Major Life Rant :(

This post is a major personal rant. You don't have to read it, I just need to get something off my mind before I have "another" nervous breakdown :)

rant begins....

I come home from work and dads girlfriend is cleaning our house! WHAT THE FUCK! They haven’t even been together for a month and she’s cleaning. If you don’t like the way we live, STOP FUCKING COMING OVER! It’s not like I hate her, I just feel thats she is trying to change us… she’s allowed to change my dad as much as she wants, but not me! I’m my own person and I don’t need some women who I’ve known less a month coming in and telling me how to live. She even made a comment that “an unmade bed is depressing” and I felt like slapping her. So what if I don’t make my bed! My room is my safe place, I can have it however the fuck I want. She even “jokes” about how I got the master bedroom and dad didn’t, but he should of… etc… Dad and I came to the agreement a year ago. I spend most of my time in my room, where dad only sleeps in his… So HE said I could have the big room, if he had wanted it, he should of said and I would of gladly taken the smaller room. She also commented on all the “toys” I own! And she’s always going on about her 18 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend. BLAH BLAH BLAH! I don’t give a fuck about your daughter, from the stories you tell, it sounds like she moved out because of you! And she’s always here! I told dad that I don’t want her staying the night, and he said that’s fine, but he’s always coming to me and saying how SHE thinks I don’t like her. THE QUOTE BELOW COMES TO MIND!



I’m also a little worried. She has recently lost her job, and if she can’t find another job she will lose her house… where does she go then??? NOT FUCKING HERE IF I’VE GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! The problem is (this is my overactive brain hating on me) what if Dad chooses her over me? And she does move in? Do I get over myself and just try to deal with having her around? or do I move out? I can’t afford to rent a place on my own, or even with someone (which I wouldn’t anyway, because I hate people) and as much as I love my mother, I don’t think it would be a good idea to move in with her.

It’s just weird. Seeing dad all loved up. I never saw my parents loved up, so this is weird. I’m extremely happy that dad is happy, I like her as a person, I just don’t want her to come into my home and start changing it for herself.

rant ends....

That is all. I feel a little better getting it out of my system.

Today in 2 weeks time I'll be in Sydney... :) probably dying of exhaustion :) That's what happens when you travel in time :)

I might just become a Zombie until I go to Sydney. Just go to work (only 4 shifts left) and sit in my room. :)

I really need to do something about my blog labels.

Magic Wands & Golden Tickets

You may, or may not, have noticed that I have a little thing for "bad guys"
I don't know what it is that drives "good girls" (like myself) to the "bad boys". I can honestly say that in real life, I would never ever be in a relationship with someone that would treat me like shit... but in my fantasies... well that's something different.
My current (and re-occuring) "bad boy" crush is Scabior from Harry Potter. He's dirty and sadistic and completely fictional... but I love him.

As you know, I'm off to Sydney in February (only 6 work shifts left, but a little over 2 weeks until I go) for the Harry Potter exhibition, and I was hoping that I would be able to purchase Scabiors' wand. But after speaking to a few people that have been, apparently the choice of wands is limited to Harry, Ron, Hermione & Dumbledore *sad face* so I went on eBay and I found Scabiors' wand... and well bought it :)

I already have Severus Snapes' wand, the packaging is different to Scabiors' but that doesn't matter. The next wand on my list is Sirius Blacks :) I'm hiding my Harry Potter exhibition ticket in Snapes wand box :)

Yay! I get a "Very Important Muggle" lanyard to keep (yay!), the exhibition book and the audio tour :) GAH! The closer it gets the more excited I become. My poor sister Alex (who can't afford to come) is starting to get annoyed when I talk about it, I know it's sad she can't come, but I have the right to be excited! FUCK YEAH!

GeekCraft - Ludo

Ludo the friendly huge monster from 1986 movie Labyrinth. I LOVE LUDO! But don't have any Ludos' in my collection... So I went searching. I didn't find anything that I really really wanted but I did find these awesome Ludo GeekCraft :)

Felted Ludo by fairyspit (sadly it's not available anymore, if it was I would buy it!)

More Important Things!

Listening to "O Holy Night" at the moment. There is nothing wrong with listening to Christmas Carols when it's not Christmas... "O Holy Night" is my FAVOURITE Christmas Carol. Do you have a favourite Christmas Carol?

What is everyone doing for Australia Day? Well what are my Australian readers doing? If you're not Australian you will just be doing what you normally do on a Thursday.

I'm having a movie day with my friend Jen. We are doing the most unpatriotic thing... staying INSIDE and watching movies made by Americans (and Brits)... but it's a good list of movies so far!!

It's not called a "Sexy Man Movie Marathon" for nothing... Can anyone recommend some other films featuring SEXY MEN!

I'm just being emo in my room. Dad's girlfriend and her son are over, I still feel very uncomfortable with them, plus I don't talk much, and there is no point me sitting there not talking, when I could be doing something more productive... like blogging and playing Minecraft!

A Post About Me, Sydney & Minecraft!

Picspam... this one is a little bit different because I took all the photos.

I’ve been using an iPhone app called Hipstamatic, it’s not free. I purchased it for $5.99 and then you can purchase more “lenses” “film” and “flashes” in app for from 99c to $1.99.

It’s like Instagram but you have more choices in filter options. You can mix film and lenses to get different effects, and the most awesome option... Shake to randomise, which is heaps of fun :)

3 weeks until I go to Sydney. I’ve decided not to plan too much once I’m there and just go with it. When I plan everything down to the second I get stressed out, so I’ve decided to just chill and have fun. Im excited about going to Toronga Zoo and seeing animals I’ve never seen before, like the Kodiak Bear and Condor and Snow Leopard... So EXCITED!

I went through all the photos on my iPhone... all 1568 of them. Its amazing how much a complete stranger could probably learn about me by what photos where on my iPhone... and my obsessions over the last couple of years!

Melissa’s Epic Adventure of Awesomeness Checklist

• Window Seat into Sydney
• Train from Sydney Airport to Hotel (MUST REMEMBER NOT TO PACK TOO MUCH)
• Harry Potter Exhibition
• Purchase of AWESOME Harry Potter merchandise! (I want another wand... I have Snapes’ wand already, I really want Scabiors’ but I don’t think it will be available, so maybe Lucius Malfoy or Draco Malfoy :D)
• Successfully journey through Sydney City Centre (by foot or Public Transport) to find the Ferry Wharf.
• Get on the right Ferry to Toronga Zoo
• See awesome animals! Take awesome photos. (I’m taking my sisters Canon EOS digital SLR Camera... it’s heavy as fuck, but takes awesome photos)
• Take photos of Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge
• Find Bunn Street (it’s rather close to where I’m staying)
• DON’T PANIC!

I am extremely nervous about going on my own, but with all the shit that’s going on with my family at the moment it will be good to get away from them... especially over Valentines Day...


I got a hold of the newest version of Minecraft (it was actually posted by Mojang) which features a new biome... JUNGLES! and it's epic! The trees are HUGE! It's going to be so much fun to build real tree houses that span between trees... also Vines that are attached to solid blocks are climbable :)

That's all for today. It's been so hot lately :( Stupid hot weather!
