    Where I'm at: Body Mind Heart and Soul
    Body

    Health wise, I'm doing well, though I could be better. I've signed up for gym membership, and I'm hoping to get my stomach flattened and toned. I've been working on my diet, though I have to say it was already better than average. Must avoid university chips and pasta at all cost.
    I've been doing volunteer work in Youth Conservation Corps, once a week usually, full day of work. It's good to be out of town and active regularly.


    Mind

    The biggest improvement is due to joining YCC. I hadn't reallised how much I was being dragged down by being in the city constantly. I have strong hopes of getting double credits or better. I've got Statistical Practice and Zoology II this semester. Neither are my preferred areas, and yet I'm enjoying them. A very good sign. Next year will be all third year subjects.
    Still somewhat absentminded, but that's not likely to change... still I'm getting better at using organization routines.


    Heart

    I dedicate most of this to Simon, who is currently in Melbourne area, doing Masters in Forestry. I will be joining him briefly in the mid-semester break. And if I decide to share, most of my activities there should come under 'Body'! Aside from that, I look forward to tasting the blackberry wine he's brewwed! I hear good reports of it from his class mates. He has also joined the CFS, which is very good for healing his soul.
    For other people in my heart: There are too many to mention, which is a large weakness for me, but one that I wouldn't give up. I have more close friends than ever, though I miss some of the old ones. In the months of Simon's absence, I had a couple of particular learning experiences. I wont say they were good or bad in effect, and Simon knows about them. But I understand a lot more than I did about relationships now. I am less critical of others, which is definitely a good thing, and my relationship with Simon has grown because of it.


    Soul

    Spiritually, I have grown and changed. It is harder to say I am christian these days. I see again all the fallacies in the faith, aside from the idiocies committed in the name of it. And yet I found again, outside of the church, and in spite of it, the way that truth can be different from fact. Dreams of flying again fill my sleep. I won't say anymore on this now, it feels to private.

    I have made a new set of friends recently, in the Australian furry community. A wonderful bunch, it's so good to be able to snuggle up to anyone in the group, without sexual innuendo, and just enjoy physical contact, fun, and companionship. I also love them for what they are. So beautiful inside.



    I must end this here. I have many things to do, and will probably remain only a sporadic poster on LJ. I wish you well, and love to all, and I'm sorry to many people I hold dear that I haven't spoken to personaly...

    I am Returned!
    Hey to all people!

    There are so many songs describing how I feel now; Alive, energized, more real, more awake. Because my love is back with me. Not more organized unfortunately, but you can't have everything!

    Simon is BACK! His immigration has been approved, he's looking for a job and sorting out his gear.

    There's some conflict between us, which is unfortunate, but understandable. After being apart for so long, we've forgotten a lot of the small quirks we have, so we need to regain balance.
    ... I hate to acknowledge it, but I'd be a fool not to; it is possible that our relationship will not hold out. A major factor in that is my difficulty in getting through university. I don't know who's more frustrated by it.

    So much to do! And I'd better get back to it.
    Still got assignments to finish.

    Out of Touch
    Hey people!

    So many times in the past weeks I've thought, "I really should write that up" or, I'll post that today!" And it never happens. :(
    Yesterday I was on the go from 6am to 10pm. An unusually busy day, but going a fair way to explaining why I haven't written anything up.

    My first PubCrawl in FOUR YEARS of uni! It's amazing that I didn't get dragged off on one of them before, but I had a vested interest in going for this one. The new Adelaide Uni Pride has been developing will this year, having reformed from its predecessor, Ten Percent (which died between 2 and four years ago, depending on how you look at it).
    We had around 50 people along during the night! I got to know about 4 new people, which isn't too bad for me I guess.


    Simon gets back in 40days!


    I'm battling with a Rubik's Cube, for which I have ALL of one side (face and edges) in the right places, plus most of two other sides, and some of the remainder. Getting any further is really trying my mental capacity.

    Anyway, need to get back to work on chemistry.

    We have a DATE!
    SIMON IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN ADELAIDE @ 16.40, October 20th.

    *SQUEEE*

    It feels so good to finally know a _day_ rather than a general month. Now I can count down the days. There are 63 days and about 5hours till I see him again!


    Something funny:
    Yesterday was Open Day at Adelaide Uni. Lots of high school students looking around, and clubs have an opportunity to advertise their existence. Adelaide Pride was there with a table, pamphlets, a big rainbow banner, advertising for events, and four A4 sheets with corny slogans like "Feeling a bit QUEER today?"
    One of these was "Finding it hard to think STRAIGHT?"
    A number of adults commented on this one, along the lines of 'Yeah it gets a bit hard to think at times.' and then asking what the group was about.
    The _funniest_ incident was a guy with his daughter, about 8 or 9 years old, who asked us, and his daughter answers for us; "So... are you gay dad?"
    So cute!

