Scorpio + Sagittarius
One common factor between Scorpio and Sagittarius is that both of you are goal oriented overachievers. While Sagittarius is always read to try out new things and see new places, Scorpio only wishes to concentrate on home and love life. At the same time, Sagittarius compliments your conservative and quiet side by being outgoing and surprisingly bold. At first, this trait might not sit well with you, but you should keep in mind that Sagittarius may get you out of your comfort zone and teach you to let go and have fun. Your relationship with Sagittarius is also set to get some tongues wagging due to the unexplainable chemistry between you two. As usual, your controlling and possessive nature can lead to the end of an otherwise beautiful relationship. Your inability to trust your partner because of their outgoing and friendly nature may end up making Sagittarius insecure. If you ever break up, you are very likely to remain good friends.
Friends sounds good.

What an emotional 24 hours!
Wow. What a horrible few days. I was upset yesterday because JD was gone and I couldn't quite understand why I was feeling so down and sad and like I couldn't do anything to fix it. I called Holly and we had a good chat about it. She told me to take a deep breath and I was feeling better, until the evening. So I was meant to be doing homework all day, not that I did. I went for a walk in the Queen Victoria Gardens and sat down and tried to rest my eyes. From all the crying I had done that morning they were so hard to keep open. I listened to some music then went to meet Jess at 430pm at the Southern Cross Station DFO. We had a chat about it and she said she had heard some things about JD from Kate and Beth but hadn't actually met him. Holly said he must be nice because he has been texting me and said sorry that we didn't meet up. Back to that point later. So Jess and I went and met up with the Perth girls for a drink. They were with some of the other boys from the party, including Mark, but no JD. It was okay. I felt a little funny but I wasn't asked about anything. Then I went to go to the Washington concert and after about half an hour I had another breakdown, a worse one. I couldn't stop crying and had to get out of there and I called Holly again. I was struggling because I didn't want to be alone and didn't know what to do about anything. She said for me to call Jess and go to her place and it was exactly what I needed. Here is my enlightened Twitter post:
I think what's happening is that I'm feeling what I do after a break up. What I went through after Yorick was that I need to be around people all the time to help me not feel alone. I need that now. I think that's why being at the back packers is so hard, plus it's not a home. Being at Jess's has been just what I needed but I"m afraid to leave. If I had my own room in a house here it'd be better. Comforting. That's what I need but what can I do until then? I can't be alone.
It's a bit desperate and I'm actually feeling better now. We watched Inception and I have started to apply some of the mind tricks to my situation. I'm locking all thoughts of JD into a big black square safe with a big lock. I do think about him but I have been trying to rationalise it. He's not Yorick. The pain was 10 times worse there. He's a silly Perth boy. He's a slut. He's not my ideal guy. It was just some fun. I liked the physicality of it more and the feeling of being with someone in a boyfriend girlfriend way. It's not about him, but at the same time it is. I just really hate that I've come undone again. It's all piling up on me -- the lack of money, the lack of a job and the lack of a house. It's going to work out. Holly and Ruben are coming over in 1.5-2 weeks for just as long as we'll be able to hang out and she said I'd have a place by that stage. I sure hope so. It was so great being at Jess's. I can't wait to have our own place. I want my own room and somewhere nearby, even the backyard if there is one, to relax in and heal. Nature is my Church after all. I like that I have discovered that. This afternoon/evening Nicole and I are going to go down to St Kilda and go to the beach and get some food. I love beaches. They have always helped me deal with issues. I can always go back home for a few days next week if I really need. Then again I wouldn't know what to do with all my stuff. Kirsten's? I just have to keep on top of this. I can conquer this and I shall. I just have to belittle the JD experience. So when I was at the Washington concert, not that I saw anything, I got a text from JD saying "Hey I'm sorry I didn't get to see you before I left, I feel really bad :(" and that started me crying again. I had to get out. I wrote back "That's ok. It would have been nice to see you... I had lots of fun with you." I haven't heard anything since and I probably won't for a while. So yes, Holly said he must be nice because he wrote that to me. He is nice, and he's cute and funny and weird but also a bit of a slut. Hmm. As my horoscope said, I just have to move on. Here are some good ones:
Monday 25th -- the morning of the party.
