why?

oh why oh why would i move out of Melbourne before January when The Strokes aren't playing any shows in Adelaide around that time??? it doesnt make sense to me........

touchtyped by kate at 10:18 PM ♥

that is the question!

there is still a little doubt in my mind that my move is the best thing to do, but then again i guess it is the easy option...but for obvious reasons i think, i think, i think, i definetly think too much.

buzzin a round on a little shopping high at the moment, coz i just got some dreded christmas shopping done, yay i can tick these ones off. i have decided that i want this years christmas gifts to be personal and preferably with some aspect of them being hand-made.i havent struggled with any ideas yet, but fear the creative side of it all might let me down. i was in a well known craft store this afternoon and was chased out of there by them having Vanessa Amarossi(or whoever) blasting from the overhead speakers, like WOW it was loud and i took it as very offensive. i would've much rathered some peaceful christmas carols to spead the christams cheer, or even complate silence.

i am a magnet, dunno what it is but for some delightful reason i seem to really attract the attention and therefore conversations with the elderly,(not that they really care, i am sure i am just another pair of ears to them) i let this grandma cut in front of me in the line(aaahhhh theres my mistake) and she started telling me all about the nativity scene she has nearly completed, and how hard it is to find these specific type of cord tab thingys. Actually i dont really know what she said, i just politely agreed and smiled. she did in fact make me laugh and therefore made my world a better place to be in today, bless her.

it's life Jim but not as we know it, not as we know it
ok so today was one of those days i realised that all things happen for a reason, and just when i thought i had a semi life altering decision to make, my boss helped me along the way although that would not of been intentinal. So as for her not going back to work now,like originally intended, up hers, but as for my services no longer being required, i guess i'm happy as i dont have to agonise over quitting. am kinda cut they got in first as i would've taken alot of joy from being the one to walk out, but am also glad its on good terms yarda yarda. waahhhooo i am heading back home!!! dont have a job or a place to live, but hey the glass is always half full, through these little ouchie ouchie lynny eyes.
Chapter 4......save dosh, find out if the New York City cops really aint that smart, clone Elvis, steal a convertible and get married in Vegas! and then run for governor........

that aint me!

i had the pleasure of chatting with a former class mate the other day(go the class of '97)and realised that we are all going through our lives with false impressions of who we and each other really were. i, and three others in the room,thought she was a good swimmer and we can picture her dashing through the water at high school swim carnivals, but apparentley she nearly drowned several times in fits of laughter while swimming. i guess she would know. and i was probably too busy planning my next excuse why i couldnt swim my next race, unfortunetly being too cool for school didnt work... and i heard that i was good at art....i may have done Art throughout my schooling life,doesnt mean i excelled and could live off my artistic abilities and skills alone. having a very sexy highschool teacher may have had something to do with my interest in all things artsy. maybe i shouldn't shatter their painted picture of who i am.

by the way, that girl never got her tyre changed outside my house, how do i know? well her car is still sitting outside,jacked up, with her no where to be seen. very strange!she's taken on my way of thinking when it comes to owning an old car... deal with it tomorrow.. or set it on fire! second option not so good as i am still waiting for a former housemate to return and replace the smoke detector, he ripped of the ceiling in rage, and therefore could sleep through the fire blazing through my house.I think it's a strength, some call it a weakness but i could sleep through anything

and then there was one
well i think i revisited every part of Melbourne that i have ever been to before, which was great and helped to remind me how much i really do love it.am i little disappointed that my sisters didnt fall madly in love but then again they are sydney girls, and apparently you cant be both! i dont know i havent been there. they were impressed with various parts of this city, mainly being Brunswick st and St Kilda, all skool. its very clear to them why i love it. They cant wait to get back to the city of churches and get back into the 'Fro Zone'. yay for Guy!!

i had to really hassel my boss to have today off and she rang and left a pathetis message yesterday expressing her dissapointment in me, yarda yarda so i am really not looking forward to rocking up there tomorrow. have known for months now that i really want to get out of there, but to go where? to do what? why oh why does it get hard all of a sudden. i have talked about travelling overseas or interstate, you know...just keep moving,is that running away? Guess it all comes down to being homesick which always hits hard every now and then, but with a little retail therapy and some Monday night telly, the bridge will be built so i can get over it..... but is the grass greener on the other side? and anyway, how do people afford to follow their dreams? do i really have to stop buying earings??

