- I am trying to pack up my life into as small a space as possible. This involves scrutiny of long term goals and achievements. Somehow, streamlining my life by culling the junk requires foresight, imagination and assessment with hard core consideration. It hurts, oh it hurts.
- My mother, whom I have not seen since September 2005, will be landing on my soil of residence for the first time. She is crazy and old and terrifying. I have never had to invite her over for dinner, or fear her impulsive visit, or keep in intimate contact for six long years. And now I am inviting her to stay. This means sharing the bed, sharing the conversation and sharing the frustration, for three weeks. Sheesh.
- I am going travelling and everytime I think of having to organise the itinery or pack my bag, I wonder why anyone every thought this was a fun thing to do.
- I find out my results on Thursday. Please let me have learned something.
- I had to work hideous long days at work this weekend and I have not worked a long day or even more than three days in a row for ages. Study days of 12-14 hours is different from standing on your feet all day and wiping tables, preparing food and trying not to yell at Kylie. And significantly different from having to deal with those bastions of evil: CUSTOMERS.
- Organising forms and having to hand them for any reason is always a little stress inducing. I guess its the organising thing altogether. My reason for special stress is that they are forms for Centrelink. mmmm yes. So the potential that I might be and my forms might be considered less than acceptable in contemporary Australian society is highly likely and quite expected.
- I am selling some stuff on eBay and although I knew it would come to me having to organise stuff to do with packing and postage and a trip to the post office, I am now complaining about it. However, this eBay thing is still good. I got stacks more money than I would have if I had of sold my books at a second hand bookshop. These were my essential keepers though - those books I thought I could not live without. They should be valuable dammit! The other part of the eBay saga is the inability of eBay to inform anyone that linking photos from Yahoo photos won't work. HOwever, they will work initially so you think they are alright and its not until they are selling for a few days and actually bid on that you realise and by that time it is too late to change the listing and so eBay thinks you can go to HELL cos their idea of customer care is to only allow emails and have everyone look at your issue and tell you that your links are invalid and then say thanks for using eBay without offering any actual advice. Anyway, I have nothing bad to say about eBay at all cos it is my fault as well and now I have learned something. Not that I will probably need this knowledge again.
Sexpo was OK. I went with Spesh and Alfio and saw some haggard strippers and a very plastic, athletic, pole dancing squad. I got gel insoles for my shoes and although my feet hurt from working like a dog all weekend, they did not swell and stop me from walking properly which is the usual case. I saw a dick tricks performance which was not at all funny and I wasn't the one bending my penis around my wrist. Actually it pained me, for many reasons. I met a girl who worked at a stand and immediately had a crush on her. I also got a new toy. Sex toys are ok, but I am not as enthused as some of my toy owning friends. The one I got at Sexpo behaves like some kind of sci-fi pleasure machine. The mechanical nature of it makes me screw my face up in mirth.
Incidentally I was watching 60 minutes last night for the first time in years. I did not watch all of it, but it was the most bizzarre piece of television I have ever seen in my life. Liam Bartlett used to work for GWN, a local TV network in Bunbury. He now looks like he has had a million facelifts. Anyway, that is not the reason why it was wierd. Now I cannot remember why it was wierd. That is probably because I ate a chocolate crackle after dinner last night. Oh well.
Anyway, back to my organising life and its pressures and stresses. I said last night that all these little stresses are getting to me more than when I was going through exams. Firstly, this seems never ending - there is no exam over that gives you relief. Secondly, you cannot focus hard core on these things and there is no going in when you are organising travelling. Unfortunately social activities require socialising. And on top of that is watching the Grand Plan in action and unfolding before my eyes. I said this would happen and it now is. I am leaving Melbourne and returning to WA. wow.
Lastly, here is an interesting blog and now that I have found it, I will have to download the podcasts. The Post-Modern Geek's Guide to Sex
Here also is some interesting porn I found. Veg Porn: titillating tofu eaters. Nice.
And here is two vibrator pics, just cos I can. Please note marketing strategies in image and product creation. What kind of associations are these products making you create?
