whats the frequency??

i went home on the weekend, but am back home now hmmmm

is home really where the heart is??

i guess theres where you were born and grew up....home number one
where you live now....home number two
where the majority of your family lives.....home number three
where you lived last year.... home number four
where you plan to spend the next year....home number five

i had quiet a fun time at dads on the weekend (i take it back when i said i could live there again, i had spent too much time in the car and hey lets just say i was drunk) but my highlight was digging through my boxes of memories. i still think i am dealing with issues i have with having to throw away alot of things when i moved from Melbs but thats the least of my problems believe me. i have loads of stuff piled away in boxes labelled "Sentimental stuff" which range from letters, diaries, concert tickets (ha no evidence that Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel was the 1st one i went too), magazine pictures/posters, blackened jewelery, and oh grosse i still have my pony tail that i got cut off over 10 years ago! and the saddest thing is that i still repacked it all back into the box again. i just cant throw it out. some would say i have attachment problems, dont think they'd be far off. i will chuck most of it one day i promise.......(throwing things out really is traumatic for mwa)
unlike the boxes i was going through the other week with Mel, that belonged to her ex flatmate (that due to her leaving on unfriendly terms, isnt ever gonna come back for them) at least mine are a good representation of how fuckin cool i am and always have been! Testify til i go blue in the face

ps if you ever get the chance to sift through someones life, please do so, even if it is just for me!!!

testify
why oh why am i awake right now? my sister crept in to my room about an hour ago, and whispered "do you have any hairspray?"in the past i have made a point of telling people that if they have to wake me up, do it in a gentle and delicate manner, but now i figure....just dont wake me up.there was no way i was going back to sleep eventhough i hadnt slept my self silly yet! oh well will leave that for dozing in the car today. hmmm abit axious about the trip to Jmst, boy its been a while.
had the usual Thursday bevs with Alicia lastnight.It started off by us telling the bottlo man a thing or two, believe me mister 'we know!!' she handed me a new Shins cd yesterday so we sat around listening to that and other hits. when Alicia tried to sit on the excercise ball holding her drink oh oh i knew she was drunk, and that realisation came for me when i tried to read the track listing.... i am really loving the music i have at the moment. hours passed, bottles were emptied, secrets were spilled, hearts opened, neighbours were woken by our fits of laughter in the back yard, oh i am sure they will TESTIFY to that!
i am dredding life outside at the moment as Sunday night i witnessed my mobiles vibrations knock my sunglasses off the cupboard and break. it only took me 5 months of no sunnies at all and complete blindness to come across them at Chapel Street Festival. i am heart broken.gonna try super glue today oh i've got to.i am not even rushing out to buy a new pair because i know that wont happen. sunglasses and shoes arent there when your looking for them, its a known fact for me. so gonna have to wing it. oh but how dangerous it is driving around with the sun burning and glaring into my eyes. Yesterday i laughed so bad at my self as i caught a reflection of me with my head far back and eyes hardly open, somebody would've thought i was asleep for sure. Marc and i witnessed someone driving while asleep once oh its scary. we sadly, were going through drive thru and the dude in front of us fell asleep between every window, and we had to keep waking him up to drive on to the next one. despite the fact that we talked about calling the police and giving his rego so he was tracked down before he killed somebody, we didnt and figured that getting some burgers and fries into him was the best thing for him, and would've woken him up completely! we also barked like dogs while placing our order.
i am going to go get organised, do washing, nip to shops, pre pack ya know ya know things to do yarda yarda

