12:01 am	Happy Birthday Natalie... I predict chocolate. Time to write again, but about what? Will this be another apparent post about writer’s block that I spit out to make some personal quota? No but seeing as I don’t have anything deep and meaningful to say I will go for whatever impulses shoot from brain and manage to get to my fingers and see if anything good comes out of it. I’ll also try to avoid talking about what I am doing, like describing how I have to hit my keyboard extra hard to stop it from becoming British as it drops the letter H and I say things like “Ow are you?” and “Ello” for some reason it decided it wanted an accent and I’ll be damned if I am going to let that happen. So let’s see what has been happening? I am trying to be more social nowadays, and this has meant getting home about 4 and then getting up hours later for work, strangely I was more awake than usual, might have to investigate this phenomenon. It also means I will start catching up with people, heaven forbid texting and talking to them… You have been warned. I have also just fought off the flu , this was annoying as I went to the doctor for a check up and got told I was perfectly fine, just to catch it soon after (possibly in the waiting room). The final death throws of this flu seemed to last as long as the sickness and during that time I have decided that I am really going to put effort into this whole getting in shape thing. There does seem to be a lot of that going, both the sickness and the wanting to get in shape or working out and I have to say, good for them. Whatever reason I support the whole being healthier thing. Keep it up, I felt better for it and don’t want to go back so keep going, it just gets easier, trust me. This leads me to an interesting observation of my surroundings. Not that I need the segue (yes, pronounced like those insane devices the Campus Security use to get around) for the thing I see everyday as I leave the front door of the house, but I have noticed in detail as I bike past in the morning in my mad effort to get fit. The thing I have seen happening is my past disappearing. I have tried not to think about it as it might get to depressing but the house that I spent 24 years of my life in as been picked clean in the span of a week. It’s down to a skeleton now after the vultures have picked clean the scraps of the family home, just the aged wood, the frame work the only thing left standing, a shadow of it’s former self, a shell and all the other melodramatic clichés. I now understand so of those phrases more but wished I didn’t. It almost seems that these paragraphs are getting longer; I appear to be picking up steam. Clear the tracks I may never slow down at this rate. I feel I should slow down before I crash or I see the girl tied to the track by the evil man with the hand-bar moustache too late. Is anyone still reading this or have you gotten bored and checking forums and online quizzes? I feel it’s the latter because there was nothing of real substance just now and that’s to be expected when I shoot from the hip like this. So I shall stop and watch tv, maybe exercise and stay away from the cookies in the kitchen. Maybe next time I will have a plan but we know how likely that is. Brilliant. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:14 am	This could spell the end of the horse-drawn zepplin. In this post dear viewers I will try to avoid the last post where I said I will update with more details etc. So I just walked back from the Westpac arena/centre/stadium/whathaveyou. Went to see a little band called Muse, they were rather good. Hung out there with Brad and his younger sibling. We had fun running through the crowd, pointing out odd stuff and marveling and the ginger beard. They played songs old and new, meaning there were plenty of times for people to sing along but luckily not too many decided to. It was impressive to see people moshing to a piano, which like everything else had lights in it to go off in time with the music, they played for about an hour and half plus an encore. Favourites were played and some that you might not have expected. I am glad I am fitter than I used to be because I am not sure I would have been able to walk home after all that jumping. They released eight giant confetti balloons near the end which almost stole the show but that wouldn't have been the first time that a balloon stole they show. What looked like a blown up condom slowly floated higher and higher into the rafters to a lot of cheers and then it rhythmically and obscenely moved up and down against a beam, after a while it worked its way through and once it came out the other side, the crowd went nuts, and we thought we were the only ones watching. Oh and the drummer is Spiderman. Brilliant (Comment on this)

