My past few blogs have been a bit downer, which is totally not like my usual style. But hey even the most unemotional of us can get down some times.
On the weekend, following suit to this hung parliament business the AFL Footy Grand Final was a draw. And when it is a draw we don't go into overtime. They come back and do it ALL AGAIN the next week. So we didn't have a government for a while and we don't have a premiership winner when there is meant to be one.
I made a bet on the election which just got paid out because of this mix up, and I considered putting a bet on a draw. I thought that would be stupid and didn't "waste" my money. I potentially would have made a LOT of money because the odds were so, so low. I guess I can't kick myself for something that I never had.
I have a few bets with friends riding on this match and it's very annoying I have to wait another week for my pay out (because obviously the saints will win) It actually really stuffed things up because had we lost I would have gone shopping this Saturday for alcohol for my birthday. But now I can't because we won't know the winner til about 5:30pm Saturday night and I don't want to buy some if i'm going to be winning some!
If the Saints lose, I am leaving the country, along with everyone that's not a feral magpies supporter.

I Wish
I wish I wasn't so scared of this.
I wish you were more understanding of this.
I wish we hadn't met until we were 25, and weren't going through this.
I wish I didn't know you existed, until I was ready for this.
I wish you were more understanding of this.
I wish we hadn't met until we were 25, and weren't going through this.
I wish I didn't know you existed, until I was ready for this.
I Miss
I miss the way I used to be.
I miss the way you used to be.
I miss the way we used to be.
I wish I was still me.
I wish you were still you.
I wish I didn't hate you.
I wish I were different.
I wish you were different.
Then I wouldn't hate you, and you wouldn't hate me.
I wish I wasn't repeating the same again.
It's a different me.
It's a different you.
It's the same us.
I miss the way you used to be.
I miss the way we used to be.

Democracy Fail
I think I mentioned a few posts ago that we had an election, that was a complete fail, and we had no parliament for weeks. We now have a government, which I suppose is a good thing, but I feel completely gibed of democracy.
In Australia it is compulsory to vote. Some question the validity of a democracy where you are forced to vote, I question to validity of a country where not every adult has had a say. If you can't be bother to go and vote, you don't know who is choosing for you and you end up with a horrible president that the masses complain about who was voted in by a select few. How is that democracy?
On election day, which is ONE day, not different days for different states (again this just makes sense to me) you head down to the local Primary School, Childcare Centre, Church or Hall that is a polling booth and get your name crossed of the electral role. It is pretty easy to go to different polling booths and say that No I haven't voted at another venue in my electric or go and absentee vote (so yes I see the democracy fail there). They don't even check your ID so it is possible to go and vote for someone else whose name, address DOB you can recite if questioned (Just like memorizing the details of your fake ID). Surly it is time to have some kind of real time computer system to curb this problem.
What happened this year is a huge mass of people decided to donkey vote. Either filling out the forms incorrectly or adding "funny" boxes to the ballot like "Kevin Rudd" who is out outed previous PM (overthrown by some backstabbing ranga from his own party....who has the same policies but will somehow be a better leader) or "Bart Simpson".
Because of these people we had no government for a while. One party did receive more votes but they would not give them the power, they allowed independents to choose sides and form the government. Through this process we have a government. This was not the government that the majority of the people wanted, effectively TWO PEOPLE voted in the election. This is a complete democracy fail!!

The 4 phases of Costume Parties
Costume parties are a great idea in theory; much like communism and love. But in reality they don't work. I've identified the 4 phased of a costume party.
Phase 1: Excitement
You receive the invite and are excited about all the possibilities of what you can wear, and who will go as what. Your brain gets flooded with ideas.
Phase 2: Stress
You soon realize that a costume will cost money. And you don't want to spend $80 on something you will only wear once and return.
You start thinking that you are not tall/ short, skinny/ fat, blond/ brunette, tan/pale enough to go as your chosen character and don't want to look stupid. You begin to stress because something that seemed to have many possibilities now only has a few that are feasible for you to pull off.
Phase 3: The Choice
You decide on a costume and either buy it or make something yourself.
If you've made a costume you discover that the raw materials, time and effort have actually cost you more than hiring a costume would have. You become stressed and angry that the costume isn't turning out the way you wanted because you forgot you have no talent, and have no idea why you thought that you did.
Phase 4: The Party
Someone else at the party is wearing the same thing as you and looks better. You feel like an idiot. You drink lots and have an awesome time.
You remember that so and so's costume party was loads of fun and the next time someone has one the cycle begins again.
I think if I have to buy/ make a costume for your party, you get a crappier present than you would have otherwise : )

Boo Hoo
Aw I lost a follower today. Clearly they are anorexic and I offended them. Or thought that I was a pro Ana blog and that last post made it blatantly obvious to them that I was not.

"Pro Ana" Blogs
People are morons.
I've spoken about how a psychologist has told someone who used to starved themselves obese. Now that is dumb.
I don't understand how people training to be councilors can have pro ana blogs. And put their name and email address up there. Any one going to hire you for a job will google you in this day and age and think hmmm maybe we don't one someone fucked up to fuck up our pupils more.
Also looking at "tips" for how to avoid people knowing you haven't been eating. Your tips are shit. I've gone through that myself, and I'm not going to give anyone else tips, but what I came up with was much more intelligent than your ideas. Such a shame you didn't have a brain to begin with and now you are ruining it even more.
Your idols are people that had eating disorders and went to a facility for treatment. I'm sure they would tell you exactly the same thing I feel, that what you are been with these blogs are been idiots. Have fun when you're underweight, growing hair on your arms/ hands while your body tries to insulate, been left unable to have children, feeling miserable and terrified of food, unable to eat or go out into social situations where food are involve and over all looking horrible. All because you went onto a website and did this to yourself.
Maybe I will go write a website with details on how to get aids if you people love trying to get illnesses so much.

Things I have learnt from my mother part 2
A long time ago I posted things my mother has taught me. Let's continue with what else she has taught me, and why you should be surprised I'm this normal.
Gay people who have kids aren't really parents
So she is very against gay couples, it's wrong, unnatural etc. I do not agree with her one little bit on this, and if I had of been gay I would be so far in the closet and have a mental break down from all the emotional trauma.
Luckily I am not gay so she hasn't sent me off to one of those straight camps where they beat and pray the gay out of you.
There has been a lot of debate in the media lately about gay couples adopting and if it's the right thing to do. Yes these kids may be messed up but hey who isn't? Isn't parenthood about taking a beautiful, innocent baby and fucking them up in as many ways as possible? Or is that just my parents? Then there is the debate that single parents are doing the wrong thing because there is no male influence in the childs life, is that a valid argument against lesbian parents? Who knows.
I guess you just let it happen and see if the kids are messed up.
But mum's debate is some what different. Her view is that even if it's not adoption, even if it is one of the members egg or sperm it's not really their child. Well genetically is 100% is their child!! 50% of it's DNA is there's meaning THEY ARE THE PARENT. If that came up on Maurie he would be saying "YOU ARE THE FATHER"
What makes this even more stupid, is that she thinks that children who are adopted are 100% their adoptive parents. yes they are, legally, emotionally everything that is your parent, but how can you say that DNA doens't count if they are gay?
Potatoe Gems are healthier than potatoe
I've been eating really healthily lately and try to limit my carbs. But I decided to have potatoes one night. I was going to cook them in the pan with a tiny, tiny bit of oil. Mum told me that it was unhealthy. That I should have potatoe gems instead.
Yes I am sure that DEEP FRIED potatoe gems are healthier than eating potatoe with a little canola oil. This woman clearly has NO brain.
Understand my rage now?
