pumpkins!
i'm back in sydney and so glad to be here. brisbane was full of rad folks but sydney is just way more exciting and fun... makes me high on life. which i like to be. spent christmas doing the orphan thing with tez, dah, and a whole bunch of other people who should comment on my journal so that i can friend request them. (meeting sg people in real life before exchanging words with them online = the win.)
i also got to hang out with cleverthings and kye, as well as undine_white and of course mr s_eldorado. we went to byron bay for a couple of days before christmas which was absolutely rockin' - i am super glad to have had a chance to check it out. i did not surf. alas. maybe someday.
i have loads of pictures from brisbane but they won't be up for quite some time. you see, marni, with whom i am bunking for the time being, has dial-up interweb (gasp!) and my photographs are living on my laptop which i will not be connecting to her webbernet. i may have some internet cafe days in the near future, though.
on january 20th i leave the land of sun, salt and marsupials for the cold, harsh canadian winter.
to answer my question from last entry, i do sometimes wish that i was less impulsive. i make snap decisions about everything and occasionally my decisions prove to be a bit rash and it's caused problems in my life. i don't know that it's something i can or will change, however; if i muddle up my decision-making with too much thinking i tend to get wishy-washy and regretful. i find that if i make a decision on impulse, i have no chance to regret the decision, no way to doubt my judgment - as i didn't use any in the first place.
i've been meaning to rant a bit about gender norms in homosexual relationships. do you care? maybe. just, part of the reason i really love dating women is that the gender role is taken out of the equation... there's no longer any stigma attached to the whole traditional male pursuant/dominant role, female coy/submissive role thing. i've never been too keen on that idea... but it seems that SO many women seem to fall victim to the gender roles in lesbian relationships. it seems super backward to me.
i suppose that it is the way we're brought up, the way our society teaches us to be, and it's the general assumption that even in homosexual relationships there's a femme/butch standard. to each their own, of course, and if that's what works for them, i'm all for it, but personally in relationships i am interested in removing that standard entirely. i just wish that more women felt the same way - but it may be that it will be my responsibility to introduce more women to this way of thinking...
and of course it's not only a problem in homosexual relationships. heterosexual relationships need this kind of reform, too. i daresay that a lot of women might be unpleasantly surprised should their male partners ask them to open a pickle jar, however...
do i make any sense? probably not. i seem to have lost a lot of my ability to express myself clearly with words since i stopped writing critical pieces. (that is, when i graduated from high school.) that really bothers me.
god, i really don't have any photos to spice this entry up. um, here are some from my flickr.
a photo i took of my friends' wedding back in august. the best kind of love!
me at their wedding. it was the day after i got nailed by that pesky jeep liberty.
me hanging washing out to dry in new zealand.
