New Poll

Apparently there’s a poem…

“The woods at night”

The binocular owl,
fastened to a limb
like a lantern
all night long,

sees where all
the other birds sleep:
towhee under leaves,
titmouse deep

in a twighouse,
sapsucker gripped
to a knothole lip,
redwing in the reeds,

swallow in the willow,
flicker in the oak -
but cannot see poor
whippoorwill

under the hill
in deadbrush nest,
who’s awake, too -
with stricken eye

flayed by the moon
her brindled breast
repeats, repeats, repeats its plea
for cruelty.

Dude... Wait, what?

The fire and the couch

Ok, so sometimes you try do something awesome for someone else and it ends up biting you in the butthole…  I think I just did such a thing.  I got my mother the coolest present I could think of, for her bday.  I got her a firewalk experience for two.  Here I was thinking she’d invite a good friend or my stepdad would man up and see it as an awesome challenge, but no.  She invited me along.  First of all, I have no problem in principle with doing a firewalk, but now there are only two appointments left and she wants to go to the one on Saturday… THIS COMING Saturday!  I’m looking forward to doing it and I don’t think a lot of people can actually say they’ve done this, but the mental preparation is not what it’s cracked up to be.  I did suspect she might ask me, as all the people she knows are old and unadventurous hehehe, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon.  Oh well, I can only see it as a great thing to do with the lady I love most of all (which means, sorry Lois Griffin, you’re just not good enough!).

Rest assured, there will be pictures!

 

I recently acquired the almighty powers of a credit card and I have to admit, I’m kinda shit scared lol I only got it because the bank wouldn’t give me a loan to buy this cute little couch I want.

I’m thinking the cat’s will have a ball!

The same bank, mind you, that just gave me a credit card with a limit even higher than the amount I wanted to borrow.  Makes a lot of sense, right?!   Anyway, the couch, which is ironically not one of the ones displayed on this page, will just be perfect with our small, sensible tv and playstation 1…  Now just to figure out what to do with the tie-dyed scatter cushions that I love so much.  I don’t want to put them away, as they remind me of my fave Image and besides, they also double as pillows.

 

Also, afore mentioned slutbag (which I say with all the love in my heart.  She’s not really a full on slutbag, more of a cute skankylilclutchbag…) is now living with us and I get the feeling that she might actually be enjoying it.  Our place is like a big people’s play house…  We don’t like referring to ourselves as ‘adults’. 

You get to come in any time you want, eat what you want, drink what you want and play computer or tv games till it comes out of your ears.  You know, that sort of thing.  Also, we are firm believers of feet ON the coffee table-  As long as they’re clean and not in anybody’s food.

 

That’s basically it, apart from Mele, our Chameleon having shed a few weeks ago and our car getting serviced, the details of which, I feel unnecessary to share!

There’s also Sydney’s dentist visits, but seriously now!!!

 

I leave you with the following:

That is all.

 

Ta-Dah!

I know I haven’t posted in a while and I promise to do so real soon, but until then…

Yeah baby!

And then there were two

It’s been almost two months since we moved into Casa Del AWESOME and it genuinely feels like a lifetime. Going home in the evening is like going to a holiday home. I love it!
So, Sydney and I have been officially together for just over two years and just last month I heard the elderly ‘ladies’ at my little brother’s 16th birthday party ask each other, “When is Nicky getting married? She’s not getting any younger, you know.” What a cliche!!!
Anyway, not because of them, but because we decided it’s time, Sydney asked for my parent’s blessing to get married. They of course jumped at the chance to give him a run for his money, the poor thing, but I didn’t expect any less. Also, on a related note, my gay friend Danie said he want’s to be the maid of honour! (not exactly his words… more along the lines of ‘head bitch’, I think he said)
Sucks to him, because I’ve already chosen my two bridesmaids. Monica and Celecia. I can’t wait to see what they’ll look like in the fairy outfits I want Monica to make for them :) hot fairies! Not too hot though, the bride has to be the prettiest hehehe
Now it’s the long wait for the ring.

It takes up to 30 days for delivery seeing as we’re ordering it from the states. Sydney said he want’s the exact same ring as his wedding band which is super cute and super geeky all at the same time.
Anyway, we are having the official engagement party at the end of November at our favorite restaurant, Crawdaddy’s and it will only be the parental units and us. I honestly can’t wait.
Just FYI, we don’t have a wedding date set yet, so don’t bloody ask lol

In the meantime I got the exact camera that I wanted :D Sydney bought me it and in return I bought him a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Needless to say we are both very satisfied. What can I say, we love toys. Especially the tech-y kind.

I also recently cut my hair…

Do yourself a favour and watch this movie.

That is all.

F-YEAH!

Greetings to all my loyal voyeurs *cough* I mean viewers!

