SLEEPLESS IN SYDNEY

Saturday, Oct. 26, 2002 11:30 p.m. Thanks to all the people who took a look at my auctions and a special thanks to those who bid! =) Makes my day :D I've been finding that I'm really drowsy off late and there have been parts of my life that have been cut out and I have no recollection of it whatsoever. The other night I was catching up on some Survivor tapes. I finished watching it and decided to watch one Dawson's tape to make the pile that I have to catch up on one less. It was their Halloween special thing and it actually creeped me out a bit because I was home alone and I thought I was hearing things. I WAS hearing things actually...it turned out to be my cousin returning back to the house after staying with friends for the past week or so. I had just gotten out of the shower, which I was actually scared to go in and was telling the boy, who told me to 'grow up' :P I heard someone come in the door and they tried to close it as quietly as they could. Then I heard someone creeping up the stairs slowly and then paw through the mail. That's when I realised it was my cousin. I hate that she has my house keys. I want them back! She can't just come and go as she pleases.. Anyways, a lot of stuff has happened. She apparently was made redundant with her job and has been working at a club in Oxford Street (I think maybe only a few times now). She also lost her phone..which is a bit iffy..I mean, her story. First she says she lost it, then she says someone stole it, then she says maybe someone took it out of her pocket. What the hell girl. Make up your mind. If you're going to lie, just stick with one story, we can tell either way. That's what I CAN'T stand. Lying to me, lying to my mother and sister. Get OUT already. If she were honest, I'd be a little more understanding but I can't now..not after all this. It makes it extremely hard for me to look at her or talk to her. I mean, I do it..I'm not ignoring her on purpose, I just try to avoid conversation because I haven't anything nice to say unfortunately =/ So yesterday she said she was going to stay home all day and wait for calls. She tells us this while watching Jerry Springer. She watched SO many day time shows it was crazy. My sister was doing work in the study room and I was in my room and we ended up having a conversation about my cousin on msn messenger. I know, we are CRUEL sisters but it's just not possible, talking to my cousin and getting it THROUGH to her that she has to organise herself better and stop sponging off everyone. She was telling my sister that this friend she met here was a hairdresser and was going to give her a free cut and color. She also said that this other friend of hers was going to get her a new phone overseas but he's not going to be back for another two weeks and when he DOES come back, he's buying a house. 'Just like that? He's buying a house?' my sister asked...and she said 'yeah well he's got 450 000 dollars cash'. Uhh...what kind of person has that much money in CASH? What kind of dumbass would have that much and have it in cash? Apparently a 27 yr old who is RETIRED. Why is he retired? "Well he just bought a new BMW yesterday" she says. Uhm. That doesn't answer the question at all. Now you see why it's so hard to talk to her? Bah, well..she said she can't do anything because she doesn't have a phone. A phone is STILL a luxury. Not everyone has one and you really don't have to HAVE one to survive. My uncle offered her a job back in Malaysia at his bistro. She said she'd go but didn't want to stay there that long. At first she wanted to decline the offer, saying that all her friends didn't want her to go anywhere etc..but I guess she's changed her mind. My mom called us to ask for our opinion and my sister blasted her for over an hour saying that my mom shouldn't be paying for her and that she's not her daughter etc. She was saying to my mom that she doesn't understand that what she's doing is causing so much problems for everyone else... Sigh....you know, I didn't even intend to write this entry about my cousin at all. I find this happening all the time..I don't intend to talk about her to Salami or to my mom or my sister but it always becomes the topic of conversation. Because it bothers me. It feels like a constant rash that won't go away... I wanted to say that Salami has been studying really, really hard for his exam this coming Wednesday. He's so organised and everything, I'm jealous. I tried to organise this study timetable thing but I don't know if I'll even make it past day one. I didn't make it too hard incase I failed to follow it. Well we'll see...it starts tomorrow :) Because today I met up with Andy to study at uni. When I called him he said he was in a room and I assumed he had found one in the library but he was in a classroom in another building. It was cool though, we had the whole room to ourselves :) Then he ditched me for basketball :P I stayed another 2 hours and tried to study :) Okay..this is much much longer than intended. So I will end here! Goodnight :) * one step back * skip ahead * Or head on over to my site, where it's really at :P hah! I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You?
