THE LUMP I DUMP giving it to you buttgood since 1985 [entries|friends|calendar] thelumpidump [ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | livejournal calendar ]

[03 Feb 2006|06:40am] Hehe, just got a rather cute email from Ana (my Spanish teacher)... ịHola, preciosos y preciosas! ¿Qué tal estáis? Yo estoy muy bien. In fact, yo estoy fantástica. Simple reason –I just found out that I’ll be your profesora de español for the next diez weeks. I’m one big smile in anticipation and GRACIAS to the odds. I can’t wait. Buen fin de semana, y siete mil novecientos ochenta y siete kisses…to be shared…in pairs (A-B, A-B..).. Hasta muy pronto Ana x Can't wait until Spanish starts again (hehe, everybody's gunna be so embarassed about the shenanigans in our end-of-term Spanish piss-up, a few weeks back), been bludging and drinking too much i feel rather useless at the moment. And no, i cannot try to find a job coz i'm going on an all-expenses paid trip to Hong Kong in two weeks (plus, i'll be getting my uni cafe job back when uni starts on the 1st of March) to buy couture, new shoes and most importantly new sunnies. It'll be the first time i travel alone on a plane, also, i'd prolly spend most of my time shopping and eating alone since my mum and sister work full-time. Can't wait though, i am desperate for a change of scenery. And you know me, i just love alone time (i'm such a fucked up introverted type). I will be back for the Mardi Gras, however, i doubt i'd be going to the official party though, my girls are already complaining they can't afford the tickets. iHasta próximo momento, buen fin de semana!

[30 Jan 2006|07:40am] [ music | Madonna - Lo Que Siente La Mujer ] Ahora mismo, puedo hablar un poco espaňol. Entre otras cosas, disfrutamos estudiando espaňol. Por tanto, quiero escribo en espaňol siempre que puedo.

[01 Jan 2006|07:33pm] Ugh, my body is lethally hungover and in pain from all the walking and dancing...and the hottest day in 67 years is not helping.

[24 Dec 2005|10:54pm] Emma thinks i'm turning into her...rampaging the world of men in a frenzy of uncontrollable chemicals and unrelenting compulsion. Two men in one night, :D a new record for me... Went to Wagamama last night with Bethan and Bec, then joined Cailin and Michael at the Dog House to see Fuji play...headed over to Marc's hotel, had rampant sex...jumped in a cab to Oxford, picked up this guy in MidnightShift...etc... Me and my girls are planning to see Narnia on Boxing day and possibly continue partying... On Tuesday, i'm shopping for Julia's b'day prezzie, going to Michael's BBQ in Artarmon and heading over to Julia's 21st at Pete's place in Chatswood. Ugh, lethargic...night.

[23 Dec 2005|03:26pm] Ugh, this is well and truly my sluttiest phase...sex sex sex, and i don't even remember the face of the guy i slept with last night! So tonight, im meeting up with Marc at Holiday Inn, at freaking 11pm, coz his flight is delayed. And when i mean HIS flight, i mean it quite literally, he's a pilot, and he's flying the goddamn Boeing-737 into Sydney...sounds very hot...although, i'm way too hungover to really care, blah... Going Christmas shopping with Bethan in a mo, then dinner with Bethan and Cailin, etc, etc...lolz, Emma really wants to see me kiss a guy in front of her, hopefully i can oblige soon enough. On a bleaker note, i've slipped back into full throttle drinking mode and my body has never been more lethargic coz of the toxins. Ugh, very sick indeed. P.S. I walked past Toni Collette yesterday in uptown CBD around all the Gucci stores and stuff...

[15 Dec 2005|06:36pm] "There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it." If you haven't read Brokeback Mountain yet, do yourself a favour and do. Such a heartfelt story. Somehow though, i think that casting Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal is idealising Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist a little too much...i'm sure i'd still enjoy it though.

[13 Dec 2005|12:31pm] [ music | Pussy Cat Dolls - Don't Cha (yes yes i know its trash...) ] Ugh, why is it that i tend to need less sleep after a big night of drinking? The hangover is still there, but there is not a fiddler's chance i could sleep any more. Last week was intense. A complete week of mental makeover. Spent most of my waking hours reading matters relating to literature, politics, history, philosophy and cosmology. I'm just jamming it in, more efficiently than my university studies. This thirst of knowledge hasn't stopped...it's so out of this world. And i'm loving what its doing for me. Knowledge is power, and after having researched all this stuff about communism and social democracy i was well equipped for last night's four hour politics-debate, drunk (also, last night's The Constant Gardener viewing was awesome...great film). I'm pleasantly surprised at how much i love politics these days. Who would've guessed? At the moment i'm reading Dostoyevsky's classic Crime and Punishment, which i'm hoping to multitask with Annie Proulx's short story Brokeback Mountain since i wanna get it read before seeing it on the big screen on boxing day. Catching up with Julia tmrw, and starting my swimming program at Cook + Phillip pool tmrw also (since BOTH the USYD pool and Victoria Park pool are still renovating, how fucken stupid...it's fucken summer)... That is all, except one more point. Cronulla sux.

