i am back in hamilton after a lengthy stay over in the east of newie. it's curran's birthday today so we (the housemates) went out to dinner. we had thai which was very yummy. we went and got cold rock ice cream afterwards. i had macadamia ice cream with snickers crushed through it. very nice, might have to get that one again.


when we got home i decided to organise my spices. its a job i had been putting off but i had finally collected enough glass jars to make a good start. they all look very neat and tidy now. i just wish i had food to cook with so i could take advantage of my extensive spice collection.


after organising the spices i cleaned the kitchen. i decided to move the bread from one corner over to the corner near the toaster as it makes more sense for it to be there for easier toasting access.


my right wrist is going through a bit of pain while i'm typing at the moment. while i was trying to put some of cass's hair up her nose - not that is would have reached - she bit my wrist very hard. the pain was bareable at the time but it has been stinging since and now i'm experiencing hand cramps. it's quite hurty.


there's something really beautiful about feeling completely content with the way things in your life are going. something inside just melts and even if there are shitty things as well they just fade away. i know its mushy but it's how i've been feeling recently.


oh, before i go. i strongly recommend hot chips dipped in ice cream.

no one warned me that there's NO alcohol in poatina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if i had knwon i would have smuggled some down with me.... i'll have to try and get some in Launceston.... not that i'm some sort of alcoholic... but it's just not normal for a place to have an alcohol ban.... i mean, you've seen it on the simpsons - it's just all gets crazy....

once again i find myself back in hornsby. i was at westfield this afternoon waiting for ryan by the fountain and found it quite surreal. there's so many more people in any one place here compared to newcastle. so many more white pants wearing girls too. i don't understand how they are always kept so white...it must be the work of nappysan.
it's 1am. the wind chimes outside are blowing in the breeze and singing a nice tune. the clock is ticking along. i am trying to tip toe across the keyboard as quietly as possible, i don't want to wake the parents as we have to be up 6am to get ready to leave for the airport. the plane leaves at 8:45am for melbourne where there is a forty five minute wait until the next plane to Launceston. I think we arrive there around midday.
i wish we had longer in melbourne. it's a very beautiful place. even when you're running around in the streets soaking wet from the rain gushing down on you.
i hope that i do enjoy tasmainia. i think i probably will. although i am going to miss newcastle a lot, even though i'll only be away for 5 more days.
i hope there's some sort of pub in poatina. just so it feels a bit friendlier. i'm sure it will be a friendly place.. but more in a god loves you sort of way...but of course i'm one of those nasty homosexuals so who knows what sort of reception i'll get.
i get to see kaia though and that's the main thing. it's really a shame that at a point in our lives when kaia, adam and i are all over all the sibling shit that goes on we are all living more then 2hrs from eachother and don't get to spend time with eachother. i think the space is what has let us see eachother in a different light. it's a completely different thought process when you aren't battling eachother for the shower or the remote control.
my hands are dry. i had a long shower, which is always nice at midnight, and i didn't have any moisturiser...if i poked around the bathroom i'd probably find some though, it's not the most uncommon thing in the world.
i guess i should go and sleep a bit, have to be up in four and a half hours. i could always not sleep but i think my body would start a revolt. that reminds me i have to take my meds.
i might start reading my new book i got for the plane trip. Lighthouse keeping by jeanette winterson. i probably won't want to read on the plane, watching the clouds is too interesting.....i hope i have a window seat.
sleep now.
goodnight.
