* Long Pointless Post *
Casey asked me out after we had ONE conversation, and he seemed to want to ask me out even before this ONE conversation (He asked Shannon if I had a boyfriend)... I just don't know...
Lol, the half naked guy is still half naked, walking up and down the corridoor. He stopped and did a little dance in my doorway. Lol.
I feel thinner... it's strange but I do. Possibly it's the not-eating thing, but I duno. This is the only time in my life i've wanted a set of scales to actually know if i've lost weight. Oh well... havta wait till April. I wonder if we have some at home somewhere... hmmmm... I know Nan's got some so maybe i'll go there.
You should be proud of me! I just ate a meat pie for lunch... okay so it's 4:09pm... and it's still the first thing i've eaten today... but still. =D
* Neighbours. *
I just met my new next door neighbour on my left, coz Josh moved up to R-top about a week ago. His name is Haseep and he's from Pakistan. He came and said hi coz my door was open. He seems nice, a little shy but nice.
* Send in the... CLOWNS! *
I need help with my science project. Let me give you the situation.
A group of people (two guys and two girls) are watching a movie in boys room, sitting on boys bed in a row, kinda like sardines. Movie is rather gruesome in some parts, girl wimpers when bad things look like they are going to happen. Boy offers to put his arm around girl. Girl doesn't reply. Boy says he will cover girl's eyes in gruesome parts. Boy puts his arm around girl and uses hand attached to said arm to cover girls eyes in particularly bloody 5 second part. Boy leaves arm around girl. Girl leans head on boy's shoulder because arm behind neck very uncomfortable. Boy occasionally leans head on girls head.
Boy gets food and removes arm from girl. After eating said food boy sits next to girl. Girl notices boys hand seems uncomfortable sitting between boy and girl. Time passes. Boy puts his arm around girl again.
More time passes. Movie eventually finishes.
So... tell me stuff... yes please tell me stuff... because this is annoying me and must be resolved.

Didn't end up going out with Casey last night, he was busy early and I was planning on going to the show with Caitlin, I asked him if he wanted to come but yeah, he was busy I think, possibly working (the phone line was dodge). Caitlin and I went to the show, our first venture onto the canberra bus system. It was kinda scary. I used my free ticket we got at the market day so it didn't cost me anything. Way cool! But I paid for Caitlin's ticket coz she didn't have any change so it actually cost me $2.50.
The show, I assumed would be very small and kinda crummy, with the animals and stuff. But omg it was huge. It was a real show! Like the Easter Show back 'ome.
NB: Oops just checked my phone, two messages from Casey from last night... oops, the phone was in my room =(
So it was $10 entry, and there were masses of rides and stuff... Caitlin and I didn't go on any, I wasn't feeling very well and they were heaps expensive, like the good ones were $10 per person. There were the usual side shows too, and scary carnies like usual. Shannon was working at the show (the only reason we actually knew about it) so we spend an hour and a half trying to find her. She told us that she was selling alcohol. So we searched and searched and searched. I had a hot dog for dinner (breakfast- i'm really not eating properly down here) and caitlin had a sausage sandwhich. I felt worse after the hot dog ($3.5) and bottle of fanta ($3). We eventually found shannon in one of the big hall thingeys, she was selling that alcohol stuff... ummm... the brand that michael bought me for my 18th. So anyway she's a great salesperson and sold a bottle each to Caitlin and I. I got Strawberry Schnapps and Blue Vodka. It's 24% alcohol so should make me pretty happy. 210ml in a funky bottle was $20.
Caitlin and I walked around a little more, she bought me a spongebob hammer for $3 coz I paid for her bus ticket =) I spent the rest of the night hitting people with it =)
We met back up with Shannon at 8:30 and her friend Amy picked the three of us up and drove us back to Uni. Very nice of her. So then Shannon and Amy went up to drink the wine Shannon had been given by her bosses and Caitlin and I went to find Damian to hit him with the hammer but he wasn't around =( So the two of us went and sat in the Green Room watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding coz it was already on tv. Some girls from my floor tried to get us to give up the tv so they could watch a movie which I thought was pretty not-nice of them. They did it subtly tho... "hey do you guys wanna watch this movie?". And we're like "uh, we kinda wanna watch this" and they ended up sitting behind us for a while before they got bored and went and watched the boys playing poker outside. Caitlin was annoyed at me hitting her with the giant hammer all the time so I went and got Adam from his room and then we hit him a bit while watching the rest of the movie. I was feeling kinda energised or something so I hit a John (Caitlin's John [NB: I call him Caitlin's John because he went to school with Caitlin for a while, and there are two Johns and it is confusing]) and Trev when he came in. Omg there's something about Trev... So anyway we ran around for a while in the courtyard, Caitlin and Adam were trying to get the hammer off me. Evil people. Chatted to Casey for a little while, he liked the hammer too.
