Okay, so, we have a cheerleading competition coming up on February 28th, and I got put on the team that's competing last week, while everyone else has had a few months practice to get used to most of the routine. I started learning it on Sunday, which is so NOT with the awesome. My dyspraxia is giving me two left feet and apparently I can't count, and I don't remember half of it. Or even what counts I'm meant to be doing shit on.
On the up side, I can almost do the last bit, and almost do the first bit...apart from the times I count it wrong, or I forget completely what I'm meant to be doing. (Which I do a lot) Soooo at the moment, I am shitting myself. And also, generally in pain
On the other hand, dolly mixtures are win!

So...cheerleading is painful. Really kind of ow. I have nice (weird) bruises on my thighs from slapping them so much on sunday...
And the best part is!
I've got training again in four hours. The captain has informed me that I'm "in for a beasting(?) tonight". At least, that's what I heard as we crossed paths and I complained about the paaain.
It's weird though, I've been looking up videos of cheerleading moves and what have you...such as things like standing backspring roundoff...(I think), and all the youtube comments were along the lines of "OMG THAT'S NOT ADVANCED! I LEARNT TO DO THEM WHEN I WAS SIX!1!!1one" What I really want to say...but can't be arsed with all the drama it would cause...is...
SCREW YOU, AMERICAN BRATS! I'm 25. Try learning those skills for the first time at that age. After you've taken 25 years to become very unflexible...and...understanding of the danger involved. SCREW YOU HIPPIES.
Otherwise, I'm kinda excited about the prospect of going to a British competition, but know full well that we're still gonna get shown up by all these other teams who are so much better.
...Go Cobras?

If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Include any extra things this power might give you. For example, Storm (x-men) has weather control, and by manipulating the wind, can fly.
My favourite would have to be burninating powers. Shiro/Leyu type ones, possibly even Roberto...where you have all this sun energy, which is all fiery, and it lets you fly and you're all burny...and you throw big balls of flaming burny goodness at things.
As you can see, I am spending my first week at uni thinking of constructive questions.

It's my birthday again.
Ironically if you skip back exactly 20 entries on my LJ you'd notice that at the top of the page would be my last birthday post. :/ I'm so bad at updating here. Bah
Anyway. I'm 25 now. Which is both cool and kind of scary. So continuing the tradition of growing up...I'm going to listen to the Disney's Greatest Hits cds that I got from Damo.
"I wanna be like youuuu..."

Oh hai LJ land!
I just had my lip repierced on a whim...through the scar tissue, which was kinda ouchy, but now it just feels weird and I'm immediately back to biting at the piercing again.
Apparently, not only do I sometimes talk in my sleep, I also giggle. Loudly. For 20 minutes.
Other than that, I am playing WoW. Go figure.
Oh, and I have quite possibly passed my college thing, so I'll be doing the uni thing hopefully. Change and no change. Hrmm. Perhaps a metaphor for something.

I miss my paid account features. I shall have to buy them back at some point soon, I'm sure.
Anyhow, that's two exams out of the way. Just psychology exam and some erroneous assignments left and I'm done for the year. I am both excited and terrified.
Also, human evolution...not nearly as interesting in class as when you just read bits about it. In fact, most of it's a big bore. However, my teacher deserves pins sticking in her for just how boring she made the interesting bits sound.
You know what? This will be the first time I actually finish a psychology course. Whatta you know, third time really is the charm.

So...we work night shift.
After two years of doing so myself, I still don't think my parents realise this.
Our boiler broke, and they expect us, somehow, at some point, get three quotes for a replacement before getting a replacement. I just want my damn hot water back :(
Wahhhh.

Dear car,
Why do you always have to do this? I mean, it's just inconvenient really. So maybe you overheard me saying that I wanted to buy a new car, but that's only because you started leaking petrol or something like that, and I don't want to pay for expensive repairs again. I mean, last time it was the heater matrix breaking and the time before that was the wheel falling off... Now you want me to deal with your insane consumption of fuel and your sudden decision to disallow me into my car through the driver door.
Well thanks. I appreciate it. Really I do. I mean, you breaking in odd and inconvenient ways is just what I live for.
Just so you know, I'm looking for a new car on Thursday now. I was going to put it off until April, but you've just sealed your fate.
Good bloody riddance.
No love,
Me.

Yanno, I really, really love this song. I'm not sure I like anything else by the band yet, but this one is just ace.
Also, I attack with Jigglypuff icon of DOOM!
(No, we haven't started playing Pokemon Diamond.)

omg. Back from Canada. Finally.
You know. I'm really glad. Canada has nothing in it. Seriously.
Though Boston Pizza do a really gorgeous brownie dessert.

Haha. So I found the wires that connect my camera to my computer (finally), and then I discovered that my camera takes pictures in sepia! WIN!
So guess what? I have some bad photos for you. Just a couple. And...some are from like...last year in Australia, so excuse that, but you love it anyway.
( Cut for 4 )
Going to Canada on the 23rd or something...and might ski/snowboard...then coming back a week later, then going to Australia again last week of March for two weeks. I am le excited.
And I'm getting a new camera. With even more zoom that makes me drool. Maybe I'll work out what I can do with it before I end up ordering another one this time. Who knows?!

It's times like this when I realise how fricking awesome stupid I am.
I got home last night, on my own cause I took a half day from work since I'd only slept 4 hours and felt like crap, and I think to myself "Huh, it's bin day today. I should put all the rubbish out." So I go do all that stuff. Then I get back in the kitchen...and look at the bunch of envelopes on top of the microwave...from all the failed passport applications I made in the last two days. (There were lots) I think...here's a good opportunity to throw them out. However, they all have my address on. So I should rip them all up and people won't know where I live!
So I rip them all up and throw them in the bin.
Today in work, I'm sat happily listening to music, and letting my mind wonder, when I suddenly get that horrible sick feeling that you get when you realise you've done something incredibly stupid.
I've only gone and torn up both my birth and change of name certificates that were in one of the envelopes, haven't I?
Sigh.

So while driving home from the gym, my ever charming husband, Damian was sat discussing something or other (the details are now forgotten because of what came next)...or rather, he was possibly telling me something, then suddenly in childish glee, he looks out the window of the car and exclaims "Lesbians!" pointing at two women. Then he carried on with the conversation as I broke out into hysterics.

I am so very tired right now. It's funny how I can't deal with a day now unless I've had a good 8 hours sleep. I'm afraid five just doesn't cut it.
Give me more sleep or give me...something similar.
