Sugar-coated compromise
Comments (0) Before you ask, yes - this is another procrastination post.
I can’t help it. It just doesn’t feel right finishing up a paper without at least SOME procrastination no matter how close to the deadline I am. But its all good as long as its done right? :D
Pictures before I start ranting about my peeve of the day:
Went for an AFL game sponsored by the Uni a couple of Sunday’s back. Adelaide Crows vs. Western Bulldogs
The AAMI Stadium. Before the game. Before the rain.
Weather was nice initially. And then halfway through when the game was reaching suspense, it started raining heavily. And i can assure you, its already VERY cold at the AAMI stadium (it IS still winter after all…) And it just gets worse when you’re wet shivering against the rather strong winds. The game was worth it though :)
A very blurry picture: Kel Zoe, Me, Derrick at our seats. before game. and before rain.
.
At The Shed (aka cafeteria-like place where people go to celebrate?)
Diane, Tania, Sherry. After game. After rain.
I still don’t understand how people can’t take proper pictures using a normal digital camera set on auto mode. You kinda just have to focus and snap. Meh. -.-
Freezing cold day, but still an eye opening experience. I guess i do sort of understand whats the obsession with footy over here is all about now. I think I might even be a little hooked to it now. Haha. Go Crows!!!

(feel free to skip this part)
Was reading an update from an acquaintance of mine about how unfair it is for her when her mum decides to (finally!) take some control and made some decisions about her life - especially regarding her education. No more running hogshod all over town staying out all night every single day with no word for her mum waiting at home waiting for news. Playing the minx yet going all innocent when it suited (on second thought, this describes most, myself included. lol). Failing miserably at her studies, daydreaming and deciding rash decisions based on her whim. Not that she could afford it. Gradually corrupting herself, yet insisting that she’s smarter than that. Yeah right.
Don’t get me wrong. I love her to bits. Well not in that way obviously, but more like a sister. Although if its my sister for real, it wouldn’t have gone so far. Its been several days now since then and day after day, i see posts and updates whining and asking for sympathy, to the extent of asking if anyone would house her if she was to leave home. I guess that last update made me snap.
Love or no love, i can’t help but feel that she is one selfish whiny little brat. A year back, she was ranting about others, doling out advice on how one should conduct themselves in public. Loudly blasting them when she disapproves. Even going so far as to slightly backstab a mutual friend when she felt she was losing attention. I’ve kept my silence so far, but knowing all these, I can’t help but wonder what she said behind MY back. And somehow, you just knew that chances of it being something flattering is very slim.
Perhaps i’m just disappointed. I don’t know. Sometimes when you’ve known someone for 4 years, you’d hope that they’ll turn out okay. And watching her go down this path…
And yes, other than the fact that her mum phoned me and begged requested that i talk to her, its probably none of my concern. I’m just being nosy aren’t i?

Rantings aside, its been one hell of a fortnight. What with the graduations, reunions and then more assignments. Its unusually quiet now with most of the noisiest people gone and less new people coming this way. I miss them, its true. Although its funny how all the nice people are gone and the annoying ones stayed back to further their studies. Probably cause the know they’d need more qualifications for their future employers to tolerate them. Meh.
I think I’m severely lacking sleep. My metabolism rates has gone down and i’m beginning to utterly believe that I’m starting to grow fat. And the increasing amount of chocolate needed to keep me happy is definitely a good indicator on that score. Skin is hopelessly pale as usual and my eyebags are beyond saving. I blame assignments and any drama involving him.
Please please share any remedies you know to get rid of dark eye circles??
