Sometimes I just smile when I walk
Today was good for a few reasons:
I was serving this lady in the morning and after I told her the total of her order she says
Sure thing sweetheart - and do i detect a Canadian accent?
You sure do
Oh I just love your country its so beautiful, I love to go holiday-ing there!
Oh thank you! Its really a beautiful country, im very proud, I love it very much
You know how I knew you were Canadian? Apart from your accent?
How?
You're just so polite. Canadian people in general are so polite.
oh jeeez! well thank you very much!!
your welcome sweetheart enjoy Australia!
Shortly thereafter I was talking to my manager (*Who is the boss's girlfriend. . . one of those people that you try to impress or at least I do anyways) and she said to me
When are you finished here?
ummmm 5?
no like finished finished
oh well im not sure yet but i've said the 27th because thats when John is coming and im not doing anything while he's here
oh yeah yeah but after that
. . . im not suuuuuure yet. . . my plans are up in the air-ish. . . If I were to say leave for a month and then come back and show up with empty pockets looking for a job . . . could I come back here? how do you guys feel about that kind of stuff?
Yeah of course, we're always Happy to have good staff back who know what they're doing
. . . *blink Blink* *__*
Mini ...(*thats her nickname) miiiiiiinnnnnnnniiiiiiii . . . .does this mean. ... YOUR SAYING THAT I KNOW WHAT IM DOING?! (*cue big giant smile and stars in my eyes)
maybe
YEAAAAAHHH!!!! I KNOW WHAT IM DOING, IM DOING THINGS RIGHT, YOU LIKE ME!!!!
YOU TOTALLY LIKE ME WOOOOHOOOOOOo!!!
*staring at the coffee machine* okay fine maybe a little
*victorious arms in air*
Its getting to be nicer at work. after being there almost two months, im pretty much a "senior" staff member which is kind of funny but its cool, i've training a few people and can make thing everything on the menu without looking which means that i'm on smoothies most of the time which has its own sort of lame hierarchy (sp?) in the way that if who ever is doing the smoothies asks for something, someone else pretty much right away gets it for you like if the ice needs filling or the ice cream needs to be switched or you need someone to fill up the puree bottles. . . its kind of nice. Still brutal pay but I put in my 9 hrs a day almost and I come home tired but i like my days off and im hoping tomorrow to go to the zoo and see the baby elephant <3 class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">Divine. I love mangoes.
Gloomy wet sunday doesn't mean its a bad day.
p.s - the rock formation in the ocean just off the coast that I can see when I walk ever day is called "the wedding cake" island. oh flipping cute is that

Granny aint happy.
Look stupid neighbours upstairs -> It is almost two oclock in the Effing morning. Since my room mate and I are sleeping in different rooms due to snore city, I find myself happily camped out in the family room.
Now i've had my parties and pisssed off my fair share of neighbours so i'm not gonna be "that guy" who calls the cops or bark up into the dark night some hateful and resentful demands but dude. I dont care "how 80's " this song is or how "so shoulder pads" it might be.
Look Bowie Rocked the 80's get over it.
and I love me some Bowie - one of my favorite pre-show backstage warm up and dance songs is without a question " young Americans" but seriously. seriously.
SHUT UP!!
angry.
RAWRRRRR!
rage.
I promised myself I would never be "that neighbour"
-anger at realising that last statement IS me at the moment
I've long since had my cup of tea, my glass of milk and my too many cookies okay? Nanna over here is gonna feel like death in the morning and look it too ( maybe once warmed over)
im gonna have to haul my little muffins outta bed. . . or off of mattress on floor. . . and work 9 hours okay? so while your prayin to the porcelain god tomorrow morning -no wait - today. Just know that you should thank your lucky stars bub and bib (* i figure thats what ill call the girl voice) that one certain little lady down here is working because i would LOVE to get up extra early and BLAST with all power given to me the LONGEST list of show tunes I can find.
Little Shop of Horrors? yeah I got that
Les Mes? Bring it.
Rent - dont even tempt me.
FEEL MY MUSICAL WRATH! FEeEEEEeeeeLLLLlllll it you inconsiderate poops!
*silence on the western front*
*blink. Blink.*
more silence.
oh sweet mama could it be??
SILENCE STILL! OOOOUIIII!!!
im gonna hop back on to matress and hit the hay while I can!
GRANDMAS EVERYWHERE REJOICE! I have beaten the young whipper-snappers at their own game!!!!
Kitty 1 weiners 0
oh no.
dear god please.
no.
Oasis.
*eye twitch*
wonderwall.
*cringe*
one of many drunken people anthems.
*shudder*
my criptonite.
0_o
and off tune.
end it.
right now.
Im not even drinking and i wanna vomit.
I am ever resiliant. they couldn't make it through. perfect.
your lucky neighbours. I didnt call the police. . . i also couldnt find their number.
consider this a warning. a totally unknown to you, none verbal lashing of epic porportions.
I bid you adieu
good day and good morning . . . jerks ( not you, i like you very much. thats to the upstairs hooligans)
p.s - i've been called alot worse from neighbours. but they were very mean. Im not like that, ill just not be verry happy with you and never know your face and wont ever do anythinga bout it so really calling you a jerk on my bloggity blog is getting off easy. your welcome.
*sigh* I didn't mean it. I know my mother would say to a grumbling slouched over me right now " common kasoleen you're better than that"
soooo your not jerks. but I dont like you very much right now. there.

