Everything That I'm About to Do to You Baby, I Learned at Sea World

When i awoke in my bed yesterday morning, I realized I was to die an invalid. I'd not had such a sickness since I was in primary school and, not only was I sure that I'd been prey to some conspiratorial poisoning, I was in wonder of the inevitable curiosity that would be my passing with NO ONE even resembling Jackie O by my side.
It is pure suffering. Even my skin hurts.
To cheer me up slightly Tom and Kym have been describing in detail how good big day out was. I love them.
So for the last few days I have been excreting all sorts of questionable liquids from every available orifice. It's disgusting. I barely have the strength to stomach the vegan pasta my mum made for me. I've had to miss out on a couple of parties which i was looking forward to, and normally i would have found the strength to make it there I actually was NOT up for such a social experience. I didn't want to be the guest that vomited on the carpet, strangely not alchohol-caused like would be expected by party-goers.
I've been listening to the new(ish) offerings from fun. and The Dead Weather. They're both fantastic, pick them up when you have the chance.
till we're with the mounties,

12 Steps

So I haven't written anything in a little bit.


Everyone's talking about it but I haven't seen it. Is it worth putting goggles on your face for three hours?

I've just been participating in an exhausting msn chat and also just went to Carter's house. I just kind of hung around on his mat with Cordelia and did chilled-out things.

Until the mood strikes again,

Pleased to meet me

its my birthday.
birthdays and gifts are great. Friends are better. That's who I spent most of my day with.

(ps. that wasn't my cake. But according to my sources it's vegan)

Look out Donuts, the Unicorns are Coming!

I'm waiting for my cousin to call. Something about town is going to bring him closer to me sooner than later and we must plan some sort of rendezvous. Why not write during the wait?

The other day we were at a restaurant - the usual crew and myself. This is a dining establishment. Within, food is prepared, sold and consumed. People actually eat here. I want to make this perfectly clear for, though I find it entirely inappropriate in any setting, this particular setting makes the aberration more striking. The Mother and Father were fairly nondescript however the age of the child in Dad's arm is notable. Some say six years old, some say three. We agreed on four but I tell you, the kid could speak and walk, though speaking and walking he was not. Oh, how I wish he were speaking and walking that afternoon for then, he would not have been suckling his fathers large earl lobe, going at it like it was an oxygen bit and he was at the bottom of Lake Nasty Child - a suckling the dad not only allowed, but with which he assisted and insured perpetuation of when said father stood the son on the counter so that the slobbering creature could continue trying to down his lobe while lunch was being ordered for the family by good ol lobey Dad (and currently being consumed by innocent bystanders!) Again, this was NOT a baby.

When the predator was finally taken away from the mans ear-nipple, the lobe was engorged, red and dripping with goo.

Nauseousness of a new kind was found that afternoon. Thought you'd like to hear of the unfortunate discovery.

Like a Quadruped Comin' Atcha!

I’m so tired. Either that or I haven’t had all my nutrients, but I feel kinda shit. NEEDS MOAR SOYMILK.
I have no material for blogs. I don’t think there’s really much interesting things I could say. Though, since I’ve been back, I saw Debbiiiiie at her house, I saw John Butler Trio with Kym and totally fucked it up by getting there an hour late, had another brawl night at Debbie’s with everyone else, went into town with Arnie and got my haircut, then spent all day sitting on the intarwebz. Its pretty serious.
Also, is it just me or is there no good music coming out soon? This time last year and the year before I could have listed 20 bands i was excited for new CDs to come out. I can't think of one.
Actually, yes I can:

















oye

These Tulips Taste Like Roses

4th Jan 10:58
In Deniliquin! I technically made two blog writings in a day which is probably a personal record considering I never do it more than once a month. Oh wellz.
There’s not much to say here, except that I’m listening to The White Stripes, I’ll be back in two days, Debbie is having another brawl night the night after I come back, and I need to get some new clothes plus a haircut before it happens. I’m pretty excited because it means I get to see my friends again, which will probably put an end to the strange dreams I’ve been having involving a lot of them..I assure you, they are not sexual and or violent in nature but they still cause me some disquiet as why they are occurring.
My wallet is feeling surprisingly light. I’m not quite sure as to why that is but I think I haven’t been keeping track of what I spent in Sydney. Hmm. I think I might listen to some pet shop boys now cause I'm in the mood.
All day, all day, domino dancing,

I’m 17 years old and already feel it’s too late to live.

