*Oh baby baby – 15th August 1998

Email to TLJ

Hey – just dropping ya this note to cheer up yr day (if it’s bad in any way). Please accept my humble apologies at the lack of content in this note but be aware that it is sent with great love and thoughts for you.


Directions to the physio:

Walk from the station down Victoria Road. At the crossroads with Archer Street go straight across on the Chatswood Chase side. Just after the sushi bar and just before the entrance to Chatswood Chase there’s a small kind of mall. Downstairs is an Asian grocery, and up the ramp is some food and clothing shops (amongst other things). Go up the ramp and then up the escalator. the physio is around on the right. It’s only a small mall so you’ll find it easy. Love to you, angel baby. I had the best time last night and today’s tiredness is worth every second!

S: talking to you last night. Let’s do it again.
Are you going home after uni or do you have time to meet – I can take you home or to Turramurra – whatever madame would like.
Hope you have a good day today and I look forward to seeing you soon baby, sweety, gorgeous etc

T: sorry babe, was going to go straight home after uni so i can get a lift to turra with my folks. i don’t know my uncle’s address or how to get there.
anyway, what time do the wreckers start? i don’t think i’ll be doing anything tonight, but if i am, i’ll call you.

S: Wreckers should be on at nine or thereabouts. There’s only two bands. I’ll go home first I think unless we get time to meet somewhere or anything. I’ll leave home about eight I guess. Got to bed after 2am this morning and I’m starting to get a little cranky! (So come cheer me up!) If you are in the city then definetely call – call anyway. If not I’ll probably go home at a reasonable time – I have to go the Doctors first thing and still have lots to do to tidy up the flat – it’s insane!!!
Catch me if you can sweetheart. Call before you go home if you go home OK!
PS Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?

Email with TLJ

T: it seems i can’t send to your csc.com.au account – but you seem to keep sending from it, and i keep replying to it then getting “can’t deliver your mail” and other crap messages like it.
having fun?

S: Maybe you’ll have to send back to csc.com instead of hitting reply – they’ve moved the internet mail server – so I can’t use my internet mail account anymore because the messages come straight into Notes at work! Don’t know why that would affect you replying though.

T: great idea – we can meet somewhere if you want – though i’m really bored already and it’s only 2pm! didn’t go for lunch cause it’s at Bar Broadway and i’d rather be antisocial than smell of smoke! also, i’ve already got lunch and can’t afford to buy it anymore. tell me what you wanna do.

S: OK how about meeting at our place at Milsons Point? One of our servers crashed today – I’ll tell you about it later
Hope yr feeling better sweety

T: i replied to your email about the mixer but don’t think you got it. i said you should make them pay for the mixer if it’s damaged. how much is it worth?
hurry to see me cause i’ve got nothing better to do. i’m going to start typing out the minutes of today’s meeting already!!!!!!!!!
also went to see john colville about getting a written reference for my comp prac work, but he wasn’t in – will try later.
tell me what you’re doing tonight and i’ll meet ya ok?
love ya to bits too! tlj

T: how come no email from you yet?

S: You have very high expectations, young lady! I emailed you this morning. Anyway, how about you read all the old ones first!!!

T: i might be able to see you tonight if I can be bothered to stick around.

S: Don’t try TOO hard sweety!

T: anyway, had to come in early to print out the minutes of our last meeting and the weekly timesheets – now i’ll find
out about all the hassle Kim went through to get you guys to fill out your timesheets – you must have made life pretty hard for her.

S: Kim is great – a pain in the ass but great!

T: my meeting’s at 10am, but i don’t think anyone’ll be there til 11 anyway.

S: Take control – kick their butts – tell them you are leaving at the scheduled time and that everyone must be prompt to get anything achieved!

T: well, i hope you’re feeling invigorated today after a great painless night of sleep.

S: Slept in HJ’s bed – feels much more comfortable – I will check out the price of new Queen size mattresses today.

T: i’ll catch up with you later.

S: You better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T: if you want to meet

S: Yes!!!

T: what time and where?

S: Wanna meet in the city – go for coffee – maybe Crow’s Nest or something – or just here somewhere and I’ll lift you home via Shauny’s new recording studio.

T: i’ll mail you if i can’t make it.

S: Just make it.

T: got a tummy ache.

S: Shauny-san rub it better. Is it that time of celebration again (full moon)

T: see ya soon?

S: Oh yeah!

*My stuff – 7th August 1998

Email to TLJ

My stuff came this morning. Oh my God, there’s loads of it I don’t know what to do with it!!! Gotta sort out space first…..you should see it all. The movers dropped one box with a mixer in – damn – hope it still works. Still made it in to work close to on time!

How are you, angel? I miss you dearly – think about you all the time. Wish to write you huge long poems about my love for you and how much you mean to me – will probably start when I’m retired (you will still be with me then won’t you? – looking after our seventeen children?). You are the best.

From me to you – all my love.

T: …for seeing me yesterday

S: Let’s do it again.

T: and for jeff

S: Anytime – anytime – anything for you!

T: i picked him up from Revolver this morning and didn’t really have too much trouble convincing them that i was
the great Shaun Hemsley in person

S: But you are nowhere near as great as me! (Actually, you are much better..)

T: or at least convincing them that I slept with you!!!!! ha!

S: Yeah – they know me pretty well and my passion for ‘young Asian birds’!

T: but now i’ll be going to sleep with jeff.

S: Oh well – should I tell you who I’m sleeping with…

T: just saw notlih and he told me what you told me last night about seeing you.

S: Yeah, yeah – we got our stories straight so you’ll never know what we actually did…

T: actually, the guy at Revolver was having a bit of a domestic with his gal (got quite ugly – i was feeling very intrusive) – so he wasn’t really interested in who i was – he didn’t even ask! just handed it to me.

S: I think he was shy of your outstanding beauty.

T: by the way, how come you didn’t return my call!

S: Fell asleep in a meeting..

T: still taking me home tonight?

S: Absorutely

T: gotto go to my meeting now. love ya babe, tlj

I know you guys like doing this psyche stuff – 5th August 1998

T: how did you fare?
coming to see you this afternoon. wanna give me a lift home?
see ya babe, tlj

S: Absorootry! How did I fare with what?
If there’s any babes round here then it’s you sweety.
Shaunus the Menace

T: didn’t you get the questionaire thing? or are you just too busy for such trivial pursuits? tell me the results tonight.
ps – i’ve been offered a job, but it’s only thursdays 8-9pm! it’s a really shite cause i don’t come in on thursdays, it’s late, and i have to catch a train in and back when i’ll be only getting about 21 dollars. Also, we’ve been fucked over by the uni – we did a 6-credit pt subject – Accounting Info Sys, which was only recorded as a 4-credit point subject. So we graduate with 142 credit points and don’t get recognition for the extra credits and hours of work we did!!!!!!!!!! so, i’ve just had sex yet again.

S: Yeah – I’ll do that thing later. Is there much point to the job then? What happened to the one on Monday? Sorry about the sex…..Love ya!
