It’s getting chilly! I wore my boots out for the first time since buying them. I had leg warmers on underneath to keep my legs nice and toasty. Buying those leg warmers wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Next week I am going to hang out in Perth for a few days with my aunty so I mustn’t spend any money this weekend so I can buy a few things whilst I am in the city.
I am loving my red hair. It looks great when I have blush on my cheeks. I think I will stick with red hair all winter. It’s so cheery! maybe next time i will go for a more coppery red, rather than flame red?
As I was saying I wore my boots for the first time today with a knee length wrap dress and a black oversized cardie. I need to find a fitted thicker cardi before it gets really cold. I have a couple of dresses that need taking up only about 3 inches or more, I wish I had a sewing machine so I could do it myself. Once they are taken up I can wear them with my boots and still have a bit of leg showing, I look fat if I have no skin showing between the boots and the dress, I think most people would.
I think I will get the alterations done when I am in perth next week because I don’t want to pay heaps just because I don’t live in the city but then that’s 2 more items of clothing I need to take with me that I wont be wearing...... maybe I will do it another time?

1:28 pm - theres something about you that i wanna know...
|
One of my biggest pet hates in magazines is when they do “body shape specials” and tell people who are tall, short, curvy, petite or boyish what best to wear to flatter their figure but what I ask of the people like me who fit into none of the above categories? What am I to do? I certainly cant wear just any old thing because it wont suit my ‘nothing’ body type.
Maybe its not that I don’t fit into any of the categories but that I am fairly tall yet short at the same time, I am boyish yet curvy and yes petite but still have relatively broad shoulders.
Maybe I am average but what do average people wear when they want to be anything but average?
Another thing that puts me in tears. Ladies sizing. Why oh why have they not introduced standardised sizing across the board?
I am very certain that everything is getting smaller. There was a time in high school when I was at my thinnest were I had no idea there was such a thing as a size 6 and now I weigh 5 kilos more than I did back then and yet I am a size 6. I never thought I would even fit into an 8 a few years ago but now I when trying on clothes I grab a 10, 8 and a 6 because I really have no idea what size I am.

5:40 pm - he's so fine!
|
Last night there was a fabulous film on sbs, it was called Stranded. I really enjoyed, it was very Australian. Whoever cast it did a great job, Emma Lung and Emily Browning were very convincing as sisters. Not just because they look alike with their wide eyes and full lips but they interacted well with each other. David Hoflin was in it too. I have had a crush on him since I first saw Ocean girl, I lusted after him in Head Start and I even watched an entire episode of McLeod’s daughters when he was on it briefly.
Obessed much? Nah but I did just google him and its his birthday tomorrow only a few days before mine ooooooooo see we are meant to be together. Well maybe not. it seems that whenever I write an entry here I feel like a hormonal teen again.
current mood:  cheerful

On Saturday I was talking to the strata title lady Monice who runs our whole complex. She an awesome old woman, she really wants me to do nursing and you know what? She has almost convinced me.
We talked for over an hour about all the possibilities I would have if I did it, I am very seriously considering it. Maybe I will do the state nursing thing through tafe then go on to Uni.
Anyway the thing that baffled me the most is she out of nowhere asked if I had a boyfriend. So naturally I blushed and asked if she had been talking to my grandmother? No, she heard from Irma, moncie’s next-door neighbour that I have been seeing someone. This baffles me, we have boys coming and going at all times of the day and night I could be running a brothel with the number of men that walk through our door in a week when my brother is around.
How did Irma figure out that I am dating someone?
He hasn’t even spent the night so...... it can’t be that obvious? Can it?

I got my hair cut today. I haven’t had it professionally cut for almost 2 years. It was quick and pain free. 3 inches of horrible dead ends off.
The hairdresser was mortified that it had been so long since I visited and made many comments on its bad condition. The bitch, I am yet to decided if I will go back as it is a good cut and only took 15 minutes but she didn’t need to be so nasty about it, most people compliment me on my hair.

