# About me
Hello and welcome to my front page. I hope you enjoy my work, as I like to dabble in quite a few different arts.A little about me. I live in Missouri, U.S.A. In area is basically smack in the center of the U.S., and the third largest city in MO.
I started getting into art when I was in third grade because I thought my art teacher was attractive. And I was jealous her husband had her. Haha. So I got more and more into art to impress her. Now, I've moved on from her and my love has grown into all art forms.
I really started putting what "talent" I had onto paper around 7th grade of school. I became attracted to the idea of tattoos. So I put my skill into learning proper techniques of lines, distance, and shadows for more of a realistic view. Then I became tired of that and went more for a cartoonish approach. That's when I became interested in graffiti. I wasn't very good with the "can", so I put it down and grabbed the pencil again. And that's basically where I have been the rest of the time. Trying to work on my art skills to become a tattoo artist.
But here lately, my love for photography has really taken a hold of me. Especially macro. I just love the fact of being so close and being able to see the detail of the object or scene that the normal human eye could not see without the help of being "zoomed in". But I am also trying out other things as well. Still trying to find my median with it all.
Anyways. Just a short -but long- bio of me. If you would like to know more, talk to me. I am very friendly and love meeting new people!
But without further ado, please enjoy my gallery! I try to update as often as possible. So go ahead and add me to your +Watch list and hopefully you won't be disappointed by what you see. :-)

Oh NO! I had typed out all this stuff in reply to what you had last written, and then bang, the post was gone. And when I try to go back into the photo, it only allows me to see the first few comments!!
Im going to try and remember what I had started to type, but i forget half the stuff you had written now
Yeah its stupid that no one would give us a go, like i'm not too fussed im not in the graphics industry, but i really wish the fiance was. And yeah with the apprenticeships, people should realise we would have learnt things the way they wanted us to learn them if it meant we were to get a job.
aww how did it get you in trouble with girls lol?
wow I converted 100pounds, thats only roughyl 45 kilo, which is tiny haha! My fiance is really skinny, and when he was skinnier than now, he was about 58Kg. (I know girls are smaller though). When I hadnt put on weight yet, I was about 70 kilo, which sounds massive, but that was the healthy weight for my height, so i was still "skinny" although back then i never thought so lol. Over 3 years i've put on 40 kilo 
I cant remember what else u wrote
π: 0 β©: 2
Haha. That's happened to me! Go to the comments. And at the bottom of the comments on the page, there should be a link that shows (1 reply). Click it. And there's all of our comments.
We have a really good screen printing shop here called Big Fish. They do all the screen printing for the 20+ colleges here in town. They do big businesses. Sports. And personal. I've always wanted to work with them. But they've had so much exposure since the Joplin, MO tornado happened that they've probably got a waiting list miles long for apprenticeships and whatnot.
It would be a really great industry to get into. What's your fiance do?
Haha. It comes me in trouble with them cause I give them so much confidence that in the end, they're just like, "Yeah. I can do so much better than you." And have a new guy within two days... Just like this most recent girl.
I don't know kilos at all! Haha. I looked it up and 1 kilo equals about 2.3 (rounded up) pounds... I should know this. I'm working on my math right now for my GED. lol
So you were 70 kilos, gained 40, so you weigh 110 kilos? That's roughly 242.5 pounds?
No man should be shallow. I mean, given, I am shallow about some things. But it all depends.
Oh. And had a bad night due to the girl. Her and I were supposed to go to Art Walk. She was going to pick me up from work. Take me to cash my check. Go eat. Go to Art Walk. Then she was going to bring me home. But instead, she did everything but have us go to Art Walk, in less than an hour. She blew me off so she could go be with some boy. Then around 1am, she posted how she was so happy. And ignored my texts... :-/
I think I'm just going to move there. I think I remember hearing/reading some where that the boy/girl ratio is like, 1/3 there or something? lol
π: 0 β©: 1
haha I tried that, it came up with an error!
Oh, that would be pretty awesome to get into that industry! Should still give it a go. At least you can say you tried! My Fiance works at Optus, a mobile phone store. I guess I just wish he would find a better job, because I earn a good couple of 100 dollars more a fortnight than he does, and when I fall pregnant, we have to rely on his paycheck to live off till im ready to head back to work, and he doesnt make enough for that.. so I guess Im just worried thats all.
well that totally sucks! girls can be so stupid some times!! I cant believe she moved on so quickly.
Yeah, its kind of embarrassing! I always would see people down the street, in shopping malls and think "i would never let myself get that big" (thats shallow of me)... now I am that big. Ive lost 2 kilos this week though without trying, so if i keep that up with going to the gym every day, it will be gone in no time. what things are you shallow about? I mean, you gotta be attracted to the person at least a bit to want to be with them though.
Wow,i just realized, ive never admitted my current weight to anyone before. Not even my fiance. He's know's im over 100kg though. Because I told him when I was 103kg.
Oh that sucks! Thats so mean of her. She could have at least text u to say she didnt want to hang out. You'll just have to find someone else who wont do that to u, and treat you the way u deserve to be treated!
Haha, that probably is right. When I went clubbing, there was always more guys than girls, some clubs wouldnt let big groups of guys into clubs, because it was already too much of a "sausage fest" in there... so when we were lining up, random guys used to beg us to pretend they were with us girls just so they would be accepted into the clubs haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
I won't get into that. I'd like to. But I want to be able to do my own designs and whatnot. Haha.
I know how that is. That's kind of one of the reasons the girl was like, "Forget you." Even though... Yeah. Haha. It's a super long story.
But I understand where you're coming from. Just don't get too onto him. :-P Let him know it worries you and be there by his side through it all.
Aw. Haha. It's ok. I won't judge you.
I'm shallow by looks. But not too shallow to where the girl has to be super model. I just won't go for someone that's white trash and doesn't keep themselves "up keeped", I guess you could say? But I'll get to know someone before I go straight off looks. Because looks aren't everything.
