General Thoughts on ALL my closest Insane Friends:

I love Rach. I think she's great. I admire her and respect her - she's my role model. Basically everything in our life is similar and I wouldn't be surprised to see resurfacing similarities throughout the rest of our life. Perhaps the greatest little interesting fact is that we're related. My uncle's sister-in-law's father's brother married Rachael's mum's cousin's brother-in-law's sister (now this isn't entirely accurate, but we ARE related in a similar - that word again - fashion). The very fact that Rachael is alive, allows me to feel secure, because if I call, "Rach?" she answers, "Here, buddy."

Terri is something special in my life. The very sight of her, relieves me from anything that is stressful. Often she is the cause of stress (only in Drama, but that's my fault anyway, I know, Terri) but the conversations, and probably more succinctly put, moments with her have bred some great revelations for me in terms of life and where I am in terms of it. I grew up with Terri, we went to the same Primary School - but we didn't discover each other until about two years ago, but she's brought me some amazing moments during that time that I'll cherish forever. What we find very amusing is that everyone thinks we're a couple! It's funny. Here you go, Terri: a present.

Tiffany is sweet, she's absolutely gorgeous. My past five years with Tiff has been an amazing rollar-coaster ride which has ducked, weaved, dived, soared and rattled. But we've had fun. I've had some excellent experiences with Tiffany (she was my first girlfriend). She has an aura about her of perfection, like a dove waiting to fly, and when she gets the chance, she's going to soar, plunging straight through the clouds, heading further, further and further to another place - a place only Tiff and I know about. Will you be there, Tiff? I'll see you there.

Supriya is a breath of fresh air for me. She came along right when I needed her, and she doesn't realise how much she's changed me as a person. She's my business partner, but my life partner too. I totally misunderstand her and she gets cross at me, and I apologise - now I hope Soups and I make some f**king terrific films in our life together - from the ocean to the streets. She is immensely passionate and strong, a person with amazing will and resolve. She's amazing, and beautiful - one of the most striking visions I've seen ever.

Daniel is a funny one. God he's a funny one. I respect him so much because he is so smart - he's got such a deeper level of understanding - and he thinks so much that sometimes I think it'll kill him. I respect him because he does what he wants to when he wants to and why, well, just because he wants to. I've learnt so much from him in regards to self-awareness and appreciating the bigger pictures in life. I respect you, Dan. Sure Dan. Whatever man. Whatever. What's that Bohanism hanging out of your nose? Dan responds.

Tom is lost to me, often. He is right up there in terms of how much he taught me - I learnt things from him every day - but now, I don't anymore, because I hardly see him. Tom, I miss you buddy. Tom is very much like Daniel in how he does what he wants when he wants, and I respect Tom because he taught me how to just "be." Tom and I grew our hair long together, and we've been arguing about politics since year seven. Thank you Tom for arguing with me, because if you hadn't argued with me, if you hadn't asserted what you believe, you wouldn't have taught me how to scrutinise and decide, and I might be a Pauline Hanson supporter instead.

Adam grounds me. He thinks I don't appreciate him, but I do, because he stabalises me and I come back down around him, most of the time. I fly about, flitting here and there, but Adam yells out, "Hey, idiot, get back down," and I look down, see Adam, laugh periodically, then join him on the ground. Adam is a people's person - he knows how to relate to people, how to deal with people and how to persuade people. I wish I had his confidence.

Jaclyn is fresh air. She is the funniest person I know - I laugh more with Jackie than with anyone else. She and I seem to click correctly with our humour, creating crazy scenarios that build and build in intensity - man, she is just awesome.


Sam is a classic - and I'm not praising her because I work for her Mum. She IS a classic. She is so honest, and true to herself. I'm so glad she came to our school and didn't stay in ugly Kelso Grammar.

Katie is great. I don't get much time with her - but she is the Katie I loved all along when I do. Katie and I manage to dance every day, doing some kind of stupid jig. We did it before every exam in our Trials, and it relaxed us. We connect and are funny, bitchy and totally outrageous, uncalled for and unjustified to one another.

Peta has totally lost it. She's my twin - she's awsome, misunderstood and highly intelligent. I love her.

Anthea is earthy and amazing. She lives in the mountains and has developed a deeply-rooted fixation with nature and the consciousness of life. She's a hippy - totally in the wrong era, but we're glad she is.

Kylie is everything every body thinks she is - but she doesn't apologise. And that is a trait which I would like to possess - total respect for who she is. She is flamboyant and alive, aware and rich in personality, stylish and meticulously incomprehendible. She's great. She's my night life.

Andrew has become a big part of my life since I met him in January this year. I'm convinced he is psychotic, and mentally disturbed (and he'd love me to be saying this) but, I disregard how utterly insane he is, to attribute to him just how goddam FUNNY he is! He means alot to me, and I care about him, I worry about him, and I just want the best for him. Take care, Andy. The city is a scary place with scary people in it - just be careful, dammit! Got your mobile?

Mike is definately included in this list - he's my most recent and most excellent good friend that I've met. Unfortunately, he lives in Canada - but the irony is that I spend more time with him than with any other person. Every night, for two hours (that's one twelfth of my day) I potter around the internet with him, going here and going there and commenting as we go. He's coming out to The Land of Kangaroos and Koalas in July next year - so you all better be most welcoming to him.



So, that's them. Those are the most important people in my life at the moment. I love them all, individually and collectively, and I want to personally thank each and every one of them for everything:

A drink? On me. Okay, okay. On you. Tee hee hee.
