One + 1 = Thr3e

Well, songs can be really reflective of who we are... Or they can just be fun to listen to...

At the moment I'm addicted to Wicked. Its basically about the Witches in Wizard of Oz, really awesome!!!

So here are some random lyrics :P

• Good news! She's dead! The Witch of the West is dead! The wickedest witch there ever was The enemy of all of us here in Oz Is Dead! And Goodness knows The Wicked's lives are lonely Goodness knows The Wicked die alone It just shows when you're Wicked You're left only On your own
• When I meet the Wizard Once I prove my worth When I meet the Wizard What I've waited for since...since birth! And with all his Wizard wisdom By my looks, he won't be blinded Do you think the Wizard is... dumb? Or like Munchkins, so small-minded? No! He'll say to me: "I see who you truly are A girl on whom I can rely!" And that's how we'll begin The Wizard and I... And I'll stand there with the Wizard Feeling things I've never felt And though I'd never show it I'll be so happy, I could melt And so it will be For the rest of my life And I'll want nothing else 'til I die Held in such high esteem When people see me, they will scream For half of Oz's fav'rite team: The Wizard and I!
• lets just say I loathe it all. Every little trait however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl, with simple utter loathing theres a strange exilhiration in such total detestation. It's so pure so strong though i do admit it came on fast still i do believe that it can last and i will be loathing, loathing you my whole life long
• WonderfulThey called me "Wonderful"So I said "Wonderful" - if you insistI will be "Wonderful"And they said "Wonderful"Believe me, it's hard to resist'Cause it feels wonderfulThey think I'm wonderfulHey, look who's wonderful -This corn-fed hickWho said: "It might be keenTo build a town of green
• Ev'ry day, more wicked!Ev'ry day, the terror grows!All of Oz is ever on alert!That's the way with Wicked - Spreading fear where e'er she goesSeeking out new victims she can hurt!
• whenever i see someone less fortunate than i, and let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than i? my tender heart tends to start to bleed. and when someone needs a makeover, i simply have to take over! i know i know exactly what they need! and even in your case, though it's the toughest case i've yet to face, don't worry, i'm determined to succeed! follow my lead, and yes indeed, you will be... POPULAR! you're gonna be popular! i'll teach you the propper ploys, when you talk to boys, little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh! i'll show you what shoes to wear! how to fix your hair! everthing that really counts to be... POPULAR! i'll help you be popular! you'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports, know the slang you've got to know. so let's start, 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go! don't be offended by my frank analysis, think of it as personality dialysis, now that i've chosen to become a pal, a sister and advisor, there's nobody wiser! not when it comes to... POPULAR! i know about popular. and with an assist from me, to be who you'll be, instead of dreary who you were...uh, are. there's nothing that can stop you, from becoming popular... lar... la la, la la! we're gonna make you pop-u-lar! when i see depressing creatures, with unprepossessing features, i remind them on their own behalf to - think - of celebrated heads of state, or specially great communicators! did they have brains or knowledge? don't make me laugh! they were POPULAR! please! it's all about popular. it's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed, so it's very shrewd to be, very very popular like ME!
• No good deed goes unpunished no act of charity goes unresented no good deed goes unpunished that's my new creed my road of good intentions lead where such roads always lead no good deed goes unpunished, No good deed goes unpunished all helpful urges should be circumvented no good deed goes unpunished sure I ment well well look at what well ment did all right enough so be it so be it then let all OZ be agreed i'm wicked through and through since i can not succeed Fiyero saving you I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again ever again no good deed will I do again!
• I've heard it saidThat people come into our lives for a reasonBringing something we must learnAnd we are ledTo those who help us most to growIf we let themAnd we help them in returnWell, I don't know if I believe that's trueBut I know I'm who I am todayBecause I knew youLike a comet pulled from orbitAs it passes a sunLike a stream that meets a boulderHalfway through the woodWho can say if I've been changed for the better?But because I knew youI have been changed for good, It well may beThat we will never meet againIn this lifetimeSo let me say before we partSo much of me Is made of what I learned from youYou'll be with meLike a handprint on my heartAnd now whatever way our stories endI know you have re-written mineBy being my friend...
• I'm through accepting limits 'Cuz someone says they're so Some things I cannot change But 'till I try, I'll never know Too long I've been afraid of Losing love - I guess I have lost Well, if that's love It comes at much too high a cost I'd sooner buy Defying gravity Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down... So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately - Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who'd ground me Take a message back from me - Tell them how I Am defying gravity! I'm flying high Defying gravity! And soon I'll match them in renown And nobody in all of Oz No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down!

