Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry...
I apologise that I haven't written in about a week. I've been away from home, and I don't really feel like writing right now.

Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about Salmon, and a brand new dance...
I suddenly had the urge to write about how Amanda and I met.
It was the first day of tech and, as I expected, I knew nobody. We'd just had a "Welcome Assembly", and I was sitting on some garden edging, because all the people I could see that were in my class didn't look like... My kind of people, should I say. This is where you find out that I am naturally a bogan, naturally because I learned it all from my parents and their friends as a kid. I have a labret and an eyebrow piercing, at the time I had messy, black, ass length hair and just generally looked like a dirty, hardcore bogan. Not dirty as in unclean, just for the record.
Only one girl had really made any eye contact, and smiled back when I smiled at her. She came and sat by me on the garden edging. She was wearing a mid-thigh length, gothic style black dress, heeled boots, stockings, had about five piercings in each ear and light blonde hair. The first thing she said was - "Fuck I need a smoke," and, of course, my reply was - "Fuckin' AYE!". We've been best friends ever since.
Our first criteria were, of course, a fellow smoker, a fellow smoke smoker, a fan of rock, metal, punk, etc. music. It was then that we had the luck to stumble upon Shardae, one of the most awesome fun girls I've met in my life. She is a mummy of one, has the most crack up boyfriend, an entertaining brother and some seriously hot friends. Cough, cough, somebody will know who I'm talking about, I'm sure. We have had some of the funniest times with Shardae, dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba, smoking, drinking, smoking some more. Even in class, we have the funniest conversations. They brighten up my day immensely.
That was just a little dedication, just to show some love and appreciation.

This Is The Black Collar Song...
"You're so much more fun when you can smoke drugs!" - Pascalle West to her sister Loretta, Outrageous Fortune.
Today we learn a valuable lesson - Don't take me op-shopping when I am under the influence. I managed to come out of the Greerton SaveMart with a fuchsia coloured suit jacket, a joker styled coat, a flower-child shirt and this lace THING. Honestly, they are pretty cool, but the point is - WHAT THE FUCK was I doing spending my hard earned money on clothes I most likely won't wear unless it's for a costume. Although, I do think it would be humerous to wear it to tech tomorrow. I study Fashion Design, so turning up in costume would be hilarious.
I am currently listening to Marilyn Manson. I am in a thoughtful mood. And I think my lung capacity has dropped to about 40%, which is slightly uncomfortable, in case you were wondering.
Amanda and I have this... Life plan, if you will. We have come up with a theory about where we'd be in five years' time. It goes a little like this..
"In five years, Amanda and Jordan will be sitting on the loungeroom floor of their scungy flat, drinking copious amounts of wine, hating men."
We discovered that it might be a litter sooner than five years away. For example, that is what we were planning tonight (minus the hating men, we never planned that) without even making the connection. Thank god I remembered my motto before it was too late!
There are a few other parts to our life plan. Around the five year mark, we are going to do a road trip of New Zealand. We will have our full motorcycle licences. We're going to road trip (still in a car) around Australia. We're going to save up to see the world. We're also hoping my other best friend Ellen will join us in our plan. To be honest, I'd say it's pretty epic.
Another thing I've been chuckling to myself about is a couple of old pictures I have of a certain something belonging to a certain someone, and a few compromising emails. They crack me up. They are kind of disturbing now I look back on them.
That's all for now, boys and girls.

She says wake up, it's no use breaking down...
They say when one door closes, another one opens. After the last few years, for a number of different reasons, I'm starting over. I'm adopting Pascalle West's motto - The Beautiful Positive. I opt for good and beautiful over nasty and huss. And what better way to start out the rest of my life than to clean up! My washing is on, the dishes are done, the vacuuming is done. Yes, boring, I know. If there is something I have learned from my experiences, it is that you can't go through life like a doormat. You can't let people you love take advantage of you. If they loved you, they wouldn't do that. You can't bend over backwards and move heaven and earth for somebody who doesn't appreciate it - your efforts will be either ignored or rejected. The issue with giving your all to anybody, be it a lover, a friend or even family, is that somewhere along the line, if not the whole way, you're going to find out how much you actually mean to them. More often than not, you'll be disappointed. Don't make the mistake of giving them chance after chance to prove themselves - they will believe that you'll stick around forever. Of course, everybody does make mistakes, whether they are lapses in judgment, outside influences and sometimes even fear. But there is a point were you have to say to yourself "Does this person actually care at all?". If it is excuse after excuse, I think you know that you haven't exactly got a winner there.
That brings me to where I am today. I am surrounding myself with people who care about me, people who bring the wonderful positive into my life, people who appreciate my trust, my love and my effort. I am organizing my time better, I am saving some money, I am having fun. And most of all, I am not living at somebody else's expense.
And on a slightly related not, today I saved a tiny mouse from the wrath of my dad's mouse trap. It had something wrong with it's leg, and I'm trying not to think about what kind of animal is going to be the first to eat it, but I had nothing suitable to keep it in until it got better. I feel quite bad, and if I could carry it around with me without (a) Getting sick, (b) Being looked at funny and (c) It jumping out of my hands and attempting to run away (even though it can only move in circles), I would. But, I can't. That's the way the world works I guess. The whole food chain, everything and everyone has to eat to survive thing.
I enjoy writing, and I will be trying to do it more often. But I highly doubt it will be anything interesting. It's simply for my own entertainment, and gives me an outlet to vent.
So kids, remember - Good and Beautiful over Nasty and Huss!
