08:13 pm - As the year winds down... I have less then 2 weeks of class left, and almost all of my assignments are in save for one. really, there isn't much reason to attend class... But I will anyway because I'm a whipped student like that ^.~ Been rather introspective lately, with the looming thought of home hanging over my head. All sorts of worries and uncertainties there... Yet lately I can't help but think about how utterly amazing this year has been over all. Made many wonderful friends and seen so much of this beautiful state, but I haven't had my fill yet! I don't even know how many more people I have yet to meet, bars to go get pissed at, or places yet to see. That's what the next year will hopefully be for ^_^ Even with assignments and classes to attend, I still try and make a bit of time to be social and hang out with the friends I have here. Over the weekend the Masquerade was amazingly fun! The weather didn't agree with us so much, but the company was nothing but wonderful and everyone looked absolutely gorgeous in their outfits. Link to pictures for thoses that weren't there ^_^ And today when I was at the zoo with JJ and Shells, a more then welcome break from essay writing. Cute tour guides and cool animals made today a total winner =D Even if we had to eat at Maccas ^.~ I know next year won't be all ups, and will certainly have it's own downs as well... But I'm still finding myself hesitant to leave, not really wanting to! At least it should just be for a month and will be back in a timely fashion. ^_____^ Thank you all for making this such a wonderful year! <333 Current Location: Study Hall Current Mood: thoughtful Current Music: Blucher - Kamelot Tags: leaving oz, life, school

05:14 pm - Chocorate~ *drools* Mmkay! Finally settled on a date for chocolate outting to Max Brenner~ People who want to go and have the time, meet under the clocks at Flinders on Thursday after 4:30. And then there will be chocolate to be had. Yum! Fingers crossed I get as much essay done as I'm hoping to >.> HAT U 5000 WRDS ;3; *runs off sobbing* XD Current Location: Study Hall Current Mood: hungry Current Music: Children - Robert Miles Tags: chocolate, max brenner, meet ups

03:31 pm - *melts* Oh dear god... It's getting so bloody hot out here. Today is marvelously windy, which helps take the edge off the heat but it is still rather warm >.> And it's not even January yet!!! I'm gonna melt away into a puddle of Jade!goo when the real summer arrives. Srsly. That is my fate! D= But on the same token I know I'll probably freeze my cute little butt off when I make it back to good 'ol CA. My only consolation with that is the snowmobiles that I know are waiting for me ^_^ Sorry y'all from home for not posting in, like forEVAR! No, I'm not dead... yet >.> Although I don't have a working computer right now, so all I can do is use the compy labs available to me on campus. Kind of sucks because that means I won't be able to talk to Anikka or family :( But the countdown to getting home is on, and I've got less then a month left here in Oz. First order of business? I wants my resin babies back!!! ;3; I misses them lots... And I also need to finalize details of what I'll be doing with Drayke *cuddles dragon* <333 Something has been bothering me lately... Le Sigh. Stoopid home. I wanna stay and hang out with the people here XP It's only for a month tho, and I am looking forward to a white Christmas with the family. Fingers crossed that I finish the presents I'll give to people. I kind of want to get Nessa something extra special *hugs* Thanks so much for being there when I needed you hun. You were exactly what I needed to get myself back on track after that news. I miss you heaps and can't wait to see both you and TK when I get back home <33333 Not much else that I really need to say right now. *quibble* Gotta get back to work and finish assignments. Must get good marks so I can come back next year =.=;;; OH!! PS to Aussie peoples, I propose an outing into the city for chocolate. I'm starting to get my Max Brenner cravings again =D anyone up for that eventually? PPS - JJ? When did you want to arrange that parents BBQ? I know you told me, but I have the memory of a goldfish TAT Current Location: Study Hall Current Mood: anxious Current Music: UFO - Sneaky Sound System Tags: heat, home, life, musings

