I find pseudonyms on the Internet funny. Aqua, for example, calls me Basil in her blog and my boy SnakeBalls. What is funny is that her dog's name is Basil, so for all we could read, her dog and some testicles of an amphibian are dancing at her house and playing Pictionary. Hahaha.
I guess it's mostly important to conceal identity - especially now I am going into teaching. I dont really want my kiddies to search me up on Google and find that I was playing a strange Christian variety of Strip Pictionary on Easter Sunday night whilst drinking Merlot. Probably not going to go down well in the staffroom or aid my professional identity.
I am writing my first essay of the year, and its been quite a few months since I last wrote an essay. I must say, I'm quite rusty. Only 1000 words should take me no time at all.
Anyway, Tobes went surfing last night with Sair and some crew. I don't know how to surf. I don't have very good balance standing with two feet on the ground, so try to imagine me on the water! I do enjoy the beach and boogie boarding, so maybe I can convince Aqua to relearn how to surf with me sometime, but to do it in a sneaky way so we can get kinda good. Problem is, I dont have the time.
I went out for Pizza instead with Big K which was fun. We stopped off at the Horse House - one of the sharehouses of our uni mates - and ate leftover Easter choccy and watched an awesome storm roll through. I haven't seen rain like that since San Fransisco. Bok lent me her gumboots to walk home in and I chatted all the way back under two umbrellas with Big K. He was grumpy because he doesnt like be outside in the rain but I was having a great time, especially laughing at his expense.
Watching the lightning made me miss the boy and my own crew. Cool things aren't as cool without your homies.

Easter
Today is Good Friday and I am taking Tobes to Warrnambool. My extended family (read - LARGE) go down every year at easter. The last person I pulled along to that was my ex-ex (as in, very long ago) boyfriend Phil. That was not the funnest time I've ever had, but then again, Phil and I really weren't ever meant to be.
I'm looking forward to spending some time away from the house. We are taking the youth on camp on Wednesday but I really feel I need some time aside from that just going on some alone walks on the beach and around the park. Because I know the place pretty much back to front, it will be fun showing Tobes around. It's pretty boring for me now, but having someone new there means it will be funner.
We're only going for about a night or so but I overpacked (of course). This was because I couldnt be bothered planning the packing, I just got a bag, zipped it open and threw clothes in its general direction till it was full. Good way of doing it, I reckon.
Now I'm going to eat some lunch and play Super Mario Kart with Cam until Tobes drives round to pick us up. We need to swing past Werribee as well to get something so we probably wont make it to Warrnambool till after dinner. But oh well, the road trip is half the fun, except for the bit when your butt goes numb.
Ps. All thanks to Cordelia for my spunky new layout! Mwah!

Die Hard 4.0
The weekend was fun as fun can be.
Well, mostly. There were times when I got a bit over hanging out with everyone and sort of just wanted to be in the country somewhere with a very good book. I woke up this morning absolutely freaked out about all the work I have for uni and organising the youth group camp. I prayed about it a bit and went and did some exercise (shock, gasp, horror!) When I got back I felt much better. Thanks God.
Plus, I really would like to spend some quality time (yuck, that's love languages talk for you good Christiany friends of mine) with Tobes. Recently I've mostly seen him when he's either been extremely tired or we've been with a stack of other people.
But tonight he mentioned something about going out to dinner with his Uncle Ron and wife Annie. That'd be nice. They are here as a SUPRISE! for J&B. Keeping their 25 Year Church Anniversary Suprise Party secret was sooooo much fun. Cordelia and I ran around most of Sunday giggling with sneakiness. Franklin and Tankerus were like "You guys get waaay too much fun out of organising suprises." Heehee
We also made the most A-MAZING lemon slice. It has three distinct layers of goodness, crispy top, gooey centre, crunchy base. And yes, you only have to make TWO layers and the magicalness transforms them into two.
Then we watched Die Hard 4, which can i say was MY choice of movie and I personally feel, pretty successful. I was a bit grumpy by that point though, but once it got going I sorted out a bit.
And now I read on delia's blog that she's all sickly? That's no good, especially not after our weekend of funness.
OH! I didnt even write about dinner with the Espagnol's and the roly-poly dog. Oh, well keep you hanging.

Zazzing
So, when Cordelia reads this I want her to say "mmmm, yes okay."
Cordelia,
My blog is boring-er than yours. Yours has funky links and scrolling photos and a cool layout and mine is all "ooooh I'm a preset. Preset me to your ASS."
You know.
So, you should help make my blog look cute.
Like me.
You know?
Love
BaSiL.
In other news, I went to a brunch (at 9am?! Yeah, tell me how that works, that my friends is BREAKFAST) for Han's bridesmaids and 'posse.' She has 6 bridesmaids and about 6 women who are her 'posse' of friends so its going to be pretty mega. We also went shopping for bridesmaids dresses (just 4 of us girls though) which was fun. Her wedding colours are gorgeous and wonderful so we'll all look divine. We didnt find any dresses but got heaps of cool ideas and found out what suits us and what doesn't.
I cant believe she's getting married. I said "oh, she's the first one to leave the nest. The friendship nest." Haha.
I still have a cold and my brain is a little dead. My manfri (man-friend, haha) is apparently at band practice, at least thats what Sarah told me. Go figure, hey!
My room looks like small leprechauns had a bachelors party and left behind a mess for their mum's to clean up.
That's all.
