my present from Paul…

Our Franny,
Our mate Fran 27, we often miss her glow,
But when she was much younger, she really didn’t grow.
With her weird mates she’s a flattin’ as she doesn’t have a home,
When she worked our here at Linwood I called her a G-nome!

She used to live on Woodham, but now found living on Madras,
When I got on her nerves taking the mickey, she’d say” Paul, kiss my ass’
She likes to go out drinking and says her LIM job sucks,
If she’s not hosting student radio, you’ll find her at the Dux.

On a bus, Madras to Linwood, she found was quite a hike,
So she surprised us all at work one day, when she turned up on a bike
Now she’s based at civic, we couldn’t believe it when Tony told her,
Then she fell off the scooter one morning and damaged all her shoulder!
Her flat looks like a bomb as dropped, with clutter, pots and dishes,
Today’s our Franny’s birthday and we all wish her “best wishes

“You reflect on how far situation has come and silently praise yourself. The gradual process of change and personal growth has brought you to a happier place with promise of better times ahead.”

A week away from my 27th birthday. This time last year I made myself some promises… I’m not quite at the point where I have achieved what I said I would but I have come a long way. Its a good thing, I feel like I am in a better place as a result. I’ve had a topsy turvy few weeks, full of injuries, skis, new jobs, new people, old friends, pineapple lumps, goats in snow, nip/tuck, rugs, warm bed, cold couches.

I, believe it or not, even through hanging out with so many young people, have matured a lot. I think I know more about what I want from life and what I value. Some stuff is still screwed up in my head, but at least I know it is and I think I have a lot more answers to why than I had before.

mmm vague.

So what’s been happening?
Well the log cabin and casa Wish hosted the Crackhouse 5 from Wellington, and the totally amazing Tommy Ill.

They played a show in David’s room. It was awesome, they were exhausted, so were the cabin dwellers.
I moved jobs, it wasn’t as bad as I had initially expected. I’m getting used to town, not time wasting on facebook. At least I am constantly busy. The day actually flies by. I need to however stop any excess spending with Real Groovy next door it could be hard.

“Some soul-searching or a fresh start is needed. The answers you currently seek probably lie within but bringing thoughts to mind requires quiet reflection and letting go of the past. Embrace change today.”

Hah, yeah back reading the crazy horoscopes on the Herald website. I had a fall on my scooter on Monday so have spent the last couple of days in bed recovering. Basically just bruised and sore, thankfully nothing is broken. I was meant to start the new job today, I’m hoping my body is less sore tomorrow and I can go to work. Stretching seems to hurt a lot.

I had a pretty messy weekend, some of it amazing, some of it terrible- partially by me and my messed up head and doing something dumb, partially by disappointment that was beyond my control. The fall has given me some time to reflect on things. Why some things I thought I wanted would be a bad idea, and how to move forward and set my sights elsewhere. Somehow though, I don’t think I’d trade what happened for a boring weekend on the couch watching DVDs or something. Well there will be one circumstance in which I’ll regret the weekend, but hopefully that doesn’t happen. I really should get out of bed and move about.
Laura is coming round to hang out soon, Josh said he would come back round too, and Sarah came to entertain me last night. I’m kinda sad that I missed my last day at Linwood, in spite of all that complaining about things, I really did like the people that worked there most of the time, and I was comfortable there. I don’t like the whole first day at the new school feeling- and that’s what I’m going to get if I go into my new job tomorrow.
