and if it wasn't 1 am i'd tell you all about it.
UPDATED:
Okay so as my friend just pointed out that title might lead you to suspect that it was I who needed quenching.
This may be true but irrelevant.
It is infact, my favorite line which my friend couragously shouts into the audience in this fantastically depressing play by Federico Garcia Lorca - The House of Bernarda Alba , on at the ANU -

I'm so proud of her.

I didn't know I had mucsles there?
Hockey training has started once again and this time has a lovely little session called "Boxersise". This includes, but not limited to, pulling on communal boxing gloves that hit that sweet spot in your gag reflex and then sprinting back and forth until you almost vomit. And i'm pretty sure my pecs will be bigger than my boobs before long..
But I no complain, I have a not-so-secret love of excersise/hockey. Which apparently makes me a lesbian.
Ya'll (oh praise the lord if i'm not the only one writing/reading this) remember from the last post about boy's best friend? (we've now reaching the stage where he feels comfortable enough to meet me on his lunch break for lunch and then take me undie shopping) he's decided to dub me a lesbian for not so obvious reasons. Although i've already foiled him once. (see http://ohmessyme.blogspot.com/2009/02/only-in-movies.html)
We'll see how long it lasts.

Mmm Binge Eating
There's nothing quite like a get together with the girls and eating so much junk food you undo all that excersise that you did down at the coast with your hockey team over the weekend.
Tonight instead of sitting out in the cool night air, surrounded by friends, friends of friends and friends of friends friends (because Canberra's good like that)to watch Tropfest 09, one of my close friends, Al, decided to have it at her place because the movie channel was actually showing it live this year.
So partly for this luxury and partly because one of my other good friends M, is leaving us on Tuesday for Uni in Sydney, and it'd be the last time for all of our group to have a get together for a while, we all drove round and traded picnic rugs for comfy chairs and ate copious amounts of popcorn, chips and cheescake.
B turned up with her boyfriend a little while into the films. During the add break she was telling us how they have a blog from their month long travels in Tasmania. Me being me pipe in "oh I have a blog!" Immediately regretting this they both look at me and go... "but you don't DO anything." so I mutter that i'm going to get into at least the top 1000000000000 with this someday but they don't hear me and move on to more interesting topics.
Which reminds me, I really am doing things with my time.. besides writing these. Although I work at the Zoo, the pay is shite (I love my job too much to quit) and funding my gap year to America, Nepal and India is a bit of a feat. So I've been job hunting and I've got to say, knowing people gets you EVERYWHERE. I have a trial shift at Old Parliament house on wednesday so hopefully i'll earn me some money woo!
Now I just need to get off my arse, burn off the junk in my trunk from tonight, send off some forms for this other job.. fill out my visa appllication and i'm laughing!

Only In The Movies
As downright depressing the my first blog was, I come to tell a tale of cheap romantic hollywood movie proportions.
How's this for a plotline-
I meet a boy, boy meets me. I like this boy. My best friend likes this boy too. Best friend tells boy about feelings and boy say's that he's not interested in a relationship. I go on trip to the zoo with boy and when boy drops me home he tells me the same thing.
I pretend it was just a friendly thing and life goes on. ( You know when you actually really like the person but pretend not to and say it a bit too enthusiastically?
boy: I'm not sure what your intentions are but i'm not looking for a relationship. I think you're really great though.
Me: OH? what! noooooo! no no it was just friendly, no i.. yeah. cool. See you soon! *Gets out of the car and runs into the house*)
Boy and me continue to see each other at parties and have a good time together. My best friend slips out of the picture for a little while.
Suddenly boy seems to feel the same way, I tell boy how I feel and boy says that he'd like to give it a shot if only I wasn't off limits to him. He tells me i'll find out in good time. The next day I go with boys best friend to the zoo and upon dropping him home he tells me that he likes me. I tell him I like other boy. *insert conversations with both boys good girl friend and much confusion*
In the end boy doesn't like me, I appologize to my best friend and become good friends with boys best friend who is now over me.
Cut to now. I sort of still liked boy even after everything but finally decided to give up and tell boys best friend who says that it's probably a good idea.
I go out to an O-Week party and see boy there. I say hi but stay away from him and dance with my friends. An hour in, cue a gap in the croud and old crush from a few years ago, who I thought was still in France walks over to me.
If I had to tell you anything about this boy it is that he is VERY attractive. We have a strange friendship where I burst his ego bubble because of this very reason. I think that's why we get along. (At the end of year 9 we went to pitch and putt together and he asked me out a couple of days after that but I was so taken aback by the fact that he asked that I got scared and pretended it didn't happen)
I tell him that it's a suprise to see him, he says he's been back for a week. We talk some more, we dance,we kiss. WE KISS. (Yeah I didn't even see that happening, even after a few drinks.) I'm pretty sure my Year 10 self is smiling like an idiot right about now.
Said boy saw us. I wonder what he thinks. Purely out of curiosity of course, I gave him too many chances.
I'm hanging out with old crush on sunday for the first time since pitch and putt. It should be fun.
So really what i've realised and what I already knew (but sometimes it's just a bit hard to do) is that you just have to let go and things work out. As the saying goes "A watched kettle doesn't boil" actually, that really doesn't go with my point at all...

First But Not A Winner
My grandfather has Leukemia.
You know that family problem where everyone knows what's wrong but doesn't want to upset anyone else in the family, (especially the ones it effects most) so they don't say anything? Well It's like this was an inevitable fact that if no one said it outloud then it might not really be true. He looks sick but he doesn't look too bad, right?
There have been hushed conversations between family members for a while now and tonight dad, admitedly after having a few to drink, tells my brother and I that our grandpa, his dad, isn't good, at all. And he's going into chemo tomomrrow. He didn't say the L word so I did. He looked down and nodded. That expression on his face where he's being strong but you know it's tearing him up inside.
"So now you guys might want to visit him a bit more than usual, I mean you don't have to go out of yor way all the time but... I don't think he has much time left."
And all the while I can't help but notice that his hair (what's left of it) is a little longer than usual. So I tell him and he smiles and says he'll cut it tomorrow.