Rip it, .....Rip it good!!!
anyone who knows anything about 24 would know who David and Sherry Palmer are, i know how violated i was to wake after dreaming about them. it was actually quite funny borderline bizarre.... i was hanging out with David (who yes was still president) god knows what was happening there.....all was cool, sherry came along and borrowd my car,(which i havent owned for years oh bless my blue Datsun).i was then walking with this guy from highskool(aauuugggh) and we rushed down to to the creek where the action was and there was my litlle ol car in the creek, on fire! there was nothing left of it. so i marched off looking for the president and wasnt allowed to leave the area due to some restrictions. hmm sherry that cow. then next i know i was in a different place, different time and i was checking in to a motel, same as alot of my friends and other people. i had a new dog. i was given my key and went to room, where i discovered a door that led my neighbours to my bathroom,what i have to share? ha not gonna happen. so i picked up my pooch and went looking for the reception, which had moved and in the end was just walking around and around looking for it. Dont know what it mean, Dont think anyone cares, dunno dunno dunno
so my cake thingy didnt go according to plan,but noone know any different. i whipped it up before i went to work, but due to lack of greaseproof paper the cake never made it out of the tin, but super mum redid it and i did the centre and topping after dinner, and everyone though i was Jaime himself! they really loved it to the point where it was kind of embarassing. Nanna only called me the wrong name once, it was a good night! i was the one giving her a ride home, and i walked in on everyone warning her to buckel up and hold on round the corners, oh my god what the hell did they mean? are they serious? they also did say that if i can survive Melbourne i'll be alright getting to Seaton. (i do remenber driving some al and Jon round Melbourne and things might have got crazy but hey gimme a break it was the Grand Prix track) i actually got a beep from some hoons when taking nan home but she backed me up, it wasnt my fault :)
Bee moving home this weekend which is fantabulous. uh oh i sense some crazy things are gonna happen. Leaving the responsibility to Jess to carry on the Melbourne life for all of us, she will do well i know but how many Rip Ya Cunts can one girl yell??? that phrase should be written on all the walls in Melbourne by now
Feeling i need to do something very urgently about my hair, ohit aint pretty. speaking of, Pete having a hairy today(happy for him coz i can only imagine what its looking like) but feeling a little betrayed and unloved. was my hairdresser conversation not up to his standards, did i rub to much?? oh no stress Alicia making a booking, oh what a sigh o relief. hope you looking sharp anyway pete, and hope you took all my advice seriously, ALWAYS

had a fun weekend, but that really goes without saying as the Fringe is in town providing lots of entertainment for all, it's a family holiday! Alicia and i went and saw the funny bugger Charlie Pickering which i found very funny although i cant remember the funny things he said and done(due to lack of brain cells). oh oh actually i do remember when it came to audience question time, someone down the back asked why he got fired from jjj, and he led us to believe it was because he has an extensive knife collection that he became obsessed with sharpening and carrying at work, and they gave him the choice....the knives or ya job. Am happy to say he chose the knives. as it was my first show(excuse me excuse me i got a show to get to) i was unsure what to expect and let me tell you i wasnt expecting it to be so damn intimate. the room was itsy bitsy but luckily we both survived the firing line and didnt have to participate. pffew oh yes and just survived the drive in..... it was madness i tell you....madness. oh that reminds me i gotta wash Miss Tropicanas car windows
going to see the family in Jamestown this weekend which is very overdue. hmm nothing else to really say about that but...yeeehaa
i have the honours of making my sister her birthday cake tomorrow, which i am quite looking forward too, only because i feel bad coz i cant afford to buy her a present this week, and hey plus its a jaimeOliver one and its the best ever. mums baking chicken, i baking a cake!!
i a little freaked out at the moment coz for some strange reason i just got sms from mum telling me theres been a black out in her street and they just had to wait for somebody to shoot. What does that mean?? think i better go and investigate

sit Boo Boo sit, good dog
i am alive just..... i cant believe how hot it has been over the past week, i mean i think i heard saturday reached upto 44, thats ridiculous, it really is. all i could do was have a cold spa. and i swear that i can hear the road sticking to my car tires. oh i can only imagine how sticky my dads wall is at his house. You see he kinda has some bees hanging around his back door and i do recall them buzzing around a pipe hole, in the wall, where they have been storing their honey, which is now running down the interior and exterior of his back wall. i am pretty sure that one big lick and that house would dissolve. could it be that my dad is the real life Homer?? hey but ya know that if i were there i would be spreading that stuff on a freshly toasted crumpet.
one other thing that i cant believe is how dumb that blonde on NewlyWeds is......
"is this chicken or fish? i mean i know it tuna but is it.... chicken?" i started off thinking the ad for the show was abit harsh in saying, she's blonde, beautiful and brain-dead, but think we can all see where he got that from, she really is ridiculously silly.
so i have officially got some Fringe activities lined up which i am very excited about. going to some comedy shows which is a total first to me. i think i am scared that i will get picked out of the crowd. i remember watching DAAS videos and seeing them point out the lady down the front that is out of control laughing, and then paying special attention to the straight faced man, i know one of them would be me, i know it. i will be in the best control. Actually one of the funniest experiences i've had was when watching a funny film at the movies. laughing out loud was liberating or something, oh no...is this how those spooky 'laugh clubs' or 'groups' start?? do i have potential to be a laughter cult member?
Does the fact that i can hear dogs barking mean that i live too far out of the city??

