it has been almost a week since applications on the job i applied for and desperately want closed [well in two days it will be] and i still haven't heard. i have been chronically checking my emails and my phone for missed calls and i look like one of those desperates who went on a first date for the first time in a very long time and haven't heard back yet and are starting to think the guy was a dick and should have just lemon lawed you to save you from suffering, or someone permanently on a blind date wondering whether or not they've been stood up and trying to save face by checking their phone and thinking of excuses.
anyway, i'm going a little crazy and i can't wait for one of two things to happen. 1) i get an email/call asking me to come in for an interview and apoloigising for the delay in letting me know but they were on the phone to my referee's for ages because they both think i'm wonderful and i shouldn't even bother coming in for an interview because they already feel like they know me and therefore know that i would be perfect for the job. or 2) it becomes a week since the applications close and i can call up and ask without looking like a desperate doofus.
i really hope i hear soon, i just checked again, still nothing. gosh darn it, i really want to hear soon, i want this job more than anything in the world right now. well, a million dollars would be nice, but other than that...
i'm going to go and check again, and snoop around the site.

got the cold weather blues
seriously rain, it's spring, go away.
last night i worked early which meant i got to leave early. this made me very happy because the boy wasn't working at all because his band had a gig and that meant that we had an early night. i have missed my sleep. but i was so excited about getting home at a reasonable hour and curling up into bed that i completely flaked on the whole super wild horses last show before going to the US and i didn't go. my friday night wasn't completely band free though because howl had a secret show in acdc lane at 5, which was before i started work and meant that i was able to go. it was pretty good. short, way way way too short, but it was nice to see them again. it certainly has been a long time. and an even longer time since i saw them stone cold sober. the last couple of times were after a few stints on the bottle, and by that i mean i drank a whole bottle of wine by myself before getting on the train to go and see them. it was fun though but i am in no way condoning this kind of behaviour. i can handle my liquor in that i pretty much become uber me, dancing and singing and what have you, but i never throw up and i never pass out.
i have thrown up twice when alcohol was involved. once was because of some really really really bad food that i shouldn't have eaten but i'd already had a little vino and i didn't even think about how long those vegetables had been in my freezer and how often my freezer had over heated and gone off in that amount of time and i was so sick from said food that i was vomiting all the next day over water and simply moving, until i had some barocca and got a little better. the other time was at golden plains last year and i had had a bottle of wine and about 5 wacky tabacky ciggies over the course of the day and i think it was more a result of the latter as i have had way more wine in a far shorter span of time than that and been right as rain.
so anyway, enough of that. i really just wanted to share a picture of my old babies rocking out on the wheelie bins in acdc lane.

got the mid semester break blues
this week we have no classes at rmit, so we can catch up and get assignments done and such. i am currently in my animation class room struggling with istopmotion. this program really gives me the shits. it's so temperamental. go to hell istopmotion. anyway, i have found that, since i started my new job at an establishment which shall remain nameless for fear of being hunted down and snuffed in the middle of the night, that i have spent most of this week catching up on the sleep i miss during the weekend because my shifts are ridiculous and don't allow for much body clock adjustment, and running around after unreliable friends. seriously, dude, answer your phone, it's free. and fyi, two hours is not enough notice to give someone to meet you for dinner, particularly when said person is at uni and therefore spends a lot of time in Melbourne, and you live in melton. and when said person has a life of their own, believe it or not, and is sick of dropping everything when they hear from you for the first time in a year.
anyway, enough of that. i have applied for a job at acmi, one of my favouritest places in the whole wide world. if you knew me you'd know that to be a completely true statement as i'm pretty much there in screen worlds all the time, playing mario kart on wii or watching the short films made by school kids across the state. thems some comfy beanbags. that's why i make it my meeting place. close to flinders and comfy to wait in if the person you are meeting is running late, which is most of the time. the job is in the office and it's half days monday - friday, a decent wage, in the city and being half days is also flexible enough for a second job, comfortably. fingers and toes crossed because i really want this job.
in other news my lovely coffee buddy went for a job last week as an apprentice dental technician and she's such a genius that she got the job. i'm super duper excited for her. so if anybody out there needs some fake teeth made up from january 3rd onward, i know a girl. i had an inkling when she said she had good news, but it's always so exciting to hear stuff like that first hand. if i get this job then i am going to have three solid weeks of coffee dates letting everyone know before you hear about it. or i might crack and facebook the crap out of it. probably not though. i don't like to brag. lol.
my mums wakakirri team got into the final, the fancy final for all the best schools. i'm so excited. the music i put together for it won a gold award. go me. i'm three for three for my lighting and music for wakakirri's and rock eisteddfod's. maybe i should do that for a living. oh but wait, i can't, because the stupid government won't fund rock eisteddfod anymore and now a whole bunch of really great performing arts teachers are out of the job and a huge amount of australia's youth are down a great school experience and will have no good memories of their time at school. if one of the parties was smart they could have got themselves a lot of young voters on board if they promised to pledge $100,000 to the rock eisteddfod organisation a year to keep it going. yep, you heard right, that's all it costs and the government won't fund it. how stupid. fudge getting rid of australia's debt. every country in the world is in debt, we don't care about the debt. not a priority. also, seriously, you think you can stop the boats? other countries are always going to be shit, what with their wars and child prostitution rings and slavery. you will never stop the boats, so stop focusing on that and start bringing back rock eisteddfod. just fix the little things and make us all happy. obviously it's not as simple as this but i am still really angry about the election campaign. it was so pathetic and didn't speak to me at all. politician's are so far removed from real people that they have no idea how to woo us. this is clearly evidenced by the fact that so many new south walshmen and queenslanders voted for tony abbott. what is the world coming too.
i love looking on the sartorialist for fashion inspiration. i have so many ideas running through my head for when i get my sewing machine for my birthday. yesterday i went to my nana's to continue making my birthday dress. it is almost done and i am very excited. it's starting to look really good and i can't wait.
the other day at the boy's house we were looking at nerdy stuff on the net and came across a video of steven moffat talking about the next season of doctor who and how he wants to split it into two seasons so that their are two first episodes and two huge climaxes and there will never be more than a couple of months between seasons. i think this is genius. i'm am really missing doctor who and cannot wait for the christmas episode. but one episode isn't enough, i need more. hopefully all seasons will stay this way so that we can watch doctor who year round. so long as we can buy them together. i mean $95 is already too much to be spending on a season, but if it'll still cost that much with them half as long, i will not be happy. next season looks good though with guest writer's including neil gaiman and that guy who wrote being human. gah, i'm salivating already.
