baldwin v. basinger

This is very interesting to me, everyone heard or heard about the recent phone call that Alec Bladwin left for this daughter Ireland and everyone had an opinion. When I heard it I was like “dude….” but I also watched his response on The View and I think he really does raise some valid points about it all and parental alienation. I do feel badly for him and hid daughter. I’d like to point out tho I in no way think that message was exceptable to leave, esp. calling your daughter a “pig”. It makes me so very glad Al and I [Curtis's dad] are on very good terms and we never had to go through anything like this. I’d love to hear all your thoughts it all if you watch Alec’s response. View Part 1 and Part 2.

I just wanted to make a quick entry - I’ve started adding some of my Marilyn photos to the gallery, I was surfing at MarilynMonroe.Ca and looking at Melinda’s collection of costume tests and saw I had some she didn’t, so I wanted to add them for all to see. Ive added photos from There Is No Business Like Show Business, Let’s Make Love, River Of No Return and Niagara — all films I haven’t seen yet, however I’m about to put on River Of No Return [I gotta do some more packing too so I figure I'll put on a distraction!], I’ll put more up when time permits!



packing boxes

Posted on April 26th, 2007 in eBay, personal, wish list by April

Its so hard to find boxes for packing. Every time I try a supermarket they say come back at another time. I finally got some this afternoon tho - started packing. My Marilyn books are now all packed up and labeled “HEAVY” - gotta be careful with them tho! I did leave one out - the one I have by my computer, “The Unbridged Marilyn, Her Life From A-Z“, the best and easiest reference book I’ve found on Marilyn. I’m lucky enought to have 2 copies [soft cover and hard back]. On the topic of Marilyn books, I’ve found a copy of Clark Kidders “UnCovers” on eBay which I’m going to bid on. I have the other two Marilyn covers books he’s dont [Cover To Cover and Cover To Cover Second Edition] so this would be a great addition to the collection! AND on the topic of eBay, I had another good week with my auctions, my two biggest sales were Mickey Rourke for $52.66 USD and Vincent D’Onofrio for $87 USD.

Anyone want to buy me a present? *bats eye lids!*
If I didn’t need all my money for moving I would so buy it! Its my biggest Marilyn want!

Peter and I are on speaking terms and I’m hoping we can remain friends. I’m feeling better about leaving. I’m glad he’s doing ok. Thing’s seem brighter today so I’m in a better mood. He did ask me to go one more “round” before I go home - and really I would love to because he’s the BEST I’ve ever had, but i told him I couldn’t, it would hurt too much and makes things too hard. I’m going to be strong! I am def. going to miss it tho!

light at the end?

I just got of the phone with Peter…. we had a really nice long talk. I’m hoping that we can remain “friends” and he not hate me. He says he understands why I have to go. He asked me to dinner too before I go. As friends. It’s made me feel a lot better to know that he’s slowly dealing with it and not so angry anymore. I don’t want him to be sad. He said he didn’t know if he wanted to get married to me/have kids anymore. He said I pressured him by being clucky and talking about it too much. I understand his point, but its what I want [and what I originally thought he did too].

It’s late here so only a short entry, I listed like 84 eBay auctions today - view them here. I have a bunch ending tomorrow so I hope I make a few hundred. I think its up to about $270 AUD. Good day for me with that!

guilty

Posted on April 24th, 2007 in eBay, personal, wish list by April

Word of the day. Use it in a sentence. I feel guilty.

Peter rang me today to tell me I broke two hearts [his and his daughters] . He also sent me a text telling me what she has been saying to him. I feel awful. I don’t want it. Guilt I mean, but I guess it’s the price I pay for choosing. I don’t want him to be sad, hurt - nothing that involves pain. I’m hoping he will get help for his depression and with his next realtionship I hope it has a better chance.  When he rang today he asked why we couldn’t do a long distance thing, I said I mentioned that to you before and you told me right off that “no it wouldn’t work, no point” and said fair enough. Tomorrow is a public holiday - no school. I’m guessing the next day I’ll see him is Thursday at school, I hope it goes ok - seeing him I mean. I need to give him back his house key and talk about him getting his stuff from my place. Anyone want to take my job?

I got a unit/flat today. Mum said its a bit smaller than what I have now. It’s all happened soooo quickly. I saw it yesterday [after we broke up] on the net, rang about it, my mum went and had an inspection today, she said yes, they faxed me an application, I faxed it back and by 5pm today they told me I had it. It’s empty now, I’ll move in next Friday.  SO - the next 11 days is going to be FRANTIC! Packing, cleaning and organizing. I have to gather up some boxes and sort out my stuff. Stuff I don’t need needs to be given to a better home [op shops ahoy!]

Wish list — new bed, washing machine, new microwave, new jeans, new boots and a haircut.

Happy 1000 to me! I now have a red star on eBay. My feedback is now 1001. I’m going to be listing a bunch of auctions tomorrow with a starting bid of $4.99 - most will have buy-it-nows for $9.99, $14.99 and $19.99. I’ll post them when I list them.

A New Start

Posted on April 23rd, 2007 in crushed!, personal by April

Here I am blogging again — much insparation goes to Riikka since she started again. I’m really liking WordPress. CuteNews now frustrates me with deleting comments, spam and all that crap. I waited til now because today marks the start of my life for the zillionth time. I am single. Again.

Today Peter and I broke up. I ended it. I feel we wanted different things out of our relationship [20 months], and our communication had broken right down, and he didn’t want to help fix it. A bigger reason I guess is because I wanted to move back to my home town. Stomping ground. Where I am now with him, I had no family here nor friends. 200 kilometers from it all. I was alone here. 8 months in total. Not in the relationship point so much, but in everything else. So I’m moving home. Back to the familiar. That thought makes me happy. What makes me sad? The fact that Peter and I are no longer. I do love him, but I chose something over another.

Curtis is starting to like the idea of going back. He will get to see his dad a lot more. He really misses him. He will miss his school, he adores his teacher. I’m hoping he will adjust well. He’s my little trooper.

I’m hoping to move in 2 weeks, that means pulling my finger out of my arse and getting organized. My mum is checking out some units for me tomorrow and i should know in a couple of days whether I get them. So my posts my be all over the place. Some here and some there. I do intend on keeping this regularly updated. The world is built on the best intentions ;-)

Here in this blog - the bloggette [me] will chat about myself, my websites I work on, hollywood trash, my love for eBay and the clippings I sell, who I crush on *cough* eric dane *cough* and just crap that fills my head in general. I’m going to start on a few pages etc

Nuff said for now, shall return when time permits. Hoping that is tomorrow.
