the one where she answers the question

July 31st, 2003 | No Comments | Posted in DW, Deep and Meaningfuls, Heartbreak, Love

Why do I perservere with this DW situation?

Here’s my opinion.

Throughout my adolecent and adult life, I’ve dated people because they’ve liked me. Nothing inside me ever felt passionate. I came to fall in love with them eventually, but I never truely desired to be with them, or longed for their touch.I dated them because it was safe. My feelings were never compromised or challenged and I felt a certain assurity in that.
I’m not head over heels with DW because he adores me. For the first time in my life, I’m following my gut instinct.

I’m never certain about anything. I’m the most indecisive person you’ll ever meet. But for the first time in adult life, I’m certain about one thing. My feelings for DW. I can’t be certain of his feelings for me, but hell…I refuse to wake up in 20 years time along side my husband and look at him, pondering what could have been if I’d only followed my heart.
And that’s why I do this now. That’s why I perservere through all the uncerrtainty and fear. Because for the first time in my life, I’m truely in love with someone. I dont want him coz I’m lonley. If I didn’t want to be lonley I know of 2 guys who would kill to have me (I hope that doesnt sound arrogant!). I dont want him for show value because he’s attractive. I dont want him to fill a void. I don’t want him as a substitute for someone else.

I want him because he makes me feel incredible. He makes me laugh like no one else can. He makes me weak at the knees. He makes me come like no one before him. He makes me so overwhelmed it scares me.
He makes me so giddy I forget to breathe.

Why do I perservere with this DW situation? What if I’m wrong you ask? Well…So What? I would rather spend 6 months making a fool of myself, over the man I am in love with, than spend a lifetime of regret, wishing I had followed my heart.

the one with the pool

July 31st, 2003 | No Comments | Posted in DW, Friends, Teeda

Last nite, Teeda, Andrea and I went to dinner to celebrate Teeda going full time at work, which is a wonderful step forward for her. I’m so proud of Teeda. Last night, we spoke about how 12 months ago, she abhored going to work and the thought of working full time was never something that crossed her mind. She had just broken up with Christian and things weren’t going well for her at all. These days, a year on, she has such motivation. She loves her work. She’s content, nay, happy being single. She’s travelling overseas at the end of the year. Basically, she has found that she has so much to offer the world, and she’s taking it by storm. I’m so proud to have her as my best friend and housemate. She’s an amazing person who has flipped her old life the bird, and has reclaimed what she deserves.
We shared a fabulous dinner at Mickeys. I can’t believe she managed to eat the whole salad. This salad is the biggest salad you’ve ever seen. I’ve tackled it and failed miserably. Teeda, on the other hand, showed no sign of resignation, finishing it and even contemplating dessert. What an effort! I opted for the chips, salad and chicken with peppercorn sauce. Oh Yeh! I’d ben craving peppercorn sauce for weeks and let me tell you, I wasn’t dissapointed! It was perfect. Accompanying my perfect meal was, what I would consider, the perfect scenery…DW behind the bar. Watching his well toned arms flex as he pulled drinks all night capped off with his amazing smile that crept across his face as he joked with Dave was the perfect accompanyment to any meal.
Everything was fantastic til I got up to leave…I stood up and walked towards the exit, glancing at DW as I went to pay the bill. He looked at me, but it were as though he were looking straight through me. The usual smile of recognition was replaced by a vague head tilt and roll of the eyes. It was the first time he’s ever looked at me, without that depth that normally appears in his eyes. I must admit, it threw me a little bit. But like the trooper I am, I soldiered on, paying the bill and walking out into the crisp night air to pollute my lungs with smoke and tar. I didn’t think about it again til I got home.
After dinner, we went to Zag’s to play pool. We waited for years, it would seem, to manage to get a pool table. When I finally spotted some punters leaving, I darted quickly towards their vacant table. I reached the table simultaneously to 2 girls, whom I suspect were 18, if that. They looked at me quizzically to see what my reaction was. Although they were young, they looked rough. Almost Doveton. I figured it wasn’t worth having my eyes clawed out for the table, so I left them to it. I returned to the couch, smoking and watching the young girls I had surrendered the table to. They lounged all over it, acting ’sexy’ and trying to attract the attention of men two and three times their age. An hour later, they still hadn’t even played a game of pool. Hussies.
We eventually found a spare table, where Andrea and I shot a game that seemingly lasted eons! Andrea remarked the game was much easier when she wasn’t sober. I wish I had such an excuse for my shoddy game…although I did end up winning, much to my suprise. Must have been a fluke. I’m not the worlds best pool player. When we were just 18, and spending hours upon hours,playing late night pool at Zag’s, I was much more interested in the men, 2 and three times my age, than I was the game. Oh…….hang on……..
Eh, those girls will face the ridicule of their mates, in a few years time, when they can’t play pool to save themselves! Take it from an old-school Hussy who can’t play pool to save herself!

