i feel like i've got alot of things on my mind, but i'm sure if i tried to sift through them they'll turn out to be nothing at all..i went to a friend's wedding dinner last night, and it was nice, as far as wedding dinners go. it started late (but what else is new) but i think on the whole it was a relatively painless thing, and at least i knew quite a few people there. i do admire them though - they've finally found the person that they want to spend the rest of their lives with. and that's such a wonderful thing!
i'm such a hopeless romantic!! i like the idea of being able to find someone who'll want to spend the rest of their life with you.. but on the other hand i have a look around and think there's no way i'm going to find someone *i* want to spend the rest of my life with!
is it possible to be a cynical romantic??

the other day julie and i snuck off work a bit early to just walk around town for a bit of retail window shopping. i needed to find a dress for the wedding dinner (although i ended up wearing a dress i already had). but it was such great fun! we sat on the floor of kinokuniya flipping through our horoscopes for the year and reading really funny spells to each other. i always love bookstores, i think it's one of those places that can keep me occupied for hours and hours! and it's more fun when you have someone to share all the funny bits with too.. i was quite amused to see the shelf with all the books on dating next to the one all about planning a wedding, which was next to the shelf that had the books about moving on from divorce. you gotta love the way they categorise books!

here's a cute little test i did a few days ago, i was reminded of it when i saw janice's results..
Who You Are
You have a dazzling personality
You're a woman with a very balanced personality and lifestyle. You believe in making room in life to relax, think, and have fun. You refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of you. Love is the same way. You know what real love feels like and you'll accept no imitations! You pride yourself on not being the "typical woman." You're more honest and straightforward than most women. But just because you don't "wear your heart on your sleeve" doesn't mean you lack deep feelings. In fact, you're deeply committed to your loved ones and the causes you believe in. Women as truly balanced as you are very rare.
Who You're Looking For
He'll be an enigma
You're looking for a man who really enjoys life and can bring fun and excitement to your relationship. He's easygoing and knows how to live in the moment. You'll be impressed by how he can see the "big picture" and have a vision of what he wants to accomplish in life, while still having a practical and down-to-earth style. Though he can be outgoing and charming at times, you also will find he has a shy and quiet side. In some ways, especially emotionally, he may be hard to get to know. But he's worth the effort! You'll certainly never be bored. He loves adventure and is always looking to shake things up.

i finally got the chance to go swimming yesterday, although we almost didn't end up going because of some dark clouds that were looming in the horizon. but in the end they held out long enough for me to get some 20+ laps in and get some sunburn too. *rolls eyes* and even with the sunburn, my legs are still paler than my arms! i'm never going to get it right! but hey, at least i've got a bit more colour now...AXN is showing wild things... AGAIN. i've seen it about 20 times on AXN already. too bad it's the censored version. it's just not quite as fun when it's all cut up!
another few hours more of relaxing, and then it's another week of work!
back to the dungeon again!

uh huh.. and the idiot of the day prize goes toooooo...Britain's heatwave, which has claimed dozens of sunburn and heat exhaustion victims, has now produced its first case of frostbite.
A motorist was diagnosed with the condition after driving with his toes too close to the air conditioning vent on the 400 km journey from London to Manchester.
One of his toes started to turn black and another went blue.
"It was incredibly hot," Mike Ball, 46, told the Guardian newspaper. "I slipped off my shoe and sock because my car is an automatic and I don't need to use my left foot.
"I didn't realise anything was wrong until the next day when my foot was extremely painful."
Ball went to his doctor and was prescribed a cure for mild frostbite. He is expected to make a full recovery.

ooh and happy birthday singapore!and happy birthday to my sweetie g! the wonderful friend i have in perth :)
i just can't stop listening to this song..
my immortal - evanescence
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
i find that music is such a bit part of my life. there's always a song i can find that can describe where i am in life. i've always got to have some music playing when i'm doing things.. even at work i've always got the winamp program going. if my colleagues dont' like it, well too bad! none of them have said anything so far anyway, so i'm guess i'm in the clear. hehehhee..
i love singing. not in front of an audience, but just to get a release from things sometimes. maybe in a past life i was a famous singer! *ahem* hehe.. but who knows eh?
it's strange this affinity i have for music. i think that's one of the biggest reasons why i wanted to go into radio. of course those plans got sidetracked, but maybe one day i'll come back to it again. for now i'll just have to settle for listening to my CDs and mp3s, and singing at the top of my voice. and really that's just what i did the other night when we were at insomnia. it was great to have a band play all these songs that were a blast from the past (but not the horrible shite they call retro). i just sat there with my friends singing at the top of my lungs and having a ball of a time.
that's what music should be about!
what's your all-time favourite song?

i'm not really a country music sort of girl, but here's a song from the dixie chicks that i really like.. and the lyrics are quite sweet too.Landslides - Dixie Chicks
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too
So, take this love and take it down
Year and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
this is from an email that one of my bestest friends in perth sent to me.. you've probably read somewhere along the way before, but i still find it funny!
True Friendship - Are you tired of all those mushy "friendship" poems that always sound good but ever actually come close to reality? Well, here is a "friendship" poem that really speaks to true friendship and truth itself!
Friend, When you are sad...
I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue...
I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile...
I'll know you finally got a shag.
When you are scared...
I will take the piss every chance I get.
When you are worried...
I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and tell you to shut up.
When you are confused...
I will use little words to explain it to you.
When you are sick...
stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want to catch it.
When you fall...
I will point and laugh at you.
This is my oath... I pledge till the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend! Send this poem to five of your friends or else you will get depressed because you realize you only have two friends, and one of them is not speaking to you right now anyway.
PS. A friend will help you move house. A really good friend will help you move a body.
about me
i'm 24, a pisces, working in a magazine, sitting back and watching life go by.