    Gya.

    And now, on with homework!

    Hello the camp!
    Hey people!

    It's been seven months since I updated here, sorry for long absence.
    University has been up and down a lot. Mostly up this year!
    Last semester I was supposed to be doing two second year subject, half way through I got pulled out of one because I'd already done it (NOBODY picked this up until half way through. Ask if you want me to explain further).

    I'm currently doing Chemistry II and Ecology II.
    Simon is due back in Australia sometime in October. I don't have a definite date for that yet, but I'm going to arrange something for his birthday on the 1st of November. :D

    ... 10 months without him is hard.


    In other news, I signed up for a training program for Volunteer Youth Workers. I'd been trying to get into this line of work a while ago, but didn't have any official experience, and lacked paper skills. I've got some friends in the business though that gave me a shout when this came up.

    So. I'm going back to keeping my grades up.
    Hey to all!

    Happy New Year!!! (on the dot)
    It seams that it was destined that I end up here at 12am in the new year.
    I left home at 7.25pm to get a train into the city, to get to D's place.

    Guess what? Trains on my end of the line are canceled until further notice. Heat has caused the line to buckle. Waited for shuttle bus to take us to the working end. Get picked up 20mins later. Wait 15minutes at train station. Train arrives. Announcement that the train will be leaving for city in half an hour.

    Arrived in city at 10.40pm.

    Went to D's on foot, thoroughly peeved with public transport. Arrived at 11.05. No one there. Last bus already gone. Caught taxi back to town.

    Somehow, I'm still happy?

    Merry Christmas and Holidays
    Hello everyone!

    I've returned from my 17 days of adventure and fun in Singapore! So sorry for nit updating during the trip; I did keep notes on each day and I'm typing up a summery.

    Important points; I have prezzies for Skipsida and Co. and for SCA folk, and numerous other people. I have a plushy Moon-jellyfish for one of my lecturers! It's so cute!

    Pictures will be coming, as soon as I can work out what's wrong with the camera. Either the rechargable batteries are not recharging, or something is wrong with the battery connections. :(

    Anyways, hey to all, and hope your at least relaxing, if not having spectacular fun and joyousness! ^^

    Helllooo!
    In Darwin now!
    Got in at 1am thismorning, got to the youth hostel at 3am, and got to sleep about 4.30. it is now 7.30 here.

    I've got a bucketload of candy in my lugage, which I hope customs doesn't have a problem with. ^^
    I'm looking at going for a wonder soon, see what there is to see. It's like being in a mild sauna for me here, I'm told it will get worse later in the day.

    Will write more from Singapore.

    Love to all!

    Leaving SOON
    In two weeks I'll be in Darwin, on my way to Singapore!
    I'll be spending twelve days there, staying at Simon's, and I will be arriving back in Adelaide at 6am on Christmas Morning! :O

    In recent events:

    I went to a hair salon run by asian women, on a friends recommendation, and asked for 'shoulder length cut, and a trim at the back of the neck, underneath the long hair. After pining up my hair out of the way, the first thing she did was try to cut off my ear tufts!
    For those that don't know, I had grown the bits of hair, just above where the sideburns grow, into curled tufts which usually sat nicely behind my ears but which I could pull out in front of them to form a pair of weird ear tufts.
    I freaked, and told her off, explained again what I wanted, and she did it again!

    Cut a long story short, she was not good on english and about equaly bad in skill. She cut my hair really uneven (more than an inch difference between sides) I couldn't tie it all back, there were chunks out of the hair line at the back of my head, a big chunl at the front where she cut off one of my tufts.
    I didn't have to pay for it.

    I got it fixed at a differant hairdresser. It's going to take a long time to re-grow my tail though. :(


    Happy News!!!!!!


    SIMON KILLED THE KING OF LOCHAC!!! Yay!!!
    Ok the king was going easy on him, it being Simon's first tournament, but he was still very impressed. And his squire _wasn't_ going easy on him, and Simon one that fight too!
    I owe him a Large fish.

    Further News on that *&^#$ Place called Centrelink
    So much for the helpful Centrelink assistant. Today I had my requisite Work Capacity Evaluation (I think that's what it was called). The evaluator was helpful, or at least well intentioned. She also had a voice that rose steadily in volume and an extreamly aggressive way of making suggestions.

    This quickly stressed me out to the point that I was shaking and almost lashing out on instinct, and put Mum off to the point that it took at least two repetitions for her to take things in.