Someone finds you mesmerizing, Scorpio. You have that affect on a lot of people, but this individual really knows how to work it. He or she is a master of flattery and seduction, and could make you feel like a million bucks. Don't succumb to this type of adulation today. Just because someone is enamored with you and has a passionate way of showing it doesn't mean you should jump into anything. You are a sucker for sweet talk, because you happen to be quite a sweet talker yourself -- but this may not be the right situation for you. Think it over.
I wish I knew what this really meant at the time. I'm not sure when I first looked at it though and even that day I didn't realise what it meant. Only way after the fact. It's definitely a lesson learned. I won't be doing that again, ever.
Friday 19th -- today.
All the worrying in the world won't change a thing, Scorpio. Usually you are someone who can move past a problem with ease, and not keep looking over your shoulder. But you may now been caught up in worrying about the future affects of something that has already been completed. Did you make the right choice? What do others think of how you handled yourself? Will there be a fallout from what you said or did? All the worry is pointless, no matter that happens next. But in fact it is especially meaningless because you did everything right. Move on. Sop worrying.
These are a little contradictory but the message to move on sounds like just what I need to do. And that's why I'm trying to do. It was just hard to metaphorically fall over like this again when my whole life is unsettled. It's not a good combination.
This one is nice in itself.
Tuesday 26th -- Wednesday.
When an apple tree blooms, each delicate blossom eventually becomes a delicious Macintosh or Gala or Granny Smith apple, and so on. It's almost miraculous to watch the progress of a tree in flower as its branches become heavy with fruit. You are now in the blooming stage with a special endeavour,m Scorpio. Don't worry so much about when you will get to the fruit-bearing stage. Just enjoy the fragrance and atmosphere of the moment, and know that you are on your way to getting what you are working for.
I think this could be referring to my assignments, as that's the only possible explanation from the time. I did finish an assignment on Thursday night while hoping for a text from JD to say to come and meet him. I really want to know what he's thinking about everything, and if he felt bad for me or for him that we didn't get a chance to meet up again. I think bad for me. He probably doesn't care all that much. I shouldn't even be thinking about this but I think it's better to get rid of it all into here and have a clear mind, like for the second assignment I need to finish! That's why I'm here out at Uni. I do wish that we had had a chance to meet again. I really liked it when he kissed me goodbye so tenderly and hotly and convinced me that we'd meet again. It's probably for the best though. Sigh.
I guess I had better do some homework now. I think I'll be feeling strange for a few days at least, especially since I'll be alone in the back packers. Nicole is looking into me moving into her back packers so that'll be nice. Each bed has its own power point(s) and shelves next to your head so I won't even have to leave my bed to watch movies or do some homework. It'll be nice just to have her there, even though what I really need is to be staying at a house. I'm not sure that's possible though. I seriously cannot wait for this back packing stage to end. I'm way past over it. It's the whole alone thing and the no comforts of home thing too. Damn this. Tomorrow I need to go to Jess's work and apply for a job there. I think Nicole and I and maybe Chelsea will be looking at another house. Amy and I are tentatively meeting at 2pm as I'm not quite sure what's happening. I might also come back out here to do more Uni, unless I go to the State Library. I just need to keep busy. It sucks though as I have maybe $300 left and half of that will go to a room for a week. I will get paid again by Centrelink on Monday so that's a relief. I just wish we didn't have to be paying this rent. Hopefully we both get jobs soon. Mum and dad are going to help me out financially so that's nice to know but I still feel really poor. Damn it! What a high and low week. Mostly low. Was it worth it? I'm not sure. It's not just JD though but that doesn't help.
I should really do some homework. I just needed to vent. This is going to be a struggle but I shall conquer this.

