Why bother
I don't see what the point is, when the person you love most pushes you away. I'm not a boastful person, but I do think I'm a pretty good boyfriend, I mean I do nice things for him, get him nice stuff, I'm always trying to make him happy, and yet he tells people he's single. Its really hurtful, knowing that he's told people that, when he said to my face that he tells them about me, how am I supposed to feel about that, I feel used, and it hurts, because I love him so much, and I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt, and I'm still trying, I just need to hear it from him.

Best Day Of My Life
I found a bag containing school books from year 6, and I was reading through one of them, laughing at all the stupid things I came up with and how much I have changed and whats stayed the same, I found a title, 'The Best Day Of My Life' but under neath it was blank. I was a bit confused and sad, I tend to have bad memory when I look back at my childhood, and reading things like my school life timeline in those books was fun and insightful because it reminded me of what happened, but seeing that I left the best day of my life blank confused me, what is the best day of my life? Back then it was 2004 so I would have probably said year 6 camp, but I don't think that had happened yet, otherwise I would have written it, but I haven't really had any days that had held a significant event, each day was the same really, we might go to sydney or the leisure centre every once in a while but it wasn't the best day of my life, it makes me wonder what other people would answer this question with..
But I ask myself the same question today, and I look back at each year, they all got better as I got older, but they also got worse, year 7 was so fun, but my problems at home were just starting out, year 11 was amazing, I came out and it made me so happy, but it was when my depression sunk in and I found myself trying to kill myself, but the past year has been the best year of my life, meeting Dean was the best thing that has happened to me, but I don't think that would be the best day of my life. If I had to put it down to one day, it would be the day that Dean and I were in Newtown, and I took him into the city to go to the Chinese Gardens, we caught a ferry, walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, went to China-town and walked back to Newtown. I didn't care how much money I spent that day, I just wanted to make it as perfect as I could, and seeing him smile all day was amazing it made me so happy, knowing that it was just us.
The biggest problem with my anxiety is that I worry that I can't give Dean what he wants, that I can't afford to take him to amazing places, like Hugh can pay for him to go to Thailand including spending money, and he loves Thailand, but the best I could do was take him to Chinese Garden's, it worries me, but that day was the best day of my life because I felt so, confident I suppose, that I don't need to worry about stuff like that, because I can make him happy. Still, the fact that he hasn't made an effort to see me yet alone talk to me the past couple of days doesn't help at all, that I am always the one that starts the conversation, makes the offer to come over, it just makes me feel like he doesn't want to see me. The worst part is that he uses the excuse that its his mums rules that he can't stay the night, when he used to stay over several nights a week before his mum found out, and even after she found out he would still spend a few nights over, and on top of that, his little brother is staying over a girls house 2 nights in a row and his mum isn't bothered the slightest bit. It's just that if you love someone, you make an effort for them, great now mums called up and ditching me to go to the movies tonight.. I asked Dean yesterday if he would ask his mum if he can stay here tonight and watch movies tonight, he said he will ask so I'm hopeful, except I asked him today if he was going to, and he hasn't given me an answer, still hopeful.
I just wish thing were how it used to be

Fuck
I'm ready for death, I've been prepared for it for a long time. I'm scared as hell, it took me long enough to accept that love was worth having even though I could die soon. I don't even know what I'm thinking anymore, these words make 'no fucking sense to me, I hate reality, I fucking hate it, I can't move an I feel sick, I just want it all to end, it's not anyones fault, I wasn't abused, I wasn't brought up wrong, I wasn't treated bad by anyone, I just want to shut out the thoughts

