Is it natural to ache when a person is away? I'm busy reading up on Buddhism and the Atkins Diet. I'm thinking of entering a 12-week body transformation thing. A little platonic, I know.

I'll update on more soon.

I will not see a very dear friend of mine for a couple of weeks now. I know he's not going for long, and that I'll see him again soon. I already miss him though. I've been on more than necessary this weekend to try and catch him before he left. Didn't work. Oh well. I hope he has fun.

I haven't updated for a little while, so it was probably about time I did. I've been reading a lot more lately, which is a good thing. My research on the Atkins diet is halting to a close and I'm ready to start off from scratch. I've now moved onto 'If success is a game, these are the rules" - I know, I know. I'm feeling much more confident, motivated and inspired since I did. Who knows what lil ol' me can achieve? So look out for more of my written genius.


Thanks to Murph, my treasure mapping is coming along nicely. Thanks Murph :) I don't see you as often as I should these days.


What else? Work is a-okay. A bit busy, but lately I've been feeling like I belong there a bit more. I know work there won't be a 'forever' thing. I've admitted that, and I know there's a lot I need to learn before I move onto something new.


I've been thinking lately about getting an 'e-zine' together. There seems to be a lot around though, so I gather I'm probably best to just hold off for a little while, while I think it over a bit more. I'm finally getting my head around a screenplay idea I've had fermenting for about 6 months.


I have a few pictures to scan from my recent 'mini-road-trip' to the local Tableland region. One day I'll get around to scanning. I'm lazy, I know. I've come to grips with it ;)


Last weekend I went out with a couple of girls from work to dinner and then dancing. For those of you who don't realise, I'm a bit of a hermit and I don't have a very social, social life. I just loved going out! I'm feeling much more confident. A good thing, right?


Annoying the crap out of me: that nana-nana-nana bit out of that J-Lo song (I sing that continuously..grrrrr)


Deep seated passions o' the moment: Jewel & Ryan Adams, reading, exercise, water, all things R&B, my hair, the fact I'm getting smaller.


To read: The Shipping News, 1967, Afghanistan - How the War Began (so I can understand a few things), the Style Manual.

I saw the most wonderful movie yesterday. It made me cry. I can't remember the last time I cried when I watched a movie. Watch "Pay it Forward". A word of warning, it has Helen Hunt in it. For those of you who can't stand her.

I found this great article via Leo, who I found via Dawson

I wish I was more motivated to get the things I want. I really think there's so many things I could achieve so much, but the energy levels and the levels of motivation are so low. I need inspiration. I need to be more extroverted.

I want to write novels, screenplays and teleplays. I want to direct, produce and develop films, music and literature. I want to travel. I want more cameras, hah. I want a Degree in Communications/Journalism. I want to be famous, a noticeable public figure. I want to have the money to buy the materialistic items I want. I want a large house. I want a gorgeous husband who's smart, kind and loving. I want to be beautiful, envied and toned. I want to be healthy. I want to be invincible against criticism, bad moods and emotional weakness. I want to be someone else other than who I am now. I want to find myself. I want to find me.

Perhaps the most soul-defining moment for me, is the moment I realised I will never achieve anything I want to because I'm too lazy and too unmotivated. I am reaching a time in my life where direction is everything, and it's something I haven't got. Give me ambitions. Give me motivation. I'll perhaps do something about this all. Maybe not. We'll see.

I have to much to say, but I don't know whether it's appropriate to say what I want to say. I suppose it is my site though, and I have the right. Right?

Imagine a person you've spent the better part of three years on-and-off dreaming about spending the rest of your life with. You've thought about moving halfway across the world to just be with them, to build a life together, to accomplish things together.

One day this person turns around and tells you that they think you should stop seeing each other. This person is working hours that would prevent you two seeing each other anymore. You're told to forget about them. To move on.
