this is for you.

< insert>.....Lately i can't stop thinking about spaghetti. ahah i know that sounds so stupid but spaghetti is so... symbolic and special. And everytime i think about it i can't help but smile. Making spaghetti together was always so ... happy. I hope you never make spaghetti with anyone as good as how we made it. If it happens that i totally forget about you and if i had to remember you in one way, and one way only - it would be in the kitchen making "our" spaghetti.

ngeharhr

so our special ingrediants for lovers who are lovers of spaghetti -
olives, olive juice, red wine, mushrooms, sugar, oregano, LOTS of garlic. and the most special of special ingrediants... wait for it .... L O V E.. negarha

the red wine is only put in minutes before you turn the heat off. and the sugar (only a little bit) is the very last thing added. (except parsley for colour and parmesan cheese). (Love has to be constantly mixed into the dish, or else it will taste like crap) (what an eliquent choice of words) :P

I don't think i'll ever have spaghetti as good as ours.

ngeharra im such a sucker. kill me now. please..............< /insert>

its happened again, motherfucking exbf!!!!!!!!!!!!

BYE GUYS - im moving!

I was serious about NOT linking me!

If you want me, email me your worth.

I keep getting flash backs of things that happened at Byron Bay that i failed to mention in my entry. It must've been a crazy week if i'm just remember things now! A week of alcohol can't have been good for my body.

Especially after loosing my virginity to Long Island Ice Tea that Sarah concocted for me. YUMM!! I lerve Rum. And i was drinking it while playing "Have You Ever", drinking to EVERY statement (except getting off on sucking toes HAHA). I think that explains why i couldn't remember that night. Long Island Ice Tea, although delish, is EVIL!!

And the local EVIL VOODOO dolls, Terrance and Gertrude (formally known as Philomena) that we befrended but it turned out they were evil Chucky-like and were found at obscure places of our holiday house like sitting on the stairs or outside Sarahs and Christies Room and on the dining room table with a butchers knife?!?! And Terrance was found hung on the door near the patio. Scary evil evil dolls.

And Sarah giving me a massive bruise on my arm when she beat the shit out of me when i scared her after coming out of the bathroom.

And.. on NYE when the fireworks were going off..
Christie to Beth: This is the best, But... there's one thing missing, Beth.
Beth: Pills? Pills! We need more pills!
Christie: I meant our boyfriends.
Beth: Oh yeah, that too.
*wonders off in never-never land*
hahahahhaha

Oh man, ahah other stuff happened. thats all i remember for now. bwahaha.

I'll put up photos when everyone develops theirs. My camera broke so i couldnt take my own :(

Oh yeah and Meet Bob, my new toyboy! A work-mate came back from his Russian holiday with his promise to bring me back a nice Russian man.
Russian, yes. Nice... hrm.

he definately is fun though. :P

work - home - chat - sleep. what i life i live. jealous much? haha

Last night hung out at Jammos house watching DVDS with her and Erikar. Watched Legally Blonde 2. "WHOS READY TO DISCHARGE!?" (hahahaha) and Phone Booth again (ugh - lame.) "..But a ringing phone has to be answered.." thats so stupid. No it doesnt?



Had words with the girls and asking Erikar if she was thinking of getting back with Dennis. I hope not - Dennis is bad news when it comes to girlfriends. I wonder what game he is trying to play this time. And as if i wouldnt tell Erikar all the stuff he is gets up to and about other girls (ie. his gf, Rosa) and at the same time saying that he is trying to get back with her. I told myself that i wouldnt get in the middle of it again, but its Erikar, my oldest friend - i'm not going to let him fuck her over again, not after what happened last time. I have obligations! Damn Dennis - you try to help him out, but ugh. And you think he is changing, but then he does something so stupiid all hope goes flying out the door. I don't want to get in the middle again, but i'm already here. I know im doing the right thing by telling Erikar, there is no doubt. Now to deal with Dennis. Erikars a smart girl, i hope she doesn't get sucked into his little game again.

I hate having to explain to people whats wrong with my skin. I already know people look at me wierd and thats ok - because i am wierd looking, but to ask me. it's so frustrating!! Just DONT LOOK AT ME! I AM A FREAK!!!! I ALREADY KNOW!!!

Anyhooo - ill blog more later.

bwaha. I bought a camera for lunch.

:D :D :D

i do lerve impulse shopping.

I've got a fabulous idea! To emphasis the concept of new memories and a fresh life for all things karen, i've decided to purchase a digicam.

Lets get deep - real deep.

