* Due to Russian infiltration I am going friends only. Please let us know if you've added me recently under the guise of a Russian, or just stealthy like so I didn't know and if you want to continue to read.

My, my. 2 floods in a month, just how uneasy should we be feeling? This is crazy weather.

I have a renewed interest in drawing up astrological charts. Anyone feel like a free-bee while I practice and get good again? All you will need to tell me is your D.O.B the time and the place you were born and I'll somehow get you a hard file copy.

If I'm bombarded with requests this might take time though, so be prepared to be patient.

I started a new painting today. Going in a new direction but still using the pallet knives. Very red so far.

I was missing having blue hair again so I did a couple streaks in with the brown. I love that combination. Fun. Managed to work out how to use the hair dryer too. I have a shiny coat. :)

Have new ideas about traveling. Still want to go to Peru, but want the option of traveling around a few different places in South America to make it into more of a lost civilisations tour. Would be freakin awesome to go when the Mayan calendar ends but also just a little superstitious, with my mind make believing that a volcano will erupt or a huge earth quake will happen. Gosh I'm full of fun disaster ideas today.

Toby wants to see me again. I kind of gave him an ultermatum, saying sure but I'm not dating anyone right now. He was of course, thrilled with the idea. I don't know, I just want him to stop touching my head, that is exclusively for partners. Plus, the way he does it makes me feel little and awwww isn't she cute.

O, and what is up with this supposed drinking age laws thing? I actually wouldn't mind being the youngest in the club again, but as if that stops teenagers from boozing. There needs to be like booze ed at school, and parents should be teaching their kids moderation at dinner with food and things. Alternatively we could set up a binge camp where teens are subjected to the fouls of alcoholism and drunks but then we'd be missing the older shit stains that need that treatment too.

I really don't care either way. God, the only reason it is a huge problem is because of the baby boom, hence the dense population of gen y or whatever it is. Hardly the kids fault this time, is it?

Ho hum. What a Sunday. I cannot explain how weird it is to be on public transport for most of the damn day. Jugger, my faithful companion.. I'm so glad it exists.

so sore today, yay.

We are currently being bombarded by water from the sky. The kitchen and lounge room look suitable for small people to be play paddling there in their small person bathing suits.

but it isn't all bad. We watched Dogma.

I got a green shirt for Easter. Yay!

The russians are invading my livejournal. One of them has even deleted their account a week since adding me. Seems all very strange since I don't have secret plans of any kind. No I'm not building a super secret submarine or space craft. I don't have nuclear weapons.

Does that suprise you somewhat? lol

I do have a cramp in my right hand though from playing Mines too much. Owch.

JUGGER TOMORROW! 1pm New Farm Park! Come. doit.

Went and had some mulled wine at Yasis home last night. Thank you for wanting to meet me properly! Was great to see you and catch up with old faces. Do you have my favourite pillow by chance? I've mislayed it...

Night everyone, sleep tight..

Claire
Make sure the bunny gets it.

life feels surreal. I look over our garden past the corn and hen house to the trees and long to join them. splendid to feel no cold while sheltered in their boughs. a feeling of mistaken identity has come upon me. who is this person clothed in cloth who speaks words of time past, with cotton socks and smudgy eyes. I look around at the room and baulk at progress. books, photo's, pens, printed paper and plastic cd cases. what are such things doing here, why have them at all.

i long for an embrace.

Interesting day, interesting yesterday as well. Looking forward to work more, odd. Very odd indeed, still I'm thrilled I'm thrilled. :)

We went to Melanie on Monday, I bought a nice bright red shirt from an opp shop and a few awesome second hand books and we sat in the park and played an exercise intense game of UNO where if we got a draw two we had to run around the circumfrence of the park, and if we lost we had to do 25 push ups. I had to do none of these activities but I ran around anyway.

Today we were seed collecting mostly just off the beach and it was really gusty and grey and lovely. :) I have purpe finger tips from preping the purple berries for propogation. It looks funky. We had lunch in a park with permanent gym equipment so I got stuck in and i feel awesome for it.

Yay endorphins.

lacey_may I hope you had a fabulous birthday, & you certainly have a beautiful voice.

I have plans to come to Brisbane this weekend for Jugger, but since it's chocolate bunny time I'm not sure what is happening, and if anyone is free and happy for a visit. If you are let me know in the usual way. ;)

Haha.. that sounds worse than it is.

Well it has been raining. Lots. I'm kinda stuck here.

I got the insane idea to weigh myself and I see I've lost almost 10kg. I'm as suprised as you are, seriously.

The kitchen and loungeroom are a bit flooded, and the ducks are happy quacking away outside. Goats are not impressed, nor are the other feathered friends but yeah.

And I desperatley want to go hiking. Go figure. I'm also rather lonely.

