i shouldnt have to be subjected to:
a) the new pearl jam song
b) a drunken 'friend' staring straight down my top
c) fucktards at bars harrassing loads of chicks and me having to have them removed by the bouncer
d) work colleagues thinking its cool that one of them punched the other one in the face and telling me about it when i didnt even ask to hear about it... they can frock off tenthousand.
this world is starting to really aggrevate me and i dont like feeling this way. hmph.
was a marshal for the pride march to fair day yesterday and had a really great time, dressed in pink, of course!!
yay scottie, you did good!
if i dont see my favourite person today i will simply burst, because i think it would make me feel a whole lot better than i currently do.

so I'm reading Dead Famous...
by Ben Elton at the moment and it's kind of a crack up and is satisfying my reality tv fixation without me having to watch any reality tv. which is great really cos this years series of bb has let me down big time. i mean it's been a long time coming really as it's been slowly going down-hill.
bring back the biggest loser immediately please. "OH YOURE GORGEOUS!!"
and i even missed the finale of the amazing race. i hope the hippies won, they cracked me up.
apart from those two programs, reality stuff doesnt interest me any more. which is a darned good thing. i'd rather go out and kill my brain cells with alcohol to be quite frank.
friday we headed into the Powerhouse for the Pride Festival Launch. One of my closest friends is on the Committee that organises the festival so we went to show our support for a job well done.
peter sellars 'the party' was being projected on the wall of the powerhouse which was pretty spectacular, and there was loads of colour, sparkles and fine people about. all good fun.
then i went to the story bridge hotel. remind me to never never go there again.
The next weekend shall be particularly boring because i am running out of pay cheque (damn getting paid monthly is KILLING me... softly)... how un-fun. Wish there was a boy around here somewhere *scratching head* - hmmm.... *searches under the futon*... no didnt leave one there...

oh yeh ok...
last sunday i see... i am so scattered and such, as another weekend has been and gone already!
LAST SUNDAY: Zhivago play their first of four sundays at Uber in West End...
My new favourite person (yes, same as the previous one) who finally got back from Canadia and I drank a whole lot of beer (apparently it was only two though... *scratching head*) and then went to Chalk and bitched about how shite it was so went back to mine and watched I HEART HUCKABEES cuddled up under some blankets.
Exactly what I needed - a cruisey sunday arvo of catch-up.
This weekend was odd, apart from going to the races which i dont think i've done in like 5 years, went to the RE then into the Troubador for Charles Foster Kane, over to NY Slice and then GPO, tired and weary headed home.

after skimming over spoz's blog...
i feel I can't out-do him but I can at least give it a go...
Friday night... Pol's running late... we swing past the Snotcluster to return DVD's and grab energy drinx.... Pol sez "oh your joking, you legend" or something to that effect...
we drive to broadbeach... actually not really having any idea where we are going IN broadbeach, but hey, it's friday and it's an adventure...
we are looking for the blues on broadbeach festival to go visit pol's old pal chubby rae (aka Merissa) and her band, see her wail and inspire young girls all wearing stripes...
We watch some of edwin holt and renee geyer and head over to the broadbeach tavern, where our usually local MOJO WEBB is playing with band. It's very strange the broadbeach tavern, especially the fact that there are pictures of pauline hanson (eek!) and paul keating (not quite as bad) side by side on the wall... dodge-o-rama.
spent til approximately - well who knows what time... there, and then on to conrad jupiters... open 24 hours a day... and huge but particularly unexciting... so i drank with newly acquired friend andyroo at the bar and ran around the casino exploring.
we had to be out of the hotel reasonably early so got our sorry asses out of bed not too long after we seemed to get in there, and staggered into the sunshine muttering things like 'breakfast'... but not after smashing a bottle of nail polish on the balcony and singing songs from 'o brother where art thou?'...
had a HUGE breakfast at the coffee club and some nice conversation as well... hung around to see blind lemon and then frocked off back to brisneyland.
more on the hilarity and absolute bliss of my weekend shortly...

found this on my puter...
it's from the 3rd march 2006 but i never posted it... and i have no idea what i intended the title of the post to be either... suggestions welcome...
"and so bad and too affectionate and too silly indeed!
Last Saturday Sallie and I were torn as to whether or not to go out. In the end we went to the Rev to see The Gin Club, Iron On, Intercooler and the Giants of Science.
Didn't much like Iron On but the other three bands rokt.
And I made a new friend... the kind of new friend you're proud of... one that has a mutual respect for you and likes a little bit of silliness and will dance with you and give you hugs. One who's around my age and seems to be in a similar situation to me. I like making new friends a whole bunch!
And we were so trawling for boys... dirty slappers.
ah ha ha ha.
Got home at 4am after dancing away several hours at the troubador... great venue."

