11:05 pm	"its strange. what others think a person is is not who they are most of the time" As usual, my title is just to spark controversy, and as a tribute to Yuans amazing ability to be insightful ,the waste it all by being insightful at me, instea dof someone who could apreciate it so i decided to share it with you. Feel enlightened. Or at least privelidged. Hmmm, that CANT be spelt right Well, since ive written last, ive quit my job, to hell with the consequenses. I guess everyone goes through a few phases in their life where they say "im doing this, and to hell with whatever happens" I decided that im NOT going to do that job. So, i feel better than i have in weeks. I put a sign on my door this morning; "Do not open tihs door" I was totally creeped out, and very suprised,when noone opened it. It was like suddenly having a voice after being mute. Or at least not having people do the dead opposite to everything i say. Total powertrip I totally flipped into "Euphoric" mode, ate cocopops, and played a variety of video games all day, and watched soem red dwarf (Its a smegging GARBAGE POD!) Well, that was my day. it was good. noones yelled all day. this is like some kind of dream. May i never awake. -Leon (There is a reward of 3 iron spoons and poke in the ribs for any information leading to the arrest/and or capture of teresa's scalp) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:38 pm	Or die trying Contrary to whateva I typed in as my title, life is about as nice as it ever gets for me. That in itself, is not amazingly nice, but generally defines days that do include breakfast, but go UPHILL form there. Today was my 3rd day in a row of being a metalworker. Today however, was a little different. since im paid daily, which means im paid as much as id get from checking gutters for change, i does have some benifits, such as, ohhh, if your boss winds up 4 hours late to work because he was enrolling at a course at tec, you can sit and read for four hours, there being noone to supervise the metalworking, and making me turning the machines on illeagel. Funnyily enough, thats what happened today. I read all of "The last continient" by terry pratchet and made a dent in "The Paris Option" by Robert Ludlum The irony of all that is that Pratchets book makes fun of any book named "The " Ah well, Ludlum did write The Bourne Identity, was was kinda awsome, so its all good. Hmm, well, i dont think i have an amazing amount to share. In my roleplay online game, I have, for no intelligent reason, a girlfriend. I thought at first that was really stupid, but first i met her when we were on the imitation japenese continent (The agatean empire for discworld people) and we were filching jewelry. she then became someone to steal pizza with, then someone you stole pizza for. It was a slow transition, particularly that she had a sorta boyfriend. In real ife id never think of chasing a girl with a boyfriend, but since this guy was a member of my guild (assassins) but much lower down the ladder, so i thought i had a shot. I managed to track down the first necklace she shoplifted for me, had it engraved, and, when i was sure that my internet connetion wasnt gonna die, took her to a nice place and gave the pendant to her. Its worked well, strangely, since im very single in real life, its almost like having an outlet for pent up emotions you get from being single for a long time. like extra love and caring, which gets kinda skrewed if youve got noone to love and care for. To some of you, this has made no sence at all. but i also hope some understand where this is coming from. Life has hit a few weird snags in the relationships department. one was my ex telling people that we were getting back together again, scaring off, as it were, any other girls. its a good trick, but it does not endear me to her. Well, that wins the award for least coherent entry, so ill go back to my game. my game doens tjudge me, or call me fat, or say i should get a job. it accepts me as i am. -Leon (PS Teresa has faded off the face of the planet, taking her hair with her) Current Mood: geeky Current Music: "In The End" - Linkin Park (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:29 pm	A dead man tells no tales, but time tells them all Once again, my title is nonsensicle. i dont think i spelt that right. Basically, today began with me getting up, eating cocopops (breakfast dissapoints me, it is almost without fail the best part of my day) Then i went to work. for the first 2 hours i had nothing to do. then i worked hard for