Just seeing those words makes me want to hug something…

I got an email. I sent one off, not knowing what to expect in return. I’m pretty sure I didn’t expect what I got. An apology. A “we need to catch up.” After nearly a year of not speaking.

He used to be my best friend (I figure that if you can spend an hour talking to someone on the phone and not run out of things to say, then you’ve got a winner). But I started burdening him with waaaay too much crap, and before I knew what was happening, he never wanted to speak to me again and I felt like I couldn’t care less. Yes, it got quite nasty.

But you can’t just forget someone who was your best friend, can you? Nope. I tried, believe me I tried! But to no avail. I saw him for the first time in so long the other day, just briefly as the train pulled in at the station. I was getting off, he was getting on (different carriages tho). Our eyes met for a split second (not in a romantic way!)… I had the chance to go on msn messenger for the first time in about 6 months, and saw that he had started using his email account again, which he had stopped doing when we had our “breaking up”.

I sent an email. I got a reply. I read it while I was sitting in 8 degrees of temperature in the school yard at 7 am (I had work to hand in before 8.45!). I am the happiest person alive.

“When is Daddy coming home?”

I used to ask myself each day

But sometimes you have to stop asking

So you can stop coming to that same answer.

He’s never going to be there

He’s never going to care

Faraway in Philip-land

He cannot here you at all.

He needs his suit

He needs his tie

He needs his fancy car

He needs a cafe latte

And social networks wide and far.

A girlfriend will top it off nicely-

Unfortunately they don’t stay long

But when they are gone

Don’t blink or you’l miss it,

Another one takes her place.

Busy on the internet

Busy with his work

Busy taking a nap on the couch

Busy being busy.

No money

But luxury is a must.

When are you coming home, Dad?

I don’t think it will be today.

need large amount of cash by this monday. will clean bathrooms, wash windows, rake leaves, walk dogs - anything to scrape together enough cash to get to go to the deb! I am tired of missing out on stuff because we don’t have enough money. no, i don’t have an ipod, my cd collection does not exceed about 20 (i didn’t buy a single one of them, and more than half are burnt), i only get new clothes when i need (as opposed to want) them… but this is one thing i do not want to miss out on.

so if there’s anything you need done, I’ll do it for a small (reasonablee) fee

Today mmy phone account was blocked, so I can’t make out-going calls or send sms messages.People can call me, but I can’t call them or reply to messages. Who did this? My own darling father (who I can’t even call now to talk about it with him).

The reason he stated for doing this is because the phone bill was “too high”. $95 was the reported bill (though I never get to see it. I just get told every few months what the last one was). I’m not entirely sure what time period this was for, but I think it was a few months.

We don’t have a home phone. We rely totally on mine and my mum’s mobile phones. Now what will I do? Come an emergency, like if I need to be picked up and I don’t have access to another phone (and have no spare change) then how I am I supposed to contact anyone? Send a letter and hope it gets through in time?

I don’t think $95 for three months’ phone use is unreasonable. Yes, it is a bit more than usual, but that was because of emergency telstra hotspot usage, having to make calls to arrange things like appointments, and talking to a friend who lives far away and who I haven’t seen in 6 months.

It’s that time of year again. Programs have been pushed aside left, right and centre to make way for Big Brother. Last year I had hoped that it would never contaminate my television screen again (we don’t watch it, but the ads are bad enough). Yet here it is again. How can we, as a nation, allow this abomination to continue? It’s time to spring into action. I think it’s time to start a barrage of letters of complaint to every pollie I can think of. A clear message must be sent: No more Big Brother!

From what she is saying, every political power is just trying to control us all, and perhaps she is trying to say that we should overthrow the government. I don’t know. But at any rate, how you can you have a government that doesn’t “control” you to some extent? Laws “control” your behaviour, and what you can and can’t do. Governments make laws. Does that mean they are controlling?

Nobody can possibly ever hope to please everyone. Laws will be made, and some people will disagree with them. Some people want more freedom. Some people think we have to much, and are slipping into immoralism. I think Big Brother should be banned (oh yeah, I want to post on that, too).

Really, I don’t want to be talking about this in class. Everyone thinks they’re so open-minded, but there is no such thing. We are all biased.