oh my god i bought three pairs this weekend, out of control. i got given this precious little silver bangle with my name engraved on it, its so cute but maybe the words "OUT OF CONTROL BUT LIVING IN DENIAL" are a little more appropriate.
come fly with me, come fly, come fly, flap flap

the waiting place
my shopping experience wasn't too bad as I was in and out within a hour, but I did realise that the Christmas shopping madness has began. I tend to get a little carpark road rage closer to Christmas. but today was painless. There was this woman that annoyed me though, as she used this clicky mouth noise to get the attention of her little girl, it sounded like she was trying to control a horse, not one of my planned parental techniques but each to its own.i didnt but any Christmas pressies, just other boring stuff and looking around abit. I love buying presents for my niece and nephew,they are angels.
so I missed a call from Japan today, oh no I could've cried. I only ran out to get some transmission oil geez.
I saw some girl trying to change a tyre outside my house tonight, I am such a horrible person for not offering any assistance aren't I? Oh I knew I still had to get under my own bonnet so didn't want to get too carried away, and anyway I figured someone else would help her.... but being in the centre of a gay area that I am, that could've taken a little while. BUT I am a horrible person for not contacting a good friend of mine for her birthday yesterday. I think I can write it off and just send her a super dooper extra rocking present! Long distance friends should never be forgotten, and I wont ever do it again.
still waiting to pick up the girls, cleaned the house....waiting.... did some gardening.....waiting....fixed my room up....waiting....went to markets....waiting.....ate food..and the waiting is nearly over, so very excited....
oh e tag grrr forgot about that
oh just take me to broadway....

potato salad for breakfast???
ok so i cant really complain that i had to work yesterday, as here i am today with yet another day off, i do have a real job, really i do. And so for some strange reason i am out of bed before lunch time, which is a great indication that i have had too much time off. I am like a little girl on christmas day, as my sisters arrive tonight!i really should chill out as the plane dont get in til 10pm but hey i've got pillows to go buy!!
ouch my flat mate came home lastnight bearing new injuries. she had fallen of her bike(push bike...no she's not one of those biker women with tattoos that Creepy Susie talks about) and had hardly any skin left on one of her arms, so dr me steps in and whips out some alcohol wipes, which i am sure would've done some good but felt horrible as it clearly hurt more then falling off. but a take away meal and bottle of wine later, all pain would've vanished for sure. her other arm is banged up with bruises from her basketball game earlier in the week, she looks like a hardcore skater! this is why i dont participate in any type of sports related activities.
i am not happy with myself today, i struggled to stay awake lastnight(after returning to work for one day and sitting through hours of crap tv before hand) to watch Ruby Wax talking to Ben Stiller, only to drift off half way through it, i dont know why i even bother. Lastnights tv was so bad we ended up finding joy in watching this documentary about these 50 year old lesbians. what no follow up on mr Australian Idol? i need to know everything.
i really must go pick out my wardrobe,(again) oh i am dressed but not happy with current choice(i'm a girl...thats what i do), and then hit the shops and return in time for some brilliant day time soaps. and then,
whats that?
ha?... oh yeah nap time :)

tic tic boom
well my time pretending i am unemployed is nearly up, and i must face the working world tomorrow aaauuuggghh i am kind of glad because to be corny as a cob, the place just aint the same without Pete. i still expect him and all his inappropriateness to be hanging around, lerking in my shadows. no outbursts of laughter. noone wearing pj's all day. no more ginger/soy/lime/what have you smells wofting around the house at dinner time. no more teabags. no more once in a life times! whats that noise/ is that him? is he the new ghost cat?

i once moved into a house with my sister that was previously occupied by her workmate, so we got the whole run down from her. i remember thinking she was a little crazy at the time because she told us how there was a ghost of a cat in the house. uummm excuse me? i didnt really know what that ment, kinda liked the idea of it though. it was a really open house with extremely high ceilings and kind of creeked alot, so therefore freaked me out sometimes when i was home alone. i remember being in my bedroom one day and hearing these feet run down the hallway really fast, yeah it sounded like a cat scattering out of the way. as always, when i find myself in this unusual situation i froze...... and then yelled out to my sister, who i prayed had just got home.she hadnt. i heard that again over the next couple of weeks, and kind of got used to it aswell. THEN one of my fish disappeared! i was puzzled but blamed it on the fat one who i figured just ate it, as you do.there were jokes about the ghost cat eating it but.. so i cleaned out the tank (and double checked it wasnt wedged in the filter) for Squirty, the remaining fish. a couple of days had passed when i checked out the tank and there were 2 fish swimming around. Tipple had returned. i am pretty sure that i am too old for my sister to replace it while i was out so i didnt get up set, and thought that none of it ever happened, so i put it down to the work of the ghost cat,meow
call me crazy

my hair was getting long, which has been my aim for many many seasons now but i just returned from the hairdresser and i dont even recognise this person i see, wheres your luscious long hair?? umm gone. i am taking this as shock and denial and am hoping these regretful feelings will go away soon. i cant even do piggy tails anymore, and heaven forbid if i cant pull off wearing a visar anymore, my summer will be over before its started. summer hasnt hit yet, right? maybe i just need to go cut myself a shorter fringe, that usually makes me feel better.

i am off to B's house tonight (gotta scooter around to pick up my car that i have still put off repairing until today.gotta wait for up to 3 hours for them to fix it so i though best to do while watching the box and enjoying some conversation. unless i get stuck watching the IQ test thingo that is on tonight. not it to that, is that because i am affraid of the result? doubt it) so i am looking forward to getting an oppinion on my new do. facial expressions tell the whole story.

