Right now

It's 3am and I cannot sleep because I am stressed out and worrying about life.

However it's really lovely to be inside while there are gale force winds and rain outside and I am warm under a brand new goose down duvet! Gone are the days when I would literally run in my bed to get warm (aka, six entire months of last year and a couple of this year).

Anyway I know it's not Friday today and that many peeps are sick of hearing the word at all (has Rebecca Black ruined the end of the week forevermore?) But I had to share this video. A friend posted it on face last week and I have watched it multiple times cos it's brilliant. Jules and Tone; can cover the worst song of the year. Check it out.

Giving up is hard to do.

Recently I have been struck down by horrendous headaches. Not slight aches and twinges,  but that gradually building, absolutely head splitting, "I feel like I drank 2 litres of vodka last night" POUNDING type. I wondered what may have brought this on so suddenly. I put it down to two factors. The first being work - I stare at a screen quite often on a daily basis, I'll admit, but not with the intense concentration and effort that I do when I'm working. Plus my screen is currently rooted with an ugly dark shadow over half of it (very annoying), causing strain to the eyeballs I'm sure.

And then there's the big factor - Pepsi Max. Or should I say, LACK OF.

For the last few months, there's never been a shortage of the beverage dubbed "Smax" in Lawrence Court. I pound the stuff breakfast, noon and night. I live on it. Since I began work I haven't had my usual endless supply of it. It didn't take me long to realise I am having caffeine withdrawals of a severe kind. Even as I type this now I feel hungover. I haven't had alcohol for like 2 weeks.

So I'm gonna give up Smax. It's not healthy to be so dependent on the stuff. I'm weaning myself off (had some  coffee today) but the pain remains for now!

I read something somewhere about Pepsi Max having another addictive ingredient other than caffeine? Just goog'd it quickly, couldn't find it, but if anyone knows anything about this let me know!

I've still got a bit of assignment and an exam to go. So my timing could have been better. Oh well!
I want it so bad...
PS. There's a total lunar eclipse tonight. Good motivation to stay up till 5am doing assignments. I'll post pics if I can get anything decent on the ol' iPhone cam.

It's all fun and games until...

How good is the end of this video!


PLANKING. In my opinion, it's downright hilarious.

Well, it WAS hilarious, till someone died this morning in Brisbane trying to plank the rail of a balcony on one of those high rise hotels. It was 4.30am and he was wasted.

*facepalm*

To Planking, Australia says "LOL". To Drunk Planking, Australia says "NO"!

No doubt people will be fined for planking in public from now on... fail. Poor bloke.. at least he might get a Darwin Award.

Well, it was funny while it lasted!

Gotta catch 'em all!

So on the weekend Kayla and I went to a "sidekick" themed housewarming. Here are a few photos of us as Pikachu and Tinkerbell.


Fair to say we tarnished the reputations of these characters nicely.

In other news, I just finished watching this movie: 



Serious WTFs... It could not be more obvious that this was made for teenage girls. And by Americans. Haha. Kate came off as a whiny selfish beast, which was a shame because I actually like the real Kate. (Though some moments did make me swoon... because I am a sucker for trash). 
Bring on the wedding!! (Yeah I'm excited.. what of it?)
