oh god help me

Micks brother got a new toy.
I think somebody in particular really likes micks brothers new toy...

Not that he fits on it...

Although i think he might have liked th helmet more than he liked th bike.

I reckon if i tried to ride that thing id end up in hospital.
Or in a box.

Fresh fm is gay. At th moment.

I ganked this from a friends facebook picture album. I dont quite get th slogans underneath, i guess they are somebodies interpretations (points for me if i spelt that one right!) of th mr men people. I havent yet decided whether i am th big round blue dude with th bad memory, th blue ninja wannabe or th little red guy top right, 'th one who swears all th time.'
Seriously.

Im sitting in th laundry having a cigarette while playing around on my phone (this seems to be where i do most of my 'posting' lately)
Mick is playing spider solitaire on his computer in th kitchen (he so kicks my ass at that game, he got 92 moves once, i have only ever managed 96. Not happy jan)
and by th sound of it mikael is hanging over micks shoulder watching and talking his ear off.
Fresh fm is gay right now so i cant even tell you that im listening to good music. Just fixed that problem and put my phones music player on. Hurray for mobile multi-tasking!

Um. Thats it i guess.
Brain dead right now..

random uselesness

SHIT, REALLY??


things have been pretty fucked up for me th last 2 days, so im not going 2 mention ANY of it. Apart from this.

If hayleys phone exploded it would be a fucking blessing. Especially if it was right next to her head at th time.

Its beautiful weather outside, im trying to motivate myself to go for a walk to th beach. Whats my excuse afterall, its a 15min walk. Im sitting at my back door having a cigarette n writing this post. Vitamin d from sunlight, am i wrong? Probably..
I think coffee would be a fantastic idea, caffeine is always a good motivator lol

71kg. I seem to be just sitting on th fence now, not losing any, not gaining any. Sucks really, i think th only way to hit 65 will be another 2 wk fast. Which is going to be hard considering my stomach is used to eating again :(

Only half a week of school holidays left, hurray for that. Th kid has been driving me nuts, he has so much energy its crazy. Cant wait to start getting up at 7am every morning again lmao

Th turtles are doing fine, they are all growing well except quasimodo. He worrys me a little as his neck isnt as thick as th others n his shell is smaller. He doesnt move like th others either. Im wondering if hes a little retarded. Mick did have to help him out of th egg afterall. Maybe th little buggers just a 6 pack short of a carton lol

Well th kettles boiled so im off to make a cuppa :)
carpe diem!

happy easter part II?

figured i should clarify that last post a little, i read other peoples accounts of their weekends and i felt literally ashamed that i could even allow myself to be feeling like i was on such an occasion.
It really wasnt as bad as i made it seem. Did th traditional egg hunt easter sunday, with a twist, my sister has recently had surgery to remove a metal plate in her ankle - a result of a car accident - so th deal was aunty kyra came in th nite and helped easter bunny stash th eggs in th backyard. Mikael was enthralled with th idea that aunty kyra had come to help easter bunny while on a pair of crutches, so asked her on th phone later that day 'how did you put that egg in th log?' with great difficulty was her reply.
Athena has a new friend, mick brought his dog here last week and im happy to say th girls are getting along great. I think athena likes having th company and somebody to show off to.
Thats it for now, just wanted to bump that last post down a bit lol

Life is what happens while you're making other plans.

happy easter

i am in a bad mood. So im hoping by rambling on here i can distract myself from th storm brewing inside my head.

Mick took me to wallaroo last weekend. Was nice. Got heaps of photos to post here but i cant be bothered going thru th 120 photos n picking th best to post. Itll happen. Just not today.

Caught up with an old m8 over th wknd, havent seen simo in about just over a year i reckon. Was really good to see him n his daughter, his little girl is th same age as mikael n they get along gr8 so it was cool that they got to hang out a bit after not seeing each other for so long.

Its easter monday, 10am n im still laying in bed wondering what i should do today. Lazy hey. Got up earlier n made kaels breakfast then went straight back to bed. Doing well!

I still feel like shit. This hasnt worked at all.

My car is fkd again. After i posted that last car whinge my heater coil shit itself n is leaking water n coolant inside my dash.

Its not funny and somebody up there fucking hates me.

So i can either fork out ANOTHER $600 to fix it, or i could get someone to bypass th heater coil out of th cooling system completely by joining 2 hoses. Its that easy.
It just means getting in my car in th mornings when its cold is going to be hell.
My car is turning into a bucket.

Apart from that, am definately realising that life is actually pretty hard, especially when your boyfriend (or ex should i say) isnt handing you $500 odd a week so you can put it towards th house n 'do what you see fit with it.' (i didnt ask for it to be that way, its just how it was. And i got used to it hardcore. Be self reliant people. Thats my advice. Then it isnt so much a shock when you have to actually do something by yourself!)

Caught up with another good m8 i havent seen in ages, i finally got hold of th colonel. Elusive white rabbit he turned out to be. He said he was quite impressed with my secret stealth spy skills in tracking him down.
Points for me.

Anyway, have a good day whoevers reading this :)
Carpe diem!

blown mufflers, fkd up cooling systems n fuel leaks.

anybody wanna buy a vn?


^Kael n me waiting at th radiator place th second time^

Well i re-read th post be4 this one and got slightly annoyed.
$350 - $400? I fn wish.
Th exhaust place cost me $120. I spent $210 on th cooling system that said monday, only to get th car back still overheating like a dying horse. Not happy jan.
I then got advised to take her into a radiator specialist to get it flushed, which i did, which cost me another $150. Only to get th car back STILL OVERHEATING. Now all this time i was asking for th water pump to be checked, as everything else bar th radiator blockage had already been checked or replaced since xmas. Both mechanics told me 'nah they arent waterpump symptoms, no point'
So after spending $360 dollars in one day at 2 different places over th same fn problem i had had enough.
I pretty much stormed back into th radiator place and said 'th problem still isnt fixed. I have spent alot of money. I cant afford it but it looks like i have to spend more money, PLEASE CHECK MY WATERPUMP.
So they book me in, to cut a long story short, they took off th waterpump, saw it was fine, showed me it was fine and put it back on. Because they felt sorry for me they didnt charge me for th work (kind of them tho i would have been pretty pissed if they DID charge me) and told me to take it to somebody else who had a computer reader that would tell us exactly what was wrong with it. So miraculously on my way to th mechanic, no heating problems. Fine. Car back to normal n running sweet. I took it to th guy i was recommended to take it to neway n he hooked her up to th reader n she was fine. Idling at 103c running at 92c. Drove her round for half an hour hooked up, and still fine.
So i am not a mechanic but my original theory seems to stick.
Back in december we blew a heater hose joiner while out fishing. It was one massive head fuck and if u can be bothered check th archives for a title, something about plastic joiners n heater hoses.
Aaaanyway.. My theory is that a piece of this old plastic joiner broke off n didnt get taken out of th block when we replaced th joiner. It had worked its way thru th cooling system and had somehow wedged into th waterpump ridges preventing it turning as smoothly. Maybe even stopping it completely, because watching ur temperature guage go from a line above cold to a line under hot in 5th gear at 120km per hour on th highway just isnt normal people.
So thats my theory and with all th evidence gathered, thats th only theory i can come up with :)
