There's this question line that me and George found fliers and stickers for all over uni, and decided to ask all these different questions, but the most fun questions were finding out about our friends. so...here's the dirt!

Psychoanalyze Yourself; Don't read ahead, just answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means at the end. (No cheating! )

1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who is with you?
Reece

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
tiger

3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
stop and stare at each other, then keep walking

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is:
a huge paddock with the sun shining that overlooks some mountains

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
yes

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
family size wooden table with wooden chairs to match and a neat, old-style house with kitchen right next to the table

The ANSWERS

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important to you
(Reece, of course)

2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.
(a huge tiger? yep, that's about it)

3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
(so I walk away from my problems and don't handle them)

4. The size of the object is representative of the size of your ambitions.
(huge ambitions then)

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
(fence. closed personality)

6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
(unhappy it is)

7. The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
(bloody durable, this plastic cannot break and shatter like glass!!)

8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude.
(i walk away from things)

9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.
(medium...?)

10. The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be
(a nice leisurely boat ride)

1. a red mini with a white (or union jack) roof, old style, preferable under 3 grand.
2. a black russian blue x kitten
3. a 2 bedroom house close to a train station with large rooms to rent for next year
4. a website design job for next year
   

I was just looking up a whereis map and then copying it to put routes over the top of it (to work out how to ride there in the morning) when I realised, Camberwell isn't the closest station to me and I'm riding completely too far! (but still will ride too far because I don't really know this station well). Take a look for yourselves!

my shopping list for ikea. saving time!!

I can cross off the:

• storage boxes
• clothes rack
• chair
• organisers

I am so exhausted. I'm so exhausted and overly emotional and I can't deal with anything right now so I'm going to bed. I can't be bothered serving pancakes tomorrow at RMIT. I really need the money though, and going to Spudbar straight after is going to kill me. Not that I haven't done it before. It's just my tiredness that is killing me right now. Bedtime for Sarah.

This is what I've been working on. My CRM essay, about, well, no-one really knows. What CRM is? I'm not sure exactly. But this is what I've got so far:

What Is CRM??

How to manage the customer relationship

·         Knowing the customer’s order – recurrent order – guy @ Spudbar Ciao Bella. Another customer has Hot Stuff with Olives. Remembering what people’s preferences are. Makes it easier for them.

·         Remembering past conversations and chatting with them about things that interest them

·         Being happy and smiling to indicate to them that they are welcome and if they need a place to feel comforted that it is your place

·         Knowing what the customer wants

·         Always informing the customer of what their exact decisions are – Spudbar, if they have olives or any other extras, informing them that there is extra cost involved. Also telling them that Bolognese sauce has meat in it (Spudbar is supposed to be an entirely vegetarian food outlet - not so, because we have meat bolognese and bacon bits)

·         Knowing your product. Will not help the customer if you don’t know what you are talking about.

·         Getting it right. Finding what the general consumer prefers for your business and find a way to make the consumer happier at your work.

·      Strategic CRM

·      Analytical CRM

·      Operational CRM

·      Technology perspective OR business and/or marketing perspective

o   i.e. databases for past purchases of customers, using technology to work out customer buying trends and construct products that fit into the categories that customers go after the most

anyway that's all I got. Bed time for Sarah now, Goodnight to all. Especially to Reece, who's not talking to me.
Love you xoxo

Me & Reece

Lately I have been so busy, that travelling to geelong and back is kind of a pain in the arse. Want to know why?
It's because i'm there for so little time. My last trip, was Friday night. I returned sunday morning to work. That's pathetic!! It not only means me packing everything up just after I pulled it out, but travelling on trains close together, and the MAIN point, not seeing Reece nearly enough as I should!! =(

The good part about all this travelling though is I have actually had time to read my book I've been trying to finish for the past...well, forever. I've been so busy lately, I don't really have a day off, and even if i do have some spare time, I'm usually too tired to do anything. So finishing this book has been a great milestone for me!! It was another epic by Jodi Picoult (I don't really think I can call her novels 'epics', but oh well, they are great and have an awesome climax at the end.) and it was called Nineteen Minutes. The opening paragraph basically summed up the whole book. You can do anything in nineteen minutes. You can fold washing for a family of 5. You can have a checkup at the dentist. You can basically have a meal. You can do all these things, and it was there to show us that nineteen minutes isn't really that much time. And in this book, nineteen minutes is all it takes to kill 10 people and injure many many others in a high school shooting, where the dead and injured were not the only victims, but the shooter as well. There was a great turn at the end but i won't give it away for all those Jodi Picoult readers who haven't finished it yet. But the ending made me think. One of the main characters in the story was best friends with the shooter when they were younger, and she always stuck up for the shooter because he was always picked on at school and kindergarten, in life really. In the end she stands by her friend, but she also lost her boyfriend and many of her friends in the 'plastics' group at the same time. I felt incredibly sad for her because she lost everyone, but proud of her at the same time because she stuck up for her friend who was copping shit from the same people she was friends. It made me think that I couldn't bear to lose Reece. I don't know how I would survive, and thinking about it I probably wouldn't. I would rather have died with him than to be the one left behind. Josie (the girlfriend and friend in the book) went to her boyfriends grave every day and spent the whole day there just talking to him/his grave. I would probably lock myself in my room and never come out as well. It would take me a while to get over it.