03:20 am - Is still alive! Well, I've been meaning to post an update for quite some time now. Unfortunately it appears that the lazy bug has bitten be again >.> *kills it* D< Er... tries to at least. Teaching prac is kind of boring this time around. My I'm taking almost half the classes that I had last time out... But I'm still there longer hours then my supervisor. Go figure O.o It's a really interesting experience tho. Not as "wonderful" as last time out, and the standards of the school are rather low. But I'm still enjoying myself. All the other student teachers there are awesome and fun to talk to, and the kids have just had a pretty rough go of it. But I'm trying to be as positive as I can about the whole thing and just enjoy it for what it is ^^ Although, I've gotta be honest. I don't post here anymore unless I'm being whiney :P I do try not to be tho! Honest Injun! XD But I think that I've finally figured out why things have been bothering me so much lately; I've been trying to hang on to something that's not really there anymore... I know that probably sounds kind of emo, but it's actually pretty liberating to think about. What I left back in Ontario when I came out here was wonderful and all, but that isn't my life anymore. I feel like I've grown up a bit, matured and moved on to something not necessarily bigger and better, but different and good in it's own right. I wouldn't ever want to leave everyone from home completely behind, but I do have other people and experiences that are right in front of me. Nothing will ever stop me from missing people back home, but I find that I miss them less and less lately. Meeting amazing new people, and really getting into my new life and mindset. I like that I'll always have them to go back to when I'm not traveling or working, but I don't need to cling to it all as desperately as I have been. And I think I'm actually better for it. It's a really neat mindset that I've been getting myself into. Makes me feel all mature and professional. I'm here for education, and to school myself into getting a job. Still not all sunk in yet... But once I'm done my masters it'll be out into the working world for me! *muses* Maybe that's the best part about teaching prac... It gives you a taste of what it will actually be like to invest yourself in a full-time job and profession. And I do adore the attitudes in the staffroom and how friendly people are. Now I simply can't wait to head out there! And you know, make some money too ^.~ But for now? Dishes and then making dinner <3 ... And maybe get down to that schoolwork I've been avoiding =P (maybe I'm still less adult then I think I am XD ) Current Location: Melbourne Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Kamelot - Anthem Tags: lazy, life, moving on

03:20 am - Heads up, Ryo! Beware the fluffy pink monstrosity! >D *snicker* It's actually very cute and I'm sure that Nikki will adore her new jumper ^^ Even Drayke enjoyed modeling a better-made jumper then my last~ Also the hoodie actually fits over the head! Joy! Anywho, I'll see what I can do to get this to you. Either when I see you again, of Cherryl rocks up. And Imma also send along some extra yarn for attaching buttons should you desire <3 ( btw, check under the cut for pictures ) BTW, sorry about the poor picture quality... I finished it last night when there was no natural light around at all. Hopefully you can still get an idea of the flyffy pink-ness yes? ^_^ Current Location: Appartment Current Mood: creative Current Music: Nightwish - Amaranth Tags: comission, dolls, pics

07:47 pm - Sooo tasty... I know I promised pictures, but first I need to rant about dolls and food first! =D Went out to Gingerboy last night. It was very very good... I liked everything that I tried, from duck to trout to cuttle fish to tofu~ Event he semi-raw eggs with sooo good... And the cocktails? Yummy! A very thorough and thought out restaurant review to be sure, but I just had to throw it out there that classy dinner was awesome and company was for the win. Everything had such a great kick to it but wasn't too spicy. I want to go back... Or dress up fancy again and take people out for Chocolate cocktails *_* (is dwelling, yes I know... But they were good! But anyway, onto the pictures! ( Follow the cut for (many) more Graffitti pics! ) Bwee! It's a Nikki <3 She's so cute and pink~ ( More dorrie pics under here ) Hokay, I think that's about all I've got for now... By the time Manifest comes up I'll take oodles of pictures of cosplays (including Pyramid Head >www<) and of the freebies I've been promised ^_________^ Look forward to it! ^.~ Current Location: Appartment Current Mood: Headachy Current Music: TV - Video Hits Tags: doll meet, graffiti, life, photo dump

