- If you are in Newcastle NSW from the 2nd - 6th of October, Why dont you check out The National Young Writers Festival? You should make a special effort to participate in this AWESOME workshop I am running on Monday the 6th called Imaginary Friends are People too. IT IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN! I am especially looking forward to visiting my friend Justin who lives down there, and yes, he is real. like, other people see him too, he has a facebook account, there sis photogrpahic evidence.

- Lately I have been thinking about REAL friends and how complicated they are. When I walk away from some social interactions I feel morbidly depressed or unfulfillled. Other times I am as happy as a clam. I am not the most introspective person and I have very little understanding of why I feel certain emotions, so I have been analysing my feelings wen around other people to understnad what makes me feel happy/sad. Still havent arrived at a conclusive statement… but will keep you updated.

- Last night I was going to a poetry slam in brisbane (which i was going to win)… but i didnt get to sign up because I was late, because someone ran up the back of my car. His name was Tristan, he was very stylishly dressed and very nice. My motor was destoryed, I laughed alot, it seemed like it should be a funny situation. We both had insurance but neither of us had insurance that would actually pay for anything… allwell… The slam was fun though. It took me 12 hours to get home… I did sleep over at Angus’ place on the way…

- I love that feeling when you get home, you havent changed your clothes in days, you havent slept in your own bed for nights, you’re eating habbits have been questionable and you are just ready to crash. This is a good feeling. It means I have been living. It means I have been seeing friends and experiencing experiences and WANDERING OFF THE PATH. I have made a resolution to wander off the path. to sleep in paces I havent slept before, to explore the midnight hours I do not use often, to meet people I havent met, to do things I havent done, to stand on earth i have not stood on before. And I have done all of that in the last few days.

Kudos to you Rhys Rodgers.
