The word "crap" does not even begin to describe how bad i've been at blogging and just generally keeping up to date recently. Apologies to all those who've kindly sent me reminders that i'm neglecting this page.

Life is a changin. Or to be precise, life has a changed in mammoth proportions. I just took a moment to peruse some old blogs and hardly recognise myself. So whats going on you ask? Well firstly the new pad. Its beautiful and indulgent and i love it. I lounge around in my big front room, watch my creepers take over my walls in big purple flowers and the sparkles of fairylights, listening to my now vast (due to over-spending) CD collection and drinking wine. The suburb is like its own little world, ridiculously cliquey but so friendly and close. I know EVERYONE and they know me. I walk up to cafes and they bring me what i want without even asking - its gold. Monthly there is a big warehouse party which the whole frickin suburb attends and gets retarded. Zoe (housemate) and i are becoming very close too and go out heaps to wonderful gigs at 101 (currently my favourite place) and ding dong and stuff. We hang out with all these great rock people with great tastes in music who are so chilled out. I'm lovin it.

Then there is Matt. I know i've mentioned him before but i dont think i've stopped to explain or describe. Matt is...well, my boyfriend. Ahhh the scary b word!! I've been seeing him (in one sense or another) since our eyes met across a crowded room in decemeber and my knees went a little weak. Some would describe him as the sexiest guy on the planet...and they would be more than right. He is beautiful, passionate, amazingly intelligent and loves to travel. He has great taste in music and movies and stuff. I'm not in love, but only recently am i beginning to appreciate the depth of my feelings for him. I really adore him and love being with him. He told me the other day that he was falling in love with me, which didn't scare me at all, it just made me feel warm and fuzzy. Its a good relationship, a healthy one for a change and it makes me happy. Still, my heart and my mind are in disagreement as always so i'm taking my time. I'm in no hurry :)

Uni. Well while i write this my printed materials lie undisturbed in their plasic wrapping beside me. I'm not doing so much on the work front, but kinda attending from time to time to soak it in. Have developed a passion for learning stuff, like being educated, hate actively doing any work! Arts side is not rockin my socks, but have met some cool peeps. I earlier in the year accepted a challenge to befriend a guy my friends and i refered to as rock boy (due to the fact that he dresses in the most unbelieveable way). Rock boy (aka Rob) is seriously the most rock individual i have ever met/seen in my life. Have decided upon speaking to him that he is the pesonification of music (weird statement i know). So i worked my charms, managed to convince him to look beyond the blonde hair and short skirts and realise i'm not a ditzy moron. His quote: "jesus, i though you were just some hot artsy surfer chick". So i won, and now we're really good mates. Hes fun to hang out with, be stoned with and rock out with. Have made a few new friends, but kinda just chill with the same old crew. They're silly, but good people.

Quit my DJing job for reasons best known to my psychopathic self and the time i quit! Still, i am basking in the freedom and poverty that is temporary uneployment. Ty is opening a new cafe/bar/all night place to hang in errol st and i get to work there soon enough.

Other than that...well lets see. Seen a few good movies, the best of which has been Irreversible - so see it if you get the chance. To quote rock boy "just dont expect a julie andrews sing a long". Seen many amazing gigs. Read so many great books - check out Ghostwritten (sounds crap, but suprisingly good). Bought some wonderful albums, favourites include Reindeer Section, Wilco, Franz Ferdinanz, Darkness, new Datsuns and Cut Copy.

Went on one mega fun road trip to Syndey. Toured around with SIS, and fell even more in love with the wonderful, wonderful Ben (long story, mutual adoration, live in different states). If any of you boys are reading this - you're my fav australian band, i love you and i love your skirt and shiny purple shoes gus. Come to melbourne and show everyone how completely brilliant you are. Took far to many drugs (note to everyone: never use supermarket recipts in place of proper rolling paper!!! Wacko dream city), lazed around on Bondi beach and were generally our pretentions 'melbourne is the rock capital' selves.

Thats about all i have time for right now. Must go do something that at least resembles school work and attempt to not get too drunk tonight.

As ALWAYS:

Jessie, why werent you in Sydney when i came to visit?!! I love you so much boy, your silly emails brighten my world even more. Tell Ben that my final answer is green!!

Ads, i miss you. Enjoy NY, let the city run you wild.

Mia - where are you? hope that you are ridiculously happy, safe and stayin your beautiful self.

Andrew? Do you still read this?! Hehe, probably not, but hi if you do happen to cruise by. Hope you're travelling safe and having the most amazing time. So jealous, cant wait to catch up and hear stories. Love ya.
