Formal Date? o.o

I should be working my ass off right now, but just cos i'm so good at prioritizing, i thought i'd type up a blog entry instead ^^ heheheh...

So, last week [was it?] Amanda and i made a pact that we would both try to fill our date quotas [since we both registered that we were taking dates when the formal people went around asking]. Anyways, we hyped ourselves up about it on the phone, and suddenly our lives became filled with purpose XD Amanda was actually due to see her person several days ago at tutoring, and she was all prepared to ask him, but then he didn't turn up =_=" SOooo, her chance will come on Monday =] If he says no [which he shouldn't], we must firstly all hug Amanda, and then go and bash the guy for being retarded and loserly, kay? ^^ hee..

And with Amanda's moral support, i ended up asking Brian to go with me... >< he said that if he's not going away, then he'll go with me. So i'm refusing to let myself get happy about it, cos there's still a 50% chance that he won't come. So... yeh. But... 50% of a date is better than nothing, right...? And i won't even get into JJ and her "ferris-wheel-cuteness" idea. But damn you for putting these ideas in my head T.T

Hmm... well, what else have i got to say...? Amanda's house was fun [see JJ's blog], and Vicky and I are going to see Mamma Mia on Monday [alliteration!]. Call me a loser, but i love musicals ^^ And that also means that i won't be able to make it to Josh's picnic. Too bad. So sad.

Yeh... it's a little strange... i saw him walking past my house on his way to Centennial, and he was totally rude. but then i got this message from him the next day telling me that he's planning a picnic thing for monday, and would i like to join. I sent him an sms saying that i had half baked plans for Monday, and that i'd let him know. And he sends me back a message saying "half baked like a cookie?"

... yep, sure josh. Half baked like a cookie. -__-" baka. I'm going to Bondi Westfields tonight, since its thursday night shopping, so i might ask him if he wants to come with. He wanted to meet up once these holidays, and i'm not going to his picnic, so... nyeh, whatever.

OH! I ALMOST FORGOT! Fruits Basket volume 20 came out this month, so i bought it [naturally], and... and... Akito is such a biatch!!!! aaarrgghhhh!!! I got to the end, and i was like O_O / T.T / >.< / ;_; Dunno if i should care about giving spoilers and whatnot, seeing as people have either read ahead in the scanlations, or don't give a shit anyhow, but... wah... >< One of my favorite FB couples of all time might not happen!!! Oh, the agony. [See, i told you i'm fantastic at prioritizing...]

Anyways, I should go and do something constructive... maybe...

Hope you guys are all doing well, and I'll see you all on Tuesday. wh hoo. School. Oh joy of my life -___________________-

Well, negative stuff aside, hope you have a decent end of holidays =] cyaa

the turkish restaurant

my mum, my dad and i went out to eat last night with some people that my mum used to know through TAFE. we went to this turkish restaurant, and OMG it was sooo good. i shoud've taken pictures of all the food, but... it would've looked really strange under the circumstances. but anyways.

when we arrived at the place they were already there [the parents plus 2 kids, both guys], and they told us that they had ordered this pre-set menu thing, so that we would've have to bother ordering stuff. so the waiter people brought out all of this bread and huge plates with dips, eggplant dishes, crispy pastry filled with ricotta cheese [or some kind of cheese], potato salad and diced tomato salad. the four parents sat at one end of the table, and the three "children" sat at the other end , and we got one dish of everything per 'group'. it all tasted SO good, and i ate too much =.= anyways, there was so much food on the table that you couldn't see the table, and i was full by the time i finished eating. but then it was announced that what we had just consumed was only the entree, and that we still had a main course and dessert to eat O_O and the two guys i was sitting with ate so much food that even i couldn't believe it. and i can eat a LOT when i want to. seriously, i know that asian people don't like to waste food, but these two guys [not asian] took it to a whole new level. it was crazy. i felt kind of sick after seeing them eat so much.

so main course came out about an hour after we finished the so-called entree. it was a big dish [one per group again] of lamb, chicken, beef, vegetables and rice. i actually managed to eat some of it, just because it tasted so damn good. but still... so much food ><>_>

and THEN the mother of the other family ordered tea and coffee for people, so i had a cup of tea.

and THEN [this is at about 11pm], the restaurant is kind of emptying out, and the manager people tell us that we can move over to the couch dining area, since there were no people there. i'm guessing that the couch dining area was created in authentic turkish fashion, cos the couches and seats were reallly low to the ground. anyways, we sat around talking about some stuff, and then somebody ordered us [the three young people] all apple tea, so i had apple tea. and then at about 12pm, somebody ordered more apple tea for us, so we all got another serving. and then the managers gave us another plate of dessert just cos they felt like it, and i had one piece of something, and barely managed to finish it, even though it was bite-sized.

by the time we got home, it was 1:15am. it was fine for me [i would've liked to have stayed longer], but i was so shocked that my parents actually stayed out so late without falling asleep. amazing.

and here i am at lunchtime the next day, having had half a glass of orange juice for breakfast and no lunch, and i'm still full. which is quite a phenomenon for me. this is the first time that i can remember that my tummy has failed to rumble after missing two meals. phenomenon indeed.

