ordinary radicalism

I am inspired:

• to be uncomfortable so that someone else can be comfortable.
• to do more than just put money into a jar to help kids that I'll never meet.
• to look after the people in my own backyard.
• to pay a little bit more so that the person at the bottom of the ladder can do more than survive

Still have yet to finish Shane Claiborne's The Irresistable Revolution. I'm sure I can learn so much more!

nothing is original

easily my favourite song/video at the moment

when my blood flows into the drain in the middle of the floor

Today I found myself sitting on the edge of my bed, hugging Tigger with tears streaming down my face with no apparent reason (even to myself). A few days ago, I caught myself wondering what will happen if I swallowed more than the prescribed dose of panadol.

The only reason I'm not dead right now is because I have too much to live for.

Expectations of life, I guess.

crash worthy

Do you know of the supercheap auto ad that gives you advise about how you're sitting in your car?

Well, apparently the right leg needs to rest against the door and the left against the middle bit (I don't know what it's called). I tried it while in my car this afternoon and guess what? If I had my leg against the door, my foot can't reach the pedal and with the other leg against the middle bit, it feels like I'm trying to do the splits while driving.

That advise was so great, I might actually try it while driving.

s.o.s.

I'm getting impatient again.

HELP!

Oh how I wish I could just smash everything into oblivion
when the subject of my heart's desire
is so far out of reach

music & personality

According to BBC news, I am lazy, rough, introverted, have low self esteem, but quite creative.

the music was not too loud

// All I could here all night was a highpitched ditzy voice:

"I'm not a tightarse, but..."

"Oh, look at this picture! I have it as my profile photo!"

"Are you sure I've got his CD? I thought you bought it....no, I definitely have it"

"I like this song."

"And this song."

"And this song."

All though the gig! Sigh. Some people have no courtesy. //

long night, hold tight

Take this heart,
it and all these scars

i love people who make me laugh

// The podiatrist I work with wrote me a sick certificate today. That was because he didn't want to catch a cold. He gave me the week off. // Three guys were blocking the aisle I was walking through. At the last possible second (just before I said excuse me), they stepped back and said sorry simultaneously. // There were two boys at the grocery store that were touching everything much to the chagrin of their father. While waiting at the deli, the spinned each other around until they both fell to the ground, dizzy. //
