anti-depressants

I started them yesterday after deciding that I didn't need more days like Monday, I am sick of letting little things tip me over the edge. I am feeling the side effects a bit I think, I have no qppetite and have been getting headaches and can't sleep that well, though that could be the wind that has been buffetting my apartment. THere is something almost surreal about days like yesterday with the crazy winds and then reading about Hurrcane Katrina, something in your subconscious makes you feel as though you are experiencing it? Anyway I meant to buy the Australian today becauise it had a great headline about Katrina Rampaging, teehee, well it isn't funny of course but there is something strange about seeing your name associated with rampaging.

privacy

Why is everything I do monitored? I need some privacy to express my feelings, its not fair to follow me around.

slackness

Hmm its monday morning and about 10:30am and I am yet to get dressed. I am soo tired today plus I feel all emotionally drained.

I had a nice weekend, caught up with the gals for dinner on saturday. Very nice, would have liked to stay out a bit later with Carla and Sarah etc but I was so tired. Plus I was so stuffed full of food I couldn't even drink any more. oops.

Went to Mum and Dad's yesterday. Mum has been helping me to re-line my overcoat. It is a really beautiful coat tha she bought in Wales in the 70s, but the long completely disintegrated over Jan and Feb when I was in Rome. I thought it would be an easy job but it is sooooo hard, and I am sucg a perfectionist I find it really frustrating.

I am just loving this beautiful weather, though it means Mark has started getting hayfever whic is bad.

different pictures


Hmm I changed my mind about that picture. Maybe I am looking at the wrong things to cheer me up, maybe pictures like that remind me of some happiness, but they also make things sad. Make me regret things...

Anyway this is an allround happy picture of Hamish the dog.

That yellow thing you can see is a special collar my mum bought him which sprayed citrus when he barked.It was to try and stop him barking when everyone was out, my dad noticed that when the other dog barked it would also spray him, poor thing.

cloudy friday

Why is that as soon as there is some sun in winter I think it is spring and there will never be another cloud till next May? I am all disappointed now.

Last night was good, despite a few hitches. Had a uni trivia night which I had semi helped organise, had a good crowd and lots of laughs.

Had a great weekend. Went out on saturday with Carla and Bri and Sarah to Max Brenner and indulged in chocolatey goodness, chatted lots stayed for three hours (partly because they took so long to bring us food). But it was all fun, went to three degrees and saw the strange barman again, he asked us for i.d. and spent ages trying to work out my age muttering under his breath. He is a bit dumb methinks. Then we were looking at the papers and when he brought us food he asked if we were finished so I just said, 'yep, read them all' (as a joke) and he said 'really!!' and then took them away and started looking over them and looking at me. Anyways Carla and Sarah got to meet Mark, I think he was a bit nervous Then me and Mark went off to the Melbourne Wine Shop (its also a bar) and had a quick drink before heading to a friend's birthday drinks at Double Happiness. IT was fun, it's a really lovely bar with an open fire and I drank a lychee vodka cocktail I had a nice chat with a few people, including this Spanish/Turkish guy who had worked for the U.N. in Kosovo, pretty crazy stuff. I was v. impressed (especially as he was the same age as me) and asked how he got the job, and he said 'oh I don't have any qualifications or anything really, I just speak Spanish, Russian, turkish, French and a little bit of English.' (His english was perfect) Went to my parents yesterday to work on re-lining my jacket, we got a bit done but me and mum tend to spend mot of the time chatting and drinking tea with me cuddling the little puppydog. My poor sister is in a bit of a mess, she hasn't got a job and is all depressed again, just sleeping all day but refusing to go and see anyone about it.

Whisky whiskey whishky

But anyways last night was so fun Carla and Bri wrote about it already but we had lots of good fun drinking free whisky, I even found I quite liked bourbon which I never have before. It was quite a funny night, we had to watch some promotional videos and stuff which all had very very bad music so I wrote that on my comments sheet. Carla was in love with the presenter and Bri drew smiley faces on her tasting cards. Then we had such delicious pizza, I can't believe I ate a whole one I will have to be good today before our chocolate on Saturday. It was fun meeting Dan, he had his super cool Coca Cola t-shirt on Carla also kicked my arse at pool, nevermind.
