Hello again -

Well, to keep you informed of current dates and movements, I shall unveil my latest life.
I have Quit Esteem. Mother is thrilled, now she has no competition. *sigh* sometimes I wonder about that power and money hungry woman.
I tried reading the Bible yesterday. You'd think, that being a seasoned christian, I would have been able to read for an hour WITHOUT throwing the darned thing across the room. Sadly, it is not so. When Dave came home, I ranted to him about how Jesus could give NO PROPER ANSWER and that he never seemed to be HAPPY, or LAUGHING, or anything. I was reading through Luke, somewhere close, if not after, chapter 8. Someone asks a perfectly decent question (I think it was something to do with David saying Lord will welcome Lord to sit by his right side, and someone says why call him Lord?) and Jesus begins yet ANOTHER rant about how the teachers of that day were devious, power hungry men. Thats not much of an answer. Hubby tried patiently to explain that it was just the way people talked in those days. Well, I say, they didn't have a very extensive intelligence or use of vocabulary! I shouldn't degrade, but I just wish that SOMEONE could sit down with me and EXPLAIN why Jesus never gives a straight answer. Like with the question, "Was that directed to us or to everyone?". Pretty straightforward question. But Jesus twists the answer up into some ridiculously long, complicated thing to which everyone ends up feeling guilty and stupid.

Call me a hopeless case, if you will. I don't think even a minister would be able to answer. I mean, whats the point of asking questions in Heaven when, from previous experience, you know you're not going to get a straightforward, "yes or no" answer?

By the way, I am a strong christian. I'm no athiest trying her wings.

Oh, yes. Im sorry, I was explaining events of current. Well, today I guess I have to do cooking for the Church fete. Tuesday I helped in a church working bee. Saturday will be the Church Fete itself, to which i'm selling jewellery (all proceeds to church). Friday week I have an Esteem party on. Yes, I intend to hold an Esteem party, even after failing to be a Rep. My sister is coming over tomorrow night (and goodness help me, I have to feed her...) to help with the Fete on saturday. Though I wonder if she's going to try and cajole me to drop her at her boyfriends house for a time. I hope not.
I just finished Garth Nix's "Sabriel". It is a good book, but I'm still pining for my Sunshine book, on order from the bookstore.

I have also been playing Oblivion! No Duh, look at what music i'm listening to.  if you go into C:/ then Program Files, Then Bethesda, then Oblivion, then... well... its somewhere there..... oh I dont know, Dave got me the music files from it, and I have this little obsession with Atmosphere 6. I never listen to any of the Cave or Battle ones (3 guesses as to why), just the atmosphere ones, and some town ones. Yesterday i got really irritated because, on the course of doing the Dark Brotherhood quests, I had to kill a necromancer turning lich in a cave filled wit undead. It was pouring down with rain and storming on the way, and when I got there... Just before I entered the cave, an assassin goblin attacked me, giving me a permanent health drain (I didn't have a dispel, and besides, I've found it never works for me), so I was constantly healing myself. I entered the cave to try to do this quest and was met with the eerie shrieking of one of those guardian ghosts (you know, the ones that, the moment you turn a corner, FLY towards you and go right through you. If you haven't met one, consider yourself lucky.). Well, I'm petrified of them (I always keep my character in first person view, so I get the full blast of it, on my whopper of a 22" screen) so I ran outside to try to fast travel to Bravil, the only town close to me - well, not really close. its miles away - but I couldn't fast travel while taking health damage. By the time I got to Bravil, i was not a happy chappy. It was about then that i quit out of the game and picked up the Bible....

Well, we all believe life as we know it is the center of the universe. Thats beside the point.

It is currently 11am, and I am quite bored...  So I thought i'd do a LJ post.

