kittymenace's blog: "Just stuff"

well, back to good old blogging again... Last weekend we moved house (finally) we're now living in Tullamarine, right near the main airport, and funnily enough, the planes dont sound any louder here than where we were before, which was a lot further away from the airport.... But anyway... we signed the lease on Saturday, and we got a bulk of things over (not including funiture yet) I had to break up a fight between my cat and the neighbours cat (old house) and when I picked spider up, he bit me on the wrist, broke the skin and went right down to the bone... so heres me on our moving weekend with an infected wrist that I can barely move, wrapped up in bandages and a sulky cat who decided to hide under the airbed we had set up when we bought both of the cats over to the new house... but thats not the worst of it... of course he had to do this just before we got the trailer to move the stuff over... so heres me with an infected wrist that I cant move, trying to help mike move the fridge and washing machine and waterbed and all the rest of the *really* heavy stuff, and ending up almost breaking said wrist and also my toes when I dropped things on them... why me???? and to top it all off, we had the hottest november weekend on record... only one up from the last time we moved because this time we had the electricity put on *before* we moved in... not that this helped when we were actually moving, but it helped when we sat down for a few minutes because we had the fan at least :) We now have the bulk of the stuff moved in... *but* and of course theres a but... we went to have a shower saturday night.. and guess what? the shower head wasnt giving us any cold water... so we gave up on that and filled the bath instead... had to call the real estate to get the plumber... then we found out that the missing tiles in the bathroom hadnt been pulled off... they're just randomly falling off the wall... along with the shower screen which has come apart from the wall... and if thats not enough??? our electricity is screwed... if we turn the stove top on, the lights flicker, the oven doesnt work.. and to use the microwave without it sounding like its going to blow up, we have to turn off all but a couple of the lights... so once again back to the real estate agent to fill in a maintenance request... a few hours later I get a call from our agent saying they'll do what they can, but the bond from the previous tenants is almost gone, so technically, they'll do what they can up until the money runs out, then its up to the landlord... apart from that, its a nice house, just a little old, we've been told we can repaint it, if we do a good job (the last tenants botched the job completely) Im pulling up the laminate in the kitchen cupboards because they were manky beyond belief... so Im pulling up the laminate, and I find paper stuck to the wood on the shelves, I then have to soak the paper, wait for it to soak in, get my trusty scraper and get most of it off... then sand the shelves to get rid of any paper or paperglue residue, then wipe it down with methalated spirits to make sure the wood doesnt swell... at this point Im glad I've been working on refinishing the piano.. its given me the tools and experience I need to do the kitchen cupboards... its taking a while to do tho, Im only getting a chance to do it in the mornings before work (when Im not catering to the visits of the plumber the electrician and the tiler lol )Im hoping to be done by the weekend so I can unpack the kitchen stuff, also because we're repainting the main bedroom this weekend so we can get the waterbed set up... the matress we're sleeping on at the moment is doing my back in.... but enough of by bitching.. at least the floors and the walls are straight, and theres only one set of louvre's, so I dont have wind whistling through the house at all hours... and the blinds block out 50 to 70% of the sunlight, which is great for summer because the house stays dark and cool... and we had a visitor last night... a little tabby cat turned up on our back step (much to the chagrain of my two cats) so we went out there and gave him a little food, and in return he let us pick him up and pat him and he was purring and left claw marks in my arm where he was flexing his claws... but he was absolutely gorgeous :D And another couple of good things, we now have a bath (woot) a shower I dont hit my elbows on the walls in, a dining area so we're not squeezing around the dining table in the kitchen, a garage (somewhere to park the patrol and so mike has an area to work on his models in) a spare room, so now we have somewhere to put the extra furniture.. it has a back porch, somewhere we can put our outdoor setting.. and a great spot at the end of the driveway that lets us park two cars side by side, so now we're not blocking each other in the driveway anymore... I love it!! lol ok... since its late, and I have to get up early, and do some washing, and drying, and besides that, all this typing is killing my wrist... I think Im going to head off to bed... nuhnight everyone :)

You Are Seductive Flirt

Smoldering hot, you don't really flirt. You seduce. For you, flirting is just foreplay. You don't flirt unless it's going somewhere. You have one goal in mind when you flirt... And you usually get it!

