I'm fine.
I'm heaps fine.
For those that don't know, I'm doing radio school now, which is all sorts of exciting! It's just a 12-week Introduction to Radio course that I'm doing right now but it's already leading into a ton of more interesting stuff. I've been recommended for the Voiceover course, which could be a lot of fun (I also think it's up in the GC...win!) and only last night I found out about another whole area of the radio biz that seems like a great career path (Production ftw!). The course has been going on only three weeks now and I've already made some great contacts at Mix and Austereo which is exciting, and we have a few more field trips planned in the upcoming weeks so that number should grow! This really is a "It's all about the people you know" kind of industry, so I've really got off on the right foot here!
My weekly radio show on TripleBfm, On The Wireless, is still chugging along okay. My presenting skill and programming is getting better; it's not quite so random as it was in the beginning. I've somewhat caved in a little and turned it into a bit more of a Top 40 style pop show, but my playlists are always still going to be littered with new little indie-pop finds I make and also some of the greatest pop tunes of all time. I'm having a blast doing it, and from all reports I've started to gather a dedicated fanbase, which I am chuffed as chips about! (Speaking of...if you want to get in on the OTW madness, check out my Twitter at www.twitter.com/onthewireless, or tune in every Sunday from 8pm on 89.1FM!)
Hmm...other big news... OH! My sister Lis got married to Shane this weekend! We had fantastic weather for it, everyone looked stunning, and the reception was SO much fun! I'm so proud of my sister...she did good! The whole event was simply magic, and yeah...I even got in on the whole typical wedding thing. I partook in the following:
1) I spent the better part of SEVEN HOURS getting ready
2) I drank a fair helping of champagne
3) I did the Nutbush with my family
4) I boozed and schmoozed with most of my family
5) I ate the most amazing caek ever (It wasn't a lie!)
6) I hooked up with my Groomsman (!)
It. Was. Epic. Could not have asked for a better wedding. And now Lis and Shane are off on their honeymoon tomorrow arvo...they'd better bring me back something cool! (Although, as I said to Shane, even if it's just some bog paper from some obscure European airline I've never heard of, I'll be happy!) I'm sharing housesitting duties with Shane's bro, the Russman and his ladylady Steph. (Well, I'm on Project Runway duties anyway! And that's pretty damn important, amirite??! :D)
There's not a great deal much else happening in Camp Tish-wa right now. Back to reality I guess. A few weeks ago I fled reality in a HUGE way by disappearing to Melbourne for a couple of days with the sole intent of playing video games. To quote that random guido on 4chan, shit was SO cash. Although, and it comes to no surprise, I kind of lost my crap a little being back in Melbournetown again, so I tried leeching onto the nearest kind soul to make the pain go away. It did. Kind of. Then another new pain started and I got a little...attached. Still am, to be honest. But you know, I harden the fuck up and keep on marching with my head held high. Because that's what a woman does. Or at least, that's what this one does. She's learned the best way to get on with life is to move on at the first sign of defeat. Being a bleeding heart who hangs onto hope for too long will only wind up hurting twice as bad. So you know...it's my turn to be an emotional void. It seems to be working!
That said. Right at this second, I have realised what the date is. July 1st. (And yes...I'm crying. Y'all know I still get mooginsy whenever I'm reminded of...well, you know...)
*about ten seconds later*
Okay I'm over it. ^_^
lol, my health has been hilarious of late. Not only have I lost a buttload of weight heaps quick but I've been upping and downing a bit more than usual. You know what's funny? I heaps don't care. Letting my moods go crazy and letting myself be a nutcase is interesting when you don't have anything else to do. I don't feel for those who have to deal with me, I keep myself in check (for the most part). I take my pills sometimes. It's no biggie. The only time I can safely say it has sucked is when I've gotten too far below the empty line on the fueltank and I've needed to reach out, and then I chose to reach out to a Thwomp. Bad judgement I guess.
I don't really have that much else planned for the future now. Just keep going to school, keep doing my show and maybe find some work along the way. I've been invited to a house party on Friday night which I'm heaps excited about. I'm glad that the host and I didn't get weird. He's truly a great dude and I look forward to being mates and sharing fashion tips and maybe down the track a few more awkward drunken pashes in the tent. Which reminds me of another mate Who I haven't seen in ages and miss heaps and would like to hang out with more again soon. Once again, it's a case of "now I'm over it". Much restecp going out to that camp right now! And then there's this new friend I spent some quality time with at the wedding/after the wedding... Heapsheapsheaps catching up with him again. I may or may not be getting some serious warm fuzzy vibes from this general direction... :D
Oh, and everyone else, y'all got my number. You know what to do.
Okay, time to catch some zees. If you want some more l337 .tish//wa action, follow me on www.twitter.com/ppch1337! That's my personal one full of all kinds of intimate, personal bloggy randomness. (i.e. the good stuff)
Adios bitchez! <3
