Happy Birthday Jane!

Happy Birthday Jane! 50 is a good age to reach, and you don't look a day over 35. But what a fiasco from start to finish.
We booked in a week and a half ago into a Indian restarant called Raju's, and we have dined there before. The food is good but the service can be a little slow. Bearing this in mind, Jane still wanted to eat there. Well, we called on Wednesday to confirm our booking of 12. Well, Sheldon and I got there first, only to find that there was no reservation under Callard, Jane, Gwydion or Dion. No bookings AT ALL! So when more people showed up, we got our table of 12 and worked out someone didn't write down the reservation, or it got chucked out. Whichever works.
Following that, we all placed our orders and waited for it to be cooked. Somewhere, somehow, one drink was forgotten, as was a number of orders. I think, after this mess of events, we might not eat there again anytime soon.
After all that, I think I am going to have a little break from birthdays and celebrations of the like. I need a little quiet time to get a few things in order, how does that sound? I am also going to wait for this present heat wave to disappear before I venture too far out of my house. The only thing I am going out for is a little food when I need it. Until then it is washing, drawing and television. Sound good? Good,
Perry!
As a PS: it would be nice to hear what my followers think, and I promise I will be watching your videos Steve.

At the Theatre

One of the few pleasures I have is going to the theatre to see a wonderful performance. Since, as far as I am concerned, these are few and far between, or I can't afford it. But when a friend has a lead role in a modern and homosexual take of Romeo and Juliet (now Julian) I had to go and see it. My friend, Daryl, had the lead role of Julian, and I promised I would go and see how he went. He confessed to me a long time ago that he was nervous as an actor, so I gave him a little gift to aid him in his confidence building. When he told me he got the role he wanted, that was enough to make me proud of him. But one can't really be proud until one sees a camped up version of Shakespeare.
The play was basically divided into two parts. Before Romeo and Julian have a bonk (which was quite graphic but sensored) it was rather slapstick and modernised. With such lines as "Facebook me!" and "He probably doesn't love you because you buy your clothes form Target." But afterwards, it gets very detailed on the rougher side of family life with Julian's parents being unaccepting. The only minor difference is Julian lives.
While I was thinking Daryl had been given a part close to his personality, I had a good hint that there were rougher scenes. When those scenes came about, it was well acted. The fighting was brilliant and the acting was really believeable and brought about a sense of sadness and anger. Well done Daryl, you have done your best in this. Mind you, through all the kissing scenes, I was so envious!
Enough theatre reviews from me, I've got an extra picture for today. Another piece of art I did, based on the Final Fantasy 8 Siren summon. I know it is crowding my blog for today a little, but that's life. I hope you like it! Until next time,

Tony Abbott needs a gag-piece

In the past few weeks, Tony Abbott has been making statements about his views of abortion, divorce and, most recently, sex before marraige. Now, it is safe to say that I didn't vote for Tony, because his political and religious clashes tell me that he wouldn't support me in anything.
Now, his most recent comments to Women's Weekly (women's magazine) state that teenage girls are getting into sexual acts earlier and they should consider sex before marraige. Now, this is a very wild subject for me. IF people want to have sex after marraige, God speed to you. People tell me how much you don't really need sex until after you lose your virginity. However, there are those out there who, even heterosexual, ahve a strong belief in sex before marraige. This is simply because they wouldn't get any at all otherwise.
Now, as far as Tony should be concerned, he can have his religious ideals, opinions and beliefs, as I would never deny anyone that. But publicising them across women's magazines and television, especially on Australia Day. Being a man, and one who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar (more than once) he is not really in a position to talk. While he is in more of a position to make his views known, he has certainly sparked two different opinions. One was outrage, the other was a small rise in popularity.
Here are my thoughts. Yes, young women are more freed these days to do what they want. I have been a feminist for ages, and letting women be allowed to make their own choices. The 60's were a while ago, get over it. If girls want to have sex before marraige, within legal ages and so forth, that is all for them. If they don't want to, go for it.
The main problem lies in parental education, not teenage choices. I have seen and learned that teenagers are going to do their own thing, regardless, and the best thing to do is educate them on what to do when the situation is at such a point. My Mum, my Grandmother and many of my other close friends, when the subject comes up, remind me of the virtues of safe sex. And, as ongoing and repedative as it is, I know the difference between the two. If your child knows what s/he should do when and where, all you can hope is that they were smart enough to follow your advice.
I know that parents want to protect their children, and sex is definately the big topic for many reasons. But putting your child behind religious lines and preventing sex before marraige is not the answer, especially if it isn't what they want to do. Support your child through their decission making, even if you disagree, and be there to help them put the pieces back together when it is all over. I didn't always recognise it back then, but mum did that for me, even with some of my more foolish, regretable and disagreeable choices in life.
So, where do i stand? In short, protect your kids with knowledge, not forbidding. Education is the key, and sex education begins at home. I know (or at least last time I checked) sex education (or Personal Development, as we call it) is manditory in High School, but let me tell you, I lost my virginity before I stepped into that class.
Now, to my familywho I know are reading, I ahve a few things to say. To my mum, thank you for everything you said and did for me back in the days of my teenage life, even if I hardly ever showed my appreciation. to my Sister and Brothers; with the next generation growing up before your eyes, the time will soon come. While I won't tell you how to raise them, I suggest that you educate, advise and always be there if/when it falls apart. There is nothing better or worse you can do.