Jess & Beck

Now that was my story about life and death, onto my best friends in the whole wide world. Beck and Jess!! I have probably talked to Jess a helluva lot more this week, so I have more goss on her. She has a new boyfriend!! She has been house-sitting this place out at Wallington for the past couple of weeks, and getting quite drunk and sick in the process. She has been through a lot while she's been there, her great grandma has died, Jacob (her brother) has been in emergency for an infection, and she has gained a new boy! Reece and I drove out to Wallington in his new car (that's another story), and we met the lovely Leigh who lives in a mansion. The biggest house I have ever seen, that has a cellar, a beautiful pool and spa, and a friggen statue that is twice the size of any human being that doubles as a water feature in the front of his house. bloody hell. haha. Well, anyway, Leigh is awesome, and I'm really happy for Jess. He's really really nice and seems like he will fit perfectly in with...our kind of group? Anyway, Jess has been staying out there and her mum knows about them being a couple, but not her dad because he would crack it because they are basically living together! =O. His parents know and are very happy about it too, so a good match on their behalf =D yay for happiness!! ANyway on her staying out at this mansion, she has gotten drunk, and sick, in that order.  Got a phone call at about ... forgot the time of the first call, but pretty early in the morning, from a drunk Jess. Telling me that there was going to be a party in a week's time, and then telling me again, and again...and again... like talking to someone with alzheimers!! It was funny. She was slurring her words like crazy, and sounded very happy. Then talked to her again at like 5am, then again at about 8am. Such funny conversations =D So now, a week later, she is quite sick, on antibiotics, her brother has crashed into a supermarket window and basically broken it, and her great grandma has died after a long illness. So I hope she is feeling better soon and that everything goes back to its non-hurty-ness soon. Love ya Jess! (P.S. i've been looking at those roundy chairs, looks like we can get 2 for a hundred bucks at fantastic furniture. red? =D)

me & Beck

Now onto Beckles. She has been quite busy like me, because I haven't talked to her that much in the past couple of weeks. She has been running into the lovely Gerard (not so lovely in our books, the lip-raper?!) quite a bit and is not liking it very much, and she has also been teaching kids how to play piano quite a bit, is going for an audition playing a piano at a restaurant, and has been all over the place with uni, and planning to move out really soon. I hope she's keeping herself healthy, because we dont' need any more sickness!

It will be great this weekend, because Jess's Leigh is having a party at his mansion on friday night, and the terrible trio will be there or be square. Can't wait for the festivities. And, onto getting there...Reece bought a car!! He came up for the day Tuesday last week and stayed the night, leaving early Wednesday to go to work, and Wednesday night i get a message saying..."i bought a car!" I was at work, and wanted to scream. I was so excited!!! His very own car. His very own freedom. HOW ExCITING! So it's a silvery commodore, station wagon, came with a Tom Petty cd and handsfree kit including the phone. So this silvery station wagony commodore is now named Petty, the brother to dear Betty, driven by Beckles. I can't wait to get my own car!!!!!!

because.... I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!!! I had my worst experience with a taxi last week, I think it was either Wednesday night or Thursday night getting a taxi home from Spudbar. I called, watched about 25 taxis drive past me and look at me like I was an idiot for about half an hour, and then finally one pulled up when I ran in front of it, but lucky me it was another dumbass indian. This one stank like every Indian does, but he was even stupider than any other Indian I'd ever been in a taxi with. I said to him, "Its the next street on the right, just before those lights". So what did he do? He drove right past my street. Stopped to turn around because i yelled "YOU MISSED IT!!!" at him. So he turned back and went down my street. Now my street is very long, so after a while I said "And you can pull over just after these cars on the left. He drove straight past these cars, so I'm like "right here!!!!". So what did he do? HE TURNED FUCKING RIGHT, and parked on the opposite side of the street. Which in anyone's books, is illegally parked. I paid him and slammed the door, walked the 10 houses back to my house and kept on being angry. I also hate that buses run every 30 minutes when you need it every 10, and I hate that they are always late.