Couple new things I suppose. One. I just watched some amazing pre show movies for "He Died with a Fellafel in his Hand" here: http://www.youtube.com/user/girlclumsy

I really miss living there. /sigh/ Sucks I had such a bad job/ crazy emotional relationship blunders but you get that with share house living. /sigh/

Aw, now I'm sad.

Also, I have a date tomorrow with a really lovely geologist and I'm tres' excited. :)

I am so sick of my parents arguing about floor tiles. Just get on with it, will you?

I know it is sideways, and my eyes look glazed and my hair is spikey but you get the idea.

I honestly don't know which ones better.




O look a crazy person.

....o no it's tiling the corridor time, which means family dispute time which means Claire becomes mediator time which means I get involved time which means no rest for the wicked. Time.

So, in order to vent frustrations here; have a little novele'

It's puny. I know, size isn't supposed to matter but this is an important piece for the collection. Dominic thinks so, so I think so. It is his birthday, so we mustn't disagree too often. But the size of it, just.. dissapointing. We were; O. When I say we I mean Dominic and I were in Greece and he had just settled on another significant but slightly overly viewed collection by some grecian man back when sculpture was romantic and well, I don't know about these things, you will have to talk to Dom sweetie.

Anyway I was needing the ladies room, as a matter of fact and so I waltzed past the secretary and into the first room that looked like it was going to lead me there. It turns out that it wasn't it but it was an interesting room none the less. Lots of smaller things, it is none of your buisness what kind, but smaller and well.. Irresistable. I came to my senses in that room. I realised that the art world was a battle field and that in order to win you must have a strategy. I know stealing is a rather uncouth way of winning, but anyone who has the prize knows that the prize is had to be taken. It so happens that this is no ordinary prize, no. This prize is worth taking and worth passing on. Worth unvieling to the world. Worth.. fucking millions.

It isn't a terrible thing to pass on art is it? This passing on means that others are exposed to it's beauty that the object is seen. Clearly, the object is supposed to be seen isn't it? Why else was it created? It is with this reasoning, and it is quite good reasoning I believe you know, the reasoning of quite a professional clued up young entrepenuer wouldn't you say? It is with this reasoning that the Venus De Milo is in my handbag.

O I know. This is no way to treat the Venus, but I must in order to show her to the world. Dominic doesn't know, he shant. Ever. This is my own little aquisition. My own crowning glory, this is my diamond ring that Dominic and Cedric and Harry and Benjamin NEVER quite got around to putting on my finger. No, with this piece I shall never need men like them again.

It is why now that I have the greatest piece in the world that I no longer need Dominic to share the world with me. Dominic can't help but agree now anyway. I'm getting awfully fed up with his lack of enthusiasm that I am now the most sought after art dealer this world will ever see. Maybe I shouldn't have offed him while he was lying on the bed in his birthday suit.

It's puny.

Hrm.

Ha, so a really great weekend, but not so great shoe functions.

To explain my 'faithful' roc goth boots are now post mortem dysfuntional and de-sole-d. I.E whilst walking home in the dark the soles of my boots fell off.

Aha, I'm sure.

Now, onto the fun updates:

1. Saving for trip to Peru come next pay day (Thursday) with govt funding going towards oversea's industry instead of home grown economic fail. (my reasoning being that the money would have gone overseas anyway, and also who needs a reason anywho)

2. I have a pixie haircut now. Feels great.

3. I've lost 4kg since my last weigh in, so now I am 65kg.

4. There is no four

5. I had a fun time visiting Honi's house and was quite impressed by her choice of visual entertainment and hosting. Also, happy to see her. :)

6. Officially in the top 10 of hottest 'womenz' in the vacinity of club 299 Friday night.

Update over.

Does anyone have any sexy boots in size 8/9 they wouldn't mind cheaply selling on? I'd buy some Demonia's but I'm saving for Peru.

Claire
At the same time I'm thinking of saving for Palenque

ALSO ALSO.. I had this strange dream this morning at like 4am and immediately woke up thinking: MOVIE IDEA so if anyone knows anyone who can/ does write movie scripts and is open to listening to a pitch let me know, I wrote out the whole dream in a story line pitch sequence but I have no experience in script writing nor the patience for it. That's why I'm the ideas man and not an accomplished author.

The script writer should really like and want to write an action come deceit come spy themed story. That is ALL I am going to say. BIG TWISTS likened to Chuck Paluhnuik's work, but not as creepy. Well, I don't think so.

I'm gushing. But I really want to write this with someone, it is pressing on my pineal gland chaps. It needs airplay.

So I'm in a pretty decent mood. Yesterday at work there was rain so there was eventual non working activities. We got to go to the park and play UNO. :D

YAY YAY YAY! Uno is great with 10 people. wowzers. Then we went to an opportunity shoppe and I got me Asterix in Britain on VHS! FOR 2 BUCKS!