02:23 am - Blood-Red Moooooon~! Did anyone else see the eclipse earlier this week? It was so freaking awesome! Blood red? Hellz yes! >wwwww< We ended up making a day of it (or night?) when Ash came to get me for groceries. We ended up stopping by to pick up Alex and Julie for some moon watching which was awesome fun! They gave me nougat ^_^ But because the eclipse took so long to happen we ended up going out for Japanese food... I tried squid O.o It was chewy but really good. I think I'd eat it again when we went back. But after food, we watched Alex climb some trees and collected some firewood and went back to his place for tea and fire and marshmallow roasting! I am pleased to report that I impressed the people there with my excellent marshmallow roasting skillz >D Then we spent the rest of our evening playing Smash Brothers. It didn't matter who won, so long as it wasn't Nathan XDDD Those guys are awesome hella fun~ But it's been a decent week in general... Sure there was stress about essays being due and that Teaching Prac starts next week and I had no placement (although I do now) but I still managed to have a good time despite that. Thursday game night kind of got bunked, but Alex came over and we had pizza. Ash was awesome enough to run a one-off Call of Cthulhu for us. I played a tabloid reporter and it was awesome! Even though I was almost digested by acid vomit in the back of an ice-cream truck ^__^;;; Friday Lurg day is always fun because I get to play Orpheus. Seriously? I need to start doing more art of those characters. And Ruben is going to be an absolute peach and push back game to 6 while I'm at rounds *_* Went out for tasty dinner with Ash and Pete. Yummy Italian followed by chocolate cocktails... *drools all over keyboard* SO GOOD!!! Dark chocolate with orange. I need to make a point of taking everyone that visits me to Koko Blacks when they come. Tonight should be pretty good too. Started off with stressing about money, but fancy dinner and good company should help fix that~ What to wear!? *grins* Perhaps I better finish getting ready and go off to meet the girls =D Although sometime later tonight (or more likely tomorrow) I will finally get around to doing a pic dump. Melbourne street art and pics from the Doll Meet I went to~ Plz to be looking forward to eeet! ^__^ Current Location: Appartment Current Mood: crazy Current Music: IIO - Rapture Tags: food, life, outtings

11:25 pm - To medicate, or to not medicate That is my question >.> Sometimes I hate being a girl more then I can express... PMS-y again, but I'm getting off much lighter this month. Only mood swings that aren't quite so extreme. Although being less prone to pissy moods would be great. I've got Orpheus in just a little bit, so that should help distract me. And after I'll me heading with Ash over to Ali's place for some movies she rented. Should be fun and exciting. Tomorrow is a Melbourne Doll-Meet... I want to go but I'm not sure if I should. The exact details of this meet escape me, but I'm under the impression that it's an excuse for friends to hangout. Considering how few people in that doll community I know, I don't even know if I'd be welcome *shrugs* I guess I'll see how I feel later and decide then if I'll actually go. But it would be great to see new people. In other news, I'm drawing again. It makes me happy to be able to produce polished pieces that I'm mostly proud of. Hopefully there will be some DA updates from me soon. That is all. Current Location: Appartment Current Mood: moody Current Music: Kamelot - Until Kingdom Come Tags: art, dolls, life sucks

11:28 pm - Urgh... I have the very unplesant feeling I'm coming down with something... Not good. Maybe eating fruit will counter the sick. Fingers crossed. Had a great weekend tho. Fridays are always awesome anyway because or Orpheus, but this week I also went out with Ash and Ali to watch Zodiac. Awesome movie. I like how the badguy wins because he never gets really found out or caught ^_^ Er... Well I would if it wasn't based on real events, because otherwise I'd seem like a psycho O.o Saturday I headed out to visit with Cheryl, JJ and Ryo for the day. It consisted of movies, Torchwood and Doctor Who, delicious pizza and OMGCUTEKITTENS!!!!! There was one that I wanted so hella bad *wantwant* A little white and gray kitty with blue eyes and was sooo cute. I wanted to take him home and smoosh his face and call him Husky D= *sniff* It's just not to be tho. Made it up to myself a bit when I bought comics on Sunday~ +Anima vol 4, xxxHOLiC vol 9, Truely Kindly by Fumi Yoshinaga <3 Although I still have a serious want for more +Anima, Embalmer and Lagoon Engine too. My fingers are crossed that Diz loves me enough to buy birfday pressie for me >D But most of Sunday was spent walking around the city and looking at street art. Melbourne is covered in the stuff! I took a bunch of pics and when I eventually get around to resizing and uploading them, I will make sure to post here. Must share the art love ^.~ In other news, I've been meaning to post some pics of Drayke and his new jumper. These have been uploaded for a while, but it kept slipping my mind ^^; And I was all pissy and not motivated to do it too. But here they are now! ( More pictures under the cut ) And now that all of that is out of the way... I need a new excuse to procrastinate my English Essay >.>; Current Location: Appartment Current Mood: busy Current Music: Within Temptation - What Have You Done Tags: busy, dolls, drayke, life

