I've been looking through job listings on the ABC and such, and have found that, as expected, quite a few of them would require relocating. Now, I've been itching to travel for quite some time and God knows that Brisbane is an inspiration wasteland, so let's have a look at some of the exotic locations I could be stationed at when I graduate this year!

KALGOORLIE, W.A.


With an average of 6.2 rapes per capita, Kalgoorlie is Australia's most friendly country town. Thanks to the mining boom there are a plethora of employment opportunities such as digging for rocks, smashing rocks, burning rocks and smashing small rocks against bigger rocks to make tiny rocks. Popular pass times include getting your rocks off, rocking out and getting stoned. However, if mines aren't your thing you can also have fun at any number of pits, quarries and dug-outs.

LAUNCESTON, TAS


Tasmania is known for such technological marvels as the Internet filter trials and bong innovation. From a comparative point of view, Launceston is Tasmania's clitoris and as such there's a certain pungent smell about it, particularly given that it's surrounded by seafood. Locals take pride in being able to claim that they're from the "ninth-biggest non-capital city in Australia" and will tell you about how fast the city is evolving, going from 4 railway lines in the 1800's to none.

MOUNT ISA, QLD


Named after a local Saturday night passtime, Mount Isa is at the heart of Queensland's fertile loins and produces silver, ore, and sodomy. Baby-eating dingoes patrol the streets to help curb population growth, though the growing amount of miners moving there means the city has had to employ a massive 35-strong taxi fleet. Visitors are invited to join the locals in going for a traditional kangaroo or aboriginee hunt, however if you feel like joining in the arts scene, Donno the tradie will be only too happy to teach you how to draw in the dust using the traditional method of urine splattering. And who knows, maybe you'll be one of the many people who find love at the local women's shelter!

So many places to travel, they all make Gundawindi look bland in comparison! (Though that's on the cards too.) With so many options, how can I lose?

Phew, back from the south. It was an exhausting few days. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend as much time in Sydney as I'd hoped, instead hanging around Gosford with Matt's father who was prone to hissy fits. And it was raining the whole time, argh! I was so moist ;_;

Anyway, here's a few pictars.


Obligatory "I WENT TO SYDNEY" shot. Nearby was the a Guylian cafe where we stopped for choclatey goodness. My $10 hot chocolate tasted like ass, but the complimentary candy was made of win :P


Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to go inside Naruto, but let me tell you- that pavement was dry as a bone before a flock of 13 year old yaoi fangirls walked by.

Oh, and by the way- I did end up stopping by Shibuya after all.



Derp.

It was lovely spending time with Matt on a nice little interlude to uni hassles, however speaking of which, I was pleasently surprised to find an e-mail in my inbox from the School of Journalism with the following statement in regards to my silly little doodles:

"The managing editor of Brisbane Times is interested in seeing some of your work and has asked to see three examples."

SHGFJDJAHDFSHJFDJA 3 examples?! GAH I don't know what to do, my best work resides on DeviantART and is animu/manporn. I dunno, maybe I should just chuck up a blog on Wordpress and throw all my junk there. But how the hell do I choose 3? ;_;

Dad: You should go and see your friends in Melbourne before you go back to Uni.
Me: Yeah, would be nice.
Dad: So do it already?

And so somehow, I have been bestowed with plane tickets and will be in the land of trams and trannies from Feb 6th-13th. Hopefully will be spending a lot of time harassing kitsunesakurano and hearing tales of Jarrod's homo-tastic clubbing adventures. Anyone feel like bar hopping?

In the meantime, let's celebrate Australia Day with this video Matt sent me depicting traditional Australian activities.

Slowly nursing myself back to sanity. Last night I was so anxious I felt like I was going to throw up -_-; My heart's still a bit racey.

Being the genius that I am, I've managed to schedule my first coversation class at Uni to coincide with my final Japanese exam. I'm hoping that I can finish a 2 hour exam in 90 minutes so I can rush out of there and be all punctual-like. Also, like everyone else in this recession-bound world, I'm having trouble finding a second job that ties in with my studies. The problem is that I need to keep my weekends free because that's the only time I really get to study, something that's virtually impossible if you're applying for casual positions. I've been looking at night work but there's very few things on offer. The only suitable position I've found - that spirit-crushing vocation known as data-entry - is miles away on the outskirts of Brisbane (if infact it is in Brisbane... maybe closer to Logan).

Money towards X-Japan concert in NY so far: $1000 once Jetstar refund me from that ill-fated Japan trip. That's enough to get me to NY but not back. I'm wondering if that's a bad thing.

Ugh, still feeling sick and on edge... however, I am somewhat brightened up by the fact that the shopping service Jess and I are going through has *finally* managed to track down this JSK for me! I suppose this will have to be my last major purchase if I want to be jetsetting to the northern hemisphere again. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I ventured over to Japan for that beautiful concert that saw me fulfilling a dream and dropping out of Uni. Oh, I miss it so badly... I want to be back in Shinjuku drinking $6 cups of tea and wandering up to the top floors of Marui One to drop a few hundred. Dammit, I've just realised how much I crave hot cans of sickly sweet vending machine-fresh tea >_>



Mmm'yep.
