Well the first quarter is over. Can you believe it? Seems only moments ago I was gearing up for Christmas... oh well... what's happened to me? um.. left my old job, started a new one, BOUGHT A CAR! Yey! I've finally got my own wheels. Everyone on Sydney roads: Be afraid, be very afraid.

In other news, my brother is moving over here in the near future, all the way from Perth WA. I cannot wait, though I know he will be a bad influence on me.

Well, that's it for now.. will write more later this week. Jes' wanted you all to know I'm back and there'll be more poems stories and games archives coming up in the next few weeks.

Read my Sign My Guestbook. Little things annoy me. Immortalise yourself in my page.... JUST SIGN IT... LOL

Alright need to do some work now
See y'all soon
Bye bye now

So Christmas is over and a new year awaits. How this year has flown. I'm at work, one of the (very) few suckers that has to work over the Christmas break. I've actually been quite busy, tidying stuff up and all. :)

I'm hoping everyone had a great Christmas. I did. It was very quiet, very quiet, but I'm quite rested. The new story is slow going... it's well, you'll just have to wait and see. *g* I'm hoping it will be up to my usual standard.

I updated the archives yesterday, so check out and see what our intrepid adventurers are doing. I've also declared January 19th International Pay Out Asmodean day. He plays Morgan in the game. *g*

Oh, and please, if you haven't done so already, Sign My Guestbook. It sooo makes my day. You know who you are who haven't. Angry Woman, the Mad Poet... SIGN IT...

Alright, that's about worn me out...

Take care everyone
Bye bye now

Ok, so I've been kind of quiet lately... Christmas celebration after Christmas celebration after... well you get the idea. When you're an 'orphan' (ie family lives over the other side of the country) you tend to get invited to everyone elses gatherings, and, wow... I can definitely understand why December is the most unhealthy month of them all....

What else has happened... oh yeah, since the Olympics success with the fireworks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the newspapers over here think that they NEED to get an artists impression about how the fireworks will look this year.... sad, ain't it.

I have a new poem up, it's a little about obsession and a lot about love. I had someone ask me the other day, why do you only write about love and sex and death? Well, in truth, I don't feel that they're mutually exclusive, or that they're always linked, but they're the things that get people going.... get me going anyway *g*. That sounded kind of distasteful and I hope my mum never reads this. I don't mean going as in, you know, going, but it makes the emotions rise, all of them. When you making love, or in love, or with someone close to death, or even close to death yourself, it's when you are the most honest... you know? Are you still even reading this, invisible reader? Ah no matter, it's therapy for me anyways.

I am also writing another story (check out Tarot and of Love and Death.... I'm pretty proud of them) and I'm going to update the archives for Dead Planet over the Christmas break....so stay tuned. *gryn*

Anyways I'd best finish off some work
Please, all have a wonderful and safe holiday

Hi y'all. *big gryn*
It's been kinda busy for the last few days. So this isn't a big update. I am running the game now through Egroups - I figure let THEIR space fill up rather than mine. I will continue to update the happenings of our intrepid adventurers throughout the holiday season. I am also campaigning for some players. If you are interested, go to the Dead Planet site.

I have also written another story, Tarot. Be warned it's kinda violent and gruesome at the end, so be warned.

In other news, I have a very exciting art project that I am working on, and another in the pipeline... will fill you in as I am able...

Bye bye now!

Went on a river cruise last night, and it stormed. I didn't get hit by lightning, but by a half dozen martinis, champagne cocktails, champagne, champagne, champagne, champagne.

Well, we were there on the harbour... (see it at http://www.sydney.com.au/harbour.htm) if you look closely you can see me on the boat... j/k, and there's this electrical storm happening all over, and it started to rain, but it was so beautiful y'know, coz the sun was going down in the west, and streaking the grey clouds and the rain took on the reflection of the sunset.... sigh... it was so wild and beautiful....

k' better start work now...

But I need to sat this: it's amazing. Let's take a look at this situation.

1. Most of you are likely half way across the world, yet I speak to you weekly. I'll most likely never meet any of you face to face... it just blows me away...
2. I am really really hungover.

It's technology. It's amazing. Well the hangover isn't technology, but the other two are. I see the world in revolution/evolution at the moment. We are in such a tenuous and exciting position, like the first caveman who utilised a round rock as a wheel, like the great painters and writers, like when they discovered a mold called penicillan can cure things, when they discovered vaccinations for small pox. When the first man made beer for God sake... ;) And our advancements will be made in leaps and bounds - what's next - robotic prothesis' for amputees, mainjacking through shunts in our temples so we are effectively IN the computers, computers that auto diagnose illnesses before even we can. But for now, I'm happy communicating with others who, how long ago, five years, three perhaps, I would never have met before.

Alright I'm going now. You probably think my rantings insane. Perhaps they are.... :)

Talk to you soon

I think I've the propensity to get road rage easily. I know it's a failing, but I have to fight through Sydney peak hour traffic every morning to get to work, and it's so frustrating... but enough.

I will be updating the Archives page today, so check out our intrepid adventurers!