Yeah. Today, I'm pretty sure we won't even be friends. She said some really messed up stuff to me. And I don't deserve it.
I thought there were more females than males there? I don't know. I could be wrong though. You live there. So I will take your word over something I hear or read from someone that doesn't or hasn't lived there before. Haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thats more than fair enough that you wont go for a girl who's white trash! gotta have standards haha. And they also have to have a personality. otherwise, it would just be... well boring haha.
Oh no. I hope the things she said wasn't too horrible.
Haha, The Hangover is totally on free to air tv right now at work!!! I really do love that movie haha.
how did the rest of your weekend end up?
I ended up going to the footy today, my team lost though. but only by 2 goals
π: 0 β©: 1
They'd better have personality! And a really good one too! Haha. I can't stand being around serious people all the time. It may be a bad quality of mine, but I could be in the middle of a huge argument, and I have to randomly throw in a joke. I mean, I know when it's time to be serious and when it's time to have fun. But I would rather have a serious talk than an argument.
I'll just say that she's said a lot of things I've heard before. Several times before.
I really want to see the second one! I haven't had the chance to yet. I'm hoping it ends up on Netflix soon!
Yesterday I hung out with an ex and her bf all day. May sound awkward, but it's not. Haha. I ran around with them and did errands with them. Then I dyed her hair and my room mate's hair. I got a lot of compliments on the hair cut I did for my ex from a well known salon and from a beauty shop.
Now I'm dealing with the girl that "broke my heart" (haha makes me sound so "emo"). And dealing with my ex and her bf fighting. I'm playing therapist for them... But that's like me; always trying to fix other people's problems instead of my own. Always being able to give advice, but never take it. lol
But I'm supposed to hang out with my friend and her daughter in a couple hours. I told her we have to drive all around town so that I can take photos of places for my friend in Australia. And told her not to get annoyed with me if I randomly stopped. lol But I get tomorrow off too! Yay! It's Labor Day. Haha.
How's your weekend going though?
Aw! I'm sorry your team lost! I bet if I were on that team, I'd totally have made those two extra goals! And then punched the umps in their faces after the game. lol
What's your favorite team? I'd like to try and look them up on YouTube.

Richmond FC is my club, i have a photo on here of them in a huddle before a game a few weeks ago. And trust me, I totally wanted to get out on the field and knock some sense into them, the ironic thing is, the umpires are sponsored by OPSM which is a prescription glasses company, so when they dont see free kicks theyre meant to pay, well i dont need to explain that one
Oh mad! you definitely should make a folio! I'd like to see what you do! Is working in a Salon, good pay? I know here they dont get paid too well, i was always curious as to if it was the same there, especially when so many movies have "salons" in them lol. Oh when I was in LA, on my Contiki tour, one of the nights was a pub crawl... and the second place we went to was a bar/club thats a salon during the day lol.. it was actually oldish looking... but still i thought that was pretty cool, the next place was underground in an old bank volt... that was awesome seeing a big vault in real life lol. and the last place, was the best place... it had heaps of different rooms, but then it also had a massive outdoor section with grass and spa's that we put our legs/feet in!! i thought that was amazing haha. wow i went totally off topic then haha.
Your definately unique! I dont many many guys, if any at all these days who goes out of their way to help out others, especially their ex and their new partner lol.
Naww I feel special now! Did your friend care when u said you'll be taking photos? I'm so keen to see the pics! I tried to google pics, but it came up with not many useful pics to look at lol.
Oh lucky you! I worked our Labour Day. Enjoy the day off!!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol That has to be sad for the umps to be sponsored by an eye glass company and for them to miss calls! Our sports umps and refs should have to pay for their missed calls! Well, they may have to. I don't know if they do or not.
I have a few pics. I can't remember if I've put them on here or not. I shall have to see. And if not, I will be uploading new ones soon! Haha.
But yeah. The pay can be really good if you have an excellent clientele. Also depends on how you go about working for a place. Either you keep 100% profit but pay booth rental and electricity. Or you keep a certain percentage and they take the rest. Usually you wanna base it off how popular you are and how much you can do and make.
Haha. Totally ok that you went off topic. I do that sometimes as well. :-P But that's really awesome! What's a Contiki tour? Is it for photography? If so, I feel really dumb for asking. lol
I really want to get into photography. But don't know much about it. I'm kind of on my own when it comes to stuff like that.
Anyways! lol That does sound really awesome! All three of those places! Did you take pictures while you were there?
I have two exs that I do that for. One is actually engaged and pregnant (my ex fiancee). But they're getting ready to call it off because he's been lying to her about some really bad stuff. She won't tell me everything. But she's about to move back in with her parents because of it. She's just scared about it because she's pregnant. And is unable to work. She was working with her friend killing mold and whatnot in buildings. But she can't do that now because of how hazardous it is.
My other ex... Haha. Well, I help her because I don't want to get back with her. But she tries to get with me. And I'm just like, "Nah. You have you a man. He helps pay for everything. Buys you a lot of stuff. You guys live together. I'll listen to you and talk with you about your problems. But leave me out of your love life."
No. She was very ok with it. Haha. She was just like, "Ok. Well warn me first so I don't walk a mile ahead of you and begin talking to myself." lol We'll be spending a great deal of time at the mall. She's going through a really bad break up. So I told her we'll have a "Girl's Day". lol
Yeah. There's not many good pics of Springfield at all. We're the third largest city in Missouri. But we're not really all that recognized. Or maybe we are. But I've been here all my life. So it seems all the same to me.
