roaringwomyn - me at the mo...

Jun. 25th, 2007 02:59 pm me at the mo...

Oh I hate this weather.. so Australian of me... when's this heat gonna end? Oh fuck it's cold.. where's the sun. Really can't keep us happy when it comes to weather.

Stayed at my parents last night..still here now. Is ok. Boring my friends car for a fortnight so decided to make use of it and drive to my folks.. rather than the 2 hour train trip! And I might be getting my parents old car very soon! Whoo hoo.. I mean I feel a little conflicted about this cause I don't really want a car as it takes so much money.. but on the other had it will so much more convenient to get to my work.

Well I finished my job application and handed it in on time - woot! So glad that's over. I may have two job interviews though! Waaa... cause I'm actually applying for a few different position within our organisation. humph! Or it may be a super panel of managers! Yikes!

Started doing this 'Artist's Way' course last week. It's based on this book.. it's a 12 week course you can do on your own or with others. Though you have to be super self disciplined to do on own! It's all about uncovering your creative blocks to expose your creative potential. It's you know one of those self exploratory things. IT's being run by this woman who has a counselling business on Enmore Rd, and it's 5 other women -I'm the baby (mostly dykes (as she did advertising in LOTL). It's going to be pretty good I think. The hardest thing about it is doing the morning pages... they really suck! You have to do 3 A4 pages when you get up each morning (which means half hour earlier!) of stream of conciousness writing. Oh how I hate this. The book says I'll come to love it. I'm not convinced. But I'm already learning things about myself so something is right I guess!
My work mate asked me "are you addicted to groups?" I'm feeling this maybe the case! Oh shit.

Went to Lan Franchee's the other night for their farewell party. Big disspointment really. Quite crowded as you' imagine, bad music and very straight crowd. I stayed there quite begrudgingly for about 40 mins! God I was grumpy though! Me Carol and Meela had a nice decadent dining expererience in Newtown though.. eat out at Indian restaurant (which  was actually a bit dodgy - we think they probly pay wage slavery rates), then to Gree Gourmet for dessert then Ice and Slice for hot chocolate .. mmm... Was lots o fun! Next time I said we should go just do entrees at diff places as long as we can! Can't believe I went out afterward was so full!

Ok well hope you're all well.. love love x

Current Mood: & in pain from periods!

I laughed at your comments about the weather.
I am precious too.
I like it to be about 25 degrees in the day, and maybe 18 at night.
Sunny with a few white fluffy clouds and a light breeze.
All the time....:)
I hate the rain, I hate the blistering heat, I hate the cold, I hate the wind.

Good news about your job.....when do you hear back?

I am out of the loop....what is Lan Franchee?

The art group sounds like a good idea....even if it is a bit of a lesbian cliche.
Anything that loosens you up and starts your creative juices going is a benefit in the long run.
Have fun.

Hey my house is good. Been thinking of seriously withdrawing applications though. I think I want to focus on my photography and I think if I start this new job a lot of my energy will go there for some time. Not sure I want the extra responsibility. I know I can do it though this is the dilemma,, but my heart isn't really there. I want to do more creative things with my time... this is the part of me that is responsible and serious, the carer.. urhh... It's complicated but I really don't think I want any these jobs.
Having a lot of conflict with Rick lately, he's such an arse! This isn't the reason for my deciding to withdraw but made me focus for a while.
Anywho.. will be nice to have tea and be able to blurt all this crap anywho.
So 2pm my house?

hahaha - am a workshop groupie!!! i like it. u can always drop out if u hate it.

I bought that book years ago while in the UK. I found it a bit airy fairy - i needed something more concrete.
I've seen she has published other books on that theme since. that approach must work for some people, so hopefully for u.

more details about the hot choc please!! what was it like? am a hot choc conoisseur!

and more deets on the camp betty!

yeah, it works all that lower region to help overwhelm the pain gateway so the pain signals don't get out.
only works when actually hula hooping, unfortunately.

what I don't like about it is all the references to god and 'the creator'.. but I just try ignore them. I think it's a pretty good framework. yeah if I like this one I'll look at the other books. Apparently she had a new book out which is based very much around this one but goes into more detail.

Hot choc.. oh was so good! You should check it out! Made with swiss chocolate I think.

Camp Betty.. uhm it was good. Really good political workshops... although a lot I went to were quite theoretical and I'm not sure how much they will effect radical change. I'm a little sceptical about their capacity for lots of change but I enjoy going for discussions and catching up with people. The parties were REALLY good.. those Melbournians know how to put on an impressive party, and they have some really cool venue spaces .

yeah, new book might be good. i find the creator stuff v difficult too.
i think it probably has some excellent ideas.

good parties - great!
heavy theory workshops bore me - they should be more "accessible".