Tony Abbott; If your hand is the cookie jar, keep your mouth shut. I accept your religious beliefs, but don't impress them on people in a time when fewer people are not going to accept them. In case you weren't paying attention, feminism has come and I doubt it to be going anywhere. If people want to have sex before marraige, let them. Might I suggest that government up the anti on sex education and so forth so that if teenagers are going to have sex at a young age, they know there is support for them if they need it. Information is your key, not religious laws.

Until next time ladies and gentlemen,
Perry!

Being Australian

Well, Happy Australia Day. Ask me if I care. Seriously, ask me. I don't. Australia Day is a far cry form what it was. Nowadays it is a reason to get drunk in the middle of the week and then not have to go to work the next day because it is a public holiday. Now, I will admit I have had a few good Australia Days in the past, but I am not big on going wild.
Now, watching the news, I must first congratulate those who gained their Australian Citizenship today, because this is a multi-cultural nation, despite what some people say. You now have a home that does not force your hand for religion or politics (beyond the law of civic peace). Some of the stories I have heard of things that happen overseas for their laws and religions is rediculous. People get away with murder and rape while the victims and those related to them are punished. Remind me again why getting into a taxi with an indian driver is abad thing again?
Following that was Kevin Rudd's Nephew doing a peaceful demonstration outside the MCG to say that racism isn't identified or delt with enough in Australia. While they were finned for disturbing the peace or some such thing, I couldn't agree more. While every racist comment shouldn't be an offence, more racist acts should be with harder punishment.
But at the end of the day, I suppose Australia Day brings people together for a day at least. Some traditions for people have been standing for longer than I have been alive (24 years) and that is an interesting and honourable tradition.
Well, I'm going to stop ranting and look at the television. Oh look, a DVD of long-standing Australian Drama. All hail Blue Heelers and it's demonstration of small country life. Cheers,
Pez!

the last celebration

Well, I thought it was amusing!
I know I have been quiet for a few days, and that is because I haven't been here. I have been there. There being Eildon (about 1 1/2 hours north-east of Melbourne). As I mentioned, I was going up there with a few friends to have a relaxing weekend, and that is exactly what I did. Between movies, Trival Persuit and simply sitting back and chatting, Sheldon, Bree and I had a lot of fun. We laughed at everything that we did and at the end of the day breathing wasn't easy.
I can hear someone asking who won TP. Well, Bree won both games, I was second both times and Sheldon was alst. When we played Lord of the Rings TP on the last night, I won and I think Sheldon was second. Mind you, we have a long way to go. There are 20 segments to LotRTP, so there is a long way to go before I can say I am the winner. I seem to always have a problem getting the last piece I need, and I spend 20 turns trying to get to it, only to be landed with a seriously difficult question. Pain in the arse factor.
But now that I am home, things are very quiet, so I am going to take full advantage of it to do some writing. I was expecting some guys to book a reading from me today, but since they haven't called, I am not expecting anything at this point. I need to get my business cards printed off so I at least look professional. I have a card wallet ready to go, so there is only one delay in my way, which I will hopefully deal with tomorrow come the day after.
After that, there is not a lot to really speak of. Things progress quietly for a few days now until Thursday, when I pick up the pace again. I don't mind. Some solitude is good for me now and again. Although I might ask a friend over at some point, depends what I feel like. That's life,
Perry

