Quote for my day :P

at the moment?

Working my way through a report that's due soon... want to get a lot of it done, so will probably continue posting randomly throughout the night :P

Also listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto's Forbidden Love, playing on this blog... it's been on repeat for me the last 6hrs or so :P

And the w/end?

Yet another blur :S Friday night I went for a jap buffet with Vee and est, which was mega funny - because they make you pay for excessive wastage, and we underestimated the amount of food they brought out. We ended up spending a lot of time eating not for enjoyment (tho the food wasn't bad) and mostly to save money :P After which we went to Stokers... which was ok...

Saturday I went on a mystery church date with Eco-Paul... who took me out to Oakleigh and a bus out to... Cheltenham? Where I only got to find out which church it was when I got there, and it was Bayside :S Talking to the hospitality guy there afterwards, turns out we knew quite a few similar people, which was quite disturbing... I mean, how far do you have to go until you can get away entirely from the degrees of separation thing...

After that I met up with bibi, mikey and vee and we all went to Golden Monkey, and inadvertantly had a blast meeting the promo people there :P All extremely beautiful, and all taken, but some were just really nice and spent a lot of the night talking to us :P Mikey was in halfie heaven...

Sunday afternoon woke up, pottered around a bit then met up with Viki... which was unreasonably fun as usual :S We went skating @ St Kilda again, this time @ night, and found ourselves in the most momenty-moments... on a pier... on a hill, looking out over the bay... and wondering by the end of the night, just where all the time had gone...

the week gone by...

... and then, it was Friday :S Can't believe it's already here, glad it is, tho there isn't much respite in immediately viewable sight.

Mikey & Kaiwin crashed over on Wed night cuz they missed their last train... amusing tales on Christop's site...

Then Vee came down last night, and we went adventuring until the wee hours of the morn... which will remain unspecified as my dad sometimes comes by this blog :P

Which leaves us with Fri! Woke up, had lunch, cleaned up Credo, fixed the right hand mirror on my bike, and will now meander thru other assorted tasks... hopefully a work weekend ahead of me tho, hope to get a lot of good h/work done tomorrow and Sunday...

hehehe...

... ok ok, back down to earth now... but it's a bit fun to go through these crazy, obsessive moods every now and again :P

funny how...

...you can have seen someone the previous day, and yet feel like it's been forever since you last talked to them. When you repeatedly refresh your inbox hoping for their reply, even though you know they're away for those days... and when that reply finally comes, you hang onto every word that's said... and everything around you reminds you of them.

moments...

I've been blessed with some pretty special moments lately...

...skating/walking along the beach the beach and sitting at the end of a pier until that stars came out...

...spending some great and ridiculous times with some precious friends on the rooftop, on bean bags, huddled under blankets...

...spending a night by a lake watching the ducks swim by in the dim light...

...long phone calls with kindred spirits...

Life... has been pretty blessed :)

guess who's back... back again :)

As life settles down once again and I'm sitting here pondering the journey since my last post, it's a bit mind boggling the incredible distance I've come in a matter of a few months :S

Rather than attempt to type it all out, I figure I'll instead post some pics of my travels, to give a small snapshot of where I've been - there are more photos if you click the nates photos link on the right :)
