Serenade – 25th September 1998
Email with TLJ:
T: well, it’s a rainy day, so i don’t feel like doing much.
S: Hang on – and if it’s a sunny day?!!
T: wrote the sdd group an email – just waiting for all the abusive responses……
S: You’ll only get abusive responses if yr email was abusive (or your team members are pricks)
T: sue is going to the MSO ball tonight with DI!!!!!! so i’ve got nothing to do –
well, besides seeing you…….
S: Well, talk about feeling second rate! Can’t you go to this thing too – if you want to?
T: it’s a pity you can’t lie about your salary like Sandie does. (i think she said she was earning 80,000 when she was really earning 50,000! dad sent in my Taiwan application form (i think) today.
S: I hope it gets lost in the mail and you can come stay at my place for a month!
T: and i’ve got some compaq gossip. remind me to tell you my unity party story. well, i’ll tell you now. rob (jackie’s boy – friend, not son) knows jason lee (the head guy in the unity party) from law school. and the unity party is having its launch tonight, so mum thought sandie should go to the launch ($50 a head) to meet “career people” – well, they’re all lawyers just about. but sandie has opted for a night out with her snowboarder/compaq friends and jackie – and they’re going to be taking lots of illicit drugs i imagine (sandie’s looking forward to getting her hands on “ekkies” and a
man i suspect). she’s been in lots of trouble with all her compaq workmates about gossiping – it’s so funny, pathetic really.
S: Because she gossips or is she the one they are all gossipping about.? She’d better be careful – people are cruel.
T: anyway, have a great day. see you tonight?
S: You better!
T: i know you might be busy with the party though, and you’ll have to get an early night.
S: Won’t be busy with it tonight but will need to get to bed probably before 3am
T: actually, so do i since i have a violin lesson tomorrow.
S: Will you serenade me one day?
*All right – 1st September 1998
Email with TLJ
S: Hey sweety I’m missing you and wanna make things good with you. Wanna know you’re all right with everything. Want you to know that I think you’re great, happy and full of life. (We all have our bad days – me particularly)
Love to you
T: you know what? whatever.
No only kidding – just knew that would piss you off.
S: Hang on – I’ve put my sense of humour down here somewhere….
T: Planning on going shopping with sue, di, and tu in about 1/2 an hour.
S: Window shopping I hope. Or a present for me of course.
T: josh asked if that guy on friday night was anything special,
S: Tell me the truth – is he?
T: and made a reference to Jack (whom he has heard a bit about from nat) – i think I said something bitchy though to cover up. anyway, he’s moving out with jay and joe to Newtown tomorrow. sue, di and tu asked if i wanted to go white water rafting in october – i’ll think about it, though it’s 90 dollars + you have to find transport (can get a lift with sue and di, or you wanna drop me? i think it’s at Shoalhaven or something).
S: You know I can drop you – can I come too – or is that a girl thing too (or a uni thing). I think I’d like to be in a dingy with three beautiful teenage girls (hang on I’m just going to the toilet).
T: Shaun also offered to pay for josh’s skydiving ticket!
S: OK – will he pay for me too? (and I’ll promise to be his friend)
T: no, things are good with me, i only wanted to spend the night together and really have fun – no worries or anything.
S: We’ll have a long hot bath – I’ll massage you and you can fall asleep in my arms.
T: di can’t make tomorrow girlie thing, so i may be able to see you.
S: Oh, but I’m seeing Di…oops! No no that would be cool. I look forward to it.
T: As well, i may try dropping around to marty’s party, or maybe even newtown to see triple J’s (get it) new house.
S: I can always drop you there too sweety.
T: Sunday’s out though, cause i may be getting together with di to work on IS & OD. and monday night, we may be having our girlie night (if mum lets me).
S: Oh well. If you can you can if you can’t you can’t – no sweat. You know I’ll be waiting for you.
T: anyway, what are your plans?
S: I might try and get a swim in this weekend actually – otherwise more work on the equipment and some noise plus comic reading and taking it easy.
T: love tlj
ps – i’m wearing his pants for her………….
S: Can I wear your pants…
Hope you get this – our mail server is fucked today

we were talking instead and boy have i got some juicy goss to tell you! the best!
catch ya babe
Don’t wait or hesitate, take care, beware, Wrong! – 27th June 1994
You want gossip! Here’s what’s on my mind right now. Write it down, clear it out, forget about it – here’s the rub.
Spoke to Rich from Eastleigh a couple of days ago and had a cool chat, Rich being more forward than usual and telling me what he’d been up to. Anyways he mentioned Fatty had been in touch to try and speak to Rob. Rob not being there, Rich had a quick chat with Fatty saying he should get in touch with me, or that maybe I should get in touch with him. According to Rich, Fatty didn’t say anything to that and when Rich mentioned about going up to some of the gigs in Southampton, Fatty replied ‘maybe after September’. Rich was rather taken aback by this apparently and we can only assume that he’s waiting for me to leave this country before taking up again with our mutual friends.
When Rich told me this I just said ‘Oh well, no good to harbour hatred’ and shrugged it off, but afterwards it really got me down. It’s not nice knowing someone out there hates you to the extent of wanting to see you go away completely. It’s upsetting and I’m not afraid to admit it. I’m very sensitive to these things (as you may have worked out by now anyway). It also makes me angry because I have not done anything wrong and my hater (Fatty) can’t even come and talk to me about it.
Okay, I’m saddened because this person can’t deal with their problem, can’t handle their emotions and can’t be honest with me about it. Remember, last time I spoke to Fatty, we left on amicable terms and he’d be in touch (also remember I don’t know his new address or phone number – Yes, I could get both if I really wanted to!) And now the turnaround – his problem is not my problem.
If I met him now I would talk to him like nothing has happened (in fact nothing has happened has it!?) and it really is a shame for him that he hasn’t been to see me in the last six months and a shame he probably won’t see me again after September. For me, however, it is not a shame. I feel like I’ve cut out a poisonous sore, an infection. Close the door on a chapter of my past, one which turned sour, especially at a critical time for me emotionally, with Steve passing away.
I am stronger. My character will carry me through this and I can only hope one day Fatty can see how foolish and stubborn he has been. Good luck old friend, remember, happiness is only just around the corner. So there it is. Now I can forget about it. Will write you some more later.
I feel great, let’s celebrate
It’s a sunny day, let’s dance and play
Never fear, love is here

Gossip – 24th June 1986
Hear your next-door neighbour
Shouting down the road
All the latest gossip
Makes me wanna explode
I wouldn’t mind so much
But the gossip’s about someone I know
And it’s all just not true
But still goes on the flow
Of gossip
1994ever
