Fish markets... *drool*

I worked out why I could never post, I have 2 accounts, one is minervaqm and the real one is minerva_qm. So I kept logging into minervaqm and getting an empty dashboard. Ahha! Now I have to remember it's minerva_qm. If I ever forget, someone remind me. And you can't delete accounts yet either, it seems they don't have that function yet, according to bloghelp.

Fish markets was gooooood. Thank you Leach for organising it "Three cheers for Leach, hip hip, hooray, hip hip, hooray, hip hip hooray"
So we had, 'round 700g of salmon sashimi, 1/2 kilo of xl king prawns, 3 dozen oysters (1 doz Tasmanian pacific and 2 doz Sydney rock), calamari and of course wasabi and soy sauce as condiments. Also opened up the familiar looking champagne ;) for a toast all round. Then we ate some Max Brenner chocolate thins, mmmm... yummm...

FISH MARKET PHOTOS UP ON MY PHOTOBUCKET

After, we headed to Glebe Markets, soo expensive the lightrail tix. But was worth it to get to Glebe to buy books! And look longingly at jewellery at the Markets.
Then, after parting ways with Angi and Cat, *farewell farewell* oh yes and Hannah too, I hope she's alright. Kat, Lena, Karen and I headed to Cold Rock Ice creamery where we proceeded to select and mix in ice cream (not without some failed shortcuts, hehe). I had a Peanut butter choc swirl with cookie dough, Karen had a cookies and cream with cookie dough and crunchie (even though belatedly found out there were O-REEEE-O'S), Kat had rum and raisin and cherry ripe, and Lena had cookies and cream and, and, damn I forgot what it was. Oops.

Then after that, I wanted to head home, but was stopped by three people trying to drag off my bag, wallet, camera and glasses. And the only thing I really needed was my train ticket, but still I don't trust anyone else with my wallet, I have learnt my lesson all through physics I tell you! Then headed to Broadway Bar? had some drinks, had a good chat, well interesting chat really, eh?

Then went to UTS and had a sit down and chat, and had some things revealed to me, and interesting predictions. I'm sorry Kat, I really wasn't trying to harrass you, I find it interesting what/how people think of me and whether I'll really turn out like that in the future. Although after Lena and Karen kindly dropped me off later that night, I did learn some things, whether it'll be used in the near future or not, well, I don't know, I really don't know. You guys probably are discussing it now or thinking about it but, yea, I don't know.

But for sure, one true thing Lena said today, I would give the guy who'd love me (hehe) f***** hell for ages before anything would happen. I guess a trial(s) as in trials, not try-outs would be my thing, I mean, if you can't stand me, don't waste my time, I don't wanna find out 5 years later that you in fact really can't stand me. But yea.
And also as Kat said today, that I'd change to do something else when I get sick of nursing, because I can't stand routine, and I don't like stagnancy and it'll drive me insane. Lol, sadly I can see that happening. It's true routine does drive me insane unless I enjoy it. There's a certain safety net to nursing where routine is routine, also for the first 8 years, there's a guranteed payrise annually. But yea, I can see myself not working the floor for the rest of my life, but I can envisage myself working as a CNE (clinical nurse educator) or CNS (Clinical nurse specialist). Hell, maybe even nurse researcher, but I bloooody hope not. So you never know, our personalities do change over time, whether we adjust to our lives or still remain the same person all our lives*shrugs*

Sorry, very long post, had some good talks and some things to think about. But I gotta go study (read ff now).

Well my dad came back today, brought clothes, one which I told him to take back to HK to exchange. Or does anyone want a forest green granny cardigan, I. Am. So. Not. Kidding. I know I dress older than my age but really, I'm not 70 and in a nappy.

Current noise background: DPDO 1990

    Sorry dudes, I had to stick word verification back on.

    well, it sounds soooo familiar, but can't remember what it actually is. dammit!

    also sounds like it was good after we left, wish we could hang around, but already ended up pretty late to party. not that i think we missed much. but that's a story for another time. or not so much a story. but weighing up the good and bad: missed out on clod rock ice-cream, but did get chocolate eclairs. mmmm...

    oh oh. we belong together is the next line right? is that the title? by mariah carey? or is that something else? aargh! so close, but still not sure.

    did you use a search engine? I bet you you used a search engine...