the rest of the day. i had to cut some pipe into 3000mm lengths, thats 3 meters for the rest of you. they had to be between 2999.75 and 3000.25 mm in length. thats hard to do by hand, but , with much swearing in languags other than english, did it. then i went home, then strait back to a friend (chris's) place. i met his girlfriend (again, i already knew her) and DIDNT play monopoly. There is alot mroe to the day, and i wish i could share it all but i cant. HAHAHAahahaa....................................Not that you care anyways, right? -Leon (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:39 pm	Good Charlotte? More like mediocre Green Day Dont worry bout my title, its a generic statement about my beliefs. That as i typed it, a particularly bad Good charlotte came on the radio is an annoying coincidence. Its also hard to insult. Bad Good Charlotte IS NOT a tautology. its just bad wording I didnt work today Its pushed back to tommorrow, which is a blessing, cause one of my sis's wannabe-wannabe-goth-punk friends are coming round tommorrow whats a wannabe-wannabe-goth-punk you ask? Then do the "Alexander Leon Clatworthy's" are YOU a wannabe-wannabe-goth-punk? Test (trademark) 1)Do you keep a Livejournal? 2)Do you listed to goth-punk music? 3)Do you stitch hexagrams, bats, occult sympbols, or other such into our self-ripped jeans? 4)Do you write fanfictions for a punk and/or goth BAND? 5)Do you wear as much black as you can, regardless of temperatur, but spil it by wearing aforementioned jeans? If you answered "YES" to the above five, then you to might be a wannabe-wannabe-goth-punk. I suggest you go get help. NOW. dont read the rest of this entry. Just go. There is little more to write in this entry. Not cause today wasnt the most interesting day ive had for ages, but because im lazy. Hah. Ive got steel to cut tommorrow, so i got to get ANOTHER early night. this sleep will kill me. -Leon Current Mood: calm Current Music: "Brat" green day (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:07 pm	Everything'll be alright now, everything'll be all right.... Hahahaha, this entry will be abit unusual as far as my entries go. Why? Because NOTHING BAD IS HAPPENING. yet. Everything bad, or potentially bad is COMING. at this moment in time, nothing is going wrong. or more wrong than usual. It is, in face, proverbially all goo I have this ability to jynx myself. notice the d is missing of good? i was called away. I got a "talk" the timestamp at the top will tell you when i started typing that paragraph, it is now, well, almost 11. Im not even sure what the talk was about. Dad went on and on. First it was about the importance of going to work for his friend, even though i wouldnt be paid. The reasons thois was important was: 1)Id learn "life skills". considering that the work is cutting bits of steel to equal length, if i ever need that skill in my life, id end it. 2)Id meet people in the engineering industry. Well, there is a mangled kind of logic behind this. But, when you get down to it, what do i need engineers for? I can fix a lawnmower, use a lathe, mill, drill, etc. I dont NEED contacts in the industry. my life does not involve sheet metal. 3)If i dont, i wont get my quarter-year allowance. Now THIS i understand. It makes perfect sence So im off to cut bits of steel tommorrow, hiho hiho.......... Im playing Final Fantasy7 at the moment. Why? Because its a classic, and rather enjoyable, once you get past the polygons, pixels, and midi music. The world map music is good though. Video games are good, because they dont yell at you, are there anytime you need them, listen to what you do without saying a word, and you get out what you put in. In fact, they are remarkably simalilar to a good girlfriend, but i dont HAVE one of those. I DO have a ps2 though. Its getting late, and my bodies slowly doing that thing where it pokes me and says "You didnt go to bed last night, and you're damn well going tonight." i hate it when it does that. Well, off to get ready for cutting steel tommorrow. -Leon Current Mood: tired Current Music: Silence. just turn your volume knob all the way down. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:03 pm	Im University Im not sure how tihs is meant to go. I mean, i never seriously considered this part of my life, I never thought Id get this far. Im not trying to be melodramatic, just those who know me know I have all the survival traits of a suicidal lemming. But now that im here, I fear that ive got it wrong somehow. My eating habits are becoming infrequent at best, my room is almost without a floor, i sleep less than i should as well. Ive enrolled at UTS without much of a hitch, except my mother insisted in attending, and made me feel more out of place than i already did. However, the staff of uts were, (in this modern fast paced deep-fried world) something resembleing helpful, which was much appreciated. My thanks also go to enouch for sending me a list of who from my school is going to what uni. Kindness is always good. I also lodged my aplication for a tax file number. There was less beaurucracy involved than youd imagine. As to what my title means, im not sure. I think it means that im no longer a highschool bum with no life. I think i am now a University bum with no life. I wonder if ill get any culture while im there. Judging by the fact that I wouldnt know culture if it was dancing on my keyboard, i doubt uni will be able to even get me as far as liking coffee. My pearents, far from being pleased, are insufferable. Its jsut beggining to go from "increditable" level to "probably intentional" level, which is 2 levels (intentional, and in your face intentional, respectively) from me skipping home. something i dont want to do (I LIKE my room) but some things cannot be helped. Or tolerated. Im getting kicked off now, cause I "havent mixed my day up enough", and i sholud "Do something more productive" There are so many things wrong with that, ill have to use point form 1)Its not day, even vaugely 2)Ive enrolled in uni, been in the city, gone to the tax office, reead a book. What more can i do 3)The only other activities for me to do is read, fake sleep, and watch telly. None of which are any use what so ever. 4)More productive? at 10:11pm on a thursday? Ill just not comment on that But anyway, the shouting escilades. Time for me to make my getaway. -Leon Current Mood: infuriated Current Music: Hell March 2 -Westwood Studios (2 Comments |Comment on this)

Ive taken to humming instead of punching things Its worked well enough Uni is coming up, tommorrow is enroll, so this is going to be another sohrt entry. My family are being there usual selves, If i said "Ive discovered the secret to world peace" theyd say "So youve been doing that instead of the dishes?" Gah. This is really trying me.

10:42 pm	A drawn out sigh, roughly <---------> long Dear reader Im in brisbane for another 8 hours, the food is terrible, wish you were here waiiiiiiiit, i wouldnt wish here on you. unless i dont like you Now that my postcard is done, time to relate my day Today started with fruit loops, which turned out to be the pinnacle of my day It went downhill from there. We drove around brisbane to four destinations, in the most ridiculous rout imagineable you know how you draw a 5 point star? Yes, we traveled like that, each destination, when marked on a map, and joined by our route, was an uncannny five point star. We went to 1)Mums old friend, which was ok, but the food was inedible, and the cake, although fresh, tasted like its literal namesake : chocolate mudcake 2)My paternal grand pearents, senility is a horrible thing 3)My Uncle andrew, who, if any of you read street machine, is a leading writer. He does paint and body mods to cars. He also owns the "Best streetcar 2000-2004 (five seperate awards)" He is cool 4)A dodery old friend of dads, who kept trying to make us drink tea 5)Back to base Fortunately, we fly home tomoz, my plane take soff at 630am brisbane time (730 NSW time) Gotta get up early My rant today concerns cd players. Both my sister and i bought the same cd player at the same time. Since then, my sistwer has broken it, had it repaired, lost it, found it, lost i again, bought a new one, broken that one, bought a new one, and broken that one Mine is, or was, still in good condition My sis borrowed my player today. Hey, its not like she aske dpermission, or anything. She returned it makeing a horrible -tchtch noise when you turn the base booster on, and lost ALL FOUR of my rechargeable batteries. WHY? I really wish i knew, god she makes me sooo angry she didnt care, nor did my pearents. i dont HAVE the money for a new one god im pissed off Gah, im going to go to bed before i get worked up -Leon PS Teresa, sadly has been unwell, and her hair has fallen into a state of disrepair, as she is unable to care for heself, much less scapel hygene. She also likes the mangled hair look that one of the teddy bears in the teddy bear museum sported, so with all that lying down she'll have the bear look in no time at all. An AlexLeon exclusive.