Study girl
Ah Uni. I've been here for a few hours at least and am about to leave and return to Kirsten's. I might need a chocolate bar first. I'm feeling pretty drained. I've been doing research on my assignments and for the AIM721 Cultural Policy Report I am thinking I'll change from the NGV to the British Museum. I've already found more than I ever did with the NGV. It was all much easier too. I just hope I have the right things. I'll have to ask Dana and Vicky about their findings. I will also take a trip out to Rippon Lea House and Gardens soon to analyse it for the first assignment for AIM723. So I'm feeling more prepared for that. Oh drat. I'm meant to return a book for that assignment and I haven't even read it. Oopsies. I might have to see if I can renew it. The others aren't due for a while. Tomorrow is my job trial at The Mess Hall. I need to go shopping afterwards for presents for the housemates. Then Sunday is moving day! Eep. I'm so excited to be settled and feel more at home than I do at Kirsten's as it's not and never will be my home. Not that the back packers will but it's closer to having my own space. I bought a ticket to see Karnivool at the Corner Hotel on the 9th of June! I'm so exited. Nicole Tweeted about it earlier today and I bought it on my way here to Uni. I'm so excited. Now all I need to do is get the Seekae ticket and I'll be set. I might even go and see The Cat Empire! I'm so excited. This is what I've been missing being here in Melbourne. It's what everyone's doing and I want to do it too. So I shall. Nicole will be my gig Yoda. I'm sure of it. Right. Better go back 'home'. Dinner? Oh it's Friday. Everywhere will be busy. I might actually get some thai although I do have some spaghetti back 'home'. Hmm. Oh, I talked to Centrelink this morning and apparently I had been being paid the wrong amount. I'll be getting more. Maybe I can go and buy a new laptop soon! I had better wait until I get settled in a home though. Yes, I"ll wait. I'm glad I"ll be getting more money though.

Presents, jobs, and Jantz
Mothers Day.
Send mum the Marie Antoinette DVD and a card. Possibly another movie.
Dads' birthday.
Buy him some of the balsa wood bird broaches from Harem Fashion on Brunswick Street.
Mums' birthday.
I'm sure I'll find some lovely things on Brunswick Street.
James' birthday.
I saw this cute magnifine necklace in an op shop on Brunswick Street so I might get that for my brother. Something random for someone random :D He's turning 26 this year. I can't believe it! It seems oldish but then again he has a wife and daughter and that makes his seem young, which he is. I'm only 24 so for me to be 26 seems much older, which it is. Hmm.
I need to start using my to-do list pad that I bought. I really need to write Andi a letter, get my Working With Children certificate sorted [all I need to do is go and get the photo taken but I keep forgetting or putting it off], and get some of these presents sorted, James' especially as his birthday is on the 22nd and I'll need to send it in advanced. I need to get his new house address so I can send it there. Maybe I'll ask mum and dad so it can be a surprise.
Last night I saw Sucker Punch at the movies and it was fantastic! I want to get more out of life because of it and do everything I want to do in life, all the classed [dance, self-defence/combat/weapon fighting, photography, archaeology!!], the travelling, family, kids, living in the UK and NZ. So much to do.
On another note, I wrote this in a Twitter post not too long ago --
Had another YHF dream last night. I don't hate him, it's just I'd rather not think of him. We were together for 4+ years so I suppose it's expected. I did love him after all. It's not easy to remove a part of yourself and I'm not sure why you would want to. It was important but it didn't work out. He's still a nice guy underneath it all. I think we can be friends again. In a way we still are. Maybe I should text him. Maybe not. It's weird. Now I'm a bit sad. Life so different. I thought I was set. I'm glad I get to do what I really want to in life despite it all and there's plenty of that. More time needs to pass and I need to sort out my life before we revisit our friendship. One day it would be nice to really be friends but I'm not sure it's possible. I'm not good at that sort of thing. I'll always feel uneasy around him. It's just a fact. I've never had a male friend as I was always too shy and it has left me undeveloped in that area. When I'm in a relationship it's completely different and I'm at ease. Maybe we can be like that one day. Fingers crossed.