Don’t you…?
Its 1 AM in the morning. This morning we’re leaving Sydney, and I’ll finally be back in my hometown again. It’s strange how much I miss it- its familiarity, my friends, and how you can find your way around easily, and walk from one side of the city to the other. Sydney is not quite like that. I also never really got to visit any vegan places while I was here…But I did manage to go to red eye records, on a suggestion by Kymsauce, and get a smiths shirt (meat is murder album cover), a nightmare before Christmas poster and an Elliot Smith CD. How wonderful. How quaint. I think I’ll play it now after I finish my Saturdays = youth listening.
About an hour ago there were some strange women (and I think a few men, I’m pretty sure I heard their dulcet tones in the hallway but the girls’ were more distinctive) and they were making some and rather disturbing noises. Thankfully it’s over now. I think I’m writing this just to pass the time in between when I’ll actually have to say something meaningful, and live up to the quality of some other blogs I’ve read. Alas, right now I seem at a loss to do so. Nonetheless!
Today, most of the day was spent wandering around the harbor, riding ferries and walking god-awful distances just to see the sights. But it wasn’t all bad, aside from some eager young Asian children attempting to clamber over me as if I was some exciting new part of a play set. We went into this hotel where my parents stayed in September (that was when they left the house to me, around the time when I had my house party and when the downward spiral in some of my most important friendships to take place) and it was kind of amazing. One of the doormen suggested I return in order to use the spa and gym. I gracefully declined though he insisted so I really had no choice but to act enthusiastic. It’s not on my best traits I’m afraid.
For dinner, I made awesome, amazing, and calorie filled vegan nachos, complete with vegan mozzarella and homemade guacamole. It was so delicious, though I only finished half it already gave me the idea for a ‘make your own nachos’ night. It’ll be good. Who’s in? Chances are, if your reading this your one of the people I’d like to invite. Splendid. Let’s have a high tea while we’re at it!
Yours (un)truly,
JXR

Loco Commotion

I must’ve seen it, it’s so familiar.
I must’ve seen your face before; I fell in love when I was born. Now they hide her with a whisper. It’s over…
Obligatory friends blog. While away in Sydney I’ve essentially been pondering over how my friends are, what my friends are doing, and basically been thinking about the ever non-present people (☹) who I prefer over my family. It may have been slightly unhealthy but I think after leaving Adelaide and started missing my friends I’ve come to appreciate what they are to me.
At the beginning of this year, I could have said that I was good friends with Debbie and Riz, and maybe a few other people, like Gabi that I was pretty close to. But I don’t think I could have said anyone else. Year 11 was mostly lonely for me in terms of friends until, halfway through the year, when I did the musical and made so many amazing friends. Though once again, after the year ended I found myself in mostly the same position, after the year 12s left school and I realized I had probably neglected a lot of my other friends who had been so dear to me before. I resented that, so I made sure that I would spend the year getting closer to a lot of people.
…and somehow, throughout the year I found friends in the form of Jordan, Carter, Cordelia, Bonnie, Kirrah, Danynn, Ryan and a few others.
I wrote this whole thing about all of the people i've met this year, but in fear of alienating those dear to me, i don't think i'll post it...though they should know who they are.
Don’t leave, don’t leave me here. I can’t breathe without you now, I don’t wanna be without you, I don’t wanna live without you, I don’t wanna breathe without you- you’re my oxygen.
Liquid love, pouring down like rain,

hey ho lets

go

Wilkommen.
I’m Jono. I blog and usually insert subtle references to music artists or films you most likely haven’t seen unless you have exquisite taste in both mediums.
I do this mainly so I can come back and laugh at my overly sentimental and cringe worthy self. And also so I can do the same thing as my friends.
