I am moving this page and the splash page to a shorter url tomorrow probably. I registered https://www.angelfire.com/blog/nat recently so it will probably be some variation of that. The splash page I may also shorten. Tossing up between moving it from Brinkster and just having them both on Angelfire but Angelfire sucks because of the banner ads and such which Brinkster doesn't have. Only problem Brinkster doesn't have ftp access with it's free accounts which I need for my blog updates.
I went to the football tonight. The Roosters won 20 to 16, this game was a killer. They played the Raiders at the SFS (Sydney Football Stadium) and it was so close it came down to one try at the end. The Roosters we behind but it was a great finish or course I can say that because my team won :) The atmosphere was like it was a final, the crowd loved it.
Man there are some weirdo's on the train at night... Friday night = stupid drunk people night. Apparently some guy puked at the other end of our carriage near the doors and some people had a domestic as well, agh. That was actually tame compared to past experiences on the New South Wales rail system. Thursday on the way home from Uni waiting at the station some guy was laying down on the ground drunk and he had a boom box which he proceeded to play some really loud music, the song I didn't know the name of but was quite catchy. Everyone waiting on the other platform was just staring across at him, he was with friends that were also drunk. One triped up the stairs onto the landing dropping his stuff everywhere but instead of getting up he just stayed there. Then the boom box guy started to sit with his feet dangling over the side of the platform just begging for a train to come by and chop them off. The guys that work there finally told him to get up (sometimes you can't tell people actually work at these stations, they avoid conflict at all costs) but he was so out of it one of his friends had to drag him up.
My sister is so frustrating she is always trying to start fights with me. It is fucking annoying I am so damn sick of her, she is such a goddamn princess. I am going to keep a track on my blog of how many times we have a fight this coming week... should be interesting. She is tired and grumpy all of the time and now she is PMS-ing, so that is fun.
Someone hacked into the system we use called Blackboard at uni for online learning. They added people into the nursing course on Blackboard (this doesn't effect our actual enrollment), so I was added and I could read the discussion board and they posted this first-
'Please join me in celebrating our triumphant attack upon the nursing faculty. the time we have all been waiting for IS NOW. the most powerful empire in the university of newcastle is embarking on a new era. we have overpowered the meagre defences and are firmly entrenched in nursing. It is fitting that this should occur on the eve of autonomy day, so let us all join together in celebration of our domination of the campus.
ALL HAIL ENGINEERS
your leader
field left blank.
ps please enjoy our victory song(see attachment)'
Don't ask me what was in the attachment, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole though I am sure some moron opened it.
This is the reply someone wrote-
'Why are engineering students i this list when this discussion board is predominately by us 3rd year nursing students?
Krissy'
Fucking idiot.
They also wrote this which was kind of funny considering this board is dead serious-
'Hi, my name is jim. I am 20 years old. I am 6 foot tall and i have blond hair and blue eyes. I enjoy warm afternoons, rainy nights in front of the fire place, and walking along the beach hand in hand. Im looking for a lovely young lady between the ages of 18-23. I look forward to your reply. ;)'
The reply-
'black nalu,
you're just what i am looking for!
cafeteria at 8?'
Before I go, I want you to take this quiz. It is all 80's trivia, television, news, movies, music... You will appreciate it more if you are a child of the 80's like myself :) My result 69-89.
Good Night :)
P.S. See my little blog chalk down the side at the bottom where the sun is? Aint' it cute ;)