Well, I have the option to take off. I'm just not sure if I actually want to or not. I need the money. Or the chance to make the money. Because it's commission only job. And I only work 25 hours a week. Don't get me wrong, I brought home $450 one week. And in that same week, my mom worked 51 hours and only brought home just over $400. The money is there. You just have to be able to work the customers and push the right buttons. Majority of the time with my calls though, it's trying to prove we're not a scam. Haha. Very hard to do over the phone with people living hundreds of miles away.
Yay for a 6 day weekend! lol Any plans for your... shall we call... Vacation? Haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
I had a snoop of all your photos the other day, dont think you have any on here. Hair salons definitely work differently over here. Pretty sure they just get paid a low hourly rate. When I say low, (probably sounds like a lot to u) but between 10-15 an hour.
Haha, I find it weird that American's dont know what Contiki tours are (not bagging u about it though lol)...Its like a top deck tour if u know what they are. Big groups of people have a tour guide and travel around different parts of the world. Mine was called "best of USA".. they do them in Europe, Australia, America and some parts of Asia.. and Canada. Its an american company lol. But mainly Aussies go on them though. Mine went for 13 days, started in LA, then went to San Fran, then Vegas, then NY... and it includes some meals, and other inclusions! But yeah every american, would be like "whats contiki" when we would say we were on tour lol.
I dont know much about photography either lol. I just wing it. I really need to learn the whole settings thing on my SLR, because Ive mainly just been using the auto settings lol. as long as you have the "eye" for it, thats the main thing... at least I hope I have the eye for it haha. I did take photos at those clubs, but they were drunken photos just taken on my digital camera which was a really crappy one lol.
I wish I was friends with one of my ex's. I dont speak to any of them. But one of them, who broke my heart (now im the emo one haha).. he's going to always be that one that got away and always in my heart. that was quite a few years ago now... and recently he spoke to me only to be my personal trainer. but now thats stopped, he doesnt speak to me anymore. I guess he just wanted my money/business for him.
Whats made you not want her anymore? are u still into the other ex, the ex fiance? Thats really nice of u to have a girls day. Im jealous haha! I told one of my friends how I met a guy on deviant art from Springfield, whos really awesome. and she goes "you always said u wanted an american friend". but, if only it was an "in person" friendship. I reckon I could listen to you talk for hours haha, not just because of the accent, but im amazed at how easy we find things to talk about.
Wow, Here, I could not live off 450 a week, thats obviously a good wage over there for u!... I get paid nicely, I make minimum 700 a week. and thats comfortable, without spending money on myself each week.
Hrmm my 6 day weekend, I know thursday Mum needs me to take her to her Oncologist appointment. And possibly doing my first band shoot. im a little nervous haha.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is a lot here. Haha. If you make more than $8.50 an hour, you have a good job. Anything above $10, you've got it made basically. lol I would love to have a job that pays that well!
I want to do that! I'm going to have to look that up, for sure! I don't care for Europe at all (may be a stupid reason to some, but I'm... yeah. Haha). But I would definitely love to do one for there!
Haha. I think I have the "eye" sometimes.
I know a little bit about photography. I really appreciate the macro setting. That's one of my favorites. But my ex fiancee was a model. So I would talk with her photographers about some things. And she would get onto me about doing certain shots. :-P So I know some. Just not as much as I would like.
My only camera is on my phone. It's 5mp. But I use the Camera360 app, the free version. Haha. And I use the "Effect Enhancement" effect. Usually have the settings on "Auto". Then my editing program is GIMP... I would kill for even a decent camera. There's one I spotted the other day at a pawn shop. It was for $119. I want it so bad! lol I know that's a cheap camera. But it looks nice. I think it was either a Fuji or a Nikon. Most like a Fuji. I didn't get to look at it but long enough to check the price tag and then had to go.
Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear that. :-/ We now call "the one that got away", "Great White Buffalo". lol Cause of Hot Tub Time Machine. But I am sorry that he just used you for your money/business. You should go punch him and be like, "Sorry. I just wanted to use your face." Haha. I don't know.
The ex that wants me; well, she kinda f*ed me over really bad. Used me. Cheated on me. All that. She's changed, in a way. But then I'm like... I don't know. Kinda shallow about how she looks now. And her attitude is kind of the same? And I just don't want her. My heart belongs to someone else. Well, did?
As for my ex fiancee. She cheated on me as well. Used me. Has spread a lot of crap about me... I still love her. I was with her for nearly two years. We were two weeks away from our two year anniversary, actually. So I'll always have feelings for her. But even if her and her new fiancee don't make it, I wouldn't take her back. Not because she's pregnant with his kid. But because of our bad past.
We had a good Girls Day. lol Spent about 2 hours at the mall just to buy nothing. Haha. Went and ate. Then went to a couple other stores around town and bought her daughter a few winter outfits. Then went to the park. And we're gonna have Part Two tomorrow. lol But I did take a few pictures of Springfield today. And I have put them up. Tomorrow, I hope to take some more.
Aw.
I have to thank my job for making me a talker. Haha. Most definitely. Really, before my job, I was just very to myself. But you have to open up to the customers. Let them into your life to know they can trust you enough to give their credit card number over the phone to basically a complete stranger. But! Now-a-days, here at least, it's a lot safer to give out your credit card information than it is to buy something with cash.
Oops. Got off subject. lol But yeah! I totally love talking with you! The accent would make things more awesome. lol Not gonna lie. But I always get excited to check dA now. Haha.
If I made $700 a week... Omg! I would like... I don't even know! lol I would have like a 2-3 bedroom house in the nice part of town. A super nice car (like a Skyline lol). I don't even know what I would actually do with myself if I made that much in a week! I am lucky to make just over $100 lately. Stupid economy!
Band shoot?! That's awesome! I hope you do get to do it! Is it going to be for a local band?