YAY YAY YAY! It is awesome, I wish cartoons these days were this special. I am thoroughly over Sponge Bob Square Pants in the morning. I'm wondering why everyone likes it, it is crap. BRING ON THE GAULS IN STRIPEY PANTS I SAY! Bring on Count Duckula I say!

I have the day off today so I'm course searching for next semester. I wrote down every course I'd do on the sunshine coast and all together the tuition would take me 13 years and 10 months to complete. :D So I'd be 34 and a trades genius.

Yay trades genius! I doubt I'll be interested in doing EVERYTHING I put down but it's good to have a variety of stuff to learn, I like stuff. I wonder you know if I will ever have an 'occupation' since I love learning so much. If you could be paid to be a student I'd be like, in heaven.

I am coming to Brisbane tomorrow night I believe. What's going down in vegas? Who wants me on their couch? :D I am so organised, NOT!

o noooooooot work oooo.

and <lj user="insomnius" is right. What the fuck is with the loud lj twitter bullshit now folks? This shit is going to get me mad.

Forer Personality Test Results:
You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them.

You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.

You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.

At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.

Ha ha ha. When people receive this personality assessment, they rate its accuracy on average 4.2/5, or 84%. The punchline of course being that everyone receives this personality assessment. It was compiled from horoscopes.

When people hear claims about themselves, they tend to accept them more if the claims are positive or flattering, regardless of whether they are non-subjectively true! People also often give very liberal interpretations to vague or inconsistent claims about themselves in order to make sense out of the claims. And if people are told that the analysis applies only to them, they are much more likely to accept it too! It describes general human nature more than many think!

The "Forer Effect" is widely cited by sceptics as one of the reasons why psychics, mediums, fortune tellers, astrologists, mind readers, graphologists, etc. are so successful despite lack of scientific evidence that the claims are objectively valid.

So I am at home still. Not feeling well, nothing wrong with my physically just still all blah mentally. I'm finding it really difficault to get excited about anything. Where I should be estatic about my new job I am nervous and stressed out before it's even really begun. I'm trying so hard to not give up everything I do just so I don't slip lower into apathy but it seems that my mind doesn't care if I'm in a job or have something to do. It is going there whether I like it or not. Get me out of this emotional downturn. urgh.

Reading my email. Such is life.

I fed a dog on the beach some chips with sour cream. I figured it deserved them more than the packofmonkeys I work with.

Just people who haven't got a headache and aren't incredbily pesimistic.

Are you mean?
Yeah but I'm not aiming mean-ness intentionally. I'm just an angry young woman get over it.

O GOD PLEASE BE A CYCLONE TOMORROW SO I CAN SLEEP IN

Who is in the room with you?
nada

Do you think anyone has feelings for you?

I really want to feel free from whatever this emotion is. It is really holding me back.

No. Besides, don't you remember where I work? Like it matters

Mum and dad and kermit our green tree frog friend

Do you like to cuddle?
Yup. I would always choose cuddles over kisses.

Do you ever wonder how other people see you?
All the fucking time. Sometimes I think that is what is holding me back. It probably is.

Yeah, but not just anyone can crack a real smile from me.

Who was the last person to comment you?
When the fuck did 'comment' become a verb you could use in this format. Gah. Awful syntax... just fucking awful.

BANNED FROM K- MART...........

This is why women should not take men shopping against their will.

DON'T TAKE ME IF I DON'T WANT TO GO...........

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her
husband accompany her on her trips to K -Mart.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men--he found shopping
boring and preferred to get in and get out.

Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she
loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from
her local K -Mart.

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behaviour and may be
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr.
Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance
cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on lay -b y.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10 November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a foetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least ..

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

Regards,K -Mart..

I survived Cyclone Hamish! I stayed at Nan's and got to listen to the wind at night. Sexy wind. Not flatulance friends! :D

I ate wayyy too much chocolate. watched wayyyy too much tv and got to sit wayyy too much on my arse. Cause work was off anyway, and cause I had to do things.

IT'S AMAZING. Not really, but yeah.

Channel 10 has guerilla gardeners on as a program which is slightly disturbing & Highly illegal! It is fabulous! http://www.guerillagardeners.com.au (I think) It sure beats Meerkats.

I did some weeding today at some beach that starts with M. Not Maroochy or Mooloolaba. It was tres awful. I have boring job search on tomorrow (such a bore) and then Saturday I have that youth project meeting and then I'm off to Brisbane to drink plonk with Honi! HURRAH! And then possibly jugger on Sunday. Cause of said plonk possibly not. Heee.

It is free dress tomorrow I'm going to wear my cat in the hat skirt and be 6. Cause I'm allowed. Everyone is dressing up as Pirates, which is so yesterday. I want to see just once someone turn up as a coat hanger. I mean common, be creative!

Gosh I might have to have a fancy dress partay. Nothing done before being the theme.

AHA! I could!