    To cut it short, I've got a stack more of paper work to fill out, at least two more interviews to look forward to (with different departments), I'm so tired I keep dosing off in the middle of writing this, and I really, _really_ want to break something.

    Tomorrow, Tonight, ThisMorning, LastNight & Yesterday Evening from LastWeek
    (This was written last Thursday evening. But I couldn't post for some reason)


    In that order:

    Tomorrow I am totally screwed, because my essay is due in, and despite devoting the last 7hours plus many days over a period of weeks to the job, I have very little of it done. I cannot get my head working on it. Simon will be back tomorrow, and I'm going to have to tell him that I've done a miserable job at it, and he will likely be more forgiving than I deserve. Why oh Why can't I get it done?! :(

    One possible reason is that I've been stressed out over unrelated issues. This morning I spent from 9 to 11.30am in an interview with a centrelink worker. The worker was not the problem, she was incredibly helpful! The bloody system is f@*#ing retarded! More than a month ago centrelink sent me a letter asking for my enrolment details and other information because their computer detected an inconsistency etc,etc. Again. Same as last year, except this time I got all the papers they wanted, plus their letters from last year (to remind them that we have been through this!) and it still didn't satisfy them. I got another letter later saying that my pay had been cut and if I did not provide the following: (insert blank area in letter) - within two weeks then I may be liable for charges.
    So a whole lot of time has been spent sorting out that bloody mess. I'm still pissed of and I'm probably still going to have more paper work thrown at me over it.


    That was this morning. Last night I had very little actual sleep. Most of it was spent in a sort of dose. What I dreamed was weird as hell at the time; it felt like an AOOB; Almost Out Of Body. I was seeing myself at very close range from different angles, with sensations of sliding around on the end of a wire that was attached to my body. That’s all there was to the dream, and it went on for quite along time before I woke up properly at 4am. Lots of fun trying to get back to sleep.


    Last night before bed, I had a very good talk with Mum. It started with me asking her if she accepted Simon and myself as a couple. She never did give a definite answer to that question, but she did explain why she couldn't answer it: Simply put, she doesn't know if she even understands our relationship, but she will not reject us, no matter what. We talked about a lot of things; family, siblings, past mistakes, residual guilt. There was a lot.
    She said, very early on in the conversation, that 'Family will always be there for you: I don't think you really understand that yet.’
    She was right; I don't feel so connected to my family. Partly from a whole pile of mistakes and misunderstandings, on both sides, partly because I very rarely feel connected to anyone.

    And now I've had a good rant over my problems, I can get some of my work done.
    Goodnight or goodmorning! Depending where you are.

    I felt sad, because Simon, and other friends of mine, will never have those words from their parents. Simon's mother and father have both said that they will always be there for him, but they compete with each other for Simon's loyalty, and I fear that both use the statement as just another ploy in their contest.
    I am so very grateful to my mother. She has made mistakes, and she has had bad times. But she listens when I tell her she has gone too far or been unfair on Matthew through frustration. She listens when I open my heart to her. I hope that in time, Simon and my mother will become close enough for him to open himself to her as well.



    And now that I feel embarrassed, and I've had a good rant over my problems, I can get some of my work done.

    Many an Improvement!
    I feel Good!
    This is great, and I don't think it's the temporary, I'm-going-to-fall-flat-on-my-face-when-the-high-finishes, type of happy either. I'm not depressed, I'm not high; I'm feeling almost normal. That's incredibly weird for me.

    Ok, after my supplementary exam, which unfortunately overlapped the AVCon, Uni term started straight away, and I only enrolled the night before. Three days into term, I switch one of my classes on the advise of the Course Co-ordinator, I started on a new prescription of medication on that Saturday (the dexamphetamine-sulphates weren’t working anymore, just making me jittery and tired), I fell asleep in the middle of two classes on Monday (withdrawal from speed). I’m good now, and there’s more good news!

    Studies are going well at Uni, I’m in Analytic Chemistry II, and Biology Organisms. I’ve got friends in both classes, which is a first, and that will help tremendously _if_ things start getting hard again.

    I’ve got my passport, to get to Singapore at the end of the year; going to meet Simon’s parents and friends. (Note to self: Remind Simon that he needs to tell them about me soon…)

    Simon was Authorised last Sunday as a sword fighter in the SCA! That means he’s safe and competent, knows the rules, and is allowed to sign up for tournaments and competitions. We celebrated that night, had lots of fun.

    There have been other things, but that’s the main ones.