8:38 pm	Im in brisbane, please keep the stupid questions to a minimum OOOoookay. This is QLD, this is my Grand-pere's house, and this is a cheese sandwhich Look, ill try to keep it simple. My family have decided, now that i can finally decide my own fate that they just MUST interfere. so i packed my bags, came up here, and im in the process of telling each one to stay out of my life. Its something thats got to be done My family's common language is French, so that is what they speak. I was going to do what i did at Fort Street (sit for 2 years pretending i spoke not a word of canto or mandarin. and thats directed towards a few people, especially those in my english class) but i couldnt sit there, while my family planned my life, thinking i couldnt understand them. I asked my Grand-pere (grandfather) "As-tu mange ton pomme-frittes" (are you eating those fries) which shut them up royal. Its amazing, but people STILL manage to underestimate me. and that is REALLY insulting, considering how much effort that must take. Where im staying (until early wednsday) is a kennels. no you witty gits, im not staying in a kennel. gah. but it sure smells like one, the mix of that old person smell, and that old dog smell is BAD for the nose. infact, my nose has given up entirely, and gone for a holdiy somewhere better, and idont blame it. I saw my cuzin though, hes as kooll as hes always been, but how cool that is is up to peronal opinion. Ill be bak on wedns though, back to a more liveable life. and being ablse to sleep at night its STILL more than 25 degrees as i write this, and so muggy the weather could roll you, and probably does its sooo humid that drying yourself after a shower is merely force of habit. Its not a long entry i know, but life is too complex for anything to interest my adoring fans :P -Leon (PS The korean version of our Asio or americas FBI has moved to squeltch any news of Teresa's hair. When the Leader of korea was asked about it, they denied knowing of "this teresa" and refused to comment on the state of her scalp. What is going on that even the goverment stifles all rumor?

10:06 pm	Chocolate for thought. like food for thought but less healthy Today, once again, is not a day worthy of a long entry I am going to brisbane on Friday Why, i hear you ask, are you going to Australias second hottest capital, where it reaches the mid forty's in the shade? My answer is because of family. My family is doing its level best to take controll of my life, which is something i do not enjoy the idea of, so Im going up there to put a final stop to it. Well, thats that out of the way Oh, a thought occurs. by take controll of my life, i mean, choosing where my life leads, how i live my life, and whether i defer or not And we cant have that. Today, i bought me a 59 centemeter, colour stereo TV. It was relativley cheap, 2nd hand, and yeah. The first thing that happened was that my pearents attemped to force me to put it in the playroom, as oposed to my bedroom, their reasons for this were shaky, and frankly, well, MINE. my tv goes where i want it to go, come hell or high water, although judging by the heat, i think the former is more likely. Thisarvo, i did more driving, at which i am steadily improving, and went with dad, on a "driving lesson" which is a weird kind of slang for "I want to go somewhere that my wife [my mother] wont allow, so im being clever about it. It was jsut a meeting of some of his old friends that mum doesnt aprove of, for varying reasons. On the way i got the level oddest lecture in my life. What was it about? I could be cryptic and say "christmas cards", but thats only half of it. Then i came home, played game son my not very shiny tv, so i cleaned it so i could play games on my (now) shiny new tv. then i had dinner, and read some books, learnt how to paly "Straight poker" (like normal poker, cept you cant draw), and started typing this thing. Whilst talking to people Well, dats all folks, it will be more interesting next time -Leon PS The cold weather has all but destroyed Teresa's koreanised hair. All that movie watching and cold weather can cause death, destruction, ruin, and split ends. She will need to find a conditioner that is color friendly, while restoring her locks to their former glory. Can it be done? Stay tuned "P (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:02 pm	Of Uncertian futures, possible dreams, but the cheese is real enough I started typing this a few days back (and by a few, i mean 2), and heres exactly what i typed, well, not exactly, cause it was FULL of typos, but its a little better now "Well, today was another day like so many in my life, they follow a pattern that is easy to spot, once you know what to look for 1)I am woken up, and given chores today was to wash and vacuum the two cars, and do some gardening. Against all odds, my sister helped. This wa snoly because i changedd the lsit from "Alex's Chores" to "Alex's And Anna's" Chores. I have a few skills in the area, and i made sure to get rid of the note before my dad came home no way in hell am i going to work while she reads 2)Chores end, and i go bludge, and play" That was all i wrote, and apart from adding Ps2 after the word play, i think its mostly correct. today isnt over yet, but ill start to write the entry now. of course, you wont know thjis, cause the text will appear straight under here Today, i went into UTS to learn about nanotech. Ever since i played Deus Ex (not dew sex robert, gah, you cant mishear THAT badly), i knew that i wanted to do nanotech stuff, make swords, and be killed by an albino man with a GEP gun. well, except for that last bit. At uts, i met professors, and tried to be nice to the guy incharge of letting me into the course. My friend and i then plotted ways to stop anyone else getting to the booth, and learning about the wonders of nanotech, but we had a vicious attack of apathy, and went for food then i cam home, played soem Guentlet Ledgends; Drak legacy and FFX, ate dinner, and then started typing this blasted entry. Well, I can think of so many things ive got to be doing. later fools. -Leon (PS i know your not all fools. so ignore that line if you dont think your a fool. infact, substitute whatever word you want in its place. But some of you are fools, so leave the word like it is) (PSS I am trialing a new Eclusive Teresa's Hair reporter.

