You're the only one, Live journal. The only one.
Today was raining from early in the morning. Late in the night, last night, actually. And sweet and cool for sleeping. I had my window open but I always have the window over my head open even in July. But MIKEY had his window open over his head. This is a rarity. He won't sleep with his window open for fear somebody will reach in with their arm and touch him. I slept a little late for work but I still dragged all the potted palms out into the yard to get the nitrogen rich rain falling down into their soil and sweet on their skin leaves.
I couldn't find an umbrella so I changed into a singlet and the rain was sweet on my skin. My hair went curly. On my way to work a car lost control in the wet and spun around two or three times ended up facing the wrong way she took a drag of her smoke and didn't even flinch just turned it back around and went on her way lucky there was a break in the traffic.
When I got home the lady over the road called out we were to have a merry christmas, now. She was moving out this weekend. Oh no! I won't see her baby due on March 2nd. A little girl.
I never get to hold babies near me!
I never go to weddings!
I only go to stupid funerals. I've been to more funerals than you've had hot dinners. This is not cool. This blows. I love weddings more than you do. Ever since I was eighteen years old I only went to one wedding and those freaks made us climb over the barrier at the gap. Who gets married at the gap? You only go to the gap if you want to make a suicide.
Anyway, she's moving out. Back to Nambucca Heads. She said she can't take all of her plants (she's probably going in a car). She's only taking her frangipani - they're precious to everybody. She asked if we could keep her plants, take care of them. Funny, I was going to give her a little geranium cutting for Christmas. And I was going to sew a quilt for her bebe girl.
So I picked out two crystals. One's a clear quartz and one's amethyst. And, if it's alright with you Ondine, I'd like to give her two of my marigolds full of seeds so she can plant them in Nambucca Heads and her and her new daughter can make bracelets together. I'm going to miss her.

hello walls,
It truly is summertime here now. It's high summer.
I eat a mango for dinner. We eat on the back step. The Christmas lights in the trees. We wait for the thunder for the rain, but it just faffs around and there is no relief. I don't mind. It's impossibly warm for the evening. We burn mosquito coils else they eat you alive. I got a parcel from Ondine. She really is beautiful. For Christmas, she gave me a marigold garden. I will plant some here, in Marrickville. And I will keep the rest, for some day ... I like to make bracelets with the flowers, all strung together and smelling herby
Ondine - your letter said the first week of December???
We've adopted Bronte now. We never go to Maroubra any more.
Anyway, I'm thinking of you. I don't get much time on the computer at the moment. Brendan got fired he was stealing from the company. Christine couldn't take it she's had loads of days off. I've been covering, but I wonder why I always end up in these jobs that make you work casual hours but pay lousy permanent part-time wages. Hmm. Maybe I am a sucker. Maybe I just want that house really bad. It's still available. I have one hundred hours in holidays I'm gonna cash 'em all in.
Ok gotta go

Sometimes talking to Mose is the only thing that unlocks all these stories I'm sitting on.
when i met an argentinian or brazilian couple at work
it was this young husband and wife at work
and they were so breathlessly perfect and in love
i could tell from the way he looked and talked about her
he was from santa cruz
but when they came up to the register
oh i should mention she was about five months pregnant
and they talked about how they lived upstate
but they couldn't do it anymore
because she couldn't bear to be away from the ocean
and i remember that feeling so palpably from europe
the absolutely constant notion that i am Far From the Sea
it haunted me everywhere until i left paris
and i just said that i understood
4:09am
Mose
landlock
4:09am
Diana
and he asked if i lived here
i said only for school and that i was leaving in august
i said i had to leave before santa cruz made me soft, had to leave so the real world could rough me up
and i don't know how to say this
he just gave me such a thorough look
he really paid attention to me not as a shopgirl but as a human being that he cared about
he looked at his wife and her pregnant belly and all that it meant
i could see everything he loved and hoped for
and he said that i didn't need to leave santa cruz to get roughed up by life
and that he hoped i would go where i needed to go
and that was it

"Чтобы оставаться на месте, надо бежать.
А чтобы куда-то попасть, надо бежать в два раза быстрее"(c)
У вас бывают сны, когда нужно от кого-то убежать, а на ногах как-будто гири?
Пытаешься сражаться, а руки ватные и не поднимаются?
Когда кричишь изо всех сил, а громкость голоса будто "выкрутили" до нуля.
Просыпаешься и радуешься, что это сон.
А когда такое наяву?
Если бы это творческий кризис, тогда понятное дело, темная полоса или еще что...
А когда рисуешь целыми днями, а часто и до 4х утра? И когда "полоса", вроде, светлая.
Ничего не хочется показывать.
Ничто не кажется настолько важным, чтоб об этом сказать.

