Just want to keep it up

I don't have much to post, but seeing as I've been posting every 6 days here I thought I might just keep it up. Although I went to my first decent concert the other day. Out of the two times in my life that I have seen live music (criminal I know, but Australia has a lack of decent bands touring, and I am too poor), this was by far the best. The first concert I went to I saw a bunch of localish bands for free (sneaking in for the win), and while The Amity Affliction and Mourning Tide were alright, I am not much of a hardcore fan. This time I payed $110 big ones for a festival, and saw All That Remains, Lacuna Coil, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, and IN FLAMES!. In Flames is my favourite band of all time, and I could die tomorrow without a care, for I SAW THEM LIVE. WOOO. Although they only had a half hour set, which really sucked. Lacuna Coil were awesome as well (another half hour set though because of goddamned sound issues), and so was Maylene, although I have to say I feel damn scared in the hardcore moshpits. When the damn death pits and walls of death start up I'm out of there. Also saw Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails, although not much of a fan of them, so didn't get into the mosh. And a bunch of other bands too, but they were too forgettable. Except for the Dillinger Escape Plan, whose guitarist pegged his guitar into the crowed, probably nailing some poor sucker. Horrible mix on their music though. That's pretty much it really.

Hoe. Lee. Shit.

Way to go bird kingdom! Not only can you dance, but you are also able to solve my recording problem. Who needs a microphone when you have a lyre bird?

Ok, got a plan

Alright, I now have a plan. Looking at the information I have on the university I am attending earlier, I saw two words that caught my eye. Exchange Program. Looks like I have found my ticket out of here. After further research, I developed a plan. Which I will now explain.

It seems I have to have done a year of university to qualify, and I need time (and also a job) to earn some money for the thing anyway, so I got another year here at least. But after that year, I will be on my way to Lund, Uppsala, or perhaps even Berlin. While the universities of Gothenburg and Stockholm are available (which are the two places in the world I desperately want to go), they have no engineering courses that are suitable, and as an engineering student this is a requisite. So Lund or Uppsala it is, although Berlin is a damn nice place too. The other good thing about this exchange program is that scholarships and the like are available. Which means free money. Not really, it means I'll have to work my ass off, but I'd have to work my ass off for the money anyway.

Anyway, that is my plan so far to get out of Australia and to a nice northern European city. It's times like this I really envy Europeans, they have about a billion specialised programs for moving between universities and most importantly rather affordable too.

Finally, Caravan Palace. Who would have thought that jazzy swing music would work so well with electro beats? The idea seems horrible on paper, like waffle batter on pita bread, but let me assure you it is a lot more enjoyable in reality. Although I have to admit that like waffle batter on pita bread, which seems like such a good idea after the first few bites, it starts getting a bit tiring after a while. But a heap of fun nonetheless.

I think I need this thing

Well I've been back and using the internet for a few weeks. Haven't really felt the need to write here, at least in the same way as I used to. But in the past few weeks, I have done nothing. Sat around. Ate pizza with friends. Saw a movie. That is it. I can't stand how little I have done. It's not like I have a job or education or something to distract me. Hell, I could at least put effort into finding a job. That might help things. At least the debt. So before I get side-tracked, I seem to do more (at least productive things) when I am writing in this. I seem to be a better person too. So I'm getting back into the habit.

It seems I am over that girl. Did nothing, despite promising myself I would. My attitude to this seems to swing so much. One moment I am indifferent, the next I am hit by a urge. These days I am mostly indifferent, I have given up caring. Which irritates me, but maybe I can find something new to care about.

So nothing really new to write here, I might get around to typing up some story I wrote weeks ago, if only for the sake of keeping myself from losing it. I guess I could write about my future, which might help to make me actually make sense of it. Despite me wanting desperately to spend the year working and saving up enough money to travel, my parents seemed to think that finding work is impossible for one such as me (Ironically, if I can use the word, the main reason I want to travel is to get away from them). So this year I will be studying at university for a degree I have no interest in. I really need to get out of here. Studying at a university does not seem to be the way to go (especially seeing as it will only add to my already relatively large debt, which makes traveling even harder). But if I am too pansy to actually walk out my door and do my own thing, I guess this is what I get. Although it does have the benefits of accomodation and food. And free fuel.

Woah. Writing about it has really made me regret agreeing to go to university this year. I swear one of these days I am going to snap, sell my car, fly to some foreign country with $20 in my pocket and stay there until I get kicked out by immigration or earn enough to fly to another random country. Although I really doubt that will happen. Damn my rational thinking mind. It would be so useful sometimes to be even just a little insane.