Ugh
It's getting quite annoying, not to mention hurtful, being ignored and then the intentional making me feel bad, it's really not fair. It's so annoying putting in so much love, trying to make him happy and doing the best I can for him even though he will ignore me. I can't stand these mind games, the acting like somethings wrong but saying it's nothing, is it so hard to say what's wrong? I'd prefer to know what's wrong then to be left in the dark and guess as to what the problem is, did I do something wrong? I love him enough that I would do anything for him, if he is going through a tough time then I'll definitely be there for him, as I have these past couple days, but I still don't know what's going on, that might be his way of dealing with it so I perceiver, would he do the same? It doesn't matter to me really, I do it because I love him, and I do believe that he loves me to, although be doesn't show it, even to the point that he doesn't like me showing it, I don't know what he's afraid of.
I'm not feeling right, in my head, I know it, he knows it, but he still does try to make me feel bad for his amusement, and it's getting pretty hard to deal with, am I foolish. I do get depressed, I tend to think extremely negative, sometimes I do have the thought that I hate myself, it's hard to deal with, but it's better then what I used to think about. It's hard to get better, it really is, when our head is constantly telling you that there is no point, but I do fight it. I feel as though my mind is my enemy, that there is something in there that doesn't want me to be happy, and since the thoughts of suicide have gone, the worst thoughts I have are that he doesn't love me, and I hate myself for it. The thought crosses my mind quite often, and every time it does I hate myself even more for thinking it. I find the concept insane, I can't quite explain it to people, it's like there is this thought that just wants me to fall and go back to how I was, and it is so freaking hard to ignore. The only reason I really have to fight it and be happy is so that I can be happy with dean, I'd imagine people would think that is stupid, but he is the only person that actually makes me feel like it's worth it, even though I get a bit annoyed and hurt from how he can be at times, the way I see it is that he is worth it, over and over. And now I feel selfish, I feel like I am putting him in a position where if he leaves me then I will fall apart, and that's not my intention at all, its like there's a cycle with these thoughts, every time I feel progressive it just finds a way to make me feel bad.
I don't think I'm selfish though, I like to put his happiness before mine, well I try to, I don't find happiness as satisfying from buying something for myself or treating myself with something nice, of I could take dean out to the movies or buy myself a Roger David jacket I'd take the movies in a heartbeat, that's just how I am, I love him, and it also makes me happy when I can make him happy. Now I feel as though I'm rambling, I feel better now though, I do love him, and if he wants time without me and to see other people then I can accept that, it's just it would put my mind at so much more ease if he would tell me that he would prefer to go see someone by himself or have some time to himself, I suppose that sounds reasonable. Actually I'm not really rambling at all, it's your choice to read this or not, it's not like I'm writing a book for a targeted audience, I don't really need to please anyone on here, as rude as that sounds.
Anyways, that is all, it's been good to blog again after so long.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 12: Jonas Brothers - SOS
Friday, May 6, 2011
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 11: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Zephyr Song
A song from your favourite band, and I think it is fair to say that they are my favourite band, I chose this song though because it is quite a moderate song of theirs, its not deep into they're sad songs, or high up there in their up beat songs, nor does it get its funk on like quite a few of them do. Plus the video clip is awesome.
30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 2: A photo of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
![]()
Minus the guy in the blue shirt, the other two are Brown and Jason, Jason has been my best friend from around year 8 till 11 or so and we still remain close friends. Brown was one of my closest friends for quite sometime, but we have drifted our separate ways.

