| i suck at blogging. |
[27 Oct 2007|08:01pm] |
god, i'm so bad at this blogging thing. i used to be good at it once! but i'm not anymore, in case you couldn't tell...
well, since i last made an entry, a lot of things have happened. i have been on tour with the clientele, shot a video clip, realised that i am bad at seeing my friends as much as i should, decided that i am moving to melbourne in late january/early february, decided that i need to make more of an effort to see my friends before i move, enrolled to study public relations & events management externally, released a cd for the first time, recorded with my other band, jack on fire, drank more alcohol than i should, written a lot of my own songs and much more but this is what comes to mind from the top of my head!
it is so hard trying to allocate my time at the moment. between hectic work rosters, two bands, one of which i manage, studying and trying to do my own music i am beginning to feel exhausted!
in a few weeks i will be ending my four year living relationship with one of my two best and dearest friends, esther, and moving in with my other best friend, ben. i am sad about this as it is the end of an era! but at the same time i'm excited about not knowing where life is going to take me over the next few months!

dear diary; oops i did it again! according to livejournal, it was 21 weeks ago that i typed in you with an entry promising punctual and regular updates, only to have abandoned you - again. well this is all going to change. embracing the blog generation is so very important to me, now. i feel that the next 6-12 months of my life will be eventful and there are certain significant achievements and life changes that i wish to document!
until next week.. (i promise?)

well, well, well. another month+ of not updating this thing. i think that should change soon because not only do i love occassionally sifting through old entries and reminiscing on things that have happened in the last few years (i have kept this journal since high school), but i also feel like this year hold many important events for me and the people around me and i would like to make sure i capture them and i am way too lazy and not content with my handwriting to put it all on paper. plus, we are living in the blog generation, i say we embrace it!

the last time i wrote in this journal was in october, but i still read all of my friend's posts now and then. i guess the reason i came to post now is because yesterday at breakfast, jess horrocks and esther and i were discussing how funny it was that around this time of the year everybody becomes reflective and starts to think about what they achieved in the year just passed and what they hope to achieve next year. we talked about what we'd all be doing in another ten years, whether we're all married, or living in another country, or running businesses or being movie stars and decided that no matter where in the world we were at a specific time that we would all meet up again to reunite and it would be a riot!
anyway, i am no exception to wanting to reflect on the last twelve months!;

i haven't written in this thing in donkey's.
well let's see. my car broke down again on the way to practise on tuesday. THAT IS THE LAST STRAW!! so if anyone wants to buy an ugly, unreliable station wagon off of me for very cheap then please feel free to contact me! all it needs is an imobolizer, a new timing belt and work on the fuel tank thingy. also, the front driver's door is broken so you have to climb in over the passenger seat to get in every time you drive and some of the seat belts have been chewed away by the dog of it's previous owner. oh, and the tape deck is totally ruined. any takers? :D

i am so bored. even bored enough to be updating my livejournal! i am upstairs in the merchandise section of 78 records "working", but if there are no customers there is really not much i can do. so i have finished reading 'chronicals' the bob dylan autobiography for the second time and waiting for my break so that i can go downstairs and buy another book to occupy myself with.
lately everything has been peachy. well, most things anyway. but the good outweighs the bad as i have met one of the most amazing people in the world and since being with him has made me the happiest girl alive! plus my always excellent group of lady friends can always put a smile on my face, and of course the band!
i could write a really long entry to account for everything that's going on at the moment but i really can't be bothered!
the end.

well monique livejournal "nudged" me. or something. so i guess i should update.
i don't really know what to write about. yeah, blah blah blah, my life is awesome at the moment. everything is sweet. as the principal at my highschool would say every morning; "the birds are shining and the sun is singing" in a metaphorical context as outside it is in fact raining.
um... how about i post some photos from monique and erik polaire's fantastic party of fun which was held over the easter weekend (?);
( sure, why not.Collapse )
thanks for the photos daveee.
the end.

friday night playing with the lucksmiths goes onto my list of best nights ever ever as i got to test my 'drinking and becoming quite drunk whilst still having the ability to play the guitar' limit and i think it went pretty well!

| alright, this one's a cracker; |

isn't it funny how things come in huge spurts of really great stuff and then really bad stuff? well being the quick minded sort that i am, i came to understand this a long time ago, hence why when a month or so ago when everything was coming up sam, a small part of me was expecting (preparing even, if you will) for everything to turn to shit eventually.
now the thing is that i have managed to maintain a lot of the good stuff that has happened in my life, the only thing is that with the small amount of bad things (which are actually quite significant) they cancel each other out, leaving me to feel the extremes of either amazing or horrible, depending on which of the following situations are happening at the time.
good stuff; (stuff that is making me happy!!)
//institut polaire!! this is pretty much the most important thing to me at the moment, other than of course..
//my girlfriends that are always there for me, no matter what or when!
//my job, because it keeps me busy and takes my mind off other things and gives me money!
//tim rogers! my hero, for miraculously showing up on the worst day of my life ("like an angel", said k.a.), high-fiving me and giving me some faith!
bad stuff; (things that make me not so happy)
//yes, craig and i broke up. yes, it is complicated and horrible. and i feel lost and empty and like i've lost my best friend and all that other stuff i know people know about because they've been through it before. to have had someone so close to you for such a long time and then to suddenly not have anymore is definately hard. and no, this isn't an announcement, it's just my journal entry.
// rumours, rumours, rumours; people talking about things that they have no right to, or don't know anything about. gossip can be fun until it starts ruining someone's life! MIND YER OWN BUSINESSESSS. please!!
//my car that always breaks down. no matter what.

