ug. i go through stages when i think that i might give up drinking forever. that would be cool, right? how strong and solid would i be, holding up sobriety like a medal of honour. i would be so independant... i have fun Soberly. i don't go for that drinking thing. i could have that Irritating air of superiority that people who refuse to drink do.
but, no. i have all these excellent intentions of protecting my liver and dignity, and blow it all when someone gives me a glass of wine. great. well done.
'breakfast on pluto' was great fun. it was such a sweet, magical film. maybe the main character didn't have a lot os sophisication, and the supporting characters are just props. but it has such an enchanting feel to it. as a Movie Person, i now need to develope a more critical eye when it comes to film. i am pretty unsophisticated with film in general to be honest, but i can Work on that, i am sure. this is in preperation for my new life as a dendy person as well as bookstore girl, and sorting out files woman. whoo.
what else. the forum on spirituality in the city was really interesting as well. the first speaker was sort of forgettable, while Luke Roberts was really great. and Father Bob! he wandered off on all sorts of tangents, kept to the point for about two seconds, and still managed to say more about the state of the city as a place for spirituality than the other two. i think he had a good point; people lock themselves away from the streets, and from the world. the lack of community. brisbane, however, has a little too much community. i like the idea of being anonymous in a huge seething mass. that was part of what was so wonderful about new york, and why i want to travel so much. i like dissapearing completely. and the internet! that is the wonder of the internet. my friends here don't know my whole world through distant contacts. (this, in case you didn't pick up on this, is an Anti-Brisbane week....) though randomly running into people is fun at times.
off to finish that article i was suppose to finish... er... a few hours ago.

Ah, yes, the aftereffects of drinking. Not to put even more a damper of things, but as we grow older, we're less and less able to tolerate the consequences. The price keeps getting steeper until a few moments of inebriation are no longer worth the morning after. And then it gets steep enough that you think of the aftereffects even as someone hands you that glass of wine!
Visibility and invisibility both have their benefits. Sometimes, you can be both at the same time. Scream, holler, jump up and down, and people will be so distracted, nobody will be able to see through the noise. It can be downright fun!