With this, i'm going to take photos of everything and everyone who makes me happy - who makes me, well.. me. And hopefully my love for life will once again be rekindled and inturn, love for myself. Hows that grab ya? Although im finding this kind of ironic; cameras take still shots of memories - things that were. I think it could possibly help me to realise what life has to offer me and be constantly reminded that it's not all that bad really. It's really quiet beautiful, I just need to get a move on and really focus on ME for a change. To heal, to grow and to be better. (ugh how corny).

So - empty your pockets kaz, 'cause you're going to be broke as a joke. But thats ok. I can live with that.

i've been inspired again. Though i've always known this, why can't i just do it?

Kudos to a ringo-ian.

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you
this - when people can walk away from you: let them walk. Don't you try
to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you,
caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. Your
destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they
came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for
us. For had they been for us, no doubt they would have continued with
us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can get super glue and you can't make them stay. Let
them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means
that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when
people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to
raise the dead. You've got to know when it's over.


hrm..

Wow. Its Sunday and im not hung over, though i'm still recovering from this stupid sickness. Damn you Cheeky Monkeys! Damn You!

I don't feel good. Not in the sick way of not feeling good - but i don't feel ... happy?

I think it's been a while since i've really talked to anyone about the him situation. I'm trying to block it out and just go on my merry way. And it works momentarily but now i feel like i'm not even progressing. stuck in this rut and really struggling to get out of this black hole. I need new memories so all the old ones can go flying out the other ear. It's not like i want him back, it's not like it was a solid relationship and it's not like it was really love anyway? The whole relationship was based on insecurities and it went on for too fucking long. I'm still slapping myself for letting it go for long long. Still slapping myself for being so weak and being so stupid! I'm seriously so tierd of being here. I just want him to understand, and he still doesn't get it. So fucking THICK.

to know exactly how im feeling - download Evanescence - My Immortal

FAST FORWARD LIFE, FAST FORWARD!!!!

And really - what do i have to offer to anyone else anyway? Why would anyone want me? I'm freakishly short, revoltingly fugly, i have a foul mouth, i drink too much, i'm stout, my skin looks diseased, and i only pick up when im drunk and when "they're" drunk .... maybe i should move to America. They're all freaks there anyway. Someones bound to love me. maybe a tree. hahaha.

So I need to learn to love myself, gain confidence - how the hell do i do that? Where the hell do i start? Who am i, joddammit?! Your guess is seriously as good as mine.

I think i have Bi-Polars. haha

I need to get away again.

Hoo-Haaaa. Kaz is a spaz.

Just got back from WONDERLAND. Teehee i had fun exerting all my hyper activeness and energy so much so that i am buggered and can't keep my eyes open :) I'm re-learning the joys of good, clean fun and i lerve it. and I think i'm seeing a speckle of the old karen. :D

T'was I, Erikar, Jammo, Al, Den and Kris. Den scored us a dragon and a mushroom playing basketball. I named my mushroom, Shrooms. He's cool. And he spins when he flies in the air.

Didn't really get the chance to go on many rides, but that was A.O.K with me. We pirateshipped it. HAHA and River rampaged it (which resulted in ALOT of sexual innuendo about being "wet", Kris! haha). and Flying chaired it (soo free). and carouselled it (i was too tall to ride a horse? Me? Too Tall?). thats all.

i feel... "happy", but.. empty.

..i just want time to fast forward....

This is an "i'm bored, so i'll blog, blog."

I stayed home today because i was sick. Yes - I'm still sick from Cheeky Monkeys at Byron. Infact, i've been sick all week (took Monday off as well) and yesterday i went home early because i spewed at work. charming.
That was by far the most seediest club i have EVER set foot in. *coughingfit* and i guess chain smoking the entire week hasn't helped either, because im hacking up some classic gollies. charming again.

My conversation about God with Kris the other day was eerie. Eerie in the sense that i felt... open and... relieved... and watched - yes watched! It felt like someone was looking over me and i freaked out. I still need to do alot more thinking but i've got respect for christianity now. whereas before i never really did understand.

The past couple of days i've see the following - Whale Rider, Dancer in the Dark, Lost in Translation. Good Will Hunting (for the 5th time) and Kill Bill (for the 4th time).All GREAT movies! I suggest you all watch them. Although Dancer in the Dark wasnt as great as i was expecting (Christy was raving about it), but it was so sad, and powerful. I love movies where i come out ... feeling.

friday five time

What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .

1. ...today?
getting better

2. ...over the next week?
wonderland tomorrow

3. ...this year?
travelling

4. ...over the next five years?
love

5. ...for the rest of your life?
family and getting old

ugh. boring

Im staying home on the first friday of the new year. great for my pocket, but crap other wise.