Thats why they call it a good friday
Today was wonderful. One of those days where things just gooo your way.
tanfastic. no. not quite tan. . . more like desert rose. . . or blushing school girl. . . or a salmon mousse cake. . . you get the point. Im pink, okay pinky red.
and my back is a little toy-te
BUT today was a fantastic surf day!! the waves were decently small and I STOOD UP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
WOHOOOO!!!! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP! ah I was so stoked, I rode the whole way in with my arms in the air somewhere between victoriously air pumping, raising the roof and trying to keep balance. Needless to say I looked like a total pro. :D ah ha ha ha ha!!!
after that we came home, did a little grocery run and now im sitting in good company with burgers a cookin, old cheddar a meltin, guac in the bowl and chips in the buns.
(** Please PLEASE put chips in all your foods. food with extra texture is heaven. pure bliss. I promise you try adding crunch to your food. like this- Burger= french fries or chips. Fajita = tortilla chips and so on and so on. it will change your life. and before you get all huffy puffy about how bad that is for you. . . well your porbably going to eat a few chips or fries in process of food making so lets just cut ou the middle man and roll it into one! one love. )
*Food Break*
as we walked home from groceries today, my back felt a little tender. .. .you see im not a very accurate sunscreen applicator. . . the places on my back and body that have gotten a mild splatter are covered in well exactly that. but a sun burn. I have marks of where individual fingers were its kind of funny. anyways, as my back was feeling a little sore, we found a shopping cart! just abandoned in the road!! so we loaded the bags back on and away we went home!
Now im ready for bed, quick glass of milk and of fine twist my arm a cookie or two.

I only wish you the best

Four score and One month ago . . .
Weeeellllllllll yesterday was the one month mark of being in Australia.
Twas spent surfing at Bondi Beach which was by far the hardest day I've had out. not that I've had many but oh man this one was tough, the waves weren't breaking cleanly and they were Sa-mokin' me in every direction. Molly and I were smacked around and I've got a nasty bruise on the underneath of my right arm, little cuts here and there and my right hip looks like a banana past its prime. Barely made it out past the break, only a few times but that was better than not at all. I did manage to ride on my knees again a few times and that was pretty boss. :)
The weather here has been pretty crumby with grey skies and rain all.the.time.
In fact, today as I finished work, I popped into an internet cafe for a little skype date . . . a fantastic 2 hr skype date. . . and just as I was getting ready to leave, a jar of thunder beans rolled off the big table in the sky and crashed open. The water wall that held the thunder beans shattered and fell all over our beach town. . . I decided to try my luck and pop into the corner store.
I figured I could try my luck and see if i couldn't find an umbrella or at least a blow up raft to paddle home in.
Didn't exactly find what I was looking for but I DID find a rain poncho!
a one size fits all, three snap clear poncho!
Wearing this bad boy made me look like the most flamboyant wizard in the world.
A wizard who when choosing a robe decided that size was much more important than style.
but none the less, it got me home much dryer than i would have been without it. therefore i am thankful and letting it dry right now in the bathroom for tomorrow morning.
its still thundering and lightening - ing. . . ? outside.
i'll slip off to bed soon, im awfully tired and after all,
tomorrow is another day.

