LIES, IT"S ALL LIES!

Ok. So that sounds a little more dramatic than it was meant to. What I mean is that my last post was a promise to post more regularly... and I haven't. So, I lied. Apparently in the last sentence of my last post I also told everyone to go and buy some bitches. What I meant was 'go and buy some, bitches.' I'm taking the confusion caused by the misplaced comma as the reason no one bought any of the jewelry that I have made for Querelle'10. So now that the confusion is cleared up I know that I will be selling a lot of jewelry.

Things that have happened since my last post.
- I am still studying Psych, although I failed my Sociology subject. Oh well, there is always next semester.
- I am doing a statistics subject over summer. Oh joy.
- I went to the USA with Tracey.
- I spent time with my friend A while over there.
- I finally saw Kandinsky's works at the Guggenheim. What an amazing day!
-I am possibly am in the process of becoming a Daddy.

And I promise that over the next couple of weeks I will get back here and blog about these and other things.

Maybe.

The Official 'I Will Update More Often' Post

I know that I've not written in a long time, and let us be honest, the last couple of entries were a bit of a cop out - with more input from the genius of Ms Amanda Fucking Palmer than from me.

Well, this is the official 'I promise I will update more often' post. With pictures.

The things that have happened since I last posted...

-I dropped out of Nursing.

-I picked up psychology.

-I moved into a large pink house that makes me think of walking into a giant vagina every time I come home.

-I went to Canberra for Queer Collaborations'09.

-I bought furniture and tickets to fly to the States (16th October)

-I now have a 1 year old nephew who is walking.

There are other things that have happened, or that I have done. I can't really think of them now.

The thing that I want to elaborate on is my time at Queer Collaborations'09. I arrived feeling quite old and cynical, after all I am 35 years old (everyone else there seemed to still be in their early 20's) and I've been involved in the queer community for "Years and years."

And then I realised that I shouldn't be so cynical because I learnt more in the first day of QC'09 than I had in the "Years and years" that I thought I'd spent involved in the queer community. I realised that I hadn't really spent time in the queer community, but just with a bunch of friends who happened to be gay and knew about as much as I did - which was squat.

Since getting back to Bathurst from Canberra I've been doing a lot of work through the Queer Collective at CSU and some of it with the SRC (who can be helpful at times, when certain people let their egos down and actually listen to what is being said.) One of the great things that we have organised is Queer Week which starts on Monday and looks like it is going to be fabulous.

I know I promised pictures, ut instead I'll give you all a couple of links.

Firstly, Ms Amanda Fucking Palmer...

Secondly a link to the jewelry I have been making to raise money for the production of Querelle'10. Buy some bitches!

Let Me Try This Again…

I enjoy writing blogs.  I’ve kept a number of them over the years, and I’m sure that if you googled any of the online aliases I’ve held over time that you will find the list I’ve left scattered behind me, like some sort of depraved one-sided litany.  The bastard children of illness and insight, of affliction and awareness.  My attempts at breathing a semblance of meaning into my pain and trying to help it gain a strength for a few sessions of psychological self-flagellation later on.

 

So, I decided to start another blog and she was supposed to be a commentary on things that were happening in society around me… but she told me to fuck off.  So then I tried to make her into a blog about our attempts to find a sperm donor and conceive a child this year, but then she said “You know?..  No.”

 

But now I’m trying to build her into something new.  I’m trying to feed this one on truth and not self-pity and drama.

 

Perhaps I’ll conceive something this year after all.

 

"So this little song is probably...she's one of my best friends of all the songs. And um, she just didn't want to be on any of the records. She was supposed to be on Pele, and then she told me to fuck off. And then she was supposed to be on Choirgirl, sorta kinda, but then she said, 'you know...no.' And then she decided she liked being played live, so I play her a lot."  ~Tori Amos Cooling
