I quit my job! Screw you, management that doesn't care to take care of it's staff. You're not worth it. I will miss (nearly) everyone tho :( I don't think I'll ever work with such an awesome group of kids. I have like 200 hours of special and holiday leave owing, so I'm fine.
I played with giant sea turtles! They buried me, pushed me down sand dunes, slapped me with their half a metre long flippers, and hissed. They were gorgeous, enormous, dinosaurs, and I hope that all their eggs hatch safely.
I'm *hopefully* going to Melbs to do some modelling work! And see Jess and Steph! Woooooot. Girls. Yay!
So starting Monday I shall be a partial lady of leisure. Going to try to pick up some casual shifts at a shelter, and get finally totally sorted out for Peru trip. And clean the house. And get some gardn shiz happening. And move my bike and get a lesson or two in. And go out dancing. And save the world.
The end. What's up with you kids?

dear life. i miss you. where did you go? sometime amongst the 70 hour weeks i've been pulling, you've faded away. i don't know who my friends are dating or where they live anymore. my money's syphoned into invisible sections of adobe documents, and my plane tickets haven't arrived. my phonebook is incorrect and my profile picture needs updating. clothes are out of season. someone turned the page when i wasn't looking and i think they skipped a whole chapter of observations.
at least my clothes are dry.

waaaaaaaaaaaaah. everything i need costs money. for peru i need immunisations, hiking boots, to post some medical supplies, accomodation money while i'm not at the clinic, 2 plane tickets still, and spending money. for here i need a new motorbike battery, a few things fixing on my car, a couch, a fridge with a freezer, a new wireless router and possibly modem. oh and don't forget the 4 grand credit card debt that came from peru plane tickets and fixing the motorbike. and the 700 ish i still owe to my friend for it. and the 1400 i still owe my parents for the car i keep trying to crash.
raaaaaaaaaaaaaah. and everything i want costs money. i want my tongue resplit, 3 new piercings, some summer clothes (most of mine are covered in red dirt), some pot plants so my house is less hideous out the front, and some kitchen things like more muffin trays and a blender.
can't also forget that as soon as i return from peru i will need to (hopefully) enrol in uni and pay fees and buy books, and (definitely) pay for 3 x suzi q tattoo appts. hope i don't have any important classes on friday cos i'm going to have to skip 3 out of 6 of them for the first 6 weeks and i am SO NOT giving up appts i booked 13 months in advance.
grrr. i really want those people to call me back about that lovely cash cash cash work. i could blow away a lot of these things with that.

It's been so long since I did a quiz/survey. Remember those ones with the lil pictures, you could make up your own quiz too? Man I used to do so many of those.
So here's a text survey I ganked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cupcakesncandy ( ... )

Burial - Etched Headplate |
] |
edit: entry now revised with much smaller and loading friendlier turtle image. tho less cute "i'm busy digging here bitch!" feel to this one.
Driving home today I came up with multiple effbook and twooter updateys. I realised I wanted to post them all. Then I remembered this historic piece of technology called... a livejournal!!! So here I am.
I have only just (bad janey) realised that my favourite lollies aren't vegan. This makes me very sad. So I am eating my last bag of roc candy. Stupid beeswax. I think the sugar free kind are beeswax free, but it has a warning about eating too many causing a laxative effect... and I can never eat only a few roc candies. So. Adieu! My dentist will thank me I'm sure.
Booked and paid for 1/3 of my Peru trip. Slightly terrified. Lucky I got that credit card recently eh?! Hopefully don't max it out within the first month of usage. Got travel insurance, which is good. Some lil stop overs in Sydney where I will harass people to come and entertain me, or possibly go out for dinner? And I have an almost 24 hour stop over in Buenos Aires on the way back. I arrive at like 3am and leave 2am the next day, so I'm tossing up two options: find a hotel at the airport I can check into, attempt to sleep, and then get back on another plane, or dump bags into a locker and take a daytrip into Buenos Aires. I also have extra days on either side of my actual volunteer work, where I can do what I want. If I manage to win lotto or magically save some more money, I'm thinking of looking up some internet kids and asking them to show me the sights. Got two beautiful friends in Venezuela I'd love to see, so if I can get some wonderful flight to them, maybe I can have some party times! I'll be there for New Years, so that will be exciting.
I'll be doing volunteer vet nursing work for 2 weeks with Amazon CARES. This is the kind of work that makes my heart leap, and I realise that it is the cause I am the most passionate about. I have to pursue it!
I've gone on lots of trips on my own before, but this will be the biggest! Everybody hope that the druglords from Colombia don't kidnap me. I'm insured for it at least. But seriously, I'll be living in a jungle hut not very far from the border. Must make self look as poor and/or gangsta as possible.
Also going up north again, near Broome, to do some big flatback turtle volunteer work with Conservation Volunteers Australia. Romy (nurse friend from work, super awesome) and I will be staying in a RESORT, complete with cocktail bar and pool overflowing into the ocean or something pretty like that. And at nights we'll be patrolling the beach counting nests and eggs and doing dna sampling of the turtles. Wheee!!!
Am happily retiring to hermitage for pretty much ever. I have 3 gigs left to go to this year; nofx, dempsey, lowfi, and no great urge to go to any others (small dnb dubstep etc things excepted), for the rest of the year. Unless No Doubt should decide to tour. I will probably get my soundwave ticket sometime soon. I am cutting down on the wkender chemical intake, and my body is happy for it. Looking at small houses/villas/flats to rent next year for imminent studenthood. Gulp.
Wanting to start growing tomatoes and capsicum in the backyard in large pots of volcanic rock.
Going to pick up newly fixed motorbike sometime soon, with the help of Mr Madd. With all the broken bits replaced, that pesky loud noise gone, and some shiny new tyres and brake pads, she should be happy with me. Helmet should be getting here soon and then I can book some lessons and be hooning around in no time. Her name was Lucille, but I'm thinking of changing it to Sofia.
Sooo.... what do you thinks?