12:03 am	I’m going to be haunted by the ghost of Haley Joel Osment. So I will do the Pay It Forward. I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment here on my lj. I don't know what that gift will be but you will receive it within a year. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement in your lj. I will organize the whole delivery thing later on. I think I might get out of this with doing little to no work. So it has been about nine weeks since my last update and this one should have been a couple of weeks ago. I have been to America and have returned again. I saw many things, strange and different. The Yakuza owned Sushi place, the Greyhound bus service and just the cities in general. I am sure I could write a much larger post and being that I have decided that it would be a good idea to wait until midnight to write this, I might make this a two parter. This should be the set up. Though I am sure a few would have already heard all about it and be incredibly bored but we will see. I will also finally load up some pictures (meaning I either workout what my photo bucket account was or make another one) and get harassed by someone about more details about comic-con and it many panels; including Too Much Coffee Man the Opera and just how English Neil Gaiman sounds. I have been meaning to get back into posting on this thing and we will see how long that lasts. I need sleep so I can get up extra early for my eighth day of work in a row, and it’s sale time. Brilliant. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:20 pm	It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times. Dear Livejournal, My flatmates were having the weirdest conversation, it was all about… Are you mad, I have to live with these people, like I would give it away. But if you know them, then ask them. Me? I rather like the whole living thing. I thought I should update my live journal as it hasn’t been done in a while. Where to start. Always a good idea to begin somewhere like that. Hmm… Still nothing. *Door slams* time moves on in its unstoppable way that it does *door slams again* Ok, where was I? Ah yes, updating and me: the endless struggle. Ok, I am now writing this looking through rain blurred glasses as the weather outside has gone back to wet and dreary again. On the upside I am now happily munching on a slice of Banana cake that I have heated up in the microwave (hmm, if I just had some jam) and having a glass of milk because when it comes to food I am five years old. But the thought crosses my mind that I didn’t really need the snack. At which point another thought says “It’s banana and milk, it can’t be that bad.” I am quite happily sitting here because I really couldn’t be bothered doing much else and I have a knot in my back, something wicked. It comes from the continued and much enjoyed swimming that I have been doing and because I am truly mad, will do again tomorrow when I should be at the flat watching tv like everyone else. Wow, I can’t believe I got through yet another paragraph and went off on a tangent when I was going to mention that on the way back from pak’n’save (I could steal someone’s joke but I won’t) that a car spun out right in front of me. Like I was on the corner, about to cross and I see it race around, so I slow down thinking I don’t want to cross with this idiot around. Sure enough he was going to fast and spun 270 degrees onto the other side of the road. He proceeded to back up and then continue up to park in front of one the houses on my street. They were ok, by the way. Well she was a little angry and he was being yelled at but other than that, hunkey doorey. This is more of an exercise in writing than making a coherent comment on my life in the past few weeks. If I was going to do that I would mention my trip to Omaru, I would also looking up the spelling of said destination and tell you all about getting there and back in one night, seeing the Eastern play there and having biscuits in the car which was on empty for most of the trip back. I would talk about work and how I am opening and closing for a few weekends meaning I have more responsibility. The fact that my brother has left and gone to Australia (Ok, if he reads this, now one swear. Either that or bro shouldn’t go to the replies because everyone will be swearing.) Or trying to make today a changing day in my life. I think I got this from Dr Phil. Not a big watcher of the show but a great follower of television advertisements. What do we learn from that spectacular bit of rambling? Not much I would guess, oh well. I have some books to read. Also might try to get some sleep (though I know I will probably try to exercise this banana cake away first.) Hope everyone is well. Brilliant. Current Mood: mellow (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:11 am	Why did I decide posting at 3am was a good idea. I was going to post as soon as I moved and got back online. Well I moved and everything last week but I just got back online tonight. I'm not sure how many know or even care that I have moved to a street in Christchurch that is apparently reminiscent of Hastings but hey I thought I better tell you all anyway. Yes, I have moved out and everything is going well. Good flatmates and not a bad location, by the mall and walking distance to work. It seemed to be pretty cold but I have quickly learned how to deal with that without resorting to getting a heater. My only compliant is a shower that varies in temperature between bitterly cold and freaking freezing, I have yet to find the boiling hot option or the secret combination that might require dark arcane majiks to get it to be warm. Check back on whether we contacted the landlord or robbed a butcher in future episodes of "That Crazy B-Rob" or "The wrap sheet of someone who watched to much Buffy and has an over active imagination." I could have made this epic but instead I think I'll just keep writing until the credits to Pulp Fiction finish and then I will go to bed. I hope I don't to something crazy and start watching another DVD over actually getting sleep... Damn it! Current Mood: Zombie Current Music: Theme song of the next DVD in the player.

