Its official... This time next month I'll be chilling with Luella_DeVille in California! I got my Rancid ticket! Coney Island is gonna rule! Then I'm off to London to hang out with a top bird that I met on here, KatieCoffin!
It still doesn't feel real yet, but most of the time when I think about it I look like this:

Grrrrr, the stoopid computer wont let me book flights...error it says! Grrrrrrr I say! Then I rang the number they've got listed if you require assistance and they told me they'd get back to me with an email....grrrrr again! I don't want to book another flight now in case that one gets sorted out then I'd have paid for 2....grrrr some more!
Anyway, it looks like this travel stuff is actually happening! Its all gotten a bit scary now that it's real!
Also does anybody know how I could buy a Rancid ticket? I can't find any site that will let me buy tix outside of the U.S and it would suck if I went all the way to Salt Lake City and it had sold out or something, especially since my only purpose for going to SLC is to see Rancid..... can anyone help???

Ahoy there mateys!
If any of you buccaneer types across the seas can share your knowledge on how a scurvy lass such as myself can abandon ship at LA and NYC without being forced to walk the plank, t'would be much appreciated. Also any recommendations of things to do, places to see, hostels to stay or whatever would be tops! But mostly the info on how not to killed... yeah, I got over the pirate talk, I'll turn like that.
Any suggestions for where to buy punk records/clothes/stuffs, or any more typically alternative areas to visit... shit like that. Thanx!
Love ValGal

How weird is it when things are going shit for sooo long (real time, a year) then all of a sudden the future of your entire life begins to look much more promising within the span of a week (real time, a week).
I got made permanent at work, which means I'm now guaranteed a 40hr week and wage plus the benefits of holiday/sick pay. I don't know how it all works in the rest of the world but over here it seems to be a rare opportunity to be offered a full time job, its mostly casual work where you can just easily be disposed of at any time.
I start volunteer work at an animal shelter this Thursday. I went on a tour of the place yesterday and there's lots of puppies and cutey dogs there so it should be fun. Its also going to be a tremendous help towards passing my animal studies course and the hands on experience should increase my chances of getting a job in the industry. Yes thats right kids I do have aspirations beyond garbage picking!
And, and and and some hot punk boy that is friends with my friends boyfriend (what?) asked my friend about me! (did you get that?) Basically some cute boy wants me! Awesome!!! In recent times I've become an utterly cynical bitch so I'm not getting my hopes up too much, I know he's cute but I've never actually had a conversation with him so there's still high chances he could be a tool. I'm staying hopeful though, its been nearly 2 years of being single, surely the universe is gonna throw me a bone (literally
)!!
Alright boys and girls, stay cool

The bad news is I busted my leopard print sunglasses, sad but true, especially since I still need them even though its winter here. For serious, I broke out into a sweat the other day, either global warming is getting real bad or I need to lay off the muffins.
The mediocre news is I've been made permanent at work, so basically now I'm a garbage picker who earns less money but has the "priviledge" of having job security, plus holiday and sick pay and all that shit. I would have preferred to stay casual and earn the extra weekly cash but whatever, I guess this way I know I'm definitely going to have work which means I can definitely save enough cash to be outta here... early next year, March-ish me thinks.
Also, my application to volunteer at an animal shelter has been accepted, so I'm attending an induction this weekend and I assume I'll be working there soon. Its kind of a pain in the ass giving up a chunk of the little free time I get but its good for the neglected puppies and its good for me as it helps me with my animal care course, which I'm doing very well in, straight A's thank you very much!
The super duper awesome news is I got a new tattoo today and it fuckin' rules!

Its Saturday night, and as some may dance, drink and take drugs others choose to indulge in vegetarian schnitzel wraps and vanilla slices whilst watching sex and the city.... and by others I mean me, and me alone.
One of the many downsides of living at the arse end of the world is that we rarely get to see decent international punk bands, but a couple of weeks ago I heard and witnessed for the first time The Rabble, from New Zealand, and they fookin rule!! Live they sounded exactly like this...
It was a proper punk gig, that went all day for $10 in a dingy little pub on the coast a couple of hours out of Sydney, and they even had the singer from The Unseen do a few songs with them!
Its partly boredom, but mostly because they are so darn adorable, that I'm slightly obsessed with collecting these Momiji dolls....
I bet the world is beautiful in the Spring. I'm quite certain I will see for myself during the next one... your next one that is!
Later!

I has got me a passport!! And it is red!! Nice one!
Okay so I'm excited about that! Gimme a break, life is fairly boring/shit/and feels like its going nowhere at the moment so anything that goes right makes me happy! I had so much trouble getting that god damn passport so its nice to have it in my eager little hands! And it just makes the whole travel dream feel a little more real. There's a huge part of me that is so tempted to just ditch things here and jump on a plane to the states but then as per usual stupid logic kicks in and I start to think of the future, although I'm sure it would be the best month ever I'm eventually gonna have to come back home, and would be returning to nothing.
So here's what I'm thinking. Stick around here for the rest of the year then travel early next year, the states first, then head out to U.K and from there some of Europe. I've been obsessively (me obsessive? No!) looking into it all, perusing hostel.com daily and scanning travel brochures and such. I'm starting to get super excited about it all!! I'm a bit bummed that I had issues with my passport and couldn't go now, it would've been so awesome to see Rancid and Gogol Bordello in NYC. But like I said before I'm probably better off holding out a little longer and having enough money so I don't have to worry. Now I'm just hoping that I don't face any drastic changes, like losing my job, in the next 6 months or so, that would totally fuck everything up!
Work sux, apart from obvious reasons involving getting splattered with garbage juice, the cute boys got fired. Love sux, only because I don't have it, but the more I think about it it's not a good time to get into anything serious at the moment as it would only complicate plans, however it would be nice to have a sexual relationship with someone who doesn't ignore me in public and send me random text messages requesting dildo shows (geez I can pick em). Real Estates suck, the assholes raised our rent, plus were losing a roommate soon which bumps up the cost of living even more. But on the upside....
Giant pink $5 ear muffs from markets rule, now I can listen to my ipod at work without going deaf and can also make silly comments all day about losing my muffs or dropping my pink bits. Chocolate rules, it fills the empty voids in my life oh so well. Lemon tarts rule, no explanation necessary. Dreary rainy days rule, they fill the air with this lonely but comforting feeling and also give a good excuse to not do washing. My tri hawk rules, must take some pics.
So its the same as always here, boring, but I'm remaining optimistic that good things are to come soon.
Much Love,
ValGal

Well hello!
I was planning to follow up my last series of complaint packed blogs with something a little more upbeat and exciting such as I have a new set BUT I just recieved a email stating my latest set hasn't even been accepted for member review! Whoa! I didn't even know that was possible! I was a little worried about the response this set would recieve so maybe its a good thing its not going up but I cant help but be annoyed as Amilie and I put a fair bit of effort into it. The idea was to portray my sugar addiction and be a candy junkie! Maybe because it was more arty than sexual? Maybe "didn't meet requirements" is just a polite way of getting rid of girls they don't want on the site? Who knows! But anyway here's a glimpse of the set that didn't make it to MR, Sugar Hooker.
So on that note I'm off to fill the empty voids in my life with food... mmm pommes!