Familjen - Nu Händer Det Igen |
] |
Life is a bit crazy lately, which is nothing new... but I've been wishing I could say some things about it. I've been tossing up getting a new lj and not telling anyone I know, so I can just rant and rave and not offend anyone... but I do like getting comments and advice and interaction. So I guess I'll just try to be nice, and when I need to rant I'll be nice and vague and you can all just guess who I'm complaining about :)
New house is going pretty well, ironing out some random problems and faults and what the fuck is that smell, things. Haven't lived with this many people in a long time, but it's really only 2 of us that are ever home, and the house is so huge we only see each other occasionally. It's great to be so close to the boy's place, and to have enough space to spread my shit out a bit. Me being the anal female that I am, and being the one that actually uses the laundry kitchen front yard back yard... I do a lot. But that doesn't bother me too much, so long as people don't use my shit and then leave it lying around dirty.
Am slowly becoming more of a grown on her own person. I couldn't move back in with my parents even if I wanted to, because someone else lives in my rooms now. I can sleep there sometimes, but there is no room for my shit, and I definitely couldn't live there. Not having that safety net is weird! I'm buying a motorbike, and it will be registered in my name, which my car isn't even yet. Spooky. I applied for a credit card. I applied for uni. I sorted the internet for this house and it's all in my name. I'm attempting to do my tax online. I'm getting a new GP, near my actual house as opposed to the same lady who sewed my leg up when I was 7 and works near my parents. Except that she doesn't anymore, we found out that she has cancer and had to retire :( That is really sad, because she's a freaking awesome lady.
I am looking after another lil lost animal... strays hit by cars with munted legs seem to be my theme. Her name is Ewok, because when she came in at 4am nearly 3 weeks ago she was all wrapped up in a mattress protector by the lovely guy who found her, and her fur was all over the place and she looked just like an ewok. She has since had all her matts and prickles cut out, her face trimmed so she is a lil more like a chewbacca.. but she's still my lil ewok, miss moppet, 3 legged fur baby. Her pelvis is broken, she should have surgery but I don't have 6 grand for a stray dog, so she's with me on cage rest and pain relief and will hopefully heal up ok. She's hooning around happily on 3 legs and we will soon rexray her one leg and her pelvis to check how it's all going. She's so sweet, mostly very quiet except when I leave the room and she whinges a bit. She's much better behaved than Bart, altho not as good at following me everywhere, she is very timid.
Finally uploaded a lot, but not quite all, of my photos from my trip in may. Hit up my fbook for thems.
Well I suppose I should put on clothes and go do a few things before nightshift. Blaaaahhh. Boring.
If anyone can suggest a career that is interesting challenging but not stressful... that would be RAD.