It's nice being so far away from him and not being able to access his Facebook account through my sister's. I asked her to delete him from hers as I did that a while ago, but I liked being able to see what he was up to. I don't actually like what he's up to, the partying, the sexual content of his posts, the tranny party photos. It's stupid and he should just grow up. He's being such an idiot and I think everyone agrees with me. Whatever. That's why I love using Twitter now for my status updates at least. Barely anyone reads them so it's more like blogging and I can saw what I want when I want and no one will know. Some people read it but it's nice that it's less read and only people who want to read it will. I like that he's not in my life anymore. I like that I'm here in Melbourne. It's better this way.
I'm booked in for the Greenhouse backpackers for Sunday for at least a week. Tomorrow I must call Centrelink and let them know where I'll be moving to and what amount of 'rent' I'll be paying so I can get the rent assistance. I almost forgot so I'll have to set a reminder on my phone. I'm so exited to get my independence back. It's going to be lovely, but also not lovely in a different way. I am too comfortable here at Kirsten's and I've been here too long. Must go shopping on Saturday afternoon for their presents.
That reminds me! I have a job trial at The Mess Hall on Saturday at 10am! I'm psyched. I hope it goes great and I get a job out of it. It'd be a lifesaver. Then I can buy myself a new laptop!! Officeworks have some great priced ones. I just need to look up RAM and CPU stuff so I know what I'm looking for as sometimes they are too small or something. It's like MG and GB. I am useless with those terms. I have no idea how much they mean. Ahh. Although I'm getting better with those I must say.
After working at the Mission today doing more cataloging, us girls went for a drink at Bertha Browns next to the YHA. We shared a bottle of Jantz and I'm still a little tipsy! It's lovely. I like the bubbly happiness. For me it's the best drunk/tipsy there is. I'm such a fan. I hate sickly/spinning drinks like vodka. I like happiness thanks! Daquiri! Yum. So now I'm back at Kirsten's and I might watch another movie. I watched Igor last night. I bought it from JBHifi along with two others. I might watch another tonight. I'm not in a very study mode, although tomorrow I have to go out to Uni and study and return one of the books I borrowed! Must get the Children's check photo taken at a post office. Must also write Andi the letter! Must get James his present too. I hope I remember all of this. I'll refer to this post if I need to.

Meh
Not feeling the greatest anymore. I was feeling fine this morning but now I'm in a funk. Internet helps though. I just wish I had more Bones to keep me company tonight. I have to do more homework though so I should focus on that. I changed the paint for my canvas shoe project. I'm thrilled to be able to finally finish them. Drat that paint. I got an apple danish from Babka then tried to do a resume drop and found a few bookstores but it's something to do whilst doing other things I think. Now I'm not in the best mood.
It's definitely time I move out of Kirsten's room. It's time but I hope I can find something suitable soon. I might even have to do a room share but that will have to do. I'll tolerate it. There are a few on Gumtree I'm finding. Maybe I can go see somewhere tomorrow if it works out that way. So annoying.
I didn't explain why I'm looking at short-term accommodation did I? Nicole asked me to move in with her and her Canadian friend. She arrives on the 20th and that's only 2 weeks away but it might take a while to find somewhere so I'm looking at at least a month more. That's why I need the short-term accommodation. I'd just go to a backpackers but they're not that cheap and I don't want a cheap one. I want my own space if it can be done. Ahh.
Tonight I'm going to have Indomei Mei Gorreng noodles for dinner and watch a movie. Urgh.
It's definitely time I move out of Kirsten's room. It's time but I hope I can find something suitable soon. I might even have to do a room share but that will have to do. I'll tolerate it. There are a few on Gumtree I'm finding. Maybe I can go see somewhere tomorrow if it works out that way. So annoying.
I didn't explain why I'm looking at short-term accommodation did I? Nicole asked me to move in with her and her Canadian friend. She arrives on the 20th and that's only 2 weeks away but it might take a while to find somewhere so I'm looking at at least a month more. That's why I need the short-term accommodation.