that's it! I'M OUT OF THE GANG!!
After the very unusual week I've had I may have well decided that I'm going to throw myself out of the gang and become a citizen of the world...
I had an anxiety attack on monday... told you i was having murmurs in there!! It feels like someone has wrapped a string around your heart and is giving it a tug periodically...
It was triggered by someone where i work speaking to me in a certain way... on top of having lots of 4 day weeks (cramming more work into shorter periods of time), interruptions because of a computer upgrade and various other things... having someone you work with speak down to you like you're the help or a piece of shit is disgraceful. I just want to go to work and do my job.
Anyhoo, so after this feeling not going away for a day and a half i was talked into going home... i then saw a doctor who confirmed anxiety attack... gave me some valium and asked me to come back in a week-ish... so I had 2 1/2 days off total...
I found it really frustrating because I thought how dare I let someone else work me up like that so badly... but then again, they don't have the right to speak to me in such a manner anyways...
I know it's the fact that they are miserable in their life. I wish they'd frock off but at this stage it doesn't look like it. At least it's been brought to the attention of our management. I mean it's a litle like bullying really, and if it happens again i'll make an official written complaint...
so anyhoo, i have decided i think that i want to become a citizen of the world no doubt. go and help out doing volunteering in some places and exploring...
more on this later.

a long time between taylor-mades...
which is a fine, fine thing... must be more than two months now since i bought a packet of cigarettes. I rock tenthousand.
Also a long time between posts and it seems like a long time since the world slowed down...
Olson asked me the other day what i'd been doing for the last five weeks... i thought ... hmm... what have i been doing?
when in reality i have done some way fun and crazy things indeedily doodily.
including painting 3 walls of the study, getting what i'm calling "heart murmurs" because of work, becoming more aquainted with Jasper which i've really enjoyed, and had loads of decent conversation... yelled "YOURE GORGEOUS" at the last episode of THE BIGGEST LOSER and bought some old department of foreign affairs INTERROGATION CHAIRS... well more like waiting room chairs.. but INTERROGATION CHAIRS sounds way more exciting and fun filled...
Oh and the PRODUCERS finally came out on DVD. I've been hanging for it and the FAMILY STONE to come out. I'll get the FAMILY STONE next week for sure. i heart the producers indeed. how classic mel brooks, it makes me want to go rent BLAZING SADDLES cos I don't reckon I've seen it in at least ten years...

haven't been exactly informative lately have i?
Well I guess all I can say is that it's coming up to a 4 day long weekend off of work which shall be sweet cos I get paid just before it and can buy all the housey stuff i want like a new computer desk and stuff and things...
was in RADelaide last weekend for my life-long friend Rebecca's wedding. I felt kind of weird because she has nursed out in the country for some years now, and we speak very infrequently so I dont' really know the guy she married. and i was feeling all conjested because my nose doesn't like adelaide weather (aka hayfever capital of australia).
Friday in RADelaide consisted of me going 'whoopee I'm not at work' a whole bunch of times, sitting at the t-bar for several hours (of course), going to Worlds End for wedges, beer, garlic bread and pool, going via the myer centre to find icecream, an atm and some fragrance (trav you smell most handsome!) and on to the grace emily for some more beer, some more pool and further fine company. If my phone was connecting to the computer properly then I'd be able to post some pictures. frocking technology.
the rest of this week has been consumed with playing the waiting game for little spudley! panda and the monkey have been patiently waiting also, and after 67 hours in labour he entered this world... with an exhausted panda and a broken monkey obviously relieved.
bravo to the newest member of the revolution...!!
now i know this isn't particularly complete information but i am currently fighting off a cold, considering going up to the 'newest' shopping centre around here to find hot cross buns and some juice/vegies etc to fight off the cold. *bash*.... *wallop*
and my new favourite person is still in canada! *hmph*

minx theory...
ok, i have a new theory... well who knows if it's a theory, what defines a theory anyways, does it have to have plausible... erm... cause... something to finish it... to proove it??
anyways, my new theory is that i meet boys at totally inopportune times... inopportune.... hmmm may not be the word but... examples:
a) skinny white boy, 22, met him last November, is an old housemate of my friends old fuckbuddy.... yeh gets all 22 on me and goes 'im hung up at the moment...' and where i know its pretty much because he wants to do well at uni this year... i'm like 'boring!'
b) helicopter technician, 26, my new favourite person and dancing buddy... goes to canadia to see ex-gf and other mates for five weeks leaving me with noone to dance with!
c) other drinking buddy... goes to work in another state for about 3 out of every 4 weeks... now whose supposed to hold me upright in the pub??
i am tainted, or jinx, or something, but i'm still the naughty little minx according to my gay-bf so i will just have to go out there and find someone who doesnt have hang-ups or ex-gfs that they go to visit or have to be away for 3 weeks outta 4...

