Memories from Kindy and Preschool.

July 21st 2008 07:45
Ladybird


I have a few memories from my Kindy/Preschool days.

One was with my lying in a Hammock. I was bored. Really, really terribly bored. I wasn’t such a terrible fan of lying down doing nothing. In retrospect, it was kind of prophetic.

I remember pulling a pin out of the corkboard beside me, and sticking it into the roof of my mouth. Why did I do this? Seriously; I don’t know. To be honest, when I get bored in the presence of inanimate objects, even today, I’m more likely to injure myself than any other time.


And singing, outside with a group performance. It was some kind of an Aussie theme. I know, because I was wearing a cork hat. I remember being confused. I was confused a lot. Perhaps because I was very internalised, in my own little world. Maybe.

In preschool a girl always tried to trip me. It kept me fairly angry towards her. At one point I confronted her friend, and told her that they were being mean to me. She told me it had nothing to do with it.

“But she’s your friend!” I said.

“Ladybugs are my friends,” said she, indicating to the small creature crawling up her finger.

How To Save Money When You Shop

February 20th 2008 07:33
Be Nice to People.

I'm serious. That's all it is. If you're nice to the people who serve you, you'll get something in return.

Now, of course we all know that the Casuals who help you out don't get to choose the prices. However, you'd be alarmed by how much influence they still have over how much you pay. When it comes to shopping instant Karma is the Rule, not the Exception.
Mr Potato Head
Customers who get discounts are like this; friendly, smiley and with a keen sense of humor

For example, major Supermarkets work under a POS System. This means that with items that have no bar code, the person serving you will press the button that corresponds to the product. However, as POS is a constantly updated system, often modified to include new products. It's not rare that a mistake is made. For example, two types of Capsicum are listed, but not the third. And guess who gets to decide if YOU get charged for the cheap one or the expensive one?

Hope you were nice.

Bookshops are another interesting one. Often, the large Hardcover version of a book will be put on Remainder, making it insanely cheap, while the paperback is still full price. Chances are if you're a nice person trying to buy the full price paperback, the person serving you will let you know that you can save about fifteen dollars.

If you were mean, at least you know what that chuckling is, as you leave.

Blip Blog Interviews: Miss Nomer

September 3rd 2007 08:10
Interview with Miss Nomer.

What was the worst heartbreak you’ve ever received?

Spending two months holding the love of my life's hand while he was slowly dying in intensive care.

What is the meaning of life?

Look at your past for the lessons, take each lesson in hand as though it was set in stone, build a bridge and get over the past and move on...

What happened that put you in the situation you’re now in?


I fell in love with a man who promised me the world, took me half way round it then left me...

What is something in life you always wished you were able to do but either weren’t able to or haven’t had the chance to… and why?

Be emotionally mature enough to have a child or children...now its too late

If you could be someone else at any point in history, who would you be?

Cancer - A Not So Memorable Event

August 20th 2007 13:33
I had Cancer.

It all sounds very dramatic doesn't it. And it was, for most involved. Just not quite SO much for me. Not that I can remember. I was young. 2-ish. So my recollections of the time aren't the most clear.

It was Neuro-Blastoma BTW. Not Leukemia. Only little kids develop it I think.

My first memory ever actually, is Cancer related. I was sitting down. I pulled up my shirt and looked at the tubes. I didn't quite 'get it' I recall. I looked down at them, Mum said something and I kind of went mm.

After that... I think thats my only Cancer memory. After that the next I can think of is... Lego? Gosh. Hungry Hippos. Captain Planet. Climbing Trees. Preschool. Kindy. Kindy was a 1994 memory, because I read the year off a piece of paper with handprints. Sticking a tack in my mouth. The mean girl and her sad friend whose only real friends were ladybugs. Jurrassic Park. Star Was Figurines. Monster in my Pocket. People at a meeting, witha sign saying 'Leading Schools, BLEEDING Schools. Etc. Ect. Meeting the Japanese girl next door. Being babysat.

Distracted.

Apparently I went through craving. Rice Bubbles. Um, Bacon. All sorts of stuff. I lost my hair, and I'd pull off my Beanie to surprise people. Heh.

I now know two allergies. Thia-TEPA and Flufloxxacillan.

My Mum would joke when she spoke to us about drugs, telling me I'd had enough drugs for one lifetime already and I didn't need any more.

I don't talk about it a lot as it feels disrespectful to people who have serious forms of Cancer. If I discuss it it's quite candid. I'm not uncomfortable about it. It's just like, I don't want to be whining about something that I survived and don't recall a lot. Fact is, I got off lightly. Could have been a dozen things worse.

Having had Cancer hasn't really impacted on my daily life. I guess I think about death more than many, but I just think a lot. My scar hurts sometimes (when Voldemort's around ) because it still has stitches, as dissolvable ones would have dissolved too fast. I go to the hospital yearly, but more for their sake than mine. I need to have something double checked before I can give blood.

I tell people my scar is a shark bite. Then they don't believe me when I say it was really Cancer.

Blipblog.net Interviews Nina

May 11th 2007 04:37
Nina. How do you feel about being naked in front of people?

Being literally naked in front of people is not something that I think I would be comfortable with, and you aren't going to see me at a nudist colony or beach any time soon. As for being naked in the figurative sense, I only bare my soul to those closest to me. I may divulge the occasional snippet to the world at large, but I like having some secrets and mystery
