I can't believe it - Imogen got voted out last night. How weird. I honestly thought it would be one of the other two, but I was wrong (obviously). Adriana and Kimberley are both up for eviction again, though, along with Gabby Millgate (comedian). I hope Gabby doesn't get voted out! She's cool, she does all these different characters, like Sister Wendy (a nun) and Weavil (an adolescent try-hard homie guy). :)
Meanwhile, guess what? I sent an email to the people at work, and this is what it said:
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone actually reads my washing and wiping up emails, and what you think of them. (I personally find them highly amusing, but hey, different strokes for different folks!) I want to know so I can send the best ones (if any) to the people who like them (if any). Sweet! Don't hold back, people! Tell all!
God bless,
Alyssa
Here are their responses:
Jody -
Didn’t even respond! But you can so tell he doesn’t even take any notice of them. Any email with WWU in the title just goes unnoticed by him, as was proven by the multiple copies of the above email that I sent him (Which were titled ‘wwu???’) without him responding.
Kate -
‘i only read them if if they go for less than two lines. after that i lose interest.’
Melinda -
‘I read the short ones but not always the long ones.. Mel’
Carissa -
‘Hello Alyssa
I think that they are funny as well. You can send them to me anytime. The only thing I don't like is that it means that I have to do the dishes for a week but it is a good way to break the news to people.
Thanks
Carissa’
Thank you Carissa! As for the others... well, I don't know. But how harsh is that??? Very. Very indeed.
Guess what else? The zip on the back of my pants just broke! LOL How funny is that? So now I have to remember to put my long jacket on before I stand up. :)
Anyway, I'll go now. Bye bye!
Oh my goodness, I am so hopeless! When Gilmore Girls started, I vowed “No spoilers!” Then after a while I began to just read the beginning of the transcript of the next week’s episode, and today I have reached a new low! I just wanted to know one little thing, and as I searched for it on the transcript, I found out more and more. I can’t believe it; I even considered reading every episode for a little while there! No! I must abstain from such actions. That’s it; I’m reverting to my old “No Spoilers” persona, starting from... NOW.
Hmmm, what else? Weekend was good. I cleaned out the rat cage, and now I have scratches all over my arm from the wirey bits at the side! Aww, poor 'Lissy. Our rat (Stewart) isn't so evil now. I pat him all the time without him biting me, so that's good. :)
Vanessa and Anthony were voted out on Celebrity Big Brother yesterday. Kimberley is up for eviction again this week, though (along with Adriana Xenides - TV personality, and Imogen Bailey - model), so hopefully she'll go! Man, her hair really annoys me. She makes it puff out at the front, and it looks really weird. Sometimes she can be funny, but the whole hair thing overrides that. :)
"Daddy would you like some sausage?"
My latest work:
How are you this lovely afternoon?
I’m fine, I guess. How’re you going?
I’m feeling just dandy, thank you very much!
Why?
Sorry?
Why are you “dandy”?
I’m sorry, I don’t follow you.
It’s not that hard! Why are you feeling good?
Ah, good question. Well, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining; it’s an overall lovely day! Why are you merely feeling fine?
Because the birds are screeching, the sun is burning... get my drift?
My, my, my, aren’t we pessimistic today?
I’m not pessimistic, I’m realistic. In today’s world, this attitude is normal. You, on the other hand, are weird.
Maybe so; but I’ll tell you one thing. I’d much rather be weird and happy than normal and depressed!
Oh really?
Of course! And I’ll tell you another thing...
What?
‘Always look on the bright side of life! La la laaaa!’
You’re a freak!
Maybe so. But I simply cannot contain myself! I’m so excited!
What’s happened?
Brace yourself, it’s really, really exciting!
OK. Shoot.
I can hardly even believe it! It's so amazingly fantastic!
What is it?
You may want to sit down.
Just tell me already!
Alright, here goes. I’ve been asked to do the washing and wiping up for an entire week, starting Monday!!
That’s it? That’s your ‘exciting’ news?
