Oh yeah, form the other day that I talked about.
The teddy bears picnic was brilliant! I was painting straight from 9.30 until 1 - at one point I got up to go to the bathroom, and I couldn't walk properly because I'd been sitting in the exact same position for too long. And as I was walking to the bathroom, all the mothers in the face painting line were giving me dirty looks because I was making them wait longer to get they're kids faces done. WHAT BITCHES!
I got a few weird requests - my favourite was "I want to be a halloween pumpkin. A purple one".
I also got 'I want to be a blue cat'
'I want to be an octopus'
And like I got last year "I WANT TO BE A UNICORN". Like what? HOW? But this year I was prepared, I painted a unicorn on her face instead of making her one.
Anyway, I got lots of tigers, spidermans, flowers, only one batman and as per usual, I got ten thousand "I want to be a butterfly" - "what colour butterfly would you like to be?" - "PINK AND PURPLE" - "Would you like any glitter" - "PINK GLITTER".
I had some practice before hand, In Tibs face .. :)
I also did I dragon, a fairy and a unicorn on his face, but for now I only have the tiger!

keyboard is FIXED
Okay, so I've been putting off a blog post (as usual, when I have nothing important to say) but this time its because I have recently broken the SPACE key in the keyboard... This was making it very difficult to type properly. You see, under the space key on my mac keyboard (mac! Whoooooooooooooohooo!) theres this little metal bar, that holds it onto the keyboard...
When I had the brilliant idea of cleaning my keyboard by pulling all the keys off, I broke the metal bar off it. This meant the space bar was very difficult to press.
If I wanted it to press space, I had to mentally prepare myself, then hit the keyboard. And, as you could imagine, that was INCREDIBLY annoying while I was typing out blog posts - considering I usually type quite fast, I just ignored my computer when it came to anything that required more that ten words.
Thankfully, I whined about this to my dad the other day, and he conveniently had another spare mac keyboard lying around the house - which is even better than my last one! This ones FLAT.
When I used to live with dad I learnt to type brilliantly on these flat ones, they're so much easier.
The only thing is that if I grow my nails too long, then my fingers slip off the keys and I type with alot of extra letters than whats needed......
Either way, Im back now. I'll try to bully myself into writing about something thats remotely interesting - considering that my post had not point whatsoever.
Should probably get around to getting a new background sorted too. Im incredibly lazy (when Im not working my ass off doing other things).
I have been incredibly busy sorting out Tibs birthday presents...
I got him a bunch of cool stuff. And I'm making him a companion cube cake!!!!!! But don't tell him, because I know he never goes on facebook, and thats why its safe posting this on here, because its likely he'll never see it.
ALSO. Hes sitting right behind me right now - but hes too enveloped in playing some weird game on his DS. Speaking of games, I got him lego harry potter 2 on PS3 also, but that was kind of a selfish present, because I got it for him because we had so much fun playing the last one together!
Seriously. Harry potter. Omg.

Teddy bears picnic
I made dinner last night - fresh snapper fillets pan cooked with lemon pepper, garlic and paprika, sweet corn and Kumara chips with rosemary and oregano. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM delicious!
But thats not what Im here for, is it? NO. IT'S NOT!
Im here to tell you about something amazing that happened! Something so brilliant that even superman would be impressed. Something that will blow your mind inside out and back to front, its 10 times cooler than sliced bread and 50 times more dramatic than Shakespeare.
You'll still be screaming in excitement in 5 weeks from now because its just that amazing.
ITS THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
SO exciting!
But I guess that since its already saturday, and tomorrow is sunday, then that means the weekend is pretty much over. So It's not really that exciting at all when you think about it. Its pretty lame.
But whats not lame, is that Im going to be a face painter at the teddy bears picnic tomorrow - thats pretty darn cool. My co-painter of the faces will be none other than THIS PERSON.
Im wondering what I should have on my face though, last time I was a painter there 'THIS PERSON' painted my face for me and I looked like an idiot - but a happy idiot.
This year I'll paint my own face - but how should I have it? If my face is too scary then the kids wont want me to paint them, and they'll cry and they're tears will ruin my master pieces on they're faces. I want to do my brilliant fish on the face,
but I think that may even be a bit much for pathetic little children who've been baby'ed all they're lives (Im meaning the older ones, not the actual babies, they're allowed to be pathetic).
Maybe I should just paint myself as a lame fairy and leave it at that. Playing the boring but safe option is probably the best... Sigh.

Watermelon
Last week I bought a bunch of groceries from the super market - asperusual.
I had a mental conversation whilst there 'I love water melon! But I wont eat a whole one by myself, and nobody else in my family eats fruit EVER. If i buy a half one I know I'll eat it all - but if theres only a half, it will run out too fast and I'll be left with nothing!'
I decided to buy 3/4 of a water melon instead - One half, and one quarter. Good decision! Surely I'll have no trouble with that much?
When I got home from shopping, I had the dilemma of not enough arms to carry all the groceries out of the car at once. I naturally, I did the rational thing and made two trips.
Screw that! I loaded it all up onto one arm while I got out of the car and locked it. As I was walking down the driveway (thinking about how boss I was for managing not to drop any), I was shuffling the food out onto both my arms to even it out and I dropped the 1/4 melon - then in my panic, I dropped ALL the other groceries trying to catch it.
The majority of the items got through this unscathed, but the quarter melon (which I failed to catch. btw) was smashed into a pulp on the concrete.....
But, LUCKILY it was thoroughly wrapped in gladwrap! Nothing actually touched the ground, so I took it inside, and ate ALL of it - my reasoning being that it will go off faster if its smashes up.... not sure why that seemed logical at the time.....but it tasted good, and thats all that matters in the end.
What made me type this out, is that Im currently eating a 1/4 melon that I bought yesterday! Im eating it on my bed - over my new douve cover that I swore I'd never eat over. OH WELL.
