Hrrrmmmm....

OK, so no more typing it in Word and then pasting into the blog. A: the blog doesn't like it and B: it for whatever reason turns out really small or larger than my other posts. And it annoys me.

So anyway.. I think I'm gonna have to stop doing the play by play about my days. A: Because it's really boring and redundant and 2: It's just not all that fun to write about. So I think I'll pick one or two things out of my day that I made a mental note of and elaborate/rant about those. That should at least amuse me enough to want to write about it.

Like today for instance. I had to take the ferry over into Sydney (for those of you who don't know, I've been staying on Manly which is about 30 min NNE of Sydney) to pick up my travel packet, and that was all good, there was hardly anyone on the ferry. But on the way back however (and let me just interject that today was HOT and MUGGY and sticky) there seemed to be about 10x more people heading to Manly and all of those people had the same sense of urgency that if they didn't group together and walk as fast as they could onto the ferry all at the same time that they would miss it and it would leave without them. When in reality, everyone is just in a mad dash to get a good seat up front or in back or on the sides for the outside seating to which there is little. So I grabbed an empty bench on one of the sides (it WAS empty when I sat down) but then Mrs Cha Cha Rodriguez and her sister and 4 kids decided that was a great spot to squeeeeze into as well. And I'm sure they would have been ecstatic had I just gotten up and moved inside, giving there Prada jeans wearing asses more space. But HELL NO! I was there first damnit and just because you made the idiotic choice to breed, doesn't mean *I* have to make room for *you*!
But it was fine and they gave me my space. I couldn't be the overly personal-bubble spaced American that I wanted to be, but it was still fine.
It's just one of those things that irks me. Like when you're getting on a airline that is not Southwest.... I'm pretty sure SW is the only airline that does NOT have assigned seats. So therefore W-T-F is the point of making sure you're at the front of the line to board?? Is your seat gonna magically disappear?? Is the plane gonna take off without you?? NO, NO NO NO. But I guess it's just a mentality thing that you always are wanting to hurry up and wait. Hurry up and get on the ferry to wait 10 more min for it to take off. Hurry up and get on the plane so you can wait for everyone else to get on and then wait some more for it to get ready to depart. Get over it peebles!! :)

I also COOKED tonight! Yes, that's right ladies and gents, she can cook. I just prefer the quick and easy than the "slave over a hot stove" method. Plus my man is usually the one who's in charge of everything in the kitchen. And I like it that way. But I have to say it was tasty! I made sketti... also known as spaghetti bolonaise here in Oz. But not only did I put sauce in a pan and boil noodles, oh no, I chopped onions, carrots and pressed garlic and added herbs!! Oh yeah *flexes cooking muscles*

Other than that, for those of you who are interested, I leave tomorrow for Newcastle and I'll be staying in my first hostel ever!! *DUN DUN DUUUNNNN* I'm skerd.
And a relief might be in site for ya'll since I don't think I'll have as abundant of internet access as I have had. I'll most likely have to pay by the hour to use it. So I'll most likely be getting on once a day and calling it quitz. So enjoy the posts while you can!

Cheers