    Hmmm... should I give you it??

     
  • At 09:20, Blogger Minerva said…

    ha yea!

    wow my word verification is zenim.

     
  • At 15:20, Blogger Catie said…

    no i didn't, thank you very much :p
    but yay! toffee apple for me! now we should start again, cos that was fun.
    just looked at my messy english essay again, tried to improve it, then went 'meh' and gave up. still haven't printed it though, maybe i'll do something about it... it confused my proofreader (bec), never a good sign...

    oh, any question huh? well, umm, so kat, what's your favourite colour? if that's not too personal... :p yu do sometimes only allude to things indirectly, or write a comment and then take it down again (o.k. that was once) but no worries.

    and no, i was hungry a few hours later. and i went to a 21st that didn't serve dinner. but they did have chocolate eclairs (i will go on about this) so that's o.k.

     
  • At 15:55, Blogger Minerva said…

    not very hungry right now, but that's because I'm tired and depressed. tired because I slept round 0300 and my eyes are puffy.

     
  • At 16:02, Blogger Catie said…

    depressed because? poor punny :( *hugs*

     
  • At 16:07, Blogger Minerva said…

    fighting, issues, dad's back so it makes it much much bigger. All in all, 'pparently my bro and I are moving out next year, into separate places, but my dad wants me to move out, of the house, of the home.

    More later, when I can gather my thoughts.

    Gaah. Poor pun. That's how I feel atm too, Stupid Cat's parents. Hyperbolic anf respectfully friendly death to them.

    All these posts and comments refer to things when I wasn't there. It seems to be all "and then we found stuff out *winkwink*. now let's talk about it obliquely" Almost as bad as being in Japanese, although not quite.

    Who found out what? Who thinks what of whom?How open are we supposed to be? And how personal is too personal? See, "what's your favourite colour?" is silly, (because I don't really have one, or it changes week to week), but "have you told your boyfriend you love him?" seems intrusive to me unless one is ina Hollywood movie. In which case it becomes standard fare. Hmmm... complications.

     
  • At 18:54, Blogger Alicia said…

    I found it Pun!

    It was in my desk* drawer... Will pass it onwards tomorrow...

    3 eyes?
    Someone else huh?


    *you know, that thing that I only look at twice a year for a week??

     
  • At 22:58, Blogger Catie said…

    essay prob. not so good, but i felt fine (well, after the running appallingly late for uni debacle) so that was o.k.
    hugs all round!
    *hug* for Pun
    *hug* for kathryn
    and a congratulatory *hug* for trees. yay essay/report finishing!
    no hugs for ang, who gives my parents death threats :p
    lol at leach, 'someone else', just what i was thinking... sorry pun, but i couldn't help myself.

     
  • At 00:55, Blogger Minerva said…

    Yea but I don't got no three eyes. Therefore I can't have my eyesss on anyone.

    Leach: how in the world did it ensd up in your desk drawer?

    Big family issues which need to be sorted out, that's why I'm depressed. And yea spent few hours crying last night. And arguing. So that's why eyes were puffy and still a bit actually.

    Will tell you if I really need to move out eventually. Well I'll have no choice really, ha! I won't be working next year so I can't pay rent, bills etc. Yea, very logical for kicking me out.

    Ok sounds a bit harsh, will tell you the not-so-entire story when it hopefully resolves, can't say all because it's a family issue.

     
  • At 16:48, Blogger Catie said…

    more *hugs*, and prayers and so on.
    we'll be house hunting at the same time? how exciting! (or not) join the club of homeless people. feel free to join us on our quest, i think it would be easier to find a place for 3 than for 2, but it would prob. be less convenient for you, so, y'know, whatever...

     
  • At 13:58, Blogger Ang said…

    move in with us, if you can stand us!

     
  • At 22:56, Blogger Catie said…

    yay! one big happy household, somewhere between sydney uni and liverpool!
