Soooo in right now: Blue singlet top, a pair of grey bonds boxer briefs for ladies. My favourite undies, apart from my pink ones with polka dots.

You're Clarice Starling, FBI, the veteran of thrift. Grasping, brave, and noble, you don't take shit from anyone. You're efficient and rather intelligent, with few strong family ties. Hang in there and you might silence the lambs once and for all.

Awesome, Jodie Foster.

Listening to: I'll Look Around, Madeleine Peyroux.
Soooo in right now: Glassons corset t-shirt, covered in paint and snot from kindy, trackpants, stripey socklets.

I've worked at the kindy for three days now, with at least another couple to go. My name's down for some shifts at KFC, and I'm looking for another job. We'll see how that goes I guess. It's just good that I'm finally working!

Nicole brought Amber to kindy for a visit today. She wasn't too interested in the other kids, but she loved the sandpit and toys. And she didn't seem to care when she wasn't with Nicole, so I think she'll be fine coming to kindy. We just have to work on the sitting at the table to eat thing.

Right now I'm obsessed with all the $30 dresses at Jay Jays, and today I went in to find they've all been reduced to $15! But I guess there's a limit to how many polka dot dresses I need. I bought a polka dot top though.

I just showed the monkey my new top. I came very close to putting a dress I can't afford on layby, and I'm glad I didn't, because I came home and Eileen had bought it to wear to prizegiving.

Drinking age is staying at 18. Wheeeee. Oh no, over the weekend I forgot what the sandpit does to nail polish. They should make sand less abrasive. Mum caught on to my trick of getting out of getting out of nappy changes today. When a kid comes to me, I just say, "go tell Pat," and they toddle off. I've also been told off for calling a kid a brat (he was one) and telling kids the reason they weren't allowed in the storeroom with chemicals and things in is because it's where all the fun stuff is kept. I'm an awesome teacher.

Listening to: Cat Steven's Streets of London.
Soooo in right now: Royal New Zealand Ballet Peter Pan t-shirt, with blue knickers and a very bright quilt.


Look! Kate Mulgrew reckons she's met Pandy! Hehehehehe.

Tina Fey: The difference between cats and dogs...
Ellen Degeneres: No, no, you can't just say the topic of the monologue, you have to lead into it.
Tina: Ok, ok. Today, I was riding my cat to work, and I was thinking how different it is from riding my do...
Ellen: What are you talking about?
Tina: I don't know.

I brought a load of stuff home from my flat today. I have no idea how I accumulated so much stuff in two semesters. I still have to take down my posters, pack my shoes (too many), guitar stand, clothes horse, tv... argh. So much stuff.

I'm relieving at mum's kindy on Thursday. How weird is that? I've hung around so often, but since I'm 18, they can use me as their one unqualified teacher for a day and PAY me. Mmmmmm, money.

I'm starting to lose my hostel weight, but it doesn't help that KFC have bought out heaven on a stick. Hot Rods are soooooo good. But I'm at home now, not within walking distance of two KFCs, two Maccas, two BKs, at least 4 Starbucks, dozens of kebab shops, a crepe place, lots of Indian places, hundreds of pubs. And no city hours either, there'll be no more 3am icecream runs. No insomniac buddies to join me either. Oh dear, why did I move out?

Labour love!

Okaaay, so delayed post on Labour Conference.

What can I say, the whole thing was awesome. Met lots of new people, and caught up with old friends. It's fun being at the stage when a lot of MPs know me and are actually happy to chat, instead of the polite, "nice to meet you" chit-chat. Plus they buy you even more drinks at that stage.

We did a great job selling t-shirts, with my trick of going up to MPs and saying, "damn, you'd look good in this," working well. I even sold Peter Davis a matching his-and-hers set. Awwwwwww. I also made friends with Helen's little sister Sandra, she's so lovely. She helped me out when I got Helen to sign a bunch of rossettes for the big whip around. One of the t-shirts adorned with one of my rossettes was auctioned off for $110! To Marian Hobbes, the bike riding nun!

Both of Helen's speeches were awesome. I'm so glad she mentioned section 59, and I hope other MPs are swayed by her stance, which, of course, is the right one. Entertainment from Sir Howard Morrison and Melvina Major was great too.

We had a showing of An Inconvenient Truth. I was weary, because I had the feeling it was just scare-mongering. But I actually came out off it, not dejected, but positive that something can actually be done. The problem of Climate Change is a huge one, and will take massive efforts to to make a satisfactory change. But, there was an excellent section outlining previous problems that have been solved by people making a huge collective effort. Including the hole in the Ozone layer. Individuals and comapanies changed their habits in huge ways, and as a result, the increase of the size of the hole has been reversed, and it has actually shrunk. The media accused Labour of discussing Climate Change because this is a 'safe' topic. My cousin in Australia is very surprised at this. Over there it's a massive political issue. Over here, it's widely acknowledged that its a problem, but the different levels of priority it's given varies hugely.

I didn't get drunk at all, but had a few drinks over terrible karoke. Me and Anna are planning a fundraiser. If we end up having a christmas party, we'll get up and sing, and only stop when we've made a certain amount of money. Genius. Geoff's parents were legends, opening up their house to hoardes of drunkards, feeding us, giving us beds and even supplying the grog! Awesome. I think I could get used to bacon and egg breakfasts everyday. My belly wouldn't though.

I didn't make it on the Sunday, being exhausted from dramas of the previous night, but I wasn't a voting delegate anyway. Well done Kate for winning by an excellent margin!
