fie-guratively speaking

lounging in uber funky hidden city spots and traipsing the empty streets in the crisp early morning fog leave me loving my friday nights more and more.

cheers to rohan and leroy for being the two best mates a girl could hang out with on a friday night. you guys are good medicine for a sapped and tired, essay-saturated brain.

in addition to good company, i learnt:

- to walk slower (i had to, less be bombarded with whines and complaints. goodness. and they say they have longer legs.pffft)

- that walking in between two protective guys on a late night friday is the safest feeling in the world

- melbourne city fogs up real pretty in the wee hours of the morning ("fuyoh, macam gentiiiiinggg!")

- greater union seats are not great, but not that bad either

- cold weather + multiple cups of skinnymocha and lemon lime bitters = very many loo trips

 - that all la sallian boys are, and always will be a little psycho

- that certain GIS boys do know malay (say it with me, babi hutan cantik)

on a separate note, thank you for rushing home early from aikido, for the verynicely cut up rock melon and for patiently explaining camera angle shots, glowing rocks and ants that eat grass.

i love our catch up sessions. hanging out with you makes me appreciate the little things in life.

wk (and his green alien) rock.

if i hear anymore

hammering/gallumphing tractors/insanely annoying leaf blowers/motor revs/sirens

i will implode.

then i will explode and start smacking things (or people).

yummyvongole tonight was my first proper meal in….two weeks?

i'm hoping it'll last me a couple of days. cos there's nothing in the house but nutrigrain.

(two 805g cereal boxes in a week. that can't be too good?)

oh my.

my mum actually asked me to buy a sandwhich. she must be pretty desperate for me to eat cos it's generally "don't waste money on something you can slap together on your own".

i love my sister.

letters spell the air.

perpetual smiles.

and i've got something for the weekend.

it feels

right

ruddy

awesome!

on a totally different tangent:

seeing makes me less inclined to.

tarnished genesis.

i feel sorry watching you struggle to justify happiness.

or why people should/shouldn't agree.

i suppose i should be nice.

but i think i'm winning the battle of who could care less.

and it feels

(everyone say it with me)

right

ruddy

awesome.

buahahaha…

STOMP is on!

cannotwait cannotwait!

1 a.m snickers&sparklingribena drops are l.o.v.e.l.y.

thank you.

:)

(and for waking me up just in time too *grin* it was supposed to be a five minute shut eye. i promise!)

i think Cookie/kooky aftermovie&dinner chill outs should always be like this.

*loopy grin*

to shiung, rohan and isaac: spill the embarrassingbeans sessions (some toxic lizzie perhaps hmm?), abc shuffles (oh the lameness of it all!), our own architectural da vinci movie creations and awesome music musings over candlesincups  are simply the best. cheers, cranberry vodka style!

:)

the shins DID too remake postal service's we will become silhouettes.

(didn't they?)

and yes, we will study tomorrow.

i can see rohan sweating his weekend out already.

by the way, 70% dark lindt tastes absolutely divine when first put in the freezer, then in the fridge. i'm telling ya, the yummymeltinthemouth factor just triples. trust me.

the due date for my two and a half thousand word essay has been pushed back four days.

*fie does a little hop, skip and dance*

it helps that

it's a minute or two away.

and that sameness

lets me breathe easy.

take a walk down

on the sunny side of the street

and shuffle leaves

that are left behind.

early morning chatters

allow for

simultaneous semi sorta

somethings.

and i think how nice this is.

dodgy-ness personified.

woke up this morning to a flickr e mail from some twenty-six year old dude who (and i quote) "want to make friend". i cracked up at the last line.

"…do i have to say the words with u."

yes, read my lips and say it with me.

goodbyeeeeeee. me no want to make friend. me no likey random dude from china.

i like

early a.m. chats with someone who also has a craving for sparkling ribena (only he satisfied the craving, and i didn't); playing the postal service over and over; whinging about my copious amount of work to the accommodating doctor who probably has more work cut out for him in a day than i ever will in a lifetime; grapesandchocolate; bumping into the little strummer girl who looks good with long hair; going to the ballieu and checking out only TWO books; nutrigrain and cold mocha frappe; throne conversations which gross/funny me out; reading outloud with the possum; awesomely refreshing cm nights; watching chido be choir master; being inspired by nonci and snibs.

hues and twirls

a comfort without striving

we walk for miles

and i laugh with us.

i like that

you colour my world.

embryotic cranial musings and

reflective beats

it's difficult to be unhappy when.

the importance of being

and you become a panacea for Life.

dreams of forgotten alchemists

leave yesterday like a crease on your forehead.

bold temerity whispering does it matter in the end.

blazing embers. fired rain.

you're

more.

in every and so many ways.

nil admirari

three cheers to my good mate josh for suggesting a backpacking trip around rome.

eurOAD trip 07 here we come!

by the way, planning till the wee hours of the morning with a casual disregard for time, will, i assure you, result in a missed bus. tsk, j! for shame!

because who you are defines my dreams.

and i am more than happy with that.

i miss the seattle one.

will you please come visit me.

you can have my bed…and my heater…and…and….chocolate! yes, lots of my yummy lindt chocolate.

that should be enough to bribe persuade, no?
