I wish I had enough money to move out. More than once a day I find myself looking at one of my parents and resenting the fact they’re still just there. Well more to the point I resent the fact that I’m still here. It’s so selfish as well because they’re doing everything in their power to ensure I get the best start in life (my uni course dosen’t offer the chance for me to differ HECS payment . I love them for it. But I still just want them to be somewhere else, or me somewhere else. I just want to be apart from them.

And because of my money situation and the endless chase for my degree I’ve got Buckley’s chance.

Hopefully it’s just cabin fever and it’ll go away after my classes start again. I’d hate to spend all my time bothered by the people who love me. I’d really hate to be a bother to them.

Lately I’d be content living alone on an island in the middle of nowhere just spending my days talking to monkeys and pawpaws.

Okay the reason I didn't post yesterday is that I had a wee bit of car trouble and ended up spending most of my day trying to catch up after waiting an hour for RACQ. Nothing drastic, just a flat battery, but my car is one of those with complicated electronics inside so I can't jump start it without completely killing the engine.

Yay! Practical I know.

Today however I am back on track and killing time until a meeting this evening. I could be more productive and rebuild my contacts on my ::new mobile phone:: but instead I think I'll tell you about something I learned of by pure chance.

Brandon Carl Vedas

Have you heard of Brandon? If you haven't you should visit 'his' site - and then take a moment to remember that your actions online directly impact on the life of another person. Don't behave any differently here than you would if you were meeting someone face-to-face.

Today was one of those days where remaining in bed would have been the best course of action. It looked promising outside my window when I got up but soon I saw the clouds come rolling in.

'Okay,' I thought, 'the rain will help with the water shortage and I'll just get some work done inside.'

So I got to work and was putting along quite nicely until suddenly 'Rain' turned to 'furious electric storm' and my internet pulled its usual "ahhhhh... scary lightning" routine and died.

So instead of getting work done I ended up having to wait a few hours for the internet to come back on. Apparently it's because my cable is routed through a hub somewhere a km away that is prone to flooding and the only way to avoid the problem would be switching to satellite because ALL telecommunications from my suburb run through that little beauty.

Anyway I came back online in a wee bit of a bad mood when BONUS I checked my email I found this waiting for me:

So thank you Sujit - you made my day!

Woo hoo! Officially a week on the web and I've already touched on porn, war, media bias and the fact my isp drives me batty. I've also pissed someone off to the extent that they 'hate me' and someone else thinks I 'suck' LOL - so at least people are emoting, even if I haven't written anything of value.
Tomorrow (well today actually seing as how it's after midnight) I'm going to impliment my new sidebar links. Over the last two days I've been trying to put something a little less slap-happy together. Maybe if I'm being really anal I'll link in name order! It's mostly for my benifit because this blog is my homepage and I use it first thing in the morning to check on the writings of my american brethrin. But I'm going to be adding a section for aussie blogs I like too. I will also have to pull my finger out and do the little about me section, so people can be wowed by my vague personal admissions.
See ya round.