02:44 am - Soooo tired... I'm thoroughly exhausted and I couldn't be happier~ This weekend was full and awesome and one of the best that I've had yet <3 Friday was great because I finally managed to get down to LURG, and meet some of the people down there. Spent my afternoon hanging out and chatting with Ash. We went to the mall for a bit where I bought yarn and a vacuum cleaner. Oh! And I'm also starting in a game of Orpheus which = much fun! For those of you who are familiar with the character, I've decided to play Toboe in it ^_^ I really need to get around to drawing all the characters I'm playing lately <3 Saturday was hella fun because I headed out to spend the day with Cheryl. There were good times and burritos and Dexter, and pretty pretty anime~ Ryo showed me an episode of Gintama and I loved it lots and laughed so much XD Felt bad about leaving so early, but I had to go when Cheryl left 'cuz I didn't know how to get back to the station and it was already long dark by the time I got back >.< Today was great too, but soooo expensive! I got a call from Ash around 9am which made me get out of bed so we could go to Vic Market with Ali and eat some tasty Jam donuts and I bought bread and prosciutto. Then Ali and I went to DFO and I bought a new jumper, and some shoes and pants for when rounds start~ Oh! We also went to Max Brenner for some most delicious hot chocolate before heading back to our respective homes. I think I fell asleep on the tram... >.> On the bonus side, besides just having a wicked awesome and busy weekend, I should be able to go to sleep relatively early and easily tonight~ Will make for easier wake-up for tomorrow mornings class ^^; Although, I still gotta say that I'm so jealous of everyone back home with their Midsummers Meet XD *shakes fist at you* Make sure you post lots of pics to the forum! ^_^ Current Location: Melbourne Current Mood: exhausted Tags: busy, life, shopping

10:43 pm - X3~!!! Lessee... What have I been up to lately? Oh! Bought more yarn and some knitting needles. Have been just itching to make something for my dolls. I designed a whole bunch of outfits that I wanna make for Eidolon and Kitoko. And I'm actually in the process of knitting a hoodie-sweater for Drayke~ Should be mostly done by tomorrow! Just not really done... Because I forgot to buy buttons ;3; OMG!!! I learned how to make buttonholes for the sweater~ ^__________^ Imma post pics of it when it's done. And if it's any good >.> Also finally got a portable hard drive for my lappy. $160AUD and 150Gigs later... Jade is a happy user X3 Imma definitely need to get more musics and pictures and take more photos and get SOOO much anime! CALLING ALL FLIST! plz be to telling me what to d/l now that I has a space for it <3 I also found out some thing a bit depressing today. When I come back to OZ for my Masters, there's a course on Discipline that I really want to take. Like really really really!!! Only problem is that it's a summer course. So if I take it, most likely I'll only return home to Toronto for about a month before flying back out for school. Kinda sad considering how homesick that I've been feeling lately :( But I also just got some wicked awesome news that makes up for it! *_* Apparently Linkin Park is gonna be in Melbourne in October and I totally NEED to go see them perform~!!!!! I is very excited about that =D Current Location: Melbourne Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Kamelot - EdenEcho Tags: life

10:10 am - OMG PIKTORBS!!! Heh, well like the title suggests... Here! Have some pictures =D I've come to a realization that I suck at photography. I like taking pictures and although I can take some really nice ones of landscape and scenery, the ones I take of my dolls don't usually turn out so well. But I figure that with anything artistic the key to getting better is to practice. Practice composition. Practice posing my dolls. Practice just being able to take a picture that doesn't scream "EEK N00B!!!" D= So like I mentioned before: Here, have some practice pictures~ Normally I wouldn't want to post crap like this... But I'm actually kind of proud of these and would like to share. After all, who doesn't like a cute baby dragon? (who desperately needs wings and tail XP) ( Follow the cut for more pics ) Not sure yet if I'll post these anywhere else. If they don't get to the forum, you peoples consider yourselves lucky ^.~ Current Location: Melbourne Current Mood: artistic Current Music: Circle II Circle - Live As One Tags: dolls, drayke, pics