the one with the realization

I just downloaded an update client so I don’t have to use the LJ webpage to edit my entries. This should suit quite well.
Alas it is Wednesday. Unfortunately, no new intriguing developments in my life thus far. Although the battery for my mobile will be purchased today, and I will reclaim my guitar. Nothing exciting there though.
The Anxiety Disorder restricts my capabilities to hold down a job at the moment. Without a job, it feels as though one really lacks any sort of meaning in their lives. What is my purpose when I wake up of a morning?
“So Prue, What do you do?” I’m always stuck for an answer. “Well…I’m a bum at the moment actually…” never seems to gain an enthused response.
Some people are almost envious of this lifestyle. Waking up at any hour I chose to. Not having anything to fill my days. No lectures, no classes, no 9-5, no annoying boss like figure to drive my sanity away during the working day. But alas, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
My day is not wiled away watching Jerry Springer and Oprah unfortunately. I crave more stimulation than that.
Get a hobby? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a proper hobby in my life. Is playing online a hobby? Or just something to fill the hours between searching for a hobby? I guess if I had one passion that seemed even remotely ‘hobby’-like it would be writing.
Writing gives me an outlet for every emotion that fills me. I must admit, this journal really gives me some sort of creative outlet. Without this, I suspect I would go mad. I guess I find it difficult to convey my emotions verbally at times. Oddly enough, as I’m one of these loud mouthed extroverted folk that never seems stuck for conversation. I’m one of those individuals that keep my inner most emotions and thoughts bottled up, deep inside. If not for my writing, they’d never become words. They’d lay dormant supressed by Aropax.

Back in the day, I used to write really average entries in my journal. I listed activities of the day and how I felt about such, and I would often end with some non-sensical quip about how no one understood me. I re-read them nowadays and I’m almost disgusted by the lack of creativity and intellegence displayed in my writing. I guess alot had to do with my mind set at the time. I felt I had absolutely no direction. No reason to leave the warmth of my doona each morning. My life seemed to consist only of anxious moments and that incredible fear that came with it. The fear that my life would always be like that. The fear that I would never be able to lead a reasonable existance, not withstanding, an existance outside the 4 walls of my small Hawthorn flat.

Nowadays, I use my writing as a source of inspiration and as a way of mapping my progress towards the day where I live without anxiety. I can trace the long journey I’ve undertaken recording important ‘milestones’, so when I feel that all is lost, I can look back and realise that there is hope, and that I’ve made so much progress in the last 6 months alone.

Now that I re-read this entry, I realise that perhaps what fills my days at the moment, is almost more important than a 9-5 job. Writing has become my therapy. Much cheaper than my psychiatrist too. I’ve just realised I do in fact have a hobby…Writing.
What is my purpose when I wake up of a morning? It’s this…what you’re reading right now.
Perhaps I should start to reply to the question “So, Prue, What do you do?”, with the simple truth…I’m a writer in therapy.

THE CALLING
“Things Dont Always Turn Out That Way”

Well he can’t sleep at night
And he can’t do what’s right
It was all because she came into his life
it’s a deep obsession, taking up his time

She’s all that he wants, she’s all that he needs
She’s everything he just won’t believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he’s been dying to say
but things don’t always turn out that way

And he must confess
All the impure thoughts of his beautiful temptress
although he keeps it all bottled up inside
although he keeps it all safe within his mind, oh yeah

She’s all that he wants, she’s all that he needs
She’s everything he just won’t believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he’s been dying to say
but things don’t always turn out that way

So wipe that smile off your face
Before it gets too late
There’s only so much time
For you to make up your mind

She’s all that he wants, she’s all that he needs
She’s everything he just won’t believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he’s been dying to say
but things don’t always turn out that way

Fuck I miss him.

wish this damn zovirax would work quicker!