Then after the movie, we went to find Damian again and wack him with the hammer. It was fun. So then we watched Shaun of the Dead and then Bill Bailey live (which I fell asleep in). And then we all went our separate ways and went to bed. I walked Caitlin to the street and I dont like her having to walk home alone. Problem is that if I walk her home then I have to walk home alone. It's really annoying. I wish she was living in Arscott.
So anyway i'm feeling more comfortable with the people i've met here. I'm really close to Caitlin, Damian, Shannon and Adam and it's really nice to have them around.
I had to pay my uni fees yesterday and I couldn't pay with my keycard coz there's a limit at the bank. So I didn't know what to do coz i've never withdrawn money from the bank by myself before. So I called Damian up and asked him what to do and he said he was thinking of opening up an account there so he went up with me which was really nice.
They say you really know a person after examining the contents of their fridge, or medicine cabnet (i'm not sure which). So let me tell you what is in my fridge.
- Brown Lettuce
- Coon Tasty Cheese
- A Carrot
- One and a half (probably rotten) tomatoes
- an almost empty bottle of apple juice
- an almost empty baby bottle of green cordial
- Milk
- a water bottle with green cordial in it
- A fourpack of raspberry cruisers
- three smirnoff blacks
- a Ruski
- a Midori illusion
Yup that's it.
So about this eating thing... i'm not eating properly. Yesterday I ate a hot dog, one piece of popcorn and a small amount of fairy floss. I didn't eat anything until 7pm.
It's midday and I havent eaten yet today, but that's pretty normal. I couldn't even finish the hot dog yesterday I was so full... strange. I have a microwave lasagne in the freezer in the kitchen and a pack of four meat pies as well.
Aah I was planning on talking about something... but I don't remember what it was. I'll post my timetable on here shortly, so you guys know what i'm doing and when. Everybody should call me lots!!
Oh and please help me with the senario up the top!!!
OOh a half-naked guy is out my window!! Nah... he lives on my floor so it's okay.

* NB *
Just a couple of quick notes.
1) I think i'm drunk
2) Casey asked me out
Went out tonight, since Shannon, Caitlin and I had finished our first week of uni for the year... woooooooo!!! Caitlin came round and Shannon, her and I went up to the uni bar, Caitlin and I found $20 on the floor so it paid for some of our drinks. SOME. Well it cost $6.50 for a Smirnoff black and we got one each first and then we each got anohter, and i'm mightily tipsy right now. Like not walking straight tipsy.
So anyway, Casey was at the bar too, Shannon asked him and his friend to wait for us and we walked up together. He's 23. I know, a lot older than me but... it's really not that much. So anyway... didn't hang around him at the bar, Shannon told me that he asked her if I had a boyfriend. Ooh. So anyway, I didn't finish my second drink (but i'd had some of Shannon's before so technically I made it to 4 standard drinks alltogether) but after that we walked home. Dropped Caitlin off at UV and then Shannon and I made it all the way home. Casey was in the Green Room with another guy from Arscott playing pool so Shannon and I sat in there and Damian came and joined us. At some point, after the game the other guy left and then Shannon left and so did Damian. I was going to leave but I thought I should stay so I chatted to Casey for a while and he got my number. Ooh. He was much more sober than I was at the time. We chatted for a while and I found out that he's from Melbourne, and uh... he works in Coles... and uh... um... uh... yeah thats all I remember for now. So anyway we said goodnight and I went up to my room and like 10minutes ago i got a message asking if I wanted to go to the movies with him this weekend and I said yes...
... I wonder if I have anything to wear. Remind me to fill shannon in in the morning.
G'nite.

