Question Time with Prue

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Spending my weekends with a girl from school, Penny. She’d dress me up in flannelette, ripped jeans and a black Jim Beam tee shirt. She’d trowell layers of pasty white foundation across my skin, and cake black eyeshadow in my sockets, so that I looked like an overweight heroin addict. We’d have her mother drop us at Cranbourne shopping centre, and we’d loiter, hustling ciggies from anyone who’d give 2 underage kids a taste of flavour country. Her mum would pick us up sometime after “the movie had finished”, and we’d return to her place to lay across her bed and listen to Nirvarna, while she sobbed into her pillow about how in love with Kurt Cobain she was. I never told her, but I really didn’t like Nirvana that much.

New Kitties and a Desire for AirCon

It has been officially decided that air con is a much needed asset in the house. It was so hot on the weekend, and the house just kept on absorbing that heat! Seriously, whoever designed this house was a wanker. No crossbreeze. West facing windows to a hot afternoon sun. No air con. Dumbarses.

Over the weekend we did lots of bayside frollocking. I managed to escape being fried to a crisp by lathering myself in 30+ every 20 minutes or so. Damn that lack of melonin! Greg and Ange hung around on Saturday night and we all sat outside in the front yard trying to keep cool. It was obvious at 11.30pm that it wasn’t going to cool down any time soon, so we wandered down to the beach for a dip. I got bitten by something and now I have a stupid big thing on my foot that hurts. *Waves fist at the beach*

Nate got wasted on Saturday night, which went completely unnoticed by me. He’s a very inconspicuous drunk and not rowdy or any more annoying than when sober. I didn’t realise how pissed he was til I heard him spewing at about 9am. It must have been pretty loud, as those of you who know me know that I could sleep through a freakin freight train sprinting through my bedroom.
I got up and grabbed a face washer to cool him down, and patted his back as he delivered his insides into the porcelin. Nasty stuff. Why do men make so much noise when they hurl? One of lifes many mysteries it would appear. After a few more encounters with the toilet bowl, I made him up a bed on the sofa and put on “Dead Like Me”

Ange, Bron, Greg and Teeds all came round for a swim in the arvo, and stuck around for dinner courtesy of the Vietnamese resteraunt around the corner. Awesome fried rice!!

I went fishing with Teeda this afternoon down at Mordi pier. In keeping with tradition, we caught nothing. I did however, pick up a wicked dose of sunburn on my arm. Came home, watched Family Guy with Nate and Teeds, then went to pick up 2 kittens from a woman at the Docklands.
Nates new kittens are cute as buttons, although Columbo has her nose out of joint about it. I’m sure she’ll be okay with them in a few days time. Hopefully she may take on some sort of maternal role which would be great. If not, they will give her plenty to chase and no end of excitement.

Nate and I, while still broken up, are getting along really well. I’m really glad that we’ve remained awesome friends. He’s been terrific to me and I care about him heaps. He moved into the other bedroom Saturday night. It was wierd at first…I had so much room in the bed…it felt awkward and good and wierd and uncomfortable all at the same time. After two nights in seperate sleeping quarters it doesn’t seem so wierd thankfully. It’s kind of nice to have the whole bed again. Doesn’t feel too odd to see him walk to another room at night. I guess because we hadn’t really been doing that well for a while before we broke up last week, it doesn’t seem too different to normal. We hadn’t been romantic or sexual or lovey dovey in a fair while, and so it’s not too far removed from our relationship set up. I actually really like it. I’m glad we’re still so close.

Gonna go and play some more with the kitties, then go to bed. Supposed to go and visit a pregnant friend tomorrow while she’s on Maternity leave. She’s due early Feb. We’re meant to be there about lunch time, so I’ll have to get up early.
Gotta go and grab an Ice cream cake for Nates birthday on Wednesday as well.

That’s about all I’ve got!

20 random facts coz I’m bored

1. I was disturbingly excited to get a “Nest of Tables” for my Birthday. There’s nothing that can’t be made better by putting it in a “Nest”.

2. When I drink Milo, I load so many spoons of Milo into the drink that I’m unable to stir it and then the milk just sits on top of it. I mix it into a paste, and eat it with a spoon.