I've been working a crapload lately, I find myself waking up just because I'm so used to waking up to go to work every day, even though I don't work every day!! Last week I worked Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at Sapore, and this week I worked Monday, am working Friday night and Saturday. But in between, I'm working for Tim, one of the customers at Spudbar with him at RMIT for the next 2 wednesdays, and Spudbar my usual Wed & Thurs nights, plus sunday morning this week to fill in for Tori who can't do it this week. My week is a bit insane! This weekend is extremely busy though, because I'm going to Leigh's party in Geelong after work, training it back to work Sapore Saturday, working sunday Spudbar, then training it back again to see Nan & Pop and Reece, and then train back monday arvo sometime, that's if i'm not working. So my week looks like this:

Monday - worked Sapore 12 - 4:30, supermarket shopping when I got home.
Tuesday - uni 3:30 - 6:30, homework day!
Wednesday - work for Tim 10 - 4ish in the city @ RMIT, then back to Hawthorn for Spudbar 5:30 - 10:30
Thursday - uni from 8:30 - 2:30, Spudbar 5:30 - 10:30,  fit in some actionscript and 3d homework at some point
Friday - uni 11:30 - 2:30, Sapore 5:30 - 9, train back to Geelong then drive to Wallington, either stay @ Reece's or Wallington
Saturday - train to melbourne, work Sapore 11 - 5, go get key for Spudbar later on
Sunday - work Spudbar 10:30 - 4, train back to Geelong, see Nan & Pop, probably stay at Reece's
Monday - train back to melbourne early if working, later if not.

There!! That's my exhausting week. The good thing about this week though, is that I got paid 3 times! twice for the past 2 weeks at Sapore that I forgot to pick up, and once for the fortnight of work at Spudbar. I'll probably also get paid from Tim for one shift at RMIT =D lots of money for Sarah =D =D Speaking of all this money, that in turn makes my savings account very happy. Yay for a car for Sarah to avoid this public transport crisis VERY SOON!!! =D =D more smilies =D

Reece pinching Beck's cheeks

And while I've been working at DFO quite a bit, I've been going early just to shop around a bit. Tim has been telling me that where we are working it's in a sunny place, so bring your sunnies. I've said to him that I don't have any anymore! Mine are scratched to buggery. So there comes the "Find Sarah Some Sunnies Search". The search finally ended on Friday night before work, where I finally found my dream pair at one of the shops at DFO, for only $20!! Reece said I looked really kool =D so yay for that! My search is over. The other thing I love about working at the DFO, is that we get 20% off stuff. Like I got my haircut the other day at one of the salons there, well the only GOOD one there that isn't Hairhouse Warehouse, and it was only $52 down from like 60 something because I worked there. It was awesome. And they are a salon that do everything at a good price, just like my old hairdresser in Geelong did. They wash your hair, give you a head massage and all the while you are in a massage chair, and they do an awesome job of cutting your hair, then they blowdry it! More than I can say for a lot of salons in Melbourne. They charge top dollar, then all they do is cut it and let it dry by itself, or, an extra $10 just to get it dried. BULLSHIT YOU i say. haha.

Speaking of working at the DFO, I had a few old friends come in on Monday. Hana & Claire McKenzie, Hana being the new superstar of R 'n' B trying to make it on the music scene as Hana-Jade. Well done to her I say!! Anyway, they were down from Brisbane because Hana had to go over some stuff and sign contracts with a producer or something. She said she has a gig in Melbourne in a couple of weeks so I'll have to grab a few friends and go check her out. Should be a fun time!! They both had doughnuts, and loved them. hehe. Claire was asking about my parents (even though she'd only seen them a few weeks ago), and I told her about Dad marshalling at one of Kieran's dirt bike racing track meets. He got cleaned up by one of the riders and has basically one side of him covered in a huge yellow, purple and black bruise. This, luckily was down his right side, and he is left handed so it hasn't taken him away from any work at all! They brought the ambulance out to the track because they thought he'd broken his arm/wrist, but he was just beat up very badly...poor dad. Claire thought this was hilarious and said it had made her week. I found it pretty funny that it made her week. What a week she must be having lol.

