Congrats on moving to Melb, I've never lived in Sydney so I can't say what those people are like. Though in 2000 I met some nice people.

There are lots of 'holes in the walls' in the city, just have a look down some of the smaller lanes for some bars and cafes. I'm sure you'll find a fav. one or two

Once you settle in I think you'll enjoy it more (I hope).

Where did you move too?

Know how you feel. I'm in exactly the same boat. Just gotta give it some time I guess.....

Helloooooooo?

lol
by golly
seems you dont have much time to yourself
stay home, grab a bottle of red, do some painting, or draw or write or read in the bath...
simple pleasures but oh so good...

Im in WA myself, so its a little more tame here.. its nice for different stages thru your life - like retiring or raising kids, which im neither.. so i really should move again soon i think :p

well i do hope you fix your friday night entertainment issue..

and thanks for accepting my friend add thingy.. im new on here.. glad to meet you

Sux that i'm going to Brisbane on Friday nite. I would have loved to show you some of the places i've found since i moved down here. The croft is pretty cool, i have yet to be there when its got heaps of ppl though. I assume u know how to get there??? When you look down Croft Alley it will look like a dead end but after weaving through the alley way, its right at the end. On thursday nights at the spot in Brunswick there is latin dancing if u like that sort of thing. Plenty of guys to sweep u off your feet.

Which uni are you looking at??? I need to see a careers counseller as well to see what i need to do to get where i want to be. I guess this makes me officially not a nerd if i want to get out of I.T.

Anyways, i hope you have a great stay and you love it down here.

Aaaah! The joy that is Tsubi kids(or is it Ksubi kids) they're goof for a laugh if nothing else.

Which Uni?

At some point country music sneaks up and whispers in your ear "I was here all along" and you end up having to submit.

Happened to me too.

Ooooh, well you still have the movies to go...

Was that the last Harry Potter book?

i have one of those annoying fringes.. ts just grown that way.. my brother sends me emails taunting me.. with EMO in bit cap letters. I however don't feel emo. I just have an annoying fringe. i also smile.

I feel your stress. And I have been where you are, I was there for four years. But having friends is less about location than going out and making friends. You can join social groups, book groups and any other associations in your area. Most decent size cities have singles groups also.

Hmmmm..... i actually have done what you are thinking of doing. I left my friends and family and moved to Melbourne , i also took up smoking a couple of weeks back. The vibe in Melbourne is great and there are so many great places to go out and about.

Let me know if you move down, im up for friends thing. Meeting at the same coffee shop (we can exchange for a pub if need be) everyday and debreifing. You'll have to let me know which personality you are tho so we dont double up, and we'll need to find a phoebe.

YUm, I think I have been there, we had a baanquet and yes, I thought the price was pretty good too

I never go out anymore though..boring I am

coda sound really good.

Ive actually been going to lots of sound art type stuff this last week and its been very refreshing and interesting.
Youve picked the right place to holiday for arty stuff/ music / coffee / drinks.

Ill look for that vid next time im in the store....
Id be happy to show you around through the week, I also recommend this site - http://www.threethousand.com.au/current/ for cool happenings etc in melbourne. there is another site but i cant think of it atm.
Another good thing about this city is there is a festival of some kind on every week (or sometimes more than one) so there is always something to check out....
Id be happy to go and do stuff through the week when your here.. but im booked out for that weekend...

If i hear of anything that sounds interesting, ill let you know

Lot's of agreement.

I spent years thinking I didn't want tattoos, because i couldn't think of anything that i wanted to have on me forever, and I thought they should make an important life step.

Now I have two that i want, one for when I finish my current project (phd thesis) and one for when I embark on my next project (top sekrit). And I CAN'T WAIT to get these tattoos, but I have to do lots more work between now and then.

Neither or them will be butterflies.

It is the one thing that has stopped me from getting a tattoo... the lack of meaning. The money is sitting in the bank but the idea doesn't exist yet... plus on top of that I have convinced myself to have an idea for a tattoo and then keep that idea for a whole year. When the year is up and I still want it... it is meant to be.

Thanks for the friend addy. It's always awesome to meet more Aussies!!!
Keep rocking!!!

that's a fair fucking genius way of combining school and ass shaking.

so you like NIN huh? did you go to any shows in may? (i'm sure if i read back a little way in your blog i could check but i just got off a fourteen hour shift and i'm tired)

The Blink!!! Last year I went to Sydney for the Children of Bodom concert. The night before the concert we went to the Blink and I have to say there was some very sexy ladies there... you will definatly find Metal Fashion at the Blink.
