Backpedalling

Due to monumental stress and busy-ness, I feel unable to cope with the organisation of PotC2 for a large group of people.

Please refer to Chad for your pirates-viewing needs.

=^_^=

ARRRR!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MY FRIENDS:

I am heading to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 when it starts on Thursday 6th July.
Chad and I have discussed the possibility of a large group of us going together, so if any of you want to come and see PotC2 that evening, please let me know as I plan to book tickets in advance.

So far, only one session is confirmed and I can book tickets for it this Thursday. It's for 8:45pm on the 6th. How does everyone feel about that time? I might wait and see if there are any earlier ones going that night over the next couple of days as more sessions are confirmed, depending upon what you guys think! :)

In any case, if you want to come on the Thursday night, please leave a comment! I'm going to attempt to organise this whole thing... I'll need to go in at some stage I suppose and pay for the tickets... so money would be needed in advance!

Cheers!

Damn The Man

The University Sux. :P

So, I go into class at polytech, right? And I get called into the office by the secretary, who says that the University doesn't have any record that I'm enrolled.

I have a sheet that was printed out BY ENROLMENT with my class details PLUS a RECEIPT that says I've paid for said courses! :P

So, I relay this information, then get called back later by the secretary at polytech who says the university has *found* my enrolment information, but I'm somehow still not on the class lists!

Which thus means I cannot receive my polytech student ID, because they need proof I'm attending classes on this campus before issuing me one.

Why is this such a problem?

Because I attend the Jazz School, which has *swipe card access*... the student ID cards for those attending here are encoded with swipe access for the jazz school.

I cannot get into any of the rooms without someone else letting me through at this current point of time.

I'm not afraid to say, that THIS is a PAIN IN THE ARSE.

That is all for now. I'm sure I'll find time to rant about this further at some other stage. :P

Just A Note...

Uhh... I have reconsidered my last post and realise my comments about the males in my flat not doing any house work may have come across as serious; I just want to make sure everyone knows I was joking! :) They do a lot; in fact, Breo took it upon himself to do the manly chore of mowing the lawn.

...I would prefer dishes.

...In fact, I would prefer nothing at all.

...Actually, I probably do less than them anyway :P

heheh.

ta ta for now my pets!

An Update. woo.

sup.

:)

Well, life seems to be getting back into the swing of things... with several changes :P

I am now flatting (more on *that* later!), and last week I turned 21, which was kinda scary. I'm an "adult".

Ugh. It probably shouldn't be legal to define me as an "adult".

Also, this will be my last year of study, after which I will have completed my degree: a Bachelor of Music. yay. :)

...So yeah. As per usual, life is hectic!

Anyway... back to the topic of flatting. It has been fun so far with the likes of Matt, Breo, Mike and my only other female companion in a flat of boys, Kate. (However, would SOMEONE OF THE MALE INHABITANTS PLEASE DO THE DISHES?! WE ARE NOT YOUR SCULLERY MAIDS!...unless you pay us. lots... and uh...no, we won't wear uniforms :P)

In any case, no matter my grumbling of the lack of cleaning, I actually really enjoy being in the flat unfortunately dubbed "Tonga Massive" (due to such a title on the letterbox. boo.)

So... what else could I say about my life at the moment for all you stalkers out there?

...I've been thinking about creating an anime/cartoon comic strip, since I love drawing anime so much, as a representation of my life and posting it on here... I doubt this would really make anyone else laugh apart from me, since I will take great pleasure in drawing my friends as anime characters... hehehe. But I don't exactly have much time at the moment, so I shall see...

In any case, I'm starving and I'm currently at jazz school taking up unneccessary space on one of the computers...well, I have been copying CDs-Imean-ahhh *cough*...researching and listening to different artists to help with my musical education? uh....

*runs away*

Tent Needs For Parachute!

Hey everyone

I am posting in desperation to say: I need a tent for the Parachute music festival this year, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any available? Either a tent I can borrow, or someone who is going up there with a tent that has space for me! I'm leaving for Wellington on Monday, then going straight to Parachute from there, so please let me know if you can help!

Anyone got any ideas?

Gone But Not Forgotten

I found out today that my cat is dead.

She was put down at the beginning of the week.

I casually asked mum why I hadn't seen Cinders recently (affectionately remembered as "Cindy"), and she said she had had her put down...

