re-intro

[rinna(on leave...for eternity)]

hey there, it's rinna. i figure it's time for me to update my profile, seeing as things have changed a lot since anybody's really heard anything from me.

my name is rinna, my surname is currently debatable.

I was (according to my last profile or whatever i was before i posted my little bio thingy here last time):

- a runaway
- a rape survivor
- australian
- extremely introverted offline
- extremely distrustful
- a smoker (working on quitting)
- a drinker (bourbon, my poison)
- a mother
- a wife
- a mate
- 20yo (turn the big 2-1 in july - yay australian drinking laws - we start to hop on the drop at 18, nyeh!)

I:

- married my best friend, Matt, in July 2004. we have known each other for eight years, lived together for four.
- am currently separated from Matt, working on moving apart from each other, then getting a divorce.
- we totally rock as friends, suck as husband and wife. obviously nothing to be taken lightly, it was a mutual and amicable decision, as things were getting intolerable at home and it was starting to affect our parenting and how Charli was seeing us as people.
- haven't written a decent poem in a long while.
- need to get back into writing to take the stress and take the focus off this separation.
- got my labret repierced.
- got my first tattoos - a red nautical star on my right forearm and a blue nautical star on my left forearm.
- am really itching to get more metal and ink. heh.
- have become a dedicated blogger. i am at bourbonbird.com if anyone (*cough*TJ*cough*) needs to get in touch with me or is worried about how i'm doing, as i'm terrible with replying (or even remembering to check) my emails...heh.
- drank myself stupid every night for a little while, but have cleared up for the sake of getting through this divorce clear in the mind and body.
- am still extremely introverted and distrustful, but i don't have a single tangible friend of my own here in sydney, so i guess i'm going to have to change that if i have any hope of keeping any scrap of sanity about myself...urgh.
- miss poetclub dearly.

so that's me in a nutshell - pretty much from july 2004 to now. yay, me. life is tough, but there are a lot of others doing a lot worse than me.

Well well.. good to hear from you!! Indeed it is Auzzies *S* great people. interesting ideas *snickers* My ex is an Auzzie from the Perth area, well, she is still in that area. DOn't worry about not writing good, let us be the judge if it is good or not Either way though, you have words in your blood, even you will be satisfied with them again before long.

Divorce is a hard thing, even between frinds. I know, my wife and I went through the same thing, or should I say exwife *L* We were best friends before, during and after our marriage, a real hard thing for most people to grasp. Our families think we are nuts.

Great to read about you, I look forward to much more *S*

nevermore,

that's right...your little birdy is a little aussie -- we raise good girls, it's part of the culture...heh. if my extremely poor memory serves me correctly, i think of the name liz, or dizzy lizzy or something silly i made up so i could remember it, LOL!

divorce - yeah, it's bound to suck, isn't it? LOL!

well, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, or some rot like that.

it's good to be home and around old mates.