    BTW. Mum told me about something I said at the very beginning of school, at the age of about 5. She said that two days after school started, she asked me how I liked it.
    I replied:
    “Some people don’t like me yet, because they don’t know who I am yet.”
    That says a lot I think, about my perception of the world. I was very naïve, and expected that people were basically sensible and honest, and I couldn’t see any reason, once people got to know each other, that they shouldn’t _like_ one another.

    No wander I was so confused for so long. *shrug*
    Ok, so I’m an idealist, I don’t see any reason to change that. Or rather I can, but I think the reasons to not-change are better.

    Blessings to all! Sing, love, and live well.
    And I forgive any people who find this too icky-sweet. :D

    AVCon was good, although I only got to the second half of it, cause I had a sup exam on Saturday morning (convention ran from Friday to Sunday).

    Awaiting results from that, getting this semester organised while going to classes that might be irrelevant anyway, getting passport application finished, trying to read material for the next Synod meeting, trying to establish a good homework practice early.

    Yup, just the usual.


    How was your week?

    Update Finaly
    It feels like forever since I was here last, I'm afraid I've been closing myself off alot in the past months.

    Lately the only forum I've been attending regularly is the one I was refering to in my last post. I've finally joined a RPG online. It's bassed in the Gundam Seed universe, for those who are into anime.

    It's a post by post thing. I had lots of fun enitialy designing my unit. (there's a huge list of available items to chose from, with a point system dictating how much I can get.)

    That was then. I'm still in it, but going slow becuase of uni work.

    Since I last posted, I've had another emotional breakdown. That cuased a lot of problems in study.

    I'm working in revision now for exams, I will almost definately change courses to Environmental Chemistry next semester. Chem seams to be the only subject I can reallly work consistantly at.

    I'm going to the AVCON this year. I'm not puting a whole lot of effort into the costume I'm afraid, just don't have the time. Simon is puting a lot of thought into his. I wont spoil his entrance though! :D It's looking awsome.


    I need to get FF7 back from Skipsida. Need it for referance for a certain scene.

    This Months Happenings
    Just about everything.

    I just reallized that it has ben more than a month since I last updated.


    I am extreamly tired, in need of two consecutive _good_ nights' sleep, and I have the usuall start-of-year homework overload.
    Please read that as a statement rather than a complaint.

    SCA Newcomers' Feast is tomorow night, tonight is SCA open-house at Drake & Blod's.
    I'm sleeping over at Simon's.

    There _has_ been a lot of good stuff happening, but I just cannot remember the specifics.

    Next post will be on nerd-i-ness. If it isn't, yell at me.

    *thump* *snore*

    Update on a VERY busy week
    It has been less than 2 weeks since simon got back from Singapore, but it really and honestly feels more like a month.

    In that time I have;
    helped Simon move house twice (see below for reasons),
    cut the lawn twice and done the edging once,
    cleaned my room *shock!*,
    helped clean the house out,
    helped clean brothers house out *SHOCK!!*,
    helped get brothers house ready to host friends 21st birthday party,
    went to birthday party,
    sorted out my uni timetable for this semester,
    cooked dinner for Simon's housemates (1st house),
    slept over at Simons,
    helped Simon shopping for house necessities (2nd house).


    Simon had to change housing arangements because the room he _was_ moving into, while it was newly built and just being finished, the insurance company told the landlady that if she was going toi have a 5th bedroom in the house (its a lodging house for overseas students) she would need a second toilet. A real pitty to, the landlady was a really nice person, living just next door, and the place was just on the edge of Marialta Reserve.


    Unfortunate Happening
    The dog killed the bluetounge lizard that we had been trying to keep comfortable out the front. The lizard originaly made itself a home in the backyard, we moved it's home to the front and tryed to keep it there. Apparently it wondered into the backyard and the dog caught it about 1pm. I'd left the house at 12, mum got in at three. It's a real pain to loose it when we were out for such a short time.
    I was not happy with the dog.



    Has anyone here seen a short animated movie called "Elephants Dream"?
    The guy who's 21st BDay it was; he was the lead graphic artist.

    I'll update the "Gryphon Anatomy" post soon.

    Bye all!

    About Me
    I'm currently trying to sort out Uni subject for this year.
    I'm enrolled in a BSc, Sustainable Environments.

    I'm tired but happy 'cause I slept over at Simon's place last night, we got horny, but we didn't really finish it. It was comfortable and lazy.
    I am trying to find a gender-preference term for "attracted to androgyny". Anyone help on that point?
    I am rather androgynous myself.

    I am saving up this year (need to get about $2000 together) for a trip to Singapore to meet the parents.
    I am a good cook.
    I am not good at communicating verbally.

    I love the land.

    I can't think of much else to say at the moment. :D

    Current Mood: relaxed
    Current Music: Silence