I saw someone today that I haven’t seen in years. 2 years to be exact. 2 years ago I when I lived in another city with another job, I was a receptionist at a Doctors surgery.
The woman is completely unforgettable, so beautiful I am sure I have never seen anyone as gorgeous as her. She and her baby son were patients I remember the day they first came in to sign up. I remember the little boy crying when he had his immunisations, all the ear infections, I remember the woman coming in after being bashed by her partner and the court case that followed, I remember the DNA tests to find out who the father of the boy was. We have shared a lot without ever being friends.
The woman has beautiful waist length, straight blonde hair, wide set blue eyes and a heart shaped face.
I saw her in Perth at a generic take away food place, she recognised me instantly, her little baby is now a boy of about 3 or 4, he talking and walking.
We had a very short chat, I never know what to do when I see people and I know everything about them, because I remember everything about them, not because I want to but because I just do.
Sometime I hate having such a good memory and not being able to put it to good use. Why can’t I remember my times tables? The largest planet in the solar system? My ATM pin number?

2:48 pm - swim swim
|
|
I went swimming at the beach this morning as summer has only just arrived here in Perth. No wonder eastern states people say we are behind in just about everything! It’s true.
I miss swimming with my dog. A few years ago before I moved here I had a beautiful golden retriever X, he was such a lovely dog but I had to give him away because I couldn’t live here with a “big” dog. They are against strata rules. I found him a wonderful family to live with, but I miss him everyday. I can’t bring myself to visit him because I know I will cry.
He was great at the beach he would swim right next to me, he could be trust to sit by my towel and stuff and not wonder off and if by chance he saw another dog he was always well mannered and submissive. Everyone loved him.
I cant take my brothers little dog to the beach, he is aggressive and would run off and never come back. Besides a jack Russel would probably tire a lot quicker that my dog.
Still the beach was nice mostly populated with wrinkled old people who were obviously holidaying and young families teaching their children how to use a boogie board.
I think I might go for another swim this afternoon. It was that good, if only I had someone to come with me.
For some reason I feel like I have written an entry very similar to this one?

4:28 pm - late night texters make me mad!
|
One thing I hate more than anything is getting text messages in the middle of the night, being a fairly light sleeper it wakes me up and in my sleepy state I usually read the message, then end up waking up all during the night thinking about what my reply is going to be.
my best buddy asked me to broome for a few weeks (via a midnight text). If I had the money I would go but I want to move soon so I can’t justify spending all that money to go to a place I am sure to hate. I never got used to the weather in North Queensland so I am sure to wilt in the broome weather. I am like a delicate flower in the heat.
Besides it’s a party town and I don’t feel like partying. I think I have done some damage to my liver or kidney after new years, no need to do anymore. Right?
I really need to get out more. I have spent the last few days watching DVDs, twin peaks (season 1), Little Brittain, Black Books (complete box set), Closer, Breakfast at Tiffany's and We can be Hero's. My video collection is gathering dust. I love DVDs I am such a nerd my brother tells me only retards like myself watch the special features?
What’s wrong with that?
I am not one to make New Years resolutions but I want to buy more cds, dvd and books this year and less clothes and beauty products.
current mood: happy happy joy joy

My best friend decided to desert me for new years choosing instead to make a trip to Melbourne for a few days to sort herself out. What does she want to do? Stay in freo? Get back together with the gnome? Go to broome? Be a bum?
I have tried ever so hard to organise something to do for new years, calling friends and people who aren’t even my friends to see if I can tag along with them.
But I have instead decided to work. Yes you hear my I am WORKING on new years!! I don’t have all the details yet, but it’s at a beach party thing in a club, about an hour from here, uniform and accommodation provided. I have to be happy perky and flirty. GaH!!!!! I can’t think of anything worse than working on new years I’d rather go to bed early but I need the money and I managed to talk them into giving me a room free of charge!!! Yay!! And whos says flirting over the phone won’t get you what you want?!?!