11:25 pm	Antisocialism Heya all Today looked, at the outset, to be an awful one. I was unwell, and didnt ge tout of bed till just before midday, and only then cause the phone rang It was jsut a abusive call from my father, so i put the phone away from my ear and made breakfast till he was done with his rant Since mum is in SA, attending my uncles funeral, which I am forbidden from attending, for no palusible reason, dad is running the house. If it wasnt for the fact that im my fathers equivilent of grounded, id have skipped home ages ago. But today i sat and played too many video games and ate too much chocolate, carefully putting back the kilos i lost from christmas (I actually LOSE weight at christmas time, i hate the food) Im going to see LOTR tommorrow (finally found someone who will go with me, going to movies alone is a genereal sign of a bad patch off my life) so it should be good My mini rant, is that i play an online game called discworld MUD, a text only MMORPG. In it, for reasons im not really sure of, my character's dating some South Australian girl, as a kind of roleplaying thing. She however, is being chased by another guy, and her loyalties are divided. I wasted 2 hours tonight telling him to take a hike in my general kind, reasonable tone, and he was doing likewise, it wasnt till we both realised that we were pissing the girl off that we stopped. Although its only a roleplay thing, it still bugs me. Why does he have to roleplay a jerk? Anyway, thats in for this rant. Ill go and think of something more entertaining to do, then go do it -Leon PS It seems thatteresa hair was mushed up under the wooly hat that she wore when she was going to the cold mountains, and that since she's been having so much fun partying, she's probably forgotten to wash it More from our EXCLUSIVE reporter tommorrow Current Mood: apathetic Current Music: Small Things -Good Charlotte, why am i listening to this?

1:47 am	Yeah, yeah I know i havent written in a while, thats my own fault, and the fault of a few other people, but i aint pointing a finger, and especially not blaming my pizzak'rap ISP. no sir, not me. Anyway, whats happned? Christmas, and new years. how about i try some of that "chronological order" stuff? Chritmas, is almost without exception spent in Kiama, an hour and a bit down the coast. Its has the unique weather that adults love, but anyone less than 30 or greater 8 can REALLY detest Its either muggy and overcast, or muggy and warm, or muddy and ice cold. This christmas it was muggy, overcast, warm, and raining on and off I really dont like kiama. Its not that our rented cabin doesnt have a bed for me, on the contrary, it has two. but they are both in my sisters room. this wouldnt be a problem, i mean, although my sister is vindictive, she isnt evil enough to attyack you in your sleep, much. So why dont i sleep there? SIMPLE! she snores! it sounds like a rake being dragged over gravel, slowly, but with the subtle hint that it aint gonna get quiter if you wait. Yous think you could just go to sleep before she does, but it actually wakes you up, like being prodded rythmically. you in the end take a matress out into the front room (which has a streetlamp above the skylight, so the room is _BRIGHTER_ at night than at day. Once again, logic suggests covering it, but that fails cause the light is too damn bright, and theres another one across the road anyway, which is no less bad. the interior architecture should be shot. I survive by surfing during the day, and watching nickelodeon and movie one by night. It is not a particularly healthy lifestyle, but it keeps you alivish. It was a rtten week, many events, involving dad eating my dinner for lunch (accidentally, of course. really.) and my sister using my board, and snapping the leash, with her typical skill in destroyying my stuff. Christmas day is NOT the highlight of my year. Most of my family is jewish, so the whoole christmas thing for them is a non event. and the remainder just dont know who i am, like my birthday cards arrive at varying points in the yuear. its like lucky dip. any day, of any month, i can get a birthday card. My grand total of presents this year: 1 cherry ripe (regular size) 10 dollars 1 packet of chocolate assortment (cadbury) Oh, and FFX for PS2, but i bought that for myself. I got my dad a rare book i found in blackheath though, and my mum some miscelaneos objects she was always complaining that she needed and dint have. See? I cant blame it on the fact that i dont DISTRIBUTE gifts. (A side not, being single HALVES the cost of christmas, but you dont get any kute fluffy toys. its a tricky decision) It was all going no worse than usual till the last night. Then my dad (and my mum, for some odd reason) gave me an infamous "talk" If i get crdits or higher, my hex is paid. If i get less, i pay my hex. After 1st year uni, and this is the point that bothers me, they want me to pay BOARD. for those who are unfamiliarwith the term, its rent. in my own home. That i canaccpet, to an extent. but i know, and one can