Hello all!

Lame! Macquarie Uni wont release my academic record for some reason they haven't specified so now I have to trek out to north ryde and beg sometime in the next couple of weeks or I don't get to go back to uni next year. I say again, LAME!!!!!

Simon and I saw a girl with a dingo pup yesterday and we so want one heaps and heaps. Of course we live in a flat so we can't have one yet, but we will inevitably move to a house again one day and will then become puppy enabled.

In other news we are now the proud owners of a tank with actual fish! Thanks to the generosity of zenkatydid and anothertwilight who are swell in every way.

In Celebration!

Well I applied for uni and submitted the sucky uppy letter of blatant pleading otherwise known as a personal statement. First preference was B Science (Flexible), second was B Science, B Engineering and third was B Science in Information Technology all at UTS. Now heading off to sacrafice a chicken and read it's entrails to determine whether or not they will accept me.

Should I study Physics or Engineering at uni next year??

Bike stuff

In a tragic turn of events the bike mechanic found a crack in my frame today which, given the wear on the other parts of my bike, caused him to recommend the purchase of a replacement as soon as possible. Thankfully it is tax return time, so I will be able to purchase my shiny new transport sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Thankfully my Dad says that I should be able to keep riding it quite safely for a while, so it should be fine for the two weeks until I get my tax return or next monthly pay packet. I have decided to get a Cell Team Racer for $1200. Apparently it is the lowest model that is fully upgradable to racing standards, so I can upgrade individual components on it later on for races and stuff.

My Dad has also agreed to ride the Sydney to Gong course with me a couple of times before the event. I figure it will be way easier and less dangerous with a mega experienced cyclist than it would be if I tried it by myself. We are going to head down one Saturday morning. Theoretically we will also ride back to sydney afterwards. I am hoping that he can help me improve my hill climbing technique enough to be able to ride there and back. I am confident that I could do an 8 - 10 hour ride on the flat without too many issues as long as I keep the pace slower than I would normally ride, but the hilly areas might drain my energy too much. My comfortable pace will probably be about the 25km/h mark I am thinking, which is lucky to be half his preferred pace.

My Dad started cycling seriously when he was a year older than I am now, and has spent the last 20 years riding from Cherrybrook to Sydney Uni and back every day, a course which is made up of a 31.3 km long selection of the most evil hills I have had the misfortune to encounter. He, naturally, takes about an hour to ride this distance which is about how long it would take a normal human to drive the same route. My goal for the next two years is to get to the point where I can make the same trip in under an hour and a half, preferably without my legs falling off. Wish me luck, world!

and now, off to google for my wish list items: new cycling gloves, a superior panier(sp?) rack that can take a slide on back on top at the same time as the two clip on side bags, a slide on bag to use with said rack, a hand pump that has a tire pressure gauge, a magical bike lock that is both strong and light (do they even exist??) and a long sleaved zip up light weight jersey to provide me with an extra layer when it is cold.

I also must investigate one of those one piece things that consist if leggings attached to a lightweight singlet thing that you wear under your jersey for gap free torso coverage. Guarenteed to provide 100% protection from the risk of clothing malfuction which can lead to torso coldness and, in extreme cases, butt crack exposure.

Is everyone going to Ascension on Saturday night??

My glands are swollen and I feel lame. Stupid glands! I had better be well by tomorrow so that I can ride to Parramatta, I was looking forward to that.

Have any of you shiny people studied at Monash uni? I am looking at my options and considering Melbourne educational institutions as well as Sydney ones, with the thought being that I could start studying by distance and then move if I wanted to. Or else of course I could start at UTS and transfer to a Melbourne uni if I wanted to move at any point.. on account of having completely fallen in love with the cycling paths and cheap organic vegetables. Yeah, so who's up for moving to Melbourne?? *grin*

Some liberties taken with spelling..

Queen bee got back

Bees like big butts (when they cannot fly)
your other buzzers can't deny
when a girl walks in with some itty bitty wings
and a round thing in your face
you get stung, you wanna protect that muff
when you notice that butt is stuffed
with larvae

I have no inspiration and it is lame! Since my forest floor thing I haven't made anything, just can't seem to get started. I think I have to start practicing keeping an ideas journal and forcing myself to work them through to the end, which may get me past this feeling that every time I have an idea I manage to kill it by looking at it closely.
