we have a new landlord…

kinda…i think he’s just managing or taken over the previous lot of people who were our property managers.

its confusing and we dont trust them…

anyway. it now feels like we have to learn to re-trust these new people… who are supposedly looking out for us, but ultimately justtrying to get better revenue for the owners of this beautiful house. (you know, itd be pretty funny if this house was owned by the snotty old lady who hates us next door)

anyway.. the whole point of this blog was just to say this…

that it feels like we’ve been through having a shit boyfriend, dont trust boys(landlords ) anymore as a result and so its like they are the old boyfriend, and this new flash guy comes strolling in, and he is supposedly going to sort everything out like superman, we have to trust him eventually, as if he is the new boyfriend, in which we have to deal with our trust and heart broken feelings, and this is where I end my boyfriend ananlogy.

all we want is to live here, happily. and be happy :) peaceful enjoyment damnit, and that does NOT mean you get to walk in and out of our house without our knowledge!

New Barriers can be Broken down too…

I have just learnt…

That no matter how safe you make yourself, you can always get hurt…much more hurt by and from the ones you love and who care for you and looked after you during the…probably…worst time in your life.

I will not succumb. I will not let this hurt me. I am strong.

But it hurts, not quite a punch in the gut…but..it hurts.

its sly, betrayal. it hurts more because you dont expect it. you’d never expect it from someone who has that exact thing happen to them so often.

but, I am also realising, that those people who you would never expect it from are more likely to do so.

Simply put, you can’t trust anyone. I don’t want to push myself away from everyone…but, I tried so hard so far to build trust in people again. maybe thats the problem, I shouldnt expect anything better from anyone, because as it is, people don’t prove or at least haven’t proved to me in the past that they can do better and are better. All that I have ever recieved from anyone is betrayal, actions which caused me to be jealous, malicious lies, abusive words and physical abuse, sly horrible decietfulness… among other….bull.

No-one has ever shown me that there is truthfulness, honesty and true care and love and friendship in the world… sure, everyone makes mistakes, thats an excuse in itself. maybe im not the best person myself…but at least I always try my damned hardest to be honest and truthful and well…myself. I try not to be deceitful…

Every time I get close to being happy, and everything being perfect…or at least really good…something bad happens which makes me feel like tearing it all down and starting again.

Its that horrible feeling when you know that all that has been before, means nothing. and whether you forgive that person or not… you have to start from the beginning again

this time tho. i dont know. im so sick of being told things are going to happen and then they change. im not going to be nice anymore…no-one ever repays the favour. and if they do well… i dont know..it just doesnt feel the same

maybe its best if I am on my own. seeing those couples made me sick tonight, because I know that’s how we used to be..hugging and touching and being close. and after all is said and done, what does it matter…eventually you’re back on your own again…one step after the other…being yourself, living your own life.. i dont want to give up on people and on love…but seriously…got so much more out of talking and patting that cat last night..

i dont want to be destined to be alone..i want to be loved, i want to be happy..of course I do…that used to be the only thing i wanted…then i realised to be happy i just had to be happy…by being happy.

and as it is, im ok with not having anyone. I would love to have kids. I really would. I want so much to be able to be a mum, but for now being an aunty is ok…

she is the only one who has ever talked to me about talking to someone about me, as in…ive got a mate u might like…etc. shes a good girl. shes strong. shes funny and i trust her, though i ont want to trust her because I dont want to get hurt. and getting hurt hurts :(

for now, I have work to do…lots of reading…im gonna be strong and happy…and alone for now, because love will find me, one way or another, in time…i must have faith in that at least.

