best conversation with an old lady at the bus stop today:

her: oh, I'm sick of all these stupid cooking shows!
me: what?
her: *pointing at an ad on the side of the bus* the Hunger Games! They're getting more ridiculous as they go on!
me: yeah. in this one they probably just have to kill each other off to win
her: I wouldn't be surprised, lovie!

arch nemeses

*me freaking out about starting tafe*
me: and what if I make an arch nemesis on the first day and they spend the rest of the year trying to destroy me?
mum: you can't let people like that control you, just tell them...
me: OH MY GOD MUM, YOU CAN'T TELL AN ARCH NEMESIS WHAT TO DO!
