Fat Girl Rant and Columbo Turns One

Greg came around this afternoon, and dropped off a print copy of his book for me to go thru and edit. I worked on that for about an hour, and then Teeds came over, and we headed to Southland.
I remember back in the day, when Southland was pretty pissweak and it’s only drawcards were Target and Big W. There’s a Myers but my family never shopped there when I was younger, coz it was so pricey. Now Southland have got everything under the sun, including Pretzels! Jeez, that Marge Simpson style Pretzel wagon sure do make a good cinnamon pretzel. Although, is $3.20 a bit pricey for an oversized donut?? Maybe I’m just a tightarse. Man, even if I had a million dollars, I’d still be a tightarse and shop at Kmart. It’s just my nature.

After Southland, we headed out to Fountain Gate. Teeds was looking for a white boob tube at Supre, and Southland didn’t have any, hence the epic drive out to FG. I hadn’t been there for about 10 years! Man, it’s huge and so different to the way I remember it.
While Teeda tried on stuff in Supre, I just stood there like an idiot. A bunch of Paris Hilton clones filled the store, browsing racks of skin tight jeans, while I did my best to hide amongst the walls of tiny tee shirts with faux punk statements for faux punk teens. The salesgirls walked past me, as though I were invisible. Perhaps they wished I was. I don’t quite fit the stores image.
Oddly enough, while society tells me it’s not right to be a fat chick, I am, for the most part, quite happy with the way I look. Yes, I have those days where I feel fat, but all girls do. I have bad hair days like everyone else. I have ugly days where I feel like the only way I could look any better is by impersonating TuckerBag, but tonight, as I stood in Supre, I felt totally unattractive and worthless.
It’s rare I feel like that, but for some reason, I just couldn’t make the feeling shift. I walked out of the store, banished to wait in the thoroughfare with the mothers and fathers of two tone blonde teens with totally disposable incomes.

Thankfully, Teeds found the white boob tube, and we were outta there. Self esteem rising, rising, rising….

I did take specific notice of the fat chick stores as we walked past them. All fine and dandy if you’re in the over 40’s scene, but sucks if you don’t like floral or circus tents. My frustration with this only leads me to be more determined and adamant to design my own clothing line. I just need someone who can draw, and someone who can sew. Any takers?? I’m thinking Route 66 meets Hot Topic as a general influence.

Swung by Mum and Dads on the way home. Geez, my old man shits me more and more with every time I see him. He’s so fucking rude and hostile, which totally contradicts my mums compassionate personality. She’s fun and lively and full of hope, yet Dad is just such a drag. He constantly uses me as the butt of his jokes. He’s one of these people that has to put others down in order to make himself feel better. Such a sad, bitter old man. I find myself more and more inclined to cut him out of my life entirely. If only it were that easy…

Coffee tomorrow with Greg and talk about the book, so I should get going.

Oh, it’s Columbo’s 1st Birthday today!!! My little girl is getting so big!! Happy Birthday Cutie!

Wednesday Night

I was worried that the Neighbours 20 year Reunion was going to be shit, but thankfully it picked up in the last 5 minutes. Man, I hate that Hannah Martin though. She’s as ugly as she is annoying. What a turd.
Was Nicola Charles pregnant? Or was her face just fatter than it was before? She looks really different nowadays. Well, atleast I thought so.

After Neighbours, Greg called to tell me he’d be late to my house. His car broke down and something or other was flooded. But when he finally got here, he wreaked of petrol, the poor bloke! But on the upside, he came bearing biscotti! Mmmm. He wanted to go out for dinner, but I whinged that it was too cold outside. So instead we got some noodles and came back here and watched Law & Order, then my fave show of the week, The Shield. Man that show is good.
Then we lazed around talking for an hour or two. It came as a great suprise to me that he owned Guns N Roses cds! And he’d seen Iron Maiden in concert, twice! Would never have picked it! Ha, there’s some bogan in him after all!