easily guess, its goin to be a fair whack of money, easily triple digits weekly. Well, i dont have to worry yet. I have to get accpeted first. Finally, i managed to get home, and i was home, alone for about, say, 3 hours Then David and Iain arriaved. Theyt are twins from Queenbian, basically canberraish, and they are staying here till, well, techinically 10am today the week has been a haze of vanilla coke and Ps1/2 games (Vagrant story, FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX), and NFS underground. of course. Its been good, and i have a friend here now. Im trying to be home alone with pearents. Its gonna get ugly. I should be out partying tonight, but im "needed at home" Why tonight, of all nights? My step uncle died, and i need "to be here for my mother" The unquestionable flaw in that is that my mother WAS OUT AT A PARTY, to which i wasnt invided. moral support at range? i got no bloody clue Plus im forbidden to go to the funeral "I wasnt close enough to him, and Id spoil the occasion" Not happy. Not even vaguely so. Even david and iain, as polite as they are, commented that my family "were vindictive in their treatment of me at this time", a roundabout phrase, but the message is clear. Ah well, im off, i have ummmm, something more important to do.

12:13 am	I be Mexico-Free Today was UAI day. I never made it bed. at 1 am i napped until 3, and then napped again till 7, at which time i played Final Fantasy 9 till 8:15ish Noone told me that the results were available at 5:08 (grrrrrrrr) I got 81.85. I cant say im wholly happy with that. I mean, its more than i need to do nanotechnology ANYWHERE. Plus my p's now owe me 200 dollars. so why arent i stoked? i kinda made a list; 1)Id prefer to have earnt 200 dollars from getting 94.75 :D 2)I doubt they'll pay regardless 3)What if i decide nanotech smells funny? Thats all the reasons i can think of in my current state :( Well, i beat most of my hurlstone friends, and almost no fort street people (my old and new schools respectively) But, i would like to congadulate; Minbo wang, top of the state chinese Jane wurth, 99.3 UAI David Odgers, 93.?? Kate Turner, 98.?? Brendan Markey, Ania Lucivitz, and Vesna Trobec, for getting impossibly high ones as well I dont have much to write, i am so damn tired. But at least, i wont hacve to flee the country, from doing too poorly. No mexico for me! My mums reaction to my results was one relief and anger My dads was jsut a quiet anger. But nonew yelled at all, so its all good Now i got to get a life. Ive got no idea where to begin I watched "Love, actually" Today. get a girl, or guy (depending on your preference) and go see it. I cant think of a better date-movie.Its all so happy. Mostly.

10:33 pm	Downtime Ive been unable to acsess this for a long time, so the detailsof past events may be a bit vauge Ill just miss a whole lot of interesting stuff, And just say what i remeber Saturday I was at a party. Although the host is not always the most fun person ever, it was nonetheless, easily the best party ive been to in a LONG time. We played Starcraft until everyone arrived. We then played mroe starcraft, for no intelligent reason. We then talked a bit, i met up with an old friend from my first high school, and she had a freind with her, and she was great conversation as well. We played smash brothers melee, watched a movie (Harry potter II) and I ate sushi for the 1st time in my life. The sushi made by Jenny, although it has tunat in it, was well balanced and easily the nicet sushi id ever had :D Priyankas sushi had less of what i didnt like, mor eof what i did, and, for some reason that defies logic, tasted alot worse than Jennys. It took me a while to wokr out why, and ive come to this conclusion. Priyanks sushi had more of what i liked. I like wasaba, therefore.........My right eye went numb after eating her sushi, due to excess wasabi. We played some Age of empires, which Jenny and i tied in (Qian died early on, i rushed her, she was SOOO pissed) The whole day was great fun On Monday i woked, and shifted 3 tonnes of timber from point A, up stairs (Point B), and to point C, via intersection AB|_BC. I couldnt walk straight from A to C, cause some, obviously uncaring bricklayer, had put a wall there. Tuesday i bludged at home, playing Phantasy Star Onilne (but i played in offline mode, to induce some sence of irny into the situation) I had borrowed that from george on sunday, and i thank him for that. Yesterday I went to a party at Anias house, which was Ok, cept that i had to wiat at the staion for AGES cause ania was late. But the food was good, and it was a nice day Last night/This morning i was woken up at the godwaful hour of 6am. Fortunately, i had the good sence to write myself a note the night before, explaining why I had woken up at 6am HSC unscaled results Damn. I didnt do too wel at all, band 4 everything, band 5 maths. Today i find that my pearents had searched my room for my ID and PIN and had looked up my results. I chucked a major spaz I hate it all Now i just wait for my uai.