And the party continues

Behold! My beautiful artwork. Shiva, the Ice Summon form the Final Fantasy series. My scanner had a little trouble with the size, but if I can work things out, I will repost her in a later blog. But I am really proud of her.
Yes, today was my birthday. I had a good day. I ahd some friends drop by for a visit, and I got a lot of mail. Needless to say I had a lot of fun wearing out my wrist on all those scratchies. But I managed to win a few bucks. I took my earned money and purchased a book. I love my books, and I have nearly finished this set. That set is the Andrew Lang Fairy books. I only have 2 left to buy in the next few weeks, so I am looking forward to that.
But tonight was what I was really looking forward to; dinner with Mum and Greg. I decided to try dinner at the Steakout. While I don't like members of security there, I decided the food had to be worth it. My dinner was nice, but Mums' was a bit of a disaster. She ordered a Chicken Ceaser salad, but it arrived it had no egg. So mum sent it back, asking for the egg. What she got was a microwaved egg that exploded on contact with a fork. The salad itself was not Ceaser, but a would-be salad. Note to self; be specific when ordering food at Steakout. That is strike two for them, but three is the killer charm. What was strike one? Ask me again some other time.
Following that was Gold Class tickets to see 'The Lovely Bones.' I have read the book and I intend to get myself a copy, and I had high hopes for the movie. It really wasn't going to be that hard to reproduce. The movie did quite well. I could understand the compression of time and space, but for the most part it did well. I cried at many different points, so it was really good. I think the actors were well choosen, but some characters, like most movies these days, are cardboard cut-outs of what the original characters are/were. Oh well, you can't fit everything into two hours. My score; 3.5/5 stars. points off for overdoing midheaven and some of the acting was rather unfortunate. Not too much, but enough.
Well, I had better leave it there, since there isn't much else to tell for now, at least until tomorrow. I've decided that, despite his dating choice, I'm going to ask Daryl out socially anyway. Wish me luck. Much love,
Perry

Party weekend

Okay, so last Thursday's blog entry was a tough one, but we can't let these things get us down when we have a whole long weekend of birthday party party party. Last Friday night was one of the bigger karaoke nights I've attened. With invitations sent to all my friends on Facebook, and keeping it private so I had no Corey Worthington gate-crashers, I had the best night. Lots of friends showed up, I did a number of my favorite songs and I caught up with people I hadn't seen in months. I also decided that I would do a very special version of Filthy Gorgeous. I took my seriously ripped pants and my gold shirt, and it was basically a softcore strip tease. the worst people saw was a trace of my butt. But it certainly got people's attention. For my readers who are on Facebook, I will soon have a fan basis there and you can see picture evidence for yourself.
For Saturday, well, one can only go to DT's and be entertained by the drag queens. I have made friends with a number of them, including Slash Darling, Anita Beer and kaye Sera. Slash Darling agreed to do a request for me. Slash gets stuck doing the same songs all the time, so I cut her some slack and requested the first song I ever saw her do, "I Touch Myself." Being the dirty girl she is, it really got kinky. But it was great to be surrounded by friends and having a good time of it.
Sunday, what is there to do on a Sunday? Well, the Midsumma Carnival is always a good option. All the information you could want on gay rights, plays, events, locations, help lines and so on and on. I was lucky enough to run into some more friends who I rarely get to talk to at Midsumma, so I certainly made a day of it.
But just because I am sitting here falling asleep while writing this does not mean to say that it is all over. While Monday doesn't hold a lot for me, Tuesday I am off to visit Jane and Dion, as it will be exactly 10 yearts since we first met. Where does the time go, I ask you? But they have been my most long-standing friends, a few hitches here and there, but it is all good. So that will be exciting. Wednesday (my actual birthday) is also payday, so I get to do some shopping on my birthday. I will be buying another one of my books to go on my collector's shelf and my usual foodsyuffs. I also need to buy internet credit, come to think of it. I ahve a friend dropping around for lunch and then, og boy, come evening, we are out on the town again. Mum and Greg are taking me to Crown Casino no less for dinner and Gold Class tickets to see 'The Lovely Bones'. Oh god! I have read the book, so I am hoping that the movie hasn't f**ked it over. If it has, there will be a full-on rant on YouTube. But that is something to remember.
But it still isn't over. Me and some friends are going to Eildon for the long weekend (even if it isn't that long) for a few days of video games, card games, movies and gas bagging. I am making sure that Eildon is not under threat from bushfires before we go, and that an emergency plan is in place. But it should all be good.
I do have a few other things on my agenda for the upcoming weeks. The Midsumma Festival has brought forth two shows I want to go and see. Mum and Greg have (last I checked) decided to come with me to see Romeo and Julian, and since I know the actor playing Julian, I must say that is a major highlight for this month and Midsumma. The 30th is jane's Birthday party, and she will be turning 50. If you ask me, she doesn't look a day over 37, but there you go. That will be at an Indian Restarunt which jane really likes, and I am covering part of her meal and doing the invites as her present from me. lastly, but surely not least, is 'Ladies First,' a show to dedicate the talented women of the ages who stood out from the norms of society. I don't know when I am going, but I had better book it quickly because I might not get in otherwise. But I am sure I will get something. Anyway, I better jetset to bed. Happy Birthday Party to me,
Pez

