feeling homesick

ok, before i start, once again, the photos are playing up, just click on the x thing and you can see the photo. not sure why it's doing this again.

oh, and does anyone know how to put video footage on the blog? we need help or advice or something. we have some cool footage to put on here. stuff like 20 million bats, and kate etc playing, and us just being silly.

anyway, once again, we've spent the last few days hanging out with friends from home. it's always so good to see everyone, but i feel homesick after everyone goes back. oh well, it's definitely better than not seeing anyone at all.

catherine, it was superb to catch up with you again, even if you did insist on dragging mel and i to a horrible meat market! i'm kidding, it was a fun night, we just all had to leave our dignity at the door. actually, i feel very out of touch with the whole meat market thing - i kept getting shocked at the stuff people were doing (although i did appreciate the cheek of the guy who thought the right way to meet me was to put his hand in the pocket of my pants. i walked away, but i did think it was impressively cheeky...)

anyway, kate etc. were also here for the weekend doing the whitlams tour, so we got free whitlams tickets, very nice. i always feel like i'm one of "the beautiful people" when i'm hanging out with them, it's very odd.

anyway, as soon as everyone left, i caught some contagious disease with nausea, aching muscles and joints, burning rash, sensitivity to light and exhaustion as the primary symptoms. i'm fine now and going back to work tomorrow, but it was a strange couple of days.

today is the first day of ange's second trimester, so i've started making a baby rug, which is at least giving me something to do while i'm sitting around.

big thanks to ange and catherine and scotty again today for all playing therapist for me - i've been trying to work through my issues with drugs and how much i hate being around them. it's all a bit screwy, and everyone has different opinions on the whole subject. actually, all three therapists had different opinions completely, so i may now be more confused than when i started, but that's ok - i'm used to being confused about drugs.

anyway, time to stop sitting on the floor before my spine crawls out in protest, and go watch anothe episode of scrubs.

love to all, and i've been harassing liz about writing stuff, and she's compiling things now apparently so look forward to an update soon!
