Alex Houghton Loves MEN!!

Now that i have your, or his attention i have to tell a little story about the great $50 bill you see in the picture above, and something that happened last night at my house with 6 of the little yellow monsters.

Firstly i need to explain who is involved;

Sarah my sister, her friend Sarah.P (that she has known since year 2 but they have a weird rocky relationship), Renee (a new friend on the scene), me (what more do i need to say?) , and Sarah.P's mum.

My sister Sarah, Renee and Sarah.P went out to the local pub/club today for lunch, and ended up playing some poker machines where sarah.P won $300. Now, the three of them came back to my house and the Sarah.P was flashing around her money while she was on the phone and insists that she put it back in her purse. When she went to leave she says that she noticed that her purse was open on top of her handbag, and upon opening it, the money was no longer there. So she went home and then sarah messaged me on my phone as i drove home from uni telling me to go meet her at the renee's house who just lives down the street. I am hoping that this isnt a big confusing story by the way! So i arrive and sarah tells me the whole story and now Sarah.P's mother and sarah.P want to come and search the house for the money and that they are on their way to get the house key so they can open up the house, and straight away, i said, 'no chance, not happening, no one will enter my house', cause its just illegal firstly, but also wrong and an invasion of my privacy. So ofcourse sarah goes on saying, "but it looks she i have something to hide if i dont let them in, and why cant we just let them?" and all that, and i couldnt believe that at first, so basically i said, 'if anyone comes near my house, the police station which is only 300m from my house will get a quick little phone call explaining the situation.' So Sarah.P and her mother came to the front door of the house where the mother explained the situation to me a bit clearer, and we agreed that if her handbag was on the counter in the kitchen, that the mother and i could look for it where the bag was and never moved from, on the bench, floor, under the fridge.etc, to see if the money had fallen out of the bag. After we couldnt find it in the kitchen, we called Renee and my sister inside and i was there as a third party as Sarah.P's mum talked to them asking that if anyone had the money to give it to me so that i could give it to her, or leave it in the kitchen and no more questions would be asked of it. She then went outside, and nothing happened, so then she talked to the police who said that nothing could be done about it, so it looks like nothing more will be done.

So that was the excitement of my monday!

I have been meaning to come on for a long time, but time does not permit, but ill be back within a few days to post a HUGE update about a variety of things along the lines of friends, sister, life, uni, and the possibility of me getting a dog! So hey for now, and toodles till later.

ATTENTION: READ ME READ ME!!

Wow has it been a while or what! I tend to be one of those people who doesnt neglect to store memories on xanga or in other ways, but rather have a a whole lot of them, and then every once in a while i do some mass entries of pictures, stories, events. etc.

Firstly i would like to share a picture or two of a few people that are pretty important in my life. I have had many friends on many continents, and maybe some of the people reading this have befriended me or been befriended by me and if so, i let you know now that you have played a vital role in my life, especially the likes of the aussies from taiwan, the rugby team fellas, crazy canadians and some whacky americans. So now that i have been back home in Australia for a year and a half, i look back on those memories and remember great times and great friends, and sometimes i am lucky enough to get a phone call from some of you, even an email, or in the case of Jen Pohland, an awesome parcel or two! Sadly, inevitable as it is, we do lose contact with some friends, but we never forget the friendships that we did have, and we hope to ultimately re-kindle it one day, but the friends that we are still in contact with play a great part in our lives.

As we go about making friends all around the world, i have made plenty of new and interesting friends here in australia that i wish to introduce anyone who is willing to listen, these people are the corner stones of my life. I live with my sister sarah for any of you that remember her from TAS, she is still just as crazy! Here is a picture of her with two other important ladies in my life.

*Here is my sister Sarah on the right, my girlfriend Theresa in the middle and her best friend and one of my good friend Narelle on the left.*

So i have been going out with my girlfriend for about a year a and a half now, about the same time that i have been back in Australia, and this is after i had known her for 7 years, since she and her family arrived from South Africa in 1997! Its been 7 years, and she still talks with a crazy accent like her family, but its so cute that i just let it slide....usually.

I have known Narelle for about the 4 years now as she has been best friends with Theresa for a long time, so much so, that they are practically inseparable. They both went to the same high school, do the exact same nursing course at the exact same university and are raising the same baby together.....well....not really about the baby.

Alight, well just to show you a few more pics of the three of them and me too, ill put these few up aswell!

*This is my darling sister and myself*

*Theresa And Ian The Great!*

*Narelle and Myself*

Alright, so the introduction to the very very important ladies in my life is complete, now on to the top blokes and champions who i consider some of the best mates ive ever had.

Firstly some background knowledge perhaps?