3. I have a terrible fear of leaving burning candles unattended. I had a boyfriend try and be romantic once by lighting our room up with a billion tea light candles, and before we could get jiggy with it, I had to go around and blow every single one of them out because I was so paranoid a fire would start.

4. I hate native Australian flowers with a passion.

5. My kitchen mascot for this house is a little tiny Millhouse, that came out of a Simpsons style Kinder Suprise egg. He keeps the good karma flowing.

6. My feet are some of the worst you’ll ever see. They’re cracked and gross at the bottom and sometimes I sit there and pick at it, pulling ham size slices of skin off my sole. And I love it!

7. I’d rather give up cigarettes than Coca Cola.

8. I plan on giving up neither of them though. It’s just one of those things that I thought was wierd.

9. I used to think I was the reincarnation of Elvis Presley purely based on the fact my Birthday is Elvis Presley day in Hawaii.

10. I collect tacky tin ash trays with vintage stuff on them, like pin up girls and cars. I have about 12 of them so far.

11. The lady at the hairdressers cut the tiniest fringe you’ve ever seen, yesterday. It looks ridiculous so I keep trying to hide it under the rest of my hair. Stupid woman.

12. I used to collect Elvis memorabilia and at one point had about 5grand worth of Elvis-y stuff. I lost it all in the great debarcle of 99.

13. I talk to people on my mobile, while in the toilet… I do this more often than I’d like to admit.

14. If I’ve known you for more than about a month, I have an open door toilet policy. It doesn’t have to swing both ways, I’m just a wierdo like that.

15. If my house was burning down, I’d grab my cat and my Graphics Tablet. What a sad case!

16. I like “the honk” when you’re leaving someones place. If I don’t honk, or recieve “the honk” I feel like it’s bad form.

17. If someone lets me in when I’m merging, I normally wave so much that I lose control of the steering for a second or 2.

18. When I was little, my grandmother caught me puttings pegs on her dogs knob. We thought it was funny at the time. Turns out, it wasn’t.

19. My old lady pulled out her vegie patch just so I had room for people to walk around at my 21st. What a good egg.

20. I have a secret love….. 7th Heaven. Fuck, I love that show. It’s so cheesey. Reminds me of 80’s television.

Finally!

I went and got my new tatt today! Hooray for the boys down at Tattoo City, Dandenong!
I adore it! It’s still weeping a bit and is a bit tender, but that’s par for the course!
Here it is here…

Then, I went and got my hair done. I only went in for a cut, but came out with this…

I love it!!!!

Fuck, it’s still so hot and it’s nearly 1am!
The house is so freakin hot and stuffy inside! I just wanna go and sleep on the beach! Which I would, but I might get run over by the little tractor in the morning and that would suck arse.
So I’m off to bed to lay in front of the fan, and complain about the heat.

Breaking up is hard to do…. Most of the time.

So I couldn’t go on, doing the half half thing. It sounded wonderful in my head, but in real life, I just felt like I didn’t know if I was coming or going. So I told Nate I needed a decision about whether he wanted to be with me or not. Turns out it’s “or not”. He said he hadn’t been into it since before he went to Toowoomba for Xmas with his family. I had a gut feeling that was the case.

Feelin hrmmm… a bit “meh” at the moment. We’re still buddies and we’re still gonna live together and I love him heaps, but we both know we’re better off as mates in the end. It will just take a bit of adapting to, and yeah… you all know how it is.

So yup, that’s about it punks. I’m thinking of goin down the beach and havin a swim.

Birthday Weekend

So, instead of boring you all, I’ll keep this in point form…Coz really, who doesn’t love dot points??