New entry, while I'm waiting for Freaks and Geeks to come on :) :)
Nothing much is happening I guess. I have been thrown in the deep end with plenty of Uni work to keep me busy for the next 6 months.
Starting a new semester is unsettling in a way... new teachers, tutorials, deadlines, etc. Got to get all settled in again, a bit like a new year of high school accept it happens more often.
Cyberculture is turning out to be great. We have our discussions online on a board so I am in my element. I feel really comfortable and I can say what I want to unlike with tutorial groups I feel uncomfortable. I hate calling out and volunteering information in front of strangers I just never get used to it. You go through high school and the whole time you are told to put your hand up if you want to speak, do this, do that... at uni they actually 'want you' to say what's on your mind and you get marked on it, yay (insert sarcasm here).
One of my lecturers this semester is kind of intimidating as well.
I got an email back from my lecturer that failed to turn up to class last week:-
"In the course guide there is a notice at the front informing you that lectures do not start until week 2 and tutorials commence in week 3. I am overseas at a conference which is why there are no classes in the first week.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'd hoped people would get the course guide before turning up for the first lecture."
Ha ha, funny seeing we never get the course guide until in class in the first week... what does she think the class is psychic or something. Maybe the history department operates differently to the behavioural sciences department :D Asking someone she works with to put a notice on the door of the lecture theatre would have been helpful!
Otherwise things are going okay overall... I have tomorrow off :)
I added a comment section to this blog. More for my own benefit, because I really wanted to have one like all those Moveable Type people. But I have revealed this page to hardly anyone and the people that know about it are unlikely to comment so basically it is effectively a useless function. Oh well :)

I have yet to blog about The Fight, which is partially why I haven't been blogging up until today. Last Saturday I had a fight with every one of my immediate family members, go me. My sister and I were tired, she had worked till 12:30 the night before and I stayed up trying to finish watching those movies I mentioned prior.
It is strange how one little thing can become a catalyst for the events that follow... the catalyst being that it was 8:30 am and my father started playing his music. The room with his CD player in it just happens to be situated behind my bedroom (lucky me) and I sware that he is deaf as he plays his music up so fucking loud, it is torture. On this fine morning he decides a mix between Pink Floyd, various artists and their interpretations of Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven and the Notting Hill soundtrack would make a delightful mix. He does shit like this all the time, he doesn't care if people are sleeping because it is his house he believes it is his right. Maybe it is, but like I care when it is 8:30 in the am. Well of course I complained to my mother because that's just what I do, you know. My sister had been lying awake also but didn't bother to say anything until I did. My mum got the shits as per usual, she turned it down even though she hates getting my dad offside but she didn't turn it down low enough so my sister and I just got up and proceeded to conduct a bitch session about it to each other.
The events that followed I blame on this because; well I can. My sister well she is not a morning person, she decided to have a go at me about the washing, she had, previously had a mark on her clothes from the soap powder, her clothes were fine now mind you. I can't stand it because she doesn't do anything around the house and she was saying this stuff and my reaction is that she should wash it herself then. She gets angry then says that she doesn't want to go out anymore, we had made plans... and makes another nasty comment. I got really upset, told her to leave me alone. Went away (she was in my room, mind you), my mum asked me what was wrong so I told her and it escalated. I went to my room my sister followed me back in to mouth off some more so I kept telling her to get out and she wouldn't, anyway we ended up yelling at each other and I screamed at her to fuck off. Would you like to meet some prissy parents? Come and meet mine, they are the worst. They can't stand confrontations and they especially can't stand swearing... my mum freaks at me, my dad hears so he comes to level in, be the big macho man. He starts yelling at me (He is fucking scary, I am telling you) like I did the worst thing in the world. He is like 'Don't you swear in my house' , and he starts to rush at me only my mum is there to close the door, so I shout back 'Shove it up your ass'. Then my mum starts to flip at me so I scream at her... anyway she ends up telling me I should go stay at my Nan's for the weekend as we were having visitors staying over the weekend and she didn't want me moping around and I couldn't pack my bag soon enough... I wanted out.
It turned out to be for the best, I didn't want to be stuck in the house with them here, they are their friends not mine. I had a peaceful weekend and a much needed break and my Nan was a sweetheart she looked after me even though I was a depresso. Took my mind off things... she even made me lunch in a paper bag and slipped me $20 :)