The Catcher in the Rye
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 10: Angus and Julia Stone - The Devil's Tears
A song that makes you fall asleep, I love Angus and Julia Stone, I first heard them on Chillout Sessions 10 I believe, The Beast, and I was captivated by their mellow and chilled out sound. I can't remember when I first heard this song, but it is a great song to listen to when resting in bed trying to sleep, I have a 'Sleepytime' playlist on my iPhone with this on it, and it really ties all the songs together, I love it.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 9: Faker - Hurricane
A song that you can dance to, this is definitely it. It is such an energetic song, it is actually my cooking song, yea thats right, I listen to Faker while I cook, because its so groovy, and theres no other way to cook but groovy. I forget when I first heard it, but I know that every time it comes on I just wanna get up and dance.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 8: The Presets - If I Know You
A song that you know all the words to, hell there are thousands of songs I know all the words to, this was incredibly hard to choose just one song, I managed to narrow it down to five songs, and then I ended up choosing a totally different song. The Presets in general are amazing, and this song is a masterpiece, it is open to various interpretation and I love how relevant it is to me. So why choose this song instead of something more mainstream or 'appealing', because I don't only know the lyrics to the song, but I know the lyrics, if that makes sense, and they appeal to me more than just a song.
The film clip, directed by Eva Husson, was done so brilliant, I remember seeing the film clip for the first time after hearing it and it just made me appreciate the song even more. How they distance themselves from everyday reality and enter their own world, ignorant to the fact that they are still physically attached to the real world. I see it as an expression of freedom, and I love expression of freedom, I love being able to feel free expressing myself in the real world, and not be judged for it, well, not care that I am judged for it, I just love the feeling of not having to contain myself in order to 'keep the peace' in society, and thats what this song does for me.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 7: Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness
A song that reminds you of a certain event, Soundwave 2010! It was so freaking amazing, when I heard My Chem pulled out I was quite annoyed, but then when they filled the gap with Jimmy I was so excited! I remember the build up to Soundwave, thinking 'holy crap I'm going to see Jimmy, and I freaking hope they play Sweetness'. I was hoping for it, but then I started to doubt that they would, because they would probably play all their newer songs, and I was getting so anxious because I wanted to hear it so badly, but I wouldn't be able to stay for their full set because I needed to get to A Day To Remember. Then there I was, at the front of the barrier, a couple meters away from the stage, and they came out screaming, 'Are you listening, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh' and I just lost my shit. It was one of the best moments of my life.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 6: Josh Pyke - The Summer
A song that reminds you of somewhere, firstly I'd like to say that this song is too unappreciated, well actually no, its just not noticed as much as it deserves to be, it is actually much appreciated by the people that have noticed it. I can't remember when I first heard it, but I got the song on The Chillout Sessions XII, where I find so many amazing songs.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 5: Boys Like Girls - Hero/Heroine
A song that reminds you of someone, okay so I missed another day, only because I'd rather spend the day with my boyfriend rather than sitting on the computer, even though thats pretty much what he did =] Hero/Heroine, I was first introduced to the song a few years ago by one of my best friends Brown, it was love at first listen, it is just such an amazing song, the combination of the music and his voice is just awesome.
The song used to remind me of Brown, because he introduced it to me, but it reminds me of Dean, because as cheesy as it may sound I like to think of him as my hero, "gay much" 'shut up'. I made it his personal ringtone on my phone.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 4: Gary Jules - Madworld
A song that makes you sad, so really I should be on day 6, but I had some dramas going on the past two days so I have had to go without. Madworld is an amazing song, composed and performed perfectly, the lyrics really touch home. I first heard the song on my Ministry of Sounds: The Chillout Session - Summer Collection 2004, I was 11/12. It is a sad song, it usually comes on while I go to sleep, and I just think about what the lyrics actually talk about, and its scary.
The film clip was directed by Michel Gondry, and it is freaking amazing, I absolutely love it. The symbolism of ignorance with the kids playing below, while he is looking down upon them with knowledge that its not all fun and games for all the kids, as much as they may think it is, they're ignorant to everyones problems, they have no idea of the problems that they're fellow peers are having, they're just caught up in having fun, as kids do.
This is a version I found a few years ago, it is a rap artist interpretation of the song, I know a lot of people aren't too impressed with rap but I really found it insightful. Its quite a literal step beyond the original song, it doesn't so much focus on the original songs point of the children's problems, but more so how the song has affected him and challenged him to question his life.

