i received this entry yesterday but wasnt able to post it until today...
The most significant person in my life is my mother... and that, to her and maybe many others is a very scary thought! i mean, ALL mothers are significant - they gave birth for crying out loud (and im sure they did!) but mine is significant to me in infinitely more ways than that. Somehow, even though im halfway across the world from her she seems to know exactly what i need to hear and how to say it. She's just coming towards the end of her degree now and im sooo proud of her. so mum, i love you to bits for who you are and all that you've done. Make sure you take care of yourself.xxx
There are many reasons i havent been on here for ages... that last entry was written 24hrs before it even got to helen coz msn and this pooters all buggered, but hopefully thats sorted now...
Ive also had a fantastic week and been to loadsa boss places: fremantle gaol, which only closed down in 1991, we went on one of their night tours and there were many things that went bump! Also been to Aqwa, which is like a seaworld type place and that was fantastic too. Other places include Mandurah-a small village nearby and the roundhouse in fremantle which is another gaol thats out of use, this ones tiny and ancient tho and the views from it are fantastic.
oooohhh, also went to the history and art museum of freo. its this big fuckoff huge gothic type building that used to be an asylum for the insane, it was pretty cool but writing this has made me realize that most of them r pretty morbid type places!!! its been boss tho... im really enjoyin maself
After sayin i had nowt to take fotos of im now in my third roll of film! o, read a boss story too - The body by Hanif Kureishi... its really good. hey bob, a minor character is called robert miles!
Anyway im off t'pub now, will mail ya'll soon.miss u loads.xxxx

anna sent me this yesterday but i havent had time to post it till now....
dont really know how to put into words all the stuff in my head so thats probably the best way to start this entry. Wanted to write some shit on the significance of song lyrics and how they really communicate stuff, sometimes things u didnt even realise u were thinking about till u actually listen to the words of the song thats going in round in circles in yr head and it
makes perfect sense... the power of yr unconscious an all that.
Its wierd, had this deftones track playing on my mind over and over again but when i thought about it i couldnt even remember the tune, nevermind the lyrics. Just looked them up now and they freaked me out how much they resembled something ive been thinking about a lot lately.
It probably sounds like im reading far too much into minor co-incidences but i truly believe in stuff like that, u know like everythings connected to our unconscious and we have a lot more power in attracting things to us than we actually give ourselves credit for? s'pose thats my interpretation of fate and destiny and what have yer...
Anyway thats kind of whats going on in here, or at least thats the best insight i can give as to it.
I went to Perth city centre today to book my trips to Adelaide and Perth! it was cool bein out and about - felt really alive but i found a couple of things strange, the main one being that i had absolutely no desire to shop, i mean whats all that about? i just cant b arsed looking - its all very strange! The other one is the popularity the mullet still has over here...
u know what i hate? I keep telling myself to take more photos but i havent got a feckin clue what to take them of. Also when im at home an i see ppl takin fotos of stuff i think "Pricck!" so im feelin a little self conscious! it screams tourist and im scared of being mugged-its not my camera and i bruise easy!
walked home from Rockingham tonite - 1hr30mins i would have had to wait for the bus. Its not the walk i minded-i do that all the time, it was the fact that it was pitch black and the streetlights here are minimal... i know ,it was stupid of me but it was only quarter to 7! dont think ill be doing it again tho...yuk
oh yeah - got my own house keys today - that was boss! feel like a member of the family now! well going to retire now, its five to 12 here. How wierd is it that? its going to be tuesday here in 5mins and u'll all be in monday for another 8hrs?! nite all. xxx