Saturday I caught up with Allie, Luke and Michael. We all just hung out along with James and Andrea. We skulked about til about 10.30 or so, when Allie and Luke had plans to go to Switch. Andrea and Andy went along with them.
I was feeling horrible about the whole DW situation, so Michael stayed the nite and we talked all nite. He’s a fantastic listener. I’m really glad we’re friends.
I need to get in touch with Wolf. He msgs me all the time. He’s a brilliant guy. Must msg back. Also need to get battery for my mobile at strathfield. they’re like 20 bucks. I can’t believe I’ve gone this long with a shitful battery, when I could have just bought a new one for 20 dollars! what an idiot
Thankyou to those ppl who emailed me when I was feeling down the other day. It meant alot. To update the situation, well there’s really no update. Still no word. Still sad. Still disapointed in DW. Davo, my housemate, played netball with DW tonite. He asked him what was going on between us. Suprisingly enough came DW’s “idunno” response…………. No shock there.
Dave asked him if he was going to fix up the situation. Apparantly there was some nodding motion.
That clears that up….not.

the one where she’s so very sad

July 26th, 2003 | 3 Comments | Posted in DW, Deep and Meaningfuls, Feeling Crap, Heartbreak, Love


I know you read this and I want you to know something…
Right now, I feel so much sadness that it’s overwhelming…
I feel sadness to the same degree I felt passion and love with you the other nite
I feel sick because I feel so used by you
Why say all those things to me, to work me up, when obviously all you are doing is using me for sex and for when you need comfort?
Why do you do it to me? How can you “make love” to me and tell me how close you feel to me and then walk away the next day and avoid me?
The other nite I cried because I felt so incredibly loved by you…
The only tears I shed now are because i’ve realised how you’ve used me and manipulated my feelings to work to your advantage.
I should have listened to everyone when they told me this months ago, but for some stupid reason, i believed in you…
I believed you were a better person than that. I believed that you were a good person who was in love with me but confused by his past….
The only thing i believe now is that you are just like all the rest.
You’re just like everyone i wanted you NOT to be…

You swore you’d never hurt me again...you promised…

why make me fall for you if you have no intention of catching me?

the one where she can’t think of a title

July 24th, 2003 | 2 Comments | Posted in DW, Home Life, Picture Posts, Random Facts

I’m just sitting here smoking and I thought I’d update the ole Journal.

Nothing much went on today. I was up at a reasonable hour (9am) after a horrible nites sleep! I kept waking up during the night for some reason. I guess it’s coz i’m not used to sleeping normal hours!

I just hung out at home, same ole same ole really. I need to go and get my guitar from mums so I can have it restrung and start learning to play again. Well, i’m not really learning per say, more just strumming along til I find something that sounds reasonable.
Then I’ll add some lyrics to it and compose a psuedo song.

I’ve got a damn coldsore too! I never get them! But I guess I must be under some stress.

What can i tell you today? Hrmmm….let’s do a little inventory on my desk shall we?

  • Notebook with all crazy stuff in it. Mostly poetry I’ve written recently. I’ll share with you my
  • 2 latest pieces if you’d like…

    I wrote a poem about a nite that DW and I shared when we first met eachother.

    That Summer night I will remember
    sitting in the grass with you
    Our legs entwined as you pulled me towards you
    not a care for the wind that’s rushing through the trees around us
    lighting my cigerette I offered you the flame
    And we sat, smoking and laughing
    at stories of days passed
    your face told a tale of growing infatuation
    your actions promised no thirty second seduction
    it was the first time i noticed
    the amazing blue of your eyes
    and your wide smile that dimpled your cheeks as you laughed
    It were as though the nite stood still for the two of us
    The wind appeared to halt its incredible gusts
    The late nite chill went unnoticed
    The warmth that night was you
    As you took me in your arms
    And held me close to you for the first time

    And then Wednesday morning as I lay in bed next to DW i wrote this

    Morning storm clouds at my window
    daylight seeping through the curtains
    I lay next to you brushing my fingers through your hair
    You doze gently dreaming
    I dare not close my eyes for fear
    that no perfection of a dream could compare
    to what exists at this time in my waking hours
    I study your consummate features
    Deftly tracing the inky malaysian memory etched on your back
    My touch gravitates toward your acquired scars
    all unmatched and sui generis with a story to tell
    each individual imperfection reads perfection in my eyes
    Your scent, an infusion of Bourbon and two lettered aftershave
    lingers on my sheets as it will for days
    When you wake you will slip into the morning
    not unlike houdini, without a trace
    And I will take up that familiar position by my window
    Wrapped in the covers that we made love on just the nite before
    inhaling your scent
    Waiting.