π: 0 β©: 1
Its amazing how different the wages are here, I get 20 an hour when I do day shift, then an extra 3.75 an hour on top of that when I do afternoon shift and night shift. If i work saturday, thats time and a half, so i get about 30 an hour... and Sunday is double time, so 40 an hour. So as much as you dont want to work weekends, thats where the money is. So I do get paid quite well, but still not enough to afford our own house. Well we would be able to afford it, if/when David gets another job hopefully. Its hard to motivate him though because he loves his job. But he knows he needs to get another job.
Oh yay! someone else who doesnt care much for Europe!! 
I'm guessing its an Iphone that u have? the Iphone 4's even though the camera is only 5mp... it takes better photos than my old phone that had an 8mp camera lol. Oh cool, what type of modelling did she do? for magazines or? I have GIMP on my computer because someone told me about it, but ive never actually used it before lol. I just use photoshop.
Haha great white buffalo!? I havent seen that movie.. I tried to watch it on the plane to LA, but i was too tired to pay attention, because I couldnt sleep.. I was to excited about getting there haha. Lol funny u should mention punching the ex lol. The night we met, we got into a silly playful argument about Sonic or something... and he goes "want to take this outside" and I drunkenly said "oh its on like donkey kong when we go outside" haha. But he was a black belt in karate.. and when we went outside, we started to play fight, and he would dodge everything i threw at him, but he would lightly connect with my body every time he threw a punch lol. Then one time... i swung a little hard and fast, and clipped him in the mouth with my fist... he had braces then, and they cut all the inside of his mouth open, and started to bleed lol. I couldnt stop laughing (drunkeness).. but i also couldnt stop saying sorry at the same time lol. He goes "well this is a first impression im never going to forget". Still to this day i dont know why he broke up with me... he claims it was because one day he just woke up and didnt love me anymore. I dont know how that happens.
Sucks that they both cheated on you. You deserve to be treated so much better than that. So glad u had fun with your friend! I just realized, you probably dont even know my name, I dont even know if its on my profile. Oh wait, just checked, it is lol. But if you didnt know, its Rachael
You should totally move here one day! It is expensive, but, you would get paid more here, so that evens it out, so that you would be able to afford to. We do have a lot of tattoo shops.
I agree, I also have to thank my first job for making me confident enough to talk to people. I used to be that shy that I would never want to even go into a store or doctors or something to ask the people at the desk a question lol.
Gee that would be hard trying to get your customers to trust you over the phone! Haha, I also get very excited to check DA now too! I check it a lot more regularly now too! *goes red*
Im still amazed with the money situation. Mind u, I do rent a 3 bedroom house, and have a decent car, but I have a bank loan that is huge that im paying off though! The loan was for the trip to america, and my car. But what I have is decent, compared to some friends who own their own house and what not. lol but im not complaining, because id be happy with less!! Thats another thing, you'll have to take pics of the house/appartment u live in! you dont have to though if you dont want.
You will have to tell me how Day 2 of girls day goes!
Yeah just a local band. I have never heard their stuff though. I only know one of the members, and I used to love his old band. So tonight before work im going to their band prac to just take some shots there, and get to know them a bit better before the propper shoot.
π: 0 β©: 1
Holy bajeezus!!!!!!!!!!! Our police don't even make that much! I think their starting pay is like $13hr. Maybe? Woooow. I don't even like... Damn! lol There's no way you would be able to make that much doing what you do here. Too bad we can't mix what you get paid there with how "cheap" in comparison it is to live here.
I just told my best friend/room mate how much you make. And his jaw dropped and said we need to move there. lol
I really don't know how to react to that much money! Hahaha.
I can understand that. I love my job as well. It's fun. Money is there if you know what you're doing. But you can't rely on what's always fun and love doing. Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to. Just be by his side. But at the same time, let him know there will be consequences. Not by leaving him or anything. Just not being able to do what you guys want to do.
It's mainly Germany. Most of my heritage is German, from both sides of my family. But still. I hate it so much.
I used to have an iPhone 3. But my ex fiancee took it.
You should try out GIMP. It's really easy to use. Free. And has just about the exact same effects as Photo Shop does.
Karate? Psh. I know karate. My uncle is a Master Triple Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I know some of that. And I did Shaolin Kung Fu for a few months as well. Was almost finished with my Tiger training before I had to quit due to funding issues.
But that's a really cute story. Haha. I've never heard of one like that. :-P
Honestly though, if he says that, then... I don't know. One of my friends told me this and I never thought of it until he said something. But he said to me after me and my ex broke up, "If you're in love with someone, you can't fall out of love. If so, then you never actually loved the person in the first place." Or something like that. So he had been lying about being in love with you or lying about saying he didn't love you anymore. Something must've happened for him to do that (not blaming you at all, I blame him, I automatically take the girl's side in situations like this cause I know how guys can be).
I've been cheated on in every relationship I've been with. Ha. And even if it wasn't an actual "relationship", but they still told me they loved me and whatnot but still went out to "be with" other guys, I still consider that cheating as well.
lol Omg. I seriously just busted up laughing over that. Hahaha. So amazing. But yeah. My name is Josh. Obviously. But my last name is not "savage". Although I do know an Asian from Nebraska who's name actually is Josh Savage. Haha. I didn't take his name though. I met him last year. I've had this profile for nearly 5 years now. But yeah. I wish there was a way to change the sn on here. I refuse to make a new profile though.
I really want to visit. I've always been fascinated with Australia. I really don't know why. But that's been my main country of interest. Maybe because my mom always watched Crocodile Dundee. And I've seen a lot of movies that have to do with Australia. And it's just really gorgeous there. Especially the cities. They're so big and full of life! Always on the go! Plus the wildlife there? Come on! It's amazing!
lol I do too! I used to check it only when I'd go to upload new photos. And maybe the day after to see if I got any responses. But now, I check it at least every other hour or so. Or at least when I have the chance to! :-P
I was going to ask how the housing situation like is there. Like if you HAVE to buy land and then have your own house built or if you can rent houses/apartments. Is it just you and David that live in the house?
