    <content type="html">&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well well, TAFE holidays, I thought I'd be enjoying them alot more than what I am. Staying up late is fun, but during the day I'm bored. Having time to read is exciting, I've just bought Mark Haddon's new book. I was excited as it's quite long, so&amp;nbsp;I was hoping it would take me more than a day to read it, but one day in, I'm two thirds through, so there goes that dream. It feels like a waste to only get one day of fun out of a book. I've decided to go to the local library and pay off the fee's, that way I can borrow lots of books, and pay for none of them, bargain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As some of you are aware, I've gotton my learner's car licence. I'm very excited, but dissapointed that it was met with the same celebration as when my brother got his, but blind Freddy could have seen that coming.&lt;br /&gt;I had alway thought it was the money that stopped me going for the test. But I realised that it was a confidence issue, actually thinking to myself that I could volunteer for a test, and bet $34 dollars on my ability&amp;nbsp;to pass it. I think the confidence I have gotton lately, mostly from my success at TAFE has shown me that I'm alot more capable then I give myself credit for. Which&amp;nbsp;some people&amp;nbsp;has been telling me for years, but up until lately, there was too much evidence to the contrary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I still expect myself to fail, but there's still a small amount of hope in my head that I might actually succeed. Last year, in two semesters of TAFE, I completed to modules. This semester that has just finished, I did five modules. I thought at the start, that I would start at five, and slowly quit most of them, like I did last year. But it never happened. I kept thinking that Infomation Technology was the subject that would get me, but I was told by the teacher that&amp;nbsp;my work was excellent. Then&amp;nbsp;I decided that maths would be the subject that I would quit, but I kept going, and the final exam went really well, with only a couple of questions that had me confused.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's interesting. The first time in four years, I'm not feeling like there is something wrong with me. I'm feeling like I am functioning like any normal human being , with no real symptoms to speak of. I found my mayan worry diary the other day, I had not made an entry in&amp;nbsp;a few months, I used to write in it a couple times a day, but now, I have any real troubles. It's a completely foreign feeling to me, but I think I'll get used to it. Maybe my confidence is rubbing off on people to, in the last couple of days, Josh has made huge progress. My psychiatrist said that I'm 'like a soldier" that I've been in the trenches for so long, everytime I lifted my head, someone took a shot at me. But now I'm looking up, and no ones firing, but I am still expecting them too. Soon enough I'll realise that I'm quite safe, and jump out of the trench and go on my merry way. It's all very exciting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, another thing that has happened, as a result of this new found confidence, I'm thinking of getting a job on the weekends to assist me in saving up for a car. I haven't thought in years that I would be able to hold down a job, especially with fours days of TAFE a week. But now I'm thinking that it might be alright. Now that I'm a more organised student, I can get my work done through the week, which&amp;nbsp;leaves the weekened free. Who knows, but I can always give it a try, and run away if it gets to much. Awesome. &lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">The word &lt;em&gt;gentleman &lt;/em&gt;originally meant something recognisable; one who had a coat of arms and some landed property.&amp;nbsp; When you called someone "a gentleman" you were not paying him a compliment, but merely stating a fact.&amp;nbsp; If you said he was not "a gentleman" you were not insulting him, but giving information.&amp;nbsp; There was no contradiction in saying that John was a liar and a gentleman; any more than there now is in saying that James is a fool and an M.A.&amp;nbsp; But then there came people who said--so rigidly, charitably, spiritually, sensitively, so anything but usefully--"Ah, but surely the important thing about a gentleman is not the coat of arms and the land, but the behaviour?&amp;nbsp; Surely he is the true gentleman who behaves as a gentleman should?&amp;nbsp; Surely in that sense Edward is far more truly a gentleman than John?"&amp;nbsp; They meant well.&amp;nbsp; To be honourable and courteous and brave is of course a far better thing than to have a coat of arms.&amp;nbsp; But it is not the same thing.&amp;nbsp; Worse still, it is not a thing everyone will agree about.&amp;nbsp; To call a man "a gentleman" in this new, refined sense, becomes, in fact, not a way of giving information about him, but a way of praising him: to deny that he is "a gentleman" becomes simply a way of insulting him.&amp;nbsp; When a word ceases to be a term of description and becomes merely a term of praise, it no longer tells you facts about the object: it only tells you about the speaker's attitude to that object.&amp;nbsp; (A "nice" meal only means a meal the speaker likes.)&amp;nbsp; A &lt;em&gt;gentleman &lt;/em&gt;is now a useless word.&amp;nbsp; We had lots of terms of approval already, so it was not needed for that use; on the other hand if anyone (say, in a historical work) wants to use it in its old sense, he cannot do so without explanations.