gum nut babies - 05:15 PM
i've been studying hard this afternoon. it's tired my brain out something chronic. hopefully it'll all come to some good & i'll pass my exam tomorrow with flying colours.
went to my cousin tash's engagement party last night. it was pretty cool (literally, too .. it was freezing cold!), there were heaps of people there. we met this nice girl called stella who knows tash from uni. she was really friendly & full of things to talk about. it was so cold there (the party was out near jimboomba) that by the end, my honey, myself, & one of my other cousins rachael stood there talking to everyone all wrapped up in this one big blanket my uncle gerry (said with a hard 'g' - yes, it matters) had taken from his car. it looked pretty funny with all three of us wrapped up together. someone said we looked like the gum nut babies.
has anyone been watching that show 'popstars'? if you haven't, it's about a bunch of girls all hoping for stardom by trying out to become a member of a girl group (like we need another girl group). they only want five girls out of the initial hundreds & hundreds that turned up to the auditions, so week by week they've been recording the process of whittling them down until they find the five with that so-called 'special something'. it's interesting.
one thing that really annoyed me about it though, was there was this one girl who has her tongue pierced .. she must have had something like an 8 gauge barbell in there .. anyway, they reckoned that she was good enough to be part of the final twenty-five to be sent to sydney for the final cut, but they said she had to take the "bolt out of her tongue" because it was making her sing funny. what crap! if she sings funny with it in her tongue she's still gonna sing funny with it out. bah! they know nothing!!!