| URGENT: Cute kitty needs a home |
[25 Apr 2009|04:24pm] |
Theresa is looking for a new home.
She is an approximately 6 month old small tabby and torti kitten. She came into our vet clinic as an injured stray found on the road, probably hit by a car, in a small cardboard box. Her tongue was stuck to her bottom teeth where she had probably bitten it on being hit by the car. Her left leg was unable to support weight and she was weak, though still very affectionate. With pain relief and lots of rest and good food, her tongue and leg are now fully recovered.
Now speyed, vaccinated (needs a booster in a month, already paid for), flea + worm treated, microchipped, she is ready for re-homing. She comes with a bag of kitten biscuits, some wet kitten food, a litter tray and litter, some toys, another 5 months of Revolution, and a collar. She is very affectionate and loves to be picked up and cuddled, to sit in the sunshine in the window, or to play with her mouse toy. She is talkative and would best be suited to an indoor life (she has zero road sense and wants to hunt birds). We are not sure how she gets along with other animals yet as she has not met any others close up.
If you think you'd like to adopt Theresa, please contact me on (oh four oh nine, four five nine, six four one). I go away for a month this sunday may 3rd, so even if someone could just look after her for a month, that would be great. Since there is a time limit I am not worrying about getting back the $ I have spent on her so far - so there is no adoption fee.
Photos can be found on my facebook album for her here or I can sms you some more.
Please feel free to pass on my number and details about this to anyone you know. She will alas be going to the Cat Haven if I can't find someone to take her before I leave. The Cat Haven is great, but they are full, so she won't have much of a chance.

so it's 3.22am at work and these overnight shifts seem to be the only time i take to read lj. but i'm not going to get myself into a knot about it, i just have rearranged priorities, and blogging is not the way i find out what my friends are up to anymore. i have noticed a similar shift with a lot of people. and i'm ok with it.
but i shall do an update anyway, because i haven't in ages and since i like sporadically reading about what my non irl friends are doing it's only fair to let them know about my activities too.
( work, love, family, friends, other.. )
so mostly all things cruising along nicely. am getting towards accomplishing some of my 'goals' for this year which were - get private health insurance (done), get credit card account (in process of), pay off car and laptop (slowly happening), sort out overseas work (ok really need to start on that!).
so tell me of your happenings.

This is Bart.
He is an approx 6 month old Kelpie X, now castrated, vaccinated and microchipped.
He was a stray dog hit by a car a month ago, who I adopted and looked after until all his wounds healed (you can see the scars forming in this picture, and the hair starting to grow back). He is now looking for a permanent home, as alas I don't have the space or time for such an active dog.
( More pictures and information )
If you or anyone you know would be interested in making Bart part of your family for the rest of his life, please contact me. janey at iinet.net.au . His details are also up on my facebook, and on the petrescue.com.au site, thanks to SAFE perth.

[08 Jan 2009|12:38pm] |
i'm a bad bad person who doesn't check her livejournal very often. i check my facebook and email a little more regularly. but you are best to get me on my mobile phone if you really want to invite me to a party, tell me you're knocked up, or ask for help with something.
but since all you people who are reading this still check lj, i shall ask for your help.
I am looking at getting a credit card soon. ( because )
So! Especially aussies, please tell me what your experiences have been with credit cards.

things are pretty sweet. life is progressing well... i am not looking too far into the future, but enough to make plans of relative scope.
someone asked me if i could have anything in the world what would it be. i answered, a jet plane so i could see my friends whenever i want. and it's true. of course fame fortune blah de blah would be fun, but truly, everything is going well. i just miss that i can't see certain friends very often.
come dance with me.

Two awesome things in my life right now.
I am in lurrrrrrrrve with this fellow:
His name is Ronan and he is a character on Stargate Atlantis... played by Jason Momoa. Who is less hot when not dressed as Ronan. He makes me squishy in the pants region. Woah boy. Buff and tattooed and minimal speaking but lots of saving pretty girls (like Jewel Staite's character) from monsters. Yep. My uterus is ready for his babies.
And dancing all over the sunny place to this awesome swedish artist called Familjen:
Familjen is Johan T Karlsson. He sings in Swedish, or Scanian which is a specific dialect. I loves it. It reminds me of Dina.
Not to mention, sunshine, two days off, awesome music to be dancings to, magical visitor from Melbum, cute boy coming to my house, plans progressing...
Keep Sunday December 14th free for SuspendoFest3000!!!! re, my suspension event at the bakery.
P.S. here are some work photos, cute puppy included: ( cast removal and a pirate )
