kat's graduation is today, and i plan on being really obnoxious and loud when her name gets called.

i have lots to talk about, but i cant focus. i just helped my mum make a cheesecake, and i ate too much raw creamcheese mixture, and now i think i might be sick. ugh

home alone ... Saturday

so, i'm home alone this weekend, and i love it. i can get up when i want to, i can walk around naked, and i turn up mtv and dance around like a fag. i also dont go to bed until like, 5, because of damn sky tv. last night i watched :
* vanity fair with reese witherspoon... and i loved it. and everyone is good looking in it
* spanglish.... and i'm not kidding, i would have babies with adam sandler, just cuz he's so funny. i really liked that movie
* the laws of attraction , the one with james van derbeek and shannon sossaman. now this movie is all about drugs, sex, violence, and drugs. but i love it! and i hated james vanderbeek in dawson's creek, he made me want to vomit and i never found him attractive, but in this movie, he charms me.
* reality bites ( my own movie) ethan hawke. winona ryder. steve zahn. jeanine garofolo. early ninties. killer sound track. ethan hawke. I DONT NEED TO EXPLAIN.

anyway, i'd like to discuss some things i like and dont like:

1. i like, nay, i love ketchup. since i've been back, i've gone through about eight tenths of a bottle. i should be ashamed, but i'm not.
2. i dislike, beer. it makes me want to vomit.
3. i like, nay, i LOVE bloc party. they make me so happy. i would, and could listen to them 24/7 if i was allowed to.
4. i dislike, in fact, I STRONGLY DISLIKE ( hate is too strong a word, but believe me, i'm almost there ) SHAKIRA. i am sorry shakira, but you have no point. you cannot sing,but you occasionally yodel. you have a nice body, so do all the other singers, and you shaking your ass and swinging your hips is great, but now, so can all the other singers out there. your breasts are not small and humble and i dont think you really are a cat. please stop writing and singing stupid songs . i dislike you so very much.
5. i like the movie the royal tenenbaums. it clicks with me, and it makes me so content.
6. i dislike the american embassy, for not allowing me into their country right now. uh, thats gay.
7. i like, no, i WORSHIP my ipod. i'd be lost without it. i dont let the battery get even half down, just in case i'm out and the battery runs out. it's happend before, and it's not pretty. in SA, i also dropped it in the ocean, and it didnt work for two days as it was full with sand, and i walked around like a heroin addict going cold turkey. those were the most trauamtic days of my life.
8. i dislike acne. i'm at that stage right now where i've finaly graduated from teen acne, into full grown adult acne. rock on. keep it coming! oh wait, dont.
9. i like mangos,sarcasm, willy wonka, flipflops, not washing my hair, and not wearing bras. if i could go out, not wearing a bra, without my hair washed, wearing flipflops, arm and arm with willy wonka walking down the street eating pieces of mango, i'd be the happiest person ever. ( forever ever ever?) forever EVER
10. i dislike the idea of going to university. i have forgotten how to add and spell correctly and read textbooks and study ( not that i ever knew how to study) and i'm pretty sure i dont want to have to meet MORE new people. let's fast forward 4 years, and then i'll be good.

anyway, i am holding a dinner party tonight, and i have more food to prepare. thats right, i'm martha stewart. nay, ainsley harriot. oh man, i love him.
so, more dislike/likes later.


and, also, lileeeeeeeeeee: china sucks, africa's better.

Current mood: chipper

Current music: red hot chili pepers

i cant believe how wonderful it is out here, but how sometimes i get get pretty lonely.

over the weekend i did tons of shit... saturday we went to the beach and got ridiculously tanned, and then went up to a tavern up in hte township, and hung out with lunga all night, this awesome guy who kinda has a crush on me. i had drinks bought for me, and people wanting to talk about serious politics and how happy they were i was there, showing racism was coming to an end. i love the talks, but i wanted to dance! i got invited to many braais ( barbacues) at their shacks, and they want me to meet their families. its so chill.
on sunday we went to oudtshoorn, ostrich capital of the WORLD. there were millions of ostriches around, and they are the UGLIEST creatures you ahve ever seen. they are so ridiculous and silly. we went to these huge caves, rode camels and ostriches, went on a zipline cord across a lake and didnt fall in, went on bumper boats , played mini golf, went on go carts that went soooo fast, and sung spice girls on the way home. as we got closer, we got pizzas from a take away place, and took them to the beach where we watched the sun go down and put our feet in the water and paddled for hours. i mean, it's like a movie. we couldnt believe how lucky we were.
on monday we went to george to get our visas extended, that was HASSLE! we then went to the beach and got swiped under huge waves, jo kept on having to hold on to me. i went under so many times.
then today, a few of us baked 700 cookies for a bake sale tomorrow. we're trying to raise 4500 pounds so that we can send 65 kids to cape town for a week in september, on an educational tour. but so far, we dont have any money. i'd lvoe to find a way that people could send money to me for donations, i think i'll find a way.
on friday we go to cape town, and we're doing tons of stuff. i cant wait. miss you all!

i hope you're all jealous of how hot it is here... it's about 37 degrees, which is like, 80 F. and tomorrow it will be like, 42. score. but not, because we all laze about complaining about being hot and getting burnt being outside for three seconds.
which by the way, i did get burnt last week, and unfortunatly, i enjoyed the process of peeling off my skin, to the non delight of my housemates. but i'm obsessed with it, and i might burn myself again just to peel. gross eh?
on wednesday we went to monkey land , which is a huge enclosure with tons of free roaming monkeys. it was so fun, there was one that was kinda retarded and he just stuck his tounge out te whole timne. but, we dont really need to go, as we have a family of 20 monkeys outside our house, who we give fruit to. one has an albino baby, and it's so funny.b ut they get in hte house and steal our stuff, which sucks.
we've gone to all the beaches now, and we saw a shark in the water the other day and all had to run out. it was all like jaws and we all stayed out of the water for the rest of the day. and got burnt.
the kids are still amazing, i'm now directing a play in xkorsa , which is their language. god knows how i'm going to be able to do it, but they are so excited. my theatre lessons are well recieveed, and i have kids in streets coming up to me and recognizign me, even thou they are not in my class.
this weekend we went to a street bash in the townships, where we were the only white people. we met this awesome guy named oliver who is a high school student, ( but is 20) and he took us around and protected us. we are also friends with some bongo players, and tehy looked after us too. it was such an experience. i was just awed.
on sunday, oliver took us up to where the rastas live, and woah. they are such a peaceful community, and it's not just about weed and dreadlocks. it was so cool. we also walked around in the heat for 3 hours looking for hte place, but it was cool, because as we were walking around the townshpis, the kids just came up and held our handds. we started out as ten people, and by the time we got there we had 40 people. white people in the townships is a rarrity, so everyone comes out of their shacks to see us. one woman grabbed me and kissed me on the lips, and oliver told me she'd be telling everyone that she kissed a white person!
racial problems are all over here, but so far we've been recieved well. to be honest, i'm more afraid of the white people here than the black people. they are so racist and stuck in their ways, it's quite sad. the people at the bash could not believe we were not afraid of them, that we wanted to hang out with them. its a whole other world.
my good friend, gemma leaves in two days, so tomorrow night we are going out for dinner. i have lessons to plan now, so i have to be going.
i miss everyone, and send me stuff!
