December Daily - Day 03 - 50 Things To Be Happy About...
I wrote my own 50 Things To Be Happy About list. Do you like it?
I decided that my new Hard Work notebook would become my newest journal... probably another notebook that will go unfinished... but hey! I'm going to try!
We have a new photocopier at work... and it's pretty amazing, considering the one that we had previously. It's very flash, it's going to make work a lot easier! YAY!
We did the dreaded pantry clean out today. We have a lot of tinned corn, and beetroot! Weird!
I'm starting to sort out my New Years Resolutions... I'm no good at doing them... I don't really like calling them New Years Resolutions... so I think I might just do another yearly bucket list... (even though I've failed the last couple of years)
Stay tuned!

What A Week!!!
What a week!
And it's only going to get even busier.
First off, I don't know if I mentioned the job interview I went to.
Well... I GOT THE JOB!
A full time Childcare job!
I start when I get back from my holiday!
Which starts Thursday! I can't believe that this weekend I'll be on the other side of the country!
It's such a long way away.
PAX is going to be freaking awesome.
I'm going to try and just 'go with it'
and not get stressed etc.
Tomorrow I PACK!
I have done a test run, but I don't want to forget anything!
So tomorrow I pack for real.
And charge all my bits and bobs (laptop, DS, Camera etc.)
DON'T PANIC!
I'm excited and scared about my new job.
Starting any new job is scary, but I've never had a full time job before
and this one involves LOTS of RESPONSIBILITY!
I'm looking after peoples Children!
But I will think about when I get back from my trip.
Now I will think about:
GAMING
Taronga Zoo
PACIFIC RIM @ IMAX
Awesome things!
Stay tuned!

Benedict in Empire!
This is the UK cover. But the Australian Empire magazine has Chris Pine as Kirk on the front and then you fold the cover out to this! BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!
I'm so freaking excited for this movie, it's not even funny!
I start my childcare prac tomorrow.
I'm starting in the 3-5 year old room.
I'm scared, but excited.
I work 8.30 - 5.00 with 1 hour lunch break.
This week is also my last week at Target
Which means this is probably my last weekend for awhile :D
I will probably cry on Friday.
I'm also going to weigh myself tomorrow and seriously get my act together.
I also need to start thinking about buying flights to Melbourne for PAX.
I'm more excited about going to Sydney after PAX than I am going to PAX.
But no-one that exciting has been announced for PAX yet.

Fixing Life
I have 3 issues with my life at the moment:
My Job.
My Home.
My Body.
Today I did something about one.
I resigned from my job today.
I have mixed feelings about it.
I think it's time.
I'm going back to Blockbuster.
I will have to work nights and weekends, but I will have more shifts, and it's flexible.
I started TAFE today.
I'm looking forward to it.
I have prac all ready, I just have to go in and talk to the co-ordinator.
I really didn't want to leave my job, but every time I was there I felt depressed.
It's not a very good thing when you feel like that.
So going back to Blockbuster.
I just need reassurance that what I'm doing is right! :(
But now that I'm casual I can do some work for Kids Central.
And if I get a job in childcare, I won't have to give notice.
I'll be okay.
Just feeling very unsure.
But it will all be okay!
:)

Benny Salsa Merchandising
My iMac is at the computer hospital :( Apple recalled certain iMac hard drives, but at least I get a replacement for free. I've been having trouble with my hard drive for ages so YAY for new Hard Drive! Hopefully Benny will be back soon!! Look at the sad empty space where Benny once sat! :(
I tried my hand... or hips.... at Salsa on Wednesday night with my new awesome friend Katherine, and I failed so much! OH SO MUCH FAIL! I can't "wiggle my hips" and I'm so unco, that I ended up with MOTION SICKNESS! Motion Sickness from Dancing... and even thinking about it now makes me feel sick! I feel so bad, because Katherine really wants me to keep going, but it's really not my thing :D
In other news, I got another job. Just a casual flexible job doing some Merchandising :D I had my first "Journey" today and it went really well and I'm very please with the results :D
Anyway, just a little update post. I know I've been pretty slack with updates recently. Sorry :D

