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.