Xmas was great this year. No fights, nothing. Just a harmonious dinner with tonnes of turkey! Yum!
It’s the first time I ever cooked a Christmas dinner mostly by myself, it was only for 4 people I cant imagine trying to cook for more than that! I was worried I had cooked too much at one stage but I got it right.
Lots of sexual innuendo at the dinner table. Me to my brother “hey would you like to pop my cracker?” ash smiling cheekily “certainly!” Nan didn’t get it.
Sometimes I love my brothers they are great. The stupid things they do never fail to make me giggle uncontrollably.

I bought myself a pair of really hideous tracksuit pants, the only thing saving them from being vomit inducing pants is the fact that they are bonds, have pockets and actually fit me well. It’s my second pair of trackie pants for this year, the other pair also bonds are too big despite being a size smaller than my new ones.
Come on bonds get your sizing right please!!!
What makes them so hideous is the elastic stuff around the ankles and tapered legs. How can tapered skinny leg jeans look so hot on me yet these trackie pants make me look like a bad 80’s throwback? At least they fit me well; the other pair sat really funny on my butt and made me look like I am wearing a nappy.
We got a new vacuum cleaner the other day because I blew up the other one. The second in 18 months that has blown up. Our new one is great, it actually sucks up stuff!! The floors have never been cleaner; my only complaint is how sore the muscles in my back are the next day. I keep telling myself since I don’t do any exercises to specifically target my back muscles that vacuuming is now a workout.
It’s amazing what a new vacuum can do, the floors are clean and my back is going to look so nice and taut after a few weeks of vacuuming like crazy. Oh happy times!!

I have the flu.
The day mum left (Wednesday) I got a sore throat and by my bedtime I was all blocked up and coughing.
It came on so suddenly I was not expecting to get sick my doctor told me my immune system would be a bit shit after having mono, but no shit I have been feeling so good!
Tessa is staying here, she broke up with her boyfriend, and I am pleased that she isn’t with him anymore but she left him in such a bad position.
He sold his car so he doesn’t have one anymore, and has to get out of their house by the end of next week, he has no money (even though he was being an very naughty boy and getting Centrelink AND cash in hand from work). So he has no where to live, no way to get around and possibly worst of all no one to spend Christmas with.
I have now gone from absolutely hating this guy to feeling so sorry for him.
Tess knows nothing about timing.
Not much is going on here. I am doing sweet fuck all. I have no job, I am not studying I really am doing nothing. I wish I were working though. I hate this some days having nothing to do but sit around the house watching TV and worrying about getting fat from all the sitting and eating I am doing.
It gets stressful.
current mood:  snotty

It’s so cold here, I have to take a cardigan or jumper with me wherever I go because the weather keeps changing. I wish it were a little warmer, maybe 26 degrees. None of this 21 overcast and possible showers.
Where is summer!!!!
At this rate my birthday is gonna be so hot! Which maybe isn’t a bad thing but holy hell I hope it's hot on new years eve I don’t want to be freezing my butt off.

Hmmm after rejoicing over having finally growing my fringe out I am now very envious of anyone who has a nice fringe. Damn Chan Marshall and her so cool fringe and that chick errrr I forget her name. She was in party of five, now she has a new show on telly. You know who she is don’t pretend you don’t, I think she may even try and sing a bit too.
I want my fringe back!!
it took ages to grow it out. I actually had to go out of my way to lose/hide the haircutting scissors so I wouldn’t be tempted to cut it when I was bored (which happens often) now I cant find the scissors anywhere!!! Maybe someone found them in my hidey spot and stole them!
Still I can’t remember where I hid them sooooooo........ Maybe I will find them someday.
Also since growing out my fringe people are asking me about the scar I have on my forehead, I love coming up with completely bullshit reasons for how I got it.
So far my favourite is Harry potter related cos you know Harry has a demented Z scar on his forehead and mine is so a demented Y shape. We are so cousins or something!!!! Yessssss. I am the best witch in the WORLD!!!!!!!
The other night eating Chinese food with people I consider like family and George my pseudo brother says to me “have you ever tried deep fried ice-cream?”
Me “do I LOOK like I ever eaten deep fried ice-cream?”
The whole table starts laughing at me cos I don’t.