    So yes…that’s what in my notebook. I’m not a fan of rhyming poetry. More prose.
    Obviously…coz i never rhyme. I dont think anything you write from the heart should have to conform to a style of stanzas and forms and rhyme.

    I have absolutely fallen in love with the matchbox 20 song “unwell” since I heard it performed live on The Panel a nite ago. It’s so beautiful.

    All day staring at the ceiling
    Making friends with shadows on my wall
    All night hearing voices telling me
    That I should get some sleep
    Because tomorrow might be good for something

    Hold on
    Feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown
    And I don’t know why

    But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
    I know right now you can’t tell
    But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
    A different side of me
    I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
    I know right now you don’t care
    But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
    And how I used to be…me

    I’m talking to myself in public
    Dodging glances on the train
    And I know, I know they’ve all been talking about me
    I can hear them whisper
    And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
    Out of all the hours thinking
    Somehow I’ve lost my mind

    But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
    I know right now you can’t tell
    But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
    A different side of me
    I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
    I know right now you don’t care
    But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
    And how I used to be

    I’ve been talking in my sleep
    Pretty soon they’ll come to get me
    Yeah, they’re taking me away

    But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
    I know right now you can’t tell
    But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
    A different side of me
    I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
    I know right now you don’t care
    But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
    And how I used to be

    Yeah, how I used to be
    How I used to be
    Well, I’m just a little unwell
    How I used to be
    How I used to be
    I’m just a little unwell

    Here’s what’s on my desk in no particular order…

    • half empty glass of water (that description gives away my pesimistic outlook on life lol
    • Aropax…the anti-depressant I take daily x 2. Works a treat. Yay for AD’s!
    • 2 packets of Peter Jackson Extras. I’ve become a tight arse lately, and I’m resorting to smoking PJ’s. I’m normally a marlboro girl, but I smoke mediums and they only come in 20s and I was running out at annoying times
    • Phillips head screwdriver that I was using Tuesday evening to try and fix a vibrator that has died! It was the “egg”…my fave of them all! Damn Egg!
    • packaging from my knee high toe socks that I bought Tuesday evening. They’re rainbow coloured! I scream dyke in them!
    • Framed photo of Teeda and I taken in November 02? We’re at Mordialloc pier and I’d just had my hair cut in to the Mrs Partridge style. Not a good look, but a suprisingly nice foto of the 2 of us. The sun is setting in the background. I’m holding a smoke too…haha one of the few pics where you’ll see me smoking
    • Chocolate freddo frog……I’m a big chocolate fan!
    • Lighter and ashtray that needs to be emptied coz it’s turning into a bit of a hedgehog!
    • Zovirax for this annoying cold sore I’ve developed!
    • A pen I stole from Teeda that has a dolphin on it with these huge wierd gel eyes that turn red when you’re writing. She bought it late last year when Teeda, Andrea, shannon and myself went to phillip island. It was the last time things would ever be the same between us all. We had such a brilliant time there. It wasn’t long after that things fell apart between us all for the first time, and then they were cemented when Shannon got together with Teedas ex boyfriend Christian. I miss the friendship we all used to have. I carry a picture in my wallet of the 4 of us in happier times.
    • Digital camera…which is kinda stuffed. I met this guy from the net who came to netball with me and dave and teeds. He was meant to be holding my camera when we were in the car but he let it slip down the back of the seat and it broke and the case went all demented. And the cover that keeps the memory card inside it broke off when teeda took it out to the pub a few months ago. It’s almost well and truely rooted lol. Ahh well…
    • Stack of CD’s…including Elvis the 50 greatest love songs, Jamiroqui, chris isaak, vivaldi, spice girls first album, need for speed II, Byran adams, chops’ 21st invite cd etc
    • The studded necklace I wear all the time. You’ll see it in plenty of photos of me. I’ve stopped wearing it recently though. I feel it just doesn’t capture my personality at the moment
    • Nick Drake CD *An introduction to Nick Drake/Way To Blue* Absolutely amazing cd of folky stuff by an english guy called Nick Drake, who died in the mid 70’s. Absolutely so talented and brilliant cd. I think it could be my fave cd of all time. The other morning dave and I made love while it played in the background. I guess it will bring back those memories now.
    • Xanax…which is a diazapam used to control my anxiety
    • Waynes World Video. One of my fave movies of all time! Cracks me up every time i see it…
    • “I dont even own a gun……let alone enough guns to necessitate a rack!….FREAK
    • photos from daves 22nd…
    • A bottle of “folate plus”. I got it coz I dont eat enough red meat and I lose stacks of blood during my period so I needa boost up on iron and folate stuff. Not that I ever take it!
    • A scrawled piece of paper with suggestions for tee shirt slogans. I made some more designs tonite. It’s just a matter of getting them out there now.