Well as many people know, i lived in Taiwan for about two and a half years in the most influential years of my youth, from the age of 17 - 19, and these years shaped me to who i am today. Within these years i had some particularly good friends , some of which i have photos of and some of which i dont. I will now give you a quick run down of who they were if i can find a picture for them. For some of you, this will simply be a history lesson (oh great...) as you will recognise these people as yourself or friends/ people you recognise.

*So this was taken in the Canadian mountains, and is a picture of me and three mates from Taiwan. There is Gabe on the left, Yuri in the middle, and his then girlfriend Jenn On the right*

Supposedly lots of people didnt get along with Jenn, but i did just fine and love her just the same, so thats the way it is.

*And here is a picture of Yuri and I obviusly looking at something stunning, a naked chick?*

As it were, i had to come back to Australia eventually, so in February of 2004, i left Taiwan to reenter into Australian life, attempt to re-kindle relationships, and start a life on my own. It was tough, and some of the hardest times in my life came from the first 10 months that i was here. On top of the fact that i was doing everything on my own, my best mate when i had left Australia in 2001 was pussy whipped and a total dickhead to myself and all the friends we once shared. So over the months our friendship broke down, and then when he did break up with his g/f, he then proceeded to try and regain the friendship and trust of the people he had pushed away and ignored, especially mine, and i became his friend once more, but nothing like it was. Funnily enough, he met another girl eventually and chased her down to Melbourne where he is currently resides, and hes been for the duration of their relationship, 6 months, but he has now told me within the last few days, that he intends to return to Sydney, because the relationship is about to fall apart. So now, as before, he will attempt to befriend everyone again, for the second time, but this time it will be different.

*The relevance of this photo....to put the person in perspective that im talking about, my old best mate, he is the one on the very left of the photo.*

Alright, so now you know what he looks like, so future reference, atleast you have an image.

Oh, rest time, this is going to be a very long story i just realised, as i also have to tell you all about what has happened recently as it has been my birthday, an important one at that, and an interesting one.

For now, too da loo, uni work calls, but ill be back, dont worry about that, ill be back

Good Morning to all!

The worst day of the week is always the fucking monday, a horrible day which marks the end of you boozing weekend since the thursday night before, a day tht should be removed from the calenders, but if this happened, then everybody would hate tuesdays.

Mondays for me are interesting enough, i wake up at 5:45, eat breakfast, shower, and do all those morning things, then i head up to the bus stop to catch a bus, then a train, then walk to uni. Its about a 1hr and 45min trip, and quite frankly, its bullshit, but this is all about to change, due to the simple fact that i have some money, and im going to buy a car, because on the 3rd of may 2005, i am going for my Red Provisional licence. In Australia you have to go through a whole stream of licences before you get your full licence, a task that takes 3 years of preparation, in the sense that you first need your Learners Liecence (6months), Red Provisional Licence (2 Years), and then your Green Provisional Licence for 1 year before you can get your full licence.

So i am going to get it soon enough, and then im going to buy either of these two cars.

Here is the Holden Astra:

And then the other model i am looking at buying is the Holden Vectra:

So there you go, my prospects.

Well at the moment i am sitting at uni chatting away to my ex-girlfriend which i dont get to talk to that often, but she is one of those people in my life that i can just talk to forever and ever, cause its a situation where we can spill our guts out to each other, and to find a friend like this is something very rare and worth keeping, infact i can only think of a few of my friends who i can do that with, namely Theresa (my girlfriend), Cali, my sister, Ingrid, Alex Houghton, and Timbo jimbo Bywater.

Yawn....stretch.....while all of us are either doing uni work, working, at school or some other form of thought provoking labour, we should spare a minute to just think about my sister, yes my sister, Sarah Pomeroy, who at this moment is in Taiwan with my mum and dad, kicking it back on a holiday for 2 weeks, ahh....lucky lucky, but too make up for it, i know i shall be showered in gifts, right sarah!? :D

On one of my many adventures out this weekend, i injured myself quite well. It was close to 1 am, and i had been at a party all night where the booze was supplied, when my mates and I decided to go for a little stroll, little did i know that it would end in disaster. We have something in Sydney called the council clean up, and if you dont know what it is already, its basically when people throw out there big pieces of rubbish, like couches, charis.etc.etc. So we were roaming the streets, went up a hill and i found an office chair, with wheels! So i jumped on it and in my drunken state, rode it down the hill, until the wheels fell off and i hit the gravel at speed and eventually rolled onto my back. I ended up skinning both hand quite nicely so that blood was going everywhere, and not to mention my elbows and knees, so it was painful, but funny now.

Well thats if for now, have a good monday everyone!
