In the midst of trying to avoid studying big confusing topics like greenhouse science and policy and endosymbiosis I have once again found my live journal. Its been a while since i have said hello to the emotional side of my persona. I’m more of a person that likes to just not think about things that could get me down and in a way i think that’s a really good way to be. I know when I last wrote in here my mum was really ill and the thought of loosing her was scary. What is even scarier is the fact that i was more worried about changing my lifestyle to look after my little brothers. And the fact that they would not have a mum and how hard that would be on them. Such selfish thoughts ran through my head. How people would go easy on me f they just knew my mum had died do dramatically on an operating table or how I was NOT going to move home to help my dad out with my siblings. So selfish. But it has made me realise that that is a character flaw I have. I am selfish and being enlightened to this I endeavoured to work on it. And now I think its coming along nicely. I’m still not a very devoted friend. I simply go with the flow and if you’re not in my every day world I tend to... not forget... but simply not miss. Occasionally (more so lately) I remember times I have had with people and I wonder how there going but I’m too caught up in my own little world with my own little day-to-day dramas to pick up the phone or send an e-mail. So here is my letter to you saying… In a strange way… I do think of you and I do love you and I really do love the memories we have together. There’s not a bad one in the lot. I just read a little blog about internal monologues and I must say I am criminal for it. I may not be as eloquent as some others buy its there non the less.

Now on a final and less contrite note my 21st is coming up and if you could please somehow get your address to me so I can send you an invitation that would be great.

Cheers

Lots-of-love
Courtney

tonight i write to you my mother

this is for my mother she is extreemly ill and in hospital. you do not need to read it. its not written well and it probly wont make any sence. but ive just written down my thoughts for my own sainity because i want to remember how i feel right now. i want to remember the regret that is chocking me as a write. so that when my mum does come home i wont go back to my old ways i wont forget how much she means to me. even as i write this now i know its a stupid idea. that i should just remember. but this is what i want to do so if you dont like it move on and read something else.

on a grey and muggy day. i think of you holding me as a young girl , singing to me of drovers named clancy and bobby who sings the blues and i think of what ive grown up to be, a heart so cold. it makes me cry to think of how i cant hug you of how i cant say i love you to any one i love. i never, till now, realised how much i would miss you if you were gone. it makes me so sad to think of all the fights. thinking you dont know how much i thank you for what youve done for me. from the secrets youve kept and the lies youve told to the i love you i get from you nearly every day. i remember how after we fight or you told me off as a child you would alwase be the one to come and appologise and give me a hug. and i miss being able to do that. i just found the letters you wrote to clancy and jacob and they made me cry. its been so long since ive cried since i really cried.

here is a poem to say thinking of you always:

as i look at you lying so still, so swolen and bruised and still

it hurts me to think that our time could have pased.

it hurts me to know that i must move on to a new time and place

and to think how each moments gone so fast

the ups and the downs the highs and the lows

the good and the bad you know how it goes

through it all youve been there for me

and somehow i missed your hour of need

i will think of you always and love what you stood for

please come bac to me, i will not take any more

ill give you a hug and tell you i love you

and ill appologise every once in a while

so im at work in a Sunday... surprise surprise!

although i am impressed that we managed to get back from the beach thismorning in time for me to go to church, it was pretty good. the serman was all over the place but if you thought about it hard enough you could understand his point. they did communion which was nice. Josh got up to speak for communion you can tell that he is really nervous when he speaks. the church is really small and there were heaps of kids there im thinking that when i come back i should help out with setting up kids church. 

i cant wait for bec to get up here tomoro will make the house hold environment more fun

any ways im off to the yacht club tonight its their grand opening so there having a pool comp and putting on food and i think a bit of a band which will be good.

catch ya all

so life at the moment

i hate the fact that im not my usual happy self, i hate seeing pople moping around im alwase really harsh on them and think they shoud get over it. but alas it is me at this point in time. i miss my friends. i miss my mum. i miss my family. i miss my own bed and having my own room and space. i miss church. all these things i know are still there but they all seem just out of reach. 

maybe things will pick up when bec gets here.
actually im pretty sure they will. 

there are people up here that are fantastic ppl. but honestly there are none that i will miss when i go back to perth 
there are people that i would hope to see again but not fret if i didnt
i think being up here has made me value my family so much more. even if there all crazy. im sure its rubbed off on me too.

and as for the turtles...
well there doing ok, still endangered, still a 50% chance of extinction within the next 10 years, still slow,  
the tourists are still tourists, they still ask the same questions... but suprisingly i still go out with enthusiasm every night.
i really do love seeing people learning and knowing that im helping out the turtles. i think its the same part of my personality that lets me go and teach the same thing every day at work and still love doing it. 

