A few weeks back, i got a phone call from a german guy, saying he and his wife had just been to australia, and had met my mum. Turns out they live only an hour from me here in germany, and they have invited me to stay with them next weekend as they would like to return the hospitality my mum offered them. These are some photos they sent me..made me feel a teensy longing for oz. Boort is the closest town to my mums farm, and this photo below is of our shearing shed (it was a merino stud farm, but we had to sell all the sheep off in a really bad drought a few years back as there wsa just no feed for them).




(Haaa no shit. we've been in drought for hmm i forget how many years now)




And this one, i'm fairly crtain my mum would kick my arse if she knew i'd posted it, seeing as she looks a bit old and her eyes are closed! But eight months ago, the last time i saw everyone, my sister was only up to my shoulders. Now she's as tall as my mum, which means as tall as me!!:O she really has shot up like a beanstalk:) (oh, the photo is at a neighbouring farm.)

newest holidays

are in just under a month yeeeee.
bought a rail pass for belgium, austria (though i don't plan to go there until feb), netherlands, and germany.
soo plans are: a day in dresden, two days catching up in hamburg with a friend there, two days in amsterdam with the prospect of staying with a couchsurfer and meeting a fellow modder from a bodymod site: shes uber cool so i hope that works out. then to hitch hike/use shared ride site, to get to antwerp, a few days there, then through brussel and onto brugge, where i will be meeting another couchsurfer and exploring the local city's beer halls and chocolate stores:D
caaaan't waiiit!!!!
oh yeah, and i forgot i have another friend to meet on my way home in köln, so i get to see that city, too^^

in other news? my uni boks have arrived and i've already read through them, twice. oh, and have fallen in love with a russian....

guess who is now offically...

a university student:P
hahah and here i was thinking i would never do it. well, theres still plenty of time to freak out and a.) quit, or b:) fail.
i ordered my books today^^

O_o

went and saw 'Otto', or, 'Up With Dead People', the other night. uh. i do not know what to say. i was left completely speechless! There were a bunch of couchsurfers going, they posted if anyone wanted to join them, so i decided to tag along. And i will admit, i was very happy to discover the malsehkino..it kinda reminded me of melbourne, and made me hate frankfurt just that little bit less.
I'm not sure if i've just turned into a complete prude, i mean, there were laugh out very loud moments, but haha next time i shall do a little more research on the films i go to see. I don't know which part grossed me out the most, the zombie fucking his dead boyfriend from his gouged out stomach, or the zombie orgy. >.<
i think i...enjoyed it? maybe. i still don't know how i feel about it. it was just one of those movies!!
(i also feel very wrong for being attracted to the lead.)