You know I was sitting back the other day thinking... and I think that most people that look at my profiles or yada yada so on... know basically next to nothing about me... so I thought Id do a sort of blog personality profile on myself... here goes... I was born in Toowoomba, Queensland in australia on the bright old day of jan 30th in the year 1985 (january thirtieth should be made into a public holiday!) I was a babbly little brat (in a nice way) pretty much all through my childhood.... big blue eyes went a long way in helping wrap people around my little pinky... my parents split up when I was 6 months old... then they both remarried (other people) and I lived with my dad for most of my younger years before starting the journey that affects all divorcee children... yes.. the moving between parents/relatives/complete strangers.... I actually only started that after my dad remarried for the second time and I developed a passionate hatred for my 2nd stepmom... and incidentally my 2nd stepdad at the same time... so I jumped between my dad and my mum until my dad threw a hissy fit and sent me to live with my grandmother (actually I think it was more that I wrote in my diary that I was going to run away to her and my dad read my diary.... what happened to privacy people?????!!!) at that point, I sort of knuckled down and got into my school work and such stuff... I was big in the music stuff playing clarinet, tuba, euphonium in the school band, and singing in the multiple choirs and choral societys I was part of... this actually lasted 3 years, until I quit school at the start of year 12 (silly I know) and set out to experience the big bad world... I move to canberra a year after I quit school and lasted there a year (6 months longer than when I had lived there with mum) working odd jobs in maccers, an italian resteraunt as a waitress and even door to door sales (don't ask, I prefer never to remeber that part of my life) then in a fit of pique I moved to Melbourne.... I got off the bus knowing maybe two people in person in the entire city, and maybe another 5 from the net... I had a bit of trouble when I first moved down here, but suprisingly it was my internet friends who helped me with a place to stay and help finding somewhere more perminant... which turned out to be a boarding house... a quaint little two story town house with 6 girls (including myself) so needless to say that led to 6 months of partying and drunken soiree's (leaning over the balcony yelling *two dollar sucky sucky* at the turks across the road during our pimp and prostitute party... probably not the best idea lol) then one of my new found girlfriends and I took a dislike to one of our other housemates (who happened to be a prostitute... wierd... and no thats not the reason we took a dislike to her) and we moved out to yet another bording house...this one not so good... mostly druggies and single parents.... wasn't the best place... nothing against single parents mind you) and lasted there another 6 months before she moved out into a flat and I followed short after... at that point in time I was working in Traffic control, (great money, horrible job) and met my current partner after we had been living there for almost 8 months... mike and I moved into a house together almost 2 years ago, and have been steadily filling it up with junk because we're both shopaholics (our last list of christmas presents for each other should assert that fact... sad really) and my girlfriend moved in with us after finally getting out of the flat (we almost fell hrough the bathroom floor countless times, and she ended up hooking a hose system to the laundry sink just to have a shower... horrible place.. but at least there wern't any cockroaches) and we were living as a big happy family here for a few months... along with my two cats and the resident ghost who goes running up and down the hallway in the middle of the night.... until she moved back to perth.. now its just us the cats and the ghost :) I work in aged care which I love.. just recently finished my traineeship for my cert 3... planning on going onto division 2 nursing, and eventually doing a pregrad midwifery course :) so... there ends the current saga and extremely reduced version of my lifes story... maybe one day I'll write it... believe me, it would almost make fiction... but at least its never been boring... :D so if you have actually read this far... congradulations... you must be extremely bored :D

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and we were talking about the weird things we do that make us unique... so I thought Id make a list of my faults and greatness for anyone who's interested... I snore.. sometimes loudly, expecially when Im drunk... and thats when Im not talking or even (I've been told) *singing* in my sleep... not to mention once I woke up kicking an ex in the leg because I thought he was a bulldog that was attacking me (this was after a happy hour night with friends) I used to play the clarinet... the euphonium... and *yes* the tuba in highschool... also piano out of it... and I used to be in the colour guard (flag waving) group in the marching band I've done two many musicals in my life to remeber... I love ancient history, specially archaeology... I actually had plans to do it when I was younger but they never worked out... I secretly harbour a hero worship for romance writers I definitely want to go back to the past if a way is ever available I tend to have a try sarcastic, almost insulting sense of humour I love horses... Id own one if it was legal to keep it inside... 13 is my lucky number I was in a catwalk competition when I was 13 and I was number 13. and I got into the finals (coinkidenk? I think not...) I've got a weird psuedo american/english/aussie accent, but I've never left australia Im am both a country gal and a city gal... I have a major tendency towards stubborness and pigheadedness... but at least I can admit it... ummm... Im obsessed with the colour purple... and faux fur... specially mink... I have a bad tendancy to get into drinking contests with friends/family/complete strangers (even tho I don't drink that much anymore) I've kissed more girls than some of the lesbians I know, yet Im completely hetero... I also have a ten track attention span... and the short term memory capacity of little more than a goldfish... I... am a shopoholic... not in shops mind you where I actually see the money dissapearing... but I am a new fan of internet shopping... its bad... I know it... but its just so fun... and besides christmas is just around the corner I am a spiritualist... (thats such a cool word...) its a personal belief system that combines the best of wicca, pagan, and native american... I hate sundays... to me... a stranger is just another drinking buddy I have yet to meet I tend to quote in my everyday conversations driving everyone mad because they don't want to know the latest statistics on how many people in australia are drunk at every second of the day (at least 30 percent... weird hey) I have cleaning frenzys... usually when I don't have any smokes, or when I finally open my eyes long enough to realise that the house is a pigsty and I've been procrastinating to long I am a coffeeaholic I like vegimite and salt'n'vinigar chip sandwiches I once ate a whole jar of pickled gerhkins and a whole jar of pickled onions (both about 500 grams or bigger... its been too long) in one sitting along with a cup of coffee and then preceded to throw it all up again (I was about 4 months pregnant at the time) I have a fantasy about buying and doing up and old corvette stingray I dream of retiring on a farmstead in the mountains and raising mini horses I was once in a car accident when a car flipped over and everyone got hurt but the dog in the backseat that caused it... I am a self proclaimed typical aquarian... I believe in reincarnation hmmm.... well... thats all I can think of at the moment... if anyone else has noticed a weird habit of mine... feel free to add to the list... but for now... ciao ciao Teags