as for work ...
the pool is great fun i love working there. its hectic but i have just now got all the paperwork undercontrol. and now im just helping out with teaching and blowing the whisles. the family that run the pool are fantastic im heading off to shurch with them this sunday so that should be good fun

cant wait to get bac to uni i swear holidays are way too long... way way to long. 
mainly i miss my mates i think 
gonna have to have a huge party when i get back well at least a little one. 

any ways sleep is calling and i dont function too well without it so im gonna go home to bed 
night to all

hey to all sorry i havent been on for a long time... 
i got sent away to remote camps for a week, and now i have started working at the pool. 
i am really starting to hate things here at the office, i hate people who treet me like im a child and sometimes i have a problem with authority, but i try keep that under control. i clash big time with the other team leaders there is 5 of us, two of which are spoiled rich kids who have not had to work a day in their lives and just get to travel around the country on mummy and daddys pay packets. and are not greatfull when someone holds their head out of a bucket all night and makes sure they dont die. the other girl is good tho Naysa, shes verry proffesional, and i like working with her. and pete is pretty cool. 
but on that note i will be happy to be home.  
even if it only is for a week. then im off to camp at point perron. then uni starts... and then im moving house. hmmm 
there is too much going on.. way too much going on. 
but i still did have some time to do a stupid little quiz.... and im happy with the results... i love poison ivy... my fave quote from her "Im a Lover, not a Fighter" 
heheheh kyzenhouser ... remember that one???? "thats why i come with my verry own winky and nimphy action figures!!!"
any way heres the results

so christmas although it was away from my family was one of the best ive had
we had a huge party on christmas eve that ended in a huge beer/water/coke-cola fight with lost of watermellon being thrown around, ultimatley every one ended up sticky drenched and drunk!
and that was only chirstmas eve.
christmas day my mum called me on the work mobile at 9am which just hapened to be in sarahs room... needless to say she was impressed. i went outside to talk to my lil brothers and my mum and managed to spy Ellie wondering home after spending the night at steves.
the pictures from that night proved to be great however Naysa deleted some of her off my camera. which i do not think is kosher.
the morning was a quiet one we were invited to a champaign brekkie but we were too sleepy to attend so we just watched movies and played UNO STACKO (thanks to kylee :) love you babe missin you like a fish misses his bike) hehe
later on i had a nanna nap and headed out to bundeegie which is the closest nice beach to town. it was so awesome there hey some of the crew had chiped in and baught a giant inflatible cabana and bouncy trampoline thingy. so we were fishin on Petes boat drinking beer or bouncing around like fools all day. when night fell we managed to scab some food from around the place considering we had put on an awesome spread the night before and My new mate Bec decided she would feed me blue lagoons and take advantage of me when i was drunk enough. the latter never came to fruition.
we headed home later that night and cos i was staying at Suzie Bedfords me and ellie had a few beers with the ppl that drove us home and went to bed.
not before ellie could make a mess and spill beer everywhere though.
and that was my christmas the only thing missing was my family and my piss up at mells on boxing day.
but spending the day on the beach was fantastic

as for New Years.
we went for a snorkle at Lakeside which is by far one of my fave snorkle sites in Australia
the day was great i have some awesome photos which will be up on my ringo Photo site soon enough. when i can work out my new camera...
which is in process as we speak:)
after we got back we had pre pub drinks at our place.
during which one of our volunteers was really upset cos his girlfrind who is not really his girlfriend was being a bitch... because she was at our house i decided to take him for a walk. we got about half way around the block and some hooligan yells out the window "id remember that ass anywhere" " Courtney what the fuck are you doing out here?" needless to say it was a mate of mine from last season when i was here. Craig and his new mrs Bec (the one who was feeding me blue lagoons at christmas) so we went bac to their house and bec made more blue lagoons and then we went to the novatell which is the new major hotell that has been built in the new marina just out of town. blocks of land in the marina are selling for $500 000 and there the cheeper ones. any way the novatell was nice. elavator music and cocktails sort of place. after that we headed over to the potshot. i took edin home cos he wanted coffee and there we found that sort of girlfriend of his talking to her self drunk off her face. he elected to stay with her. and have an early night. i went bac to the pub where i unfortunatly ended up mothering more people. tristan was nipple crippleing girls and i had to settle him down a bit cos he would have got in a fight if he picked the wrong girl. he hurt naysa and Ruth. Howard , ruths partner was not too impressed. although Naysa and Sarah were Biting Tristan and pete. this seems to be a common event when they are drunk Naysa and Sarah bite everyone. they were biting on christmas eve as well. i think theyve seen too many vampire movies.
well sarah started throwing up so i managed to get her out side and sent her home with Cath. i went back in but it seemed the night was coming to an end untill Craig (the guy from the car) desided there was to be a follow on party at his house. i was on my way to get drinks and head over when pete and tristan bailed on me and me not wanting to walk there alone went to bed and continued looking after sarah all night which entailed emptying out her bucket untill 9 am.

