Last night we had Amy’s 20th and had a bbq and drinks. Drinks started with midori/lemonade then punch (3/4 alcohol, 1/4 juice-it had a bite lol) and then back to the midori/lemonade. It ended with us belting our lungs out on Sing Star. We had a blast Anyone that could hear us would now be deaf, though. The guys said we sounded like cats being struck by lightning, lmao!

Ahoy! I’ve been offline for the past few days but I come bearing lots of photos Sensation was good fun but the majority of the Melbourne trip had so many fuck ups that we were all glad to be back home in Adelaide. I can’t be bothered going into it all but here are some photos of me, Bernie and the event. 36,000 people attended. The stadium holds 40,000. It’s image heavy and the full set can be seen at my Facebook.

Jen,

Part 1-2008: Loss & Love can be read here.

2008 gave me some great life changing experiences to be thankful for. I learned a lot about myself and life this past year and I have never felt stronger or more sure of myself.

In order of events:

Coming Out:
I came out to my family & friends at the beginning of the year. They were all accepting I feel very lucky because I know what some parents, relatives and friends can be like. It took me years to get to this point, I am so glad, relieved and over the moon to finally be out, proud and happy.

Remembering why I love my friends:
This one is for Candice back in May. You know what it is. I wouldn’t know what to do without you. <3

Coming Out at Work for the 1st time-with a positive response:
I had three different jobs this past year. The second one was back in April and I was asked out by a male co-worker. I didn’t have the balls to tell him I’m gay so I said I was already seeing someone. He was still embarrassed, though, lol In June I was at my most recent job and Janelle was trying to make conversation, asked me if I had a boyfriend, and not missing a beat I blurted out that I don’t date guys lol This told me I was comfortable with workers knowing my sexuality. People spreading news came in handy for the first time and the work was done for me-everyone knew. They were all accepting but I think that the head chef being a major dyke made it easier for me. Her and I didn’t bond though, she needed a personality transplant lol I was even able to discuss which celebrities I thought were hot with some of the guys and they were mature about it as well. One of the chefs, 23, he was a wanker about it at times (talking about hot lesbians) - he is the male that loves platinum, oven baked, rock hard round implanted lesbians… ie-what you see on bad porn. Eew!

Mr. B:
Mr. B… *swoons* Mr. B is Bernie, my baby that I’ve been with for 5 months. Why Mr.? She is uber butch so didn’t like being called ‘miss’ LOL I have never met someone that touches me the way she does (emotionally you perverts! ;)), makes me want to be the best I can, motivates me, inspires me, as she does. Meeting her and being by her side has changed my life for the better. I have learned and grown a lot with her, even in just 5 months. We share the same views and morals in life and I adore her. I couldn’t ask for a better girl. She is so caring, loving, understanding, funny, supportive and passionate in her interests and life. She doesn’t cook much which is good because I’m fucking hopeless at it so we’re at equal playing grounds LOL Though she does like to try and keep me out of the kitchen because I’m so clumsy and tend to break anything in my path LOL

Note: This is a reflective entry of 2008 but of the crappy parts of it. I’m dividing the good & bad into two entries because I write so much lol It talks about suicide so if that is triggering for you please skip this entry. This entry isn’t a pitty party so please kindly fuck off if that’s your opinion. Otherwise on with the entry.

2008: Loss & Love

Edit: (Part 2: 2008: Happiness on a stick - and in a can)

I don’t normally post private entries here, they’re almost always reserved for my LJ, but I’m really in need of some extra ears of support or input with a few things.

I had a nice day today, it was very relaxing. Quite warm, too. 28c 0_o It was too muggy, though.

Bernie spoilt me and bought me a P!nk ticket for her Funhouse Tour next year-I was over the moon with this. And Army Wives - Season 1 on DVD.

april, Lisa,

Ahoy! I’m still alive. I’ve been busy with work and when I wasn’t there I was sleeping-that industry (Hospitality) fucking sucks balls.