spose ive been a bit quiet on the blog front recently, but they do say art reflects life or summat like that, and im not one to brag but i am quite the artist dahlings!
so yeah, back to reality, things have been pretty quiet and i got quite frustrated with that at one point as some of u may have guessed. I spose im so used to bein around all u "kerrazy" lot that i forgot what it was like to just chill for a while. i came on holiday not really knowing what to expect but i think the reason ive been a bit down is because i havent walked into a scene just like the one at home and i dread to say it but i did actually get a bit homesick back there! i missed all the goin out and the shoppin and what have yer as well as missing all of u so i didnt really know what to do with myself after that was taken out of the equation. but i got thinkin about all the reasons i came away an i spose the main one was to experience a bit of diversity and a different way of life, just because it didnt fit into my mould straight away i found it a bit wierd really...
so yeah, i havent met any new people yet but i shouldnt overlook what i have met and who, an i was in danger of doing that. all of this and ive only been here a bloody week so whats with the major pressure im putting on me anyway? i think its probably all those assumptions u lot have made over the years about me causing riots in empty houses and all that! (just jokin pet!)
seriously tho, look at what i have achieved - i swam in the ocean the other day, explored a city i'd never been to before, flew halfway across the world alone to do so and i managed to organise the whole thing in the first place, so i'm quitting with the "its not good enough attitude" ive got - it just makes me look like a spoilt little whinger (SAY NOTHING!). Its about time i put things in the right perspective.
ive been on an emotional rollercoaster this week and its not even that time of the month yet, b'jaysus! but thats not all ive been up to... ive read a lot and learned a lot about me and ive settled into this foreign land and thats good enough for me, and my high expectations thank u very much! i also went for a lovely meal and a few beverages of the alcoholic variety last night at the pub round the corner as well as seeing a distant cousin who i last saw 12 years ago, yes thats right i was 7! (he told me id grown! hehe!)
but anyway im buggering off now to do a bit of (voluntary) research for my dissertation proposals before we go ten pin bowling tonite! (how excited am i?! havent been for years!). This involves looking at matrix websites and watching the film repeatedly, and i have to say, that cant be bad no matter how sad it makes me! take care all of u anyhow. As u can tell i'm missing u all loads and i love y'all to bits, but im beginning to have a REALLY good time! xxxxxxx

another new entry from anna!!!
2332hrs,15.7.03
todays been fun... got my bearings sorted when me and Pagen went to Fremantle
and Perth city centre. Fremantle's like a smaller town closer to where we
live and where u get the train to perth. The weather was better too, although its still jeans and a jacket...
Dunno if it showed but i felt shite yesterday - a little bit isolated, even lonely despite being surrounded by people. For a change though i didnt beat myself up over it and just took it in my stride, after all i am halfway across the world from all familiar! Seems it was the best thing to do though coz i feel tons better today. It most definitely had something to do with
jetlag as well but im all good now
Started looking at ways to get over to Melbourne later on in my stay. Gonna stay here till after my birthday on 6th but maybe leave on the 10th and do a 7 day tour to Adelaide - the travel agent gave me brochures on adventure trips run by nullarbor and it looks boss - my guide book says so too. They arrange all your trips, accomodation etc... If you're interested their website is... here (and no,idont get paid for plugs i just cant b arsed typin the details!) From there illprobably do a 3 day trip to Melbourne down the great ocean road with autopiatours
Kim said her son Matt will pick me up after that an i get a week an a bit in Bright with them. That should be interesting... Pagen said their lifestyle involves lots of alcohol etc... Whats hard to believe is he's only 17 and lives as they say..."a pyaar retch laaaa...!"away from his ma. (You can take the girlout of liverpool..!) Him and the guy he lives with r both chefs in
a restaraunt nearby.
Thanx for your mail skip, sorry im so shit at reply's lately - tryin not to be online too long. Who else is readin this? lemme no... am i doin ok at the blogging thing?
Found this pinned to the fridge... it felt like it was put there for me (HOW cheesy?!)
There comes a time in yr life
when u realise that if u stand
still, life will pass you by.
There is a path before you now.
Walk it one step at a time.
Keep your head up,
and cast your dreams to the stars.
You will find your new journey magnificent
and beyond your wildest imaginings.
That first verse is exactly how i felt when i sorted this trip out... Really feel like this was something i was meant to do for reasons i dont even think i know. Sorry to go all airry fairy on y'all but the synchronicity's really kickin in (remember that k8?!)
more poetry... a couple of days before i was leavin here i got a txt off bob while he was havin a plop, it kinda goes a little something like this...
There was a young girl called Anna
Her fanny clamped nuts like a spanner
When u get in
she tightens her quim
And cums with the force of a sledge hammer!
Don't know how the hell he'd know but illthankthe person spreading the rumour...whoever u are! Well anyway Bob, here's yr come-uppance! Insomnia has a lot to answer for!
There was a young lad from Dingle
and with all the girls he did mingle.
They played with his nob
and screamed his name - BOB!
When all of their bits he made tingle!
bye bye, y'all
come back now ya hear?!
p.s.sorry mum! we've really gotta get this tourette's sorted!
p.p.s i saw a poster for a local gig in somewherecalled the swan an the band were called localpricks?! i thought it was...secondnature...peet's sideproject!!!!!!