I bet the three people out there that actually read my blog have assumed that I have tragically died in a freak Chupacabra milking accident and this means the end of random crap being posted on this page… You wish!

So, in the time I’ve been gone, many, many things have happened.
Our fat cat has gone under the knife and is now a sports model. Also, Sydney swears that he’s lost weight since ‘the incident’, but I still see him gorging himself on kibble when he thinks no-one is watching. That manic glow in his eyes, white foam in the corners of his mouth, the unearthly sound he makes when he notices me staring at him open-mouthed… That aside, we have also since my last blog entry, acquired the cutest little sewer rat. His name is Ash and he is the half, much furrier brother of Akuma/Fat cat. He is the most attention seeking creature ever to walk this earth, but he makes up for his CONSTANT annoyance by being very cute and cuddly and a complete little laser-pointer chasing slut :)
The three of them together makes an awesome pack. They play together, they sleep together (when Boo decides that she doesn’t have the strength to attempt a decapitation on Ash) hell, they probably hunt together as well.

We are also leaving the comfort of the cramped little hole in the ground we call our flat to move into a place about four times the size of the place we are in now. It’s still like two weeks before we move in, but I have been dreaming about living in the new place (which is a double story by the way, eat your heart out bitches :) ) since I heard there was a duplex available at the exact time our current contract runs out. What luck!

That’s roughly what our place would look like except we don’t have the nice dark tiles.
Just looking at it makes me crave Mexican food. Long story. Anyway, it’s even closer to both the university where Sydney works and my job as well and my friend Celecia stays literally right behind us. It’s a two bedroom duplex and it apparently has a swimming pool which I am yet to see.
So far Sydney and I are planning on using the extra room as a gym/bandroom which would be very cool, so I can get on with learning to play the bass. I guess that can only happen once he is finished with his dissertation and I am finished with my photography course. I’m just waiting for my road accident claim to pay out and bam! new camera she is mine!!!

As far as work goes, I no longer slave under Darth Vader. He now has a new victim and she has my dearest sympathies.
I quit that job and worked for the largest classifieds in South Africa called Junkmail. Don’t even get me started! I almost went from bad to worse on that one. Luckily didn’t last very long and very nearly bankrupted us, because apparently these folks are shy when it comes to delivering on promises. They make you work like a slave where you aren’t allowed to eat or drink at your desk, give you either a few short smoke breaks at pre determined times or a half hour lunch a day. That’s it. In my department you had to make at least 50 “effective calls” meaning you had to sometimes phone up to 80 or 90 companies to speak to the decision maker. Then the actual tricky part starts. Trying to convince the person on the line that they need to advertise their business with your business. The great thing is if you are a good sales person, you rope ‘em in at the end of the day, but see, here is the trick… The more money you make for JM the higher they push your targets, meaning you never get those sweet incentive bonuses they caught you with in the first place. Also, when you eventually pull up your pants, wipe away your tears and put your bra in your handbag and say, no more, they tend to pay you only half of your expected salary for that month and write it off as this and that and admin costs yadda yadda yadda. Buttholes!
Luckily now I am back at my old company, but in a different position, so I don’t have to work under Captain Kill anymore. The job is hectic, but bless me, I do love it. Or at least the money I make from it.

I just want to add that I did end up getting the Ipod and that it is most definitely the most magical device this universe has ever seen. I use it for everything! I mean EVERYTHING!!! I listen to music with it, I read from it, I study for my course with it, I use it for gaming, I watch Anime with it, I read comic books with it. I admit it, I <3 Ipod 4!

I leave you with this thought…
Game of Thrones/True Blood/Venture Bros/Naruto/Modern Family/Terry Pratchet/My car/My man/My cats/My Family/My family is awesome!!!

PPS, check the cool human calendar I added on the right side of the page! Funky.

-Bam! WINNING!

It’s the end of the month… FINALLY

Hey all,

It’s been a while since I got my Woods on, but I have been hectically busy colouring my hair for the first time, buying a “brand new” car rocking out at Rammstein (I think I actually once caught a glimps of the top of Till’s head from where I was standing) and actually trying not to get fired on my last month of probation. I had to make target two months in a row and gosh darn-it, I think I did it! Yay, no getting fired for me this month :)
Also, I got my earlobes stretched…

The spirally bit is the bit where I got stretched

and as mundane and noninvasive this may sound, I nearly shpoopled myself! It was one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever experienced and though I am very satisfied with the results, I think I’d rather get my arm torn off by a pitbull than go through that again!

It seems apparent that I might be getting a new Ipod Touch 4 on Saturday. Oh how I will love the piracy that will be at the mere touch of my fingertips.

On a totally unrelated note, my cat is fat and the gecko lives!
That is all.

Also, I love Deathnote.