11:23 pm	The drummer is a cat. Time for some venting as I rehash what I have said before and go over the same things. Just a warning if you wanted to avoid it. Let's see. Been getting more social but I need to get out of the house much more, see friends, hang out. This works well as long as two factors are present. They aren't busy and they actually want to hang out. These are very important. But I forgot another one, actually organizing something. The fact I procrastinate works against me here. The Shining is on. Lots of little things in this movie which work for it. Ah Room 237. What is this, Jack Nicholson horror movie weekend? I haven't exercised as much as I should but I'm down to my goal weight. Just have to make some of the fat into muscle and I'll be set. Ok, I have no idea what I'll be set for but whatever it is I'll be set for it. The musical instrument I picked to learn is the piano. It's coming along slowly. I need to practice more but managing to play with my left and right hand together is the challenge. Separately, no problem but hey I'm learning still. Still reading more than one book at once, the newest one is The Science of Discworld III. I'm getting ideas for drawing but need to do more work on them, guess that falls under practice as well. New ideas for writing, will see where that goes. Hope this doesn't come off as mopey or anything. Feeling positive but a little bored. Also I see somethings that I need to do and want to work on them Oh and some people's birthdays coming up and one person in particular I have talked to about going to the casino on there birthday. An excuse to dress up fancy and act like we know what we are doing. Even if there isn't really a dress code and we might have no idea what we are doing. But more talk of that later. Brilliant.

12:38 am	I didn't update? Damn, that means I didn't do anything. Sleepy again. Might have something to do with working today and staying out late (ok, not too late) the night before. But hey, it was worth it to see some friends I haven't seen in a while and others that I just don't see often enough. Philly with his crazy leaning room. Or was that the entire house? Mini vs Kitt Demolition Derby. Talking with friends. And learning something that might be used as blackmail later on. Wasn't too bad. I haven't been out as much as I should but that would be better if I had a day on the weekend off. Anyway, cheerio and pip-pip. Hoo-rah! (When I get sleepy, I get British.) Brilliant.

9:25 pm	Tonight Matthew I’m going to be… But more about that later. Natalie, sorry I didn’t stick around but I had to get home before it got dark, which I just managed to do, because my bike doesn’t have lights on it. As much as I like talking to you, I hate forced small talk and I know how it would go. “Hi.” “Hi and stuff.” “Yes, stuff.” “I like stuff.” “As do I.” “In-joke.” “Chuckles.” “Anyway…” “Yeah…” Both say “Bye.” And the scene ends. Thanks to Susan for letting me borrow her DVD and I hope I didn’t seem like too much of an ass with the quick leaving. In less than a day you have seen my legs and chest, It’s scandalous I tell you. Or you know, not. So for those of you that don’t know and actually care, last night for an 80’s theme night I dressed as David Bowie. Yep, just like in Labyrinth. I’ll let the horror of that seep in. Do I need to describe it? And yes, I did have balls but I can’t contact juggle but neither can David Bowie. Well I’ll go into more detail if you want me to but for now I’ll just stop writing here. Brilliant. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:49 pm	Formal attire required. I'm going to a costume party and just in case the one throwing is reading this, I won't post what I am going as until sunday. 80's theme, so guesses are welcome. I made someone cry on Valentine's Day. Apparently because I was so sweet for giving her a rose but I was just being nice, that's all. Still I felt kinda bad about it, y'know? I hope to have more stuff to update with soon but this will have to do for now. Brilliant. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:02 am	The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo. There’s no real reason for the quote up there. I’m just wondering how many people can tell where it’s from. (I think a few can guess though.) So I have been busy lately. With the final clean out of the old house, reading a few books, work and exercising (shocking but true) and do you know what? I’m bored. The house cleaning is fairly boring and will take the rest of the week but has to be done but I have found myself being bored lately. I’ve been trying to get into drawing again and writing as well. I’ve come up with a few good ideas and some really bad ones too. And hope to get more into both of those next week but I have also thought of taking up a musical instrument, I’ll keep you up to date on how that works out. I have gotten into swimming lately (at a pool that occasionally plays U2 cd’s for some reason). It’s not a pretty sight but I think I am getting better. Soon I’ll be ready for the beach where I’ll get badly sunburnt, come on, you know it will happen. Anyone else got any ideas, to stave off my boredom? Open to ideas. Hell, I might make a thing of trying those things and then writing about the hilarious results in live journal. Or I might never speak of it again. Who knows? Brilliant.

