Ugh.

Music: Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistable
Mood: Great A bit headache-y, but other than that I feel like a million bucks.
Like any typical Friday night activity, I decided to google myself, just to see what came up. It's kinda creepy to see what people can find just by doing a simple search. For serious, I think it's time I changed some of my privacy settings so that my social networking pages aren't plastered all over google. And then, what's this? My Jevon's journal at #4 Razz...



Maybe I'll make that my activity for Saturday night Mr. Green (In all honesty, it's not something to take lightly, this day in age. People get fired if photos of their drunken escapades fall into the wrong hands. But we're not that silly now, are we Wink)

Meh, I can't be bothered writing anything more substantial this evening. Let's just say that I've been a devil with the credit card in the past two weeks. Weddings are damn-expensive. But! So far, I've got my wedding dress from Sydney, wedding shoes from Brisbane and bridal veil from Melbourne. The interwebz is awesome. And I'm cool.

Goodnight!

Cringe

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
Mood: Impressed Stoked
Don't you just love it when you're going over old journal entries and whilst reading them, you can do nothing but cringe?! Oh my lol. I think I'll be deleting half of these entries soon. There must be a multiple delete option somewhere in the admin. I have to find my way about this place again.

Twenty minutes to go. Time, please hurry up so I can get to the gym then go home and sleep Mr. Green

Monday, Monday

Music: Eric Clapton - Signe
Mood: Cool Cool
I should like to clarify from my previous entry that I really am looking forward to being married – despite still having thoughts of skepticism. With my older sister approaching her first wedding anniversary, and my wedding in March - I think our generation will gradually break through the behavioural attributes of our parents. At least where relationships are concerned. I'm in a really good mood right now, which is kind of strange for a Monday Razz. My job requires little cerebral activity and as such, I'm able to be hooked up to my ipod for much of the day. In this absence of Mondayitis, I'd have to say it’s probably the music that's created such an elevation my in mood Amused. Personally I don’t think I could survive without it. Music is like air.

Speaking of such - I'm flicking the songs on my ipod at the moment, because I need to start putting together a playlist for the wedding! To be honest I think this will be the most interesting part of wedding planning. In a way, a wedding can be likened to a movie or production. You're aiming to co-ordinate the music appropriately, so as to evoke the right emotions at different parts of the day. For instance, death metal probably wouldn't be the best idea for walking down the aisle to, where there’ll be bridesmaids and a flower girl frolicking about the place. At this stage I've concluded what my aisle and first dance songs will be - with simon simon's approval of course!!! I’m not monopolising on the song choices completely lol. In a way it's kinda good that he doesn't listen to music so much. He'll be happy with either of Eagles and Simon and Garfunkel played throughout the evening. Aside from that, I have about 10 hours worth of songs to plan Smile 

I have a really good feeling about 2010. I said it about 2009, and although there were some rough patches along the way, I feel that this year will be smooth sailing once March is over. Weddings are fun and happy occasions to attend, but there can be an element of stress attached at the same time. I’m so grateful for friends (heather heather!!!) and family who’ve helped us since we’ve been in Australia. My advice to anyone would be to have a job lined up before you jump the ditch, or wherever you may go. At the very least, have stable accommodation where it won’t cost you much hehe. In hindsight, it was an experience and a half to be homeless, jobless and have less than $50 to your name. Sounds like fun, yeah? Razz.

And if that wasn't enough, simon simon and I have decided to make the move to Melbourne this year in September, after we’ve celebrated my uncle’s 60th birthday in Sydney. I’m hardout looking forward to it; and it really comes from the idea that it'll be a better fit for us. I'll be paying a quick visit sometime after March to check it all out, and I’ve already started searching for 3 bedroom apartments in the city, just to gauge the living costs. Probably have my sister Dani living with us in the city. If any of you are cruising that way end of 2010, we’d love to have visitors!!! 


Well since I’m still technically at work, I had better actually do some. Two hours to go, people.

Re-entering the blogosphere...

Mood: Pleased Pleased

And it's Team Jevon for the win! At least, for now. I have so many different blogs at a lot of different sites, and I've been wanting to blog for a while. Sometimes I feel like there's so much I want to say, but then have some difficulty expressing it in words. I would love to be a serial blogger like heather heather, and like I used to be. I guess I use facebook because it means I can update trivial aspects of my life, without revealing too much about what's going on upstairs. It seems a lot of people use it to divulge anything and everything, but sometimes you have to be careful. Sometimes people may have good intentions in their quest to help you, but it may be more detrimental to your well being than anything. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent here. I'm not doing so well for my first proper blog entry in a while, am I hehe.

So anyway, in a couple of months I'm going to be married. At present, I still hold the firm belief that I won't be changing my name - but somewhere down the track, I may hyphenate. It'll be a mouthful, for sure - but I really enjoy displaying my heritage so outright. I had a message from one notsojadedlisa notsojaded… today, who asked straight out - "are you ready?". And it freaked me out a little bit. Are we ever truly ready for it? I've spent my entire life being very skeptical of the constitution of marriage; coming from a background of divorced parents, and a string of failed relationships on both sides. Mum spent much of her time with abusive men, and Dad - well it seemed that he just wanted a fuck buddy most of the time. At least, until he found a lady, had another child and settled himself down in Australia. My mum is still drifting; the last man she had threatened her life and there was a trial at court and everything. Eventually she dropped the charges because she secretly still loved him. Now forget me if I'm wrong - but they haven't been the most positive of role models when it comes to living a healthy, married life. Even though I know I'm nothing like my parents when it comes to relationships, I often wonder how I managed to come this far. Four and a half years is a while to be with someone from a young age, then to get married - but simon simon comes from a background where that is the natural course. And in his family, it seems to work. I guess I'm quite scared of failure in that respect.

I've actually told simon simon he should hook up with someone before the big day though - as he hasn't been with anyone else,  and he has sometimes joked about it. I told him I was serious - is this strange? He said as long I did too. Strange, yes? I guess it's hard to categorise it to that definition really. People are different, as are their experiences, so who really gets to say what's what? It would be nice if there were hard and fast rules surrounding this. I find it much easier just to follow rules. But I guess where relationships are concerned, you just follow your heart. (Queue audience: "awwww" ).

Looking at the layout of my little blog, I think I miss the old style. I might have to play around with it for a bit - I haven't been around for such a while though that I may have forgotten to work the styles! Nothing that a Sunday arvo won't fix Wink. When I started this blog it was more of a secret, and though I think I'll keep it restricted, it won't be a place for talking about my crushes hahaha. That's so high school. I think I like a small audience, I guess it feels more personal; even if these entries don't yield comments. I guess it's choosing who I share my thoughts with that's the important part.

I made a resolution to myself that 2010 is going to be a positive year, mentally and physically. That was it, and so far it feels really good. It's amazing how much better life is when you see good in everything you do, even if you jam your finger in a door or make a mistake in something at work. Trust me, both have happened in the week or so of this year but I've still been smiling at the end of it. It's strange too, because it seems to radiate and people become attracted to you; it's magnetic. I think I've had a lot more conversation at work since the year started. And it's always good to make connections.

I could actually go on forever with these somewhat-thoughtful ramblings, so I shall leave it there. And hope that I'll be back for more! It's 1:05am in the crazy city of Sydney and I need to be up in oh, I don't know. About 6 hours.

Goodnight.