04:11 am - Gotta keep up this trend Another LJ update within several months of eachother? Obviously there must be something wrong with me ^.~ Back to school now~ Kinda missed the first half of Monday tho. I figured that I deserved the morning off after what had happened the night before ;;o;; Sarah Blasko's music was great! Really really good and I actually wanna go and d/l a bunch of her stuff. Only problem is, I also locked myself out of my apartment that night as well >.< Had a couple of Rum 'n Coke to cheer myself up and had a great time hanging out that evening with Ash and Ali. Ali's mum also made a wicked awesome roast for supper~ Mmm good... X3~!!! Alas, I was locked out of my building tho. I went with Ash to swing by the place and see if there would be a way to get back in. Unfortunately not so much T_T So he was nice enough to let me crash on his couch and give me a rip back in the morning. Thankfully it was hardly 5 min before someone came out and I could hit them up to let me back into the building. Took a bit, but I eventually managed to track down the key card. Thank GAWD! XD Ended up just chilling for a bit, having my morning tea. Eventually made it to campus but couldn't actually track down where my class was... So I went back to my apartment for peanut butter and toast and managed to find some people that were in my group and just followed them to where I was supposed to be. Tish, my supervisor for this semester seems like a lot of fun. She's a Drama teacher so she's got a tonne of energy and is really good at keeping our attention focused on what we're doing. I must say that all things considered, I'm looking forward to this semester. It bodes to be a good one~ BTW, if I haven't mentioned it to you... Go and watch 'Dexter.' Show about a serial killer that kills serial killers. Wicked awesome and I can pretty much guarantee that within the first 5 min you'll love it =D Dun know why I'm feeling so sleepy tho, even though it's not even 7... Ugh, shower will maybe help wake me up and then there is pie in my future. Mmm pie Current Location: Mlebourne Current Mood: restless Current Music: Kamelot - Bluger Tags: life, lock out

07:24 am - Apparently old habits die hard... First of all, I need to say just how embarrassed I am for how I've been acting lately. Beyond simply not posting, I got PMS bad this month >.< And having to talk/interact with people while I'm all crazy like is a wee bit humiliating once the mood swing has passed XP But despite any original setback, I've had a good day today~ Linz? You were right and I had a great time at the meet <3 Leira? I met people there that know you >D I almost didn't actually go, tho. Like I mentioned before I was totally PMSing and wasn't sure if I should skip out... But I dragged my ass out of bed and made it to the tram so I could be under the clock at Melbourne Central for almost 10 exactly~ ^^ It was pretty good timing in my part actually... Well, except for the fact that people weren't supposed to be meeting until 11 >.> I ended up chilling at Borders for the hour. Looked at some art for Song of Ice and Fire and actually found an info book on American MangaKa. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked up and saw the cover and was all like "Hoshitz! I totally know that artist! =O" Chibi's and various other people in Potter/Wizarding get-up was also amusing to watch ^^ But soon enough it was time to meet with people. Unfortunately once I got back to the clock I was met with a nearly fatal flaw in my plan: I didn't know who to look for... Thankfully, after 15-20 min of waiting I looked over at the group of people I was sitting beside and finally saw them taking out dolls. And I even managed to talk to them!!! I'm very proud of me for that X3 They were all really nice too~ Met a girl from Brampton who hadn't bought a doll yet, but is planning on a Tanning MNF Soo <3 After waiting around for and chatting for a bit we meandered to the tram and headed over to the Royal Botanical Gardens (which were beautiful and green and had black swans and eels O.o) and had more chatting =D This little meet-up was really small compared to the ones back home, but I was cool with that ^.~ It was actually arranged by someone who's writing her Honours Thesis on the hobby and she spent a lot of time talking with us individually and as a group. Honestly, I think that was my favourite part of this meet-up (well, besides from the obvious pleasure of meeting awesome and fun new people) It was great to talk about why we got into the hobby; what drew us to it, what keeps us there, what does it mean to us? As well as discussing some of the differences that vary from community to community. Talking about stuff like that will her really did help me to relax and soon I wasn't shaking anymore =D I kind of regret not getting anything to eat at the cafe, but I did have some Red Rooster later which was good. We all hung out for around 5hrs before heading back to the city center. A bunch of people went to Minotaur (must make special trip there for spending spree...), but a really nice girl showed me a good store where I could buy a new bra *is needing one very badly* and recommended some other big and cheap stores that I should also check out for various purchasing needs I might have *needs new shoes for teachingprac* All in all, it was quite the profitable day~ Met new people that were awesome. Will definitely attend more meets and find a way to carry Drayke with me too. And I bought two very cute and awesome fitting bra's. One was just beige push-up, but I also got a water bra that was lacey and blue with pretty white ribbon and a bow trimming it <333 It was so cute that I'm thinking of taking pics to show it off to people XDDD Tomorrow should also be pretty good too. I'm heading out to see some live music with Ash and Ali and I can't wait ^^ Note to self: Must get around to posting some of the pics from Great Ocean Road trip... Other note to self: Post here more... >3< That is all. Current Location: Melbourne Current Mood: pleased Current Music: Kamelot - Center of the Universe Tags: dolls, life, meet-up

