Hi Future Veronica. Don't worry I'm sure you look fabulous.
This week I kept meaning to write in my live journal, but it's harder to justify to myself than writing to people, so I have inserted a letter to a friend that tells it all.
it could be a bit confusing cause I think I answer a few questions from his email to me, at least at the beginning; he asked me how it feels to not catch the train anymore, because now I can drive to work. Yessss

yes all good! glad to hear you're doing good too.
only read this when you have heaps of time, seriously.
the non-commute has been super-doop. although on a day like today, I had to get on two buses anyway, cause I"m going straight to the city for this magazine launch with Marky, yaaaaay! I'm so happy with that man quite seriously, also I was so excited because I wanted to go to this Saatchi director's Cannes thing, I'll attach the invite. I am heartbroken that I can't go but I guess you can't do everything. I would have to get a new dress too, because lots of people would see me from the other function I'm going to next Friday night. I clearly need a sugar daddy. lol marky pointed out that I have years and years to do that crap. But I wanna go to this one! :'o
MATE I FORGOT TO TELL YOU about the fricken massive night we had Friday... don't know if someone told you but whew... get comfy...
went to my work party on Friday night. wore sexy dress. ended up smoking up with workmates, importantly the head of our M&C Saatchi hub, i.e. one of Aus' top agencies.
kicked onto Sublime where I was meeting Joyce. Didn't particularly want to go, Sublime is way over, went there with Brownie and his sister in yr11, when it was hot. was excited to be on the door though, I never miss a bargain so it was like $30 free, so I had to go. saw a bunch of people i didn' like, particularly Caroline. she's going through this dumb phase that is so predictable, you know people when they start getting into raves and dancing, they do this dumb dance where they stomp one foot, twist their wrists and categorically wear some dumb accessory, like a hat or a pacifier. you'd have seen em. so anyway, saw them, danced a bit but nothing special, my phone got flogged, I cried, searched the building, left. it's not a downer though it went on.
anyway went to Kinselas near Oxford. was on the pingers so v.happy to see everyone. cause if you can imagine I love everyone anyway. went there, great to see Steph reitkerk and the whole Bligh Park crew, every last (good) one. continued to wear sexy dress. then partied with none other than KUMAR from HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE. You may remember him from teen movie Van Wilder including, 'that's not bong, it for my shlong!' So of course that was hilarious, then Susie (who was leaving for New Zealand, her farewell) wasn't allowed back in. So we all go to leave, and we're like to Kumar and his bud, 'come with hell yeah!' so they come with, down to this club, and we're lining up outside, we're going, comeon Kal, man, you don't have to line up, we show the doorman him, and the doorman's like, 'get outta town! you guys come in!' so kal deadset points out about 14 of us and we all go in for free yesssss. that was exciting.
anyway we're in there, and Kal's friend Matt IS HHHHOOOOOOTTTT I was on fy-a. my god. and he wanted me, and I wanted him grrr, but I didn't I behaved, he was so sexy with his American accent and everything. God I could give him a few, but I didn't! You know cause I was wearing my sexy dress and everything, plus pills and I still didn't yay I'm officially a good girl again.
then i was with big guff (Daniel) when he got a call that Michael had been in a serious car accident don't know if he's ok. did you hear about this? so of course we're terrified, Lisa F called Daniel and I'm trying to comfort him saying it's probably nothing, but I only half believed it, of course the reality being that we realised now that it could happen again. long story short he ended up being fine. it's freaky though, he was .16 for god's sake... he's made it all the way from the city to Richmond, and stacks on Windsor St near the tennis courts. Clips the gutter, hits tree, then hits tree on the other side of the road. if anyone had been with him in the car, they'd be gone on the passenger side there, worrying because liklihood of that: high.
the guffs still had their pajama party on Saturday night. there was a very funny moment when Stephanie Reitkerk found out Guff had an accident... he had scratches all over him and she was there all of both nights.
answered the phone to a 'Leia' yesterday.
just ate a pastrami, lettuce, mustard & onion sandwich. my breath smells like shit but day-m, that's a good sandwich.
so yeah I'm good sorry to crap on, but they're all details that I really think you'd want to hear!
it's good I"m very busy today at work so there's things to do and it's a bit of a challenge.
Julian and I are good as yet... I'm not sure though. Just need to kick start my heart. You heard me! *blush at Motley Crue reference* lol! this weekend for example, he can't come in here cause he's on a shift i.e. 6-2 and on call for the weekend. I get really excited when I see him and everything, and we get along great on the weekends. You know how it is. I ask all you guys about it, you the girls a few others and I just get, 'whatever makes you happy' which is correct, but I'm 20! how the shiz am I supposed to know what makes me happy? that's what midlife is for. crikey. I've been going great for so long I don't want to go downhill. When you're single no-one has an obligation to listen to you. and I don't want to start looking for love in the wrong places again. there are a lot of wrong places in Sydney. and importantly, I love j. i really was expecting an answer to present itself to me sooner than this, but that answer is further down the hill, and Julian and I are on the chairlift up. Why must everything in my life relate to Seinfeld? Jerry has this bit, when he says 'if you're engaged, and you don't want to get married... it's prety tough. it's like that first his of a rollercoaster when you didn't really want to go on the ride...'
the moving thing has been fine. I've caught myself out a few times e.g.' locked' myself in the house, called Camilla, just wasn't pulling on the door hard enough. lol. when Camilla isn't cooking, the guys just cook steak and I make the vegies or side dish or whatever. things will be a bit different when Camilla goes back to Uni next week. Already had at least 3 people sleep there each weekend, no one gives a snort, they're really fine. Of course I make sure everyone's a great houseguest, of course not many need a poke. Pulling those swags out of the cupboard is so good, they're great and comfy and easy to pack away it's a spin out. Not being able to find parking is a shit. Every near- fender- bender I have is terrifying, because their panel would very seriously be a month's pay. my household watches big brother which is a worry, but only cause there's so frequently nothing else on. I don't anyway that's the good thing about FTA tv it's easy to resist.
been talking to a couple of coypwriters about doing some after hours work experience, not tying myself into anything yet. that's the great thing about voluntary work, if the guy's a toss, see ya later.
i am freaken spent I tell ya what. this day has gone so fast it's strange.
i think I told you next week I'm going to this youngbloods thing. i love youngbloods. advertising youth group i.e.
i wonder if you like that song by Ciara, Oh. I don't suppose you necessarily would, but it's worth a listen cause I think it's special!
also Alix has officially moved to Sans Souci so we're a team again! They're all back at the yoon yoon this week. Alix got Distinctions and Credits last semest, Kathy got passes and credits, and Megan got all passes. They were all cheering. So you know, we had cheesecake. hey yeah too, J said he saw Dermy at Subbies and he didn't ask about me, CUT! I always wonder what he's doing. Fuggim!
talk soon kitty kat, it was great to hear from you.