anyway i will get over it, as i did hear, it WILL grow back!

monday....funday
so i'm finding it hard to do anything today, but i guess thats the joy of having days off from work. i just came back from relaxing on the beaches of Fiji for over a week and yet all i want to do is veg out at home and do nothing. i am little miss lazy.

i gotta get some things organised before my sisters fly in from Adelaide on Friday night, am very excited!i am looking forward to showing them around the streets of Melbourne. i see shopping, i see drinking, i see st kilda, i had better see alot of sunshine.

i have to deal with getting my car fixed today.i have called RACV in about 3 times in the last 3 weeks and i keep getting advised to get it fixed the next day, but of course when it starts in the morning i just have to push my luck that little bit further. the last two guys that fixed,it did it with a hammer and metal pole. i think its time to get it done. so i been calling around mobile mechanics today, making out i know what the hell i am talking about. I do actually know qiute abit about cars, thanks to years of owning numerous bombs always in the need of mechanical attention.(love them to bit though) oh my god i did forget the fact that i studied Motor Mechanics in early highschool years. how hilarious! all i want is a qiuck fix, is that too much to ask? my flatmates have their own car hassels at the moment. friday night some punks walked over their car denting the bonnet and roof, ggrrrr "you little punks think you own this town!!!" i am not sure i could ever live in another house with on street parking, its too inconvenient for my liking.

instead of beautiful palm trees waving in the wind above me i have crows squalking in my backyard trees. what part of "find another tree" dont they understand??
ps dont hold the motor mechanic thing against me.

i wish that was mine!!
not only do i love the Smashing Pumpkins but i am in love with the box that the Aeroplane Flies High comes in which is now a part of the family here and is sitting quite comfortably next to my fish tank.i really am i love with it and fear that i might have to transform it into my handbag, even if just for a night!

so my holiday to Fiji was unbelievable.it kinda sucked that it was a working holiday as i realised my boss is a toss but cant really complain(although i will) as it was all paid for. i ate a lot of pineapple oh so much pineapple.it was hot. i have come back looking quite bronzed up and am supporting that quite well. basically all i did was take the kids to their meals and relax on the beach. the beaches are unreal. i have never seen such clear water. i have never swam with so many fish and i have never seen so many starfish in my life, it really was paradise to me. i heard that the australian Temptation Island was filmed there, which makes it a little more exciting to me.

i went out with B tonight which was a lot of fun.we went to see a band down the road but somhow ended up in the city which always ends in us trying to con the Macca's girl into giving us a free hapy meal toy. the mission was unsuccessful tonight and i ended up paying 2 bucks for it, and also had some hottie scab a chicken nugget off me, and double dipping in my sauce! that so aint cool, but kinda was.... he was cute.
there were alot of ugly dancers out tonight! sometimes i wonder why they even bother.my all black attire was made complete by this silver Fiji badge that i scored OS, but being out of control i swapped it with some guy for a plastic lay( not even sure if thats how you spell it or if thats what its called) which i thought was genius at the time.it was his 21st(although his so called buddies said it was has bucks night-like whatever!!!)he wasnt sure that swapping sentimental for valuable was worth while, i showed him hey! even if that ment i get the rough end of the deal!
cheers to his head
i must go to bed

so i think i am having a horrid 'hold back ya tears' moment. i just gave pete his farewell present, which in actual fact is quite lame and probably the reason i have to keep from crying. i love a good gift, whether giving or recieving. i am so aware that we are nearly in to our final 24 hours together, as i leave for my holiday tomorrow, and there will be no Pete here when i return♥sad♥
i had abit of a computing lesson from P this morning which was wicked and very useful as i am going to be the proud babysitter of his gear while he's away. my brain feels a little fried right now tho, or that could be the delicious vodka we just downed out in the sun. man i love alot of ice, ice is nice. i predict that P will be up and ready to get crazy in a few minutes,i am pretty much always right!!
thanks for the public holiday Melbourne, and thanks for the writing in the sky mr man in the plane....

Kickin' it 4 tha bitches

Oh my gosh, so my bitch Pete set this up for me and mama's trippin'. Coulda woulda shoulda, actually did, who'd have thought he'd get his shit together? Never for a minute... he leaves dishes on the sink all day but makes me a damn fine website. Not that that excuses it at all.

So Cosima's resigned from Australian Idol, oh boo hoo don't wanna get the verdict think I'll just read a teary letter and get the rock out.

Just hurt my hand screwing up an empty chocolate wrapper, didn't exactly expect pain after all the chocolate goodness. When Pete goes I'm ditching it forever. My body's ready for the challenge. Maybe not.

My my, Survivor is on and I'm having to deal with lame housemates getting overexcited about Monday night TV programming. Might go hide under a blanket.

Oh his dishes are still there.