There you go... Now go buy the album :P

OK, so this post is just lyrics, I can't be bothered doing anything else :P

Thank god this weekend is over!!! It has been full on!! I have been doing some volunteer work in a theatre since last Thursday, with bumping-in, tech rehearsals, performances and bumping-out!! I love doing it, but it is hard work... But it usually leaves me pretty tired by the end of it, and I've discovered a couple of stages that I go through when I get tired... These were the phases that I went through on Sunday...
NB: These aren't the phases that I would usually go through, but this is after having very little sleep for four days straight!!!

Phase 1 - Sleep Living Waking up and still being asleep! Where you are awake, but its like your sleepwalking. You don't usually remember what happens in this time, because you usually get confused as to whether or not its a dream or your really awake.

Phase 2 - Volume Control This is the time when I wake up only by having music turned up full ball with me headphones on. The music usually is something really poppy, or something from a musical, loving Wicked at the moment. I think the Young Diva's song , "This time I know its for real" was the song most played that morning. I love my headphones, because with them I can have the music up really loud and no one else can hear it! So usually after this phase, I'm pretty pumped up and ready to go.

Phase 3 - V-Induced Being in need of some more energy, after just arriving at the theatre, I thought why not get a bottle of V. So, I basically skulled it, thinking YAY more energy to come my way. That did happen, but it came at a cost. Basically, because I wasn't doing anything, we had already pre-set everything, and I was just waiting in the wings, it felt like all the energy was gathering in my legs and staying there, which caused them to go all funny... Weird feeling.

Phase 4 - Stress Attack This one started just before the stage manager signalled to me that the god mic was on, and I had to do the voice over. I was petrified because for some reason I thought I was gonna say "This is Adam, how can I help you today?" This phase was basically when the show started and everything starts to happen. So making sure things are placed on stage at the right time and everything is in the right spot, as well as making sure dancers are there ready to go on. There is also a couple of parts in the performance where I had to catch people who fall and pull people through televisions!!! Basically this ends when the show does.

Phase 5 - Sheer Happiness When the last table and chairs are taken off stage, and I have nothing else to do, I get a whole let better. Basically start dancing around side of stage and am pretty pumped.

Phase 6 - Tiresome Tendancies After all the singing and dancing, being happy, the job of bumping out everything becomes closer and you can just tell that its gonna go forever!!!!! And it did... I was folding up clothes and nearly falling asleep. And the night feels like its never gonna end, but what makes it worse is that all your friends are getting drunk and waiting for you!!!

Phase 7 - Stupid Song Singing By this point of the night I've gone totally crazy and start singing completely random songs, mainly musicals that we had worked on in previous years, with a few random tracks thrown in to help. Some of the songs were; You can't stop the music, Everythings coming up roses, Stop!, Flintstones, Bedrock Twist, Sultana Bran ad, Weet Bix ad, ease on down the road and many, many more!!!!

Phase 8 - Happy Ending... Not Quite Yet! You would think that being told that you were finished and can now go to drink you would be happy, but not quite. It was rooted, I couldn't be bothered to do anything and just wanted to crawl into bed, I was in this phase as I walked into the pool hall, where the after drinks were...

Phase 9 - Pro Pool Player This is basically where the fun starts, get a bit of alcohol in me and a pool table and I'm a barrel of laughs!!! The main reason why people think I'm so funny is that I tend to be a very bad pool player, so I tend to go for the distracting the opposition to win tactics!! Basically, its slut pool, as someone put it, where when your opposition goes to take a shot, you basically try and distract them by being sleazy, blowing in the ear, etc. For some reason, I couldn't beat a team of girls only... I don't know why :P

Thats basically the phases that I can go through in a night!!!

