he is so cute!

This is the picture that is on my desktop. Isn't he so cute? He's a lot bigger now but still has that same face! I love Rokocoko!

Raina is BLONDE!!!

Here's some quotes from her:

"Oh you're Iranian...so you're from Iraq"
"Jandels originate from Romania...you know how we used to wear roman jandels at school? They're from Romania"

Hahahaha...its roman sandels!!! and romans aren't from romania!!

A Day in the Life of Jo

1. Wake up and wish it wasn't morning. Roll over and look at the clock. Realise it's not morning, its 4am and I'm in Queensland where they don't understand the concept of Daylight Savings. Surely nobody actually thinks having the sun be up by 4am and be down by 7pm in summer is a good thing! Go back to sleep.

2. Wake up cos my alarm is going off. Get up, have shower (no waiting for shower either, love the ensuite), have breakfast while playing on the Internet.

3. Catch bus/walk to work. Spend all of that time muttering to myself and anyone that will listen about how ridiculously bad the Gold Coast bus system is and how often the bus's just don't turn up! It'll be a hot day in Wales when a Gold Coast bus is on time!

4. Work. Spend that time muttering to myself about how sore my feet are from standing in cheap shoes and winding myself up about how some people have no concept of money. Their idea of money troubles is that they have to buy the 8 bedroom house cos they can't afford the 9 bedroom one! And reminding myself that I doubt that I'd ever get plastic surgery because its called plastic for a reason!

5. Go home. Spend all of that time muttering to myself and anyone that will listen about how ridiculously bad the Gold Coast bus system is and how often the bus's just don't turn up! It'll be a hot day in Wales when a Gold Coast bus is on time!

6. Play on the Internet/watch rubbish ausy tv/eat bad food/hang out with caraaazzzziii people!

7. Go to bed.

I have to be honest...when I was thinking about writing this post last night as I went to sleep I didn't notice how much I talk to myself!

Great line

Ausy tv is rubbish. If you think NZ tv is bad don't watch it here. It feels like I'm watching crappy sunday afternoon tv and then realise it's prime time and they just have nothing good to watch. Which means what I'm about to say even more amazing! Just heard a great line on an ad for a tv program that's starting soon:

"Stop thinking I'm a survivor and start thinking I'm a success!"

How great is that? Well it is to me. I'm always saying: look at what I've done considering... when I should just be saying: look at what I've done.

PS the Gold Coast is awful. I've never seen so many women with plastic surgery in my life and I'm not joking. Every thing is fake here, boobs, face's, tans, people. I think I'm hideous and fat enough as it is without having to compete with people who's beauty is literally fake! I've met some fantastic people but I realised tonight that none of them are from the Gold Coast. And any I have met are awful! And I'm not exaggerating.

I'm so tired of struggling, not having enough money, not having people who have known me more than a month, not having my family around, not having rokocoko, of being let down by people, not having a job I enjoy and having to watch my friends get my perfect jobs at first go. Its awful to get into the real world and realise it really is as bad as it looks. And I'm tired of nobody hugging me!

But Kaija will be here next tuesday and wednesday and I honestly can't wait. I can't wait to see her and I possibly will cry at the airport when I see her (maybe this will be because its 6.30 am and I've just spent 2 hours getting there from my home).

Ok I'll leave it on that note. Can't wait to see Kaija!!!
