sleep, my dreamland awaits;

i get anxious when shops are closed - and that means specifically christmas where shops are adamantly closed for two consecutive days.

i mean what are you sposed to do on a public holiday when the shops are closed, i mean sure u can stock up the day before - but what happens when u run out of sausages, or drinks??

needless to say i was pretty much stuck in shopping centers on thursday, friday, saturday and wednesday. probably the four most busiest days in the shopping calendar and consider that shops were open till midnight.

another thing that makes me freak is lack of tv. uno if u drive 2 hrs in any direction from sydney - eveyrthing changes. tv changes. i never knew tv was so specific to local cities. its so weird, another 2 hrs and theres no such thing as water restrictions.

my christmas hasn't been so dependent on food this year as it usually is - but moreso of travelling and family, which balances out - since they make me lose my apetite. i think i saw khaled at the entrance with his family.

i also stole from the national park =O

andd for the first time i spent some holidays with a complete set of strangers that i didn't know - which i wish i could do so much often. when one of the kids annoys you - you can yell at them without getting a dirty from their parents.

uai2

Here is my mandatory uai/end of hsc post:

in 2005, seftons rank was 30somthing? 40something? - something like thtat
2004 it was 50 something ( i think)

and in 2006 , it was 50 something as well.

Im thinking; my uai estimate calculated for 2004 that i would get a uai of 96. - if we performed the same we did in 2004, then shouldn't i get that calculated uai?

yea yeah im sure there will be people going "but doesnt mean you..." or "but that means..."

but just let me dream that i got ripped off instead of actually letting myself down =)

cynical again

there is no such thing as last minute christmas shopping.

you can't call that christmas shopping.

Screaming kids, and badgered parents... at the end of each day - theres nothing left on the shelves. only rejected, broken and opened useless gifts that nobody wanted to give, not even to the worst of their relatives.

At the end of the day, with 10min to shop and hands full of bags you realise you need to cut your losses, and start again tomorrow. Yes, shopping for that one extra gift will mean that you endure another day of that

The day day after u walk in early and you're suprised - the floor is actually visible, theres no hundreds of shoes on the floor or ripped open bags of lollies and detached hampers. The shelves are restocked and last nights coke spill is gone - and the you realise that some poor bugger must have had to clean up that mess all nite.

i saw a mum who wouldn't get her kid some huge ass barbie, then the kid just started to scream out "i don't know you anymore" "i don't know you anymore". it was more between and shrill and a sob, but i couldn't tell properly because she was banging the floor with her hands.

now i know why rhodes never built target, or bigw or kmart - and only have boring specialty stores that ppl feel like are more specialised and therefore more refined and better (a la shaver shop - who really goes there to buy a shaver?). no kids, no muss no fuss. theres the occasional sticky seat from the icecream covered hands when corporate mummy and daddy can't find a baby sitter that can cook a foie gras steak for their bub.
