HOW IT ALL STARTED

a couple of years ago i decided that it was time for a change of scene, so i went up to hawkes bay for a while. it was nice, though i wasn't in the best mental and emotional state. despite that fact it was good to get away. after about 6 weeks i realised that i didn't have to prove my independence and strength to anyone, and i decided to go back to christchurch and accept support from my friends.
which worked out rather well really, and i had the good fortune to be introduced to a friend's new shag. i liked him immediately, and we struck up a friendship quite quickly. it soon became a friendship that was very important to me, he was someone who shared a lot of my oddball interests (frogs.. ahem) and what's more... got my jokes! that, dear readers, doesn't happen often. we spent many an hour talking books, art, zoology, and watching the freaks and weirdos from our glass box while drinking too much coffee (him latte, me flat white). much laughter, much madness. and a lot of very much appreciated support and love.
after an incident involving pHector the Dog, i came to the pleasant realisation that i was likely to be friends with this boy for a long time.
happy birthday jeff, i love you.

THE EXPLANATION

"my mind kept wondering....you came in after a good night out,used it for support and the thing broke off............a giant rodent chewed its way through the pipe and the thing toppled,you upset your resident little people and this is their revenge (in which case you must leave out a saucer of milk or spirits as apology)......"

AA

time to re-adjust to a sibling back in town.
sick, tail between legs, looking for help.
needing it badly, and finally admitting to it.
isn't that step 1...?
gotta be the supportive little sis for a bit.
not sure if i'm up to it. i'll give it a shot though.
sometimes you need to get over your bitterness to help someone out, right?
*big sigh*

sunrise at okains bay. favourite family summer spot. mmm. idyllic. 

OOOOOUUUUCCCCHHH!

oh lordy, this RSI business is a real downer.
fuck it hurts.
am also generally wallowing in the throws of pretty severe depression, hence the lack of postage.
maybe i'll get back to it some day soon.
i hope so.
take care of yourselves... and i hope you all have lots to smile about. feel free to send smiles my way, any would be appreciated.

BOOK-BURBLING

i got into it a while back, and kinda forgot about it for quite some time... and have recently rediscovered it. tres coolio!
so here's my little plug: go have a look! join up! register books! release them! do your bit for the state of the fucking world!
on another bookish note, i've just started on some rather intense-deep-meaningful-relationshippy-book... eeek! i'm a little scared and i've only read the intro. wish me luck...
and my 3rd booky bit of posting: mother dearest gave me a book for christmas... "morality for beautiful girls"