i want some icecream i want some icecream

i keep forgetting its Friday, is that because i am not an alcoholic anymore?
so its friday the 13th and i was laughing about this time, with Miss Tropicana (both laughing with her and it happened with her.... roger that) that one blackFriday we were for some reason down the beach and standing on this path for a while and then we noticed this black cat strole out from this bush and walk across the path, umm isnt that very bad when a black cat crosses your path, oh we think so1! totally spun us out, we might've been a little light headed. so we got in the car to get the hell outta there but thought it appropriate to do 3 rings in the car, not only did we feel instantly relieed but also dizzy.
i also just remembered hanging with the Marx one friday the 13th, and we actually got followed home by a little black puddy cat, which i actually found real cute. anyway left it at the door, where it then preceeded to jump at the screenless window, meowing its little lungs out. a couple jumps later it actually dragged its kitten body through the window and plonked on the floor. it was cute and Marc thought he had got himself an new pet but there was just something really weird about it, especially its eyes, so we booted it out!
what is it with me and my cat stories? is it true you can tell the time by a cats eyes? or is that the temperature? or is that another one of those unrealistic things i believe although scientific evidence says otherwise, just like thinking hot water freezers faster then cold. i swear someone told me that.
i just had two calls from Melbourne within the hour which was a total delight. but what was even better is that i had a parking fine due earlier this week and recieved a letter today advising me of the additional overdue fees i would now have to pay, but i waltzed on in to the city council and some how lucked my way into only paying the original fine. ffeeww. how ridiculous is it that the additional costs are more hten the actual fine? dumb. i'm still running from a Melbs fine for parking in front of a fire thingy, oh get a grip i was gonna wake up real early and move. i just didnt..........
i got some icecream... and you dont have some..... your on the welfare....and your mom is an alcoholic!!! oh i am delirious
kisses

i just woke up from a really bizarre dream where i was hiding under this tarp shelter from gunfire that was happening at the club next to the place i was at.it was weird because i was scared as but kind of knew i wasnt gonna get shot, unless i got in the way. so i just hid in the corner.some of my friends got taken away,boo hoo but they must have been ok because next thing i remember is taking part in a long distance run and jogging along the Yarra, hmm think thats the last time i fall asleep while buffy is on. ( and of course then the phone rang and i was unable to finish the dream, but as if i wouldn't have won!)

my bag...my bag

i guess when i decided i wanted to move back home, my thoughts were that everyone had missed me as much as i missed them, but i think its sinking in that, not that they dont miss me, but while i was away, my friends and families lives did in fact go on. and moving back home(which despite my mood, i am glad to be home sweet home again) ment that i would just have to slot my self back into their lives slowly, and at the typical Adelaide pace..... i dont like inviting myself everywhere, and only do it, as it clear to me that my time here isn't to be too lengthy, and i want to spend as much time with everyone as i can. MENTAL NOTE....use this way of thinking next time i am sitting here twiddling thumbs!!

what is it with getting petrol? why do i hate it so much and avoid it at all costs?? (Pea wouldn't know coz he.....doesnt drive!!) maybe its the adrenalin that gets going when i know i need to get more but just gonna push it that little bit further.......oh i'll get it in the morning blah blah my old car never had a petrol light, so it was fun to see how far i would test it, and thanks to my luck and good judgement i actually only ran out of petrol once in Melbourne, that just happened to be on Chapel Street!! yuk its a nightmare. am excited to have a light in this car of mine now, but boy o boy i dont wanna see that damne orange thing again, maybe should stop being tight and put more than $10 in at a time..... i just think of the lucky ones out there, like my mum, that have a pertner that does that for them every week, hate yas. Jim and his mowing franchise have taken over the world, and now does window and dog cleaning, i really recommend he start a Jims BowserPumps oh he'd have my business for sure.Anyway i gotta get petrol tomorrow, may as well breathe it in and smile :)

while at this indoor playhouse for kids on Saturday i was so so violated, it has taken me days to deal with it. my sister and i were playing with our niece in one of those ball pits, which is always fun, but this time was different, as when i removed my feet they were covered in crushed potato crisps. some little filthy kid and their feral parents, oh how i was unpleased with you. hey i'm used to cranker feet but i wasnt prepard for this, no no. and then some girl spilt blood on the mats from her broken toe nail, sorry hun...not my problem but can you wipe it up? oh and as for Maddy,my poor little babe doesnt understand why she cant lick the coloured balls, i will carry glen20 with me at all times from now on...

i love living in a place with reversecycle air con, oh it makes me so happy during these hot days and nights, hey didnt i tell ya my thongs would be sticking to the ground!
got a big day tomorrow so best met some beauty sleep, and plus its getting hot in here.....i'm gonna take my clothes off.