What kind of car do you have? :-D
lol That doesn't sound creepy at all! Hahaha. Nah. I'm just playing. I actually have some pics of the inside of the apartment. I'm not sure how I'd feel about uploading them to here though. Maybe we could start emailing each other?
Oh I totally will! Plans actually got exciting! We are going to go shopping for shoes. Then I'm going to buy some new body jewelry at this place called Kaleidoscope. I'll take some pics of the place from the outside. It's actually a decent looking building. But then we're also going to go have a picnic and go to the park again. We went to the park earlier. But it was dark. So I couldn't take pictures like I was hoping to for you... Also going to have that girl, Dakota? Her, her sister and brother, and her mom join my friend and her daughter and I for the picnic and park. So you can definitely expect pictures!
You will have to tell me how that goes! What kind of music they are. What they're like. Etc. And, if possible, photos of their equipment? Haha. I used to play in bands. I miss it terribly. So I like to see other people play. Especially not well-known bands.
P.s.
Such long responses! I love it! :-D
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow that was a huge response!
Lol, it seems so weird to me that you and your best mate think thats a huge pay lol. But i guess we're used to it! i would LOVE it if it was as cheap as over there and still got paid what I do lol. Especially because our dollars equal to yours now. Which im spewing about. Because when I went, our 1 dollar was only 70 cents to yours... when I had 7 grand spending money converted to american dollars, it only got me just under 5 grand. Thats a BIG difference.
I agree about the whole he either never loved me or lying about not loving me anymore. I also think something must of happened on his behalf to do that. I have no doubt in my mind that he did actually love me.. and still to this day, when he see's me (which isnt very often, we live about 45 mins away from each other) I can tell by the look in his eyes that he still really cares. And well his next gf after me, her name was Rach also, and theyre still friends, yet he refuses to be my friend. which makes me feel/think hes still got feelings, or he's done something bad hence breaking up with me. That probably sounds really stupid!
As I said before, that really sucks you have been cheated on! But yeah I would also call that cheating on even if you weren't in a real relationship! Because if they felt that way about u, they wouldnt cheat. simple!.
Haha, what made you have "savage" in your name? do u just like the word or meaning?
Yeah the cities here are really nice! I havent been to all of them. Even though all non Aussies are facinated with Sydney.. I still think Melbourne is so much nicer! So if you ever come, make sure u get to melbourne at some point!
Yeah if you want a brand new house to own, buy the land and then house...but as normal u can buy already established houses, but they cost the same, if not more than building, so why not just build lol. Im really anal when it comes to houses, I'd want it to be the way i want it, choosing colours and such that i want and everything. Like so many things with the house we rent, that I hate. Even though this house is only about 8 years old. I probably sound real stuck up from saying that lol. but just little things get on your nerves you know? But anyway, as I was saying... I cant wait to build a house so I can decorate it lol.
Yeah its just david and I that live there. We originally moved in with a male friend of mine... but he was an absolute pig. would leave rubbish everywhere... every day there would be 20 empty cans of soft drink laying around... food scraps everywhere.. and just lived in filth. so it didnt work out and he moved out 2-3 months later. We've lived there over 2 years now!
Yes, emailing would be good. my email is rach_davis7@hotmail.com lol. Because thats fair enough that u dont want to load them on here!
Oh wow, that will be fun going on a picnic! the kids will enjoy it also!
The band practice went well!! got a few good shots. They are, well i dont really know what genre.. lol, bit of singing bit of screaming lol.. i will be posting some pics now.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow! That is a huge difference! I guess if you went from here to there, I'd have a little more money. But it'd still be so expensive there. lol
He probably got another girl with the same name so he wouldn't get into trouble when he called the new girl by your name. :-P
I'm sorry he did that to you though. You definitely don't deserve something like that. I mean, I know I don't really know you that well. But from what I do know, you don't deserve to be treated like that by any means.
Nah. I don't remember why I picked it, actually. My new sn that I prefer using is "ItsJoshWho". Haha. Because so many people know so many Joshes. So when they're like, "Yeah, I was with Josh..." they get cut off and ask, "Josh who?" lol
Of course! I have to visit you and David! lol I'd only go to Sydney because of Finding Nemo. And see if 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney exists and if it actually is a dentist office. I know I could probably Google it or whatever. But I'd rather have an adventure to find out. lol
But I would most definitely love to visit Melbourne!
That doesn't make you sound stuck up at all! I would totally be the exact same way! I wish I could decorate this apartment the way I want. But alas, I can't. I've got a few of my posters up. I'm very proud that my MONSTER poster is above the tv in the living room.
Haha! I love the way you talk! I haven't even heard you. But the words you use, "rubbish", "soft drink". It's awesome!
π: 0 β©: 1
I was actually so hurt and weirded out by him having a new gf with the same name (that probably sounds stupid). She looked like ron Weasleys sister on harry potter, but not as pretty. wow that sounds harsh lol. She added me on facebook after they broke up too even though i never actually met her lol. she's one of the ones who literally just moved to London. which is also weird lol. probably just wanted to "snoop".
I like that. ItsJoshWho! haha, very catchy. Im not very good at coming up with user names and such. the one on here, is because thats what ive named my actual business. not that its a real business yet. technically it is as its registered and I have an ABN (australian business number) and such. but im still just learning. It was more to cover my ass when I do weddings. Ive done 6 so far.
Yes, definitely have to meet us! haha, not even im sure if that place exists haha.
MONSTER? is that something you've made or is it a band or something lol. i feel stupid asking that haha.
Oh yes, u call soft drink "soda" lol. and rubbish is "trash"... some other ones like thongs here are what u call flip flops lol.... but we still call gstrings, thongs sometimes too. Oh and shrimp for us is Prawns... coz shrimp here is tiny versions of prawns and they white/see through... and used to bait when fishing lol.
