All that familiarity and sense of belonging. All that excitement and danger ( Read more... )

I know everyone is studying for uni exams, except me. I'm doing assignments due tomorrow (well, my individual is done, just the group one which is so much of a mess I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole). Meanwhile, good luck to the rest of you, and may we uphold that pride SGHS tradition of work conqueing all (except this damn cold and my ( Read more... )

Separating the yolk from the egg is never easy, the one becoming colourless, the other restless in indecision.  A hundred times worse than the blood and guts on telly, because this is real, this proteinaceous mess easily overbrimming and spilling into death.

I've been having cheese cake for breakfast for the past three days, and I think I'm getting deranged from it, not to say addicted. But a slice of cheesecake, like ice cream really brightens me up! So it's all good!

I've done everything this week end,  except uni work.

I've bought a pair of shoes, a pair of jeans.
I've gone to work.

Hi everyone, I'm updating! (because of boring computer tutorial at the moment), but so much has happened lately, so I really want to tell you guys all about it:

Circular Quay (today, an hour ago)

my brilliant new med friend, Kat, and I, we went to Circular Quay during our break and had fish and chips and cracked up at everything. You guys seen those ( Read more... )

There goes my supposedly long entry. Hey, it's all about the thought.

Anyway, I was just going to say how I was feeling depressed (so what's new?) and how everyone cheered me up by being who everyone was, so thanks.

And happy 9th birthday to Jem, my brother, who I love despite all appearances. Dad, Jem and I went bike riding at the park this morning ( Read more... )

I know I haven't been very forthcoming with entries, so here goes a long one.
