her name was kirstin...
in the process of 'organizing' my apartment yesterday for the upcoming move, i stumbled across an unopened letter i had written to my self 5 years ago. decided yesterday was as good as any day to take a peek. glad i did. was cool to be reminded by a younger, more idealistic (sob) me about what really matters... scary how easy it is to get lost.

new lesson just learned - don't surf mid-post as it will disappear! was just commenting on my absence and the 'busy me' that caused it. i feel like i've returned from somewhere - like i was lost in too much thought/stuff for awhile. i'm back. and, just in time to start getting ready for the big move. new home, new neighbourhood. gonna miss my place and the surrounding area, but feeling very positive about this next step. i think me and my new roomie will get along just fine...

had a nice little ramble yesterday (home sick with not much else to do), but my computer crashed (shocking!) and it was lost. was basically commenting on another weekend away - this time on the beautiful sunshine coast, which true to it's name, provided hours of glorious sunniness… these weekends away are spoiling me - my week is starting to feel like just a means to the weekend :) however, regular consumption of beer on various patios throughout the week will hopefully alter this attitude (did i mention that i *love* the summer…?)… have also started to re-consider my 'city-ness' - starting to think that a simpler existence could be the real road to happiness… and, isn't that the ultimate goal??

not quite as sunny today, but hoping to get back there...had a *bad* start to the day - actually ran out of gas! didn't think that actually happened, especially on one's way to work. was taking 'the chariot' cause i hit snooze too many times and would've missed the bus - ended up being even later...lesson learned.

ani + a partE + amazing friends + 'fast' shoes + an island getaway with this guy i know = pure bliss. still feeling sunny...

wow - what a long monday...and i'm still in it (ie. still at work) - my punishment for enjoying the sunshine this weekend, but, oh so worth it. it was way too incredible outside yesterday to hang out here - not that my hungover self would have been capable of much anyway. in fact, starting to feel incapable now - think it's time to call it quits...

ok...slightly clearer than last night, but not entirely. rather than going to work i think i'm gonna accomplish something even more daunting - the finding and buying of the bridesmaid dresses. cool to be able to pick out what i want, but harder than one would imagine, especially now that the wedding is less than a month. and must do this quickly so that i can fit in the required saturday afternoon nap, especially with tonight being girls/'jake' daniels night and all - have to break from lameness! we start hanging out with guys and just look what happens :) hopefully we can redeem ourselves...

my name is willis and i'm hanging out in new west (imagine accompanying soundtrack). actually i've ventured into the world of guy for the night - where the lighter is tied to the coffee table with a string and you say things like "hey muthafuckah" to each other... we're drinking beer and have agreed to a smackdown challenge...but first we'll watch eyes wide shut...

so it was more like six cigarettes, plus half a bottle of wine and two cadbury cream eggs - not my finest moment, but, heh, i felt entitled (for whatever reason)... now i'm back at work, facing even more work and with even less of an attention span. experiencing major friday-ness. looking forward to a night of chilling with this guy i know, finishing the bottle of wine and watching iron chef. oh, the simple pleasures of a 24 year old geriatric...

ok, so i understand that m@ was making fun of my poor, neglected blog...some of us work in 'open-concept' work spaces you know! however, the last of my work mates just left and i'm here alone with a massive pile of (real) work to do and zero attention span. and for some reason i keep thinking it's friday... thinking i won't be staying long. especially since i just experienced some kind of hallucination (?!) in the bathroom. seriously - little silver flashes of light everywhere. hmmm... ok - even this is feeling difficult. thinking it's time to go home, be a renegade and have a cigarette and get my weekly dose of y&r - yep, that's what i'm gonna do...