In line with the whole theatre thing, on Saturday morning, the morning before the show, I went to Southland to try and find a toy bat!!! I though it would be easy, but no!! 2 hours later I was no closer to finding a bat, than when I had walked through the door.

I knew my shopping experience would be horrible as soon as I drove into the carpark. Basically, they have how many free car spots are on each level... The sing read :

Level 1- FULL
Level 2- 1 Spot
Level 3- FULL
Level 4- FULL
Level 5- 3 Spots

As you could probably tell, this put me in a fabulous mood!!!! So after driving around for about 25 minutes, I finally found a car spot!!!

I never really knew that people could have such bad customer service, or that they were just plain stupid. For example, I walked into a shop, and asked if they had any toy bats, the response was, "Halloween is in October". He basically said it like I should have know that, I was like thank you, I know that, but I need a bat now, do you have one?!!? He was like no sorry!! How annoying people can be. Then came the person who told me to go to Rebel Sport, I was like an animal bat not a toy bats!!! I even resorted to flapping my arms when I said the word Bat to people!!! But still, there was no bat, so basically, I was tired and exhausted and had just wasted two hours walking around Southland!!! I so could have broken down in the middle of the shopping centre but I didn't!!!

I've been working there since Thursday, so thats why I haven't spoken to a lot of people, mainly because I've been too busy, and yes I know that I owe you a Why Winter Wins! post Jo-Jo, that will come soon...

Till Later...

AdamMac

Well, do you know those times when your on the internet, and got nothing to do... Like nothing!! It happens to me all the time, what with living by myself and DSL!!! But a cure has come at last, a website full of junk!!!

http://www.pointlesssites.com/

The above link is a treasure chest of goodies, and a couple of what-the-fuck-are-they-on things!!! I was shown this about a couple of hours ago, and I'm already addicted!!! The thing that irrates me is that I can't finish them... Hey are my best efforts so far...

A three letter word!!!

Interactive Cursor Their:
I got pretty far like 300 something, but then he pulled out this pole and wiped out the screen...

• Snowman, but he is melting?
• Submarine
• Octopus thing
• Bowling ball
• Bird house... OMG!!! Those birds shit me!!!

IF anyone has any sites like this, can you send them thru please...

No longer Bored!!!

First of all, apologies to mum for not doing this blog sooner... BUT GET OVER IT!! Your getting it now!

Anyway, last night I had a family engagement to attend to! Doesn't that sound fancy?? I was going to write "Aunty Carol's 40th Birthday", but if she reads this, I may get in trouble for calling her Aunty Carol :P Anyway, I was going to drink, but then after Friday night, I think I shall have to be avoiding acholol for some time!!! I would do a post about Friday night, but can't really remember any of it! Well moving right along...

I knew that night was going to fun from the trip there... With new roadworks and turn-offs, not to mention mum driving as well, well lets just say we got lost!!! Instead of taking a turn-off, we ended up going towards Sydney, which I thought, hey I havent been on a holiday for ages, this should be fun, but no, we ended up going to the right place afterwards!!!

The title of this post might seem strange to some, some of you may be pissing yourself with laughter, but I suppose its one of those in things, where if you weren't there, you're not in the loop... Seeing that all those people out there reading this who weren't there are probably now depressed because they aren't in the loop, let me fill them in...

At this formal gathering, they had what looked like an engine that had fallen from an over flying jet, plugged into the wall, and giving out a lot of heat. Seeing that it was quite cold last night, and me being the cold hearted bitch that I am, instead of my blood freezing, AdamMac decieded to sit right next to it, and keep warm. What was to follow was a never ending queue of people, telling me how hot it was in the room we were in.... The first time this happened I was like, okay, maybe they didn't notice the fallen jet engine blowing out HOT air... The second time, well maybe they've had too much to drink and have forgotten how a heater works... But by the third, tenth, and hundreth time, I felt like doing either one of the following...

• Putting up a sign, saying "Yes, I am aware it is hot, that is because theres a heater!"
• Tattooing on my forehead, "Yes, it's called a heater!"
• Placing big arrows toward the heater with signs like, "This is making the room hot!"

