it's just a number

I'm finding the thought of my upcoming birthday to be incredibly underwhelming. I'm not at all excited about it, seeing as I have nothing planned for it. And it falls on the worst day of the week. Bleh.

At least the boys in the workshop will remember seeing as I set a nice little reminder in their Outlook calendars, heehee.

I'm starting to feel that apprehension about getting older though. I'll be 27, but there's so much I haven't had the chance to experience yet that other people my age have done many times. Maybe I'm worried that I'll run out of time the older I get? I don't know. I could just be being very womanish and want to stay young forever for vanity's sake, though I've only recently started being a little vain about my appearance. I am definitely starting to embrace my curves and thick mane of hair.

I think I shall keep telling myself that age is only a number, and then all will be hunky dorey.

untitled

A gentle breeze caresses my cheek

And I remember times long ago as a little girl,

You brushing wayward strands from my face

And teaching me lessons of the world.

The years have not been kind to you, Uncle,

Yet you lived and loved us all so well

That now the world seems a little bleaker,

It is a little harder to laugh.

The wind continues to softly follow me,

Tenderly drying my tears.

I can feel you there, and I can smile

Knowing that your spirit still soars.

packing

There's not really anything new to report, but I have started packing so I can get the bulk of my stuff to the new place next weekend with the help of my family. I fully intend on starting to pack my kitchen stuff asap, seeing as I went looking for my large noodle bowls this evening and could not find them anywhere in the kitchen. I love my noodle bowls, but more to the point they're awesome for serving up pasta dishes. And I'm in the mood for pasta tonight. I'd kick some ass, but he's bigger than me so I'm not sure how well that would work.

On a brighter note, the ninja cat was calm for majority of the day. This shouldn't be so surprising considering he played with a mouse to death last night, then kept playing with it. I love the little monster, hehe.

yay!

I applied for a decent flat last week, but was told that it was promised to someone else. So I searched further (without any success), and my search has ended today. The real estate got back to me and let me know that the other tenant fell through so I could have the flat if I wanted. Yes please!

Signing lease on 22nd, uni is back for the semester... life is full of stuff again :P

girliness

Need to build up confidence before heading out tonight, or I will not be able to pull off the outfit I think I have planned. No one to give second opinion = second guessing. I fail at being girly.

EDIT: Got my second opinion, faith my my own girliness is restored :P

sing-along

I have to listen to music when I'm driving for more than 15 minutes, cos I find that I just start to get fidgety otherwise. On the nice little drive a had today, I rediscovered my iPod and my old playlists, and Missy Higgins. She doesn't fit in with the usual suspects on my iPod such as Evanescence, Epica, Nightwish, Seether, Amanda Palmer and Emilie Autumn... but I love listening to Missy Higgins, because singing along to Where I Stood, The Special Two and The Sound of White is very cathartic. Not to mention that I think I sound good singing them, haha! Well, when I can remember the words.

I'm just trying to picture what me singing must've looked like to the truckies driving past :P
