Guys! Please sign this!
Petition to save people in Tanzania with Albinism
What it is, is a petition to stop the kidnapping, mutilating, and selling of body parts of Albino people in Tanzania. Albino people are sold by money hungry assholes for up to 500 000 monies (I don't know the money unit for Tanzania, sorry). There is now a refuge for Albino's and their families, but it is becoming overrun with terrified, innocent people. Albinism can happen to ANYONE, and all it is is a tiny genetic anomaly which stops melanin (the stuff that colours your skin and eyes) from being produced. It's a normal genetic anomaly that has been around since the human climbed down from trees and started to use their ridiculous oversized forebrain.
Please use your decency as a human being and stop the atrocious murdering of innocent people for material means. Sign the petition and be proactive for once in your bloody lives.
Please sign!!! It may be one of the best things you can do sitting on your ass!
P.S. Check out this website: Information on Albinism
P.P.S. Not all albino people have red eyes - theyre usually slate grey or blue (pretty!). The camera flash, and their lack of pigment in their eyes, makes their eyes seem red, like when unaffected people notice their pupils being red in photos.
P.P.P.S. Mods, if this isn't allowed, please make an exception this once. Or, sign the petition and delete my post. One extra signature is better then none.

I have been lurking for a while, reading this and that, while never really having anything to say about anything or to anyone. I get like that sometimes, after a stressful period or what-have-you. I hope I am now able to return to a life worth living, instead of wallowing in my own depression and self-hatred etc., etc. Although born under the Chinese Zodiac of the Rat, I am buddies with the Pig - we both enjoy a good wallow (if only there were some nice mud *looks around hopefully* - bloomin' doesn't rain enough here in Oz for mud *grins*). Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. I am going o stop being depressed and wallowy now, and get back to being a bit more happy. Probably not as happy as before, just yet, but happier than what has now become my usual. If that tangent-y blurb makes any sense... (o_O)
Meanwhile, today began my first day as a novice motorcycle rider. I went to my old school, JPC (darned thing), and learned how to stop, go, change gear, walk a bike, turn, and other basics similar to that. It was alright...interesting to me, as I had never ridden before, but boring for the other four, as they had ridden before *ha, ha -sticks tongue out at them immaturely*. My instructor man, Hans, was pretty nice, and he kept his eye on me (he must know that I'm a tad of a rev-head), but I think I went ok. I stalled twice, and laughed at myself. It's so different to a car, yet so similar. Quite odd.
After that I went down to the beach - just to see what was going on - and it's flatter than the freakin' desert. Crazy. I mean, even my boat would have difficulties catching what Neptune is offering today. Maybe tomorrow I'll take my 'libu down. The moon will probably be a no-show tonight.
Egorr is now reatcing to his name! It's so good. I call him a couple of times, and he makes his way to me. I'm so happy with this. He is such a good boy when he wants to be. Meanwhile, me mate Arie has two miceys - Paisley and Margaret (I think...forgive me if I am mistaken matey)- I can't wait to meet them. Mice are cute. And, we have it straight from Bazza's (the handyman at WV - where we live) that they are ok. I mean, what's two mice and a rat, when we heard that Bazza once walked into a room filled with reptiles, their food (ie. mice), and fish!?! Crazy people. And, he walked in to a flat, and there was a ferret running around. A ferret is a bit much in a small flat like that. I can understand why people want animals though - since Egorr, I am so much happier at uni., just because I can be affectionate to something that's not inanimate. Anyway, enough of that *grins*.
Mum has been pissing me off a bit - but then, that's mum. She always annoys me four days into the holidays. I'll get over it I suppose. One day.
Anyway, that's it from me for a while. Catch you all later on!

Additionally, I watched Muriel's Wedding last night and I am still quite upset about it. The bit where Muriel's mum dies, and Muriel is looking through the photo album and sees her mum at her wedding, alone, at a table at the reception. I mean, how disgusting was that that Muriel was so involved in her own life that she couldn't see her mum was hurting and alone. And her mum died alone - from an overdose on sleeping tablets. She had no one at that point in her life. How shit is that family, and Muriel? They were all so involved in their own lives that they couldn't see the person closest to them was about to have a mental breakdown. I hate humans for their inability to care for anyone but themselves - and their inability to look further than the end of their noses. It is disgusting. It upsets me greatly. Anyway, that is all for now. Back to Psychology.

