Who has the most amazing boyfriend in the world? I DO!
He took me to the zoo.
Brought a picnic lunch of my favourite kind of pie and chippies.
He bought me a paw print (mounted and framed) of a SPIDER MONKEY and we donated money to the orangutans.
He also gave me a polaroid camera and film.
Seriously, what an incredible man. <3
In other news, my oven SUCKS for baking. My birthday cakes died. :(
Cat rules for giving me lollies, a moose, a pooch, jammies and a cookie jar shaped like icecream. She also rules for being able to bring a room of people into hysterics with just one sentence. Poncho rules for giving me a pink bread tin (I <3 homewares). Eboney rules for giving me mugs with Flamingos on. Mara rules for giving me shoes with flamingos on. Christine rules for being the first person to say happy birthday two years in a row.
I can't wait to see my mumma!

In a week I will no longer be a teenager. I swing between being scared shitless and not really caring at all. I spent my last year as a teen sober and in love, that's not very rock'n'roll now is it?
For my birthday I want to get my chestpiece done, and I want cake. Thankyou.
I had this big entry planned out detailing my year and how I feel different from 19 to 20 but I don't really feel that different at all. In the last year I've learned a few important lessons about who you can trust and who you can't. I mean, there are some pretty damn shit people in this city.
Right now I can count my good friends on my two hands. At times this worries me and at at other times I'm glad. I live with a fucking rad girl, I have the most incredibly amazing boyfriend in the world and I'm pretty comfortable in my little world. I know there are people out there who are holding grudges against me for some pretty stupid shit and I've decided that it's their loss. Why waste time on people like that?
So Happy Birthday to me, and bring on being a responsible adult. Ha!

Hey Kids,
I'll be making my first trip EVER to Melbourne and Sydney next week and I need some good places to eat and buy good stuff.
If anyone can let me know how I can get to the Jewish district by public transport (I'll be staying in central Melbourne) - to hook me up with some white chocolate - I'd be extremely grateful.
ALSO - Please let me know where I can get cheese from! I have a hankering for some fetta and grateable cheddar...
I'm so damn excited, interstate travel 3 times in a year freakin' rules.
<3 Claire

Every woman in the world should read "Female Chauvinist Pigs" by Ariel Levy. Then, they should give it to their brother, boyfriend, husband, father or male friend and have them read it too.
I'm sure you've all seen the fantastic playboy bunny logo, which has made a reappearance on everything from jewellery to car seat covers over the past few years. Girls throughout the western world are wearing this logo with gusto, while having little to no idea what it represents, or getting their wires completely crossed. The raunch culture that has quietly crept up on us over the past decade (so quietly I can't even remember what the world was like without tits and ass in my face 24*7) makes me uncomfortable and tense, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. If I want porn, I'll watch porn, I don't want to see it walking down Hay St on a Sunday afternoon.
Educated women are throwing aside their university degrees to shake their bums to get to the top. Please, lets not confuse this with using your womanly charms to make the male species to courteously step aside and let you into the board room, this is using your womanly charms to be the girl on the pole in the strip club they visit after that meeting. Taking your clothes off is not powerful. It is not empowering. It is just taking off your clothes. Wearing a push-up bra does not make you more beautiful. Having playboy bunny car seat covers does not make you more credible. Getting trashed and kissing 10 boys in one night does not make you more likeable. Wearing a miniskirt does not make you smarter.
Women have given in. We've given up trying to beat them and we've joined in on the 14-year-old-boy behaviour we've been trying so hard to get away from for centuries. We've confused a sexual revolution with a gender equality revolution. I am not uptight because I prefer jeans to short shorts. I am not a prude because I choose to keep my breasts for my boyfriend's eyes only. I don't see the giggling, tipsy girls in Northbridge every Friday night with skirts the size of a tic-tac box and shirts not much bigger as sexy or powerful. Most of the time they just look sad, and occasionally slightly scared.
You probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but hey, just read the book, okay? It's bright pink, you can't miss it.
It makes me really sad that I am regarded as strange and weird because I read a lot. That I read a lot of non-fiction, in fact. The fact that I know a lot about the world around me and the things going on in that world take me out of the realms of 'normal'. I am told daily by my workmates that this makes me not like them, and not like the people they know. I even find myself apologising for talking too much about one subject, telling them things that contradict what mainstream media is saying, or about things that they probably just don't want to know.
But then, why don't they want to know? I have strong views, yes, but they are informed views. I just don't see why people would want to live in a world they don't understand. If it made it easier, then sure, but it can't be - can it? Is it honestly easier to live in a world where you are given this neat little mould you're supposed to fit into? How on earth do you cram yourself into this 'ideal'? Whether it be the ideal husband, mother, teenager, student, worker, whatever?
Don't you wonder why you have the things you have? How they work? Where they came from? Don't you want to know what's in the meal you're eating? In the car you're driving? The history of your country? The history of your family? What your government is doing? I sure as hell do.
If you find something out you don't like, do you just ignore it? Or do you keep looking for more answers? Do you try to cross-reference the tiny fact you have been presented with, and try to make a full informed opinion of the subject in question? If not, why not?
Ask the question, and if you don't like the answer, ask another one. Keep on asking and arguing and discussing until you know exactly what's going on. If you still don't like it, change it. Don't just get pissed off, do something about it. Don't let people just tell you things. Make them explain it. Make them tell you WHY. Don't just accept the first thing you hear as gospel truth. Don't just accept the things you were told as a child, or as a teenager, or in school, or by your parents. Find out for yourself.

