Intensely Frustrating... →
One of the most ridiculous articles I have read in a long time.
“Actually I have never thought of myself as bisexual. And I certainly don’t now that I am married. That would be tantamount to admitting that I am thinking of being unfaithful with a woman, which has never been the case.”
Ah, yes, of course. That’s what you’d be doing… *sigh*
Dear Melbourne,
The time has come to leave you. I am deeply sorry for this, because you are a cool guy. And filled with matching cool guys.
BUT the time has most certainly come.
I am absolutely eternally gratefully for the fantastic, wonderful, awesome and completely fucked up individuals I’ve met here, and for the corresponding times I’ve had with them.This place, and these (fucking awesome) guys...
Comatosed
Complete coma. I’m no faker. All of my organs are swelled with lack of movement and anti freeze.
Evoking evokations of past moments of stillness. Of sitting with my cheek against a frozen window, tiny flakes brushing the lights, hiding everything in red fleece. Of tears that had no real reasoning but threatened to isolate what was left, the hypocrite in me already bursting forth....

Oooh pre-emptiveness.

Moving On...
The bittersweet joy of social networking sites is that they allow you to reflect and contemplate the different paths that old friends’ lives have branched off into. It’s bittersweet because it makes you question both your past, your future and yourself.
Have the social groups that I used to turn in changed and evolved, or have I? Or have we both? Was I ever that brash? That naive? Or...

Life Is Sweet.
I feel slightly decadent right now. Lying, very warm in my bed, eating some scrumptious noodles. Some very cool kids are beginning the epic cleaning mission. I will join then soon. Honest.
Wow. Sick birthday-day of sleep and eating and sleep and eating and otherworldly phone calls. It’s so hard to visualise a church on the side of the world, without it being graced by my presence. Egotist?...
Listened to this way too many times already today....
Sssshhh.
My stomach is talking. Usually, he talks a little, but just at a whisper so only I can hear his sweet nothings. But at the moment, he’s shouting. I don’t think he’s happy. Maybe I should lavish him with more care and attention. A stomach spa perhaps? Where dozens of stomachs can be free from their owners for a few days, enjoy a relaxing enzyme cleanse or perhaps meet a lovely...

feeling a whole kaleidoscope of feelings/moods recently; however creativity is not one of them. Hence the silence. Lack of thoughts. Etc. I’m basically not at my most articulate at the moment, probably because those little Ping Ping POWs in my brain are pretty conflicted/confused/clumsy right now, and keep bumping into each other (often causing serious injury) thus making coherent...

Sober.
Too long for an update maybe? Maybe it’s a ploy to make myself seem aloof and unavailable. Maybe it’s lack of motivation. Anyhow, my name is Hannah and I am no longer alcohol dependent. At least not for the past 11 (yes, I know, I’m pretty impressed myself) days. I haven’t enjoyed being alcohol free this much in an incalculable amount of time. I feel like I’ve...
Roll on June 13th! “Alcopops and ketamine, ...
I lay in bed last night, sleep seemingly impossible, and these were the only things I could think of; I long for a day when the cold outside is blasted from my bones by the warmth inside. I long for an languid arm drapped over my stomach. I long for Sundays the way I used to know them. Hours of nothingness spread out on a carpet, covered in print, and slow, lazy, drunkeness gradually filling my...

Beware the Mouth Octopus
The mouth octopus struck me earlier. I went to take a gentle sip from my water glass. Little did I realise, that in my vulnerable, hungover state I had been violated in the most hideous and odious manner. The Mouth Octopus had descended. As I lifted the glass to my lips, he struck. Suddenly my mouth was no longer it’s normal self, my lips not the cautious beings they once were. Thirsty...

Fragments Of A Day
He’s my customer. Don’t think I can’t see you trying to steal him. No deviating from the script please waiting staff. Say the line, fake the laugh, get off stage. My second impressions always seem more important. Is this a reversible impression jacket I’m wearing? I hope so. Can my loyalty really be bought for the measly sum of $12 an hour? If Little Red Riding Hood...

Setting Myself Up For A Fall...
Up there is what’s going on down here. The first step is merely the first step towards failure. Hannah the optimist, speaks. I have no idea why I am attempting this. As sure as ripened limes are green and glass blowing is a skill best left to Venetian lips, this will rapidly and surely be left by the wayside, along with every other vaguely creative outlet I have ever started, all of which...