I remember when I used to update every single day. Epic.
- Christmas shopping is basically done, just have to get one more part of Dad's gift and pick out Doug's TV (argh).
- I have gone out drinking every weekend for the past month-ish, weird. I've rediscovered gin & tonics, and also most bars/clubs DO have lime cordial to make it a gimlet!
- Re-enrolled for Uni in the nick of time. Most annoyingly, UWA is "phasing out" 12-pt units, so I had to overload on 6-pt units so I can actually finish in 2010. It's crap that I have to spread my attentions over five subjects instead of four, but whatever, I know I can get it done. And I really want to this time, fuck going back to work!! I have to sit my manager down sometime this week and remind her that I'm not going to be available full-time next year. I'm planning on working FT until the last week in January, at which point I will cash in my holiday pay for Sydney, and when I get back I expect to be put back to casual status. If she wants me to work full time hours in February, she can pay me $21/hr.
- So sad that Glee is gone until April! And Skins won't be back until about then, either. Now what will I watch?
Franklin B. Rabbit is at his cuddlyfaced best, even in this heat. Dougless is also super cuddly and loveable as per usual. I'm mega-excited for our trip to Sydney in January, our first holiday together without family cramping our style. Mum bought us tickets to see Wicked while we're there, STOKED!!!
This is a beardog that I saw outside of the Subi markets a couple of weeks back. I want a beardog when I get my own house. Doug says it's fine by him :D There's this little stall (well, table) inside the markets that sells jewellery and accessory things, they have the cutest animal-shaped eco sacs! Yesterday I went to pick up one for my Secret Santa, and got myself some earrings as well - elephants, crowns, and skulls, with little diamonte accents.
I've been doing a lot of Christmas shopping for myself, lol. Sean drove me around today in exchange for sushi lunch. We went up to Whitfords but the thing I wanted was sold out, so we went to Warwick where I found Men in Tights for $9 and the 2-disc extended version of Sex & the City: The Movie for $15. Aaaaand I exchanged a bunch of books at Elizabeth's and got $34 in credit so I used that up yesterday. Then there was the incident at Chic&Chic where I bought three blouses that are identical except for the print. Phew.
Contemplating 1907's New Year's Eve party. I get the feeling it's going to be a letdown, as NYE generally is every year, but as usual no one is having a house party or anything so next best thing is to buy tickets to get in somewhere. I wish it weren't in the city, I'm dreading the taxi chaos already :(
I have to find the motivation to keep cleaning and organising my room. Clothes everywhere, rabbit fur everywhere, books still everywhere. I went and bought 3M hooks today so that I can hang my boards back up but I'm being lazy. I'll blame the heat.

Because I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Because I'm a sheep. Because I'm studying for finals and need distractions.
Ask me anything (sailorv @ formspring)
I'm also making this post open to anonymous comments/confessions. Please don't be a douche; I just need a lil' bit of entertainment so I can more effectively procrastinate.
(Comments are screened too, btw, and I just turned off IP logging.)

On Monday I went to see Chris play another concert for school, this time it was the symphony which I guess does not have wine in a box and crudites...
On Friday Patni had a small Christmas gathering at her house, we decorated the aluminum tree and listened to lots of Lady Gaga. I'm sure I've made it clear before that I Do Not Care For Christmas, but Patni does it right, the fabulous food and fun decor are there but sans the overachieving, overspending and overstressing that everyone seems to succumb to this time of year. She made a very tasty apple crisp and announced that her main baking secret was to replace vanilla with bourbon whenever possible. Genius, clearly.
Holy shit check out those gams
She requested "obscene gingerbread" and of course I had to indulge her...
Today I went to the RISD alumni art sale to buy something I saw in the newspaper became obsessed with. I can't post it though because it is the only Christmas present I bought this year, and I want it to be a surprise. The sale was pretty fun, there was the expected quantity of boring shit and ugly shit, but there was also a lot of ( shit that I like... )

I put a marie antoinette style outfit in the shop - I am so proud of it. I found the blue satin material and it screamed Antoinette & having a dress form makes sewing so much easier!