I Need Your Help With A Post!
So Little Jen from work is leaving, so they wrote on the staffroom board if anyone was interested in her job (20 hours a week in the Sound & Vision Bar) and I said I was... and well, I GOT IT!
I was on 13.5 hours a week. Now I'm on 23 hours a week (because they let me keep my Thursday night shift) that's 9.5 MORE permanent hours a week, as well as a 30c an hour pay rise! DANCE WITH ME!
But because of the new hours, it interferes with my other job (which I'm not a big fan of at the moment) so now I have to strike up the courage to go and discuss new hours with my boss. As annoying and (at the moment upsetting) that job is, I don't want to leave. It's good money for easy work. But I have found myself getting upset about it recently, things that, at the time, seem so bad, but after calming down, I realise they aren't that bad. BUT I'm not going to let myself be taken advantage of, the old Melissa might of, but NOT ME!!
I apologise for the lack of posts of late. I've started countless posts about various things, but either get sidetracked, realise you probably don't want to read 1000 words about how sad I am, or just can't seem to find the right sort of content.
I'm working on a post at the moment called "Must-watch Brit Coms part 2" but I've hit a little bit of a wall. So I need your help.
What are your favourite British Comedies?!
let me know. write a little bit about it, and I'll add it to my list :) Then hopefully I'll have enough to write about :)

Awesomest. Day. EVER!
Today is the awesomest day ever!
First off I got a new job... well I'm still at my current workplace, but now I get to work in the Soundbar with the DVDs/CDs/Games/Tech. It's the prefect and most logical place for me to be :)
Secondly, the awesomest thing I've ever ordered arrived in the mail. I had to set up a US address to get it, and I was worried that it would just disappear into oblivion and I'd never see it... but it arrive. An Official Severus Snape wand. It came in a collectors Olivander wand box, and it weighy and doesn't feel like a cheap knock off.
Thirdly (and this is the most awesome thing that has happened this year, by far) I have a new cousin :) Yep, my aunt had her baby. We knew that it was going to be a boy, so the surprise was going to be the babies name... and I'm so excited. I now have a SETH in my family. How awesome is that!?
So new job, new wand and a new family member. Awesomest. Day. Ever.

A Book Without Pictures :(
I should get my new iPhone 4 tomorrow. I'm very excited. My iPhone 3GS is at the end of it's contract and is moving on... to my little sister... even though my dad said he wanted it, my sister was the first one to ask. iPhone 4 is yet to be named... but I am thinking.
I'm also becoming a jet setter... well kind of. I'm off to Perth next week for training for my work (Albany and Regional Volunteer Service) I'm flying up Wednesday morning and flying home on Thursday night... ALL EXPENSES PAID! How freaking awesome is that. As far as I know the training is on Thursday, but I'm not sure about Wednesday... I may, possibly have the whole day to do whatever I want :) I sense a shopping spree coming on... Who's excited???
You can't really post interesting posts without images :) I might get a tattoo while I'm in Perth.... or not, I'm really not sure what I'll do with my spare time.... if I even get any. My boss will probably turn around and tell me I won't get any :( Fingers crossed.

I DID IT!
I resigned from Blockbuster. I'm not on the roster anymore. I actually did it.
I went in this morning, before the store had opened and spoke to the Boss, I asked him if he needed a letter, and he said yes. He didn't seem that surprised. I had a little cry in the car afterward, but I would rather not be working there than working there. When I dropped my letter off after work at Target, Boss had already done the roster and I wasn't on it. It was kinda sad, because when I talked to him in the morning, I said I was available to work the next fortnight.
I feel sad, but also relieved to be out of there. I'm going to miss working with everyone, and I'm going to miss working there... sometimes. Last night was my last shift, and it was pretty much one of the worst shifts I'd ever done. Every customer complained. Every customer asked me stupid questions... customers are stupid. But when I had finished counting out the money and turned off the lights, I stood in the dark store for a minute and said goodbye (for good this time) I had every intention of resigning today, and instead of it just being talk... I actually did it. I'm actually proud of myself for doing it. And it's not like I'll never see any of them again, it's still my video store. But I did have to pay full price for my DVDs :( and I don't get previews anymore... and I won't be able to steal a Tron:Legacy poster... I'll have to ask Nigel nicely.
We start moving tomorrow. House settlement is set for 11am. Then the house is ours, so stay tuned for photos of empty house. Like I've said many times before, it's very scary and exciting. It's a big change, but this change is good. I realised last night as I was lying wide awake in bed that it's been about 5 months since Mum moved out. 5 months, it's gone so quickly I hadn't really noticed, is that bad? I really miss having her around. I miss the times I get upset at night and get my sister Alex to go get her for me. I miss that, I don't miss the midnight panic attacks, just the comfort, I miss knowing that she's right upstairs when I need her.
Anyway, that's my emotional mini rant/ramble for tonight. Tomorrow is the start of a new era for me. SCARY!

