Turn of the season and all...

Thanks to Joe Pineapples, who has cool a cool name.

Summer is coming!! Or winter for the northern kiddies. So here's a few favourite things from summer...

♥ Staying out until ungodly hours of the night without freezing your bot bot off

♥ It's light til about 9pm!

♥ Long days at the beach without a care in the world

♥ Outdoor movie theatres (especially DIY ones with all the doonas, pillows and blankets in the house piled up on the lawn, and dragging the TV out as far as it can come before the power plug comes out)

♥ Music festivals.

♥ Summer just has this vibe about it. I mean, it's summer!

♥ The smell.

♥ Extra long holidays!

♥ Meeting new people on an otherwise lame family holiday to some random caravan park

♥ Boys.

♥ Topless boys.

♥ Walking around with a towel on is perfectly normal...

♥ ...as are bare feet covered with sand.

♥ Walking around with a bunch of mates doing absolutely nothing and loving every moment of it.

♥ Being brown, despite health authority warnings. Whoops.

♥ 'Summer days, drifting away, but oh, those summer nights...'

♥ Sitting inside with the air con on, whilst everything outside is practically evaporating.

♥ It's summer. 'Nuff said.

But then, there's also that forgotten season, winter. (Sorry, what?)

♥ Sitting in front of the fire with a hot chocolate whilst everything else outside is frozen

♥ Rugging up with so many layers of clothing that you resemble an abominable snowman and can barely walk. But at least you're warm.

♥ Hoodies.

♥ Walking around in a close-knit group trying to steal each others body heat.

♥ Boys.

♥ Warm boys.

♥ Not having to shave your legs because they remain in hibernation for 3 months.

♥ Falling asleep on the lounge with a heap of blankets and pillows around you.

♥ Pillow pools! I used to call them nests when i was little. Basically getting every pillow, blanket, doona and anything else squashy and warm and building
a 'nest'. Then curling up with either a good book or movie.

♥ Being sick sucks. But the feeling when you're home from school/work and fall asleep in the middle of the day rocks. Especially when you hadn't had any sleep the night before.

♥ Demazin. Yummy yummy yummy.

♥ Chai lattes in front of the fire at the Lott. Yummmmmmmmy.

♥ Snowmen. When it actually snows.

♥ Snow. When it actually snows.

♥ Photo shoots in the snow. When it actually snows.

♥ Being snowed in. When it actually snows.

♥ It's soccer season!!

♥ No one cares what you look like when you're trying to stay warm.


There's always been that fight over which is better. Summer? Or winter? I can't decide. In winter I say summer, in summer I say winter.

What do you think?

B-doonk Tsch!

It's been a while...

Many thanks toRobin papa!

A week, actually.

It's been hectic with school and assignments.

I took a mechanical baby the other day-Monday and Tuesday night... Nightmare!! I ended up getting 95%, which was pretty cool.

I absolutely bucketed down today. And I had to walk to school. I walk across the oval. It was insanely wet! I was tempted to get a body board, I tell you.

Here's a poem I wrote the other night. Our cat's been missing 3 weeks today :(

Its called SAM, as that's our cats name.

Silent night, starry night,
Full, round, beaming moon.
Show, tell, reveal,
your secrets to me soon.

Show a black streak,
racing across the night,
Quick, fast agile,
racing to the light.

Show me a planet,
circling the sky,
Round, bright,perfect,
it doesn't even try

And show me your heart,
beating openly,
pure, clean, even,
hidden deeply

But do not show the pain,
the suffering of most.
Pain, hate, anguish,
haunts like a ghost

Silent night, starry night,
full, round, beaming moon.
Show, tell, reveal,
your secrets to me soon.

Not one of my best, but it's alright I 'spose.

Hope its all going swimmingly in your river.

Bang.
Smash.
Crash.

It's raining men...

Lovely lightning thanks to encouragement :)

Whoo... Its raining outside. Which is actually quiet nice, as I'm inside watching it cascade down the windows. I hope it storms tonight. Storms are sooo rad!!

How good is lightning? Its so amazing to watch, and it's never the same. It's also so great as its so dangerous, but yet so beautiful. A bit like some animals. Like the anenome. That thing is so rad!
And the box jelly fish. It has the best life ever!! Flaoting around until something swims into its domain then, BAM, you're gone.
And those bugs that are so bright, when their whole purpose is to tell you to stay away, you always want to get that little bit closer.

Bugs like this little fella

Thats all for today.

Cute Words *squeeze*

Thanks to snippy.snippy.crap.kristine for this uber-cute candy mosaic! I could eat it all up!

There's some words that just sound so cute. They feel warm and fuzzy. They're fun to say. They make you happy. They prove that although English may be a horrible subject, there's also a bright side.

Some cute words*:
♥ bellybutton fluff
♥ bubble
♥ squishy
♥ cupcake
♥ raspberry
♥ squelch
♥ foofy
♥ fuzzle
♥ ruffle
♥ titular

*some of these may of may not be made up :)

Do you feel the happy waves coming already?

And remember, when you feel sad, keep in mind that rubber duckies smile through anything and everything. They see lots of people naked and keep smiling :P You should too! :) (the smiling, not the seeing lots of people naked ;) )

Quack quack!

Thanks Incendios!

Here's a few sites on my 'Most Hit' List at the moment:

Word clouds!-This is really, really cool!! Just type in some text, and it come out with a cloudy collage of words. It's really nice. My background before the one of my cat (who is now missing :( ) was the lyrics from Glycerine, by Bush, arranged in a colourful cloud.

Galadarling.com-Gala is really really nice! She inspired me to create my own blog. A really really good site!

Flickr-yes, it's a photo storage site, but its also a treasure trove for amazing photos. And better still, you don't even need to be a member!

Cyanide and Happiness-Oh my god, these cartoons are sooo cute!! I especially love this one. How cool are they!?

Dumb Little Man-who isn't dumb at all. This one is pretty good, for obvious reasons ;)

And here are some really interesting sites:

Heat sensitive paint-wow, this is really cool. Its pretty amazing, actually.

Cake wrecks-ahaha, these are so funny/cute/disastrous!

Have fun, kiddies!!

A dirty little town on the Thames is calling you away...

Thanks Akcjia / Katarina 2353!!

Oh my god. Watching the closing ceremony last night of the Olympics my love for this city was just revived. City being London. So, yeah, I've never been there, but if I could live anywhere, it would be there. It's way nice. Nice to see Becks was there :)

And on the topic of Olympics... Michael Mitcham!! You bloody legend!! He is freaking rad. For anyone who doesn't know (ie, you live under a rock or aren't Australian), he was on his last dive, trailing 108 points to China. So he stood there, no hope of winning gold (he was in the silver position) and he pulled out an amazing 112.6 point dive! 4 10s and 3 9.5s. It was amazing!! He broke China's almost definite run of 8 out of 8 diving gold medals.

Congratulations to all our athletes. You did us all proud. Unfortunately, now we have to watch lame-o TV shows as the network has no more sport to show. Thanks...

Aussie aussie aussie!!

Peesh.

Grrr...

A big thanks to clickr_clickr!!

I'm really annoyed right now. I had a huge post full of pictures ready to post, but my computer went whack and managed to delete all the info that I'd collected over 3 hours, in between doing other things. Damn.

So instead, I'll just post this really really nice photo I found. I love it!!

Anyway, off to do the portfolio that I've been procrastinating against for so long!

Peace.