Cindy, as those who are close to me know, had an excessive drooling problem; in fact, it was subject to great amusement that long "drool chains" would extend from her mouth to the ground and drag along beside her as she padded around home...

But I knew, though I laughed, that it was a health problem and urged mum to take her to the vet...

...who announced that Cindy's mouth was cancerous. Half of her top gum was rotten and decayed away...

She also suffered from some bone malfunction thing which pretty much meant she had animal arthritis...

I would have thought she would have been in more pain, but she never seemed unhappy... just desperate for some attention.

Which I never gave her.

But I loved her. I did and I still do; though she was really fat and drooled everywhere, I challenge anyone to show me a cat more sweet tempered than her...

It didn't matter whatever you did to her; she would just look trustingly up at you with large, luminescent green eyes... and if you needed a cuddle, she would be the first one to waddle over and curl up on your belly, purring loudly.

Okay, the drool-thing became pretty disgusting, but I will be hard-pressed to ever find another cat as affectionate as her.

Plus, I guess I'm also sad because she has pretty much been my "life companion"; I've had her since I was about six years old... which means she was quite old for a kitty, but it doesn't change the fact that I miss her...

And the timing sucks too. It's like everything is changing for me at the moment. I'm going flatting next year, I'm almost finished with my study, this will be the first Christmas I've had without my family...

And now one of my best feline friends is gone.

To those who I am flatting with next year: I'm starting to really want to have a cat in the flat... whether or not I'd be allowed to, is the main question...

But if it was possible... *sigh* it didn't matter before, because I could always go home and visit Cinders, but now...

Now she's gone. And I miss her so much. I know she's an animal, but it's more than that:

She was one of a handful of "symbols" in my life that represented familiarity, comfort and security: she was home.


...

I will never forget you, Cinders "Baby" of the Eastmond Tabby Family. You were the best cat companion I could have ever hoped for. I miss you...

It Came Out From Under A Rock...

*crawls out from under rock and brushes off dust*

Greetings Blog-Readers!

I have returned!

Today was the last day of my courses and it is time to get back on the socialite bandwagon.... so to speak... ?! :P

So this is a note to all my friends: ring me now if something is going on, cause I am well and truly ready to cut loose and wreak havoc on society! MUAHAHAHA *cough*

As you can probably tell, my self-inflicted hermitage has had a rather ill effect on my sanity...what little I had in the first place :D

Anyhoo, Random Jess Update:

1) Am finished for the year, as I said. Now to write more personal songs, rather than finishing assignments :P
2) I shall be in Wellington for most of next week, taking part in some musical business plan-thingee I've been invited to attend. I'm going up there to jam, write some music, see if I match up musically with other people, and if all goes well I'm looking at a role as Music Director in the project... whether or not I'll accept such a hefty position and responsibility remains to be seen, as it could possibly change my life around completely!
3) In relation to the above, am also going to be playing in a band at Parachute '06... so you better all be going!!!!!!!!!!! It will be a good experience for me. Hopefully it will encourage me to get off my ass, write my music and get a band together myself to take to Parachute '07... Anyhoo...
4) THE POOL IS 30 DEGREES! Who is coming to my place for a swim these hols?! *grins*
5) My parents are going away this Christmas, leaving me all by me onesies, so if there are going to be any other orphaned children in Christchurch, let me know! We should organise something! I hear the Suva St flat might be up for a Christmas party???... (I'd do something here, but we all know what my parents are like, and the further along I go in my Christian walk, the more guilty I feel if I go behind their backs and have people over anyway. Much as I'd obviously like to... My mother is paranoid, I swear... *shakes head* "Your friends will set fire to the house!!!"..not that she has said that, but she may as well :P)
6) BEAT this Thursday! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's the end of year concert/party for the Jazz and Rock School at CPIT. Tickets are available through Ticketek. It's at the Convention Centre. AWESOME! Once the concert is done, us Jazzites will take over the entire place and party until midnight...at which point everyone will go off to their own individual underground-barely-legal-gatherings *grins* (lol, I exaggerate, but you get the idea). Fun for me! *does a little dance* In any case, the concert is open to all of ya, if you're willing to pay out a few bucks through Ticketek.
7) I've got a few gigs coming up, so if anyone is interested in hearing me play, check my jazz band's website, The SJ Set, for details!

Anyhoo, I'm off!

Love,
Jessi the Social Butterfly (recently having escaped the cocoon of jazz school)