WANTED:

Wanted: a man who is good looking, has great personality, likes records and a variety of music, can play guitar and dance really good, is humble about his achievements, can deal with ants by not killing them, loves me for my odd beliefs and for the weird things I do, who gets on well with my Steven, and who doesnt hate my family… who wont hurt me and who wont betray and be mean to me, but someone who will be funny and slightly sarcastic and who is a good cook and can hold his drink down without being a dick, and someone who wont be scared of me succeeding and earning money and who loves kids, even when they’re annoying. This applicant should apply to me as soon as possible before I get too old and give up on the idea of love! hehe. though, I’m sure that wont be for a while…*hopes*

You people make me sick

after a talk with kyro yesterday…I feel even more pissed off when I see mums not looking after their kids. coz dads can leave… but mums HAVE to stay and look after the baby… some of u will be angry with me but get over it.
to be honest, it really annoys me when people have babies…dont really want them…resent them… and keep partying as if theyve never had a kid.

seriously. if u didnt want responisbility keep your freaking legs closed. argh. there are so many people who want babies and who would take care of them… you people seriously make me sick.

and whats more…  those young mums … god. having a baby means that you look after it…not the baby having to look after you while you’re in a drunken stupor. and if u dont know what stupor is…then go back to freaking school

Now. I normally dont have too much of a problem with young mums… in fact a lot of my mates are. but with some of them, ive seen how they look at their kids. and its really sad. I’m just so sick of seeing disgusting young parents getting on the piss and boasting about it like young kids tend to do… and yet they have a kid to look after.

seriously if you dont actually want your kid. god that makes me sooo angry. know so many people who are actually ready for kids, who want them so badly, and trying really hard… but they cant seem to. and its sad because there are so many people out there who mistreat their kids.

and if anyones gonna bitch about parents needing their time out too.. well obviously. but god. if ur gonna get drunk with ur mates, seriously… dont do it so often that people start wondering where you’ve chucked your kid.

or start rumours that your a terrible mother. or father. seriously. grow up and take responsibility… or keep your freaking legs closed.

 

that is all.

Got my interview tomorrow…

scary. exciting. awesome. nervous. worried. thoughtful. worried…

jeez. I hope I get in. I mean, its not likely that they’d turn me away unless I was really really horrible right????? right?

and now from reading Kay’s comment, starting to frak myself out…again. what if I dont get a job straight out? well. theres a few options… always has been. well more recently especially.

  1. Teaching History and English
  2. Museum Curating
  3. Historian working for some kind of company
  4. Historian writing books
  5. Historian doing research…somewhere for something
  6. Do my masters…
  7. Be a librarian
  8. Be a professional traveller
  9. Work in retail
  10. work in a bookstore
  11. and… if theres absolutely nothing around…I’ve worked in real scummy places before…like that old yucky fish and chip store…am surprised it stayed open for so long!

so yeah. have a few options…but, god. hope I get in.

think I should write down what im good at, why I like kids and why I want to teach. will divulge more tomorrow. but yes. very exciting! wish me luck!!! :)

I’m Gonna Get a Job…

straight out of university. it cant be that hard. I mean, even with everyone talking about how difficult the job market is right now, it shouldnt be too hard to find something..

If you’re determined enough and have connections in the right place from networking and being social with people, its not too hard to find a good job.

so many of my friends, and I love you to pieces, have finished uni and havent mnaged to find a job yet. now im not saying theyre not determined enough, maybe theyre just not happy with what they want to do, or dont know who to contact to find a good job.

so far, I’m happy with my degree, im excited about the possibilities of palces I can go to and I’m very happy with how things are going.

If something shit happens, well, I’ve been through enough now to know how to pull myself back together and get on with things… so I’m sure I’ll be ok.

Life is for living. for experiences and im so excited to live that I cant wait to get out and just do it. truly :)

at the moment, an essay is staring me in the face waiting me for me to do it, and yet, I hear restaurant city game from facebook playing, and am writing in this instead.

but this little blog i have got going at the moment, liberates me. frees me. from oppression of my own mind, my own pressures and releases me into my dreams and the great beyond, where I and everyone else has potential and can go far. very far. I’m excited :)

Mood Swings

It annoys me that I can go from talking about love one moment, to being completely angry about everything thats happened again. seriously.

im still re-acquainting myself with myself and how things are in the real world, since i was out of it, in my own little dream world for so long with him…our own little world.

but now that im out, i see clearer, and i can understand….not everyone cares. some people wouldnt help someoe out if they were dying..some people wouldnt risk their life for someone elses. and perhaps i should say its not their fault…but to be honest, they suck. and theyre not good people.

