we'll pretend it's okay...
- i'm moving. mid-october, i will be moving into aliee's house in rockdale. she's been offering for ages and i've thought it through and i'm on board. her house is lovely, she has a dog, her and her boyfriend both work a lot and my rent will be half of what i pay now. i see no bad side. i'm a little worried that i'm going to be a shitty housemate, since i've never been a housemate before, but i figure i'll get used to it.
- this is the reason for the angst of last entry. mum's been trying to talk me out of it for no immediately identifiable reason. i'm reaching breaking point with my patience.
- friday was pretty terrible. i got myself together and went to the doctors because i'm way overdue for a pap smear and because i wanted to get the cervical cancer vaccine. needles and internal examinations are not exactly comfort-makers right there, but this doctor...hmm. 'violated' seems too strong a word, whereas 'treated inappropriately' is completely insufficient. ended up in tears at pathology while a concerned nurse and receptionist handed me a form to make a formal complaint. i've never made a formal complaint before, but i've never wanted someone fired so badly in my life. the nurse and receptionist actually gasped when i told them what she said and did. ungh.
- and yeah, there's something wrong with me. i've been referred. i get to investigate that in two weeks. yay.
- so i was miserable. so i bought a guitar. i've been wanting to learn for ages, and now i have one. i have tentatively named it 'courtney' because of my courtney and because scod named his guitar courtney and because i am a giant dork. obviously.
- nick called me in between the doctor and the guitar and spent half an hour on the phone with me cheering me up. then she spent the whole weekend - grocery shopping, x-men movie marathon, closer, nachos, wine and markets - with me. she also bought me a push-pop and a poster-sticker ratatouille book. she's awesome.
- we saw ratatouille on sunday. it is pretty much amazing. greater union managed to bork up the screening so that the colours were saturated in parts and we had subtitles the whole way, but it was still freaking sweet. i had tears in my eyes at paris. i kinda want to be colette - clever, purple-haired, in love with a dork and in paris.
- i went to apec. it was incredibly non-violent, compared to the news reports we saw later on in the evening. my new favourite words are 'creative dissent'. we saw some pretty hilarious examples on the day. it was a good thing to be a part of and i'm very happy that i went.
- 'voldemort is revealed!' *snerk*
- melbourne soon! very exciting. i didn't learn my lesson when i caught the train back, because this time, i'm catching the bus down. it's half the price of the cheapest flight and i have a bad memory. i get to fly back though! that's kinda nice. even if i have to go to avalon for it. still, plane! win!
- if frank'n'gerard are fucking, then pete'n'patrick are married. seriously, pete could not be more in love with his best friend if he tried. this? makes me happy.
- and yeah, frank'n'gerard are totally fucking.
- if anyone wants a futon, fridge or microwave, i will have one of each for sale in about a month. let me know if you're interested, else i'll try flogging them on ebay.
- aliee's going to paint my room blue. this pleases me greatly.
- i haven't been sleeping properly. it's kinda interesting. hmm.