Anyhow, nothing exciting to report I’m afraid. Oh oh, actually…how’s this for wierd? I put an ad on Melbourne Exchange, looking for someone who needed a housemate. This guy Rich called me to offer his house. Unfortunately, he lives in West Footscray, and it’s just too far away to manage, but get this! I mentioned I wanted to be close to my parents in Keysborough. He said his folks lived there! Turns out, we grew up 10 houses down from one another! How’s that for coincidence! So, while I’m not going to move in with him, we do plan on keeping in touch. Totally wierd, very cool.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got! Take it easy punters!

Prue

“You can be my wingman anytime”

So I’m breaking the lease, and moving in with Jamie and Caren in Box Hill.
Had lots of people come through the house to have a look on Saturday, which is a good sign. Apparantly someone put in an application today, and they want to move in in 2 weeks. Happy days!
Jim called tonight and I suggested he come round and we sit down and work out the bills and I what I owe him for said bills, and then it can all be finished with.
I can smell something really wierd and it’s bugging the hell out of me! What is it??? I searched everywhere and I couldn’t find anything suss that would smell. It kinda smells like Vegemite?? Hrmm, wierdness.
I spose it’s okay, as long as I can’t smell toast. Eeek!

Spent Saturday night with Teeds and Chops, eating KFC and talking shit. Chops stuck around for about 2 hours after Teeda left, which suprised me, but in a good way. I enjoyed hanging out with him. It’s been a long long time since I felt that comfortable with him. The last 2 years or so, I’ve felt like he hasn’t really wanted to be around me, or that he didn’t like me anymore. So it was a nice suprise to have him hang out Saturday night.

Sunday night, I spent with Teeda and we ate a terribly average Bi-Lo Meat Lovers pizza. I suspect there’d be more meat on the Vegetarian! Man, frozen pizzas are crap. Then Greg came round, and we just chatted and watched TV. Teeds went home early, coz I think she was tired. Greg stayed til about 12am, which was good, coz I’d missed him recently. He’s always good to hang out with, and most of the time I forget there’s more than 10 years in age between us. You’d think I’d notice it, but I don’t. He’s just someone who’s company I really enjoy.

My mum is beautiful. She came over today to help me out. I hurt my back somehow last night. I didn’t do anything to it, it just started spasming and hurting like hell, and this morning when I woke up, I could barely move. So my gorgeous mum came round to help me out with stuff I needed to do today. Good egg, she is.

God, what a boring update. Wish I had something exciting to tell you, but alas, I have no news. Oh, there was some intermitant texting between Mullet Adam and myself, but as per usual, it died in the arse as soon as we were past the small talk stage. I was sad, still am sad about that. He drives me mental, in both the fantastic and annoying way. So mad that he can’t just tell me how he feels, so instead he just goes all silent. Grr. Fuck you Tantalus with a pineapple in the arse! Anyways, while it makes me sad, I’m not gonna sit around and get down about it. Not because I don’t care, but just because I chose not to let it affect me in a detrimental manner.

In totally unrelated news, I got the Diff’rent Strokes theme ringtone! *Much rejoycing* I also got the Top Gun theme. Not DangerZone, but the little ditty they play all the way thru the movie, you know Do do do do do do do do do, do do dooo do do dooo do do do do? Top tune! Hahaha although my rendition doesn’t really do it justice!

Anyhoo, I’m goin to get myself an Ice Coffee milk and cheese sandwich.

I DONT WANNA GO TO THE DENTIST!!!!

NES: A metaphore for love

Tonight Teeda and I spoke about being single.

Being single is fantastic. You can do what you want, when you want and there’s no one there to nag you about it, or make you feel guilty or to answer to. Being single can be wonderful and liberating and empowering. It gives you time to learn new things about yourself and time to think about what you desire from life. Being single, in and of itself, can be a fantastic experience.
The only time being single is difficult is when there’s someone you desire,that you can’t have. When there’s no one that you truely desire in your life, then being single is more fun than the first time you ever played Super Mario Brothers on NES. But wanting a certain someone, picturing a particular person in your life that you can’t have, and feeling a sense of loneliness because that person isn’t involved in your every day life is about as much fun as losing controllers for said NES, and just looking at the TV wistfully, remembering how much fun it was when the Super Mario ditty filled your now silent loungeroom.