*purrr*
just a few places i have been to in the last few weeks...
the rev
the troubador
ric's
the crepe cafe
the pineapple hotel
the oxford at bulimba
the three monkeys
yullahs
st arnou's bar - eagle st pier
nice one.
more soon.
but a few things right now...
i have a new favourite person and he's my favourite because he cracks me up, he'll dance with me, and sloth around with me, and he is friendly and nice.
it doesn't mean i love anyone else less, but he's my new favourite, i hope that's okay...
he helped me to remember not to smoke... somehow, i'm not entirely sure how, but now i am coming into the end of one month of not smoking, and that makes me happy...

re-posting from 22/02/06
I am one of those people that gets boys to do things for me. I admit it freely. Mostly things like changing lightglobes, go getting the six bottles of wine i just won off the winning table because i am laughing so hard!, try and help me move stuff.
And after all this time and singledom it's suddenly occured to me that i'm miles away from obligitory and always dearly appreciated and undeserved help from my immediately family.
So now that i've moved into my new place i've decided that something has to be done to make it prettier.
And so I am embarking on what panda and monkey have been endearing for so long... fix shit up...!
i mean, granted they had more shit to fix than me but so far i've ripped up carpet and lino and newspapers from as far back as 1953... gone and purchased relevant ie. "i need something hang my clothes and hats on" things from ikea ("oh and somewhere to put my underwear")... i mean lets face it how long do you have to live like a teenage boy (or girl for that matter) to realise you need more hanging space!.... and some sugar soap to clean up the shit on the floors that have not seen the light of the day in an awful lot of years... (ref. 1953)

"its in the things they never say..."
"how long is too long?
how far is away?
when it all feels so wrong in the end
and the time that it takes from yer day
and it's my time... again..."
i'm listening to bidston moss, they are/were from melborne and i really love them. and i haven't listened to it in ages but it's quite splendid really.
Erin and I went to see the Family Stone this morning with the delightful SJP and Owen Wilson (Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, yada yada) and i must say it was funny and also sad and all in all, a pretty darn well rounded film.
I give it four stars, but keep in mind I'm in love with SJP and Matthew Broderick so I may be a little biased....!! no i think most people would find it quite nice to watch really... it's not TOO soppy or romantic and the funny bits are fun-ny and there's a nice bit of sarcasm in there and a bit of touching stuff as well.
Nice one bruv.

hoo ha and ho hum...
now i know U2 are, for lack of a more cliched word ;).... a supergroup.
but i honestly can't say i'd spend large amounts of money to go and see them like so many have. i also found out through a friend that an old friend of mine has bought half a dozen tickets to put them up on e-bay a week or so before the gig. and i think that's shit, all it does is rob tickets from people who actually want to go. and so to him i say SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS to YOU!
the delectible (sp??) polly dyed my hair again for me last night... and i'm starting to look like jessica rabbit... which would be cool if i also had a tight body, but not quite there yet!! hehe.
i'm thinking of going to see the producers or the family stone today, even if nobody goes with me.
it's air conditioned.
last week we saw narnia... and whilst it was good there was something about it... i think sometimes the kids shit me or something. the opening scene made me bawl my eyes out but.
Harold is trying to kill Paul Robinson?! *phwoar*

Harold is trying to kill Paul Robinson?! *phwoar*

buzz! (ps2)
ok, best game EVER!!
i tried out this when back in addylaid over the silly season and was SO suitably impressed I bought myself a copy even though I'm not supposed to spend so much money on such luxury items! bah!
so we spent 6 hours playing it last night? is that excessive or WHAT??

