Cake is nice

After finding a quiz on burn out on Gill's LJ, I was looking at the other quizzes and I found this one, feeling the sweet tooth hitting me.

You Are a Lemon Cake
Strong, sexy, and overpowering.
You know who you are, and you're not afraid to show the world your fabulous self.
You're confident, charming, and extremely popular.

I can't say those would have been my first thoughts on a lemon cake but i then thought of the zest... which made me think of semolina lemon cake and that's just... *drool* it is pretty powerful stuff so I get it! Jan, that list of yours wasn't helping out either! I know a conspiracy when I see one... :P

I'm currently munching on a Hobnob so, you win.

Meanwhile, I'm only a few hours shy of finishing Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination and already I'm imagining conspiracies against me. Crazy, rather overly fantastic read, but definitely good fun! I do like Helen Fielding's writing style.

Hmmm, seems a bit of catch up is in order since I last posted... what was there? Oh yes, the Westlife concert was surprisingly fun. I honestly didn't expect to have as good a time as I did (I was also brought back to my Shane Filan crushing days... sometimes I hate being such a girly girl)and going with Mel and Ryan made it the best. I wish one of us had brought a camera though. Pics would have been good! I love those two to death. Afterwards, got a lift home with Menchie and the gals and ended up having ice cream, pancakes and chips (well, the first two for them, the last for me :P) in Parra a little after midnight, before having to drive all the way out to near Liverpool to get Marlina home and thus ensuring that I wasn't going to make it into work tomorrow. Thank goodness for a flexible to the point of ridiculous work timetable!

Then later that week, had dinner with the labbies and then immediately after, I headed back to UNSW (so yeah, I left work, only to come back... very, very sad) for the start of session party at the Roundhouse with Jen and Ri . The decision had been rather up and down until during the dinner when I asked Ri for the directions to her new place in Bondi, she told me to just go to uni and I realised, oh, so we're going after all. I was sure it would reek of firstyears (yes, I am arrogant) and really didn't expect much... but second pleasant surprise of the week was that we had a blast! Ended up there till 3am coz we found the best group of randoms to talk to in the end, amongst all the terrible music, the drunken babble and scary dancing! To Andre, Chris, Chris, Chris, Anthony, Tom, Igor, Slav, Kira, Egg, Swiss guy, new Seven Hills guy, Poker King guy, Prague guy and everyone who bummed Ri's smokes for making the night memorable! Damn it, we should've gotten a pic, but no one thought to bring a camera to this thing.

Next day, Jen and I got to chill at Ri's new place in Bondi... it's lovely and there is a perpetual breeze coming in from the beach and at night, you can sometimes hear the waves... honestly, I'm envious.

Then last week, after some rather interesting days at work, it was to the Blacktown Show with Ange, Kyle and the girls and ok, notes: Kyle is manic in any car-related ride, the Flashdance ride should be outlawed for making me so dopey for 20 minutes after riding it (I stopped drinking for a reason!), Kayla could not be cuter on a jumping castle, Shane is terrible at the pop-up and scare you to death greeting and Tracey is a legend :D

Oh, and I am now officially an Ugly Betty and a Grey's Anatomy fan. Hurrah for Seven's Sunday lineup ;)


As to this week? One of my friends is going to Uruguay to teach English and his farewell is on Friday... I couldn't be prouder. Go Francis! And Katherine's birthday shindig is on Saturday and it's the gals so it'll be good :D Here's to hoping I get over this danged cold before all that!
