Today is the 30th of October. I have only to get through another 35 hours and I will have successfully completed Sober October. You have no idea how proud of myself I am right now. And how excited I am that my clothes have gone back to actually fitting me properly!! Geeze, who woulda thunk it - not drinking alcohol, eating well and mildly exercising makes you lose weight!! STOP THE PRESSES!! Anyway, this guy is my new hero. Here he is with his creation, the world's largest rubber band ball. Epic. 
 This afternoon I am going bridesmaid dress shopping with my sister. Wish us luck! It's a really bad time to be dress shopping, as it's currently the Spring Racing Carnival, hence 90% of dresses in shops are short and slutty, as is the current racing fashion. This would be convenient if I wanted to look slutty at my sister's wedding, but unfortunately I'm hoping for something closer to classy. Bah. I was going to post an update in here with actual stuff I've been doing lately, but once again, it's just descended into time wasting, random links/photos, and nothing of actual substance. May as well finish off with a pointless meme then... My current desktop wallpaper!!At: work

I should really be going to sleep, as I have to get up ridiculously early tomorrow. It's for a good cause though, going into the city to meet ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shakalak and Mat for breakfast. Then heading to work once that wraps up at about 8:30 - I may actually get there on time for once OMG! Instead of sleeping though, I am: *making gifs: 
Oh Pete Campbell ♥♥♥*watching the latest instalment of A-Trak's Hotel Guides. I love his dorky, awkward brand of humour sfm... *getting overexcited about the Socceroos v Oman game tomorrow night. I can't even remember when the last Socceroos match that I actually attended was. The only game in Melbourne in the last year has been the Japan game, which I did not go to. So I am very much looking forward to putting on my jersey and getting along to cheer on our beautiful boys. Except Brett Holman. He gets nothing :/ *pining for my camera, which is currently with Canon being repaired, due to a mystery ailment it picked up last weekend :( *trying to work out some sort of way to break through the space-time continuum, in order to find more hours in the day so that I can watch the 5 episodes of Supernatural S05 and 3 episodes of Dexter S04 that are sitting on my hard drive and write a proper update in here, none of which I have enough time to do currently. Hmmm. *successfully completing day 13 of Ocsober. BOO YEAH! SOBRIETY! *attempting to defrost my feet in the electric-blankety goodness of my bed because it is cold as FUCK right now. The weather has been really mean lately, cold, rainy and windy. It was kind of beautiful in the city last night though, once the rain stopped:  Ahh Melbourne, horrible one moment, beautiful the next... Feeling:  mellow

Sitting at home watching the Victory/Phoenix match. Wellington have just equalised after a quality strike from Tim Brown combined with some shoddy defending from Victory. Fail. Still, Liverpool won 4-0 overnight with goals from Dirk and a hat-trick from Yossi, and Collingwood beat Adelaide in the best game of football I've ever watched. Went to the match with the lovely inadequate and shakalak - it was SO warm yesterday. After months of horrible cold winter weather it got to 29 degrees! I'd forgotten what it felt like to be hot! It was a perfect afternoon to drink beers and watch footy. The first half was horrible - "bad Collingwood" were out on the field. "Good Collingwood" turned up to play in the second half, and we managed to turn a 32 point defecit around. By the final quarter, we were in the most ridiculous emotional/drunken state. I was almost in tears when Jack Anthony lined up to kick what would be the winning goal. Just an amazing amazing moment. I am horribly sick today, hence not being at the Victory game. Just sitting on my bed with Justin.tv for company and reading endless stories about the Pies. From this article on the Collingwood website: Shaw said Anthony, who was in tears following his match-winner, is a player who shows his passion.
"He wears his heart on his sleeve. It was a big goal in a big game and he got his side into a preliminary final, so he was pretty emotional," he said.
"A few of the boys have given him a little bit of stick about it this morning, but you love to see that stuff from any player."
He added president Eddie McGuire was also a little hoarse after relishing such an occasion.
"He was pretty excited. I tried to talk to him after the game and his throat was gone. I don't know how he's going to go on radio tomorrow," Shaw said.
"He was pretty emotional – everyone was."They are my favourites. The end. Feeling:  blurgh

day 01 | a songday 02 | a pictureday 03 | a book/ebook/fanficday 04 | a site day 05 | a youtube clip day 06 | a quote day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy I was meant to do this yesterday, but got sidetracked with life, i.e. going to watch the Collingwood v St Kilda Qualifying Final with Liz at the pub. Which turned into attempting to go and meet Flipp at the British Crown, doing a u-turn when we were halfway there as we realised everyone had left, and going to Pete, Dan and Dave's to drink beers, eat pizza and watch Idol and Rove. Sidenote: I haven't watched an entire episode of Australian Idol since the first season - the new judge is a douche, Andrew G without James Mathison is just awkward and even more annoying, and all the contestants are rubbish. Time to pull the plug Channel 10. So, meme time. I'm going to rec the Southern Vampire Mysteries (the series that True Blood is based on). I'm sort of reluctant to actually recommend them, because they are total garbage, but I can't stop reading them, and I figure other people should be sharing my pain heheh. koalena converted them all to text files and uploaded them here, so you can read them in MS Word and it looks like you're working. Awesome :p I had a fairly low-key weekend. Not much to report really. I watched a lot of football and went and saw Up. It was one of the most magical films I've ever seen. Four thumbs up! OK, gtg to a meeting. Kill me now. Tags: meme

Sharing meme... as seen on flash_indie's journal. day 01 | a songday 02 | a picture day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic day 04 | a site day 05 | a youtube clip day 06 | a quote day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy Queen - I Want To Break FreeI would upload the mp3, but I'm at work, and frankly, anyone who doesn't have this already is no longer my friend :p This song seems to be following me around lately - one of the DJs on the boat last weekend played it, it's come up on shuffle on my iPod twice this week, and was playing in the supermarket the other day. Just a classic song. Now I have to remember to keep doing this meme over the weekend. Likelihood of that happening - moderate at this stage. Also, reason number 47 why Heath Shaw is my favourite... Then my favourite part of the day comes…lunch. After exhausting myself during lunch (I eat a lot) I proceeded to my second favourite part of the day which is NAP TIME. I generally set aside an hour for an uninterrupted sleep. Tonight I am going to support my housemate’s girlfriend play netball. After meeting several of the Melbourne Vixens this year (I went to the grand final last month), I have a newfound appreciation for the sport. As I am currently single, it’s also not a bad place to meet a prospective lady friend!From here. ILU Heath. Currently counting down the last hour of the week. Hurry up weekend :( Hahahah appropriate icon is appropriate. Tags: meme
