I have an audition with a rock/jazz (combo of the two) band on Thursday! *yaaaaay* The band is called The Ragoo, they have a facebook group where you can hear two of their songs - which is great, only I have deleted my facebook acc so I can't access them. :( 

Facebook bugs me, and there is way to much allowance for stalking (from both sides) and the bastard fact that when an ex hunts you down and adds you as a friend, you have to accept because if you don't then the mutual friends find out what a bitch you are, even though it took you forever to delete his phone number, msn address and bloody email address - noooooo facebook has to come along and guilt you into accepting this person as a friend - which makes no sense - I mean I'm sorry but friends are people I talk to often, know what’s happening in their lives etc , not when I occasionally bump into you at a friend’s braai and then a pissing contest ensues about who is doing better or has more friends - now considering I don't have a penis, having a pissing competition is not easy seeing as how I can't aim. ~ not that this was me I was talking about *cough*

So - like I was saying, I have an audition! YEAH BABY!!! I have been chatting to one of the guys in the band for the past week and he seems great! Its only blokes in the band - Thank god for that, I will never ever ever be in another all girl band, or hopefully even in another band with more than one other female - ugh, chicks... I just don't get them. (I was hatched remember... me no human!)

The parents are in China at the moment, I managed to see them on the one day they were home between the Kruger National Park (that would be a safari for my wonderful American friends/readers) and before they left for China - bloody jet setters I swear! Not that it's all bad, I'm getting perfume from them on their return! So I can't really see how life could be better ~ Band audition, perfume and just over a month till I go to Mexico! Damn, life is good!

Ya know, sometimes they make me sick. Not enough for me to consider becoming overly fond of girls - but still... enough for me to say *Bah Humbug*

I went to training last night, training being the fitness kick boxing class and then I do the MMA (mixed martial arts class) the fitness was awesome, we had a great session, he worked the crap out of us. That class finished and my next class started, we began with sparring. When we spar, we don't use head gear, it’s full contact beat the crap out of each other etc. I am the only female in this class.

So we start sparring, it was fun - the guys go easier on me than they do each other, until I get a decent shot in and make them look bad (in their eyes) then they go full tilt at me.

The instructor was obviously feeling very sexually frustrated, or wasn't hugged by his mommy when he left the house to train us or something as he decided to NOT train us and instead to get into the ring and spar with us. That’s cool - he hands out pointers, says where you are going wrong and then pummels you to drive his point home. I knew he hit me hard a few times, but managed not to fall over or stop and clutch my face in agony while screaming "aaaaaah did you get the plate of that truck?!?", but managed to carry on sparring. This morning the bruise on the side of my eye pays tribute to the fact that they don't go easy on me. It’s ok - purple brings out the colour of my eyes.

Once the sparring session ended we moved on to grappling - now this is where I got all pissy. There were 8 people in the class less the instructor. Even numbers - this means we all have someone to grapple with and no one gets left out. BUT - like I said, the instructor obviously needed to cuddle so he went to grapple, so did all the other boys and I was left to watch. I figured cool - they will do one round then everyone will change and I can go have a turn... bell rang - instructor/sexually deprived midget yells "everyone change partners" and they all do - I’m still left outside to watch. Now I’m pretty annoyed... another round goes by, the bell rings, he says "change partners... Julz - can you check to make sure the timer is on 3 min and not 4?" That was me pissed off - I changed the timer, put on my shoes and socks and left.

I know no one wants to fight a girl, but TOUGH SHIT! I pay for the classes, and quite frankly they need to get over themselves and rumbling with a chick and just get the hell on with it. (Can you tell I’m just slightly annoyed!?!)

Its finally spring time here, it’s getting beautifully hot and pretty soon I will be cursing the sun and dying for some rain because the beating rays will be turning me a special shade of puce and my lack of an aircon in my car... just thinking about it, I could cry. The wind blowing through my hair will be as hot as an oven, my make up will be running from the dripping sweat that will be emanating from my... - well - everything. Get to the office boiling, cool down with the aircon, leave office to go home... get home boiling. The only advantage being that salads and fruit will be the only food I want (oh shit... forgot about ice cream). I think I should move to Canada.

Lots of love

meeeee