Yes! Isn’t it wonderful?
No, it’s not! Washing and wiping up? You must be kidding me.
You’re telling me you don’t like washing the dishes?
No, I don’t. No normal person likes it!
Well, I do. I love it.
Which proves my point – you’re not normal.
You’re right. I’m crazy. But that’s OK, right?
No. I’m going to... go over here now.
Um, OK. Bye!
Right...
Celebrity Big Brother:
Anthony Mundine (boxer, ex-footballer), Kimberley Cooper (Home and Away) & Vanessa Wagner (drag queen) are up for evitcion. I don't really mind which one goes, although I would like to see Anthony stay in the house a while longer. The other two annoy me, so vote them out! PLEASE?!?!?
Movies: Tonight's viewing includes 'Serendipity' and 'Bubble Boy'. I've heard both are really good. YAY! Should be fun.
Update: Three of the four valves leading to Pop's heart are clogged, so he might have to have an operation later on to replace the valves with artificial ones. He was supposed to get out of hospital on Wednesday, but they're holding him back for some tests on his liver and kidneys, as they think he has problems with them, too. Keep praying!
On a lighter note, here's some more Dishwashing Roster madness:

An Essay, by Doctor Phil "Mad Scientist" Higgins
There are two certainties in life - death and bubbles. My extensive research shows that the quantity of bubbles in your dishwashing water directly corresponds to the quantity of happiness in your life. Our subconscious forms a bond with the bubbles, and the happiness we feel guides our hands to squeeze the detergent bottle accordingly. As we connect with the bubbles so greatly, we, in effect, become bubbles ourselves. Floating through the air, drifting in the wind, reflecting the environment around us. Then someone comes along and pops us, and we become tiny, insignificant spots of soapy water on the kitchen floor of life. As I was saying, we are bubbles. You are a bubble. I am a bubble. No, I really am a bubble. I may be in your sink right now as you push against me with your plates and cups, trying to use my cleaning power to wash away their stains. Away with you and your ridiculous expectations! I'm only a bubble! A tiny, little bubble, just waiting to be popped by the ferocity of life. But I ask you, aren't we all bubbles in our own, special way? If not in form, then in thought, or imagination. Perhaps I am only a bubble in thought, and not in form. Perhaps I am not sure of what I am. Perhaps I have been jaded by life's subsonic whispers... or maybe, just maybe, you are imagining this whole thing. Are you really reading this, or is it just a figment of your overactive imagination? Go to sleep, little one, and wake up to a brand new day... a day filled with bubbles, rubber gloves, bubbles, plates, bubbles, dishcloths, bubbles, cutlery, bubbles... oh, and bubbles. For bubbles are the whimsical, spherical objects of our dreams. Dream a bubble for me, little one, dream a bubble for me.
My grandad's in intensive care. It's something to do with his heart... a blood clot or some such thing, I think dad said. Anyway, just wanted to post this, and ask anyone who reads this to pray for him. I hope he's okay. :)
My weekend was very good. Dad and I went to the movies and saw 'I Am Sam', which was fantastic! It was really sad, too. I've never cried in a movie, but in this one I came close. Sean Penn did a really wonderful job as Sam.
Meanwhile, I can't believe there's still 7 episodes of Gilmore Girls left in this season! It feels like it's been going forever (in a good way)! I love Gilmore Girls.
The Alias season finale was on last night.
Cliffhanger 1: Did Vaugn drown?
Cliffhanger 2: What was the substance Sloane put in one of the glasses of wine? Was it meant to kill his wife?
Cliffhanger 3: Will Will be recruited into the CIA? (I really hope so, he would be good at it! Like when he stuck the syringe in the mean dude's neck. Classic.)
Cliffhanger 4: What will happen with Sydney's mum?
Guess what music I am listening to at the moment?
Josh Groban! I know, very sad indeed. I'll be listening to it, and all the while thinking how sad it is that I'm listening to it, but I listen to it anyway. Shame on me! lol Nah, he's cool.
