who wouldn't stand inside your love?
i think this is my first blog on my new laptop, which is all silvery and pretty and light and cool. so yay. it is also my first blog since my new 'hot hair' transformed me from drab to fab. yay yay.
this easter break i have done far too little, spending more time lamenting the fact that the rest of semester--ten long weeks of assessments--is going to suck, than actually doing anything to make said semester suck a little less. unfortunately i am 110% unmotivated, with a lot of laziness thrown in. the upside is that i am so not stressed. though i dread the seemingly endless due dates all lined up and highlighted in blue (hell, it's supposed to be calming) in my kitschy little asian diary, i'm not perpetually worried like i was during what i fondly call The Longest HSC Ever (And If Not The Longest Then Definitely The Stupidest).
Last night, she said /Oh baby i feel so down...not really. last night i went to the Attic to see COL!!! COL so incredibly deserves three exclamation marks!!! it was fantabulous, as per usual. totally crowded, hot, smelly--and worth it. it's just as exciting to talk to the band members afterwards as it is to see them play. because even on their bad days they sound extremely good, and even on their bad mood days they are lovely. christian and steve are particularly friendly; very good at just walking up and being nice. simon, the drummer, is a very lovely boy. a very lovely boy whose number is now saved to my phone. :) just keeping my options open. hehe.
wishful thinking and know exit, both from victoria, also played and were tight as. this very cute girl band called randall opened the show. they were good in a 'good on them getting up there, coz they're chicks and chicks don't have a big enough presence in the band thing, despite the fact that they're not that good it was ok coz they have a bit of potential' kinda way. nah but all props to them. they were gutsy.
i set today aside to finish off my MECO news story which i have been researching off and on (ok, more off) these last two weeks. it's due tomorrow afternoon, so i figured worst-case scenario, i had a good few hours in the morning to write it frantically.
so you can imagine my surprise when i looked up at the clock after cutting my draft down to 406 words: 10.30....am. so rockin!! "yes," i thought, "now i can clean my room and do the washing!" woot woot woot, as TGS would say. woot.
tonight church was really good. we had matt olliffe come as a special guest, and his sermon...well, whenever he speaks, i leave the service inspired to be a missionary because he has a really strong global evangelistic perspective and is always ready to challenge each member of the congregation to be more active in god's big plan. it's not unforseeable that i complete my degree (at the end of 2008), do honours in history or english or something (2009), and then... i'll be 24...i could go to bible college for a year or two (or more?). by that stage i will have found a wonderful man who is my equal in everything, and we will get married and do mission overseas? even without the wonderful man it's certainly more than possible that mission could be my future. a scary and exciting prospect.
sounds gracing my eardrums: the go-gos, head over heels
