Yes I am alive
Posted Aug 18, 1999
Due to the fact that I went forward in time, and found people wondering where I am and thinking I am dead, I thought that I might come back and tell people that I am not dead.
Turns out my disappearence is due to the fact that I went forward in time, so no one could actually find me here, so they thought I was dead.
To let the truth be known, work is busy and I have an upcoming plane trip (er not the one found at http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=9231&thread=14692 ) I will not be around. So instead of waiting for all the fan mail and that, I thought I would say now, instead of in the future, 'Yes I am alive, and the rumours of my death were greatly over exagerated'
Though if you hear about a plane crash that was, flying from Melbourne to Sydney (on Friday) or Sydney to Melbourne (on Monday), then please see if I am alright.

Plane Trip From Hell
Posted Aug 3, 1999
Well, it's not my story. Just that I thought I would start a new thread in the same vain as the 'Neglected Entries' Party, Alien Abduction, and 'Abduction Island'.
So sit back in the departure lounge until the plane is ready to take off. Please check in all lougage before entry, and all terrorist, please sit on the left hand side. And thank you for choosing 'Garibaldi's Cattle Craft Airlines'

6 Months, and still going strong
Posted Aug 1, 1999
Well, it's been 6 months in Melbourne. I think I have finally broken through the depression, and the loneliness, so the only way is up from here.
If someone was to ask me what I like about Melbourne, I guess I would have to say that the people are generally nice.
Strangely though I now feel like I am a local. It has been so long now, and the excuse of 'I am new to Melb, so I am not sure where you a talking about' is running thin, but also I made an effort to be very observent about where places are.
Though I sometimes wish I was back in Townsville, I am more than happy to be able to start my life here in Melbourne. The initial break from home was the hardest, and since then it has gotten easier, and I always know that my family is only a phone call away.
I am free, and independent from people. I no longer need people around me to feel that I 'free'. I guess I used those people, and for that I am sorry to all of them, I was only escaping the pressures of the day, and not really dealing with the problems.
These days I just want people around as I enjoy socialising, and it makes me feel alive to have people around me. My next major step for independence is going to be getting my license.
For those who don't know, I am 24, but can't drive a car. I have been taking lessons, and my instructor has asked me to take an extra $50.50 next lesson so he can book in an exam for me. So after that I will not need someone to drive me, just someone with a car, though for work I use public transport and it's not that bad.
So I look back and think what have I achieved that makes me, me. I think that the complete turn around in my personality to back to what it used to be is the biggest thing. Also I am able to communicate to people better, which definitely helps when going for job interviews in the IT industry.
I may have left Townsville for the wrong reason, but if I was to go back there to live, it would be a complete waste of the last 6 months. I love Melbourne, I love where I live, I love who I am, and I currently have someone who I love.
Well to all those that have read this, I hope that no matter what you are going through today, that you can sort out your problems before tomorrow. This is probably the greatest thing I have gotten from counselling, and it works.
So if you're in a situation, like you have moved away from home, or dealing with life in general, or trying to find your independence, I'd suggest deal with the simple problems of the day and work on the major problems over time, and life will soon be good for you again.
So with this I say, I look forward to the next 6 months in Melbourne. Whether it be good or bad, I know that I will be able to deal with life.

Queen Greatest Hits III?
Posted Jul 30, 1999
Could it be true? Could the great rock band, Queen, will be releasing another Greatest Hits Album. If the update of their offical site is anythign to go by, then yes.
Check out http://queen-fip.com and see for yourself. There is very little info about it, but beign the offical site, and the front page has a link 'Hits III' I would put all my money on that Qeen is releasing a new Greatest Hits.
However, with Hits I, Hits II, Queen Rocks, I don't think that there is much left, though songs from Made In Heaven will surely make there way onto Hits III.
Oh I am so excited.

My sister and bro-in-law's upcoming trip
Posted Jul 15, 1999
Looks like my sister and brother-in-law are going to be in Sydney on the 12th - 26th of August. Considering they live in Townsville, this is as close as they will get to Melbourne.
I got an email from my brother-in-law and he asked if I could catch up with them. I think I will go, as I also have friends up there that I wish to see.
I am so happy. I feel a lot better than I did 2 days ago, and this just topped it right off.