So it’s holiday time as of today for me. My brother has gone away to work, I am not sure when he is coming back but since he left yesterday morning our place has gotten very messy and I can’t blame him for the mess. Uh oh it’s all MY fault!
I have decided to start taking the first steps towards moving. Which I figured is packing up all the stuff I wont need or use. It may be premature but this way all my junk will be out of the way and I will be able to move quicker if half of it is already packed.
Also I have been searching on the net for places to rent. I have decided that I will live alone, but all the unit/apartments I have seen are fully furnished which does not suit me at all. Fuck! I have furniture that needs a place to live preferably with me!
I need to talk to dad about the possibility of him giving me the very nice couch that has been living in his shed for the past 3 months and the desk/table he was going to give to me until I told him we didn’t have room here.
Anyway I seem to have gotten sidetracked as I was saying I have been packing and came across a case of old clothes that my mother and grandmother has kept aside for yours truly in the hope that I might find them of some use when older. When I was a young teen (13-15) I would wear some of them around the house but I thought most of them were horrible.
Now however I think they are very spiffy. My fave is a sundress from the 70’s so very cool, it’s hard to believe my mother fit into it (that’s such a bitchy comment but she is so motherly and this dress is clearly made for someone with a body like mine).
Anyway I tried it on loved it, then put in the wash straight away so I can wear is tomorrow. Yay!
There’s is heaps of other stuff in there like
Black sequined caplet, that’s got a matching dress to go with it. Also with sequins – I will wear the caplet, but the dress makes me look like a black wedding cake. If it were shorter I might wear it.
Pink-cropped weird coat thing, which looks like something a Spanish bull fighter person, would wear except its pink. I can totally see myself wearing this with a scarf, nerd glasses with my hair up in winter.
Black velvet vest – so cute
Red velvet wrap around shirt – I think I would need boobs to wear this I might give it a miss
A dress, which looks like a choir girl/boy smock – maybe I will keep it for next Halloween?
and another fave is a cropped jacket that is so bad 80's lumberjack ugly that it is cool. half itchy plaid half sheep skin. so verrrrry ugly, can't wait to wear it.
Ummm that’s all I remember but boy oh boy! I am excited!
Its so much better than op shopping because the clothes were kept because they obviously had some sort of sentimental value and now they are MINE!!!
current mood: cheerful

12:25 pm - I'm so vain
|
I am really happy. The reason is totally vacuous but I am a very shallow person so bear with me. My fringe is officially grown out!!
Yes you heard me it is now part of the rest of my hair. So I can tuck it behind my ears.
I never realised that life without a fringe is so much easier!
current mood: super happpy!

I am taking to first step in the huge debacle that is Christmas shopping by compiling list of possible gifts for family, where to find them and how much I want to spend on said items.
It’s a very long list.
All I really want for Christmas is book vouchers so I can get lots of books, I have a whole list of things I sort of need/want but I would be so happy with book vouchers from everyone or myer gift vouchers. That would rule! I hate getting presents that I won’t use.

1:44 pm - nana!!!
|
My grandmother has been here for the past few days. I wish she could have stayed a bit longer. Yesterday afternoon she went to stay with my great Aunty Bob at her holiday home a couple of suburbs away.
I love fussing over my Nan, making her cups of tea, asking if she slept well in the bed, making her lunch and dinner.
I took her to the Doctor on Friday to get some stiches taken out (she had a cancer spot cut out a fortnight ago) she loves my Doctor. He made a fuss of her as well, he never fusses over me so I am a little jealous.
Top 5 things I need to do very soon
1. start and finish christmas shopping
2. sell my car
3. find nice boy to date
4. move to the city
5. maybe get a kitten/cat
Nan told me an ex of mine who I really um.... liked.... has moved from the country to the city for the sake of his current girlfriend. I am kinda shitty. He wouldn’t move for me, so I broke up with him.
I wish Nan hadn’t told me now all I think about is the boy.
I am completely crushed.
current mood:  crushed
