Well wow. It's been a long time. I can't believe it's been quite so long but it has. I keep complaining to maci that she doesn't update her blog so when I'm bored at work I have nothing to read. Now she complains that I never update mine and well, after checking... she has a very valid point. She has made me promise to update it at least once a week and even just updating it once to be honest was quite a scary prospect. I haven't written anything in so long!
Firstly I should say the old folks at Blogger have made a few changes to their code etc so I was having trouble publishing anything tonight. As such I have created this new blog which is the one I will use from now on. If you wish to visit the old one, it is at http://www.void.webcentral.com.au/blog/blog.html
I will try to make this blogger more aesthetic at some stage. For now I'm just happy to be able to publish again!
Well, I'll just write and see what comes out eh? not much else I can do really.
So let's see. The other day I was cleaning up my computer and found a text file of a blog I had done on 29/09/01 but that I never posted on here. I think I'll post it now:
"i remember the folds in the fabric of her dress, the folds in the fabric of his face, the folds in the fabric of life.
Everything folding, pliable, moving and creasing. You can't erase the creases on nature, they stubbornly reappear- always in the same spot.
i remember lifting her sweater to my face and drowning in the traces of perfume still clinging to the neckline
i remember when it didn't feel like i was looking at the world through smokey quartz lenses, when everything just was.
Things meant so much more to me then, I had an opinion on everything, everything mattered to the core, everything moved purposefully.
Is it apathy causing my confusion?
I really want a cigarette
I'm going to have one.
I don't have opinions anymore, there are too many variables... let life wash over me, so long as it leaves me standing"
I'm very melodramatic aren't I :) It doesn't start off too bad but then I get a bit lost up my own arse. I can't believe I still smoked back then. It must have been just before I stopped since I've been a non-smoker for about 2 years short of a couple of months now.
I went to the dentist today. I hadn't been in 12 years. Yep, 12 years. Disgusting.
I thought I was going to be up for about a grand getting everything cleaned up and fixed. Well, after checking me over he decided he had to take a couple of xrays to make sure but so far all looks good and the one filling I have that I got about 14 years ago is still a-ok. Amazing huh! So I got a couple of xrays and a tooth clean. Happy about the tooth clean because it's scraped off the last remnants of tar from my smoking days and now I have lovely pearly whites... well, maybe off-whites.
I was going to take a trip down memory lane and go through all that has happened in the last year and a bit - there seems to be so much. Don't think I'll do that now though. Don't really have the patience for it right this minute to be honest.
I finished re-reading Harry Potter 4 a couple of hours ago. Was bawling on the couch when Cedric Diggory died and Harry struggled to get his body back to his parents and all through Dumbledore's speech. *sigh* I love Harry :)
3 more sleeps till HP 5... after a 3 year wait! awesome. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts for this.
Another thing to look forward to this weekend... Patches is coming over on Sunday to teach me how to crochet squares so maybe I can make a blanket. I'm so excited... at the moment I just want to create create create. Melissa says I'm nesting. Maybe she's right.
Anyway, I think I've written enough for today. How's that Maci eh? How'd you do that 'Gis' a shout' thing so you can send me comments??