so it was a good festive season as far as they go.

ohhh i for got to add when i got home with Edin for coffee my mum rang and i got to talk to my dad and my lil bro (jacob) for a while he was trying to convince me that he had won 33 million dollars and that they had been throwing a huge party and president George Bush was there and they were moving house but there was not enough money for me to come too. then he ran off to watch the fireworks with Mr bush in the back yeard. 

i have managed to put some of my photos up in an album named exmouth 06/07 you can see them if you go to www.ringo.com and search for caught_au@hotmail.com it will come up with all my albums feel free to have a look-see dont pinch em tho. :) ill be adding more to the exmouth album over the next month or so ill let yous know when i put more up there

so too all ...

cheers for the year that has passed, for the good times and the trying ones, for the laughs and the sholders to cry on, for the holidays and the days spent at home watching movies, for the classes skipped and the lecturers annoyed. every day has been important like pages to book.

love you all cant wait for the good times that follow.
your one and only

hey ya all

so christmas is coming. im alwase in two minds about christmas. i never know wether to get really excited and buy heaps of presents and enjoy the family pretending like nothing is wrong. or wether its all really a load of comercial consumeristic bull shit. i mean even santa is a crok. im sure you all know the cokecola story. and most of the time i dont see happy kids i see kids disapointed cos they got night woriors not magna woriors. i see parents with stress levels that are far too high to be healthy as they run around the shop thinking magna or night, magna or night, everyone is under pressure to work harder so they can buy more stuff. but then christmas day in the pool with my cousins. drinking wine and eating sea food. those are the days i love with my family. im not big on buying presents id rather a hug any day, some good music a beer and some water on a nice hot day in the form of a water fight or a pool.

most of all i think this year im gonna miss my lil bros and sis waking up and all heading into mums bed on christmas morning and my friends on boxing day drinkng cocktails and getting trashed :P best way to spend a hot summers day hmmmmmmmm

well thanks to my uni mates that i have spent lots of long fun nights i think i have become nocternal. its great cos i work from 5.30 in the morning to 9.30 and then from 4 in the after noon to 11 at night. then we stay up all night drinking and watching movies and sleep during the day watching the cricket. we finally have a roster tho so it looks like we will be 2 days on and 2 days off yayayayayay.
also i will be going to a remote camp in Bungalup in between christmas and new years which will be awesome its near a butiful place called yardie creek. cant wait.

ahh i have to go vollys are waiting

i shall continue at a later date

huggs to all

hey to all
just writing again to say hi and let you know whats been hapenin

its so hectic here my two supervisors are trying to do eachothers jobs so there both flat out and unproductive. but still both awesome. Cath use to work at a radio out post in antartica and now shes in exmouth in 42 degree heat yay :P. Clair is your typical awsome surf bum from down south. she is pretty awesome
we have jug laws
pretty much whenever you fuck up you owe the teamleaders (being me clair, tristan, naysa and sarah) a jug of beer at the next sunday social

every sunday we all get together somewhere hence sunday social

laws that if broken incur a jug fee are things like
leaving you field guide in the bus
not turining radios off at the end of your run
having a dirty room
leaving your keys at home and having to borrow someone elses (this is one of which i am constantly getting penalised)

on sunday night we went out turtle scouting and actually got to see a turtle go through the whole nesting process. laying and everything it was pretty fantastic. we also found some brtiiish tourists on the beach who had never seen a turtle before and so we showed them correct protocall and they got to see the laying as well.

for the past week and a half i have been starting intermitantly at 5.30 or 6 am and finishing at 11pm so flat out but having an awesome time

monitoring is fun fun fun

any ways must be off
catch yas later

stay cool and keep clean

so the journey up here was interesting
dad told me to go north mum said grt northan highway
well that road ppl does not go straight north
we ended up in dalwalanu
thats a fairway out of the way
any way we ended up finding a nice survice station man who sold us a map and told us a shortcut through yuna to kalbarri where we stoped for a swim
then we made it all the way to billabong
now thats where the trouble started my car would not start after i put petrol in it.
i left it to cool and checked the oil and there was none in it so that got filled
being the dumb blonde that i am i opened the radiator to check the water and iit spurted out everywhere lol i thought i had left it long enough it was cool enough to touch. :) tricks for young players i guess.
i know my car better than ever b4 i know what noises it makes when it needs certian stuff hehehe it has so much character.... i love it
billabong is cursed i swear its just a little road house in the middle of no where

ahghh i have to go i will finishg this later