* Uni Life *
So last night the entire of Arscott and half of Old Res decided that it would be a great night to have a massive party in the Arscott Courtyard...
I had class at 8:30 this morning. Argh!!! It was just so evil! I stayed inside and watched Spics and Specks and then Little Britain, had some dinner (see me eat good [okay so it was a microwave pizza and it was kinda gross but still]) during Little britain then went to my room n'stead of watching Glass House. Sat in my room for a while, called Shannon to ask if she wanted to go down to the courtyard with me but she had homework so I called Damian and he said he was waiting for a phone call but then he would after.
Met Shannon in the bathroom, gave her my hole puncher to borrow.
Damian and I went down to the party, I met some more people. Andrew (3rd year my next-door neighbour) and I tried to convince Lee Ann (from Canada) to be careful of drop bears but I couldn't stop laughing. Chatted to red-head-John for a while, and to a group of girls I dont really know that well... talked to O'doyle (dont know his real name) for a while. Trev (now I know who trev is, I didn't before and people kept mentioning him) told me he thought he knew me from somewhere.
Andrew (we're supposed to call him Fletch) and I were both complaining of having 8:30 classes in the morning so he went to bed. Couple of minutes after I decided to go to bed. After lying in bed for 15 minutes with no chances of getting any sleep coz of the ruckus outside I got back into my clothes and went back outside for a while.
Spoke to Casey. Lol. He was playing poker and he saw me

* Lecture Notes. *
Well I decided that No, Damian does not hate me. I decided this because he called and asked me if I wanted to go to the labour club for cheap meals again. But I declined because I wanted to eat the spaghetti in my cupboard (tin spaghetti btw). So anyway I left him a message while he was out asking if he had any bread and he called me back when he got home and asked if I still wanted bread. I said I changed my mind but asked if I could go down to his room and hang out coz I was bored. So we kinda watched the OC and then we watched Rove and then I went to bed.
Going through lecture notes at the moment, trying to grasp stuff... kinda difficult.

* Just felt like this... *
Charlie you're not my Charlie anymore
You're screwing it up
You're killing your soul with an audience looking on
If I hadn't left early last night
I would have made a speech to you
How you're not the only one you're going to hurt
If you don't believe me I don't believe in you
Makes it all feel better does it?
Makes you feel like heaven does it?
You loved it and you spent accordingly
You can't afford it now
You'll try and you'll fail
And love it like a little dog
And feed it on the scraps you find
And kiss it while you're still asleep
You buy now and pay later
So where's the problem you can ask if you keep your head up
But the road is long and you're falling asleep at the wheel
Here's a girl going crazy about you and I'm not far behind
Can you care about your friends anymore?
If you don't believe me I don't believe in you
Makes it all feel better does it?
Makes you feel like heaven does it?
You loved it and you spent accordingly
You can't afford it now
You'll try and you'll fail
And love it like a little dog
And feed it on the scraps you find
And kiss it while you're still asleep
You buy now and pay later
You buy now and pay later

This is a picture from the pub crawl. Shannon is on the right.
* RSL *
I think Damian hates me... quite possibly he does. I'm not sure why I think this. I duno, last night he called me and asked me to come down and have a look at his posers. Dale was there and Damian told me after Dale left that I was kind of meant to be rescueing him. It didn't really work. So anyway... we went to the Labour Club coz they have cheap meals on Mondays and Tuesdays, I invited Caitlin and Adam came with us too. I duno... Damian just seemed a little strange, a little less Damian. So of course I've concluded that it's something to do with me and the fact that he absolutely hates me but hasn't told me that he hates me yet.
Possibly i'm trying to hang out with him too much... coz he does have other friends whom I don't really know and he seems to be keen on mingling... maybe i should give him some space and hang out with Caitlin and Shannon more... but then I feel bad if us girls go out and don't invite him. But maybe he doesn't want to come anyway and he just comes to be polite or something. I'm not really sure. I duno... It's confusing.
So anyway i've decided that Casey's cute and now Caitlin won't stop teasing me about it. Well actually I havent even spoken to her today because she's got lectures. She has spanish tutes everyday, and they talk completely in spanish for them. Rather strange. Caitlin's doing B Tourism Management/B International Studies. She's never studies Spanish before but she's done French.
