOW I'll say it again - but - doesn't time fly?!?!!!??!!!!?!!!!???!!!! I can hardly believe that it's the sixth week of the sememster already - next thing you know it's gonna be exams again... X P! It really is incrediable.
But anyway... And this breaking news on how life's going... (You can tell I'm really getting into all this Journo stuff, eh?!)
Capt. BoB J. Biggles is headed to the mechanic
Yes - really truely! ... And to recap the story we broke to you last month about the untimely demise of Capt. BoB J. Biggles, a Ford KA Laser busted in the line of duty. New information from the parents of the bereaved suggests that the damaged car may not be headed for the wreakers. The bereaved, a Miss B. J. F. stated "I am absolutely over the moon about this - I'm so glad, and I'm very thankful to the Lord for working this out. He is amazingly good to me." The new proceedure will see BoB's hood up, and the possiblity of a replaced head gasket, and the pistons emptied of water, or a replaced engine. Either way, it is quite possible that the Captain will be back on his wheels very soon.
and, as the "Human Interest Piece"
New relations forged in two areas
Meh. I'm over it... But anyway, it's been really cool 'coz I've been making friends with some chicks at Uni, and a girl at work. Good times! ^-^!
That's all from me for now,
Have a good one!

coolness
Life's pretty sweet right now - Uni is not being too much of a pain, and even though I'm really tired, and just getting over a cold, it's all good. There have been heaps of nice things going on.
My boss at work just sent me a e-mail to tell me that I've been working really well, I've meet some new people at Uni, and there's this one chick who's really awesome - she's so friendly and nice. And so much other good stuff!
My art is going ok - I've put up a new peice at deviantART and I will put it in my PhotoBucket album soon too. I'm trying out new stuff, but I am getting really frustrated that the style is taken so long for me to get a grip on. It's slowly changing - but not enough... Hm. Gotta keep at it I suppose.
On a side ramble - I've been hearing this stuff at Uni 'bout Deep File Something or so, but the thing is they want to use this new Deep technoogy to make money off the Internet. I'm having issues with this 'coz in order to make money they're going to be restricting sites and stuff by regulating what gets through quickly and what doesn't. The idea is that the servers scan the 'packets' of information that goes out/on the web and if the packet is sent by a site that pays lots of money to the server, that packet will go through really quickly. But all the site that don't pay out to the telco companies, or whomever, their packets will take forever to upload/download. So basically, you're not going to be able to veiw sites that don't pay without a lot of hassles. Which means more advertising or whatever, and less choice about the information you get.
For some people, I guess it's not so much of an issue. What annoys me though is that it's just companies wanting more money, and they're going to get it at the expense of everyone else who uses the net. Pfffft!!!!!!!
But enough ranting from me -
Have a good one,
Boni. ^-^

cONtraSts OF BLaCk & whITe
If you are wondering what the heck my title is all about, dear reader, don't worry I am well on the path to enlighting your sacred minds.
In my last entry I was occupied with the annoying-ness of everything going evil - (I blame Uni... X_X) but, in a black & white contrast I wish to tell of the wonderful weekend I had with my family, relatives, and best friend celebrating my dear sister's 18th - whom I previously listed in before mentioned post.
We went to Lunar Park!!!
And really, it was lots and lots and lots of fun!!!
I had, and so did my sister, a really great night.
My absolute favourite ride of the night was the enormous slippery-slide in 'The Fun House', as I believe it is titled, and - ooowhee! I went on said ride, like, fifty million times! Okay, so maybe it was five, but it was a good five! The slide in question is about a couple of meters high, and drops straight down for about half a meter, than slowly levels out. And the lower you bend over your knees - the faster you go! It was great!
My second favourites (equally) were 'Mouse Trap', the rollercoaster, and the dodgem cars (to be rather predictable). Both were heaps of fun, though I swear I got whiplash from the rollercoaster! Good times, with good friends. It was great to be together with my whole family too.
What with Uni, work, social commitments, and everything else, I hardly ever get to spend time with my whole family at once any more. I was joking with my Mum, (though I'm half serious!) that we're going to have to make coffee dates to catch up - 'coz we just don't see each other!
Mind you, I'm not complaining, I love being busy. I just wish I had more time for everything! But than again, doesn't everybody?
Well, that's all from me -
For now anyway!

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.

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!
