News flash: I'm still alive!

Hello, my darlings.

I've been busy lately. Sorry about that! I think one of my friends officially poked me to write more shit. LOL!

I'm drawing a lot. Darling Ebbie and Max got me a drawing board for Christmas. I'll be doing work on it very soon. I also need to made dresses for Tina's wedding, so I'll be busy doing that as well. *sigh*. In March I get my internal ultrasound and my IUD scheduled to be put in.

I'm also emailing a boy. He's taking me out on the weekend and I have *no* idea what he's doing. It's a surprise. He's a cheeky one, folks. It amuses me no end!

I don't really have much else to say. I'm boring Nacey today! I'm sorry!

A Very Important Day.

Today the Australian Government apologised to the Aboriginal People of Australia for everything we've inflicted upon them since we arrived. I remember first hearing about saying sorry, and I didn't get it, but I was only a kid. I grew older, and finally I understood - but we still hadn't said sorry yet.

And now, we finally have. I am so glad in my heart. It's not going to fix all the problems, but it's a damned good start down a necessary road. And I want say it, for myself. To all the indigenous Australians and Islanders. Even though I'm only First Generation and it wasn't my ancestors that did these things. I'm white. I'm part of the dominant privileged social subset. So I'll say it.

I am SO very, very sorry. For *everything* you've been through.

But more than that - if there's a way to make things better for Indigenous Australians - letter writing, voting a particular way, supporting a campaign or a charity - I'll do it. It is time to make changes.

I watched Kevin Rudd's speech. Never have I wanted to hump a politician's leg MORE in my life. And Brendon Nelson? YOU'RE A FUCKING COCK-SUCKER! Seriously, man! You managed to make my mother, a stalwart Liberal voter, to not only LIKE Kevin Rudd (at least more than she did), but DISLIKE your party! Gah! It's like Liberals are ASKING for people to hate them or something! LOL!
