Happenings, Idiots, Knights and beautiful mouths...

Whew.. what a busy few weeks it's been !!

Went along to The Ekka the other week - for those wondering what the bloody hell an "Ekka" is .... no, it's not a recreational drug LOL It's a big, annual show held in Brisbane in August. Basically you go there, pay a ton of money for the privilege of stepping through the gates and pay a ton more money, once inside, to eat, drink, have fun on rides and stuff.... and buy things! I'm a big kid at heart, so I love the fairground area and going on rides :-) I can see myself queueing up to have a go on the rides when I'm 90 yrs old - and I have to tell you, that's a rather sad prospect, don't you think???

Other news is that www.pinkieonline.com has had a few more tweaks (ooh, felt good!) LOL The new PINKIE ONLINE competition is underway, too. The prize is a Limited Edition Rip Curl GBA SP console - and you can find more competition details on the website.

I've been cruising the internet and finding the PinkieOnline name popping up in forums - which is something I'm really chuffed about! The latest finding was in an Australian forum called SKEED. Seems to be a hip n' happenin' place and you can find it here: www.skeed.com They're a really friendly bunch of peeps - so be sure to check out the site and register !!

Well, the Olympics are happening and, as usual, the Aussies are caught up in being proud as punch of their athletes! The highlight of the Olympics, for me, is Roy & HG !! Anyway - go the Aussies - OI OI OI !! (had to say that..... sorry)

I've found myself caught up in some eBay powerseller board shinnanigans this week ! My GOD some people love a good tussle in text, don't they?? Mind you, I'm the idiot for allowing myself to be sucked into the vicious vortex of commenting on board postings. I have this silly penchant for sticking up for the underdog when the 'pack of wolves' descend upon them ... the wolves voraciously pick at the victim's text and change its meaning into something totally bad for their own love of a good argument!

Yep, there are some nutters on eBay - people who have very little else in their lives to occupy their mind and for whom the eBay community boards are their only source of socialisation. Pretty sad.

Anyway - those last two paragraphs probably mean bugger all to the majority of you - but I had to say it (sorry!)

The Newcastle Knights lost to St George on the weekend (grrr). We're out of the comp for another year. Oh well, perhaps next year we'll get through to the finals???? lol We did pretty well this year, considering Joey was out for the season. Bit disappointed that Kennedy is off to Manly next year - but them's the breaks, I guess.

In closing, I wanted to unabashedly link to JOHN MAYER's website http://www.johnmayer.com/launchpad.html - just because I think he's the best singer since sliced bread (and pretty damn hot looking too!! Love his mouth - yep, you heard me... his MOUTH PMSL .. I'm a loony!) Listen to his music whilst you're online and check out a few of his videos too - but try not to focus on his mouth, ok? (I shouldn't have mentioned it, should I? You'll be watching it.... i'll bet!!)

Ok, that's all for today......

Cheers to all !

Pinkie xx