[05 Dec 2005|07:17am] Little Britain has become my new obssession. The Vicky Pollard, Marjorie Dawes and Dafydd sketches are down right hysterical. At the moment, i'm in the middle of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World and just about to start John le Carre's The Constant Gardener. On Saturday night/morning at 4:30am-ish, my cab driver tried to coax me into sniffing amyl and jerking off for him in the cab. It's totally ridiculous. This was the second time in the past few months a taxi driver sexually harassed me.

[29 Nov 2005|09:21pm] ...ugh, so jaded...feeling a lil'sick actually...i wish i had the cash to go on a detox summer camp thing... ...altho i am quite pleased with my HD in neuroanatomy...considering i only went to the first three weeks of lectures and didn't put in any effort for the tutorial reports. Imagine if i actually tried! I think i might head to the library later this week to read some Albert Camus. Since i haven't seen Julia in yonks, we're going out on Thursday to watch Harry Potter (which i really don't wanna see, but since it's Julia who asked, anything goes...love that girl). I stumbled out of Lansdowne 1am last night completely trashed and met Rhys from Auckland across the road for like 5 minutes...lolz, i never cease to embarass myself. I spoke in drunken slurs. Meghan is having her going away drinks on Saturday night and i'm sad she's leaving Sydney and going back to San Diego. Rhys is coming over on Sunday (i think) to watch Da Kath & Kim Code with me... Nite.

[27 Nov 2005|03:55pm] the clubhouse is such a cool place...a tunnel below train tracks with bands playing their hearts out...the only drawback was prolly me getting a little too stoned...managed to see godfery play and cailin thought he was hot... ...ploughing through 'tis at the moment, eagerly anticipating the plights of frank mccourt since his childhood in angela's ashes... kath & kim tonight, only sad cases will allow themselves to miss it...

[23 Nov 2005|09:14pm] [ music | Madonna - Hung Up ] Alot of partying and alot of reading (novels, memoirs, history and philosophy, politics, etc) in the past week. Me and You and Everyone We Know was unbelievably swell. One of my top three films this year. ))< >(( forever. Got my neuroanatomy essay back. Topped it with a 95%. So here it is, i present you with an essay on the neuroanatomy of homosexuality... ( The Neuroanatomy of Sexual Orientation: A Dimorphic Perspective )

[17 Nov 2005|02:10pm] [ music | Tori Amos - Silent All These Years ] So, it's been a very intoxicating week so far... Finished my exams on Tuesday to a thunderous finale! Left the exam room FORTY-FIVE MINUTES EARLY :D! I'm such an attention whore...although i really did get it decently done in seventy five minutes...coz surprisingly, it was the most prepared psych exam i've ever done (excl. statistics)...and it only took me three days! Got completely trashed that night at Hermanns, Kuletos and Marly with Julia and Pete (the new Kuletos cocktail menu is sooo tops, EVERYONE should try the LOTUS CHILL)...followed by much late night munchies-ness... Last night was another major piss up. Cailin, Bethan, Julia, Emma, Kyle and i got together at Cheers and Windsor (later joined by Emily and co. and Damien and Tim)...a huge argument erupted concerning moral relativism. Loving the fact that my social circle is so intelligent. Tonight, Emma, Cailin and i are gunna go see SAW 2! CAN'T WAIT! Then Saturday Julia and i have to go op-shopping for 80s costumes for Claire's party that night. Also, Cailin and i are hastily rounding up funds for our summer Spanish course...we need to pay early to secure places in the course considering we need SEVEN out of the twenty places available. It's gunna be so funny, our entire posse dominating the summer class...Me, Cailin, Emma, Bethan, Julia, Louisa and Kyle. Can't wait. Before having dinner with Emma at the Downey tonight, i gotta round up some second hand books in Newtown for my summer read-a-thon...i'm SO excited about summer! No exams (even for Spanish), plenty of sun and beach-ing, AND camping down south before Christmas! Fun fun fun, alcohol and drugs fun!