anna asked me to say a big hello to Val from her!! She says she's sorry she neglected you and she loves you loads and loads :o)
yet another entry from anna!!!!
i went outside for the first time today! the light hurt my eyes, i was that used to being in a darkened room! however it wasnt a very nice day - in fact it pissed down for most of it! grr... i travel half way across the world and its raining, typical. My uncle who i'm staying with said it gets like this for a couple of days every few weeks and then goes back to being all good again, hope so!it doesnt really matter anyway - its really cool just being away and chillin - not having to worry about anything and seeing all sorts of new stuff... but good weather is the next thing on my wish list! it is their winter tho!
Got news of the wife today - about bloody time an all! For those of u that dont know thats Nikki, who i live with, and shes gone to Vancouver alone for the summer. All is well on that side of the world tho - shes moving to the mountains and their weather is fab, just like their men apparently! i was just happy to see human life and the outside world today - went to Rockingham shopping centre this afternoon now that Perth's buses are no longer on strike - it was pretty small tho... a bit like St Helens. Going to Fremantle tomorrow to look about - its supposed to be pretty and have loadsa shops and markets etc, so that should be fun. Gonna have a nosey about at the options i have in travelling across Aus to melbourne as well - but im not leavin here for like another month so i have plenty of time to plan the best route.
Haven't really told you much about my plans have i? well at the moment im in Perth visiting my uncle and his girlfriend Kim and her daughter Pagen. Ill probly stay here till after my birthday on August 6th when im planning to travel the 4000 miles to Melbourne to stay with Kim's son Matt in Victoria and in a few other places on the way...
Anyway my plans now are to meet some ppl my own age - dunno how exactly, but im sure ill survive! Just about getting over my jet lag now after making my self get up this morning even tho i woke up in the early hours and couldnt get back to sleep! Hoping ill sleep tonite tho... just gotta get my bearings round the place an then ill b all set! anyway need a wee now so im buggering off! take care, luvz yaowz. xxx
just been speaking to anna on msn messneger... its weird to think its 9.30 pm where she is, but only 1.30pm here!!!!!! i asked her if she'd seen any kangaroos or koalas yet, but she said only in pictures, but theres still plently of time :o)

here's anna's first post from austrailia :o)
well im here safe an sound! feels like ive done nothin but sleep seeing as i woke up 30 mins ago and went to bed about midnight! I'm at my uncle's bungalow, which is apparently in an area like huyton... home from home... although if my ghetto was like this i dont think id have left it. However i haven't been outside in daylight i'm just going from their bungalow which is dead spacious and lovely - i have my own room and bed and everything!
The plane journey was not too bad - we hit a bit of turbulance over Sri Lanka but i managed to sleep through most of that. In the back of every seat they have little tv screens which are connected to cameras on the nose of the plane so i saw all of take off and landing etc... it were proper bo! I also got to see Bringing Down The House and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, which was good!
When you're getting off they give u all this information about sars an how if u have a cough or sore throat u may need to go into quarantine an then you have to walk down the aisle spraying this substance to killany bugs! now this stuff kills lungage im not kidding - suprised the whole plane wasnt quarantined!! havent felt too bad yet anyway...
Stopped off in Dubai airport to change over an it was midnight on their time and quarter to ten at home. Expecting it to be dead i walked through only to be confronted with a heaving duty free and the irish pub that my grandad had told me of several times having made the same journey earlier this year! He's another story though... expected to be strip searched getting on the plane after his tales of how he'd been on the weed lately (no im NOT joking!) anyone whos met my grandad will appreciate this more coz its easy to know where i get my*ahem* quietness from!
Anyway since today ihave mostly been asleep i dont really have much to tell so im going to get back to watching the spelling competition on the tv (yes - its a national one between schools, how strange!) an make the dinner - poor souls! xxx

