Just thought i'd repost as a couple of people have mentioned that they'd missed this.
I now have a new journal that will be mostly friends only. Please comment here if you would like to be added. |

| A new journal? |
[Jun. 13th, 2006|01:25 pm] |
I haven't really been keeping up with everyones live journals and for this, i'm sorry. I need a new, fresh place to write and share. I feel that this journal is becoming a little old and worn and although I have so much to share with you all, I would rather speak of it in a less public forum.
And so, i'm creating a new journal that will be friends only.
If you would like to be added, please comment here. If not, please don't feel obliged to do so... I understand that sometimes, peoples interests change and my current and future posts may not be what some of you are looking for.
With love...

Our fishtank at work smells funny. Unfortunately, neither Megan or myself know enough about fish to say why that is.
The fish seem happy, although the water is perpetually gross looking... even only a day after we've changed most of it.
I'm sitting here, smelling it. And it's gross. Am feeling sorry for the fish that have to breathe it.
Good thing i'm so pleased with myself. |

I understand the history behind St Patricks day but I doubt that any of the pub goers tomorrow night will. In any case, i'll not spurn a party vibe when i've missed socialising so much.
My desire is to go out and absorb the laughter and light hearted celebration of culture, not to sit and be angry about something that I cannot change.
Please don't get me wrong... I am deeply distressed by the wrong doings of the Christian movement at that time, but my not having a cold beverage with my old colleagues isn't going to change things one iota.
With love and respect,
El |

It's St Patrick's day tomorrow and i've been itching for festivities!
I miss my Sensis guys and have promised to catch up for drinks with them after work tomorrow.
I love movement and change. |

Was soooooo sick yesterday. I drank too much preservative laden champagne on Saturday night, then ate really poisonous foods on Sunday morning including some really nasy, unrefridgerated bits and pieces on an already raw stomach. I threw up for two hours straight, although it felt like much longer :( When I began to throw up blood and brown bile, a friend of mine who is a paramedic made me go to an emergency clinic and get an injection to stop the vomiting. The doctor said that it was most likely a gastro bug... I think it was probably just the bad food on an already distressed stomach. I'm really hungry and thirsty, but i'm kind of scared of eating or drinking at the moment.
I really hate my stomach :(
Otherwise, i'm quite happy. As most of you know, Shannon and I are no longer in a relationship and i'll be moving out shortly. It's been hard on both of us, although we seem to be getting along better now that there is no pressure on either of us to be something that we are not. We've been having a fantastic time though... going out to dinner and movies, going shopping, having friends around for little parties... It's been beautiful actually.
I need to go and have a rest... :( |

Even with all the psycho weirdness that our little community seems to be dwelling in, i'm off to Pagans in the Pub. I've not attended for a few months now and would very much like to see everyone. Shouldn't be too bad with a glass of red or two... and maybe one of the pubs mushroom risottos... Hrm....
In other news...
Got some killer rust stains off the fiberglass shower with bicarb and vinegar earlier this morning.
Damn, it's getting late.
I'll post later. |

Incantation will reconvene this coming Monday 13th of February at 7pm for a full moon gathering at 50 Westgarth st, Northcote.
All past members welcome.
Please bring a plate to share and your brightest singing voices ;)
I will be handing out schedules, lyrics sheets and CDs of the new songs that we will be working on this year.
If at all possible, please also bring with you a blank CD. If you are unable, we can supply one for you.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
With love,
Elvanna |

Last night I dreamed of unending forest and a circle of mismatched men from all different religions and cultures. We smiled at first, knowing that this was a place of healing and reconcilliation until we realised that their chant was not of peace and that their staves were not the sacred tools that we had thought. They held guns and other weapons of war... men with rifles longer than their arms and dark secrets. Some wore the traditional dress of their people, some in the guise of peaceful pagans, others were naked. They were joined only by fear and hatred.
The forest opened its arms to us and we crawled inside an old, dead tree... knowing we were safe from their unbridled anger. We watched through cracks as they walked by in small groups, silent and restless. The old tree moved about us as though it lived still, then crumbled to wet bark, leaving us exposed.
We went our seperate ways.
Cloaked in shimmering white, she melded with a small grove of birch, seemingly disolving into sivery greens. She watched with peace in her eyes. I stopped still, searching for my own cover and finding none. I stepped into the light and faded too, the brightness fading to the burgundy black of my waking mind.
An oddly comforting dream, despite its disturbing nature. |

I write this entry at Daniel's request because he seems to think that I need to update more often.
In case any of you were wondering, Daniel is a colleague of mine. He rustles wine in bottles. Wrapped in golden plasticky goodness. Unfortunately, the rustle signifies a terrible event of monumental badness. Yes, sadly, this is Daniel's last day. :`( Fortunately, I am getting his job. Go me!
We have fish.
A fishtank on my desk!
And five beautiful fish.

Moses (RIP)
Ted and Marilyn. (Or Marilyn/Ted the Transvestite fish and Vader, otherwise known as The Other Ted) Don't worry, I get confused too.
I have a view over St Kilda from my window :)
Am planning a bit of a bake off this Sunday if anyone would like to pop around for some tea and baked goodies. (Ben? Perhaps a home made chai at my place instead?)
Lewi, Lara? Pumpkins! I miss you guys! Come and visit us? I will bake tasties for you. *lovelovelove*
All are welcome, just give me a call. I'm sending oceans of affection across wires. I miss you all. xxx |

I know that I don't update here much these days but I do read everyones journals every morning.
I got the job! I've been there for near two weeks now. The work is okay... the people are fantastic! I'm working in a Service Centre for VOIP for a company called Sirius.
Things in my personal life have been a bit topsy turvy, but i'm happy, albeit confused.
My love to all of you. |

I'm very glad to be back in Melbourne after the last month of frantic movement and change.
Visiting with my mother for 10 days was interesting. Queensland is bloody hot and very humid. It was good to see her and her new family. Odd that it still seems new after 8 years. Perhaps because I haven't been around much. I still haven't had the desire to visit my fathers ashes. He's definitely not there. *grins* Went snorkeling at Flinders Reef, Caloundra and out to Tangalooma. It's absolutely incredible. There is just so much life! Burned myself to a cinder on mums boat though. Spent about a week rolling in pools of anesthetic sprays and aloe.
Christmas back in Melbourne was good. Shannons sister, Raelene, came up for Christmas and his parents drove down from Sydney. Aelindel came around to spend the holidays with us. I cooked and ate far too much but had a fulfilling time. Rae went back to Hobart to spend new years with her partner and his family. We had a quiet one at home with Aelin and Shannons parents.
Flew down to Tasmania on the second and spent the last ten days there. Bicheno was beautiful and only a half hour from Coles Bay which boasts some of the cleanest air in the world. Freycinet was lovely. The Eastern forests were so dry though. I went on a short hike there and did not feel welcome. I was however, blessed with a little time in My Forest. Incredible as always, yet the day trip was far too short as we were staying nearly a 5 hour drive away. I'm missing it already. It seemed to have become more lovely in the year or two that i've not been able to visit it. Perhaps it was merely that my own ability to know beauty has grown. I hope so. I'd like to be warmer.
Home now though, and on the job hunting trail. I plan to visit France later this year and can't quite manage that if i'm on the dole. ;)
I hope to catch up with many of you soon.
Love! |

Aelindel and Rae fly into Melbourne today! And we've got tickets for Harry Potter tonight!
I spent the day with Craig yesterday. He's an absolute darling and I love him!
My vocal group, Incantation is performing at the Pagan dinner event this Saturday night.
It's all very exciting.
I wish I felt as thrilled as I should. |
