Michelle's Things

Sunday, January 30, 2005

Yes, its been two days since, myself and my boyfriend were supposedly meant to go mountain climbing, he forgot, so the mini break was cancelled. I have been feeling sad and depressed about it, he took me to the beach for a couple of hours instead which wasn't too good, it was windy as hell and the waves and undercurrent was shitty. So after having sand embedded in my skin by the strong winds, we finally went home.
I am still depressed about it two days later, ergh. How could he forget, we'd been talking about it all week, bar two days prior.

Hello everything, thanks for the comment jn.wm, you took me aback I didn't think anyone actually knew of my blog, I have kept it quiet from everyone I know.
Gee I am feeling hung over, big day of drinking cointreau and o.j. all day in a paddle pool to celebrate Australia Day yesterday. Sore neck and splinters in my feet and hands from playing volleyball on the front lawn, at the time I didn't feel a thing due to the high levels of alcohol accumulating through my bloodstream. Today though it is all very real and I have been removing splinters with a stitching needle, shit it hurts doing that. Had to be done, so now my feet and hands can heal up properly. Tonight I have dinner with my night filler co-workers as a late christmas get together, as we were too busy over christmas to gather everyone together. Gee I don't know how I am going to cope, feeling the way I feel, I plan to eat my meal, probably touch no alcohol, and go home for a well earned night of sleep.

yes this is lightning strike at Cottesloe beach in Perth, Western Australia during the wild spring storms that Perth is renowned for at the change of seasons. Posted by Hello
Ah the angel sounds of Jeff Buckley, Triple J just played a J file of his interview, when he came to Australia. Australia day tomorrow and I havn't really prepared myself. Better run.
Love Michelle

Ergh, am feeling tired and hot. Have found out that I still havn't been posted my current drivers license, the licensing department stuffed up my change of address details. A typing error!
My boyfriend thinks I am mental, after my weekend of up and down mood swings and to top it off one of my friends who is in hospital for a mental illness, rang up and was really lashing out, it was hurtful, sad and difficult, you don't know what to say or do. Then my boyfriend who is timid at the best of times, didn't come over to offer support. Sheeesh this is really getting me down.

It is warm today, my legs are sore from playing hockey on Wednesday night, after not doing any exercise for 2 months and I had to get up early today so I could beat the masses to get my uni booklist purchased. My car is on the brink of self destruction as my radiator is stuffed, have oil leaks from sump and rocker cover and the oil cap itself, it was broken into and is now missing driver side lock, passenger interior door cover and steering column cover, not to mention ignition barrel is exposed. Passenger window is rooted, and rusted so is permanently wound up, have no airconditioning, so its very hot in summer. Oh bloody hell. The paint job is coming off, because the guy who painted it a couple of years ago, isn't an actual panel beater I found out the other day, so thats another $700 down the drain. Shit. To top it off, boyfriends phone is still engaged and I can't get through to tell him my car is stuffed so I can't make it to his house to then go to a 60th birthday party. Owh. I am also too stupid to be attending university and the uni knows this and is enjoying making money from my stupidity, YAY.

Well, I awoke at 6am to what I thought was an overcast morning, when my nostrils filled with the stench of bushfire smoke, it was a little overwhelming. Fires have been raging over Perth hills bushland for a week now, but last night the worst one broke out, it is still noticeable the entire city is shrouded in this huge smokey veil, its thick, the thickest I have seen, since I have been living in Perth, ash is slowly drifting from the sky and settling on everything.
On another note, I would like to mention my favourite blog, which I read fairly regularly, is Phil's blog, named Ptrinh.blogspot.com. Its very interesting, this guy knows his math, and is very skilled at this craft. A recommended read for any blog lovers.
I have been doing nothing more than going to work at night to do my night fill and spending days doing not much, though have been trying to get my garden in better shape, when I have spare money and time.
The start of uni is fast approaching, and causing me some personal anguish, as I am having career reconsiderations and will possibly need to repeat year 12 high school to enter the degree which I feel I have my heart set on. I tell no one, what it is I want to study as when I dropped out of Nursing everyone treated me like a moron. Which was completely uncalled for, because why should I bother studying something which I did not like, and I knew I was only going to half arse the entire course, I couldn't even get along with all the girls I was this outsider, farm girl who apparently didn't fit in, because I didn't act girly/feminine. So the horse riding farm girl, quit and headed to a different town to be a veterinary nurse.
Sorry I am diverging badly. I guess I needed to get that off my chest, I guess the other thing I want to get off my chest, while I'm on a roll, is the real reason I completely screwed my year eleven and twelve high school years.
At the beginning of year 11, something did happen to me at school which I prefer not to write out, it was scarey and shaking, and left me really wanting to curl up in a hole for the rest of my life. Needless to say, I continued to have no friends, and from that year on I had no ambition to do well at school, because school now became the place I dreaded on a daily basis. I tried to smother it in my mind. Finally getting out of that FUCKING HELL HOLE at the end of 1994.
Ok, so now I sit here and decide wether to carry on with what seems to be a beat around the bush degree, with no real employment prospects or I repeat high school and return to a challenging degree, which I had my heart set on before I got mind screwed in year 11 and screwed up my educational prospects.
So you see my reasons for not telling anyone what I want to study, as I have good reason, besides no one should have to have reason to reveal things at all, its your life rule and reveal at your discression!!!!
Over and out.
Michelle

I may want this picture under my profile. Go on laugh, my face looks funny because I have just been out shovelling thick black dirt from under the crusher in 45 degree Celsius heat, the dirt is not around my eyes, because my safety glasses and hard hat prevented dirt from reaching those places. Posted by Hello

Hello everyone, sorry its been a while, what sad news about the tsunami, strange thing was on Christmas day at my boyfriends family christmas. I was asking his sister a few questions about the earth, because she is a geologist, so we happen to discuss mountain ranges, earthquakes etc. Then whammo next day first thing we hear is the tsunami disasters.
Very sad, and possibly a very dreadful thing to experience for anyone.
Other than get a job doing night fill, I got rather blindly intoxicated on new years eve and ran around the backyard with sparklers, almost setting the house on fire. Now five days later am feeling better and sweating the toxins out by mowing the lawn and cleaning the spa and Perths sweltering summer days are helping things along.
I filled in an ABC 720 Perth radio survey, and told them I had issues with the local council watering the bitumen and wasn't sure if council people knew that bitumen doesn't replicate with water. As I know that no one actually reads my blog, I can pretty much write anything yee HAA. The fact I havn't told anyone about my blog, has nothing to do with it.
Besides I look at it as my own private diary, its much easier than writing in a book and doesn't waste paper, which saves trees, so everyone wins.
Ok HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