A house with Nicole
So, I got a Twitter message from Nicole last night, Sarah's ex flatmate, asking me to move in with her when she arrives on the 20th of April! It won't be that soon so I'm looking into short-term accommodation so I can give Kirsten back her room. I've been there for a month and now I am slowly understanding that it's okay not to be settled yet because the right place for me is still in my future. I believe that it'll be what I'm looking for with Nicole and her Canadian friend. The friend wants to love on the East, which suits me very well, and I know I can trust Nicole and will feel like it's my home too. I can't wait! Now I just have to find some short-term accommodation. I asked G about her family here as she said to me if I get stuck I can ask her so I did. She's going to look into it for me. Yahoo! That might turn up something nice and cheap too but still with wonderful people. I'm so excited.
Today I went out to Uni and I'm proud of myself as I navigated the library and got a load of books for my assignments. I spent a few hours on the internet gathering resources so I'm psyched to start putting it all together over the weekend. I am worried about the deadline for both of the creeping up on me. I'll be alright. For a while now I have wanted to go and study in a park, but I think it might be a little tricky at this stage as I need my laptop. One day I'll do it. I really need to work on my other blog about all the little wonderful things. Maybe soon. Probably not. Better go meet Jess now for shopping! Vintage bikes is the goal. I also need fabric paint for the awesome white canvas shoes I started working on to turn them into Oxfords thanks to Miss James. I'll have to put a picture up on my new blog. Great way to kick it off! Go me.

Update
I'm at a strange little internet cafe above Swanston Street at the moment. I'm here because I'm meant to be getting resources for my assignments and yet I've started by going on Facebook and on here doing all the fun stuff first! I did get one document for my assignment so I'm not doing all bad/
On Monday evening I went and saw a room in Brunswick. It's near Anstey train station so that's great and the area seems nice enough. The house is pretty cute and the people living there are pretty awesome. I'm actually waiting to hear back from them to see if I've gotten the room. It was like a job interview. There were some other girls around having a look so that was a bit funny but Hugh and Jess[?] were really nice. There is a guy living in the shed out back and he seems nice enough too. I have already been picturing myself in there. They are a family of friends -- just what I've been searching for. I'm worried I won't get it but I guess that will mean it wasn't the right fit. I know I could be happy there. They have friends over for drinks some times. It just sounds really nice. They all know each other too so their friendship group is getting a bit too close so they needed someone from the outside. Hehe. I wonder if I'll get a yes today. On Monday night I had two dreams about them saying yes to me. It was nice.
After the viewing I went and saw a Danish movie In A Better World with Kirsten and her friend Kristen. It was pretty intense but I liked it. Then we went and had a healthy burger from Grill'd. So delicious. I also had a chat to mum and I'll give her a call tonight to say whether or not I got the room. I will do a bit of a check now just in case it doesn't work out.
Uni has been good this week. On Monday we went to the Abbortsford Convent. I had to catch a cab there [$15] as the train was an express and it would have taken me further than I wanted to go. Ahh well. It was a nice day out. We have to do a bit of a group exercise so I also need to work on that as well as my next two assignments. I'll be busy. I'm actually excited about getting stuck into working. I've been slack, not even reading the readings. Oops. As long as the assignments get done it's fine, but the readings do help with the assignments. I've got it covered.
Savers was a fail. I doubt I'll go there again.
I was thinking last night how I felt like chocolate. Then I thought about Easter and how this will be my first Easter away from Margate even for a catch up in the afternoon. I'll miss getting the eggs. It reminds me of Christmas but not as big so it's not so bad that I miss it. I just like the family getting together even if just to be around a chocolate egg bowl. Sigh.
I've been watching a lot of Bones lately. I bought the first and second seasons after watching some with Jess at her house in Sedden. She's addicted too! I'm onto the second season and I know I'll need more soon. I also need a job soon. I'm at $1200 or less and it's getting a little worrying. I'll go around on Friday with my resume maybe. Tonight I hope to get some assignment work done. I have to leave here before 6 though to use my tram ticket. I didn't have enough coins for a daily and anyway, I don't want to spend $20 for 2 hours on the internet here even though I must have in Sydney. Ahh dear.
I should get back to the task at hand -- assignment work!

