smiling at life

i hav seriously had one of the best, amazing, invigorating, guilty-ridden, fun, fantastic, wonderful, junk food filled 48 hours. words cannot express how happy i feel just at this moment.
and the thing is, i suppose nothing extraordinary has happened to me.
no trip across to antarctica.
didn't fly.
wasn't named the world's miss universe...not that i want that.
i simply spent time with some of the best people i know.
the people who make me smile.
who, even after spending a whole night & half a day with you, will run up & give you the most amazing hug. as if i was a long lost friend.
who forgive me for bursting out in random laughter at 5 in the morning.
the kind who know all my secrets, seemingly without me even telling them.
the people who i always look forward to seeing, no matter what.
the neverending jokes we hav.
who are considerate, yet brutely honest about almost everything.
the so completely different mix of people, wen blended together, make the smoothest, coolest, tastiest, funnest, exciting treat you will ever get.

thursday night consisted of WAY too much to be able to be completely justified with words.
the ball sliding on exfoliate's tiled floor while pre-drinking.
the talks that should NEVER EVER EVER be repeated.
quotes that shouldn't but will always be remembered.
silly city folk who think that the possum is chasing them.
symbolic fern tree throwing.
my agility to dodge many a sprinkler...in heels...in the dark.
the "You can't die! Who will plan my funeral properly?"
but then the "Maybe dying together would be symbolic."
who are we dying from?
a drunk guy, in a taxi, cursing at us.
ordering (and inventing) a McNothing.
the fact that 4 of us get in a bed together, clearly all knowing we won't all end up there in the
morning. why do we bother really??
the curse of the women's figure skating.
the goodbye's.

i really thought that i should catch up with my lovely parentals of mine after my time away.
indian food.
i should hav expected it from my parents really.
but it was a nice meal & catch up time.
drove ALL THE WAY out to lilydale.
seriously, why do you live in lilydale?
i'm pretty sure we'v actually had this discussion before.
sang while driving.
very loud.
glad i was alone.
didn't take one wrong turn.
yay!!
was greeted quite splendifidly with chocolate...and champagne...and red wine...and video games.
and a really cool internet ordered pizza.
i mean i didn't eat the pizza.
it was just the cool internet ordered thing that excited me.
surprised i didn't get nightmares frm my marathon of shooting people witness.
tho was quite thrilling at the same time i admit.
i dreamed of elephants...baby elephants.
hmmm.
it was just an amazing night.
can't stop smiling.
didn't want to go home.
p.s. i'm sorry i haven't thought of ur code name yet. it will come eventually.


picked up scottie from dancing.
i feel like such a mum.
"I'm picking up my child frm dance class."
thought we could get something to eat, but just ended up wasting half an hour.
driving very close to the cbd.
but yet again, didn't get lost.

am babysitting at the moment.
reminiscing on my past two days.
children are all in bed.
house is quiet.
dark outside.
feel so old.
and it's different.
it's new.
things are going to change.
i honestly can't help that.
but i do know that things i want to remain the same, or even get better, most certainly will.
things that i want to change, i will change.
i now know that i can be stronger.
in my heart, i want to be stronger.
and i don't want to let people down again, even if they hav no official reason to be let down.
i know exactly how they feel.
and i hate it.
i will try my absolute best to do this.
because they hav to smile.
they have to.


"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
-Philippians 4:13



Till we meet again...