I’ve been thinking for a while that I should write a book, and I cant quite remember if i mentioned that in the beginning, but yes…I’m going to. to help people undertand how to be better people. to understand me and what ive been through, so that i can try and explain, what cant really be explained which is why no-one can possibly ever understand me, because there is no real way of explaining it, unless you’ve been through it all yourself, except even then, people dont know, or cant comprehend why you think like that, why you say things and why you do things a particular way.

I wish it were as simple as laying out the truth for everyone.

I know what I did. I know what he did. I know what she did.

There may be some confusion and grey parts, but im sure if I talked to the right people they’d tell me what I wanted. Though I dont specifically want to know because it just makes me sick.

I wish people wouldnt go back on their word. That they would truly say what they meant and stuck to it.

Words mean alot to me. Actions too. Im a history and english major. Im a person.

If you’re going to talk about specific topics with me, i keep secrets. I wont tell anyone. Some people get scared and run away, scared I will say something. But no, I dont. The only thing i tell people about is myself and my issues, because if I didnt talk about it I’d be … well… to be mild, I’d be screwed.

If your going to tell me something huge, and life changing, dont go back on your word…dont break that trust you (fought?) tried? …got back … so hard…for.

Dont break my heart into a million little pieces and then stick around just to make sure theyre really trampled with.. is that what you wanted? to make me feel so unbelievably worthless that I’d start believing that horrid lady …the ‘counsellor’ (though I’m pretty sure she got her degree out of a cereal box) … so that you wouldnt feel like such an …idiot…and arsehole, like what you did was actually true.

damnit. there is so much pain, anger and hurt and broken trust inside me, but instead of breaking down and falling, I try to stand up…brush myself off, and start each day as if its the last day… and maybe it is..for all we know. but. theres no point in breaking down, because I want to be happy. He could never give me that. Only I can give it to myself.

This much I know for certain.

Life is nothing like a bunch of chocolates…because all chocolates are good. its more like something else which i cant quite put an analogy to…

Life was so much simpler when we were little, though they were still dramatic, and felt life threatening at the time..but now..jeez. take each day as it comes, smile when the sun comes out again, embrace the falling raindrops, live another day.

pour aimer est de perdre

To love is to lose… or to lose with much having loved someone… or to have loved then lost, or lost while in love…either if not both are equally and separetely difficult

am having a very long discussion with one of my more romantic at heart friends…about the one and only true talks of any great consequence..

I’m quite tired now, but I think this is the post where all my great thoughts of love are going to be.

Good night for now :) allie

I have a degree..woah.

so I finally realised today, that I have a degree. not quite in my hands, but I have graduation next month. this is scary,

  1. because that means people will think im a real “qualified” historian/english academic now
  2. I’ll have to do something with it
  3. It’s taken a lot to get me here
  4. I’m proud of myself
  5. My family is proud of me
  6. I will be able to give back to the community and to my whanau and my iwi

Its important that I’ve realised. because now that I have, I can look forward to the future

a few things to remember from the maori graduates conference from the past two days, (which was amazing by the way! we have some real talent at waikato uni)

  • you will never be clever. you will only ever be a learner all your life
  • once your mind has been stretched it cant go back to being ignorant and small again
  • pro-vice maori office are freaking mean organisers
  • everyone needs to have a vision of what they want for their work, life and their whanau and then the world
  • everyone needs to try to the best of their ability
  • everyone needs to give back.

I’m more passionate about studying now. i wish I’d been allowed to go to those things when I was an under-grad.

I’m growing up. times are changing, some things stay the same, but ultimately, things are good and things are going really well.

 

oh and ambers party went off and we had ANOTHER wicked time in town…perhaps i shouldnt have mixed so much of those wines. but thats the first time since i started drinking again that i had a yuck feeling, just from being sick a little. but thats my own fault, no-one elses really.

and made a good some up today walking home… its got lots of …and you! … and… and i said… and i say…. things like that :) hehe