So okay an entry... hmm where do I start. It has been awhile since my last post.
Last week rented some movies:-
Amelie
Mulholland Drive
Natural Born Killers
Trainspotting
The Last Time I Committed Suicide
The Godfather
Reservoir Dogs
Run Lola Run
The Big Lewbowski
and Vertigo.
I watched all of them but ran out of time to watch The Godfather maybe next time and I can get the whole trilogy and watch it back to back. Amelie what an adorable movie... loved it! Mulholand Drive was also good, spent some time going over the plot though trying to make sense of it all, but Lynch has said that it is not meant to be rationalised, it is what it is. If you want to put it into a context I believe this theory is a good one but everyone is different. I have seen Vertigo and Trainspotting before, I realised... I guess I needed a refresher. Anyway all the films were good, I am too lazy to blog on them all at the moment. Never even got round to talking about Adaptation and Bowling for Columbine :( Rent, rent, rent!!!
Okay I'll stop talking about movies for a second. Didn't go out tonight... was meant to go out with Ms White (I decide to give everyone code names based on the film Reservoir Dogs, It feels less mean to bitch about people in code) but she pulled out cause she had a blind date and a 40th Birthday tomorrow (yeah she is only 21, but you never know maybe she can pick up there). So normally I wouldn't care but she did the same thing last week and on both occasions it had been her idea to do something in the first place. I hate being her back up if something else falls through. She messaged me last week saying that she couldn't go because she had to go perve on a Rugby Union team and didn't know how long it would take. WTF do I care... she has to let everyone know that she is horny. Anyway I was pissy so I sent a message back saying, 'I don't care. It is just that you asked me in the first place. Have fun'. Think she'll get the picture? Haven't even checked my phone since, I don't care... I hate mobile phone's, shitty fucking invention.
Just saw an ad on TV, Marilyn Manson is playing in Newcastle soon. I wouldn't mind going but I think the fans that show up might intimidate me just a little. I wouldn't know what to wear... On the other end of the spectrum, I am going to try and see Ben Lee at The Metro, have to buy tickets soon though.
I am back to Uni this week. Oh the joy of it :) I get to start all over again with a new timetable, classes, books to read and essays to write. Yay... Surely I didn't sign up for this shit, oh yes I did. At least I have a lecturer from last semester, again this semester, he was a cool guy, really laid back. This other lady seems like a real bitch though, a born task master. Am I scared? Yes, yes I am. On Thursday I went to one class, Heresy and Witchcraft and the teacher didn't bother showing up... the class started leaving after half an hour, god knows what happened to her.
I am so broke this week, I have to buy a text book still on Monday :( :( AHHHHH! At least one of my classes is online! Cool huh, I am loving it, so easy to participate in discussions and stuff, I feel liberated... I am finally in my element. It is called Cyberculture and it is fun, everything I need is online. I wish all my classes were like this *sigh*.
I am reading The Shining at the moment. I luv the movie so I figured why not read the book. I went into the Uni second hand book shop looking for a text book but ended up looking at the novels and I saw a whole heap of Stephen King books on sale and thought 'wow maybe they have The Shining' and yes they did. Just my luck... it is kinda crappy looking but it was only six dollars, probably still more than it is worth but anyways. I needed something to read, it was that or kill someone, so it worked out for the best.
I haven't mentioned yet but I got my exam results back and I got a credit and a Distinction, so that was alright :)

I brought The Royal Tenenbaums yesterday from BigW. It was about 6 or 7 dollars cheaper than in HMV. They finally released it here in all the stores so when I saw it I was just too tempted to buy it. Donnie Darko was there also, so I had to make a decision between the two but Tenebaums won out as it is my favourite out of the two.
I love it... the set design, photography and not to mention the costumes and props. It is awesome! Oh, and the Wilson Brothers and Ben Stiller too :)
I've looked through all the special features and am watching the movie again at the moment. There isn't an audio commentary though, so that makes me sad! But there was this doco on Wes Anderson making the film which was good. The special features weren't bad for region 4.
I went to the movies and saw Bruce Almighty- there wasn't anything much on at the moment and I had free tickets so I went. We'd been shopping so we were there and everything. It was pretty poor... not my usual kind of movie, I wouldn't have seen it if I had more options but anyway what can I say... It didn't help much that Jennifer Aniston was in it. For some reason I can't stand her. The laughs were really cheap laughs at that and most people in the cinema weren't really laughing much either.
I also brought this pretty little box with flowers on the top (looks better than it sounds) it is made out of what I think is white soapstone, so it is prone to scratches it seems. It was only $2 though from this hippy shop that I love so that was cool and I got this Moroccan glass for $5 (it was on sale too) from David Jones. I love Moroccan glasses... you serve mint tea and things in them but I'm using mine as a candle holder. It is clear with gold and pink detail.
Felicity and I brought some soy choc chip ice-cream in waffle cones. I'm not a big ice cream person though, actually I don't like it to much but it wasn't bad. Some rude lady tried to push in the line and I was like no fucking way. I didn't let her... fuck I hate that.
I got my essay and exam back for film I didn't do particularly well but I'm not going to dwell on it... don't get me wrong I passed and everything. Final results are out next week or something... can't wait (insert sarcasm here).

