Confession: I'm kinda looking forward to moving back to my Mum's place.
The rent will be cheap and the space I'll be occupying is bigger than the entire apartment I'm in right now. I'll have tasty and nutritious meals prepared for me every evening. I'm hoping to use the time I'm there to acquire things I've never felt the desire to own before, like a... Read More
I have a real grown up job and I like it. I have a relationship that I'm building, and whilst we never know how these things turn out, I'm trying to resist the urge to chuck it in just because I feel scared or frustrated or *egads* too intimate or loved. And I'm also at my Mum's and I've saved $6000 and have got a new macbook in the works through salary sacrificing at work and I like all these things.
There is great freedom in self responsibility, and if being at your Mum's will give you that grounding for you to move to the next thing, then it's all good.
I want these things so I can comfortably outfit a place for myself and I've never really had the urge to 'nest' before. I've always just been happy to exist how and where I can, making do with or without whatever circumstances provide or take away as life unfolds. I've never wanted to have things before.
I really feel you on this para especially, because I've spent the last 18 months getting rid of things, and trying to resist roots or responsibility or future plans. But I think I've grown up in the last little while and I'm beginning to see how my decisions and how I structure my life in order to achieve my own version of freedom is up to me.
he looks kinda like Dr Hannibal Lecter straped to that trolley, which lends to the scary, if he was in a cage I doubt that I would tease or poke him with a stick haha
That's not so bad. It's probably much more rational insight into the characters actually. My first thought was "Oh that's nice, they let him keep his suit on. I'd have thought they'd make him change into one of those bright orange uniforms that asylum inmates usually wear. It's a nice suit..."
It *is* windows 7, in fact, it's a verson slightly newer than the 7000 beta! Go team! Very nice by the way, works perfectly so far and is veerrry quick.

Dear Prime Minister
I write to you about the utmost urgency of protecting children from pedophilia and other deviant acts. As your Ministers (particularly Senator Conroy) have repeatedly told the media, somebody needs to think of the children.
I take this opportunity to ask you to... Read More
I've realised that, like everyone else's, the only constant in my life has been constant change. But, unlike others, when change happens, I embrace it.
Even when the change isn't for the better, there's always a part of me that's thrilled by it.
And I've noticed recently that in stable times, when there's no change happening TO me, I... Read More
In this post: 'Rook makes a confession in order to fuel a rant.'
I spent most of Monday sitting in Brisbane Magistrates Court. My matter was dealt with in seconds but in the time I waited I saw a few examples of how much our legal system is fucked, and by 'fucked' I mean so bound up in useless bureaucracy and formality that it no... Read More
This is sound of me eating a pie made of humble crows.
My last blog post (and announcement) were knee-jerk reactions to a very large surprise which, unfairly, seemed to imply blame for that surprise upon Ponderch3rry.
In fact the situation I was reacting so poorly to came about through no wrong-doing on Ponderch3rry's part. If any blame could be... Read More
You are silly. I thought it was strange that you were on the committee, but hey, you're an odd one anyway. You know I'm having folk around on New Year's Day, right? Well, we are. So if you are lazing around and feel like watching stuff in air con with folks and a darling black cat and sitting in a blow-up pool, come round.