&amp;nbsp; It has been spoiled for that purpose.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;What a tops weekend, started rather late on Saturday night, instead of boring family dinner, I decided to catch the train into Newtown to meet Daniel &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_spiral2spiral' lj:user='spiral2spiral' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://spiral2spiral.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://spiral2spiral.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;spiral2spiral&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for a "while the cat's away" sleep over. After discovering no trains were actually going to Newtown, Daniel kindly rescued me from Sydenham station.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Cue an evening of drinking four seperate types of alcohol, oh my. Can anyway say Absinthe? Holy shit...after a glass of that I was feeling pretty tops, with the addition of 70 year old canadian club (I always get showered&amp;nbsp;with expensive alcohol) vodka (I can't even remember what that was mixed with?), and the wine I had earlier in the night, things got rather entertaining.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But really, back to the absinthe, ha, I didn't think I was drunk, until I bent down to get my pjama's and almost smacked my head on the floor, haha, classy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cue a night of watching lots of scrubs, listening to Pink floyd, and Daniel insisting on us watching rage in the background, ha, then us both deciding on which songs were worthy of turning down floyd to listen, I can't remember what songs we picked? but they were fun, haha, we were much hoping for Interpol famous puppet clip, it didn't happen, &lt;em&gt;this time. &lt;/em&gt;;p Then enters the drunken heart to heart, oh my, we haven't had one of these for so long, it was awesome, I cried, ha, I always cry, haha.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;After much begging, I agreed to stop drinking and go to bed at half past three. In my drunken state I thought the foxtel channel (103 I think it was) was actually a clock, and that it was only one a.m. I had no answer for why it had been one a.m for the last so many hours......&lt;br /&gt;Bed was fun too, hooray for drunken spooning, awwww young love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel made a silly attempt to wake me up early for Seinfeld, I think I may have groaned and rolled over, I eventually woke up to Joanne ringing me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;"Jen, hey, are you okay?"&lt;br /&gt;"uhhhh jfiejnkrek laadkjsl absinthe, oh shit akkjareljrejrwkl good morning, hang on" &lt;strong&gt;*vomits*&lt;/strong&gt; "hi joanne, yeah I'm better now, see you in newtown"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holy crap, lovely Daniel drove me in, after much searching, Joanne and I found a funky looking italian place, I ordered a not so smart hangover option of a milkshake and creamy tortellini, oh man it was awesome, we ate way too much and decided to walk it off while Joanne looked for winter clothes. Again we ended up sitting in the park talking about boys and dogs, ha, what a weekend, two awesome friends, two hilarious days, and only one session of vomiting, that's got to be some kind of record. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Last day of TAFE, hoorah, I've definately earnt a holiday. Was hoping that my glasses would be ready for holiday study, but they aren't so I might spend the next two weeks getting up to no good instead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plans to see Jo, hopefully Daniel, and plans to go drinking with my brother, Adam and Russel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Things are looking good, been busy drawing and all sorts of relaxing things, been feeling great, like a bird released.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking about going on adventures again, with my cameras, When I lived on Horsley drive, I used to wonder around with my mini street directory, and find all sorts of interesting parks, with lizards and&amp;nbsp; birds, all sorts of things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Rookwood will probably be my first port of call, that place has amazing history and lots of interesting hidey holes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight will be my second Aqua aerobics class, it's so fucking funny, there are awesome ladies that do it, hilarious, bouncing around with those pool noodle things, my legs haven't recovered from Tuesday yet, it's alot harder than what I imagined, hopefully tonight&amp;nbsp; I won't embarrass myself too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's something about adventures, they always seem to turn up exactly what&amp;nbsp;you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/Solipsist/pupandracheal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how much Racheal likes the new puppy....haha, She wants to kill it.</content>

Mum bought a puppy today, silky x scottie, an incredibly cute little thing.&lt;br /&gt;It's a female, but has no qualms about stirring shit with my other dogs, she also has expensive tastes, has already had a chew on my hush puppies and jag handbag, the little shit, but she's cute, so she can do what she wants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another exciting addition to my home...my birthday present from Mr USA himself...Daniel! Thanks for my Seinfeld dvd's!! I've already watched about five episodes already!

