Post BB - Housemate Antics 2013

[chinnii]

I love the girl, I do, but today she's making my head hurt. If she's on her own for NYE...I don't even know. Hope she's hanging in there better than it appears.

And I don't want to think about Matt rubbing oil on his sensitive bits ever, EVER again.

I agree, she's not really good being alone. Another day of like this I'll go insane ahead of her! Lol.

And the tweet, well I'm kind of guilty about it. I posted similar thing just hours ago. That's what you get from watching a whole season of tv show and finished it in 2days and being told that you have to wait for 1 year for the next season!

Tim forgot to say Byrdie was going with him

"Forgot" - just slipped his mind I'm sure.

@ timdormer What was the prank you and Drew did that required chemistry? It was a secret!


tim dormer ‏@ timdormer 1m

@ DownunderLisa hahaa we boiled chillis in massage oil that Matt used to rub on his sensitive bits when he missed his girlfriend!!! Hahaa

LOL

When she's with Drew, does she sit there talking to him the ENTIRE time? I would go mental without extended moments of quiet in my day.

When they did the TVSN Celeb Challenge she wouldn't stop talking in his ear while they were sitting...

she showed the book she bought for a friend but also received herself as a gift the other day (IT by Alexa Chung)

That was a gift she gave not received.

Tully is very tied down for a young single woman. i'm just wondering how much of the care is shared between her Dad and brothers. one brother lives in London so he is basically absent, and i'm not sure about the other

might be time for Tully to hand more responsibility over to the others. if she won't then she can only expect her partner, he/she, to live in Sydney

it's quite sad. i think she was looking for something and was happy to be on the show, but now it's over she is back to where she was, lonely or alone, or both. she doesn't look fulfilled to me, something is missing in her life and it might be her commitments. or her using them, stopping her from finding whatever that is. i am sorry this is so deep

she showed the book she bought for a friend but also received herself as a gift the other day (IT by Alexa Chung) ... and she's been hooked on a tv series and watched the whole series in a marathon effort ... isn't THAT what we do during holiday period? when beaches are crowded, shops are crowded ... if friends are busy with their own family things over this period I don't think Tully has been keen to go out on her own in public since the end of BB - she may still be getting people passing by making horrible comments ...

she's a person that uses social media in a different way than we might ... vents everything ...

we shouldn't judge her whole day on a few tweets here and there ...

I can do marathons, but I also read. I thought Tully did too. She has talked about it before, but apparently not anymore.

It's not so deep, but it's extremely compassionate. The brother in Oz is younger and her father works etc. I think (and I am speaking from experience), it's not always that you're doing something for the person with Alzheimer's, but leaving them seems like a betrayal.
I actually wonder if Tully could write a book. there's a niche and growing market in YA gay fiction, that unsurprisingly deals more often with males than females. I'm not trying to pigeonhole her though.

thought she bought it for a friend but said she'd been tempted to keep it and then thanked someone else for giving her a copy ...

Bought this for my bestie but secretly wanted to keep it for myself.... Luckily, Santa spoilt me this year. #alexayoubabe 

I reckon leaving her mum or trying to give up any "responsibility" would cause her more distress than anything she's experiencing now. I imagine given she wasn't at Christmas she'd be in the severe stages of Alzhiemer's (no functional communication, etc) so I know I couldn't live with myself if I picked up and left my mother (and my father who was left to deal with it alone) in that situation.

in one of her blogs she said her Mum wanted her to experience life, can't remember the exact wording, but she wanted Tully to be free to discover and learn things for herself, to be cultured. it has helped her be a free spirit but her body has a massive lock on it, namely Syd

she should read her own words to be free of any guilt she may have of leaving her Mum for longer periods of time, even if it means moving away, she is not her Mothers keeper and her Dad is still around to check in on her Mum, that's his love. this has to be her mind frame when it comes to Luna i think as well

and yes, she NEEDS to write

Alexa is just the authors name for the #alexayoubabe part and at the time I thought the second part was just saying that she got other good presents, but I guess you could be right it might mean someone brought it for her.

Her mum is in care and hasn't spoken for six years.

What series did you watch? I've just finished all 4 seasons of The Tudors... Was fantastic! Oh, and Vikings...also excellent!

What you say sounds good in theory and remember she did do stuff like participate on BB. But I think it would screw with her head even more if she left…that's obviously just an opinion about which I have no supporting evidence. It's a Faustian bargain in her head I suspect.

It sucks. It really sucks. And as much as she may need to learn how to better handle being alone, I also get the impression she needs to be taken care of a little better, too, sometimes. Maybe she has a hard time letting people--I know I do--but we all need it.

I loved Vikings, I watched it in like 2 days, the next season starts soon...

I have been known to have West Wing, Buffy, and Broadchurch marathons

This is going to sound so clichéd and of course paradoxical, but she needs a mother.

you got that leaving part right ...

I understand completely why Tully would not consider moving away from Sydney even if solely based on her mum - but I think its also a matter of where she thinks she is better placed to get work herself ... but of course her mum would be her main consideration

its a huge part of Tully's life - a sad reality she lives with ... and if she's an emotional soul on a rollercoaster that we sometimes can't fathom and find hard to witness via her social media ... well thank god we don't walk in her shoes ... and at such a young age too ...

Same...haha! Really? Is there a date?

That's fine, break my heart.

I'm metaphorically holding your hand. My mother was surprised every time she saw my face at Christmas time. And every time I say goodbye to her, I wonder if she'll remember me next time. And that's discounting my poor dad, who insists it's all fine.

 

[prufrock]

That's Tully though isn't it? Poor lost girl..and the only female in her nuclear family. I don't know some days what I'd do without sisters. Excuse me while I get a hanky...