9:22 pm	I can take lifes smooth ups and downs, its the jerks that bother me Yeah, i know i didnt write yesterday. I was sooooo dead tired Ill start with thursday morning. I got up mega-early (but 6:30) cause this day was action packed :D I caught the early train with some old friends, and was at Circular quay. A few things bothered me. One was that i had lent my wallet to Lucille a week or so back, and she had "organised" it. In other words, i couldnt find my student pass (i found it last night though), but tickes totalled $11.20 for my days trippen. A second one is that circualr quar aint circular. That really bothers me. If your gonna call an island "brown island" you best make damn sure that its brown before you do. Why was i going to slightly "u" shaped quay anyway? It was to meet a girl i only knew from msn, and who was a freind of a friend. Heya Sally! Well, we met, we caught a train to Town hall,the monorail to Paddys, and then did the whole thing in reverse. From Circualr Quay i headed off To leumeah, and therefore, to Zone 3 Zone 3 is a laserzone. You have a las-rifle, and a suit with detectors on it, and your put in a maze that is pitch black and lit with neon. It is intense. I was playing with a few Hurlstone friends. 1st round i came 5th. I was soo pissed at myself. Why are you losing to these tools? They cant even spell l33t l4z3rz0|\|3 5k1llz. Why are you losing to them? I cam 1st in the next round by a comfortable margin, and later found out, that i would have one the first round as well, under tournament rules. That felt good Then, i headed home cause we are having new shelves and stuff put in this room (one with computer, tv, etc. kinda the rumpas room) So i did alot of cleaning. Jane may argue that im not a "Domestic Diety" but i clean a mean room :P This moring, (being friday morning), i had work I worked from 7:30 till 11:00 shifting sand and chiseling excess plaster. At 11, it was pouring with rain, and since i had nothing to do, i was being dismissed for the day. since i am paid daily, rather than hourly, i was over the moon. Then some poor git dropped a 2meter by 2meter pane of glass. I spent until 4:30 getting all the fragments. I have an inderesting theory. the more glassproof gloves are, the less able you are to pick up glass with them. Its like, if the gloves are 100% proof, you are 0% able to pick up glass. If you only get stabbed 20% of the time, you can only pick up 20% of the glass. Its weird, but true. Now ive come home to find this room unrecognisable, but vaugely more pleasing to the eye. My current project is to get back into contact with people ive lost over the years. Its fun, but vaugely depressing. Ill leave you to figure out why -Leon PS Apperently Teresa Chois hair is only lighter under bright light or sunlight. Read here for exclusive articles on this facinating manner!