Hug a Gum tree
After a day of not feeling like doing anything, and I didn't, I had a nice evening with The Germans [Kirsten's pet name for the German couple living with her and Sandi] and their friends, also from Germany, who are down for a few days from Brisbane. They leave early tomorrow morning. We went to Bimbos and had the always amazing $4 pizzas. I had a Rekorderlig berry cider and it was nice to be a little tipsy listening to the Germans speaking German. Sometimes they spoke English. We were in the fairly private room upstairs and a small group joined us. A brother and sister, and their friend who is family to them. We all had a bit of a chat and the brother kept looking at me and smiling in a way to suggest he was into me. It got me all scared and heart racing and blushing. After an hour maybe we left and it was nice to get outside into the cool night. He was cute enough but I'm not after a fling. He didn't seem like my ideal guy. I'm too shy anyway.
I had another look not too long ago on Gumtree for rooms in Richmond and found a lovely one with two sweet sounding girls. I emailed them so once again I am praying they write back to me and we can arrange a meeting time and day. I really want to have a room by next week. I have a viewing on Monday night in Brunswick that could be very suitable but I am really hoping to get a room in Richmond. I don't want to have to say to the Brunswick one that I'm waiting to hear back from another places, if I get appointments set up for any of the Richmond rooms I have emailed about. I want to be able to say "yes I'll take it" straight away and be done looking. I don't want to jerk them around either and then say yes after two days or something if I am able to see some Richmond ones in two days space for example. I'm just hoping I'll either love it or know it's not right for me. The people are the key really.
Tomorrow I might go to Savers. I think I'm going to the Derby with Jess in Geelong but I can do a morning trip. I really didn't feel like doing anything today even though I did want to have a little adventure. I will even find a park somewhere to have a sit down in. That's so peaceful and I love being connected to Nature. I really like the idea that Nature is God. Not a person as such but worshiping the land and Earth instead of a person. That sounds better to me. When we went to the Botanical Gardens for Uni and we hugged a tree, I really felt a connection to the Earth. It was beautiful. I want to hug more Gum trees. For now, however, I should get off the internet and go to sleep!

Richmond!!!
I feel like a bit of an idiot! I was just doing some searching on Gumtree for rooms and found I was looking in the wrong area for Richmond/Hawthorn! So I changed the settings and I have contacted two people about rooms. I really hope I hear back soon.
Tonight was lovely. After a day at the Mission helping Monica put things onto the new shelves we got for our new archive room we went out for drinks with Andrea, maybe the CEO of the Mission or something important like that, and Kate Spinks who I met up with the day after I first arrived here and set me up with Monica and the Mission. I felt like a grown up. I've never really gone out for those kind of drinks with a few girlfriends and now I have! Andi and I did a few times but it's not quite the same. Just different. We went to the bar around the corner from the World Trade Centre where we go to the coffee shop a lot and it's also where Kate works at the Police Museum. Very central to all of us. Then Monica dropped me home. Yay!
I dropped off my first assignment this afternoon. I took the train out to Burwood, which took about 33 minutes, 5 minutes to walk to the tram stop to get to Uni, then 10 minutes on the tram, so it doesn't actually save me much time in the end. It was a much nicer trip out though. I do like trains. If it stopped closer to the Uni it would be perfect but alas it doesn't quite work that well. If I get a room in Richmond I won't need to bother switching from train to tram. I'll already be saving time by living closer. I really hope I get one of the ones I contacted tonight. They seem really great. Although the second one asked for a professional [worker] and I'm not so I might not get a look in. Andrea said she's going to talk to some people at the Mission to see if I can have one of the rooms in the Mans they call it, which is where the live-in Chaplain used to live, but it has now been furnished and students are moving in. It's out of my price range but Andrea might get me a good deal at least for a bit while I'm looking for somewhere else. Then again that might be a waste of time and effort to lug all of my extra things around with me. I'll just have to get a place in Richmond, which is what I wanted all along!!
Tomorrow I might go to Lygon St and to Savers and do some grocery shopping. I also need to get some more homework done, preferably relating to the second and third assignments for the first unit so I can get those underway before starting anything related to the second unit. That's the only thing I hate about the way the course is structured. Never mind. It'll all work out just fine. It's a bit stressful but I'm not actually doing much work. Haha. Doing something might fix that.