What does one do?

So what do you do when you find out the guy you have a major crush, or even feelings for, tells you they are seeing someone else? That was today's big surprise when I was talking to Daryl at DT's. I can't tell you how long I have been waiting for him to be available to ask him out. When I did a reading about him and me not so long ago, someone was coming between us, and everyone I handed the reading to translated it as his ex. So, in a polite and curious way, I went to him and asked about his ex and told him mostly truths about why I was asking. During the conversation he mentioned he was seeing someone and my heart pretty much fell to pieces there and then. I hid it well (at least I am pretty sure, because his reaction didn't change), and I've been really chewed up thinking about it on the tram trip and walk home.
I've spent months keeping an eye on Daryl, making sure he was alright, praying for him as he went through his issues and gave him gifts to aid him in the process. Please tell me it wasn't for nothing. I know Daryl knows I have an interest in him, but I have made it look mainly sexual because I didn't want him too clued in until the time was right. But now it seems the right time has come and gone without my noticing.
I can't go through this again. I can't believe that I have spent the last five months waiting patiently for a guy to sort himself out to simply have it all fall apart without me even having a shoe-in. I really wanted it to work. I have been through this too many times to think that this is the way my life is going to be. I know it is lovely to be someone closely involved in a relationship between friends, because I have guided and supported many a couple, whether they have fallen out or not. I have watched my friends fall in and out of love with many people while I have remained single. It is a rewarding feeling when I see my friends in love and I make new friends as well, but I'm sorry, it is becoming too much. Am I to spend the rest of my life doing this, being the idle watcher as others get into relationships and all my best efforts fall to pieces?
I have decided, as I always do, that if Daryl and I aren't to be together for the time, then I am content to be friends with him and make the best of it. But for frells sake, I am not going through this again. it is hurting me too much to think that I have to face this again. If this is another life lesson, then I accept it, for it is something more advanced that I have learned from past interests. Each one is more progressive than others, but it is killing me to have to sit and be patient while I keep looking.
I knew perfectly well the riss I was running with Daryl, I knew that it might fall apart before the word go, but I was hoping that the word go might come first, because it barely does in almost all instances. Des; dated a few times, contact was dropped without a word. Michael: never met, but a lot of contact on a continued basis. Dropped out of contact suddenly. Ric: dated for a bit and contentedly decided to wait until he was ready, but he was seeing someone at the same time and he went into a relationship with that guy. Ric and I are still friends, and the relationship sadly ended, but it hasn't given me any bright prospects either. so what now? Daryl: waited and aided the healing process only to be rewarded with what was there to begin with? A content reward, but in all respects, hardly a fair one.
I even had a wonderful dream about Daryl last night. I drempt he and I were staying with my Mum and Greg, and the three of them were getting on quite nicely, and then Daryl and I went walking down the street as I was showing him the way somewhere, and I woke up. But it was so touching, and that there was a proper connection between Daryl and me, like the way I want it to be here in the waking world. But dreams are just that, dreams. Emotions felt there are not always the same, nor reflect the truth as it is here in reality. I can't really begin to relate the hurt that is running through me nor the tears on the edge of my vision.
But here is what I have decided to do; I am going to do a reading for Daryl relating to his ex, to make sure it really is the ex that has rocked up in a few of my overviews, or if it is his new boy (Alexander). I know the truth hurts, but it is better than laboring under misconception. Whatever the answers are, whatever the outcome is going to be, I will accept it with the good graces I always have, no matter how many tears I silently shed, or the small amount of truth I have to keep from Daryl, to which one day I will own up to, whether it hurts him, me or both. Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but if I have to experience that, can I at least get some good love time in?
I've gone on enough. I think I am going to either have a brake-down now or distract myself with the one thing that always works... a good book. I started the book I got for Christmas from my family up in Campletown. Thanks guys, I'm ony up to chapter four and it is already got me on edge. With much love,
Perry

