How did I meet these people?
twenty two weeks since I last posted? must be having such exciting life experiences that I just dont have the time. The reality of the past while has been slightly different tho. Had my first gallery opening, all organised through my school and shared with the other students in my class. Had to take a monument, and remake it after revisting the idea behind the original through research. Not a bad idea but then they made it part of our fibre studies class, and we had to make it out of fabric... which in my humble opinion just sucks. I took an example of common NZ history and presented the unknown personal accounts in tiny little unaccessable parts of the work, making people treat them as un-important. Making a statement about historty. High grades as usual.
On other fronts, my grandmother is abit ill. She's had some surgery and a few digestive organs taken out after finding cancerous cists. Cancer free now though, and back at home.
On the political front, the labour party will win in NZ, and mcCain (middle aged white man with money) will win on the day. How's that for an outsider's view? :P
Work is continuing in a direction that resembles forwards. Drama as ever but I'm just floating in the background not involving myself and waiting for the time that they HAVE to give me the assistant manager job. Soon my pretties, very soon.
I'm in one of those phases (or probably still in it) that nothing is really good or bad. however my reaction to it is one of acceptance, and in a way smug. I was mad at my friends for their lack of interaction and general dramatic BS, but I've watched them for the past 6months slowly decline into disasters. Disasters that have made me very fond of my mediocrity.
One has just announced his girlfriend is pregnant - no one knows if it's his. She has openly been cheating on him for close on 8months. He knows, we know. I'd give him more sympathy if he had a little common sense.
Another has moved back in with his baby mama after a year and a half long "break". She's telling everyone that it wont last because he's still into drugs. I'm like, What? you're surprised?
One has just had a baby, she doesnt know who the dad is (new years 2007/08 anyone? hands up?) and has been disowned by her small town family.
Another - a twenty-five year old man child - and his (18yr old) long term girlfriend have taken on raising her younger brothers and sister after her (crackhead) mother handed them over to authorities. They're high school drop outs - although so am I - they both work in fast food, the kids, 9 and 13, dont even know how to read. He thinks that it's her responsibility and he should have no hand in the raising of the children. She, beat up the little girl she found giving her 13yr old brother his first kiss.
If that Doesnt spell disaster i dont know what does.
And with that I shrug my shoulders at my life, and there's a little voice laughing like nelson munst in the back of my mind. I can be bored for a while, continue with the health kick. New metallica album next week, exciting shit. I have freedom.
It's all about me, baby. And that's the way I like it.
Ohh, and an honourable mention to my now long distant acquaintance, who lives in a town of two-hundred and is making babies with his cousin.
