Christmas!

Well, Merry Christmas everyone!

What a great Christmas it has been so far aswell.

We had our anual family Christmas dinner last night, where my mum cooks a turkey and my brothers girlfriend Holly comes over and we have a jolly good time.

Like all good Chritmas party's, there was copious amounts of alcohol involved and the night ended with a family dance session (consisting of only my dad and myself) and falling asleep on the bathroom floor. It's a good thing that I live here, otherwise I doubt I would be invited back next year.

All my hopes and dreams came true this year for Christmas, my parents and Ugly (my older brother) who had me for secret santa bought me an amazing Oroton bag.

Today, we will just be hanging around the home and will possibly have a family Seinfeld viewing session before we are off to my extended family's house for dinner.

Extended family time can sometimes be quite intense as there are around 30-40 people in my extended family that live in Brisbane, and on rainy days like today, there is not always enough room.

This event is also much easier to handle after a few glasses of $4 wine.. Christmas really is the time to eat and drink to your hearts content.

All-in-all, a promising day ahead.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Oh Ma Gawd

Okay, I am really serious when I say this.. but if you have a spare half hour or so, I really really really reccomend watching this movie. It is so interesting, I just watched the whole 2 hours and I feel so incredibly inlightened. My friend showed me a bit of it the other day and I have been busting to watch the rest of it.It's called the Zeitgeist movie. It's all about similarities and myths surrounding different religions and the conspirices (that spelling was so off) about 9/11, World War I, II and the Veitnam war.It seriously blew my brain out of my head.
NOTE: You have to fast forward a little bit (13 minutes), when you get to the cartoony bit where 'god' is in the clouds with money, that's when to start watching. Even if you only watch a little tiny bit of it, I still reccomend to watch watch watch!!

P.S the embeded video wasn't working, so I just added the link.. Happy viewing!

Have you ever seen a pair of shoes more perfect than these?.. Yeah, I didn't think so.

I have said this before about shoes, but I'm not kidding this time, I would litterally die for these shoes. I am SO excited for winter this year.. Not only am I already over the heat and not being able to move without dying from de-hydration, but I am so looking forward to all the beautiful winter coats and jackets and stockings and long trousers and scarves and being able to layer without drowing in sweat.

But please Santa.. these shoes for Christmas and I will never j-walk again

9 reasons to floss in '09

Because we are in the last month of the last single didget year - 2009, I thought it would be a good idea to point out 9 reasons why you should floss your teeth regularly.

1. Bad Breath - Food and plaque built up between teeth can contribute to halitosis, which causes bad breath. No matter how much you brush your teeth, only flossing as well can prevent this.

2. Gingivitis Risk - Since the gum disease gingivitis starts in the gums, flossing plays a crucial parting in preventing your chance of getting it. Gingivitis can also lead to the gum retracting disease periodontitis.

3. Stains - Teeth staining substances such as coffee, tea, or smoking not only on get the surface of your teeth, but in between as well. Stains can still occur on your teeth if they are not properly flossed.

4. Cavity Risk - Tooth decay often starts between the teeth, where cleaning is usually neglected. Flossing in addition to brushing regularly will drastically reduce your cavity risk.

5. Dental Work Deterioration - Even if they do floss regularly, some people often neglect flossing areas around crowns and implants. Just as much attention, if not more, should be given to these areas as the rest of the mouth.

6. Gum Disease - Flossing completes the cleaning process of your gums after brushing. Without flossing, you have a much higher risk of bleeding of the gums, and/or gum disease.

7. Heart Disease - New studies have proven gum disease can even lead to heart disease. Removing plaque and tending to you teeth completely could help prevent this.

8. Bacteria - There are over 500 types of bacteria that thrive in your mouth. Many of these bacteria thrive especially well between your teeth, where only flossing can get to them and remove them.

9. A Brighter Smile - Flossing has been proven to reduce staining, and keep your teeth looking bright and clean, especially if you smoke or drink teeth staining beverages. Flossing should be in your daily routine of dental hygiene.

I hope this helps make every day a sparkling teeth day

Here's a picture of my pearly whites for the road -

Monster from the deep - Volume 2

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you may remember that I have a HUGE fear of Mexican Walking Fish (otherwise known as the Axolotl). For those of you who have just started reading my blog it may intrest you to know I have a HUGE fear of Mexical Walking Fish.

Whenever I even think about these I have to lift my feet off the ground incase they somehow are in my room and about to climb up my legs and ATTACK.

Anyway, David Attenborough just had documentory on anphibions (that is deffinatly not correct spelling) on chanel 7.
DEAR GOD I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE
At LEAST 30 minutes of the show was dedicated to all the differant types of Axolotl.

May I remind you of what they look like, just to prove how terrifying they really are.

I feel like I want to die and vomit all at the same time just thinking about them. I just google imaged to get a picture for you all too see, and I clicked on one like and the image was so big and clear and scary that I had to exit straight away. I no longer think this is a normal fear. It's a total paranoia that they are out there to get me.

When I was little, I couldn't go in the water (pool, bath, ocean) above my knees, just incase they were lurking under the surface and I needed a quick escape. You really have no idea what they can be capable of.
Here is something even scarier though.. SOMEONE BAKED AN AXOLOTL CAKE!!

I actually can't think of anything worse. What crazy kind of person would want to have this at a birthday party, hanging out on the table, waiting to be eaten. I think I would rather scratch out my eyes. Okay, I'm feeling really dizzy and nervous, so lets change topics.
How was everyones weekend?