ok, i've still got stuff to say, so this is gonna end up being pretty long >_>

going back to the turkish restaurant situation... one of the brothers was in year 7, and the other was first year uni. and it took about five minutes for the younger one to warm to me, and after that he would not shut up. and he asked me such random questions. like... the last time i saw them, we battled for the title of superior pokemon trainer on our gameboy colors. so obviously we had plenty of stuff to catch up on. but... the year 7 kid would turn to me whenever the mood struck him [which was about ever thirty seconds], and here is an example of some of our conversations:

him: hey sarah!
me: what?
him: do you like onions?
me: ... uh... yeah, onions are good... it's not like i can eat them by themselves or anything, but they're good in stir fry and stuff...
him: oh, ok... what about leeks?
me: @_@

and

him: hey sarah!
me: what?
him: i have blue violin!
me: ... that's great, brendan. i have a brown violin.
him: do you play computer games?
me: @_@

and

him: hey sarah!
me: what?
him: have you ever done pottery?
me: no, actually, ive never done pottery.
him: oh... i'm coming second in my class in science!
me: @_@

he was the most random kid i've ever met. he just talked and talked and talked and talked about everything, and even if i was in the middle of talking with his brother about something, he'd be like "sarah, guess what? i can make a talking face hand puppet with a tissue!"... yeh. he was really cute for the most part, but there were times when i wanted to say "brendan, let's play a game. let's play 'see if brendan can sit on his chair for five minutes and not say anything'. but whatever. year sevens will be year sevens, i guess xD

anyways, my mum is telling me that i have to eat something otherwise its unhealthy... >< i don't wanna eat anything... T.T my stomach will blow up. well, whatever... cyaa

eyecandyy!!! *sighs*

omg omg omg. my eyes are so happy right now xD while i was at the gym just then i saw this guy who was really hot *drool* he was aussie-looking, so i was kinda surprised that i found him so damn attractive. i'm not being racist [or am i?hmm...] , but i tend to be more attracted to asian guys. but whatever. who cares. he was so hot ^^ and he had a really good body =D [not that i was looking, but.. you know... gym clothes tend to be more revealing of your body assets or faults... ]

he actually looked kind of like a guy who used to go to my primary composite class, but since i hardly knew him back then, and since its been so many years, i couldn't really be sure at all. so i guess he was just a vague representation of what i thought a guy i barely knew in primary school might possibly look like when he got older haha. sooo... yah. basically i have no idea whether it was him or not. i dunno whether he caught me looking at him, but if he did i must've looked really creepy >< but anyways. it totally made my day worthwhile XD *sighs* i really should get my priorities in order one of these days...

so... tomorrow's the last day of term. this week has seriously dragged by for me. i woke up on monday and felt like it should've been friday. i woke up on tuesday and felt like it should've been friday. and finally i'm going to wake up tomorrow and it's actually going to be friday. but then i guess that i have a ton of work to do, so... meh... whatever. no classes for two weeks. lets be positive. i hope that we can all work hard in preparation for the trials ^^ easier said than done, but... we haven't got very much time left. i'm freaking myself out by typing such un-me-like things, but i'm trying to motivate myself here >_>

and anyway, we've got next thursday to look forward to, which'll be lots of fun^^ one day of pure brainlessness and messing around will be good for us, i think. hopefully it'll make us work harder before and after. like... before thursday i can think that i should do lots of work so that i can go out on thursday, and then after thursday i can think "well, i had one full day of doing absolutely nothing, so now i should get down to business". anyways, it should be a good day =]

so yeh.. i'll go now and uh... do stuff... yeh... >_> cyaa

ASIAN PRIDE! xD

today during our double free wendy, ellen, jj, nuz and i went to galaxy world on george street to be true asians and play DDR xD for me, it was really really fun!!! and i really want to go again sometime ^^

Nuz and i went first, but we failed in the first round >< but, not to be discouraged, we tried again and showed some improvement. ellen and i even made it through an entire game without failing =] we could totally make the DDR olympics or something haha.

there was this guy next to us who played for aaages, and he was pretty pro, but his face was dripping with sweat >_> kinda gross looking, but i guess that if you want to be a DDR master, you can't care if you produce liters of sweat for the general public to see.... heheh, anyways... all in all, a pretty satisfying double free. WENDY AND I EVEN SAW ELLEN EAT A MCDONALDS SOFT SERVE AND A MCCHICKEN BURGER O_O apparently she likes to eat mcdonalds, but still... it was pretty amazing to see her eating it. yes... a day filled with excitement and unexpected surprises... XD oh yeh, speaking of mcdonalds, the mcdonalds on george street is so cool!!! it's all fancy with fake spray painted balconies and columns and stuff... pretty classy for a mcdonalds. and it's got nice tables and benches too... yeh. you guys have probably seen it before, but i walked in and it was like.. o_O really unexpected..

hmm... so... i haven't really got any other updates that i can add... apart from the fact that todays english was really disappointing, cos i wanted extension back... and we were sitting there fully expecting to get back our papers which they've had for frickin ages, only to be disappointed. we couldn't get them back cos apparently dr. hughes was away. so stupid... and hartley gave his class back theirs by 'accident', so therefore they got to see their papers and their marks and stuff. we asked ordell if she could give us ours back by 'accident', but she wouldn't. and she wouldn't even tell us our marks -___- so therefore she spent yet another double period droning on and on in her drug induced state about nothing in particular -.-

actually, yesterday nuz and i got our names marked off and left the room with our bags while ordell was trying to get the dvd to work. we went to the library, stayed there for the whole double, and today she didn't even mention anything. and we sit in the front row, right under her nose. if she didn't notice that we were even gone, then... >_> that's just crazy. whatever. i'm not complaining that she either doesn't notice or doesn't care. it just gives me more material to work with when i'm bagging her out. sometimes you've gotta feel sorry for her, but... nyah...

so... i should really go and try to do some educational shite now, like catching up on the 6 or so exercises that i haven't done on logs, just cos logs are retarded and i hate them. so yeh... signing out!