9:45 pm	A hard day at the office Evening all Notice that this is a very early post? My title is slightly misleading, I DO have a job, but it does not involve offices in any way, shape, form or colour. I do labour at a building site. The only phrase that sums it up is "Bloody hard work". My hands are bleeding in a quite unheigienic way. I dont ache _ALL_ over. some of me is numb It was a good days work. i probably have weight loss, if only from persperation. I made a path I moved bricks The foremen argued I moved the bricks back I had lunch. I made a second path by digging up the first one Remind me again why i dont feel a sence of achievement? Today was a day for thinking. No, check that, a day for reflecting on the past, where i had gone wrong, what little (if anything) i'd got right, where my life has been, and where its going. Sohvelling sand does not require any thought. And thinking about shovelling makes you tired, if you think about something else, you dont get anywhere near as tired I rembered those ive lost, through death, distance, or just disgust. (theirs, not mine) Akitoshi, Aunt Dolly, Teresa, Samantha, Sato, Rufas.......Where did you people go? Of that list, three are dead. Kinda depressed me It was at this point that my wheelbarrow hit a rock, and a good few kilos of sand followed physics, while i tryed to convince the barrow to follow the path. It was a half victory, which the more astute among you will realise, was also a half defeat. Oh well, going into the city tomoz to meet and greet people ive only ever spokine to on the fone and msn... Then back to leumeah to ge to Zone III for some laser action. oyah! If i can hold a rifle with these hands, that is. Well, i have a job now. I guess ill get paid at the end of the week. Paid money too. Well, shorty entry cause im so tired i could fall face first and sleep on the keyboard. -Leon PS Our Teresa Choi commentater passes on that Tree looks more korean with her died hair, and before everyone thought she was chinese (being not asain myself, i find it difficult to tell them apart, but i can do it. and tree alweays looks korean. like some sort of doll.

9:26 pm	I GOTTA BOMB, no, wait, i got a job :( j0 Well, i will start with my headline. I do not have a bomb in any way shape or form, with the possible exception of my temper. I do, however have a job. It may even be a paying one. I like that idea. My father found it for me. Well, the only compliant i have is that my Father chose which day si work, instead of me. I was going out tommorrow, but no, im working. After carefully enduring an incredible time of staring at my fathers _right_ ear (for variety you understand). He talked about how i was too weak for the job, how I wouldnt survive, how i was too pudgy round the midsection. Thats ok, its manual labor at the building site, and my sis's radio was on, so i could listen to music as he talked. Ive kinda ceased caring. Well, tommorrow will tell. Dinner was just as bad as last night, but once again, i had to nothing besides drying up and table setting/clearing, so i didnt complain. I even ate everything on my plate. Its a short entry today, because, well, im a bit lazy, and cause i did nothing to day cept my list of chores and play ff9. and napped. i like naps. -Leon PS Teresa washed her hair today.

10:44 pm	This aint a good week Evening to all my avid readers Well, as my title suggests, this is not going down in the books as the most enjoyable 7 days of my existance It started at 4 am with my cat jumping on my face. Dont get me wrong, i love my cat, but its a kind of love that does not extend to 4am wakings. He got put outside. Id only gone to bed a little while ago, so i was kinda annoyed. he got put out in the hallway 4:13 am, cat jumps on m face. I put him out 4:17 am, cat jumps on my face. MY brain finnally suggests "hey, how is he getting in my room?" A member of my family had borrowed my window. Dont ask. Im not sure myself. At 6:30, i ws woken again, but i had my tube, and they shouted cohres at me from the doorway. I woke again at 11:10, and have spent the day carefully, and methodically not doing an yof the chores. if a list had been left, thyd have all been done before midday. You got to ask nicely. Was i unfair? Perhaps, but i dont ask much. If you want me to do something, you write a list. Its sooo easy. I played ff9 during the day, after biking down to the mall for a mem card. In fact the bike trip took longer than the game playing Dad came home and said he had found me work. This was _Good_ news. i need a job. job = money, which can be easily converted into love and happiness. Job is at a building site. Hmmm, my suspicions grew. But then there was dinner. It tasted terrible, but i didnt have to help make it for once, so i didnt complain. Then after dinner, i got a Talk. almost 2 hours worth of a Talk. It was just cleverly concealed insults at my skill, work ethics, morals, and weight. I didnt say a word for the whole time. I jsut carefully stared at my dads left ear. Talks do not deserve eye contact. My dad has just yelled that im to be in bed at 11 for disobediance. yeah... The misery is setting in, hmmm, this aint good. Well ,thats the days entry, caue its almost 11 now. Leon PS some people wanted to mention/wanted me to mention: Leon (a different leon) : loosen up man and get a girlfriend Eileen: Hey Axle, mention tree Oh, Tree is short for teresa. In fact Teresa is short in many ways. Shes died her hair im told. like i care (2 Comments |Comment on this)