This morning, We woke up at 5:30. Yes, We being my husband and I. This time, instead of going back to sleep and waking up at 11, I got up, and trotted (almost literally) down to the shops (15 min walk, not too far). The day before yesterday I had some fliers delivered to my door for the Church Fete, to which I am involved - and I was required to deliver them to shops for their windowfronts.  I got up there half an hour early - so I ended up hanging around, waiting, waiting..... Finally got the deed done.. and came home to watch a couple of episodes of Jeeves & Wooster. Seriously, if you haven't watched that show, go do so now. If you like old english comedies and the 1920's, that is. starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, It is based on the PG. Wodehouse books (of which are longer in print. My mother has the FULL SET - and refuses to lend them to me.) and are based around a gentleman and his manservant. From my description, it sounds boring. But I assure you, its not.
So now I sit before you, O Journal, Spilling the boring aspects of my life. Like, how I'm a coward and cant ring family and friends to ask them to host a party. I guess I just dont want to impose too much on them. The fight with my mother left a huge hole in my confidence and now I'm wondering if I'm "Esteem" material. Maybe I am; in which case, God, can I have a sign? anything? Some help, maybe? like, showing me a WILLING friend who WANTS to host a party? *rubs her eyes tiredly* I just don't know. Maybe I leaped at the chance because I thought it would be the only kind of employment (aside from a fast food resteraunt) I would be able to get.

If you're in Victoria, and want a party, and no more than 1 and a half hours from Geelong, post here. Fat chance anyone will see it, though.

Well, this LJ thing is all very well; but none of this is going in a diary so I can look back on it in later years.

Well, here we are, 3 days from my first entry. One thing to expect from me: Spontaniety.  I will never be the same twice.

I woke up at 11am today. Not the best time to wake up, i'll be bouncing around till midnight now. Maybe not; I have a whopper of a headache.

Well, I have 2 out of 6 parties booked for Esteem. I need a further 4 more to make it a success. Technically, I should be ringing people now to ask them, but one of my bad traits is that i'm a coward.

Since my life is so rivetting, and im suurprised there isnt so much in this blog to make you glued to the screen (sarcasm), then i think I shall leave it at that for today.

Good Afternoon everyone!
Well, as you may or may not be able to see, this is my first entry. First off, i would like to apologise for any misspelled words or repeat characters - my keyboard is built for gaming, not typing.  Also, in Australia, we DO use a "U" in words like "Colour". It is no mistake.

I would like to introduce myself - and shall do so, right now - but please bear with me while doing this, because I have just cut contact with my mother, and am currently in quite a whingy mood.

Name: Stephanie Munroe.
Age: 18.
Country/City of residence: i shall cut it down to Victoria, Australia.
Appearance - not that it matters: Short. I am 5ft 2". and quite wide (which in literal terms means pudgy). Dyed Blonde hair (I'm naturally an indescribable colour), bright blue eyes (hey, to some that may be a blessing - to me its a curse. how would YOU feel if everyone said your stare was unnerving?), and, well... no fashion sense. I spose i might have, but the money to apply thought to appearance just doesn't exist.
Children: YES! 2 babies! one is 2 and a half, the other is just on 2. How, you may ask, is this possible? My babies are cats. Commonly referred to as Monsters. Dumfries is the older one, and Ming is the younger one. Dum, believe it or not, is paternal towards Ming, thus leading us to believe that Dum is Ming's father. Ming is currently asleep on my feet.
Favourite Book/Author: "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley. Best novel I've read in ages. Currently on order from the bookstore :) So I guess you could say my favourite author is Robin McKinley.  Though Cecelia Dart-Thornton is is a close second, and Tamora Pierce is definitely a favourite.
Favourite music: It varies.

About a month ago (roughly) I married the most wonderful guy a girl could ask for. For future reference, his name is David. He's 26, his occupation is a statisician, 8th grade piano, chess competition winner, 2nd degree black belt...... Well, needless to say, he is wonderful :)

And thats it bout me, really. Dum would like to give you his 2 cents worth, but cat typing often isn't legible. He's giving me black looks.

Reason for creating a livejournal account: Because ranting in various blogs around the internet just isn't enough. I need to rant in THE blog site of them all! Somewhere where I am one among the millions! Where I will never be noticed, so I can rant away!

As for the actual entry, I'll keep it short and sweet. There is washing to be done, dishes to be cleaned, tea to be cooked (tea is aussie for dinner), floor to be swept.... And I think only the dishes and cooking will be done within the next decade. Nevertheless, I still have a timeline to work by, and I have exactly 30 mins to type out the rest of the entry, cook tea, then start the dishes. Then its church singing practice.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I had a spat with my mother. Long story cut short, we fought over everything. Almost. Nevermind the fact that i've moved out of home, nevermind the fact i'm married, oh no, not with mother. She screamed. She banged her fists. She called me selfish, she called me a user, she behaved very much like she was 5. Maybe when I have the energy and time (fighting with mum takes alot out of one), I shall give you the details. Maybe not.

Until then, Goodbye and Goodnight.
