I Friggin' Crappin' Love Everything

I just keep having nice times!

Work has been work, other stuff is popping up here and there, which is nice.
I got home from work at 10 the other night so I basically slept. Saturday I worked until 9 and Lauren and I went and hung at Josh's place and met his nee housepal and a couple other pals. Basically we hung the heck out. Josh was having some high times: entertaining. Today I had breakfast at Lauren's work and got to see lovely lovely Agata, which was heavenly. Then I made my way to the RMIT open day to find out about the visual arts course they offer there, for next year. I was a bit worried about feeling overwhelmed by everything because it's so big- a TAFE and a uni- but once I found the creative arts building, I walked into the drawing/painting studio and there was just a teacher in there hanging! So I had a good chat to her about the course and I am feeling pretty excited. I can do it full time and be covered by HECS and she explained the purpose of the course and when I said I mainly wanted to do it just to 'do art' for a while and immerse myself in art practice, she said that's pretty much what the course is designed to teach you. I was also a little intimidated by the level of work required to get in (read: talent) but to be honest most of the first year stuff I saw was not dissimilar to that of the Hawker college art shows. I mean it was still totally impressive, but not as out-of-reach as I had expected. So that's comforting. So it's portfolio preparation from now until my interview, which will probably be November. Oh I like the future.

Walking up to the building, I was thinking about the little things about what my lifestyle would be like if I did study there, like catching the same tram as Lauren in the morning and getting off a few stops before her and saying, 'have a good day! See you tonight' and then going off to the painting studio. Or getting totally absorbed by a book I had to read for an art theory lesson and having a crazy night of drawing based on that. And meeting people and seeing them at school. Oh. I want that.

Loz and I did the groceries today and made our way to the city to go have some more hangs with Josh at his workplace and then we took a train to see southwell's gig in Brunswick. On the train there was a group of very jolly young men were singing their hearts on the train and Lauren and I were loving how funny they were. When we got off, one of them drunkenly opened the train door and said 'you...girls are ugly' and it was sort of hilarious...way to be frank, jolly train man. Then on the way home, Lauren said 'aww, I loved those singing train men until they called us ugly' and that slayed me. Hahahahah oh catchy batchy. Bushi bushi.

Basically I'm ecstatic all of the time these days. Tomorrow night we're having three lovely boyfriends over for dinner and The Shining.