Sunday Night

Hadn’t updated, so I thought I should get around to it!
Kev spent 5 days down here with me. I had a really great time. I think while he was here he felt really confidant, and I hope he took that home with him. He’s a sweet, wonderful guy with a heart of gold, and he’s gonna make an awesome guy for a lucky gal!
We spent most of our time hanging out here, and with friends, and we went and visted my folks. I think my dad came as a bit of a shock for Kev, considering Kev’s quite reserved, and let’s just say my dad’s a character!

I’ve had the worst nose bleeds in the last few weeks. I had one about 2 months ago too, which I think was stress related. I think they’re all stress related to be honest, but I’m gonna get checked out by the doctor just in case. And no! I wasn’t picking my nose when it happened. “The doctor said I wouldn’t have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger out of there!” -Ralph Wiggum
My nose bleed 3 times today, and once yesterday. Just out of nowhere.

Frequent nosebleeds may mean you have a more serious problem. For example, nosebleeds and bruising can be early signs of leukemia. Nosebleeds can also be a sign of blood clotting disorders and nasal tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous). ARGHHHHHHHHH! Okay okay, I’m sure it’s just stress or something, but hey, better to be safe than sorry!

I was supposed to go out for dinner with Greg tonight, but coz my nose bled so much during the day, I just felt light headed and yukky and really didn’t want to go out, so we’ve postponed it til Wednesday I think. Should be good. We’re going to some asian place in Mt Waverley that do really good tofu, apparantly. Yum!!

So, instead of going out for dinner, I hung out with Andrea and watched Big Brother. At about 8pm, Jamie turned up at the door. Was really glad to hang out with him. We talked until about 1, and then he peddled home. It was freezing outside! Poor bugger! He woulda been so cold! I remember when I was younger and I’d ride my bike in the cold, and as I’d ride, I’d always get a wet nose and it would always be all snotty. TMI, I know haha. Good memories they are!

James has moved all his stuff out of the house. The only thing left is the trailer in the garage for his motorbikes. I guess he’ll come and get it some time this week.
To be honest, the last few times I’ve seen him, I’ve just wanted to tell him to ‘fuck off’. He’s been so rude and such a wanker. While I’ll always love him, part of me really dislikes him.

I’m going to the dentist on Tuesday. Don’t let me chicken out!! My wisdom tooth woke me up the other morning, coz it was so bloody painful! I finally am biting the bullet, pardon the pun, and getting something done about it! Terrified, yes… but I need it done. My teeth are killin me!

Anyhoo, I’m gonna head to bed and watch the Bruce Lee story, or what’s left of it.

Take care kids.
Love Prue

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Holy Snappin Arseholes.
Saturday to Saturday… 337 unique visitors to my site.
On Tuesday, I had 72 unique hits! What the fuck is that?!!? I love it!

Someone really loves me….or hates me! hahaha I suspect it’s prolly the latter.

The boys are in the process of moving out at the moment. Joel came in and said that he’d have stayed if he hadn’t met Elise. I’m really happy for him. They are gorgeous together and E’lise is a complete doll.
Jim said he didn’t want to move out, but he had to. I laughed so hard.

Then I felt slightly panicky. Hadn’t felt like that for ages. Feelin fine now. Once the boys have their stuff out, I will tidy the lounge and do stuff. Atleast I will be able to have things the way I like them, even if it’s only for a few weeks.

Kev is coming down from Echuca today. He’s prolly about 30km from the City atm. It’s wierd! I’ve never met anyone that lived so far away…from the Net I mean. It’s odd coz living nearly 5 hours away, it can’t really be a day trip can it? So he’s staying. I’m not sure how long he’s staying for. Depends on how well we get along I guess hahaha. He doesn’t have to be back til Friday though. If we don’t get along, he has a friend in Oakleigh he can stay with too, which is a relief for both of us, I guess. It’d be such a shit situation if he got here and we hated eachother and he had to stay! hahaa Now that would be a pissa.
Although I can’t imagine not getting along with him. He’s a really lovely guy. A real gentleman. A rare find in this day and age.
I gotta think of stuff for us to do while he’s here! And my DVD player is broken too! Bah!!!
