It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

I was feeling down today (LONG story) so I decided to do something constructive to take the feeling away (social work training, oy) so I wanted to make a post of all the photos of people and places and things that mean something to me. And when I started to plan it, I realised just how long it would be if I put everyone into it. And that made me feel so amazing, you have no idea...

I did it anyway deciding I would only use photos I have taken myself (or by my family since I wasn't at the reunion to take those and I didn't take the ones of me as a kid, but you get the point!) to cut down on spamming random Hugh Jackman pictures ;). Not everyone that should be here is including my friends in Australia. Woot, Peter, Laura and Ness, I have no (not blurry) photos of you!! And there are other friends who aren't on here, but be that as it may, here it is. Some of my happy things.

( To me you are perfect )

As my dear friend goes to work at Disneyland in Paris, I sit here (at far too early in the morning) and contemplate the occasionally all to hard to see beauty of today's world.

I live with two of my favourite people in the entire world, whom I never would have met without the internet (and the same goes for them!). I travelled to Europe last year and I got to see Lisa, Clare and Jess, all of whom are internet friends and all of whom I adore. They made my time in London so much more special than it would have been otherwise. I have lived in two countries I never would have lived in, were it not for the internet (still would have lived in Austria, that was through school, but Australia and New Zealand are different stories).

To all my dear friends I met through this wonderfully weird web, I adore you. So many people talk about the good old days and they say they want to live in yesterday's world because it was easier and maybe that's true. I'm still so glad to live in this one.

We're listening to Abney Park playing Little Drummer Boy, which is awesome and hilarious. Ali is cooking and Leah's potatoes are baking. Lewi is here and we spent the afternoon watching Lord of the Rings in 60 minutes which is great fun starring my friends when they were teensy! And I cuddled a Simbacat and he purred so loudly it was slightly disconcerting :D

And then I learned that if you don't touch your flute in two years you forget how to play it ;) BUT I can learn again (much to the annoyance of my housemates I'm sure!)

Hera on Saturday was beautiful and she gave us hugs and we gave her chocolate and Leah got to request two songs and she dedicated her last song to us :D I LOVE her she's so freaking cute!

And Lewi is awesome :D

Yeah so I found the book. It was in my backpack hiding in a newspaper. DAMN YOU, NEWSPAPER!!!! I felt really silly when I saw that. And I still feel like crap. Blah. I wonder what it is. Maybe Karma! :O It's still snowing here, and I'm kinda ready for it to be spring now. But we (Jayann and I) took some video tape of the blizzard to send to Lewi lol. We found it hilarious though I don't know if he will ;). And then Jayann taped me petting the cat and watching some stupid special on VHS about Bubblegum Pop. More accurately...SHE was watching the special and I was just sitting there being victimized. And she zoomed the camera in on Britney Spears, but then kindly averted it to spare Lewi's precious eyes. And then she filmed herself eating some bread. Yeah that was interesting. And now I am stalling rather than reading a chapter in my book. I actually do like the book though. This studying thing is fun :D

I finally finished a paper that's been driving me crazy for a week!!! Mostly because I don't have the book I'm supposed to be writing it on...go figure ;) I still feel a bit like crap, but what can ya do. I finished my paper, my cat is asleep on top of my laundry and it's damn adorable, I am talking to My Lewi. Life is good :) I still have to go to the bank. Damn you money! ;) And I have to send stuff to my mom and to Rosie. I hate having errands, because I always plan them out to the last minute detail and it's sad because they don't take much planning...but that's what I do, lol. Anyway it's almost time for me to work once again. Have to earn money for the strip show tomorrow (yes...Lara is going to a strip show....yes Lara is going to wear a bag on her head) Ta-ta!

.... I hate you, Martin Luther!!!!!

Yes...Yes I do. I am trying to write a paper on the reformation of the church and all I can think about is how much Martin Luther really did look like a Bullfrog. Well....that and How much I really wish that I were with Lewi right now lol. Stupid peasant's revolt!!! Yeah ok so I can't really blame them for being cranky and all but why do I have to write about it! Blah. Whining about it though, I am enjoying that. ;) But I guess I should go do it *grumbles* It's not like I can sleep anyway. I'm too hyper lol. I do wish I had some cake...ooh! I found a ten dollar bill! Hello laundry!