About life, packing, tweens, going to the movies and internet free weekend.
So completely over my emo state I had earlier this week. Sorry about that, I actually lost a follower :(
Starting to get back into it. Life is starting to sort itself out. Still have no idea when we're moving house, I have a rough idea, but if that rough idea is correct, it's in 2 weeks time, which is pretty scary. I've asked dad, but he doesn't know anything about it either.
My work situation is getting better. Hopefully soon I'll be getting 25.5 hours a week, working 2 jobs. But I'm really unsure if I actually want to leave Blockbuster, but I really don't want to work nights or weekends anymore (and they're the only times I'll be available) I don't want to have to pay to rent movies :)
I started writing lists of things to do and organise. Like change of address! What a bitch that is going to be. And the packing is still pretty much none existent! But most of the stuff that still needs to be sorted are things I use day to day, and things that will probably get thrown out.
Just watched the music video for Friday by Rebecca Black. seriously, apparently she's the next "Justin Bieber" all I can say is. SERIOUSLY CHILDREN! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY REAL MUSIC TASTE? ARE YOU TONE DEATH? Wow... Just wow. My opinion, don't waste 3 minutes and 48 seconds of your life, just don't watch it. You've probably heard it played a bazillion times on the radio by now anyway. This chick makes Justin Bieber seem not that bad (yep, that's my official statement... There is now someone worse than Justin Bieber)

PICSPAM TIME
I might go to the movies tonight. I really want to see Battle: Los Angeles. It looks pretty epic. I wish I had friends that were actually interested in Sci-Fi movies... plus would actually pay to go see a movie at the cinema. "It's so expensive... blah blah blah... bitch bitch bitch" seriously $15? You don't HAVE to buy anything from the snackbar. You pay your $15 and go and sit down... that's it. You get to see a movie in the best quality, the only way you'll ever get to see a movie in that quality again is to pay 10s of thousands of dollars to buy your own cinema setup. SERIOUSLY... $15! It's going to cost you more than that when you go to the pub instead and get so drunk you don't remember what you did. Seriously... and I'm the weird one because I want to spend "heaps" of money going to the cinema. Hmmmmmm! What ever!
Anyway. I'm going to try and have an internet free weekend. The plan is tonight fill my ipod with music and actually TURN MY COMPUTER OFF, instead of just putting it to sleep. And see how long I can last without my computer/internet. See you on Monday... or sooner, depending on how much fail I have :)

I've Given Up Thinking Of Names
Back at work today, and what a day. At 8.45 this morning it was 28 degrees Celsius. 28! at 9am... in ALBANY! Blasphemy. I was awful, I was so glad that I was going to work... nice air conditioned work, where I can stand at the checkout, under the air con and just be cool all morning... WRONG! I got to work, served one customer and then was asked to help put stock away in ladies ware. I'm not complaining, it was a pretty awesome job, I loved it, but all the moving around and carrying clothes made me very hot and sweaty. It was gross. But I did enjoy it, and when I was finally called back to the checkouts I only had 45 minutes left of my shift. YAY!
When I walked out of work it was hot, probably mid thirties, but it was very gloomy, and the second I got into my car it bucketed down, and the second I pulled into my driveway at home there was a huge crash of thunder, and it's pretty much been rainy, hot and thundery since.
Currently (it's 8pm) there are cars coming up our normally quiet street. The highway has been closed because there has been a crash. When I went to get my sister dinner at 7.30 there was 2 ambulances, 2 fire engines and 3 police cars. From what I saw, there seemed to only be one car, but they did have the jaws of life out. I hope everyone is okay. But do you know what pisses me off... the 50 or so people crowded around watching, with the phones out taking photos. It makes me sick. I just drove past, I didn't park my car and then go and take photos. If I was ever in a car crash and had to be cut from the vehicle I would hate the fact that people are taking photos of me, and sending them to their friends, or posting them on the internet. Sometimes, people sicken me :(
Anyway, the general message I'm trying to get across is... IT'S HOT!