I'M IN ADELAIDEEEEE
It's so damn exciting!! I've bought a heap of shit, mostly presents and I am indebted to Mara (<3<3<3) and Dougie for letting me occupy their floor for the next 3 nights.
I need this holiday more than I realised, now that I'm here. I'm seeing one of my favourite girls in the entire world and not giving a fuck about all the shit going on back home and it's amazing. My own private island away from my troubles. I am, however, well aware that they will be there when I get back. Hmm.
We saw some killer street art today that I really want to get a photo of before I leave. There is so little graffitti here compared to Perth, it's nuts. All the stuff I've bought I can probably get back home, in fact I know I can, but hey when in rome...
...
ADELAIDEEEEEEEEE^%&*^)$YFHIUUHV*YD_YG
I <3 Davey Dynamite for holding me tight on the plane and making sure I didn't freak out. I know he's the one cause he kissed my clammy hand just to make me feel better. <3

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you don't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
Please don't let the people you love ever think that you don't care. Tell them, every day. Tell them that you love them and treasure them and value them to the ends of the earth. Tell them until they get so sick of hearing it that they tell you not to say it any more. Then tell them again. Cause one day, they will be gone, and you won't get the opportunity to let them know exactly how much they meant. This is not supposed to be depressing or sad. Don't waste this moment. Get off your ass and make it count. Live every day as if it is your last, because one day it will be.
<3 I can't wait to see you Mara honey, and my god Christine answer your fucking phone or you'll miss out on seeing me too!
I love you Mr Dynamite for, amongst many other reasons, you bring me lunch at work and inspire me to run across the carpark and totally forget what I was doing. Also, I had a goofy smile on my face for the rest of the morning <3

All hail the eighties. Boys were in the hood and girls just wanted to have fun. Flash forward to 2005 and we were clinging to the years of our birth by dressing like dorks and shakin our booties in celebration of Mara and Cat turning 20. I love these kids xoxox

The Gossip - Standing in the way of control |

Comeback kid tonight.
I miss my boyfriend even though I saw him... 20 hours ago... and will see him again in 2. Ahh the joy of monogamy.
A guy at my work who will be 21 in December is going to be a father before his birthday.
I miss Christine and Mara something cruel. I want hugs from both of you. My little heart hurts cause you're not around.
I'm excited for Ana to come and stay. Pretty sure Perth is the shittest place in the world, but I'll try to make it cool!
I'm sick of my hair, sick of regrowth and sick of it being stupidly long.
You know you're a nerd when you conciously miss your bus stop because I JUST CAN'T LOSE THIS ROUND OF THE MARIO KART GRAND PRIX!!
I love Cat and am looking forward to having a posi vegan housemate :D

Knowing that within the next two months I will see the best girl I've ever met and be living with two that come pretty fucking close. I've never been surrounded by such loving, supportive, beautiful people and I know for sure how lucky I am.

Its making me really sad that MSN is not working. But the fact that i blew off work today is actually making me very happy. I have a sore, scratchy throat and a killer cough when I go outside. I love it when I decide "Okay, I can be sick now" cause I've been feeling on-and-off yuk for the last few weeks and havent been letting it get to me. But now I have told my white blood cells to lay down and get raped by the infection and I feel like shit. Good cause I dont have to work and bad cause... well I feel like shit.
Dave is the best boyfriend ever, although I have been really mean and making fun of his haircut, which actually doesnt look bad at all. I'm so nasty. He made me dinner twice in the last week. Three times if you include last night when I helped. He bought me passionfruit sorbet and gave me smooches even though I cough and hack over him. I love the boy because he lets me beat him up and tickle him and still gives me hugs when I hurt myself while trying to attack him. He understands everything I say and doesnt ever make me feel stupid or down on myself. He tells me I look great a thousand times and even when I get annoyed, says it just once more. I feel terrible for having paraded all the terrible boyfriends before him and complained to him when they treat me badly. I don't know if there are words to explain how it feels when you've finally got together with the person fate has intended you to be with, but here he is.
Wow that got emo and mooshy really quick!
In other news, Chrissi is here and it excites me! She's so nice to cuddle and it's made me super-happy to know that everything is the same and that she can still make me laugh till I almost wee myself.
Happy Birthday to Kendra, who threw a kickin party last weekend, which I drank at and threw up when I got home, ha! It was a really good night and it was nice to see people getting along. <3 Kendra love to the shizzy.
P.s. I'm buying a lowrider, and it's puuuurple!