the one where she opens her heart

July 23rd, 2003 | 2 Comments | Posted in DW, Deep and Meaningfuls, Heartbreak, Love, Lust, Sex

What an interesting nite I had last nite. The Wolf messaged me all nite asking to come over…But for some reason I just decided not to accept. There’s nothing between him and I and I dont want to give him the wrong impression coz i know how much he likes me.
Good thing I didn’t say yes. Guess who showed up?

Yes, that’s right…DW. He’d gone to Cheers and been kicked out for being pissed, so he caught a taxi here. Why? Well your guess is as good as mine.

Drunken DW confesses to having been reading my journal and my website etc.

He also tells me that Tuesday he finally realised he was over his ex. And that there’s room for somoene in his life that he could fall in love with.

We talk etc and eventually after him hurling we go to bed.

We decide that no sex is the order of the nite, as after the last time we secumbed to temptation we both felt empty. We talk about how sex wouldnt really be appropriate when he tells me that perhaps the problem is that it actually is appropriate and that’s what makes it so difficult for us.

We start kissing and he’s holding me and carressing me and we’re really intimate and all of a sudden i burst into tears… it just happened. spontaneous erruption of overwhelming emotion.
He kisses me and wipes my tears away and says “Baby…can I make love to you?”
He tells me that I scare him coz i’m so intense but he feels closer to me at this point than he’s ever felt to anyone in his life.
We make love all nite and we talk.

He asks me what would make my dream come true and I tell him he already knows the answer to this.
I tell him though, that he could come around tomorrow. and the day after. and the day after.
And he says, “So you need me, want me, to come over after work, and guide you into your room and strip away your clothes and show you how much I missed you by making love to you all nite” And the nite after, and the nite after that, and the nite after that. Yes.

At one point he is kneeling on the bed in front of me, as I sit cross legged in front of him. He says to me that this is much like a recurring dream he has, where he is kneeling above me and i’m laying naked in front of him just waiting…Waiting for what I ask? Just waiting…waiting is his reply.
I confess I’ve waited forever for him. He promises me there that he will never hurt me again. ever.
I tell him that i couldnt stand having him dissapear after this. That I need this to be IT. After last nite, I could never go back to what we’ve become…that distant on again off again akward thing we have had going on. Last nite was too intense, too emotional, too incredible.

In the morning I ask him How he feels. He says he doesnt know. I back away from his kisses and hand him his clothes. I notice he realises because he leans over and holds me and kisses me deeply and softly.
I wrap the doona around me as he gets ready to leave. I sit on the kitchen bench, wearing only the doona. He wraps his arms around me and kisses me again and again. And then he leaves on foot to walk in the rain to work to get his car. I watch him walk away becoming soaked, wishing he’d have taken the jumper I offered him.

all this from drunken DW. Let’s see what sober DW has to say about this.

I guess we’ll find out tonite or tomorrow eh?

I just hope he realises what he’s gambling with this time.
I think he does. I know he does.
I hope this works out. I’m trying to be cautious and not to get excited.
It’s so hard not to though, when you’ve found that one person that makes you feel so vulnerable it’s like being naked. When you’ve found that one person you’re never self concious in front of. When you’ve found that one person that can make you laugh even in the down times. And when you’ve found that one person that you feel an undescribable connection with that it brings you to tears.

I dont have the pic he wanted me to show you scanned so this will have to do
My god he’s a spunk!
