AUGUST 2005 You probably don�t know this (mainly because you are an electrical appliance and I try to keep secrets from you because I�ve heard the rumours!) but I have purchased an apartment. Yes, an apartment. Some might call it a flat, but I don�t because I am a classy lady and I refuse to live in a simple �flat�! (hehe yeah, I really should stop kidding myself�.. one of these days)

For this reason, most people think I�m crazy.

Yeah, I don�t have a great deal of money to play with from week to week.
But I also don�t have to ask to put a poster up on the wall (not that anyone ever does).
I don�t have to worry about being kicked out.
I don�t have to worry about overly anal or underly anal housemates.
I don�t have to worry about the impending doom that is, someone not doing the washing up for a week and a certain cockroach and his extended family coming over for dinner.

So it�s fairly sweeeet.

I do live next to a couple of bogans who are awake all the time screaming expletives at each other. But that�s fine! That�s what Marrickville is all about! That and cheap Vietnamese food and the free titty show at the RSL.

I also have the option to up and leave at any moment and get someone in to be paying my mortgage off for me!

So as much as I thought I had got the whole travel thing out of my system but recently I have been just randomly looking at job prospects elsewhere and have noticed a lot of jobs in the UK that I can do. So who knows? One day I may be back there.

ZOO!

On a lighter note! I won a heater and a $10 voucher for Woolworths last night! I also got to see Interpol for free! I would be more excited if I liked them� but hey, I never turn down something free� and the support band were awesome.

I have also been getting slightly more friendly with the whole concept of going near the beach. I have generally hated the beach for most of my life (despite my mother living 2 blocks from a quite loverly beach)�. Oh I don�t know! I still don�t think I�d feel inclined to ever swim at one again (much like my incredible fear of spa baths and public swimming pools � if you�d seen what I have seen!)� they are nice to sit on and eat vegemite sandwiches!

Ooh that reminds me! aah i'll do it later.

Now that I have a whinging pom also sharing my habitat with me, life has become somewhat more touristy. I didn't really realise how much cool stuff there is around my place! (it also helps when your place of work is a major sponsor for the zoo -  FREE FREE FREE!)

It was also an awesome experience getting drunk with my father and showing the Smiley one what a real bbq is.

I know also have someone to drag out dancing with me any day i choose! Brilliant!

The only downside really... is that most of the time i can't understand a word he is saying (unless i make him speak in a high-pitched voice)... oh! and that he only eats sausages.

I hate the guy that workds in the lab next door.... and volunteers to come and vapourise him from my life?

sausages and onions and beer... what more do you need?

kangaroos and wallabies - internally fuming
BACK
converse all-stars on Manly beach - oh how artistic... now where's that vegemite sandwich?