04:27 pm - Getting better Well, I figured that I should post something up here because it's been so long since I have >.> Yeah, yeah. I'm lazy and forgetful XD But I'm really starting to enjoy myself down here! School is still good, but through some group-work assignments I met this really sweet girl that I've been hanging out with lately. She even introduced me to her boyfriend Asher, who has been running an Exaltetd game that he's let me in on. So much fun! The other guys in it too are also amusing to talk to ^_^ Lessee... Oh! This friday, after my tutorial session in the afternoon I will be meeting with another classmate and some friends of his to go check out the Melbourne comedy festival. Gonna go see this comedian Rich Hall. Should be all for the good times =D Oh! I also splurged on stuff for my DS~ Got a new cord so that I could charge up it's battery real good and can play again! X3 But the real gift to myself was the copy of Trauma Center I bought <3 Been playing it enough that I'm farther then I ever was before~ But the bad news there? I'm stuck again on that stupid triangle scale level XP Oi Finch! Did Sheena ever beat that? What's a good trick? >D Also gotta start making myself a new blanket. Winter is a comin' and I got a whole bunch of yarn that I can make into a nice warm blanket for cuddling in ^^ Just gotta go and get that crochet hook that I forgot to buy last time I was at the shopping center =P Go Team Me!!!

11:26 am - This is my life... All things considered, it's not so bad... But I am starting to feel more homesick then I thought I would. I miss my friends back home and family. But damn do I ever wish that I could have friends with some people here. Not always cooped up in my apartment or just sitting online desperate for some kind of social interaction. Yeah, my life does seem a bit sad right now. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm loving being here! The flat I'm in is quite nice, I've actually been cooking for myself more often then not (although I am getting tired of eating left-overs 3 days after the first meal). And classes, although they aren't incredibly busy now I can definitely see them getting much heavier later on as the year progresses.... I'm sure it would crazy help if the bloody internet connection was finally installed in my building >.< Maybe I would become a reclusive hermit and never leave because of the net, but I'm willing to take my chances? Actually, I have managed to make it down into the city for some sight seeing. Zhed, one of my online friends from Gaia, lives here in Melbourne and agreed to show me some of the sights around the city. I got to see some of the local graffiti and some of these really neat stores and alleyways. Plus we also went to the movies and watched a new Korean Monster Movie: The Host. Damn funny~! It's also good to know that the transit system isn't as difficult and complicated as I first thought. I should be able to make my way back down there with no problem! Fingers crossed that I can find someone who will want to go tour around and just hang out =P Wish me luck! XDDD Current Location: Library Current Mood: complacent Tags: city, life, melbourne
