Has it really come to this?
Instead of formally inviting someone to something via a lovely hand written invitation that had to be sent a week before the actual occasion, has it really come to this?
2 hours before the actual event happening sending a mass invite on Facebook.
Gee how personal, that must've taken nano seconds to invite all 374 friends off facebook to your BBQ, I wonder if they'll all remember to bring a plate of food?
Hardly
So I rock up to this BBQ (and if you're wondering, no I didn't take a plate of food) to find that out of the 374 friends you invited via facebook only 5 have shown up, 3 of which, you live with.
Apparently Fall Out Boy were too busy to come to your BBQ.
I mean seriously, these days it seems even if it's a formal event a text message 3 days before the event is supposedly good enough.
Well not in my book!
Til next time!

The Blog about me
I thought I would take a break from talking about random things and talk about myself for once.
I'm a (almost) 23 year old female, trying to finishing my Arts degree at university.
About 18 months ago I almost died due to complications from a bladder infection that turned gangrenous. After spending some time in a coma I had to relearn how to walk, write and cope with what had happened.
I've had a shitload of surgery, and with still more to come it has made it difficult to study let alone have a job or anything like that.
So for me I blog because I want something to break up the boringness in my life.
Plus I enjoy sharing my opinon with randoms : P

Time to look at the fail room and the awesome pile
Today I’m bringing back my two favourite things
The awesome pile and the fail room.
(hopefully they will be back every Friday)
So lets start with the Fail Room
*My upstairs neighbours whom play techno music until 3am at least 3 times a week. Manners; they don’t have them.
*I know this is somewhat late but it’s still a fail, but Brynne Groden‘s dress at the brownlow. IT was just plain WRONG
*the Cheese and Vegemite concoctions new name of “iSnack 2.0” more like iFail 2.0. It was pulled off the shelves within four days.
*Gaiaonline.com’s lotto, where in which they’ll give you 2 of the 5 winning numbers if you pay 98c (american) just so you can win virtual gold.
Who said you can’t make money off nothing?
Also considering that site is PG 13, why is there gambling allowed?
The awesome pile
*Mao’s Last Dancer being released as a movie. A brilliant adaptation from the book. Well acted and shot.
* Steve o’s (Jackass fame) campaign to stop frog dissection in schools
Til next time!

wireless broadband USBS and Australia
I'm here to discuss wireless USB's and Australia.
Why?
Because wireless internet makes life easier, with some companies cheaper and well I don't tangle myself in cords
Unfortunately for me I live 5 minutes out of Hobart CBD in Tasmania, which crosses Three network off my list. I am also told that whilst Dodo, Optus and Virgin are still sold in my state that there is hardly any coverage and where there is coverage it's pretty poor.
Vodafone and GRL network (a subsidary of Vodafone) have coverage where I live but there's huge blackspots and it quite enjoys dropping out atleast once an hour. That said quite quick when it works as well as economic.
Telstra has great coverage but the prices are sky high for example $30 for 225MB compared to $29 for 1.5GB with GRL, so not economical really for university students, unemployed or well anyone earning under 50k a year.
Lets face it.
Australia + internet = fail