Currently Downloading Season 4 of LOST, for one reason....
...This Man...
Martin Keamy
played by Kevin Durand.
Today was my first "real" shift at Target.
I got to standing at the entrance and say hello to everyone.
and check their bags.
and generally be nice and smilely.
for 5 hours!
it was awesome.
I had a conversation with an older man about DVDs for about 40 minutes.
then he left.
then 2 hours later he came back because he wanted to tell me about a book series.
a series by Janet Evanovich.
I'm having a look now.
He was such a nice man.
Him and his wife travel around australia in a motor home.
I'll do that one day.
Off to Weight Watchers now.

Last Day Of Winter 2010
Today is the last day of Winter, and in true Albany fashion.... it's raining. But it will be raining tomorrow too, so it's not a big deal. Spring time. My birthday is in Spring. I will have to start thinking about my party. I'm thinking of making it a "famous people of the 80s" party.... singers, actors, iconic characters etc. I want to be HM Murdock from the A Team. =D
Had a job interview at Target today. It's for a part time, checkout/door position. Wed 10-3, Thur 5-9, Fri 1-5 & Sat 1-5. 17 hours a week. I hope I get it, It will be good to have set shifts, and hopefully I'll be able to work Blockbuster around it. Fingers crossed. I should hopefully find out by the end of the week.
I also did a little bit of shopping. First I bought something completely awesome.... well 2 of the same thing, off ebay....
Yep, that's right. I ordered 2 Murdock (Sharlto Copley) action figures. One will stay sealed (because I'm a nerd) and one I'll open =D I can't wait. it was $36 for both, including postage from the UK.
I also finally got my hands on 2 DVDs I've been chasing for months. They were advertised in the Target catalogue last week, but when I went in last week I couldn't find them, well today, after my interview I wandered around the store and found them...
Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs. This show is on ABC2 almost every night, and it's gross, but hilarious. My mother and I have a crush on the host Mike Rowe. I did a little post about it a couple of months ago. If you have a chance, check it out.
I'm going to get back into the 30 Day Project. I completely forgot about it. The next post will be Day 14 - A non-fiction book. I know what I'm going to do. I just need to get some photos. Expect it soon.
I also bought a copy of Hot Tub Time Machine on Blu-ray. I've been cutting down on buying movies and only buying movies that I really like, and I loved this film. I can't wait to watch it again, but because it's Blu-ray it will be a little harder, because the blu-ray is in the living room. I want The Book of Eli too, but Target didn't have any copies left, and I wanted to buy it for $29, as opposed to $39.95 every where else. I know I should be "supporting" local businesses, but as far as I see it, without Target, over 100 people in this town wouldn't have a job.
Gary Oldman is the best bad guy in the business. I love him as Zorg in The Fifth Element (that's another movie I need on Blu-ray)
YAY! just got an email saying that my Murdock figures have shipped. BTW, I finished Season 1 of The A Team last night. I loved the last episode when the team were in their military uniforms. Murdock looked so handsome =D I tried to find a picture, but I failed =( You'll just have to watch the episode for yourself, it's called "A Nice Place to Visit" it's the last episode of season 1.

Murdock looked so handsome =D I tried to find a picture, but I failed =( You'll just have to watch the episode for yourself, it's called "A Nice Place to Visit" it's the last episode of season 1.

Melissa is...
... waiting for The Pagemaster to download. Do you remember it? I remember watching it in my primary school library during a rainy lunchtime. My little sister messaged me last night asking if we had it at Blockbuster. (fyi she now works at Video Ezy... we're slowly taking over the world) and I thought... "we have fast internet now. I'll download it" but because there isn't many seeders it's really slow. Hopefully it will be finished so I can watch it tomorrow.
Also, this is slightly random, but completely awesome. Nigel (at work) signed up a new member. After he left Nigel showed me the membership form.... Dean Winchester. I know right. OMG. For you that don't get the sheer awesomeness of this (shame on you) Dean Winchester is a character in a tv series called Supernatural, played by Jensen Ackles. (below - he's the hot one)
Nigel was saying that Dean (Albany Dean) can't get facebook, because of his name, which I think is a load of poo, because Albany Dean was around a lot longer than Supernatural Dean.... and plus Supernatural Dean isn't even a real person.
I really should start watching Supernatural again. I only made it halfway through season 1, but I really want to see the angel (whatever his name is) because I'm constantly getting spammed on Tumblr about him.