• Friday was my birthday! We had 12 or so people round to the house, watched a movie, sat around, acted like dickheads. Event of the season..well, my only event of the season. Awesome time.
• I got a nest of tables! Would you fuckin believe it? Dude, I’m officially old! And I love it! They match our entertainment unit! Very sexy!
• I got a swish new hand bag which I’ll show you tomorrow, coz I’m lazy.
• Money was given for me to get my new tatts! Much rejoycing!
• 30 cans of Coke is by far too much for 12 people to drink, leaving me with a vast supply for the rest of the weekend! Love.
• Saturday Nate and I almost broke up. Just not really working out. We’ve decided to stay together, but we’re both pretty aware that in a short time, we may no longer be a couple.
• We’ve both decided that if we do break up, we’ll stay in the house together.
• Am sad, but glad we are so honest with eachother.
• Saturday night, Greg stayed the night.
• Nate and I had sex for the first time in ages.
• We were meant to start Karate on Sunday morning but slept in, and have now decided we can’t be arsed with all the bowing and respect, so no more Karate.
• Greg brought a friends dog he’s petsitting over, the dog jumped at the cat, the cat scratched the shit out of me and now I’m covered in ouches.
• Sunday morning, breakfast at Cafe Blah Blah. Verdict: Don’t get the pancakes. They’re too small and totally bad value for ten bucks.
• Monday just did stuff around the house like washing and what have you.
• Monday night, I drove home from Mum and Dads.
• Womans house next door caught on fire. Brought her inside for a cup of tea and a chat. House okay.
• Feeling average. Scatched, bad hair, heart hurting, foot asleep.

Yeah, that’s about it. Now here are some pics from my Birthday.

BACK ON THE AIR!

Did I tell you some cunt stole my handbag at the BIG BIG SALE WE’RE FORCIBLY EJECTING PEOPLE IT’S SO BIG at the Exhibition Building? That was last week, and luckily someone handed it in. You know what they took out of my handbag? $25 cash, a pack of smokes, IMITATION! Angel perfume, a tiny Homer Simpson figurine and they even took 2 keyrings of Nates keys! They kindly returned my lipgloss, my wallet along with my credit cards and my keys. Now, I can understand taking the money and the smokes, but for fucks sake, why take some 5 buck crap perfume and the keyrings? I had such a good laugh when I got it back. Mind you, I cried when it was stolen. I felt like such a dork for crying over my handbag.
I reported it to the police and they laughed that someone would even steal my bag when I gave them a description of it…

Me :”Well, it’s a black velvet hand bag, with glitter all over that spells out different names of Casinos in Las Vegas and it has some pink Flamingos on it, and it’s got red fringing all over the sides…”
Cop: “What kind of fringing?”
Cop 2: “Like Charlston Fringing on a Flapper dress?”
Me: “Yup, that’s the type”
Insert Cops laughing hysterically.

Anyhoo, the Cops were actually very friendly and helpful, even though they thought my handbag was tackier than Chewy under a movie seat. And in the end, it all turned out okay, but let’s just say that I think I’ll be getting a new handbag. I’d never lost a handbag ever, until I got this one 4 months ago, and since then I’ve lost it twice. I think it’s got bad handbag karma, or something like that. Actually, I’m probably just a dickhead for losing it twice, but it’s the handbag that will pay the price. Mum said she’d get me a new handbag for my Birthday (Which is in less than a week, btw!), so I might look on Ebay for a cute handbag with cherries on it.

The girls said for my Birthday, they’ll chip in to help me pay for my tattoo! Yay! Can’t wait. I’m going to get swallows on my shoulders! I’ll be sure to post pics when I do it.

Greg already gave me a birthday gift…he gave Nate and me our Birthday pressies early. Nates is on the 25th, mine the 13th. He got us a beach tent!!! I was so excited! It’s awesome and takes bugger all to put up and will stop me from getting burnt! I can’t wait to use it. Might get it out tomorrow and christen it. He also bought us…wait for it, a new toilet seat! Hahaha He complains ours is too flimsy so he bought us some ultra comfy heavy weighted one. He said he was looking for the one that glows in the dark, but apparantly Bunnings don’t stock them haha. It’s wierd thinking of Greg every time I park my naked arse on the toilet seat, but it’s a small price to pay for such a comfy whizz.

Apparantly there’s a lounge suite coming on Monday. No, it’s not the one we’ve ordered but it’s a loan til ours arrives on the 20th! Fuckin, the 20th! I’m so mad I could poke Sydney in the eye with a stick, but either way, a loaner will get us off those cunting beanbags, which will be a godsend!

To make the couch look cool, we got some awesome cushions at Dimmeys the other day. They’re 2 Eight Balls and 2 Dice! They’re totally awesome and so comfy! Hooray for trashy rockabilly cushions in Frangas!

Anyhow, I’m knackered and I should head to bed so I can be up to play in the sun and surf tomorrrow.

Hope you’re all awesome and had a wicked weekend!
Love Prue
