The Wickety Whack Blog of the New Millenium!

I mean seriously, I was walking home tonight, and some guys pulled up beside me, I said hi, then one of them threw a beer can at me! I mean, what the fuck!? It just boggles the mind how people like that can exist... what good can come of throwing a beer can at someone? How can people be bad for no reason!? What the fuck? Are they trying to impress their friends with their evil side? What's so impressive about evil anyway? It's so much harder to be righteuos... bad eggs just must be the most cowardly people in the world... I seriously don't understand it...

Apart from that mind puzzle, tonight was... pretty damn awesome (pardon my French). It was JJ's going away party, and I haven't been to a good party for a while so that was really fun, I enjoyed myself. What's interesting is that I was having a talk with Aaron and I was suprised to see he was so in tune with the world around him (or at least me). He'd say "Jerram, you're like this:" then he's nail me right to a T. And it's hard to believe that someone so observant of others can be that... dumb. It was quite interesting.

On another note, my love life still sucks. I've been wanting to ask Sara out but I'd been advised by everyone to wait a while because she just broke up with her boyfriend... and just recently I've found out that she's going to Queensland next year, and even if I wanted to (which I do) it's too late to try and start anything now! Gah! it just annoys me... all the time I find that whenever I like someone, they've either got a boyfriend or they're about to move away. I have some sort of curse... it sucks. I mean, here's a girl that I could really get into, but I don't want to be the rebound guy so I hold off a bit... now she's moving away! I mean... weak as piss dude... weak as piss... I hate my life.

On another similar note, I've been thinking about my Kally a lot over the last few days... I miss her so much... It's sad to say that the highlight of my romantic life has been with someone I havent even seen, or heard, or smelt... I really want to go see her... but I can't afford it at the moment. Someday I will... someday... *looks off into the sunset*

So as you can see, I didn't get many songs that I'd actually heard of.

But now to the main purpose of this post, and that's to address my good friend Mandi and the tough time she's having at the moment. She was the first real friend I made when I moved up here and didn't know anyone, and it was through her that I made friends with all the guys I hang out with today. It was good to meet her early on because she's what you'd call a "high sensation seeker", and partly means she gets bored really easily and is always trying to meet new people (which was good for me because I suck at that). However, this attribute has really let her down over the last few months or so. You see, while all of her friends (me included)got to know each other and formed into a group, she was often off meeting new people and that has ultimately led to her near exclusion of the group. I think her choice in men has also made her more undesirable within the group. Rather than settle down with a nice guy she'd rather seek out sleazy guys for a bit of short lived action. This again isolated her more when she got involved with Aaron, Ian's roomie. Aaron was really sleazy, a dole-bludger and dropkick to boot (although I made the effort to get to know him for Mandi's sake). And so what started out as casual sex became an unsteady relationship. But the point I'm making is that no one liked Aaron and the fact that Mandi was spending all her time with him instead of her friends (we could never really co-exist) meant she was drifting further away from the group. But anyway, I won't go into any more details about why she's drifted away, but she's having a real hard time because she can't understand why she's outside the circle. Everyone's telling her that it's her fault she's on the outside, and she really really wants to change so she can fit in again, and it just hurts me to see her so distraught because she's always so happy. We had a little talk tonight where I was trying to explain things to her but I just couldn't find the words, so in writing this post I've tried to figure out how to express what I think is the case so I can articulate it better.