i feel like i don't update this thing enough, and then when i do i have too much to say and i really can't be bothered explaining everything!!
so here are the most significant things;
cd shop in the city closed down, transferred to the new wesley music in midland as the assistant manager, hated it, thought about quitting, getting accepted into the music course and finding a part-time job.
got accepted into tafe, enrolled, was then offered an opportunity in a new job which was very appealing, withdrew tafe enrollment, quit job at wesleys.
started at 78 records on monday, which was also my birthday, celebrated with friends who were awesome and lovely and thoughtful as usual, celebrated with family and craig which was entertaining as usual.
first show with IP coming up, nervous, scared, excited, feeling pretty good about life!

well so far this year has been very eventful in the way which means good things have happened and it is all very exciting!
firstly i saw the shins and spent a few glorious days in the sun with favourite girls, making the beginning of the year better than it possibly could have been any other way.
secondly i joined a band called institut polaire which is awesome because they are awesome which excites me the most because i feel like i have achieved one of my dreams in life already and it sure does feel nice. but it also makes me nervous.
thirdly i was offered a promotion in my job to become the second in charge at our brand new record store, although i will probably not take it on anyway because...
finally, i will (hopefully) be accepted into this music industry course which i will find out about on the sixteenth of this month, turning my working life into only part time and giving me something more creative to do within my year.
oh yeah and also tonight i am going to see joe bludge. i love that dude, hey!

ATTN JESS HORROCKS:
you bring the boombox and i will bring the beach boys records. and then we can all hang at the beach listening to them and dancing 60's stylez/

last night we celebrated christmas the polka dot com way with the compulsory dressing in polkadots and the christmas crackers, fruit mince pies and present X-CHANGE. we drew names from a hat and one by one traded gifts and it was so nice and exciting and i felt like a small child on christmas eve and every present that i opened filled my heart with warmth because it meant so much and it was so thoughtful and i remembered for the 346th day this year that i have the best friends in the world and i could never hope for any better because this is where it CAN'T GET any better.

wow, well i really have abandoned you, lifejournal, i'm sorry.
golby just blocked me on msn because i won't go to his and joe snow's birthday party. it's not my fault that i don't like going to mcdonalds and doing the freezer tour anymore. happy meals are for small children, you dorks.
in other news, i'm looking forward to my holidays in january SO MUCH!! seeing the shins down south with my best friends will be so amazing. we will act like rockstars in our five star hotel. there will be televisions in swimming pools and stolen bathrobes at the very least!

| this whole day threw up some tickets; none i'd ever choose |
[13 Oct 2005|08:55pm] |
apart from my car breaking down and having to wait for an hour by myself at 1am in joondalup, having to then pay $200 to get it fixed, having my phone and wallet (on the only day i have lots of cash in it) stolen and then my cat requiring an 'urgent' operation which set me back $500 on it's own... i'm pretty sure the rest of this month is going to be really sweet!

"man, don't those noobs realise? being a pretentious indie fag is SO 1999" - hoochie mumma (an anonymous friend!)
our picnic on the public holiday was sweet, i really want to do more stuff like that all of this summer. it was really effortless and i felt like i was doing something constructive with my day off by spending it with close friends. i'm pretty sure i want to do that all of the time!! especially the bbq part!
my brother wants me to take him to see eleventh at hq this weekend but i don't know if i will. is anybody else going? i haven't been to hq since pop bands stopped playing there. that was a long time ago! i think i was in lower hike skool and i'm pretty sure it was the nordeens and grand central. i feel a bit intimidated by a show called 'hardcore vs emocore' but we'll see. if you dudes see my little brother hanging out, then be nice to him. he is impressionable!
that is all!

one of the best moments in a song is still at about 2.30 minutes in 'a line in the sand' by q and not u. i think.
so anyway my cousin asked me if he could borrow my guitar for some battle of the bands thing in kalamunda or something over the weekend, after much hesitation and a lot of convincing on his behalf i agree. i then get it back today with a broken pickup, a huge chunk out of the fret board and lacking two strings. YAY. what a piss off!

well this week was a pretty lame week in general. work was stressing me out to the max and i wasn't enjoying it at all!
last night i went with apple to the hydey for drinks which started off way fun! and then we headed to amps which should have been more fun than it was, but i was really drunk and in a bad mood. but then i met david lane!! and tried not to talk to him about you am i! so i spoke to him about the rolling stones and the who instead! and yeah, that was pretty sweet.
i seriously can't beleive that the weekend is over and i have to go back to work tomorrow. this makes me not very happy. blah blah blah the end!