It's nice and quiet

At last, some quiet time for me to write my blog. I know I have been absent the paast few days, and that is because I have had a few things to deal with. One of my friends is having a bit of a hard time with a relationship break-up, and I have been talking and listening to him and he is hopefully feeling a lot better. It is one of my great joys to help people, even if it is just sitting and listening while they rant and vent. He has assured me it has made a difference and he and I are going to be spending some time together in the future.
The other reason I have been away is because I am doing lots of party planning. With my Birthday around the corner, so you can't really blame me for it. All the invites are out as best as I can get them and I am still waiting for the returns on that. I am having a gathering of friends at my Friday Karaoke, which has now been set up for a big surprise (thanks Roula) and the Drag Show at DT's on Saturday. I know averagely who will attend where, I just need to finalise one or two things. I also need someone with a camera to come down to DT's to take lots of happy snaps of me with some of the queens. Perhaps Mum would like to come.
I also know I am going out for dinner with Mum and Greg on my actual Birthday, and I need to work out what movie I want to go and see, which at this present point isn't much. I need to check to see if 'The Lovely Bones' is out yet, because I have read the book and have high expectations of the movie. Why, I don't know, but lets hope we do well.
I also have a lot lined up in the next few weeks. A few friends and myself are going out to Greg's second home in Eildon for a few days over the weekend post my birthday. Lots of games, movies and a little drinking. There are also a few shows I am going to see. One is Romeo and Julian, which is this years stage play for the Midsumma Festival, and they guy I am really keen on is playing Julian. I am also going to "Ladies First" as performed by Kaye Sera, one of Melbourne's award-winning drag queens. This show is a tribute to the women who stood out in their time (like Eartha Kitt) and the night will be full of songs they wrote and sang. I don't know when I am going but I know I am going.
Well, after all that, it looks like I am going to be busy, but it isn't as much as it seems. the one thing I am looking forward to at the moment is getting my business cards printed up (thanks Gwydion) now that the final copies are in. And it is going to cost me all up (for designing and printing) the same it would have if I had gone to another printer and had to do the design myself. Bargain baby! So tomorrow I go to Officeworks to get the prints done. So that will be exciting.
Right, that is about all the excitement in my life or at least what I am organising to be exciting in my life. If I had a boyfriend, the list of excitement would be nearly complete. But for now, we will party on in singledom. Chat soon,
Pez

Book book

Yeah! Happy rainbow frog!
It is a pretty good sign for how I am feeling today! I got my Blue Heelers season last night and got through two discs (8 episodes) and didn't go to bed until late. But I felt pretty good for it.
I also had a friend call alst night and we spent hours talking. It was really good because he and I had grown a bit apart, but he and I did a lot of talking and some bridges are being built. We are going out tonight for dinner which is his paying me for a reading I did as well. But it is going to be good to go out and let our hair down and simply talk mundane things.
The other thing that has got me happy today (aside form paying off a large bill) is the book I picked up today. I admit I have this mass need for collecting things, and today expanded one of those collections by one. This collection is the Andrew Lang colored Fairy books. They were published more than 100 years ago (for the most part) and trying to find someone who can sell them to me has been a challenge. Many years ago my Grnadmother gave me the first book (Blue) years ago, and my Mother used to read stories from the book for me. Now I am gathering the rest of them. It would be a great little collection to have and to finish reading. There are about 13 books in all, and I have read 2 (Blue and Yellow), and am presently reading Pink.
Well, considering I don't know when Ric (my friend) is going to be here, I need to go for a shave and a shower. So while this one is a short entry, it is still an entry. Some comments would be nice, but meh well. Cheers,
Pez!