Oodilla-lee Oodilla-lee golly what a day!
today I awoke with a spring in my step, today was my day off and I was going surfing.
until we checked the swell. .. not pretty.
ill be honest I was pretty dummed out. . .
however! luckily our new friend Shadoe from Manitoba had a wicked idea to go see the Sydney opera house and the botanical gardens, take about an adventure!!! fantastic day today!
For two drama nerds like us. . . this is basically heaven.
The gardens - this is a cockatoo my friends, it loooooves to eat bread. and if it thinks you have any, they will fly at you and land on you. where ever they want. they are prrrretty cute as you can see.

A daily bowl of Guacamole aint bad.
Arg. Im sorry for not writting or a while. please blog dont take it personally. The truth is i've had alot of feelings to write about and every time I think to blog its because im grumpy or frustrated and im not going to take that out on you my friend, its not your fault. that being said, I am infact very frustrated. frustrated and tired.
I wont go into details because I dont need to really but their is tension on this side of the globe, the southern hemisphere to be more specific and in a little town called Coogee in NSW Australia to be precise.
My room mate snores. not like the gentle whistle of you father after a beer in a comfy chair "watching" the news on CBC. no NO.
(*For the Record. that reference is in fact in relation to my daddy-o and his snoozing habbits. I swear if you even dare as to so touch the remote, he wakes with a " huh? HUmmM? No no Katie. . .Im . . . im watching that. . . " what a guy <3 *)
BUT NO - this snoring dear blog is more like the hungry growl of a grizzly bear. . . maybe the mating call of a moose? . . . needless to say that though no fault of his own, I have been suffering from many a sleepness nights.
My room mate and I have been arguing about how to go about solving this problem and we've come to a standstill. and not an amicable one ill admit.
soooo for the past week or so i've been sleeping in bed until about 2 or 3 am before accepting defeat and grumpily and half dragging myself out of the room to sleep on the two person love seat or better yet, the kitchen floor/living room.
The love seat is tricky. if you sleep with your head on the arm rest you wake up with such a stiff body that you might as well walk around with your arms straight out drooling and slurring "braaaains" because well lets be honest. you look like a zombie. . . BUT if you DONT sleep with your head on the head rest then you get to curl yourself into positions that even body contortionists would say " how the hell . . .wheres that leg? . . . thats impossible she cant even. . . well ill be damned. . . " I tried it. couldn't bend down all day.
SO. instead of being angry and tired. i've decided to be diplomatic and fair.
Tonight, I am taking the mattress off the bed.
pulling it into my boudoir (* that means my bedroom or in this case the kitchen)
and am sleeping their. if he has a problem with it then by all means, sleep on the mattress. in the kitchen.
I'll sleep on the box spring in the bed room. no problem-o cause frankly, anything is better than the past few nights.
End of Rant.
ITS NOVEMBER! can you believe it bloggy blog?!
soon will mark the ne month of my adventure begining!! this also means one month until I get a visit from a certain someone. . . ^_^ and a month closer to christmas. *tinge of homesickness* but I am resolved to keep in good spirits. I am working loads and although its not very much money I am being a total tight wad and a stingy you know what. BUT this is a blessng in disguise as im saving money and cooking more and tring new recipies. on a totally unrelated topic - my favorite sushi restaurant has made me a preferred customer. . . twise.
look we all have our vises. mine happens to be for that freakin delicious restaurant UGH! they have a convayer belt of food running past you at all times, all these tasty plates one after the other. . . you want it? just take it... its yours. mmmmmmmm . . .sushi. . . NO . . . KEEP > . . . BLogGiNg!
I have two days off this week and the weather is looking prime fr surfing. HOORAY!!!! im soo excited to get back out on the water. . . one of the roomies and I watched JAWS on tv the other day . . . dont ask why.
Im not afraid of sharks tho . . . is that because I am brave. . .or maybe because Im not smart enough to be scarred of them. . . ah well ill okay with which ever one it is :)
Yesterday was the Melbourne Cup. a Horse race of giant hat porportion. Being home after work and broke as all get out, One of the roomies and I dressed up to the nines, poured a glass of Goone wine (* thats what the locals call the cheap wine that you get in boxes) placed our bets on two horses each and set off hootin and hollerin at the tv. I picked Harris Tweed and Once Were Wild. I did not win.
good run though!
I saw a lady in line the other day give 2$ to another lady, a stranger to her who was short the two bones. I watched the interaction and smiled all day. Its nice to know that even though you cross paths with people everyday who make you frustrated, that their are good people in the world. Love is all around, its everywhere you look.
Do me a favour, Find someone and tell them you love them. Right meow.
It's gonna feel awesome I promise.