And I think that's about all my ranting for now, I'm kind of typed out at the moment, and I don't think I have any more news! When I do get some more news, you'll be the first to know!!
peace xox

Terrible Trio

back to uni it is...
I've been back for a whole week and I am exhausted.

I have four days of classes a week,
one hour monday
three hours tuesday
day off wednesday
five hours thursday
three hours friday

and then I've been working as well.
last week I did
monday 12 til 4 sapore (4:30 - 5:30 lecture in between) and 5:30 til 10 spudbar
tuesday day off
wednesday 12 til 5 sapore and 5:30 til 10 spudbar
thursday 5:30 til 10 spudbar
friday 5 til 8 sapore

so that equals 12 hours work at cafe sapore and 13.5 hours work at spudbar

on friday Reece drove up and picked me and Tom up from the station/safeway, and drove us home. I then had to go to Sapore to work, so he stayed in Camberwell for a bit and then came in when I finished up. We both bought new shoes from the Converse shop at the DFO (they're awesome!) then went to Lord of the Fries for dinner. Then caught a train back to Camberwell and drove home. Stayed up for a bit then went to bed.

Woke up on Saturday and got ready, went to the Pixar exhibition at Federation Square. It was pretty awesome! We saw all the sketches and drawings and research and casts of figurines that have to be done to be able to make these amazing 3D films they make possible and realistic.

We walked around for a bit and looked at the shop upstairs with merchandise, then went to some burger place and I had a burger and we shared some chips. not the best burger I've ever tasted. =S
Then as we were walking out of Fed Square there was a street performer, on a UNICYCLE! I had to watch. He was pretty funny too. He juggled knives and yelled a lot.

Then we went and got a slurpee from 7-11, and caught a tram home. It was bloody freezing, Mum said it was raining in Geelong so the rain was coming. We got home and I packed my things and we drove home basically. Picked up Tom on the way and then had KFC, bummed around at Reece's and then got a taxi into town.

First stop was Chief's, where we found Matt, Hudgy and a few other people. Tom got me onto Frangelico and OJ, tastes like orange chocolate. awesome =D Watched the band we watched a few weeks previously, with the middle-age singer thinking she's still about 15. yuk. Pretty dodgy guitar playing, but oh well. We spent most of the time outside.

Then Jess & Beck (and Gerard) met us at Chiefs, and we headed to Bended. We sat ourselves down in a booth and Jess, Beck & me had a few rounds of Frangelico & OJ. Then Jess got us a round of fruit tingles, tooo purpley for me. =S Drank half anyway.

Next stop was KFC, yes again. Reece had a burger and I had his large chips. Leigh and Glenn met us there and we watched the drunken idiots and the massive amount of chicken bones on the floor. yuk.

Tom wanted a kebab so he went and got one of those while we waited at the taxi rank. Waited for about 20 minutes before we got a cab because the line was so long! Got back to Reece's, and Tom continued on to Lara. Got into bed and went to sleep straight away I was that exhausted.

Woke up this morning and got out of bed and ready to go to Jess's for a spa!! Went home to get my bathers and also petrol for Reece, then out there. Spa was awesome, nice and hot on a cold day! Then came home and cooked chicken risotto for dinner as well as Mum's soup and pies.

Sorted out my lecture notes and now I'm going to bed. I'm getting my couch tomorrow, and my computer fixed then training it up to Melbourne for my 4:30 lecture then back home. Back to another working week without Reece. Even longer this time...a fortnight... because I'll have to work the weekend at Spudbar.

Another bout of torture. See you when I'm alive and functioning properly again.

Recently I’ve been bored out of my brains. The answer is, HOLIDAYS! I’m currently on my 5th week of holidays. I have another 2 weeks of boringness.

Reece went back to tafe on Monday. I was supposed to drive up to Melbourne and back to work Monday night, but there were a few problems there.

I was driving along Anakie Road and in the turning lane to turn right into Separation Street. But the car started revving crazily and so I turned it off, but it kept on jumping around, and wouldn’t fully turn off. I completely freaked out because this has happened a few times to me. I don’t think this car likes me…

So I put the hazard lights on and just sat there jumping around in the car, waving people around me because I was in the middle of a 4 lane road, and I couldn’t get out because there were cars all around. And it was 4pm, so it was “pick up the kids from school” time. Insane. Anyway this big black car came behind me and pulled up beside me, asking whether I was ok. “no! I’m not!!”