Dear Irisa,
As chair of the Duval College House Committee 2006, it is my duty to inform you that a formal complaint has been lodged against you in regards to an unacceptable standard of behaviour displayed by you at the recent 2006 Valedictory Dinner on the evening of Friday 20th October, 2006. The complaint surrounds your overall behaviour and the attitude you showed towards two Resident Fellows when you were warned about your table behaviour during the evening. The complaint was lodged to the College Principal and referred to the House Committee which is the Disciplinary Action Body of Duval Clooege. You will be called to stand before House Committee on the afternoon of Sunday 29th October, after 1pm in SPECS, so please make sure you are ready as you will recieve a phone call over the course of the afternoon to inform you of when exactly you are required in SPECS. Here you will state your case and it must be made aware that you are entitled to call witnesses who saw the alleged incident to support you at this meeting.
Please ensure that you front the House Committee on the abovementioned date please not that a suitable standard of dress is imperative.
Yours Sincerely,
Courtney Gilbert
Chairperson
Duval College House Committee
2006
Now fuck off.
- I don't know what the 'incident' is,
- I know that Marty (RF) told the table to shut up, but I didn't say boo to her,
- I was polite to Quasty (RF),
- Me, Arie, Dom, and Mitch were quiet during speeches, we only made noise at appropriate times, and we never got up during the speeches,
- We did not throw food (Tobiah did)
- We did not tell Marty to 'fuck off' as Josh did,
- Regan was talking on her mobile phone the whole night, during speeches - RUDE!!
- People knew we had recieved the letters before we had recieved them - Kat actually asked me at 10am this morning if I had got it yet...
Go Figure

NEVER overdose on Viagra. It is a vasodilator (der, as it dilates your blood vessels -> boner-time), and it lowers your blood pressure, and relaxes sphincters. That said, if you overdose, you won't get a boner, as there is not enough pressure to maintain blood flow, and you will shite yourself, as your sphincter relaxes. NOT A GOOD IDEA. ROTFL though.
Meanwhile, I'm going to see the stage production of Priscilla Queen of the Desert in November. Yay for me!
Also, there is a function on tonight, here at Duval, for the Valedictorians, or Valedicts. These are the peeps who are graduating next year, and one of my mates, Kat, is one of them. Half of her Law/Arts degree is over - the Arts bit - so she is a valedict. I'm happy that I can go for her though, as she has been a good friend to me and Arie, even though sometimes I have an internal bitch about her. I still like her a lot; she makes me laugh, and me and Arie make her laugh more. Its a great relationship. So, I am dressed already (50 minutes early - I always think I am going to take an hour, when I really take about 10 minutes, lol), so I'm posting and drinking some Bundy and cola. Yummo. Which I just dribbled on myself *facepalm/headdesk*. You can only laugh at the doofishness that is McGazza. Lol.
I also forgot to take back an overnight DVD - The New World - to Video Ezy. Bugger. the movie is kinda the love story behind Pocahontas...but better, due to the appearance/s of Colin Farrell and Christian Bale. Lovely. And the lass that is the female lead (Pocahontas(?)) is a cutey. Me and Arie both agree that the Native Americans had the right idea in how they lived. If only colonials had embraced the native ways, and not slaughtered them. We tried imagining what America, and the whole World, would have been like if the Native American way had been embraced, and we had such a difficult time doing so we were almost tripped out by it all. How can you imagine something you have never experienced?? It's difficult, as there are so many parameters that need to be considered.
I had a couple of Nurofen capsules before my alcohol, and so Im starting to feel the effects - yay - and I am listening to Iron Maiden. Love 'em.
Yeah, as I said above, I am going to see the production of Priscilla in Sydney in November. How fun! I'm doing it for me ma, as she said that she would like to go to a stage production, and so this is her Christmas present (and her 'getting over Roy present', but dont tell her that *grins*). We are going to stay at the Carlton Crest Hotel, near UTS, so that is going to be fun. I am really looking forward to it. Even though me and my ma don't get along all the time, I am going to try and get along, 'coz I'm all she has. It's a real kick in the ass when you realise you are the everything to someone. Quite scary. And I feel a tad guilty over some of the things I have said and done to her. Oh well. I'm going to make it up to her a bit. Until she finds a bloke to keep her occupied. Meanwhile, Ill get photos, and let you know how it all goes.
*****Hey Arie - Glenn is getting the ball photos, so Ill give them to you when I see you in the holidays*****
Additionally to that, I am all Glenn has too...besides Jessie (his bird), but that's different. Shit. I actually matter to some people.
The alcohol has taken effect. I am becoming introspective. I'll go now. *waves*