What else? Not much else. I bought Vampire the Masquerade last week, and now look like a junkie. I've spent so much time looking at the computer screen in the last few days. The game is seriously addictive, and there's something seriously sexy about being a vampire. Now looking for voluteers to let me practise in real life. Any takers? *g*

Apart from that, not much lately. Went for a walk along the beach last Monday. Now summer's happening, it's absolutely beautiful at night....

This is a picture that my friend, the Angry Woman sent me. I think it nicely encapsulates my sense of humour. In fact I have been laughing at it all day. I have a picture of it on my PC. Be warned, you may require counselling after viewing it. it's pretty disturbing. Though I think perhaps you've already got a pretty good idea of my personality if you've read this whole site.

And read my story - about a kinda different one night stand. And while you're there, Sign My Guestbook. Check out the Archives Page for my RPG Dead Planet. I have some truly talented writers working with me. Hokay that's the admin out of the way.

Hmmm.... what to say, what to say, what to say? It's FRIDAY here. You people out there in cyberland have NO idea how I crave Friday. I just crave it so badly. Friday nights full of beer and great conversations play in my head.... hmmm... and I mourn it when it is gone. *disarming smile* What do you people do on Fridays? Email me and tell me.

I've just started a new writing project. I'm quite excited about it, and I think it will really work, but I can't say anything much about it. Just trust me, it's good and profound. I will update you all when I am able to.

I must go now, I will write you more tomorrow. Do you believe I am free in 1/2 an hour to go home!!!! I will endeavour to write you something truly profound and thoughtprovoking tomorrow.

Cherchez la femme

What's new? Updated the Archives page today. The stories are really unfolding nicely. I hope everyone else thinks so aswell. The next updates, I will put the player of each character's email up.

I've also put up a new poem and a new short story. I really like the concept of this one, though I really had to work the words to make it work (if that makes sense).

PAYDAY!!! Yey! Monthly pays really suck. This month I was considering setting myself up on the side of the road with a sign "will write for money..." but somehow... I think I would have starved. No, doesn't matter, as long as I've got my... my what? Sanity? *EVIL LAUGH* Don't know where I was when God was handing that out. Or perhaps I'm sane, and everyone else is not.... Who knows?

Feeling much better now, still brooding a little, but hey - everyone's entitled to......

Signing off till next time, wantonly creative (or) rampantly destructive

*sigh* It's such a Hemmingway day here today. It's so grey, but it's kinda nice. Well appropriate anyways for my mood. If you don't want to hear me waxing lyrical (and oft not favourably) about myself, read on..... If you don't, I promise the next update to be a lot lighter and entertaining. Cross my heart, hope to die..... And, Sign My GuestBook!

So...sitting here staring at the code. Actually a LOT I want to impart, but then in reality, how much of your life do you want publicised? Hmmmm.... that's a good question. I'm suffering vague feelings of unfulfillment and disappointment and being taken forgranted lately. It wasn't such a great weekend. No champagne, in fact, I can't remember laughing once. And that's very unusual for me. I'd love to be a sociopath, to take responsibility upon myself only when I chose to. To be able to manipulate others the way that I feel certain individuals manipulate me. But then I let myself be manipulated in these ways. I know it even as it happens. Wow, is that self destructive or what? I really need to take some time out for myself, as I find myself more and more living in literature and my writings and the words of songs than in reality. Sometimes I feel all my stories are about other people. When I talk to people sometimes I feel like I'm relaying things that happened to others and not to myself. I'd love not to have words affect me the way that they do.

And what else? I'd love not to fall in love so easily, with people, concepts, writing. I'd love to dance on a road island in New York in peak hour traffic. I'd like not to automatically get so defensive when someone offers some critism. I'd love to be able to take emails back. *g* I'd love to be able to sit down with a blank screen and have the words flow, just flow. I'd love for certain people not to be able to hurt me so immediately with a gesture, a word, even an expression.

So I guess this has turned into kind of a bitch session, yes? In other news, the archives page for Dead Planet is up now. I've such a group of talented writers. Go to the Archives page to be suitably impressed.

And have a nice week. I'll see y'all soon.

8th November 2000
Ok, here is my Links Page. On it you will find some sites that I like, strangely enough. Hmmm what else has happened lately. Much champagne drinking. Yesterday was one of Australia's most alcohol soaked days, the Melbourne Cup. Apparently with a long a glorious tradition (think Phar Lap - a really fast horse), um I really don't know much about it at all, other than it's a good excuse for a pissup. *g* Um, the first posts for my game Dead Planet went out today. I'll put them up on the site soon. As soon as I get a reply.

5th November 2000
I'm having a hard time finding anything pertinent to write here. But you came here because you wanted to find something out about me? Well ok, I can't promise it will be interesting, or even that you'll learn anything, but here goes. *g*

I am a great believer that passion is what drives us. It makes us do what we do, act the way they do. Passion and pride. And love. See, I already don't know what I'm talking about.

Um... I'll expand more and pontificate (believe me, I do that well..... ) later.

Immortalise yourself and sign my guestbook. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest...*g*
