Unexpected sunburn

Sarah, Tash, Zac and I decided to hit Frankston beach today. Sure it was hilariously fun, but with dire results. Here's a list of pros and cons:

• We dug a giant hole in the sand (about 1x2m big and like a metre deep)
• Got to catch up, woot
• Saw Katherine working at subway
• Had a half-conversation with a crazy woman at Subway
• Ate lots of ice-cream

Here are the cons:

• We all got really retarded unwanted sunburns, in bizzare places in patches, which I originally thought was a rash and thought nothing of it
• Sarah hates Kate Miller-Heidke
• I hate the beach.

Not many cons really, I just wanted to complain about this misleading red mark everywhere. It's all stingy and such! And yes, I really dislike the beach. It's wet and sandy and windy and uncomfortable and really not worth it. Find a swimming pool damn it, forget the ocean.

This woman in Subway... she was ahead of us in line, being served by Robert (see: Katherine's epic blog) as her child was getting a sub made. When asked what cheese she wanted, the girl said swiss or something and the mum corrected her, "no, she'll get cheddar." Then the girl complained that she wanted three cookies. "No, you're getting two." "But I want three." "Two." "three!" Then the woman screamed, disrupting us all, "TWO!" which we found hilarious.

Then we had sat down, and Tash was casually discussing the prevelance of peanuts in food giving allergies. Zac had said something about the name of peanuts as opposed to regular nuts, I dunno, I wasn't really listening. Then we all just heard this, "BULLSHIT!" coming from elsewhere - it was that woman chiming in on the conversation. She was butting in about "she's right" and "you don't know what to say now, do ya!" to Zac, but was totally treating it like an argument rather than an enquiry about peanuts, and made it out like her BULLSHIT addition actually made a difference and was a valid point of argument. Naturally, we found all this hilarious and kept quoting her the rest of the day.

On a completely different topic, I bought a ticket for Kate Miller-Heidke yesterday. She's playing at the Zoo on the 5th of Feb. Anyone that wants to come with, feel free. I'm trying to get Scott and Zac to come, and Special K (the collective name for Kirk and Kate) are coming too. It shall be rather exciting!

Farewell.

What could make this situation better? Oh, I know! The Holocaust!

The book for English I have to read before school goes back is titled "Night", by Elie Wiesel. It's the author's auto-biography cleverly wrapped in fiction, sort of - it's his survival tale of The Holocaust in novel form. Sure, it's boring and depressing. But reading it sure beats staring at metrosexuals on the train.

I'm only thirty pages in, and it hasn't gotten exciting at all. It's gonna be Generals Die In Bed all over again, the book we studied at the end of last year about life in WWI. In fact, the writing style is basically the same. So far, it's been jumping to plot points so quickly by using misguided, 5-word sentences. "Dad said we have to move. The next morning, we all got up and moved to the ghetto." What the hell is that?! Being that the book is about such a dramatic event, I was expecting something a little more thrilling. I hate reading, I really do. English class has ruined books for me.

I am really the laziest person I know...

I blame glandular fever.
Oh yeah, I'd probably better get diagnosed with it first.
I reckon I have it though.
Hypochondriaaac!

Anyway I haven't been on Blogger in almost a month. What have I been up to...

Well, I've become quite addicted to Facebook as of late. I'm actually on it more than MySpace now. It's like a mature MySpace for older people. I love it.

Oh, did I mention we got a cat? We got a cat. His name is Jax, and he's cute and cuddly and annoying at times. Just like kittens are.

I've been working at southland still. only yesterday did we get the word that the store is confirmed for the first week of March. How incredibly annoying! But I'm liking work. It'd be 99% awesome if I didn't have to travel so much for it.

Katherine and I decided to host a New Years party in her backyard with as many youth group people as possible. Besides us, we had 9 guests. It was awesome-town. I brought my computer to use as a jukebox. At like 11:45, the word was, "Let's go to the beach!", rendering the entire party moot.

I got accepted (like there was a test) into Vetamorphus; a Christian bible-study peer-group one-year VCE VET course. Enough adjectives? I thought so.
The first major retreat is at the end of February. Quite good. School starts back on the 28th of Jan. Now I'm wondering, when are we gonna have peer groups?

Speaking of peer-group leaders, my future one, Miss Sarah Mason, got married to one maths teacher Andrew Backholer last week. It was a beautiful occasion, and basically a Bayside reunion. Success for marriage!

Besides the happiness, I'm in a fairly crap mood right now. Thanks for not noticing. Well, I tried to avoid it.

Have a good... season!