I'm gonna write about yesterday really quickly... because i'm sick of doing 'what happened today' posts.
Yesterday was my first lecture, Dale was in my class so thank god I knew someone. He's doing IT though, so it's the only class we have together I think. Anyway the lecture was kind of boring, i'm a bit worried about the whole thing, she gave out two assignments already and i'm not exactly sure what I have to do in them. Argh.
And yes, we went to the labour club for dinner. That's about it. Oh and I joined the labour club for three years at $5.50 instead of paying $1 for every guest entry.
My meal cost me $6.90 and a drink of coke cost me $2. I also ate a bread roll yesterday which I worked out to be .30c so it cost me $9.20 to eat yesterday. Not bad. Cept I kinda feel hungry and dizzy a bit at the moment. And very tired. I think I might go buy cereal and milk or something.

* Church *
This is soooooooo cool. Jash sent it to me.
* Talking Loudly. *
Sunday I didn't wake up until about 10am, slowly i've been sleeping in longer and longer. I got up, had a shower, possibly washed my hair... I washed it sometime... I just don't remember when.
Sunday was the last day for returning ressies to arrive before classes on monday so there were heaps of new people around and I chatted to a few of them. I got hungry at about lunch time (fancy that) so I made myself a roll with lettuce and cheese and tomato on it. It was yummy, I used my new chopping board. But when I had finished eating I realised that I didn't actually have any dishwashing detergent to wash my plates or anything. So after some coercing on msn by Rachel, Irene and Maya, I walked to the shops to buy some. I also bought spounges. And I bought a clothes drying rack and pegs. So I carried all that back to my room which was wonderful. It must have been almost 4 when I walked back because there was a sign at the lighthouse saying that there was a free bbq from 4pm. At about 4:30 Damian called and told me that Adam was wondering where I was so I traipsed down to Damian's room and the three of us hung out for a while (For a while I mean until 8ish). It was at this point that I was told that Damian is spelt Damian and not Daimen. My bad. Damian called Caitlin and told her that we were hanging out so she said she'd have some dinner before coming down. At that point Adam and Myself both left Damian's to eat our own dinner. I had soup and sat in the common room watching Australia's brainiest quiz show host... or something.
I was just washing up my dishes when Caitlin sent me a message and told me that she was on her way down so I made my way up to let her in, only realised when I had proceeded to walk through the closed door that the other door was wide open and I didn't actually need to let her in. Oh well.
So I took her down to Damian's room but he wasn't there so we assumed he was mingling in the courtyard with the 40ish people who were out there drinking together. We found him and I left both of them to run upstairs to finish drying my stuff and put it away before it was nicked. Then I went back down and Caitlin and I decided to go get Adam. We knocked on his door and brought him outside. Then we decided to also go get Shannon. Turns out she was in her room chatting on msn and drinking Midori. tut tut tut. So we brought her down, I ran to my room and changed my shoes and got my bag so we could leave for the lighthouse whenever. By the time we got outside a fair few people had migrated to the lighthouse already so we decided to go there. Damian jumped out and scared us at some point so we took him with us.
I bought a Raspberry Cruiser at the bar and Caitlin got a Raspberry Bacardi, Shannon got Midori, Damian got coke coz he didn't want the alcohol to aggrivate his stomach and adam didn't get anything because he doesn't drink. It cost me $5.50 for my drink.
We meandered round to the emptyish back room and played pool on an empty table. We got through half a game before some guys challenged us. The others went outside and Damian and I played against them, we were losing the whole game so I ended our misery by sinking the black ball when we still had three on the table. It was either that or just let them sink it by themselves. Meh. We played against two guys... both second years at UC, one of them living in Arscott but I hadn't seen him before.
After my gracious sinking of the black ball they both shook our hands and said good game and all that jazz. One of them shook my hand and said "Nice shot Katharine" argh, I hate it when people use my name in a sentence. i'm not sure if he was flirting with me but he seems a bit shifty coz when he found out I lived in Arscott the questions were like "ooh really? where abouts?" and I said Q-middle, and he said "oh yeah, what number?".. but shifty if they go straight to asking what your room number is... =S
So anyway after two games with them they left and we were challenged by another two guys, we really didn't particularly want to play again but you can't back down from a challenge. So we played again. By the end of this game there were about 7 of them standing around against Damian and I. It was fairly close but I sunk our last colour and the black ball in the same turn. Woo! AND, I might add, with some guy standing next to me going "no pressure".