So they told me to turn the car on, let the clutch out slowly so the car doesn’t take off like a jet. I pulled around the corner behind them and they popped the bonnet and took a look. The carburettor was stuck (a problem we’ve had before), and they unstuck it, and asked where I was headed to. “Melbourne!” “oh man, you’re not going to get there, drive it home and get it fixed! If this happens again you’re screwed…”

So that’s what I did. Drove it home, shaking in shock and then rang Liz to tell her I can race to a train and get there a bit late, or should I just forget about it and get someone else to do the shift? She rang Tori, and she could get there on time and fill in for me so that was perfect.

Mum forced me to get in the car (“I’m not getting in that bloody thing ever again!”), and she drove down to Couman’s so they could take a look at it. The car had to stay in overnight, so we walked back home up the hill, shortcut through the McManus’ place.

I only stopped shaking by the time I got home. I was in complete shock, because the last couple of times the car had done this over-the-top revving thing, I had crashed it into the garage and wasn’t able to get out because I smashed the door in, and the other time the auto choke wasn’t keeping the revs at a certain speed so it was revving out of control and smoking, and apparently if it had happened while I was driving I would have been screwed.

Somehow I don’t think that this car really likes me, I have had a few problems with it the last couple of times I’ve driven it. I’m scared of the over-the-top revving; and I’m now scared of going over potholes because I went over a huge unexpected one taking up half the road the other week and bent the rims out of shape therefore flattening the tyre.

So in conclusion I don’t like Betty the white ’91 Barina anymore.

Other than that it’s been a pretty uneventful week. I’ve been waking up the times Reece has been off to school, yesterday it was 11, and today it was 1:30. (In my defence I did go to sleep around 4am last night so the sleeping in til 1:30 is quite substantial). I’ve sent an invoice for money to one of my ‘clients’ so hopefully that will come through soon because I need to prop up my savings, and maybe even be able to live off some cash for a while. I get paid from Spudbar tonight I hope, because for the last 2 weeks I’ve been living on nothing, the credit card basically. But the problem with me is I have to spend, even if I have no money, and therefore have racked up around $300 in credit card debt. I’m not even getting paid that much this week, so I have to pay it off in 2 instalments, as well as put away money for my phone bill. Don’t we love being students…

Everyone is getting engaged lately, I feel myself get hot under the collar… even flushed when anyone tells me that they have recently become engaged. It’s not that I’m not happy for them, I’m extremely pleased for them all, but it makes me think about my own engagement and wedding and fantasize about what will happen, how it will happen and when. And thinking about that only makes me more impatient as I wait for these spectacular days to arrive in my life.

It kind of makes me angry sometimes because these people have only been with their respective partners for not even two years in some cases, and it makes me think, why are they getting engaged so early? why are they jumping into things? why am I not?? I'm kind of angry about all this but wanting it at the same time. Jealousy? I think so.

It makes me sad that I’m not the over-the-moon about-to-be-married girl who has her romantic life set out for her. I’m so incredibly jealous of these girls, yet so happy that I’m not about to become overly broke and stressed trying to organize and pay for a whole wedding and a whole life that I’m probably not ready for yet even though I feel like I am.

My original view was to get engaged at 23, married at 25, and kids at 27. Now I’m beginning to think that engaged at 21, married at 23 and kids at 25 is another good one. Why does my life have to be set out in gap years? I don’t know. Maybe it’s too fast? Maybe not. Maybe I shouldn't be planning all of this and just wait for it to happen, not overplan so when it comes to the time, I don't think "right, I'm this age so I have to be doing this.." or "this should be happening". As I know planning too early just screws it up for later.

I think maybe why this whole thing has come up is because I’m kind of in limbo at the moment. I want to quit uni for a year and work, just for a break, and to save up some money for life, and a car that I so badly need. But then it’s only mid year. I don’t want to be living in Melbourne anymore, I don't want to be living with people that are 'strangers', not my best friends, people I can’t talk to about anything and everything at any given moment and expect them to understand because they don't know me, they don't know my life, they don't know my past. Maybe it's not that I don't want to be living in Melbourne, maybe it is just me being 'by myself' in a way. I want to be living with people that I knew before I moved in, people I know I’m going to feel comfortable with. I feel like I’m in the limbo phase between living in Melbourne going to uni, and living with my boyfriend starting out our lives together and working full time doing what we have dreamed of and worked so hard for.

I feel like that time in year 12 where you just give up. You are over school, and just want to move onto the next phase of your life. I need some change, I don’t care what it is but I’m sick of the life I’m living in at the moment.

What I’m trying to say is I’m ready for the next step. I need to move on, but I don't think I'm ready to get married just yet.

so you know, when you think too much about this stuff and you are completely bored with nothing to do, this is what happens:
