Feeling like a bit of a blogslut these days. I'm writing all over the place and its hard to keep up. Stuff was ok today i guess, felt a little hungover for the morning though.
Its actually been a strange day. Firstly - if you refer to a few entries back you'll see me talking about Greg and how desperately i wanted to see him. Well, guess who just cruised into Melbourne! First time in over 2 years. I'm going on a mission tomorrow to find him and i'm soooo excited. I'm just going to rock up and suprise him. There will be tears and lots of them....
Secondly - I'm on msn to Potts. Its been 2 years since i've spoken to him too! He now lives in melbourne and goes to RMIT which is just unbelieveable. Cant believe we haven't run into eachother. Unfortunately brett is studying in ballarat...grrr...but he does come down here often. Me and potts are having a drink at the oxford next week. yay! He's still with Katie too. I remember that night we spent in Baccus and he went on and on about her. Its just so great they've made it work.
Anyway, should go be more productive. I'll definately write something better tomorrow - after i see Greg!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like i have a lot to say, but its being spread so thin amoungst all these different blogs...

Wednesday, October 22, 2003
Currently listening to: Horns - Couch
Currently thinking: That i wish exams were over. That i should put some clothes on.
Currently feeling: Excited about seeing Reiko tonight. Not so impressed about going out though.
Conspiracies...
1. Stupid subject selection. This day of every year drives me fucking crazy. None of the subjects in my major (that i haven't already done) actually appeal to me. None of them are slightly useful and therefore can be excused for being boring. None of those that i choose are excepted by the system. For further rant about this see Hello Ariel.
2. I was NOT going to go out tonight. I even said no to Breecys b'day thing at Puggs with the army boys (i wonder why?!!?). And then Kat called and insisted i come with her and Reiko to Rockroom because they want to dance. And i said no and she used her stupid emotional blackmail "ooohhh i never seee you...and i soooo wanted to go...oh well...maybe we just wont go...and i'll sit at home like i do every night. even though i've just finished exams and was soooooo wanting to party. No, its fine...i'll just stay home. Reiko will just have to do something else too even though i PROMISED her. No...its fine...seriously............................." Oh for fucks sake. why do people need me to have fun? Dont answer that. So yeah, i said until midnight latest. You dont understand how fucked i am with my study. I AM GOING TO FAIL. But yeah, i guess seeing Reiko will be cool.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY: I'm in my car, listening to the radio and what song comes on? You'll never ever believe it. "HCHELLO HCHELLO". I almost screamed. Well ok...i did scream. I was driving along singing at the top of my lungs. It put me in the best mood ever. And then, all of a sudden my phone rings. Who is it? CHRIS!!! Hes like "you'll never guess what song was just on the radio!"...totally cool. I haven't heard this song since the last time i was at his place (over a year ago now) and we taped the telephone to the wall with electrical tape and wrote 'hchello' across the hall. We dedicated almost every spare friday to this damn band. It was highly exciting for both of us. Cool to speak to him too. What a beautiful, gentle soul he is...
La la la la la di daaa...Ok, i'm on a bit of a high right at the moment. No reason in particular. Been kinda a long day i guess.

Wow. For the first time ever i just read my book, 'Three', from beginning to end. It took most of the day but I am intensely proud. Not of the quality, which is still lacking if i really want to make any impact, but simply of the fact that i wrote something so substantial - and it isn't bad. There are some really good sections if i look at it objectively. Wow. So excited by this. Wow.
I am not only smiling, i am shining too. I am so proud of myself.
"The moment is indefinite but for the feeling of intimate complicity...truth veiled by a fleeting contentment."
Indeed.

I am smiling. I wish there was some non-verbal way of expressing that on the blog so i could record that on this particular day i smiled all day. But i cant, so i shall be content with writing it instead.
I woke this morning to the sound of great chill out music in the kitchen and the smell of strong, fresh coffee. The fact that is was raining made it even more beautiful to be relaxing in bed. God i love sundays. More than that, the start of the day is very important, if it is good then you will have a good day i believe. Theres nothing like waking up in the arms of someone you adore, knowing you have nowhere to go, nothing to do but enjoy the moment. I love the time just after morning sex where you're lying there, breathing deeply, bathing in the shared heat and glow of your bodies, and for a second theres a level of intimacy thats like nothing else. I love being naked, smelling so humanly of sex and someone else, of warmth and the evening before. Its such a pure, natural thing. I generally hate mornings - but not this morning. Life should be like this all the time. I think i'll put in a request.
Lans' 21st last night. I have been to about 7 in the past month, and every time i stand there thinking "I cant wait to have all my friends in the same room!" Wasn't a bad night, though i was painfully tired and had a headache. Didn't know many people either, except James, who i was banned from talking to, and Rossy. Ended up just watching the rugby with this poor guy who didn't know anyone at all (not even Lans) and had been ditched by his girlfriend who'd insisted he came in the first place. The speeches were funny as always.
Have my WEF presentation tomorrow and i'm sooooooo nervous already. I really dont want to give it, because i'm just not happy with it yet. I was quietly pleased with my last one, so that was ok, but...hmmm...so nervous.
Things i like at the moment:
- the following bands: Turin Brakes, Beautiful Girls, Speedstar
- the following websites: Camilles xanga, selftaughtgirl.com (shes just an amazing writer)
- the following people: Greg (god damn it i miss you so so so so much greg. If you're reading this please bring that beautiful ship of yours to melbourne to visit me. If i dont see you soon i think i'll cry. Thankyou for your email my love, keep having fun!). Scott - mmm. Ez - a sweetie. Zoe - my angel. Breece - fuck its his birthday!!!!!!!! I forgot!!
- the following books: The autumn of the patriach - Gabrielle Garcia Marquez is the greatest writer of our time and is my absolute hero. The stories of Eva Luna - officially the best prologue ever written.
- the following random things: bed, my grandmas impression of modern music which had me in tears tonight it was so hysterical, my predictive dreams about horse racing, the new house with bumpkin, breece and warfey - should be rocking, the beach.
Thankyou and goodnight.
It has finally happened. I knew it had to eventually, but i never believed it would happen at this soon or because of this particular catalyst. Its a great thing, but i'm not as thrilled as i thought i might be. In some ways i'm a little sad. I know that is crazy, and slap me if you want, but seriously, theres something beautiful about possessing those feelings. Its a wonderful headspace to be in, and that kind of selflessness teaches you a lot about yourself if nothing else. But these things run their course, they pass and you are wiser because of them. This has passed and i feel very peaceful.
I think that was possibly the most vague and ambiguous post ever, but right now i dont know better words. I'm so insanely tired.
Its been an interesting couple of days that i will share later, when i can keep my eyes open.
Goodnight.