[12 Nov 2005|09:41pm] Last night was Cailin's b'day drinks at Different Drummer. Twas quite the place to be. Bethan, Emma, Julia, Rosanna, Kyle, Claire, Jehan, Sarah, Ross, Andrew, Jeff, Michael and Maddy were there. Also, yesterday's exam was lethal. I hate myself. That is all i have to say about the matter. So, :D upcoming parties include Claire's 80s b'day party on the 19th NOV at World Bar Kings X, followed by Emily's b'day drinks on the same night at HOME. There's also Sarah's Gangsters and Flappers house party on the 25th NOV and Cecil's house partying in Paddington on the 26th NOV (the French girl Emma and i met at Parklife)...oh, and also Julia's 21st on the 27th of December. At the moment, nothing is really planned for the summer, except for possibly a camping trip to Byron after the partying...AND a summer intensive course in introductory Spanish Cailin and i are planning to do (can't wait)... One more exam left (Personality and Differential Psychology). Can't fuck this one up like i did with Cognitive, Developmental and Social Psychology.

Running Up That Hill [08 Nov 2005|08:28am] [ music | Placebo (Cover) - Running Up That Hill ]

[08 Nov 2005|08:08am] Weird day today. Just woke up, very awake and very motivated to study. So...heading into uni in a bit to study until 10pm at the library. Meeting Julia sometime in between...and also, planning to get permission from the neuroscience coordinators to do advanced subjects next year...AND check out where my Thursday practical exam is...nerd nerd nerd.

[07 Nov 2005|08:06am] Louisa's so cool. She logged onto just a minute ago and she tested me on neuro...she's so smart! Damn those medical students who have tonnes of party and yet still know so much. She was so hasty with the questioning...name the venous sinuses! which spinal cord tract transmits heat and temperature? have u learnt circle of willis? :( Unfortunately i only knew the answer to the last two...lateral spinothalamic tract and the ring of arteries at the base of the brain (posterior, middle and anterior cerebral arteries and the superior cerebellar artery)...HOWEVER, i did turn that damn venous sinuses question back on her and said "well, we didn't learn the sinuses but i know they're in between the two dural layers...ALSO we learnt the dural reflections!"....hehe, and that's where i got her! Hehe, we're such nerds, i love it. Dammit, need to study more...

[07 Nov 2005|12:16am] As a break from neuroanatomy, i sorted out my Queenstown photos and narrowed the hundreds down to fifty-five. Here, i'll present you with ten of them, uncaptioned...i'll upload the rest, along with captions, once my exam is over tomorrow.

[05 Nov 2005|01:53am] After four long days of cognitive psychology, neuroanatomy seems like a godly succession. I am SO sick of memory, attention and thinking (problem solving and decision making)...studying things like the superior colliculi, substantia nigra, globus pallidus, and all sorts of other words with latin/greek roots is actually pretty up my alley and not too demanding at the moment...on a cognitive note though, for those who want to challenge their problem solving skills, visit the Mazeworks site and try completing the Tower of Hanoi game in the minimum number of moves. Give the five disks level a go (minimum number of moves is 31). I doubt you'd hit that number on your first go, but who knows. Anyways, time to get back to my brain maps and MRIs of coronal sections of the brain...there's no time to dilly dally, especially coz i have to attend Bethan's dinner party tmrw night, considering i organised it. :D Lamb roast ahoy!

[03 Nov 2005|04:59am] LMFAO, this so made my night...made all the study worth it... In my Cognitive Psychology textbook, Galotti quotes Bass and Davis' self-help book The Courage to Heal, which is about how to rediscover your "repressed" memories of being sexually abused as a child... "If you are unable to remember any specific instances [of abuse] like the ones mentioned above but still have a feeling that something abusive happened to you, it probably did." (p.21) and "If you think you were abused and your life shows the symptoms, then you were." (p.22) ...fucken lunatics.

[03 Nov 2005|02:34am] [ music | Des'ree - Kissing You ] UGH! I'm getting so sick of studying... :D That's why i just organised a dinner party at Bethan's for Saturday night...bloody Bethan and Cailin are getting wasted tonight without me! Of course, i was invited to this all girls night too, but unlike them i have quite a few exams...and they just handed in a take-home exam for philosophy, so in actual fact, they do have a justified excuse for getting shit-faced. I MISS MY ALCOHOL! It's been four days since i had a drink!