Boredom

I'm bored.
Really I am!
I look around and see a few minor jobs to be done around the house and that's about it. Everyone is either back at work or busy, and while I have enjoyed my quiet time, today is just one of those days. The only major thing on my list for today is the iorning. Can't really say how depressing I am finding that.
Needless to say I have been online all day trying to find ways to deal with my boredom. I have watched some wonderful fan-made movies on line (Youtube link below) and watched the video logs of friends. I have done most of the dishes, all the washing my clothesline can take and straightened things out. But I do have a plan to make this evening a little less bored, I am just hoping that all falls into place. If my money from Centrelink comes in early enough (which it has been known to do) I can pick up the next season of Blue Heelers for myself, which will be nice because I need something new to watch around here, and it is up to a good point. So lets hope that all falls in place.
Well, I have also done a bit of advertising for this blog. So all my family on Dad's side know of it's existance, as well as Mum, but there are still people to tell. I don't know how well this is going to go, hbut if it flies, it flies.
One thing people might care to note is the blog I am following on blogspot. Why Women Hate Men. I can't tell you the number of hours I have spent reading this site and laughing my head off at the sexual undertones and overtones of how stupid some heterosexual men are. Maybe I was just raised to respect women or am just plain sensable, but even I know some of those things are rediculous. The other blog I want to follow is Cake Wrecks, which is as amusing as it sounds, but I can't link it to my blog at the present moment. It is linked to my facebook, so you can find it there if you are linked. What some wreckorators do to cakes is highly amusing.
I do need to call a few people today, such as Nan and Mum, and few other people I owe a polite call to. I just find it hard to phone people because I hate interupting, but I really should bite the bullet and get on with it... or text them! Well, obviously not Mum or Nan, but the others... maybe. Just depends right now.
The one thing that has been keeping me entertained the past few nights is a small set of DVD's Nan gave me that explain about life in different parts of the world, both cultural and modern. There are 10 locations, and I have presently watched 3 (Australia, China and Italy). You would not beleive some of the things people do to uphold culture and tradition... or break it. Some of the stories are really touching, while others are rather interesting. It does inspire one to travel. Mind you, some of the things you discover make you want to scream profanities... which I did. One of these was the 1960's Chinese cultural revolution. What a dramatic loss of many arts.
I'm still bored. I can't go up the street for another hour without loitering, and considering the number of police who wander around, I really don't want to risk pissing them off. I don't know how fair all of them play, so I might just keep myself out of trouble as far as they are concerned. Misbehaviour is for those who can take it.
Well, I might see what I can do before I pack up and go for the little shopping trip. Like bring in the washing and get the iorning ready to go. maybe the last few dishes as well. I am still looking for a few things that are going in my charity bag to be dropped off at the salvos in the near future, but I can't lay hands on them. Oh well. I will return soon. Ciao,

Online talk

Well, greetings to my new blog!
As it is so early in the year, let me wish all of you a Happy New one!
I think I should let people in on the main reasons behind this blog.
1) This is basically going to be a bit of an online journal about me and my thoughts. Nothing too personal, but certainly what I think.
2) A place where my family members who I don't see very often can keep track of me as well.
I should point out to all readers who know me personally, that if I rant about them, it is just to let off steam and that I will gwet over it. Seriously, deal with!
I think another reason, for when I am not talking about what has been happening with me, I will have a bit of a go at things in life that are just pissing me off. This will come in many forms, including written texts, pictures and the occasional Youtube video. I won't post them all here, simply because that withdraws from the point of YT, but ones I feel like posting here will make it here.
Well, what has been happening with me since the turn of the calander page? To be quite honest, stuff all! I had a wonderful New Year's Eve though. I spent it with a lot of my friends down at my favorite (and most loved) bar, DT's. Seriously, is there any other way to spend New Year's than with your friends around you with a little alcohol and camp music? Well, if there was, I don't care! I had a blast!
But since New Year's things have been peaceful. The Christmas weeks have been filled with so much that slowing down for a few days has been a rarity if not a luxury for me. I have moved at my own pace, I have been quiet and simply enjoying a few simple things. Also gives me a good chance to email around and see who has done what.
So what is on the planner for the near future? Well, my birthday is in 15 days, and I need to plan a few things and get people in the loop with what I am doing. I am also getting ready for a number of my friend's who have birthdays close to mine, as well as plotting and planning for the future.
This year has a lot going for me. I am going back to TAFE to study 'Comunnitty Services Leasure and Health.' This two year course will give me a Cert4 and a Diploma, and will entitle me to become a recreational officer for either the elderly, the disabled or (I'm pretty sure) students. I am also taking up Tai Chi lessons pretty soon, and am asking people to help fund me to get off the ground for my birthday. I know one or two people who are willing to do so, which is a good start. I can cover gaps myself. I also intend to quit smoking and work out a bit more, because I am sick of my small, but ever present, beer belly. I don't even drink beer. But I want it gone!
Well, now that i have loaded you with some uselessness and basic plot points for 2010, I hope to hear form you soon. If you comment anonymously but know me, please sign off with a name. With much queer camp love to all,
