Where in the world is Ashley Churchill?

You can't be surprised that I would post this. But Hanson't latest album, The Walk came to me Friday. It was released in Japan first. So me and my fellow hard core fansons pre-ordered from Japan so we would get it straight away. It was released on Wednesday (Feb 21), and it came in the mail on Friday. I feel its their strongest album yet. Their previous album, Underneath, while great, didn't quite live up to its predesesor, This Time Around(TTA). The Walk is all the things that are great about TTA but with more soul, passion, and experience behind it. I'm starting to drive Antonia a little crazy with all my Hanson jibber jabber. They'll be in the UK in April. I'm really hoping that they'll come to Australia some time after that. It would be so amazing to see them in such a foreign country.

Here I am with The Walk.

I call Elizabeth "McCrazy" to myself. I really wanted to avoid talking her about her laziness and drama since I knew it would create a huge rift in the house. On saturday, most of my room mates had gone to bed before me. Then Antonia, Thomas and I all went to bed at around the same time. McCrazy and Kate had come home about an hour after we had gone to bed. I get up in the morning and there are crumbs everywhere, garbage is overflowing and plates are scattered. I spoke with Kate and she said that she would talk to Elizabeth. Anyway, so this morning (monday), I go into the kitchen while she is watching TV. Same thing. She was obviously the last one in there. I spoke to her and she immeidately goes on the deffense I didn't even get a chance to talk to her about her attitude, just her sloppiness. She left me this letter:

Not much of it is actually true. We didn't find a single bug on my bed, and I haven't seen her lift a finger.

Oh, the joys of being me. Anyone want to trade lives for the next few days?

Hey everyone again.

My boss hasn't been too generous with hours at the bar that I was previously at. So I got another job at another bar. Its a bit nicer. I have a few new room mates. A couple (guy is British, girl is Belgian) and a British girl. The Irish couple left on a road trip up the coast. Thats it for now. And you thought my life was all excitement and glamour? Ha!

Hey everyone.

Just celebrated the big 2-4 over the weekend. It all started on Saturday when two of my room mates and I went on a boat cruise around Sydney Harbour. Complete with dinner, drinks, and entertainment of the naked sort. Male strippers to be presise. Pretty compelling. This is my Italian room mate, Emanuella, buried in this man's chest>

After we docked, we went to a few bars. The first being 'Loft'. It was packed. It took like 30 minutes to get a Gin and tonic. This is my british room mate, Antonia, and I at Loft.

After Loft, we headed to PJ OBrians to meet up with our Irish room mates. We waited in line for what seemed like forever and only stayed long enough for one drink and a picture.

The girl on my left is Edwina, my Irish room mate. Antonia is next to her. Edwina's boyfriend was there too, he took the picture.

After PJ O'Brians, we headed to Retro. It was pretty nice and not nearly as crouded. I found somebody's lost cocaine. Fortunatly, I don't touch the stuff myself.

On our way to Scruffy's, andother bar, had a little excitement. We were just walking along, minding our own business, and we suddenly witness what looked to be the tail end of a police chase. One car was going really fast, then an undercover police car came right infront of it. Then like 20 cops all seemed to come out of nowhere and pull the people out of the car. I'm not sure what really happened. But it was pretty exciting.

We then went to Scruffy's. A bar that is really popular with travellers. We stayed there for a little while then headed home.

On sunday, Emanuella, Antonia and I went to Tamarama Beach. The weather was really warm, about 34*C, but the water was FREEZING! About 14*C. But it was really nice to have a birthday WITHOUT 30cm of snow on the ground.

Until next time

I got a new tattoo.

Its the Commenwealth Star and Southern Cross. Its the constellation that is on the Australian flag. To commemorate my time down under.

In other news, I'm having communication issues with my boss. I can't seem to get through on his phone. I hate it when someone says that they're going to call you. People always seem to forget and then I have to call them. Then they're number is whack and I can't get through!

Talk to you later.