Damian and I walked over to where Shannon was playing some video game with Adam and Caitlin watching. It was at this point that Damian discovered that I'd never been tipsy before so he decided that I needed another drink. I happily went and bought myself a Smirnoff black and got him a water while I was there. It took me half an hour but I finally got it. We sat at a table for a while, chatting, John sat with us for a while and other John sat with us for a while too, another guy sat with us for a while and he introduced himself but I don't remember his name.
There was a bar fight. I didn't know anybody who was involved but one of the guys we saw after had blood and a total tarzan style shirt going for him. I thought it was scary. The guys who worked at the place dropped their glasses and rushed straight in to break up the fight. Scary stuff.
So Adam wanted to leave at about 11:30 even tho we were trying to make it our "stay out past midnight not counting Damian's room" night. I drank the end of my Smirnoff as quickly as possible and then we left.
Interestingly though...
The five of us walked back together and as we crossed the bridge Damian spoke to the guy walking next to him (not one of us 5), he said "what's that you've got there?" because the guy was eating something "chips and gravy" the guy replied. And I turned around. It was Casey. Lol. He looked at me, pointed at me and said "wilson". Both the girls started laughing like crazy and I started talking (coz I was tipsy for the first time ever!). I said "omg I can't believe you remembered me" and he's like "yeah from the bus ride" and I said "I've walked past you like three times since then and you haven't said anything". He said that he walked past me on sat and he didn't want to say anything in case I told him to fuck off or something. And I said "no I'm not that mean".
So the six of us walked back, somehow Casey and I ended up at the front walking together and he asked me what I was studying this year and I told him and he said that he had done a Diploma in Business last year and I mentioned something about him getting through it and it not being deadly boring and I mentioned possibly dropping dead in the middle of it and he said that that would be a bad thing. Then he told me that on the bus when he was drunk he was going to ask me out and I was mightily shocked. And then we parted ways coz he went into the courtyard and we went into the stairwell between Q and R and we sat there for a while. Damian went off to see if his other friends were still awake in R block. So the four of us left traded email addresses so we could talk on msn at later dates and stuff. So Caitlin and Shannon were going *oooh lovers* which was slightly annoying. Casey came back in the stairwell to go upstairs and asked what we were doing now and we told him that we were going to bed. Ooh and red head John came in too.
Caitlin still had to get all the way up to UV so we decided to walk her at least to the street but in the end we walked her right up to her building. We walked back down and into Arscott and were walking past a group of people sitting in the courtyard (Casey was there) and this girl yells out "are you guys going to the lighthouse?" and we're like "no" and then she says "are you guys going to checkers" and we're like "no, we're going to bed" and then Shannon and Adam escorted me back up to my room coz I was slightly dizzy and I went to bed.
I was sooooooo tired but I was in bed by 12:15am. The people in the courtyard kept me up though because they were talking loudly.
* Pool Friends on Saturday *
I have my first lecture in an hour and 20 minutes. I'm kinda nervous. What was the last day I got up to telling you guys about? I know I havent done yesterday (sun) but did I do Saturday? I'm not sure. Let me go check.
*pushes 'view blog' button*
*waits*
*looks*
*closes window*
Well apparently I only got up to friday. So I shall try and remember what happened on Saturday. Ooh and when I get up to writing about Sunday I have Casey news!! Ooooh!
So the voicemail system hasn't been working all weekend so i've been having withdrawral systems from the light in my phone never turning on. It's strange.
Caitlin, Shannon and I had planned to go shopping on saturday so Caitlin could buy a tv, we would use Shannon's car to drive it back to uni rather than carrying the gigantic boxed monster the 1km. So I called Damien in the morning, maybe 11ish to see if he wanted to come too but there was something wrong with his phone and it was either all static-ey or you got the busy signal. I called like 5 times. Then I called Caitlin and told her that I couldn't get onto Damien and asked her what time she wanted to go. I hung up with her and Called Shannon but I didn't get an answer so I called Caitlin back right away and told her. We agreed to give them until midday and then I would go down and knock on Damien's door and see if he actually was alive.
