Next Friday (5th March) is the first day of the Newcastle Show so there is no tafe because of 'show day'. It makes me laugh, although it's sort of good because now i can go to sydney on the thursday and work for the day on friday. My old health outreach work place accidently paid me for 6 hours work instead of paying the person that actually worked so now i owe them 6hours. i could have just money ordered the money back to them but on top of what they have already paid me they are going to pay me for the 4 hours travel i will have to do to get there and back. swell.

i live so close to the beach but don't really go very much. i guess the beach is somewhere you go with people, friends, partner etc.. most of my friends in newcastle seem to be pretty busy people or they go out at night and sleep most of the day when it would be a nice time to go to the beach.
sometimes i miss sydney, but then when i am there ll i want to do is jump straight on the next train home to newcastle, and sometimes i have done this, even if it means arriving back and midnight.
the things i miss about sydney probably just seem silly to other people... like, i miss catching a train from hornsby to the city, eventhough its a tedious task i still miss it. i also miss the pumpkin curry you can get from the food court underneath grace bros in pitt st mall. i miss the scarey ibis' in hyde park. i miss oxford art supplies. i miss talking forever to get anything down in hornsby westfield because or running into so many people i know.
i miss friends that will drop what they are doing to go grab a coffee, or even just plan a few days a head to catch up.
i sometimes feel alone in newcastle. but i sometimes feel alone in sydney as well. i think it's an odd concept, feeling alone, when there are so many people around.

a while has passed since i last blogged but not a lot of interesting stuff has happened really. tafe started back on the 9th so i've pretty much just been here. i don't have the net at home at the moment which is annoying but i might grab some pre-paid this arvo. windows keeps informing me i have to register xp. bah.
i'm on break from sculpture at the moment. i have balsa wood wood dried on my finger tips - it will be fun to peel off later on. everyone keeps complaining about working with balsa wood but i think its rather neat.
ryan, my mashed potato eating has been wuite lonely..... i make one potato at a time.
kaia....i am blogging, happy? i am making your cd still.. its taking a while because i keep getting distracted.
i filmed a train going through the crossing last night and it looks pretty cool.
i am trying to convince the parents to pay for me to come down to tassie with them in april but they are still unsure as to whether they are actually going to go. bleh.
