With the few people I've spent time with leading up to the advent of the new year, I've maintained that I've not been looking forward to '08
I really, really liked '07; '06 @ u/seed was fantastic, '07 was an incredible year of new beginnings and magnificent adventures, and I was really quite sad to see it go, especially as '08 on the surface has nothing exciting at all
But tonight, as I sat on the roof of one of the oldest buildings in melbourne (eating dumplings, appropriately), christop came up with this gem: "so, similarly to how you're romantic in everything you do, are you now going to be adventurous? even though you're not going to have a big adventure this year, will you be having lots of little ones?"
We went down to christop's room, went through photos of brent's birthday, credo christmas, and the staff chrissy party. I got home, read through christops and kates blogs - to spend some time with pictures and words of such colour and life vibrance, it's simply impossible to come away and not be "life-breathed"
As the mental haze and fog start to lift, and with it the projections of only avoidance of relationships-and-selves-only environments, I start to see again the potential timbre of life... of '08
And become, again, inspired to write

brdabThat's the way. It's like any anime. You think those dudes don't have the chance to give up on finding their adventures? It's always easier to curl up and and accept that nothing's gonna happen.
Doesn't sound much like life to me though, and I doubt it does for you either.
I think maybe after a while, we all need to refocus and get ready to fight again. For me, I know the grind makes me really dull, and then I stop looking, stop fighting.
Life is found in the battle. I think so, anyway.
Inspiration is good. I need some of that. Especially in the situation I'm in. It doesn't really help that it's kind of my fault I let it happen in the first place.
You must be going what is she talking about/why is she so abstract...
I am abstract. Ask me about it on our catch ups.
Ha-ha! Now you have no excuse!