heres the first installment from anna as she prepares to leave. this is from a journal she writes herself, this entry is from a few days ago:
Sunday 6/7/03 five days to go
David Gray - Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo cryin her name,
It was a kind of so-so love and I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,
Take your hands off me, hey, I don’t belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me, Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye,
We tried to make it work,
you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit
but it just wasn’t me,
You’re used to wearing less,
and now your life’s a mess,
so insecure you see,
I put up with all the scenes,
this is one scene that’s goin to be played my way
Take your hands off me, hey, I don’t belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me, Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I’ll find someone who’s not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who’ll give me a steady life
and not keep going off the rails,
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
So many thoughts are running through my head its hard to know which ones to write down...Well in that case why do i keep writing down other people's?!
Considering theres a hugely significant event happening soon i feel really melancholy, although i think im confusing this feeling with sad in the same way you do when u cry at weddings-u know its good, but for some reason it feels a bit scary. I think its coz the whole weekends been full of goodbye's-you'd think i was going indefinitely! peole really let u know what they think of you when yr going though, but most of thats been good in my experience (so maybe that last statements not true!)
Keep thinking what will it be like to come home-i love the way i ask that before i've even left-yer melodramatic bitch now who's treating it like yr going indefinitely (inner self-shut up!). This weeks been like limbo -been tempted to tell a few truths to people too but i dont believe in starting something i cant finish.
Maybe its something to do with listening to David gray, after all he's cool but he's hardly upbeat! Blame it on me dad. Don't know why ive posted it, it just seemed significant at the time, ask Freud!
Anyway for the hard facts...been shoppin for shite today - u know shampoo etc boring but so expensive! must have spent about 50 quid on toiletries! sheesh
Then went to see dad's family who r cool - my auntie's r all whack! Wouldn't have been anywhere tho if it wasn't for the money i got from work - yes they paid me to go...nah, just jokin! They did a collection an got me a card which was boss an i admit to a tear in my eye! the in'jokes were cool. Went out with them last nite - we got given a shitload a money for that too. We went the hanover, modo an barracuda an by the time we got to barracuda lets b honest it was going downhill - i decided to retire to the hanover an wait for miss devine to finish behind the bar. Thinking they'd all bugger off somewhere tres dodgy like the VR i made myself acquainted with a bailey's an set about propping up the bar... till john an Chris joined me - typical!
I thinkover the last year we've spent more time in there than the kwik slave. The fun really started when Claire decided to give out free shots of this dodgy liquor from spain or somewhere thats about 80%. Now this shits so strong it practically evaporates in your mouth... me n devine knocked it back but Chris, who's in work the next day, decides he's gonna give his to John. Unaware of what this shit is he promptly downs a double an u can imagine the state he was in. i dont know whos eyes were streaming more - his or mine and claire's, who were hysterical with laughter!happy days
anyway gonna go now with officially 4days to go (its after midnight now!) luvz yaow! xxx

GRRRRRRRR!! had a boss entry typed and at the ready and have just lost it all. was just going to write how i liked this blogging business but changed my mind - am very pissed off an tired! it went something like this -
had a boss 2 days visiting nan and grandad then cool quality time with ami and mum. Also-spoke to bob on the fone about his muchos dramaticos life an said how much its good to have him back in England.
Seeing as its 23 minutes past the witching hour an i was typing up Tuesdays entry im gonna give up now. I've got a plane to catch after all! That sounds bad but considering the next installment will come from Perth, Western Australia I'm sure I can cope!