Very cool. *ahem*
Well, I've been a good girl lately, doing work at work. :) I'm very proud of myself. Meanwhile, I wish someone would leave a comment for me. *hint hint, nudge nudge!* Even if it's just 'Hello'. It'll make my day. :) PLEASE?!?!?
I'll be off now. :) Bye bye bye! (NSync rocks!)
Mood: 
My ears are fully red! It's uncanny, I look like a flamin' elf! Not that elves have red ears... hmmm... I look like something with red ears then. Hey, don't they say that if your ears are burning someone's talking about you?! Ahhh, now that explains it all! Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Maybe I'm really coming down with a fever or something! Uh-oh... It doesn't seem as glamorous now, does it?
I've been doing renewals all day. It's actually been pretty good! We've started using an Excel spreadsheet to do all of the renewals and new business, and I get to play around with all the formulas and everything, which is fun. :) I can't believe I just said that work is fun, but there you go. Speaking of which, I'd better get back to it. C-ya L8er! (Don't you hate it when people do that??? I do. LOL I'm such a hypocrite, seeing as I just did it myself!)
Bye. :)
Eating: Chocolate/Peppermint Mousse (Yummy!!!)
Drinking: Water
Thinking: My stupid earphones don't work, so I can't listen to John Mayer!!! :(
Wondering: If Jess and Marty will get married...
Listening to: Nothing, because my stupid earphones don't work. :(
Singing: 'City Love' - John Mayer ('and I can't remember life before her name...')
Quote of the Day: 'May you be ever present in the garden of His love.'
Mood:
Well, Peter won Big Brother. I guess that’s good, because his mum and dad both died just recently (within a year of each other), so he has the mortgage to pay off, and his brother and sister to support. I think he played that “feel sorry for me” persona a bit too often, though. Marty’s cool. He’s happy-go-lucky and funny... I’m really glad he made it as far as he did. He wants to marry Jess! And I quote:
(M=Marty, P=Peter, S=Sahra – the three remaining housemates at the time)
M: “Pete, you know what? This week this house has taught me that I want to marry Jess.”
(Pete and Sahra’s face show astonishment)
P: “No!” (Looks at the remote camera)
“Cameras, get back.”
S: “Did you hear that?”
M: “Don’t! I was just saying that to you guys. Don’t make a big thing.”
S: “It is a big thing.”
M: “It’s not.”
P: “I look at you and want to kiss you.” (Pete kisses Marty)
S: “Wow! I’ve never seen Pete kiss before, so that is something big.”
M: “It’s made me realize she’s an awesome girl.”
P: “She’s an awesome girl.”
M: “I didn’t want to say it because I’ve still got something to sort out there. She’s just been sensational to me and I miss her so much already and it’s only been a week.”
(After a brief diversion the conversation continues)
S: “So, are you going to propose on the first night?”
M: “No, I’m not going to propose at all.”
P: “But, you said that you were going to marry her.”
M: “C’mon guys…”
S: “So, does that mean you have never felt this way?”
M: “I keep seeing little things, like I pull open the drawer and see Jess’ bracelet and it made me feel sad because I miss her. But, then she’s probably found someone else right now. So, what will I say?”
S: “Not going to happen.”
But then, at the final eviction, Gretel asked Marty about it, and this is what he said:
M: “Did you notice the glass of wine in front of me?” (laughs)
G: “Does that discount what you said?”
M: “No, it doesn’t...”
I personally think he is serious about it, and was just playing it down because he’s not sure whether Jess will feel the same, and he, of course, has to officially break it off with Jonelle (his girlfriend from before he entered the house) first. I think he’s also (maybe even most of all) worried about what his family and friends will think of him cheating on Jonelle, then wanting to marry ‘the other woman’, who he has only known for 3 months or so.
So, anyway, Big Brother’s over. :( Oooh, Smallville’s on tonight! And Rove Live –
with all of the housemates!!! How exciting. No, my life does
not revolve around TV!!! ;)