I think any of the above would have been sufficient!

Another fun thing that happened last night was the on-going questions about my "girlfriends"... Or one of my favourites, when are the great grandchildren coming... These were coming from people that I hadn't seen in awhile, so they hadn't yet been informed of my tendancy to like boys... Not only this, but things like, "look how big you are?", "your too skinny, are you eating?". I felt like saying, yes I am bigger than you last saw me, but it shouldn't be that much of a surprise, seeing that I'm gonna be 21 next month, and I wasn't always going to be that small all my life!!! Back to my girlfriends, I was speaking to mum about how I should come out to the rest of the family, and we thought why not recreate history, and do it a-la my mum and her brothers scenario. Basically, what happened is my mum annoucned her pregancy with yours truly and at around about the same time, my uncle, mum's twin brother, came out... So now, all I have to do is to wait for Rachael to get pregga's and then I can let them all know... So hurry up Rachael...

Another fun thing that we noticed last night was that I'm the only single grandchild, well out of all the grandkids that can have partners, so that was something nice to have pointed out! Made my night even better :P

On the way home, by the way, we didn't get lost going home, me and mum started talking about serious things, like the future, buying houses and the wiggles... Made me do some thinking, and now starting to plan a 5 year goal thing, which should be fun...

Anyway, I have to run now, got a housewarming to go to...

Cheers,

AdamMac
Helping People Open Their Eyes, since 1997

On the way home from work, having the daily conversation with my mum, we started talking about Big Brother, as we do, and somehow me being a housemate became a topic!!! And it made me think, would I be a good housemate? Would Australians love me??

I was thinking about what type of person I would be in the house. It took me about two seconds to realise that I would be a complete bitch!! But I think that I would be somewhat two faced as well!!! I know thats not a nice thing, but I think thats the type of person I would become! I gossip quite a lot, so I think that woud become a problem in the house, and that it would cause a lot problems within the house!

A lot of people like a bitch, but would Australians love AdamMac?? Would I be the first one evicted?? I think that would be my biggest fear in the house, that I would be the first one to go! Would I be one of those people that the housemates hate, but the public love and get through every eviction being nominated? Or one of those people the housemates love, but as soon as they are nominated they are kicked out because the public hate them?

I then asked mum whether or not she would watch if I was on TV! I thought that she would, but I was mistaken, she actually said that she wouldn't, because she didn't want to hear some of the things that I might say! This surprised me, because I tell my mum a lot of things, well not everything, but I tell her most things... I suppose there are some things that she might not want to hear, but then again, she doesn't need to watch Adult's Only :P

But its all good to talk about going on Big Brother, but I think that getting in would be the hardest thing... Would I be able to get through the audition process... How do I convince judges (are there even judges?!?) that they would want to watch me 24/7?? Be honest, would you wanna watch me 24/7??

SO, if there is a Big Brother next year, should I audition?? Would you watch me in it?? More importantly would you vote to keep me in or out of the house??

ÂdãmMäc
Possible Future Big Brother Housemate!

Well not that busy, but I'm sure you've gotten the idea...

I've been slack, I know, someone shoot me now.... Its been a while since my last post, and to tell you the honest truth, I have no excuse why I haven't posted earlier... Seeing that I'm on the net nearly every night, and have plently of oppurtunities to blog, I just don't know why I haven't. Anyway, I'm doing one now, so lets get on with it, shall we...

Been flat out lately, helping build/paint sets for two productions, one is on Saturdays, and the other is on Sundays, so doing that is a lot of fun. When it comes time to actually do the productions, I know I'm gonna have a ball!!!

Still working full-time, still for Optus, and loving it... Not much more really happening on the workside of things.

Nothing happening in AdamMac's love life, so lets just leave it at that.

Went and saw Da Vinci Code on Saturday, extremely disappointed, just reminds me that some books should never become movies, but watched Narnia afterwards, which goes to show that some books can become movies, was slightly confused that day.

Couple of other things that I wanna talk about, but really should start getting ready for work... Shall type another one tonight... I PROMISE!!!