    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="Courier, Courier New"&gt;'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood&lt;br /&gt;When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud&lt;br /&gt;I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured&lt;br /&gt;I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word&lt;br /&gt;In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved&lt;br /&gt;Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.&lt;br /&gt;Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,&lt;br /&gt;Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,&lt;br /&gt;Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. &lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there&lt;br /&gt;With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.&lt;br /&gt;She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost&lt;br /&gt;I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.&lt;br /&gt;Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount&lt;br /&gt;But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts&lt;br /&gt;And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove&lt;br /&gt;And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.&lt;br /&gt;Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes&lt;br /&gt;I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.&lt;br /&gt;I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line&lt;br /&gt;Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.&lt;br /&gt;If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.&lt;br /&gt;"Come in," she said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you shelter from the storm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a lovely day, was taken by Prince Django, to the Belgian beer cafe in The rocks. Very awesome, I tried muscles, and had vol lu vents with chicken and mushroom, Django got something even better, chicken with lucifer sauce, that was yummo. We were pigs and asked our Madonna look a like waiter for three different kinds of desserts, sticky toffee pudding, waffles and the "lovers plate" oooohhhh. It was fun, it had all different types of chocolatey things, with sparklers and a shot glass full of pink stuff, with dry ice in it, so it was all foggy, very cool. I was later dared to try the pink liquid, which I did, it tasted like pink stuff, and I didn't die, so that was a bonus.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Me being obsessed the show Alias these days, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my spy skills, taking things out of Django's pockets without him noticing, stealing his wallet. It's all very entertaining, my goal for the night was to steal the napkins off the people sitting next to us, I kind of tried, but chickened out, very dissapointing, I'm not quite at Jennifer Garniers level yet.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tafe is crazy, four days a week is pretty hard for me to get use to, but I'm going along okay, having the advantage of already doing the course for the year, I'm like the veteran that sits up in the back of the class and knows everything, it's very ego enhancing, but at the same time annoying, as the teachers have to constantly repeat themselves so the "newbies" understand, its all very boring for me, but I think they'll get the hang of it soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to the optometrist today, I have a problem with my eyes focusing, if I read a book, they focus on the words,and "lock it in" so when I look up, I can focus on things that aren't close, it makes me feel drunk, and gives me headaches.&lt;br /&gt;I was given these funny spectacle things, and have to practice certain eye exercises each day, all very exciting, looking forward to doing them infront of Django, as he will find it cute, and I will in turn get forehead kisses for being adorable, awesome!! In two weeks I go back, if there is no improvement, the dude said we'll give glasses a go.&lt;br /&gt;He didn't want to give me glasses straight away, as I told him I had glasses two years ago and they weren't that good, I was too embarrassed to say I suspect it was because the past optometrist was too busy looking at my boobs, to actually know what the hell he was doing, that was scary, in a dark room, with a weirdo, who kept lowering the seat. ANYWAY!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;This guy was tops, he looks a shit load like the dude that played Truman Capote, I kept expecting him to narrate the eye test with a funny childs voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats my story, more maths homework to do now!!! YAYYYYYYY &lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>Hong Kong? That's far away</title>

