English language

Have you ever realized how alien the English language can sound sometimes? take a word, any word, strip it's meaning from it and then repeat it over and over, concentrating on the way it sounds and the way your mouth moves to produce it. Amazing. It turns into gobbledegook.

One of my favourite words to do this to is "flabbergast".. it's already an entertaining word and I use it whenever I can because it gives me a thrill but seriously, do it! flabbergast... flabbergast... flabbergast.. flaaaaaabeeeergassssst...

Rockstars and Ruby Red Lipstick

My brother is in town! just for a little bit.. do you think they remembered my birthday when he walked in at 12:01am 23rd of July?? no siree (sad face). He's lucky he brought an eventful first week of my life as 21.. wasn't just him though, some great friends (those pics not included though) and some great red lipstick my sister found.

Fun was had by all.

Must be Dreaming (Frou Frou)

Been on repeat for the past two weeks (at least).

I want it.

Just a quick little brag..

Guess who's been put on the door for the Foals on Monday and Tuesday? yep, be jealous.

Me and my amazing hookups.

=D

And when I think about it I am so smug. That is all.

Out of the archives and onto the world wide web.

As some of you may or may not know I recently moved back in with the parentals (progression, that's what we like. Ha.). This move meant that I had to clear out the 'junk' room at mama's ready for me to move my things in. Oh joy. Anyway, not all things turned out to be as dull as it sounds, I did come across a few things golden. Enjoy.

Oh yes, go the 90s and the middle part/spiked hair, puffy adidas jackets and ten sizes too big tops hahaha. My older brother and his bf (best friend that is) in yr 7.

Mummy served her mission in England. Suppose it was the first time they saw a Tongan... so they made her a "grass" skirt.. don't think they realised that's traditionally a Hawiian thing haha

A different day judging by mum's change of clothes but they've brought the grass skirt out again, bless them. Can I just point out though how sexy his legs are? mmmmm.

Me at 4/5, don't know which.

hehe love my 80s hair, thanks mum. All us kids minus the youngest.

Evidence that they were young-ish once... who invited the moustached, curly mulleted black fellas.. mum? we're not related to them are we?

Mummy and me.. I hope I look that amazing after just giving birth

Look I don't know who these people are or why we have their wedding pic but how could I not post this one?!

Our house in Tonga.. contrary to popular belief it's not all grass huts and teepees :P

My older brother when he was little.. so darn cute! then puberty hit... haha kidding

Grandmama.. she was always so pretty.. and always so obsessed with pink!

When plastic made me happy :)

Jocey! evidence that she did like to eat... once.. haha

A bunch of social retards.

You wouldn't think that a simple phrase, a greeting, a salutation, such as "Hey, how you going?" would be a suitable reason to incite any sort of physiological change in one's body, right? Apparently so, according to commuters on the 72 tram to Camberwell yesterday.. How is it that we, as a society, have turned into a complete bunch of unsociable gits that think the world and all the inhabitants therein are out to get us when one friendly question is asked? Why do we feel the need to avert our eyes when a stranger decides not to be a miserable twat and ask the person next to them how their day is? Why do our hearts beat a little quicker, palms get a little sweatier and we look at each uneasily? Or to the recipient of said question, why act as if nothing was said at all?

Possible answers:
a) We've evolved through the eras into communally disabled conversationalists
b) We're sick cynics
c) the lesson "don't talk to strangers" that we're taught as a child becomes innate as we get older hence the degeneration of simple conversation...

Oh, didn't anybody tell him it's not ok to make conversation with strangers? Oh wait, we can't tell him, we don't talk to strangers.. let's just treat him like a freak, general acquiescence please.. but no words because we don't know each other..

When did common conversation become too confronting? when did it start taking people out of their comfort zones to be polite??

Now I'm not trying to palm my guilt off out into inexistence or be all "holier than thou" because I am certainly guilty of participating in this disgrace which has become a public norm.. just saying, this is what I observed.

On a further note, I know chivalry is supposed to be dead but what happened to general humanity? Close to getting a bit arty-farty and "heal the world" here but nevertheless, when an old lady has to help a young mother and her pram onto a tram when there are plenty of young men standing around near the door, then you know, something is terribly, terribly amiss in the world

On the weekend I:

• discovered meat makes me physically disgusted
• only rode European cars
• drew a picture to tip a waiter
• had an Asain photo shoot 
• got kissed by a homeless guy
• got a rose from an alcoholic/junkie Phil
• spoke to slightly scary junkie Phil for over an hour
• had a pool-cleaner-tasting piece of cake
• got let down by Savers
• went pole dancing
• went to Little Italy
• lap-danced in a park
• got into an organic/vegan v carnal debate
• had a soy gelati
• went to church to repent for any shady weekend frivolities
• had tim tam slams (I was a bad vegan/organic)
• played charades
• got squished on a couch in between 7 screaming girls trying to look sexy for the camera
• got a haircut
• played a tribal chief, sleazy American footballer, interrogater, Next Top Model judge, plastic surgeon and Lebo from Broady.

Today I am broke, buggered and my body is as stiff as a board!