At 11:55 I went downstairs and knocked on Damien's door. I heard a muffled "hello" like he always says so I pushed the door open. He was in bed, in the dark and I felt oooh sooooo terrible for waking him up. I mean I know it was midday but I still felt bad. I said "omg I'm so sorry if I woke you up, i'll come back later" and I raced away. It was funny.
Caitlin walked down at about 1pm (I think) and we wrote a little not to Damien and one to shannon saying pretty much the same thing.
Caitlin and I were going to go to the shops and we were wondering if you wanted to come. We're going to head off now so here are our mobile numbers if you wanted to meet up with us later.
Except Damien's started with "I'm sooooooo sorry if I woke you up!!"
So we took Damien's down to his room and slipped it under his door but then we knocked because we assumed he would be awake by now. So he said he wanted to go to the shops and we waited for him to get ready. We slipped one under Shannon's door but we also knocked and got no answer so we assumed she was out.
Oh, btw, Shannon lives on Q-top (top floor of building Q) and in her hallway was a massive amount of vomit. Okay well the vomit was gone but there was a mass amount of big wet patches and powder. Gross. We tried to step around it.
NB: I just went to my lecture and then came back so about two and a half hours have passed since I wrote the above paragraph
Caitlin and I went back down to Damien's room, picked him up and then went to the shops. We figured that Caitlin could pick out a tv and buy it at a later date when Shannon was around with the car. So we looked in a couple of shops and I bought a cool orange folder coz I only have three folders. And I bought a cable that I hoped would connect my printer and my computer (coz my printer has a serial connection and my computer only has USB). Um... and Damian bought a smoothie from Wendy's, we looked everywhere for a door snake for Damian but couldn't find one. Caitlin bought some stuff too.
Damian went back and Caitlin and I did some grocery shopping, I bought creaming soda and paper for my folder and she bought a basket full of stuff.
Uh... what else happened? Well Caitlin and I weren't keen on sitting around on a saturday night so we decided that we would go out. somewhere. anywhere.
So she came back about when it got dark and then... hmmm... I think I was in Damian's room... or maybe that was sunday... or both. Anyway we went down to Damian's room and he wanted to go to the labour club so the three of us went there, we walked up the scary unlit path and Damian walked into a spider web which was funny. Hehehe. The labour club is kinda more like a RSL, except smaller than the local RSL to my house, there r pokies and a bar and couches and tvs and a place for actual meals and pool tables.
Caitlin and I both got a Ruski and Damian got a beer. Damian's friend Andy was there (who saw me today and completely ignored me =P argh) so he sat with us for a while. There was a huge group from the Uni there but noone I particularly knew so we didn't really bond with them.
Now apparently there are pool table rules that you must abide by. If there are people at the pool table and you wish to play on it you can challenge them. You put a coin on the table (preferably $2 or the cost of the game) and when they finish the game they're in the middle of you play each other and the winners get the table. Often there is a second challenge straight back.
So anyway we challenged three people who were playing on one of the tables. They were really nice and they introduced themselves. The girl was Jenny but I don't remember either of the guys names. So Damian and I played against Jenny and her boyfriend and they thrashed us. So there was immediately a second challenge. It wasn't really a challenge thing, it was comfortable and friendly. We played three games with them overall.
The last game came down to the wire, it was Damian and I against Caitlin and one of the guys (who spent most of the night hitting on her *oooh lovers*), we'd been winning most of the game but it was down to the black ball... and it was my shot. So you know that means disaster. Anyway I sunk the black ball but then knocked the white in after it which meant we lost. Argh. But it was fun and it actually wasn't about the winning or anything, normally i'm kinda competitive but I really wasn't then. Damian wasn't feeling well so we took him home after the last game. The guy who had been hitting on Caitlin the entire night hugged both us girls before we left (now the only reason he hugged me is because he wanted to hug her and it would be too suspicious if he just hugged her). He's a butcher. And he asked if we would be at the lighthouse on Sunday night and Caitlin and I said yes but Damian wasn't too sure.
We got back to the house and Damian invited us into watch more "whose line is it anyway" so of course we didn't decline. hehehe I love that show. So Caitlin and I left at about 1:30AM and I went up and had a microwave lasagne for late late dinner and then went to bed.