Some of the words you have used as well it makes me smile/laugh, but in a good cute way lol
π: 0 β©: 1
That doesn't sound stupid at all. Or harsh. lol
She probably did just want to go snooping. See what the "competition" was like... I don't like people like that.
I fail at user names. First, it was the one on here. Then I used "Josh Angel" when I really started in taking pictures. And "ItsJoshWho" has been my best one yet.
That's really awesome though you actually have the name registered! I don't know if you have them there. But you should get like a loft/studio apartment. That way you can have your photography studio downstairs and then your home upstairs. That way you don't have to go too far when you have to go to work. :-P
I think that's how we started talking? I favourited one of the weddings bands inside a flower.
I would love to meet you guys, definitely! I always wanted to go there. But now that I know someone there, that gives me even more of a reason to try it out. I looked up Contiki Tours. And I really want to try the Waikiki one. Only $336!!!! What all exactly does the price cover? Does that include airfare, hotel, activities, etc?
Hm. I thought I had my MONSTER poster up. Haha. I'll post it here in a minute. Along with a lot of other pictures I took today. :-D
I knew rubbish and soft drink. Haha. Your language is kinda similar to the British?
lmao Thongs here are underwear! Flip flops/sandals used to be called thongs. But that was many years ago.
Oops. Just read that you call g-strings thongs as well. Oh well. I'm too lazy to remove that comment. Makes it funnier anyways. :-P But thongs are thongs. And g-strings are g-strings. But, then you could also be referring to the "G string" on a guitar as well. lol
I know prawns! Haha. But there's no way I'd eat them. I'm too used to them being used as bait. So that'd just be weird for me.
What kind of food do you guys like to eat?
Haha. What kind of words? I like this word matching game. lol Like friend = mate. Mom = mum. Haha. What else?
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, yeah i thought it was really strange she added me. I accepted. and she's nice to me, most of the time lol. but the ex is now with this bimbo, well she looks like a bimbo, shes about 5 years younger than him. but meh whatever floats his boat.
lol well Josh angel is better than what i use for a lot of things which is "rach2718" haha. not inventive at all... the 2718 was because my two favourite footy players wore the numbers 27 & 18... back when i was like 15-16 haha and ive just stuck with it even though its crap! I might have to steal your "itsjoshwho" and make it "ItsRachWho" lol. but i wont steal it from u if u dont want
Oh i would LOVE a loft/studio appartment. but theyre mainly more closer to the city and would probably cost like a million dollars to buy lol.
Yeah U favourited my engagement ring!!
Um with contiki, it doesnt include costs of getting there, so whether it was flights or whatever, u would need to pay for that. it includes accomodation and some meals, and some activities. I'll have to look up the waikiki one!!
Your monster poster is amazing! love it!!
the typical things we would eat at home would be spaghetti, chicken and rice with something like a chicken and mushroom sauce on it. we love chicken parma's/parmi's lol.. theres a debate on which way is the right way to call the chicken parmijiarna's lol. and when we can be bothered, steak or other bbq things. But take out, i love chinese, Nando's (which apparently u guys dont have), and pizza and such. you?
hrmm i cant think of any other matching words atm... but thats because i have worked 15 hours in total today. 11pm-7am... then back at 3pm to work till 11pm. almost home time, yayyyy. then 6 days off
π: 0 β©: 1
At least she is nice, sometimes. Haha. Is he still with her or a different one now?
I think you're much better off without him. You've got yourself a fiance and are in love and seem pretty happy with him.
lol By all means, go ahead. I've already had other people go off of it. I know a few Rachaels already. Haha. It's not a super common name here. But it's common enough.
lol A million dollars? Actually, with how you describe the cost of living there, it wouldn't surprise me. A million dollars would get you a super nice mansion style home here. With a ton of land! And probably still have a lot of money left over! You should look into them though? So what there is to offer.
Aw! Well then me favouriting that photo makes it all the more better! You do have a few. And I like the concept of them a lot!
Oh. Lame! I thought it did. I got all excited because of how cheap it was. I couldn't find what all it included. Not even in the FAQs section.
I like spaghetti. But I prefer more fettuccine dishes. I love sushi! Which, I used to not to. But just like everyone had told me, it's an acquired taste. And now that I've acquired it, I want it all the time. lol But it's too expensive. I usually spend about $50 on 3 different types of rolls. Umm... I had Mexican food yesterday. Haha. I like just about anything and everything. But even for as "American" as I am, I don't like steak or bbq that much.
Nando's? What's that?
Hm. Not sure what time it is there. But I'm hoping that your 6 day weekend has started for you and you can get home and get plenty of rest! And then have a lot of fun with you small vacation!
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah he's with a new girl now, who's 5 years younger than him. and from what ive seen/read on fb, he doesnt seem too interested in her. but yeah im better off without him!!
Haha yeah its like the saying "you lost the best thing to ever happen to you".. i think i may have actually said that to him when he broke up with me lol.
Yep, a million dollars is ridiculous! but oh well...
Haha it sure does make it better. Yeah i really like doing the macro ring shots on flowers, i just need to get better at it though.
hrmm i thought the website included what it includes haha. they might have changed the set up of the site. Maybe they only put it in the travel books and such now in travel agents.
Fettuccine is nice
Its actually just after 4am here, i really need to get to bed but im not tired, i found a new show i like and im hooked on it and stuck watching it with my puppy on my lap lol
You never mentioned how the picnic went
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I have had that told to me! And I wasn't the one doing the breaking up either! Hahaha. That's great though! If he was dumb enough to do what he did for "no reason", then he has lost the best thing. And now you're onto bigger and better things.
I had originally faved it because I was going to try it out. Haha. Not gonna lie! But now I am glad that I did because it made a friendship! lol I check here more often than I do FB. And I have a FB app on my phone. I'm pretty sure if I told someone that I check here more often than the other, they would think I was lying. lol
But yeah. I really would like to try out some shots like that. It intrigued me highly!