Placebo coming in March, cheers to ya head

YARDA YARDA YARDA

i had this phone call yesterday which although only tricked me for a milli second i still find it quite amusing, ya see Dan rang me up and using his man voice he told me he was jon someone from some financial institute,(got me there but from there on it i was on to him umm daaah!!) where he then proceeded to ask if i had lost my virginity because it had recently been returned to him after being found in the gutter.......hee hee but now that i write it down it seems very violtating, so mission acomplished dude!!
So i took the new kids that i am looking after to their swimming lessons tomorrow and oh my god my eyes were stinging from the chlorine and i was just hanging on the side watching. yuk this indoor pool was sick. It is a pool with a meter path around the edge and then walls, i would actually consider it a borderline 'steamroom'. and when you see over 30 children plus teachers splashing around oh you can just see the germs floating and flying around, hence the high levels of chlorine i guess. hmmm not a real fan of public pools, or the ocean .... but strangely enough i think i love swimming.
i am dying without being able to use my digital camera to it full extent. i finally got all the cord and bits and pieces together after me throwing things in everywhere when i moved, to then realise that the computer i have access to has the wrong windows or something and therefore cant transfer them from the camera.aaauuughhh very frustrating but think i can do at mums so problem will be solved soon i think. i feel incomplete without it.
Spoke to Jess this week which was a delight. wedding plans oh my god oh my god, thats heavy babe, but if anyone can organise the best thing ever oh i know it will be her, she has a gift for that. she is a gift. (and Jess, i put my hands up for flowergirl roll, think scooting in throwing petals around would be right up my alley!) how i miss scooting down the hallway in our little south yarra house,happy days happy days.
picked up a Fringe booklet yesterday and am excited coz my sister is very keen to do somethings from it, and since its mainly relatively cheap we might actually do it! may as well get involved in the festivities ey
i was saying to someone the other day that not only did i love Melbourne but i really loved the little roadtrips friends and i would go on and i promised my self that when i came back toSA i would continue to do some weekenders away with friends, as i never really did them before. maybe its because time we did go away was spent going back to jmstwn or the fact we have all seen the sites to death, but i am hoping that someone will be keen to get out and about with me. not sue where, not sure how, but sure it'll be fun, sure it will.
this girl must shower now xx

I'M HAVING A MILO FOR DINNER

i have to clean my room tonight as my sister is having a house inspection tomorrow, luckliy i leave it in such a mess no one dare ask me to help do some of the house as its gonna take me long enough as is, so crank up my new cd and sadie it up! i actually thought i had to remove all traces of me so that the landlord didnt know i was here but apparently they know so i dont have to fold up my bad after all..... think i might rearrange, i really love moving my room around. i sometimes sleep with my head at the foot end of my bed when i havent been sleeping well, so think i might move bed this time. I remember hearing some fenshi (or whatever) guru saying that you cant sleep across beams on the roof and you cant have your head by the window, and that was absolutely impossible to do, while at that particular address, so whatever T.......
yay some normal telly returns tonight which sadly brings a smile to my face. grrr watched some mind numbing tv today to get me through til 2 when Popular returned after the tennis thing finally ending, and 10 mnutes into it i fell asleep. not the first time this has happened, oh i hate waking up to Reba, aauuughhhh get out of my life. Popular was funny, the woodwork teacher Mr someone announced to the class that from now on he was going to look abit differnent, umm yeah he rocks up in a dress. and MaryCherrys mum was a substitute teacher at her school. hahaha she made her take up smoking at the age of 10 because she had started to put on weight.
I dont rant and rave about smoking blah blah as some none smokers do, but pew why do i always get the smoke in my face, the ash in my hair and the permenant butt burn down my top?? that is the question. oh and does saying "hi ho rabbits" really chase bonfire smoke into the other direction???
went to the Central Markets on Saturday,(abit to much of a hectic place for a seedy girl) which i havent really done since a school excersion all those years ago. it was fun and made me miss my little backyard market in Melbourne. i miss that $8 dip, and all those ciabatas, and my weekly buy of salted nuts and dried peaches. i bought i spring roll and some crackers, and left the place feeling unsatisfied, but keen to go back soon.
work starts tomorrow, oh lordie lordie