11:55 pm	Ten foot clown pole? So I helped Natalie move the other day. Seemed to go well and only took a few trips in the truck. We arrived at the new flat on the first trip with the mattress’s and realised that we didn’t have the keys to get in. We decided to hide the mattress’s around the back of the flat, in the stinging nettle filled garden. Murphy’s Law would say that would be the point that one of the flatmates would show up, right? Well wouldn’t you know our luck, they did exactly as we walked around from the back of the flat. It was good. We got that all moved in and we were off again. We only had to stop once on the second trip to pick up a sofa cushion that tried to get away. Once we got the sofa in there was a bit of a sort around with the seats that make it up. After a few different and quite interesting combinations (imagine the Tetris music) we were pretty sure we had it. Now on the third trip we had all the large stuff that was left loaded up and tied down. All was going we until we got to Riccarton Road, as we pulled into the turning lane to turn off the truck broke. So there we were, on Riccarton Road, unable to move and not really able to see traffic behind us. Now because of Natalie great idea to turn off Riccarton Road early, this meant we weren’t stuck at a busy intersection and had no one waiting behind us. So I turned the truck off and with the clutch not responding, managed to get the truck into first while the gear stick shook around wildly. Once we were on a quieter street I stopped the truck, which had two options now; first and stalled. I got out and pushed it out of the way of a drive way and got back in and tried to get it to work. Turned the key, engine roars into life and the gear stick… does nothing. I resorted to doing three things at this point; pleading with the truck, swearing at the truck and finally a combination of the two. We did manage to get it to go by having Natalie pushing the gear stick into first the entire trip while I dove. So there we were, trying to act casual, as we drove along the side streets at a top speed of 18kph. Leaning on the door with one arm, driving with the other, with Natalie doing a good job of acting like nothing was wrong as she held us in first. Now a couple of good thing about going down these streets meant we didn’t have any traffic and we only had to stop once on the way to the other flat. We came to a stop and promptly stalled. So there we were, waiting for a gap in the traffic. Waiting, then there it was, a gap. I turned the truck back on and with the truck being held in first we managed to get across without crashing. I think it was on this trip that Natalie was remind of home as some punk kids (not actual punks but more like wannabe gangsta/boy racers with the one white guy that blends in perfectly) yelling at us. Now we have no idea what that was but we are sure it was all very clever and witty, though I’m sure one yelled something like “Poko poko” which just seems weird. We got everything else moved in and after rearranging the sofa again. I’m pretty sure it was sorted. Apart from the wardrobe but the less said about that, the better. Moving the truck off the drive way was reasonably easy apart from the dip were it meets the dip in the road. But with a little help from Natalie’s kind flatmates and with her behind the wheel we managed to get the truck parked on the side of the road. Then I just had to wait for the tow truck so they could get rid of me. So I talked to her charming flatmates about nothing in particular but I’m sure university and Mac and Chesse were mentioned at some point. About 30-45 minutes later the truck turned up and I was on my way. Yes, I know that was boring and you would rather have heard about something like Tim Burton’s ‘Ferris Beuller’s Day Off’ but oh well, it’s over now. I had another post which was long but the computer ate it. Isn’t that just… Brilliant. (Comment on this)

12:35 am	Totally stealing another person's idea! You can wrap anybody you want around your finger through sheer personal charisma. If you've had your eye on someone special, now is the time to ask them out. Better yet, work your magic so they'll make the first move on you! If you're already in a relationship, embark on a dream project with your beloved. Riiiiiight. Tune in next time when you'll hear Doctor Bob say... Brilliant. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:14 am	Caution: High levels of emo. Long empty corridors with limited colour scale, light brown, grey and white. The smell of disinfectant and people. A linoleum labyrinth of medicine, especially if you have to use the elevators. Never need to go to a hospital as a patient but I still don't like going there. It's depressing and holds some memories that I would rather not go through again. But I had to go there last week after Dad got admitted there. He was there a few days and it turns out it was nothing major. Nothing that needed to be operated on, so all is well. But he was happy to get out of there as it was really boring when no one was visiting. Of course we made sure to visit every day. But that first day when they were still running tests, I hate that kind of feeling. For the most part with that kind of thing I tend to go with the idea of not worrying until there is something to worry about, but still. As I left that first day, I looked down at the water as I crossed the bridge to my car and saw some ducklings swim by, that was very calming, I can see why they have the large open area next to the river there. Wow, way to bring everyone down. So all is right now. Think of ducklings. Or that Happy Feet movie. Feel better? Good. Brilliant. (Comment on this)