    <content type="html">Well, My darling little Prince has gone off to Hong Kong, I crawled out of bed at quarter to eight this morning to go see him off at the airport. After only going to bed after four, I consider it a miracle that I made it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He only went home at two thirty a.m, so it didn't leave too much time for sleep. He was going to leave earlier, but quote I'm "too pretty to walk away from", awwww. That or he just wanted to watch the end of Curb your enthusiasm, lol.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yes, we had a lovely farewell night, chinese for dinner (the food, not the people, lol again) We watched Curb, and not much else, it was all very sweet, and romantic, by the end of the night I was getting a little bit "oh no, you're leaving!!!" But handled it with my normal lady like composure. I got to the airport at nine thirty, even earlier than I had hoped, so again, I'm awesome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;For my troubles, I was treated with a orange juice, and a very thoughtful magazine, that he bought for me as it had a article on Steve Irwin, double awwww.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it got to eleven we (his family included) walked to the gate thing, where I found out that I wasn't aloud to go with them to the gate, gay, no watching him fly off into the sky, very unromantic, poo to you International airport, poo. As we were walking (I'm going to get&amp;nbsp;killed for saying this) Django said , "awww" I said "what's wrong?" he replied "I'm getting a little bit sad, I'm going to miss my Jennie" I started laughing, which wasn't the response he was hoping for "stop laughing! You're suppose to be sad too!!" ha, lovely boy. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;So yes, we had a lovely goodbye, with kisses and hugs, and me trying to make a minimal amount of jokes about him dying in a plane crash, or ending up living on a tropical island with a guy from Party of Five, and a fat dude that never loses weight regardless of the continued lack of food. But seriously, it was nice, and I hope the flight went well, the poor barstad can't sit still for two minutes, (we proved last night he could do it for one, but I doubt two is a possibility.) So I have no idea how he would go on a nine hour flight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a completely unrelated note, I randomly saw my ex boyfriend Andrew at Central station on the way home, had a good catch up, been years since i've seen him, he looks exactly the same. I told him how I had been planning to send him xmas card this year, for various reasons, so I promised to do that. He's messaging me now, I thought it was going to be Django telling me he got there safe. Damnit. I hope he did, I made alot of plane crash jokes, hmmm. He'll be fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, in other news, a dinosaur tried to eat me today, it was so fucking freaky. They had this animatronic (is that a word?) dinosaur, from that walking with dinosaurs show, it was walking around, in this little display at parramatta, it was pretty big , I was filming with my phone, and it came up to me and went RAHHHHH and put its whole fucking mouth over my head, I was seriously shitting my pants, I can't wait to show Django the video, you can hear me going "OH MY GOD!!!" haha, gold!! I wanna go to that thing now, tickets are like $60, pretty cool I reckon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, EVENTFUL day!!!</content>

    <content type="html">Been&amp;nbsp;a while since I've said G'day. The most exciting thing that has happened lately is I've actually achieved a whole year at TAFE, which for yours truly, is pretty tops. Today I handed in my 4000 word essay that I worked for weeks on, I'm quite proud of it, and hope I will get a decent mark, as its worth 60% of my final.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The exam that was worth 40% went most awesome, 37/40, excellent.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second most exciting thing, is that my beautiful prince, (not Mozart, the other one, Django) hehe, gave me his little fishlings, as the novelty had wore off, and he couldn't really be bothered to look after them, so I scored them. We moved it in a few weeks ago, and I was good and patient and waitied til yesterday to get some new fish. &lt;br /&gt;I got two flame gourami, to pearl gourami, and five blind cave fish. So very fun, the&amp;nbsp; blind cave fish (all named Stevie Wonder), dont have any eyes, so they swim into the side of the other fish!&amp;nbsp; It's hilarious. The Pearl Gourami are both called Patsy, and the flame Gourami are called Eddy (absolutely fabulous) . The flame ones are called Eddy, as they are the red ones, and she's got red hair on the show, jee's keep up people!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's my two exciting tales for today, I'll put some fishy photos up when I can work out how, its seem live journal has changed and was use to work, doesn't anymore.</content>