Look What I Found
I actually found my old blog. And it's still online. It's from May 3rd 2005 to March 1st 2007. I can't believe it's still there. The only problem is I don't know the password to get into it, because that email account was hacked, so I changed the password, and well, I can't remember what it was. It's quite fun to read it. It's reminded me of some dates that I had forgotten.
I'm 2 days into my 9 day working week and I'm over it. I just want to go to bed and sleep until Melbourne (which is 2 weeks away, tomorrow) but then if I slept Emma probably wouldn't have much fun in Albany on her own.
Since finding out that Matt Bellamy wrote Soaked by Adam Lambert. I have listened to it 26 times.... in a row.
2 weeks tomorrow (at 6.15am in the fucking morning) I will be boarding a plane on my way to Melbourne. I'm planning on Tweeting the whole trip, so if you aren't already following me on twitter, please feel free to add me.... I'm so excited about Melbourne, and getting to spend the trip with my friend Tahlia. We are going to go shopping crazy. I don't think the fact that I'm actually going to the TIM BURTON Exhibition has hit me yet. I'm going to see costumes, actually worn by Johnny Depp, and I'm going to see drawings actually drawn by Tim Burton, and if all goes to plan, and all the dates are correct, there may be a chance we'll see/meet TIM BURTON is person =O
Tim Burton is my all time favourite Director and everything he has created, not just his movies, but his books are amazing. I hate the way people judge me when I say I'm a fan of Tim Burton. "Ohhh you must be a wannabe emo then if you like Tim Burton!" I want to punch them in there preppy faces! Just because I like Tim Burton does not make me "Emo". Anyway I have loved Tim Burton way before "Emo" was even a thing. Anyway.... there is pretty much no such thing as "Emo" anymore. I'm hoping (but not getting my hopes too high) that there will be Tim Burton merchandise, in particular the book "The Art of Tim Burton". It's only available online from America and the UK, and they both want $140 just for fucking postage. Apparently the book is quite quite large and very heavy, about 3 kilograms. So hopefully I will be bale to buy a copy in Melbourne, and then hope I don't go over the baggage excess =D
I'm off to watch the episode of Glee directed by Joss Whedon and featuring Neil Patrick Harris.... FUCK YEAH!

Hello Winter
Hello Winter, I've missed you!
My Once Upon a Concert Outfit set I made for this contest on Polyvore... WON! I came first. I'm very excited. I hope you like it too =D
In other news, I've gone Bear Grylls crazy. I have spent the last hour going on a right-click-athon, saving nearly every photo of Bear Grylls I could find. I'm addicted. I even rented Man Vs Wild today, and am even considering buying season 1-4 off eBay... but I'm not, because I NEED money to go away with. And since I haven't even thought about accommodation in Perth yet, I'll be going to Melbourne with even less money. Anyway.... I'm going off topic... BEAR GRYLLS...
YUM.
Have you noticed the Flag counter at the end of my blog? Someone from Finland visited my blog. I wonder if it was Ville Valo? I've had 48 unique blog hits since I put it on (which was only a couple of days ago) that's amazing. So if you're visiting and reading this, feel free to comment, you don't need a blogger account to post comments on my blog. I would love to hear from you.
I've started a new page. I was inspired by Nat @ XL as life! so I created a Scrapbook 2010 page, which will have all the movies/books/tv shows I watch starting today. My Movielist failed epically when i forgot to keep it up to date. My Bad.
What am I going to do for the next 2 days. I don't have work until Friday (which incidentally is my sister's 21st birthday YAY!) Maybe I will make her a cake (don't tell her!) I'm sure I will think of something. I might rug up and go adventure. Geek vs Wild!!!