...but then, what's new?
Had class today - actually went - and they were physiology, pharmacology (lectures) and a physiology tutorial. I find them all quite interesting, but going to class reminds me that I should be doing more work. *shrugs* Oh well.
Meanwhile, I am trying to work out what units to do next year: I've four core units, biochem., human nutrition, microbiology and a physiology topic of choice, and four electives. Not sure what electives I will do yet, or if I can do the ones I want, due to timetable constraints. I want to do biophysics, genetics, and more physiology...Eh, I'll work it out tomorrow.
Also, during the holidays, we here at Duval, had a fumigation take place. As I didn't come back to uni. for a couple of weeks after this happened, my room now smells faintly of pesticide. I have the window open at all times, but I must not be getting adequate flow through my room. Bloody hell.
And, Wally decided to barge in here yesterday afternoon, with the excuse that the guy following him around like a pack-dog had the intention of a smoke/fire-alarm check. Hmmm. Whatever you think Wally. I know it was a check of how the room's are looking, judging from the quick scan of my room you did as I opened the door. You big fat poo-head you. After they left, I quickly rang Arie, to give her the heads-up on the situation, in case she had a poster or the like covering her alarm (major fine if you are caught tampering with them, and covering is 'tampering' apparantely).
I also think that me and Josh could be becoming good mates. Like how me, Arie and Tamsin are. Except he is a boy, and I'm a girl. Me, Arie and Tamsin are all girls, so there is a difference with that friendship. But you all know what I mean. I hope. Geez I rant on with crap sometimes. Yes, well, I came up with this tidbit today: Josh and myself were discussing his crappy previous relationships. Poor bugger has no luck. Either girls he gets along with well are not into sex before marriage, or girls who will have sex don't quite mesh with him. Similarly to Tamsin and Arie's escapades (or lack thereof) with that of the homo-sapien population in Armidale (NB. Due to the discovery that "homo-sapien" means man-intelligent (and we all now that there are no intelligent men anyway) I am now referring to male humans as homo-sapien, and female humans and horny-sapien. Quite accurate, I believe. Females being horny and intelligent. Fits better than the male version...). Anyway, back to my point. People in Armidale are useless unless they are friends with me. There is nothing wrong with my mates, just the people they are attracted to at this point in time. Hopefully everything will change when we escape this god-forsaken place.
My Topsy is the besterest doggy on the planet. IDAT.
My phone is obnoxiously beeping at me, informing me of its looming death due to battery drainage. Just because it can be plugged into an energy source and I can't *sticks tongue out at phone*.
Anyway, I have a day off tomorrow - my biochem. lecture is useless due to my lecturer not really knowing what the hell she is doing (so hence, I am not attending that lecture), and my pharmacology lecture is cancelled. Happy days. So, tomorrow I am going to work out what units I want to be enrolled in, and enrol, and finish off my (now) overdue assignments.
Yes, well, bye bye.

I have a mid-semester exam tomorrow. For biochemistry. I am crapping myself. I kinda know the stuff, but not in the detail I need to get a C or above. Me and Steve are trying to come up with a plan to 'assist' each other during the exam. Not cheat, but to jog each other's memories, 'coz we do know the stuff, just not well enough. We are silly buggers. Meanwhile, I have a gosh-darn 1500 word essay for pharmacology due on Friday. Happy, sleepless times.

Don't you just hate it when you have cramps so bad that they wake you up from a lovely sleep, only to not be able to go back to sleep due to incessant crampage and your melodic rocking in the foetal position trying to lose the crampage so to get back to sleep? No? Just me? Oh well...

Hi everyone! Long time, no write. I will be catci=hing up with all of you within the next few days, but at the moment I have conjunctivitus quite bad, so I can't read and/or focus for long, 'coz it hurts.
Meanwhile, just a quick, yet upsetting update: my pretty puppy, Topsy, had a stroke yesterday. Some of you know her, so I thought Id let you know. She did survive, however she is a bit off balance, and droopy now to her left side. So Im quite sad about that, and that I have to be 200km from her during her recovery. Although, she is 12 years old, almost 13, so she is doing pretty well for her first major health scare. Im going to post a few piccies here of her, just 'coz she's cute.