Hm. I have no clue. I probably could have found it if I looked hard enough. But I was more into seeing what kind of tours they had.
Mmm. Sushi! Haha. The three that I always get is the California roll (which is typical for anyone to get). The Oh My God roll (which comes in an aluminum boat that's on fire). And the Ichiban roll. Those three alone usually round up to about $30. Haha. Then we always try at least one or two other rolls. And that's just when it's me and one other person.
That sounds really good! Haha.
Ok. Your "chips", are you talking about fries or chips as in nachos? O.o
Hm. Determining the time you said when this was posted, I'm guessing you guys are 14 hours ahead? I know, I know, I'm really lazy. lol I could just Google it. But it gives us more to talk about. Hahaha.
Aw! What kind of puppy?!
Oh. Haha. Sorry! So much other stuff has been going on I completely forgot. If you ever ask me something or I say I'm going to say something, remind me and I will answer. lol
But we didn't get to do an actual picnic. We went to the park. I wasn't with them long. Cause Kayla (the girl from all the pics) ended up showing up to the park. Well I decided to go meet up with her. Cause it's one of the parks that her and I used to always go to together. Like, that park was "our park".
And then we ended up getting in a fight, of course. So it kinda ruined my day being there. :-/ Then we kinda got back being "ok". I took her out to eat at Mexican Villa. The one I took her to when she got back from Germany (ugh). It was weird...
But anyways! Sorry to be depressive. Haha. Happier note! Before then, it was a really good day. I wish I would've been able to take more photos. But the park was packed. And it's hard to be able to keep an eye on four kids when there's about 100 people on the playground. lol
π: 0 β©: 1
I dont mind that you try that concept!! I didnt come up with the idea either lol, i got to spend a day with a professional wedding photographer at a wedding, and he did it, but i didnt have a macro at the time. As soon as I bought a macro in America, i decided to try it out
is this the contiki site you were on? [link] i couldnt find the tour you were talking about lol. I could be blind though
I should really try sushi again one day! even if i have to take the seaweed off it haha.
Oh chips for us, is fries... I found it so strange that some places in the US served chips or as u say crisps, with some meals. But theyre fatter than mc donalds fries though.
Lol I actually tried to google the time difference but I couldnt find it! So when you get this, and reply, tell me the time it is for u. I even tried to find it on my "world" clock on my iphone...but it doesnt have it. I actually still have LA and NY's clocks on my world clock lol.
Oh and I check DA just as much as FB now lol. And I used to be glued to facebook, sad i know! I told a friend at work last night how I have a friend from america on a site (she doesnt know what DA is lol) and she looked at me so weird. And she said how its not really a friendship.
Oh did Kayla know you were going to be at the park? Or did she randomly show up there? Sucks that you guys fought, but as long as that was resolved 
And you can be depressive all you like haha, i'll listen
I cant believe I slept for so long. Like I went to bed just after 4am, woke up at 3pm... thats 11 hours sleep lol. I never sleep that long. Im lucky to get 7 hours sleep usually. But now I think I over slept. So the day is half over already so I dont think im going to go anywhere today, plus I dont get paid for another hour or so, and I have like 20 cents in my bank account haha. I usually dont get that broke in a fornight (i get paid fortnightly) but because it was my birthday, and we went out to dinner and drinks and bowling and such.. and had a few others birthdays and fathers day presents to buy, left myself struggling for cash
I have a Border Collie! She's the cutest thing, but shes not all that smart, which theyre meant to be smart dogs lol... hopefully she'll grow out of that! Very affectionate, always wants to lick your face and stuff.. but its better than most puppies biting stage lol
π: 0 β©: 1
lol Ok. Now all I have to do is find some rings and try it out for myself. Haha.
[link] Yep. Same site. And here's the link for the Waikiki tour. :-P
Come here and me and my friends will take you for sushi at Hinode. It's freaking fantastic!
Crisps? Is that what you guys call fries? Haha. Chips here are like chips for nachos or Lays or Doritos, etc. Fries are fries or French fries. No idea why they're called "French". They didn't invent them. lol I don't know why we call them fries though. Every where else in the world calls them chips... America. Just has to be different. lol
Right at this exact moment, it is 1:52am. But by the time I finish this reply, it'll probably be 2-ish. And it is Sept. 7th. Haha. Just in case. :-P
I used to be pretty glued to FB as well. Used to post statuses every 5 minutes or so. Now it's about once or twice a day. Just because they got very depressing due to certain circumstances. So I just keep it to myself unless it's random, funny, or lyrics.
Psh. I think it's a friendship. And so do you. Therefore, it is a friendship. A very long distance one, but still one. Haha.
She originally had planned on going there by herself just to get away. Then she had tried getting a hold of me to go with her and play guitar. Cause she's been learning in school (she's going to college for music therapy). And I had always told her I'd teach her so we could play together. Well now she knows about 5-7 basic chords that you can basically construct any acoustic song around. So she wanted to get me.
Then she found out my room mate, Kyle, deleted her off FB. And said some "mean" things to her. Which he warned her would happen if she were to "f" me over. And he kept to her word. So she got upset with me. I was already there... Long story cut, she was there, I was there, I met up, and we fought. Haha.
It was weird because we were talking and laughing. She was calling me Chico because I ordered the Chico Enchilada. And I'm kind of dark complected compared to others. No idea why. My skin just tans really easily. And everyone likes to say I'm a dirty Mexican. lol Just a joke, I'm not Mexican at all. But anyways. She always calls me random Mexican names. Then Chico came into play. And we laughed. She sat next to me in the booth like we always did when we'd go out to eat. And she leaned in like she was going to kiss me, realized what she was doing, and quickly turned her head down and kissed my shoulder instead. :-/ I was kinda crushed...
