the way the cup sees it.

why do you let me stay here?

Today:

been listening to She & Him nonstop,

applied for a job,

watched the neighbours move out,

packed two boxes,

one entirely of bedding! i do like my bedding,

chatted online to my favourite foreign friend,

and to my beloved sister,

and i managed to burn popcorn.

it was not your fault, but mine.

I feel weird today. I think it's because I'm home alone. I'm not having as much fun as Macaulay Caulkin did!

If I could slap everyone who was being negative about where I'm living this year, my hand would be all red and I'd have mega RSI.

FOOT IS DOWN!

life is liking things.

Things I Kind of Like:

reading new magazines

Simon from Misfit's smile

$1.20 cans of pepsi from the shop

the hilarious guy at the fish and chip shop

mad men

cracking myself up

being stressed and then realising it was all for nothing

finding a job that i can apply for

and hoping i'll get it

a clean kitchen

best coast 'boyfriend' = great song

vintage sunglasses

saucy stirfry

baking cakes

and eating them

water

capsicum

hugs from friends

and mum's really warm and loving hugs

my creative writing group

apple cider

the eagles

bobby pins (which i never have enough of)

good sense of humours

dress up parties

dreaming about travel

pictures of travel

nice views

the way babies smell

the way they drop their lip

reading a book in bed

rain

snow

everything

Memory!

I love it when random memories come to you, and you get this warm fuzzy feeling run over you.

That song 'Lady' by Little River Band just came on and it reminded me of when we were singing it at camp, Lissy and Grant in the kitchen doing dinner things and singing it.

:)

"And I love you best,

You're not like the rest,

You're there when I need you,

You're there when I need,

I'm gonna need you.

A long time ago I had a lady to love,

She made me think of things I never thought of.

Now she's gone and I'm on my own,

A love song has come into my mind,

A love song, it was there all the time.

So lady, let me take a look at you now,

You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow.

Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you,

Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do."

simoan.

It annoys me, and it's extremely noticeable, how I alllllllways want to take photos of everyone but no one wants to take pictures of me. It sounds weird but you know those moments when you should take photos - travel, something exciting happens, a party etc. not always, but sometimes.

i'm having a simon from misfits day.

le boy.

Sweet darlin', come hold me, just a little bit longer now.

What do you do when you like someone and you think they might like you too, but they end up talking about other girls with you?

Do you give up?

Or do you talk about boys back to them?

I just did the latter.

I now await for the reply.

Oh, I just got it. It was "Hehehe."

never let me go.

this movie took my breath away. kathy and tommy were absolutely beautiful. tommy, yeah, i kind of swooned whenever he was on the screen. carey mulligan and andrew garfield are perfect.

i kind of bawled my eyes out at the end; i warn you, it is highly depressing!

but i love it so, so, so much.

the mighty wairoa.

The camp of a lifetime!

Sun, water (not surf, but the gorgeous clean refreshing kind), laughs, games, coffees by the campfire, fighting over Favourites, biscuiting, watching Misfits in the tent, adoring my nieces and nephews in every way, getting to know my sisters, and just enjoying it.

Grandad, you were always there. We never forgot about you for a second, mate. I saw your trees - beautiful. love you.

i'm going back to wellington on tuesday. i'm having those restless nights, where i worry my night away. then i proceeded to have a dream about friends of mine getting boyfriends/girlfriends. am i doing the right thing? am i wasting money? or will things just work out like they're meant to?

the world!

You know what?

I wouldn't mind being a history or geography teacher. Maybe History/Geography...Historical Geography. Showing the history of the geographical world. What happened where, when, how. How the societies of the world were formed. Why the people are where they are, and why what happened happened.

The world is so beautiful. Maps of the world make my heart pound. I'd love to stand in front of a class, point to a country and tell them something cool and informative.

Who knows?

Never Let Me Go.

So darlin, darlin', kiss me, kiss me, and never (never), never (never) never let me go.

22 minutes into the movie, and i'm walking on sunshine.

it's the epitome of beauty.

you ain't getting no younger.

"Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds,

She'll beat you when she's able.

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet."

hamilton.

After a weekend in Hamilton, I've discovered that...

1) i want a horse. i'll call him something daggy like horace.

2) i really want a dog... ideally a huge huge huge fat sheepdog with lots of hair and i'll call him wilson. but i'll settle for something else. i met an adorable boxer dog called zen this weekend, and he was swell.

3) i love driving by myself, and singing along to fleetwood mac and crying at sad songs and doing really daggy dance to michael jackson.

4) i get emotional when i'm really tired.

5) i don't know who's genes i have, but i have this problem where i feel left out really easily. i don't know who to blame... myself?

6) i love amanda seyfried!

7) i can't go to bed without lip balm.

8) my parents are adorbs.

9) life really isn't perfect, but i like it that way.

desperado.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fence, and open the gate.

It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you.

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late.

I need, and want, and crave, to play this on the piano... I need this to happen.