Sick
I've never been good enough, no matter how much I tried, I was never good enough, which is why after time I just started to not care. Imagine having to scrape pills out of your mothers mouth because she over dosed when you were 12, and everyone said that I had to take care of mum, I had to help her in every way, and I did, I know I did because everyone said I did, they still say it 'you used to always help her,' what made me stop? Maybe it was the numerous other suicide attempts that took plays in the following years, I specifically remember when she took off in 2008, sent everyone suicide messages, I remember everyone was flipping shit, they were crying, stressing, and I was there, trying not to let it bother me and continue washing the dishes like mum would have wanted. It was all a lie, no matter what I did to help her, it wouldn't make a difference, she still went down the dark road, so how was I supposed to feel, I felt like I wasn't good enough, like I have failed her.
What made things worse for me was when I came down with depression, I had to focus on myself to make me happy, its so hard to be happy when you feel like you're failing the person you love. She is sitting down stairs now, chatting away to her friends for support and sympathy while I'm up her alone in tears, I have no one to talk to about this, I'm messaging Dean now, but how am I supposed to tell the person I love so much that at times it is hard for me to have the will to live, its not his fault, its no ones fault, its not my fault, I'm just fucked, and theres nothing anyone can do for me, I can't see my fucking psychologist because she will give me some fucking burnt red tree ash or some hippie crap. I've been dealing with it great, but she just brings me down, I can't stay mentally healthy while I'm with her, we are no good for each other, tonight I put a blade to my skin, I just burst out in tears, there is so much hope for me, others would have made the cut, I'm still sane.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 3: Cee Lo Green - Fuck You
A song that makes you happy, I remember when I first heard this song last year on Triple J and was just so amazed by it, I loved it. When ever I heard that opening tune I just smiled and knew that this was going to be fun, it is just such an energetic song. I find it saying something along the lines of 'Bitch you screwed me around and you think I'm gonna be all broken up about it, but na, fuck you, I'm gonna have a blast.' He's just got such an amazing and emotional voice, I love it.
It is such an amzing song, until like 6 months after it coming out on Triple J, commercial radio took hold of it and it was known by everyone as 'Forget You.' No! Just no, it is Fuck You, stupid corporate puppets listening to commercial radio.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 2: Rebecca Black - Friday
Least favourite song, I felt dirty for just going to the YouTube site to link it. I don't understand how this could even be classed as a song, it is just that freaking horrific, but heres the video people, (don't judge me)
I am quite happy that the general public also follow suite in disliking this song, 232,274 likes, compared to 1,811,839 dislike s. We can all thank Trizzy for releasing Rebecca Black into the world along with his legion of minion YouTube stars to be.
What I made me dislike this song, and Rebecca Black even more was this video, where she actually tried to explain to the world that behind the crappy lyrics, and monotoned voice there are some very political references layered throughout the song, which is absolutely garbage and just further demonstrates how much of a corporate puppet she is.
I really hope that she doesn't actually believe anything that she said in this video, the song should be banned from the internet realm. Oh yea, because 'gotta have my cereal' is really a metaphor for peoples mortgages, no I think it is quite the literal thing being that you have breakfast in the morning because thats what you do when you wake up, you eat, and you, you really annoy me.
And that, is day 2.

I love how the insightful and witty the film clip is, just purely amazing

Vlog?
Like my new wallpaper?
holy crap your wallpaper is awesome!! I was considering steeling it for my msn picture
I sometimes cry because my ex left me a year ago, and i was to deeply in love. It makes me so mad/upset. sometimes when driving i fell the urge to pull on one side of the seering wheel so it can stop me thinking about it. I hate it. I love her so much :'(
Okay well you have a problem and you should look into that
Does size matter? lol
Yes it does, we are told all the time that 10cm rulers are useless to us because we usually work with with A4 paper and the ruler simply Isn't long enough, but you can't go all out and get a 40cm one because then it won't fit in your pencil case. So I recommend a 30cm metal ruler, that way it fits in your pencil case and it wont snap
So if there is someone you could date.. ticks all the boxes, nothing wrong with him/her at all. but there is an age up,is there an issue? what's your opinion? Does the fact that they are older/younger change their date-ability? what age gap is then?
To me yes, I wouldn't want to be with someone too old and I most definitely wouldn't want someone too young. It's not so much their age but how I can connect with them, and I can connect a hell of a lot better with someone around my own age bracket
What's your favourite sex position?
You're a sex position
best pick-up line... ever? (used on you and by you)?????
Would you like some crack?