It was Labor Day. And people were getting back from the lake. And wanted to make their kids get super tired cause they had school the next day, is my guess. lol It's actually been kinda cold. Upper 60's. When just last week, it was in the 90's and 100's. Haha. And it happened over night!
Fort night? Isn't that... I think... Two weeks, right? lol I have a really bad feeling I am going to be completely wrong. Is it a month? O.o Ok. I give up in trying to remember how long a fortnight is. lol
BOWLING!!!!! I love bowling! Went Saturday night. Tried a different alley this time. Lanes sucked, weren't balanced at all. The balls were way too heavy. And if they were the light ones, I couldn't even get my pinky into the whole... Wow... Could totally say "That's what she said" to the end of those last two sentences. lmao
But yeah. My arm still hurts. I won both games. And have pictures to prove it! lol
I get off subject too easily. Haha. Sorry.
But at least you had a good birthday, right? That's what counts!
AWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
How old is she? Hopefully she never goes through the biting stage. Especially with puppy teeth. But puppy breath? I wish dogs never lost that. It smells good. Weird and random, I know. But that's my shinfo for the day. At least for now. Haha.
Oh. And it is now 2:11am.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, firstly before I forget, I think we're 15 hours behind. if i counted correctly haha.
OH yeah, that came as just a "stop over" trip when i looked..but looks as though u can go on it without it being a stop over. it seems as though it includes the hotel, and breakfast every day... but doesnt say what activities are included though.
I would love to take up the sushi offer haha, if it were possible
OH, when i was on contiki, our american tour guide told us that u guys call chips (lays & dorritos), crisps. weird. But nah chips are cooked potato like fries, just fatter lol. and yeah i have no idea why they call them french fries either haha. Ohh i thought of another difference... we call Ketchup, tomato sauce. lol.
Oh i wish i could play guitar, I wouldnt be very good at it though. I owned an old accoustic, well mum passed it down to me, but i didnt learn it, i could play a very very basic smoke on the water and not even the whole song lol. so I then passed it down to my little sister.
Good on him for sticking to his word though! Show's he's a good friend. Oh did u want her to kiss you? It seems as though u still really like her
Im waiting for the weather to warm up here, winter was sooo cold. we had a week of nice weather, wasnt hot but nice enough to have just a tshirt on.
Hahah yeah fortnight is 2 weeks
I love bowling also!! I won 1 of the games, but lost the first one, to davids brothers gf, she isnt co-ordinated at all (same as david haha) she was swinging the ball a couple of times before letting it go and when she did, it was like back hand... but she got a heap of strikes in a row, and bet me by 40 points or so, then david and his bro were about 20-30 points below me. But then the second game that I won... she was still bowling the same way, but only managed to get like 40 points in total lol, 100 less than the first game!!
Oh i hate when you cant get your fingers into the holes haha.. (aand yes definitely a thats what she said moment lol) david gets me on that all the time. I just laugh because i have nothing to say back haha. But yeah I had a good birthday, just wished everyone who came out for dinner, came bowling. most went home.
Nawww what happened to your collie? did he pass away or is he at your mums. My last dog, I had to keep at mums, and she got sick, and had to be put down while i was in america. Mum didnt tell me till i got back because she didnt want to ruin my holiday for me. It was so sad, i still miss her, and often find myself calling my new dog by her name. I never got to say goodbye (now im being emo lol)
π: 0 β©: 1
You guys are 15 hours behind? I figured you guys would be ahead... This is tempting me to Google...
Nope. You guys are 15 hours ahead of us. [link]
I wish it would mention what activities they offered. And I wish it offered flights as well with the price. Haha.
Well, it could happen one day! :-P
Our "fatter fries" are known as steak fries. Haha.
Tomato sauce? lol Does it taste the same?
It's really easy once you put your mind to it and have nimble fingers and are coordinated. But that was nice of you to hand it down to your little sister!
Yeah, I wanted to. I'm still very much in love with her.
Winter?! Haha. I forgot that your guys' season is the complete opposite of ours. I used to talk to a girl a looooooong time ago on Yahoo! messenger. She lived in Australia. I can't remember which part. But I remember us talking about the weather difference. And how I was jealous of her having summer while we were going through a record breaking ice storm.
Yay! I win! lol And "a blue moon" is once a month.
I used to know someone that played like that. I have a very "professional" approach to it. Cause my dad was a bowling champion. Along with pool. But yeah. I kind of took over his stance. Didn't know I had until my mom pointed it out to me one time.
But yay for you winning! Haha. I would have totally stayed the whole time! Who would want to miss out on a chance to go bowling?!
lol I have switched from saying "That's what she said" to "Giggity", like Quagmire from Family Guy (watching it now on Netflix, seen all the episodes several times but I can't get enough).
He's still alive. But he's with my ex fiancee. Never get to see him though. Almost feel like I had a kid and don't have any kind of custody. Haha.
Aww.
π: 0 β©: 1
ohhhh crap. did i say behind lol. I meant we're ahead. For some reason that link didnt work though. oh now it did lol.
Oh yeah i remember reading steak fries on menues over there actually!! And tomato sauce tastes the exact same as ketchup lol. In San diego, I went to some hotdog store, and tried what i think was melted runny cheese stuff, on my hot dog, and it was tangy and horrible!! I was so shattered lol. and i also spilt my "soda" everywhere haha. epic fail. it was because we realized our bus had arrived to take us to the zoo lol.
Nawww
Ice storm? is that hail? or snow storm lol.
I try to play professionally... but im not that good, Ive been told im good enough to play in leagues though. I just cant join one due to work.
Family guy is the best. I have the 10 seasons on dvd
Naww that sucks that u dont get to see the dog
My old dog had tumors. one was in one of her teets (thats what theyre called yeah?) lol. It made one of them the size of an orange.