Which brings me onto my news: This Sunday is my last day where I work and also, Hospitality. I went into it to get away from retail (did it for 10 years) but it didn’t turn out to be what I want and the trading hours fucking suck. The girls in this industry are also MUCH bitchier than in retail-something I never thought possible 0_o

Things I won’t miss from Hospitality (I worked in Bistro & Bar):
- Split Shifts (12-2pm / 6-9pm)
- Cleaning cuttlery
- Pretending I give a fuck when whiny arse customers complain about their meal
- Being exhausted all of the time (no regular sleep pattern).

I will miss a few things, though:
- As much free Raspberry (fizzy drink/soda) as I want. I’m addicted to it.
- Knock off drinks

In the new year I will go into Admin work and take up some study.

Can you believe christmas is just around the corner?! Fuck me. I’m gonna finish my shopping on Monday.

I’ve finally got my scanner/printer back from the repairers *hugs it* The scanner is awesome and I have SO many magazines to scan. Angie is on a few covers atm and I also need to sort and scan my Mariska stuff. *squee*

I’m about to work on my ‘2008 Favourites’ meme that is going around. I do always love a good pic spam *nods* You should all do one as well!

EDIT: A new layout is up, as well. Nice and summery. In Aussie land it’s nice and sunny on xmas day. *loves summer*

april, Jess,

Finally got around to completing 99% of my DVD Collection.

It’s broken into TV Box Sets, People I collect on (Angelina Jolie, Mariska Hargitay, Drew Barrymore, Rachel Weisz, Julianna Margulies, Eva Mendes and Jayne Mansfield) and Random Titles not belonging to any category. Oh, and what I am missing from each set.

I was surprised to see that out of the 34 Angelina films that have been released to DVD, I am only missing 8! Sweet!

Mariska has done A LOT of TV work so it’s gonna take a while to track down all of those but I have made a nice dent so far into her collection. I’m buying what I can find but am more focused on collecting her major magazine articles right now. 7 seasons of SVU to cap ought to keep me busy for a while… 0_o

Drew’s list on IMDB has been updated quite a bit since my last visit. A lot of TV episodes have been added and a lot of voice acting films need to be found. But major films I don’t have many to get.

Rachel… I have been very, very slack in this collection the past few years. A few of my movies are burned (poor quality as well) so I need to get around to replacing them and I just haven’t been feeling her movies lately. She is still my #1 actress but for the love of god, choose some decent fucking roles, woman!

I am about halfway through Julianna’s collection which I’m quite happy about.

Eva I have just started collecting on so I haven’t got too many. Like Mariska I am focusing on collecting magazine clippings atm.

And Jayney, I have a grand total of two, LMAO!!! Indeed. Just started this collection. I haven’t watched Promises! Promises! yet, but I can assure you that you will know once I have

Clippings wise, holy fucking shit, I have a well over 200 full sized pages to sort out from Mariska, Eva, Julianna and Charize to sort out. Fuck! I’ve been collecting for a while now but haven’t had time to sit down and file them all.

I rarely read fics over at fanfiction.net but I decided to browse for a/o last night and came across one that was written in October 2004. I also decided to read the reviews and was highly amused at some of the attitudes. This fic was nice romantic fluff. The most ‘erotic’ thing that happened was loving kisses on the lips (no tongue) and them watching each other sleep. Check out the responses:

“i opened this submution thinking it was a scene writin for a normal episode and find this demented ** up view of alex an olivia. all i have to say to the writer is that he/she is one twisted ** up son of a **. thank you VERY MUCH for destroing my view of oliva(my fav character) and view of alex (my sisters). ill never be able to watch them with out seeing mental pictures again.”

“Wow. You have a perverted and crazy mind. But I do see where you are coming from. In my opinion, they could both pass as lesbians. The story was funny yet disgusting at the same time. I will never look at them the sme way the next time I watch the show.”

LMAO!!! Um, wow… Fuck me, how I wish I had their emails to send them some good kinky a/o fics ;D

0_o… Luckiest girl alive? Ok, I’m jealous.

The following people need to die asap:

Miley Cyrus
Katy Perry
Victoria Beckham