Ah, that reminds me I rented Bowling for Columbine and Adaptation the other day.

I was watching a repeat of The X-Files episode Detour yesterday actually two days ago now as it is early morning. It wasn't a bad episode either. It is the one loosely based on Mothman, Mulder makes reference to Point Pleasant.
It is set deep in the forest and there are these 'ancient creatures' or 'people gone bad' that run around the forest camouflaged. The story goes that they started to blend into their surroundings and have basically become invisible to those that enter the forest. Their aim is to protect it so they do anything they have to, to preserve it including kill everyone! They are smart too, they split the group apart and they attack the leader first and they have these rocking red eyes, hence the Mothman reference :)
Ah, I miss The X-Files!
Just felt like blogging about it because I have something in common with them... Mulder tracked their footprints and they walk on the balls of their feet, which is what I always do (not all the time of course).
Yes, what a freak :)

Went to the football on the weekend.
The Roosters played the Rabbitohs. We won of course, I think it was 38 to 16? Hmm, can't remember what the Rabbits got for sure but anyway you get the picture, the Rabbitohs got kicked.
Rabbitohs, did I spell that right? It looks wrong for some reason... maybe because it is just such a bizarre word...
I went with Mel and Felicity. We went to Market City in Chinatown before hand and had some lunch/dinner. I got to have my tofu, Chinese mushrooms and vegetable hotpot, which is yum and a Pina Colada. Mel and I also had a rainbow flavoured Snow Cone, which wasn't as nice as it may sound.
We look briefly around the shops but of course I am poor at the moment so I couldn't really buy anything and looking when you are strapped for cash is quite painful. I already had my hair done that morning- a cut and some foils and that cost $80 something dollars (strangely this cost magically alters everytime I go even though I always get the same thing).
I hate going to the hairdressers... trying to make small talk is so taxing. I prefer to just get in and then out. I don't think I have anything in common with any of the hairdressers there. It just serves to make me feel more uncomfortable. It is not like I can talk about my kids... I don't have any.
Anyway back to what I was talking about. Hanging out with Mel is always an experience... she has become even more crazy. It becomes almost like a non-stop laugh fest though you feel like you have to laugh even if you don't really think its funny. The more time we spend together the more I realise we aren't much alike but that doesn't mean I don't like spending time with her- she just has a one track mind, once fuelled with alcohol is unstoppable.
On the train up there was this strange guy reading the bible out loud in a white skivvy and white tracksuit pants. I had to poke Mel to stop her looking. Just thought I'd add that, um... oh and after the game we went to Hungry Jacks to get a burger... I got one with just salad, and we were waiting in the line and this woman asked for some money... I forget the sum. So I gave her a bit and my friend did too, we actually gave her more than she asked for and then she turns around, doesn't say anything to us, not even thanks but then she turns around and asks for some more. Mel and I were like noooooo. I didn't mind but Mel (who is a smoker herself) was like, 'did you see her pack of smokes, if she wants to but fast food she shouldn't be buying cigarettes'. I don't know... that's her opinion I guess, I'll leave it at that.
When we got back home we went out to the club and had a few drinks, Felicity drove. I kind of hate that place, you always bump into people you went to high school with, which in my opinion is not a good thing. I'm a fan of moving on, I think so much so that when I finish Uni I'm outta this town. As much as I don't mind the area, it is just annoying when there are only a few places you can go to have a drink. There are so many places in this world it is amazing the amount of people that stay in the same area.
Mel invited me to see one of those 'manpower' type shows where men parade around on stage half naked and the women are meant to get drunk and dance around with their tongue's hanging out of their mouth's and jump up and down in a strange fit of madness because they are actually out of the house for a night away from their husbands. I think I might decline... not really my style.
