logansrogueBig long journal entry folks. Let's start at the beginning:
http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/7/1021310842
Check it right out. I'm on theonering.net! YAY! I feel special. Go there to read about the time I had Ring-leading a LotR party at the movies. Big happy fun time.
Next day was mother's day, and the presents I organised for Mum went off wonderfully. She loved the Councillor's Flash Cards I made up (Talk to the Hand, cause Cr. Lorenz ain't listenin!) and the online card I sent her. I made her melting moments and she was in utter heaven :)
Today is Tuesday, and I went to the Unemployment Office (Centrelink) to apply for Newstart allowance. It should be renamed to "Poncy Fascist Pig-dog Allowance for Useless Turds without Prospects." A few of the requirements for getting this job are:
- Keeping a job application diary. This I don't have a problem with. The problem I have is that we're supposed to apply for ten jobs... PER FORTNIGHT! Not per month, per FORTNIGHT! Christ ALL MIGHTY!! I'd be lucky if I found TWO jobs I was qualified to apply for in a fortnight, let alone TEN!
- Getting a job counsellor who will meet me every two weeks to look at my diary and ask me why I didn't take the toilet-scrubbing job I applied for.
- Stay out of any studying or courses for six months to make sure I can't find a job without needing the course.
There's more, it's all so bullshit, these fuckers are basically going to tell me how to lead my life if I go for it. I don't want to go for it, and I don't even wa nt to talk to my Dad about it. If I do go on it, and I don't take a certain job and they don't like my excuse, they'll penalise me by taking my payments away for a certain amount of time. No bullshit. I'm serious. I want to tell them to go fuck themselves, and I probably will. The whole experience freaked me totally out. I felt like I'd walked into Big Brother World.
Moving on, I was going to go to karaoke tonight, but I decided against it cause I got my periods. Ouch. I was going to try to get my brother to go with me but he wasn't home. I hope he's okay. Rachel has left him for good good, no turning back, no fixing things. The poor guy is not happy at all (duh). So anyways, I'm stuck at home.
I heard news of the latest developments with X2. For those not aux fe with Comic-Book Cinema, that's the sequel to X-Men. It's looking really awesome! Beyond all hope, it seems to have focused a little on the younger students and Wolverine, and Scott and Jean's relationship. I hope hope hope there's a little Wolverine/Rogue tension. Enough to spawn a few stories from my crazy brain :)
On a last note, I went to a movie last night with my friend Duct-Tape Dave. I had a really really nice time, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Dave is quite a sweety, despite his caustic sense of humour (which I find amusing anyways), and it was really nice of him to shout me the cost of the movie. We saw High Crimes, which was quite good. I really enjoyed it, cause the lead was a strong woman, and she was battling hard and difficult situations with bravery and passion. We don't get to see women do that much these days, and she wasn't gay either which was a bonus. Ashley Judd was really really awesome, and I've done a full 180 from hating her to loving her totally. What a girl!
Anyways, I better go pee before my bladder sets my cramps off. I'm downloading Marcia Hines music tonight. Weeee!
