i'm not doing too well with the keeping up the posts, Eh?
anyhoo, i now have a new job in corowa, with nice people and hot things (burnt my wrist owww). but it seems to be ok. am having a good time.
am slightly sick of people using me though. i refuse to drive anyone anywhere this weekend, this is me time lol. my turn to drink and have someone else look after me :D
anyhoo, looking foward to tonight. havent seem Jai for ages, so were catching up at the pub and then going to pauls 18th. should be a good night. apart fromt he extreme lack of money but i'll manage.
tel you what though, i am loving this weather. its wierd, but rain and drizel and wetness has always made me either content or cheerful. and i absaloutly love frost. (i like snow more but we dont get it here). theres nothing quite like waking up in the morning and having your caravan door frozen shut lol. and the puddles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
argh, must dash off to the large amount of psych homework that is piling up before my very eyes, and then i need to go rehearse (ever time i say that word it reminds me of making fun of Mr Roy!!)for my part int he school production :D

hey guys. its me. yes, i am still alive. kinda busy and stuff, stressing, the usual. just being a normal 18 year old i spose. :D
sleep deprivation, yay.
homework, yay :P
its all good, cept i'm hungry and am putting off researching the Plague for my Biol assesment. yummy. not.
anyway, since my last post, i'm trying to find another job cos the new boss at the bakery is a bitch and hates us all for no reson, i missed a week of school and am still trying to catch up, been stabbed in the back by a so-called friend, and my grandad died. so its been kinda crazy, but i'm getting there. just it all had to happen at the same time, so i guess thats what threw me. but my pal took me out to the pub and we drank it up and hes been there for me so thats a good thing. and its slowly getting back to normal.
so thats me.
good news: tori amos has hit australia! yay |

i would just like to add to my last post, the fact that i am a very very lucky person to know the people that i do.
for example: at a recent party that i went to, i got rather bevvied. had 8 smirnoff double blacks (so about 16 standard drinks) in a very short amount of time, plus i created (due to my smirnoff-ised state) - and drank - a concoction with ken that was goon(cheap wine, burbon, beer, vodka and various unidentifyable drinks (someone walks past and adds to the collection) inside an overly large tupperwear container. i then spilt much of it all over my lovely new top. now, at this point, Jaime got me another top, and put my goon-stained one in the wash. i then got drunken-depressed and Zach looked after me for the rest of the night and listened to my ramblings about how i've failed as a person and how i've let the world down. and i told him what i was afraid to tell anyone here due to their believing (or my believing they'd believe this)that i am pathetic and cant let go - that the one thing in life that has hurt me the most was walking away from my friends in glasgow. and that i didnt turn around and give them one last look cos i was scared that if i did that i'd shatter into a million pieces. Zach looked after me. he hugged me and told me it was all alright. we sat in the middle of the road and had a major deep and meaningful. he held me while i threw up and drove me home, made sure i was ok. Any normal people would have looked at me and said "Nicole, youre a tool, shut up."
and in the morning, he forgave me for being a drunken depressed loser. Jaime forgave me for having her boyfriend (Zach) follow me around all night, and for me throwing my shirt at her. Peta found and soaked my top so its as good as new, and she forgave me for spewing in her backyard. she even forgave me for eating all her twiggy sticks :D and the moral of the story is that my pals, here or in scottyland, are fcukin awesome.
and i just wanted the world to know that this planet is full of people who are beautiful in everyway. |

