Does anyone ever read User Pages
Posted Jun 22, 1999
Ok, I know people have read my Journal Entries, but I know of only one or two people who have read my User Pages. Surely they aren't that boring, and I have written a few, so you may as well look at them all. Some are funny, and some a very educational, and some are both.
Ah well, prove me wrong by getting at least one on the front page (and not in the most neglected list either)

My trip home
Posted Jun 15, 1999
Well, I went away for the Queen's Birthday weekend to see my family back in Townsville. I have to say that it was an enjoyable weekend, and I was able to say good bye to my family in a different way.
All of my family told me that moving to Melbourne has done me wonders. It was great to hear this, and these kind words have helped me move further on with my life. I am now able to say I no longer consider Townsville my 'home'.
Sure I spent 18 1/2yrs there, and sure I still have family and friends there, but I have a life in Melbourne that I can not trade for anything (well except for some very personal family matters should they ever arise).
However, my trip was a rushed one, and I had no time to scratch myself, so I can't wait to see one of my sisters in November, and my parents for December (I guess sometime in the future my other sister will visit). This way I can spend some personal time with the people in my life that I really love.
Anyway, I have decided to call Melbourne home, and now I have the rest of my life ahead of me.

Negelected Entries
Posted Jun 10, 1999
It has come to my attention that h2g2 makes note of what entries are infact 'negelected'. I feel appauled by such an act, as soon I have made it my quest to make sure that such entries don't be negelected too long.
Actually I am going this get one of my threads in there, but that is another story. If you don't like my idea, then maybe you could help me have one of the busiest threads

Mondayist
Posted May 24, 1999
I never REALLY believed in Mondayist until today. It is as if all the world just decided to hate me today.
Firstly I forgot my belt for my pants to wear to work, means my pants have be sliding down all day. Lucky I sit down for most of it. (I guess that is what you get for wearing boxers).
Next I forget to take my mobile phone with me. Some may see this a a good thing, but just like all the other accessories, I feel half naked with out it.
While going to work I remembered that I forgot pack clothes for tonight and tomorrow into my bag, as I was going to stay at my great aunt's place tonight (due to having Rovers, senior section of Scouts in Oz).
I nearlly missed the train station that I get off to go to work. I started to fall asleep on the train, but at each station I woke up, except for the stop before mine. Just as I heard the doors closing I woke and found I had to get off. I raced to the door and got off just before the train started moving. PHEW!!!
When I got to work, I had noticed that I didn't bring my security pass. Trust to remove it on the weekend for some unknown reason.
To top things off, I forgot my reading glasses. I need them to see when I sit in front of a computer for a while, and since my work requires me to be in front of one most of the day, my eyes are quite sore.
So, to all those people who actually don't believe in mondayist, wait until something like this happens to you. Lucky I didn't go to work naked.... What was that? I am.... ARGH!!!! (Only joking).

Leaving Home Ain't Easy
Posted May 20, 1999
One of my favourite Queen songs is called Leaving Home. It means even more to me now that the fact that I moved out of home close to 4 months now.
I turned 24 a month after I had left home, and at the most I had spent 10 weeks away from home on a Research Scholarship, but I knew I was going back. I had never spent any other time away from the comforts of home, and now I really miss it.
The average person would move out of home, but stay in the same city as their parents, however I moved out of the same city. I didn't just moved a couple of hundred kms away, I moved 3000kms away.
Unlike in Europe, and other continents, travelling 3000kms in Australia can mean you are still in Australia. I am 2 states away from home, but it is an almighty drive home, and fairly expensive flight back.
I used to live in Townsville, Queensland where the population is about 160,000 people. I know live in Melbourne, Victoria where the population numbers in the millions. Sometimes it has been quite a lonely 4 months, and it is just too far to go back home.
Some people are happy to leave home because their home was not a happy one. My home was a happy one as my parents are still together, my oldest sister and her husband had just moved back to the same city, and my other sister and her husband just moved into home after I left. We are a close family, and the troubles of distance sometimes gets to me. I sometimes long to be back in Townsville with the comforts of home.
I now how a life in Melbourne that I would not trade to go back home, but there are times that it would be so lovely to be able to see my mum and my dad, and the love of my life, my 4 year old niece Anglea.
Life does go on, and we do develop new friends, and with the friends I have met down here I have been able to get a job, and I now have the money to fly back home. As at the writing of this journal entry I actually paid for a flight back to see my family for the Queen's Birthday long weekend. It will be great to see them.
