| To Bitch & Complain |
| December 07, 2002 9:01pm It's a quiet Saturday evening. Dad is coming to pick me up in an hour or so and I'll go to church tomorrow morning - not to get back into religion, no way, just to get out of the house and do something and maybe meet people - who knows. Katrina was having a BBQ this evening but there was no way I was going - I'm just not into social gatherings, well, some... but uhh. I've only slept at home 2 or 3 nights this week. Monday Mick actually came over in the evening (took him 3 hours to get to my place) and we played the SNES ("You're pretty good for a chick" - oh!) and then uhh, Tuesday I slept over Craig's place, then Wednesday slept over Dad's place. I spend most of my time at Craig's now and it's always fun - he's like my big brother really and I always feel safe with him which is good. He's one of those few people I can rely on with anything at all - when I'm down he and my Mum are probably the only 2 people I would ever think of telling. Yesterday Mick and I met TomE in town and we sat by the Torrens River and listened to the Rumba festival and then went out to Mick's place, ate chips, drank coke and played Gran Turismo (I must include here that I kick TomE's ass at that!). I slept upstairs with Mick and TomE downstairs on the dodgy sofa (and I feel extremely guilty about that, poor thing). Around 3am Jefferey, Adam & Justin came home from a party and they were completely out-of-IT. Mick and I were upstairs and Justin runs in and would not stop talking - it was kinda funny, he then broke a stereo by sitting on it, and made sure I knew he wasn't gay. He asked what the hell is going on with Mick and I - good question really since I have no idea either. I don't want a boyfriend, but the affection I get from him is kinda what I'm craving I guess. I dunno - this forum isn't the way I want to think about such stuff. So all the boys were downstairs playing GT and so Mick and I joined them. I went to bed around 4 - I was half asleep, and still am. God, there is so much more to share about what has happened but others may read this and I'm scared of that :P November 23, 2002 9:17pm What a week, what a month! I'm staying to live in Australia - and believe it or not, I'm happy about the decision. I don't know where to begin about what has happened, so I'm just going to have a quick round-up of the weeks. Kent Town was a lovely place to call home for 10 days. People came over to swim in the pool (Mick, Cini & Katrina). I've been out to a few pubs already and met a groovy girl named Karen who is just a scream! It's nice to finally have a girl-friend! Karen went out with Craig and I to a few places, aswell as TomE (hmmm) and we went driving in Craig's jeep with the top down... true summer vibes floating around. This past week has been hectic, really stressful. Saturday evening Craig slept over and we had a good time together along the beach eating breakfast. Monday I moved into Tony's house and crashed on the futon for the first couple of nights. Tiesday Mick came over and slept on the futon with me for 2 nights (he was so much fun). I don't think I've laughed so hard since being here - Mick puts on this true Aussie accent which just makes me laugh so hard. It was nice to be around him - it wasn't weird at all which is weird in itself. I've played video games at TomE's, slept over Craig's house (slept like a baby), given up smoking, smoked again, gone swimming at the beach with Craig and Mick, met Mel (cool chick), discouraged weed smoking & flirted my ass off. I saw Sean last Saturday but I wont bore myself with the evening - oh, but I did get to meet his friend Adam, who I might add, is quite... well, quite *nice*. I'm having the time of my life here.... but homseickness kicks in at times and I get so down. Lastnight I had to go home since I was feeling just awful. It comes and goes. Craig has been my support through it all - he's taken me in and comforted me and really been there when I was feeling lowsy... I love the guy. I bought a futon today with Tony - he's a good shopper, finding me bargains. I like the whole flatmate thing - it's great, I feel like a real 20-something girl :P We went to Tea Tree Plaza together and checked out all the delcious guys and gals... it's fun being with someone who can appreciate the same sex! We ate hot chips in the car on the way home with puppy Kristy. Dad & Vicki and the boys came over in the afternoon (I really love their company - I've missed out on so much) and they donated a wardrobe to Rach's-Charity-Fund and stayed for a coffee which was really nice.... The boys are so cute and into mischief! They keep asking questions about America which is cute. We've arranged to go out this week (Vicki, Steph and I) for a girl's night of coffee and window-shopping so I'm looking forward to that! And tonight - tonight is Saturday night and I find myself at home once again! TomE called though!!!! We're going to the museum tomorrow, so I'm VERY excited! It's so sweet that he remembered that I wanted to go there, I never thought he was listening to me ramble on... hmm! So I get to see my baby TomE tomorrow and life is once again, a bowl of cherries. |