I've been sitting infront of the computer ALL day not doing anything remotely productive - and i want to get off now but i want to listen to all these albums (Jill Scott, John Butler Trio, Bjork, Musiq). I only have mp3s and my room is on the other side of the house and i cant listen dammit. Looks like i'll be here for a while.

I'm getting fat again. My weight is doing all sorts of circus tricks. Need to stay consistant. Size 8 size 8 size 8 size 8 size 8 - it calls me.

Wow. 2 straight weeks of no communication. Thats gotta be a record right there. And i know he's not thinking of me because he has his "distraction". Damn him. And these dreams! These dreams i've had every single friggin night for about a week. UGH!!! GO AWAY MOTHER FUCKERRRRR. JUST FUCK OFF!!

eheh ok. Bye




Thursday, January 08, 2004

Now i get it. duh

my denial of christianity has been sought over, thanks to Kris.

there IS a GOD.

Wednesday, January 07, 2004

im freaking out.

i keep having to remind myself that im in the REAL WORLD now. goddamit, REAL WORLD. I've been working for 6 months, but it's only today that i go smacked upside my head because my company is doing some major refocusing and i - I! need to input on strategies on systems. *bites nails*

No more procrastinating. no excuses for not having done a report in time. no "but my teachers cool, he'll give me an extension". no "i forgot it on my kitchen table" crap.

this is what my education and social skills have worked me up to. argh!! its all happening and im freaking out.

*breathe*

i really am here. it's amazing.

im scared...

Tuesday, January 06, 2004

I asked my dad for $1000 today. "For what?" he said. I says i need it to support my drug addiction.

he looked at me

silence

we both burst out in laughter.

hey. it was worth a try.

no really. i really do need $1000. since when did i start paying for my own education? Gah. damn being more independant.

------

i'm getting signs around me that is highlighting my lack of spiritual guidance.

i am agnostic. i believe in a higher being but i don't know its' purpose. i do not believe in most catholic church teachings. i think the bible is rediculous. i believe in being a better person in general. i believe Gods gives us the choice to believe in him in any shape or form. Because ultimately, we all believe in the same God. I favour the buddist way of life; we live each life so that our next life will be better - closer to "nirvana".

i think its time i find the light.

but i will not go to hillsong. *coughCULTcough*

i dunno. its not for me. either way, we still all believe in the same god.

I still love the quote from "The Color Purple" that i have quoted once before in a previous blog... it is along the lines of ...
" ..god gets pissed off if you walk through a field of flowers and don't stop to smell them.."
i like that. i like it alot.

anyway. life is great.

except, i don't know if i like myself.

ha. another blog for another day.

toodles.

ANYHOOO... Byron was fun..some times. I did learn alot though - not going to try to lead with such controlling friends, i'm not going to be so generous with people who i know wont do the same for me, not going to let myself be walked over. and i made 2 great new friends. I witnessed a love that has potential to blossom (finally) and i finally stood up for myself. Woohoo!
What a week.

2004 is definatly going to be different. I've put up with enough shit - never again.



IM BACK! and thank friggin goodness! I had a ball, but at the same time my patience wore thin after the week of maddness/relaxation, so much that on our last night at eating at an a la carte seafood restaurant on the beach at Byron, drunk as a skunk - i blew it. Absolutely blew it at Dani and Sarah yelling and screaming and getting the filthiest looks from the poshies from the area. I didnt care, i needed to let it out - i was getting so sick and tierd and being treated like .. like.. i dunno. Not as well as i deserve. I stormed out and let them do what they wanted to do despite me saying it ten billions times - never listening to a word i say. So much shit like that happened that week, i got fed up. I'm not meant to be a born leader - i'm made to be a sheep. a drone. a cow. follow the pack. not happy. not at all. Bah.

This year is going to be different. I'm going to make myself be heard. I'm not going to take things lightly, not let myself me walked on, let people think that i am easily satisfied. Although it one of my main characteristics - i don't like confrontation, i don't like people arguing, but i'm not going to let them think that they can have it all their way. Its a lesson learnt for both parties. Hmph.

PHEW. Just had to get that off my chest because the 14 hour drive back in the car (damn RTA/traffice/holidayers) was the longest 14 hours of my life. Just so glad to be home.

I did have an awesome time - its a shame that one thing had kind stuck to my mind about the entire Byron Bay experience. I definately learnt alot in that week. *nods*

I'll do a thorough recount on my week tomorrow. I think its absolutely safe to say that i had THE BEST NEW YEARS EVE EVER!!!!!!!! Magical i tells ya. I was amazing!! I think any new years after this would be pretty hard to top.

:) ok. going to rest. im sick, feverish and exhausted. AND, i have work on monday. Farking oath. Gnight space cadets.