Untitled For A Reason.... Well Not Really.
Hello world...
Today my best friend has been the refresh button on Apples' website.
I've practically been sitting here since I finished work @ 1pm. waiting for my order status to change from "prepared for shipment" to "shipped" but alas, no such luck.
Most Australians waiting for their iPads' have been doing the same thing. I'm surprised that apple.com hasn't crashed yet.
Work went super quick today.
There was an over abundance of people. There was Caroline and I, then Cohen (whose autistic, but completely awesome) then his helper Kelly, and Jess who was there assessing Cohen, and then Cody arrived at 10am for his shift, and to finish it all off, Boss, but he stayed in his office. There are 3 computers, 2 of them have cash-draws. So I got to do a stock take. I think I served 3 people during the whole 4 hour shift.
i ♥ futurama
I might watch The Chronicles Of Riddick tonight.
♥ Karl Urban is pretty ♥
Want proof?
You shouldn't need it. Because it's true.
:)
Things to do tomorrow:
Clean Room
Sort Clothes into KEEP, DONATE & THROW piles (and be ruthless)
Tidy desk area.
Sort DVDs (this will take forever!)
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I will probably procrastinate the whole day and not end up doing any of it.
I can't wait to see this movie. I haven't seen ANY of the others, but this one has Adrien Brody in it, and that's an automatic "wanna see it" from me.
Does he look hot covered in mud and gunk? or is that just me?
I started this post @ 4.30pm and it's now 8.04pm.
I think it's time to say goodbye and go and watch The Chronicle Of Riddick.
bub-bye

Once Upon A Time
Found this set on Polyvore. It has got to be the most awesome set I have ever ever seen. PLUS there is more. 'Basically not here' makes the prettiest sets. I hope she doesn't mind that I pretty much faved them ALL!
I have managed to download .epub copies of all 7 Harry Potter books, hopefully they'll work on my iPad. I have 23 ebooks in iTunes at the moment. They include works by JK Rowling, Douglas Adams & Chuck Palahniuk, as well as some classics.
I have just realised that I'm actually working tomorrow morning. Thank god I remembered now or I would of forgotten, and it's one of my greatest fears.... missing work! I'm such a Workaholic (Sims 3 trait).
After over 2 years of blogging I'm starting to have real trouble coming up with titles for my posts. I'm such a retard.

Stupid WOW Raids
Today was suppose to be my day off.
But NO, I get called in because someone (who may I add looked perfectly fine yesterday) is suddenly sick. Or maybe he has another WOW raid! GRRRR! I said NO to him when he rang, but then my boss rang, and I really can't say NO to him.
When I told dad I was working he said "you're getting closer to getting your iPad" hahahaha. I must of really went on about it.
I really don't want to go to work. But it's too late now, because I start in an hour. It's only a 4 hour shift, so I really shouldn't complain. And it is $72 extra dollars towards my trip.
My Sims 3 family is going well. My original Sims, Nick and Vita are long dead and now have great great great great grandchildren. 6 levels in the family tree. But I'm starting to get bored of them, and the fact that most of their surnames are Clown (it was the name of one of the males my "daughter" married) is rather annoying, but I like the girls to take the boys names when they get married, and well most of the "children" have been boys =(

I Love Lists
Didn't do much today.
Got up around 11am and had to be at work by 1pm so I only had 2 hours to shower, have "breakfast" and get ready, I know it may seem like a long time, but it really isn't.
Work was crazy. We had the new movies come in, so those had to be done.
Then got home at 5.30 to see that my little sister finally has carpet and has moved into her room. She's in there now stacking shelves and filling drawers (trying to get me to help)
I've joined a new LiveJournal community, to try and get some inspiration of the creative kind.
embodiment is a community to display all your beautiful journals (real ones, non-online one) It's full of some very beautiful journals and I'm hoping it will inspire me to create my own.
I've started a list of things to look up once the internet is back to full speed. Are you interested??? No... well who cares =P
This is one of my personality traits that makes me a NERD. ={
I'm excited, because I found my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet last night. I had lost it, and couldn't find it, but it was in the bottom of a bag that I had packed away. I didn't realise I had 4 charms. I thought I only had 2, I forgot. I have a "M" a cross, a cat women mask and a razor blade. I'm thinking of putting a couple of different ones on lay by, because the bracelet looks kinda bare at the moment, the problem is the charms are pretty expensive, and I'm kinda saving up for an iPad. I really shouldn't spend money =D
