Yasmin's Place: I cannot be bothered to actually write...as usual

I can make my blog into a book.....that's exciting.

I am missing

Arizona

,    a lot.

Not so much

Arizona

,    more my friends. It's funny, but not really.

Victoria Secret now ships to

Australia

.

My mother never stops talking, I get very annoyed.

I cannot find place to live, it is insane here. I have more    than enough money for once in my life but can't find anything decent.

Perth

has the highest prices real estate market in

Australia

. The median home    price where I am living now is $600,000.

My mother never stops talking.

I miss African Americans and Mexicans, as

Australia

does not have many.

My boss is African American, but he is the only one I have met    here.

I like the beach, a lot.

I wish the girls I met were awesome, but so far I find them also    a bit annoying.
   They like gaudy fibre optic Santa’s or have designs on their nails. Not    fab. Not hot.

I love Lauren, as she keeps me sane. She is trying to get    preggers, another one bites the dust.

My clients smell. Not a good smell. I brought in the most over    powering hand lotion today. I have decided to offer it to them when I    start to choke.

I want to live within walking distance to the beach. I am going    to have to beat out 200 people on Tuesday for a showing of a studio where    the rent is twice what I used to pay. Good thing I am making ok money.

Tonight the Amazing Race went through

Phoenix

...I would have killed to trade places with them even though they were at

Fort

McDowell

. I am that desperate.

I got an I pod and I love it. Seriously changed my life. I    cannot stop playing Skitzo Dancer. DISCO! DISCO! DISCO! Download    that and dance.

I have a holiday party this weekend for work in the party    district. I have a feeling I am going to drink too much. I have an even    better feeling that is exactly what you are supposed to at an Australian    holiday office party.

They stock my favourite wine at the cellar on the corner. I have not had it since I was in the northern beaches of

Sydney

. I have been known to drink an    bottle on a Tuesday night.

I have to order my MAC bronzer from David Jones in

Sydney

. MAC is not sold in

West Australia

.

Yellow watermelons grow in up North, they are yellow but taste    just like your average watermelon. I love watermelon more than anything.

I met with a 17 year old at work today. He did not smell bad.    He had the worst scene I have ever seen. He is on welfare, but homeless.    It made me sad. This job will make me cry. I am going to be too easy on    all of them and they will take advantage of me until I break and    stop all of their benefits. Then one of them will come in with a    screwdriver and try and stab me. Good thing my boss is big, black, and ex    US military.

I like Chris Rock. I think he is really funny.

I am required by management to sit down with a financial    planner in order to sort out my whole salary package. I am planning on    doing that on monday. It's not like it matters really because I already    signed a contract.

Facebook makes me smile. So does Myspace. I am lame.

I would rather sit at home with a bottle or three of nice wine    and catch up on celebrity gossip than hang out with anyone I have met    here. This excludes Lauren and my mothers Ya Ya's.

I want to make a fresh seafood salad for Christmas dinner.    Something with fresh crab, prawns, and lime. Any ideas?

I have promised to stay here for 6 months. I will. I have to    get over the 6 month hump. Then evaluate.

I like Eric Wanner, alot. As friends. I talk to him more than    anyone else back home for some reason. He is my current    "advisor"

I am as good as int o grad school here (according to the    program director) but keep on "forgetting" to get in my    application. What is my problem? Why don't I just do it?

I have not unpacked my stuff yet. I currently wear 2 pairs of    shoes. Heels to work and havianas any other time.

I have to dress up for work. I am a professional these days.

I need to go shopping tomorrow.

I am looking forward to Ikea more than just about anything else    this weekend.

Why is the grass always greener on the other side?

I really want to go to Singapore/Bangkok in Feb. but I will really have to save. Did you know that in

Australia

you have to supply    your own washer, dryer, fridge, microwave? Well you do. Which means I have    to shop, a lot.

I found bagels. I still need refried beans.

I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian.

I like going to the markets to shop for produce. Its cheap and    oh so fresh.

If I do not get this studio by the beach I will hopefully get a    2 bedroom apartment on top of the hill with killer views in all    directions.

Lauren's dad may sponsor Alicia's immigration. If so, Alicia    will move to the west coast and work for him. That makes me happy. I like    Alicia.

I may be getting rid of the Merc. I am a little sad about that.    People are suggesting a Lancer. Ummmmmm NO! I can't even think of any car    I would like. Oh I know, a gold Dodge Avenger! Seriously.

I am thinking I am going to buy a Jarrah bed. It is    pricey...but I figure I need a bed more than a fridge right? Ha! I will    live walking distance to 35 cafes....

I miss my life. I know I need to buck up and get over it. I have everything I have ever wanted and I should be excited, yet I just feel very mediocre.