hey hey hey, what's goin' on rudy?
things i did in addylaid...
saw high fidelity for the first time with philo and jules after having made up some cold rolls for the patient... high fidelity fucking rocks. i love john cusack... still not quite as much as johnny depp or jason schwartzman but there you go.
had pies from the purveyour of pies in williamstown and was witness to a returning kitty who had been on a six month adventure...
got particularly fuschnicken at the grace with judy, lucinda, yas, trav, woody and fiona. which was truly fun indeed.
spent a fine evening with heidi & warwick and our mates playing a very rawkus round of BUZZ on Ps2. i told my folks i'm surprised they didnt hear us two streets away because it really was quite ridiculous the amount of noise we made. it was a pre-new years eve in itself...
(ok, how the FROCK can that FROCKWIT from Australian Idol have such a popular single out already... i'm talking about erm, i even forget his name, but the guy with the stupid hair who apparently 'outsung' dan who as far as i'm concerned should have been in the top two... i actually got a little sucked in last year because of him, because i wanted to see how badly the bad hair bandid sung and cheer when he got booted off... but it didnt happen til right til the end... and if its supposed to be a singing contest, he never should have gotten in in the first place. thats my two cents)
ok... found my therapist. he's not dead, but he was very sweaty, as it should be on new years.
more later.

in 2006 i intend to...
take up a new dance class...
do things like yoga and swimming regularly to assist my weary hyper-mobile bones...
perhaps do some volunteering reading to the blind or at a childrens hospital where theres a kids radio station...
explore more of queensland...
save enough money to go on another overseas adventure...
stop smoking or at least not smoke very much...
drink less carbonated drinks...
and write much more interesting things more regularly on my blog...
still in adelaide but heading back to brisneyland in the next few hours... an update on my adventures shall ensue.
schlappy new year everyone!

ok i dont think i finished...
so i've come back to post a few more fun things instead of being brief and blaze about my existence... not that anyone is particularly reading so i don't guess it matters...
i've had more visitors in the last few weeks...
guillaume and molly stopped for a few days on their trek around the country working at festivals and cooking big meals for people. it was lovely to see them. i know both of them from adelaide, gilly did radio with me and molly i just know from around... probably the leah knows sharon whose married to leahs brother - n molly lived with leah thing. i treated them to some surtaj-y goodness (our local splendid indian store) and let them mooch in my house watching vids whilst i went to work, then we cooked a big lasagne the next day - vego of course, filled with eggplant, mushrooms, nut meat, zuchini, cherry tomatoes, lots of spices and lots of cheesy sauce. it really was quite remarkable for a throw together. yummo!
they told me they felt comfortable in my space, which is kind of how i feel about it... except for the lack of storage spaces for my media obsession of old videos, dvds and cds and records! which i kind of hope to rectify in the coming weeks... and the evil flying cockroaches that keep finding their way into my place in the evenings... grr! the collages on the walls are slowly growing, i believe one day at least one part of my lounge wall will be entirely covered.
went to a totally sweet little film festival at the globe in the valley the following saturday... it was called the far out film festival run by my friends friends housemates partner... get that! ordinarily i can be quite disappointed by those things, like you'll get a couple good things and the rest is crap, but this was quite the opposite. we drank a lot of beer and i met a bunch of nice people including a dude who might need me for radio stuff... which could be exciting.
the week before last i practically spent every day coming home, not eating, and feeling absoltuely drained, half the time not even putting tv or tunes on but pottering back and forth going 'huh?'... but this week wasn't so bad... sam and jarren came to visit last weekend from adelaide as well. they spent a few days down in byron bay staying at the arts village, and i saw their room down there, and when i find me a boy... i'm taking him there! wow! half outdoors and half indoors.... so yes, i drove down to pick them up because i'd never been to byron, and it was quite beautiful. we had some brunch, a coffee, and then had a bit of a splash on a beach and drove back on up to brisneyland... past the q1 tower which i've been dying to see... which is quite bizarre from a distance as it towers at least twice the height over ANY other building on the coast! woah!
dropped in on the vulture issue 2 launch and had dinner in paddington before my brain stopped functioning from heat exhaustion and i had to drive us home again. sunday we had lunch at the plough inn for jarrens birthday and then i walked home and let the kids go play shopping and gallery-ing for the rest of the day.
dropped them in west end so they could have a lovely romantic (blergh) dinner and went to visit nic and joely who were screen printing... well joely was screen printing, nic was passed out on a matress. i was going to wake him up by blowing a raspberry on his stomach, but then i thought if he wakes up with a start i could possibly end up headbutted and without any teeth... so just tickled him instead!
other stuff has happened this week that i aint going to mention... boring work related and emotion related.
oh, except i did have this dream about my old friend damien (aka Woody) from adelaide... so maybe that means I'll finally catch up with him over xmas.
and if i dont see my 'therapist' (aka love of my life) i'm going to burst!
