(no subject)
Saw Tracey yesterday. Had a very interesting appointment. I told her why I wanted to go to university so much and why I get so stupidly nervous over homework and all those related issues. She said something like that I shouldn't worry about it because there are lots of ways to meet people and plenty of job opportunities. I think that's what she said, sometimes I can't remember a thing after EMDR. Her example of what could happen if I fail this year (almost a suggestion) was to move to Adelaide, get any sort of dumb job like working in a video shop, meet lots of people and let things happen. I really liked that idea at the time though looking at it now it seems like there's lots of room for things to not work out.
She also told me that she didn't think I was unemployable like I said, which was a pretty big confidence boost. She said that despite not having any previous jobs, being sick and overweight, employers would pick me because of my face (I forget exactly what she said about my face) and because I'm smart, very friendly and I can communicate well. I thought that was what employers WEREN'T looking for, but I thought about it and most people who work in HMV and JB and places like that are actually quite nice people, though saying that a lot of them are pretty ditzy. I guess it's just public servants, bankers and Telstra customer support operators who are hired because they're arseholes. Anyway, the main thing to do is to complete the year, plenty of time to think about what to do if/when I fail.
I was also going to post about an argument sort of thing I had with mum but I don't care about that anymore. It was just usual crap, something about how she thinks I should do this Centrelink job finding program when all Centrelink would do is elbow me into doing something I didn't really want to do so that I wouldn't be able to get any other qualifications in the future so the Liberal Party government can keep me in a particular rut for the sake of having economic stability with more lower paid people who have no chance of doing anything else. No biggie.
Instead I'll post some pics of some posters I bought the other day. My room didn't have anything on the walls other than my Kylie calendar and a Bjork mini poster that came as a fold out sleeve for the Venus As A Boy single. It's really hard to find posters too, the vast majority consist of either hip-hop artists, stupid fake advertisements for beer and junk like that. I was looking at them and I thought "bugger me, I never post any photos, why not show off the posters and then some?". I'll save the "and then some" for later.
The first is self explanatory. The second is Kylie off the Red Blooded Woman cover, only not cropped at all. I think she looks a little retarded but it was the only Kylie one they had, and I looked everywhere. Also, she's wearing the same outfit she wore in the video for Slow, and that's my favourite Kylie single since her record deal with Parlophone, so that sealed it.