11:55 pm	It’s a long way to the shops, if you want a sausage roll. Thank you, Spinal Tap van. (Now available for rent.) Time for the a review of the month, or: I forgot to post anything and now I’m going just cover a few things that I can actually remember and pass it of as an update. I like the rain, inside a nice warm building wether it be at work or the house, just looking out at the rain going by. Sheets of rain, hail or just it collecting on the window pane and running down. That’s kinda peaceful, explains those gimmicky things that imitate rain on a window but fits on a coffee table. I don’t mind walking around in it either. If you add rain to Christmas traffic… well it loses some of the charm. I still didn’t mind, I was quite happen to still in the car as nothing seemed to move for a few minutes (though I’m sure anyone in Auckland will think “So what?”) I did kinda wish I had a book though. Went for a bike the other day, went around the more rural areas and as I did I headed towards a tree which blossom fell off in the window. Kinda like slow falling snow falling all around but the sun was still shining through the trees. I looked down at the road and saw what looked like a bird, the fact it decided to look up at me did a lot to confirm that. So I did a quick U-turn and went back and there it was; tiny, shivering and not flying away. Its wings seemed quite big compared to the body and awkwardly tucked behind it. Probably the first flight out of nest and it decide to rest on the road. So I picked the little one up and put it in the grass on the side it most likely flew from and as I took off again, it flew a little way and then decide to rest again. Summer must do weird things to people, had some girls in two smiling at me. I’m paranoid, because I know I’m not that attractive so even though it’s nice I don’t believe it. Hopefully there was enough writing that most people just skipped that when they skimmed the post. I need some new glasses, the ones I have are on there last legs. They have been bent and re-bent, I might need a new prescription for the lenses and some UV lenses too would be cool but I will get that after Christmas when it is cheaper. So it’s Christmas time and I thought I would just raid work and give everyone something cheap. So everyone is getting polo shirts for Christmas. EVERYBODY. Ok, maybe not. But some might, so just beware. And I said I would post images of the amazing cake that Natalie made and without further ado, because it has been a long time coming, The Cake of Little Prince, The Prince of the Cosmos… And stuff. ( The images are kinda big. ) It really was brilliant. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

12:52 am	Pop culture reference. Been thinking about work lately. It’s not a bad job, good money and the work is reasonably easy to do. All in all, I could keep doing the job but is it what I want to do? Nah… But what are the options and it allows me to have the money to do what I want. And really I don’t care about the money. If I’ve spent it on something and I’m happy even if it seems to be a waste to others, who cares. Also it allows me to do other things, like travel. Which I like to do but never have the time or any reason to usually. I thought about what I would do if I had a million dollars, travel, buy completely useless but never-the-less entertaining things, buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress, that’s cruel) or maybe build a house on a mountain, like Hunter S. I could imagine the view from up there, never minded living in the country. Of course I’ve never really cared too much about income, it isn’t everything but merely a form of security. So really if I spend it I’m not too worried, as long as I have a bit of a net then everything is fine. But that does leave me with the original thought. Do I stay with the ok job that doesn’t have anything to do with what I want to do but affords me comfort and funds to do things I want to? Or, do I try to find something more along the lines of what I want to do even if it might not be as good a job. At the moment I would have to go with staying with the job that allows me this comfort and funds to do what I want and maybe see how it all goes from there. Though I might need the kick in the rear to actually do anything. This is what you get when you go with stream of consciousness. Just writing straight from the hip. It might seem to repeat itself and seem to have worry in it but really just working things out. Been doing that a bit lately. It has all been in stages, working through bits of my life and seeing if I can organise them a bit better. See what happens when I don’t post for a while, you get stuff like this. Long, thought filled post instead of nice short pointless ones. I’ll try to make the next one a one liner that has nothing to do with anything, I swear, just give me another chance. By the way, I'm sure that was full of spelling errors and the like but it's late and I'm tired. Oh well, brilliant. (9 Comments |Comment on this)

1:47 am	Today is going to be one of those days… you know, full of zombies. Ah finally the start of my weekend and hopefully it will be another sunny week. Ok having said that it is now all jinxed and the weather will turn to thunderstorms, rain and high wind but maybe it will be sunny because now I expect lousy weather. Using reverse psychology on mother nature just doesn't work, it's all Murphy's law anyway so I guess I shouldn't worry and just let the next couple of days just come as the do. I felt like to the beach last week but I couldn't because I'm too damn white. And by that I don't meant I'm uncool and have no rhythm…ok, that's true but it's more the fact that I'm so incredibly pale. This is a problem for two reasons. One, no one wants to see my creamy white skin and two, I'll burn quicker than dry twig in a forest fire and seeing that I work in retail I couldn't hide the fact that I would be horribly sunburnt. And now for something completely different. My home phone made a noise like it was straight out of silent hill. Scream of static which is weird because the home phone has nothing to do with the fax or modem or anything like that, then half a minute later it was fine. Can’t figure it out. Oh well, not going to worry about it, it's all ok now. Probably time to get some sleep if I want to get up before, you know, lunch time.