i would now like to inform that I have officially got my probationary licence. which means i can drive by myself and man it feels good.
drove to beechworth today cos my brother had a crash and "betty's pretty hurt" (Betty is his car) and him an his girl are going to canberra so he needed to get to beechworth where she lives (theyre taking her car, btw :D)
so i took him. its a scary road that one, narrow, windy, uphill and i nearly got hit by some idiot flying around a corner on the wrong side of the road. but i didnt and i'm here and all the better for it. and there goes my studying out the window for today.
to update on my healthy lifestyle, this morning i went for a run/powerwalk. 45 mins. i'd say thats a half decent workout. i was riding my bike every morning but the tyres flat and i cant be bothered fixing it right now :D besides, you need some variety in your training. at the moment in PE we're doing training principles and methods and based on what were studying, i'll be able to figure out a personalised training plan for me. but for the moment i'm getting up at 6:30 every day (except weekends) and spending around and hour riding, powerwalking or jogging. and its working. i feel more energetic and healthy and what they say about endorphins must be true, cos i'm feeling hella good :D. an i tell ya what, early morning is a beautiful time of day.
also, after my little drinking cheap wine(aka dodgy plonk or goon)/burbon/beer/vodka/idont know what concotion out of a tupperwear container episode (well, it seemed like a good idea at the time) at Petas house, and the fact that i have my licence, i've given up alcohol for a month. when the months up i'll just take it easy.
and.... i know this seems like a lot, but i've also given up (for the moment) chocolate, dairy products, all pork/bacon/ham etc and most lollies. plus i am considering turning veggo for a while. cept its no use trying to explain this to my family cos they just laught at me ("i'll give you a week".."nah, she wont last that long")
so yeah. thats the life of me at the moment.
that, a zillion SAC's for school (exercising in the morning helps you get going better, i've found - helps me with school), work with the new boss, driving, and hockey. and i'm going camping this sunday night as monday is ANZAC day so no school. might drive into town for the march, tho. (ANZAC day is the memorial day for Australian and New Zeland Armed Corps - ie all the aussies/new zelanders who died in war)
and yeah. at the moment my only frustration is that hotmail and messenger do not work. but now i must go.
love yas all XX |

had the best conversation for a long time last night. had a deep and meaningful conversation with Sam, whos just come back from a year in denmark. and despite the fact that i was just a wee tiny bit drunk, it all made sense (or maybe it made sense because i was a wee tiny bit drunk) and he knew. he understood. it all made sense.
and it was good.
but i rang jen. and talked to her. it was wierd. good to hear you again jen. but then the phone cut out and i couldnt ring her back. apparently i'm only allowed to talk for 20 mins >:( and i cant make any more international calls untill i recharge my credit. and as i have $200 on my fone i dont think i'll be doing that soon...
but i got the message saying "you have 1 minute talk time left" after the phone hung up on her.
bugger. |

todays thought:
i dont think i'd like the person i'd be today if i hadnt experienced everything that i have.
hmm..
so i take it my CD reached scotland..
and, joy of joys, theres a wee small chance i may be able to get cheap calls from my mobile to overseas.. must look into that.
i am feeling very deep and philosophical lately. and i've come also to the conclusion that i dont like someone at work (totally unrelated topic) but she is always swearing, for no reason. and i find that a bit intimidating in "the workplace" but she does it all the time in casual conversation and not just when she has real need to swear. which makes me sound like some prissy little posh girl or something, but i just dont like it.
anyhoo..
i'm ina wierd mood today. all the frustration this darned computer has given me has kinda dained me and all day i've been snappy when i didnt want to be. just in one of those broody, moody days, i spose.
hmm...
should sleep.
night XX |

isnt it wierd how the smallest thing can trigger a flood tsunami of memories and emotions?
for example. i bit into a strawberry the other day. and that simple action made me think of someone who i used to "chuck lappies" (ie walk) around the school with, and the day that i was eating strawberries whilst walking and talking with this person, who is now away back in his own country and i miss. and that simple action of biting a strawberry brought back memories, happiness,content, missing-ness and a little sadness.
and also, everyday theres something. a song. some stray overheard word. a glance at one of the photos or trainticket lining my caravan walls. the feeling of a necklace chain the she gave me around my neck. but theres always something to remind me.
not only that, but theres so many things that i've picked up from the people i've met. Ideas, music tastes, words, mannerisms. so i, in myself, contain pieces of everyone who is important to me. dont you think its insanely wonderful how complex and yet so simple people are? which probably doesnt mak sense and i'm not quite sure how to explain that comment properly, but thats what i think. we, as humans, are both complex and simple.
anyway, i really must go now and leave my thughts for another day.

also last weekend, going swimming at midnight. in the pool :D
new years morning.
getting ...closer... to a friend of mine.
school. catching up with just-returned-from-a-years-exchange-in-canada melissa, who i can have exchange-student talks with and SHE UNDERSTANDS!!!!
talkin to amanda and lewis :D
running around in the rain and jumping in puddles :D:D:D
