Cliche please?

I find myself wishing for the most beautiful love story to unfold right before me. I want it to stop. I don't like wanting a love story, it isn't fun! It's disappointing, and distracting, and not to mention a completely rediculous and unneccissarily romantic way to waste time. ugh.

Two Delicious Combinations

Combo #1.

Lemonade, Tropical Juice and Cranberry Juice.

You add lemonade first, then the troppo juice and lasty the cranberry juice, that way you get to watch the whole drink turn pink.
For the best tasting drink you should do it like my picture. It's delicious.



Combo #2.
It'a a new spin on the good ol' tiger toast. Insteas of toast you use two bits of rice cakes, and instead of tasty cheese yu use MERSEY VALLEY original cheese. If you don't use this cheese then you haven't experienced combo #2.
You have to spread vegemite on one rice cake (be sparing) and cheese on he other and then press them together to make a delux rice cake with vegemite and cheese filling. It's so damn good!

P.S I Love You

I love it when something suddenly makes you think, I know God exists because something this beautiful could never have happened by accident.
I've noticed this often happens to me when I do something out of routine. This time it was my camping trip to Hallidays Point with my friends.
Last night I saw the moon rise over the sea, it was a beautiful orange, and I don't usually relate the words beautiful and orange, but it was brilliant. I was able to lay in the sand on an empty beach in the middle of the night and look at the stars, I stared right into our galaxy, and I knew it didn't happen by accident. I was able to talk to a friend about the big life questions, the ones normal people dont know the answers to, she is seeking answers to these questions, unfortunately the answers I have dont interest her, which made me wonder, as i was looking at the magnificance of the universe, how can anyone look up at the night sky and not be convinced that there is a God?!
I climbed to a peak with my friends and viewed the ocean from a point higher and probably more dangerous than I've ever been in my life, and I lived! That was testament enough to me that He lives.
There are small things too, that remind me. There's the perfect weather we've had for the three days I booked for camping, or the fact that I didn't get dunked by the huge waves at the beach today while I was on the float, then I handed it to my friend who copped it straight away. Little things people might call luck, that I call blessings.
My mid week weekend camping trip provided me not only with fun adventures with my friends, but also with a rejuvinated love for the gospel and the comfort it gives me.

I Love Words.

Yeats speaks a language I wish was constantly running through my head. Yeats speaks of unrequited love, of heroics, of despair and redundancy, but my most favourite "Yeats Moment" has to be "Aedh Wishes For The Clothes Of Heaven."

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

He writes of my two favourite things, love and dreams. Love enough to give all you have to someone, not wealth or material but even more valuable, dreams. What is a person without a dream? What is a person without love? Where is that love, the one you'd give anything for? Where is the Maude Gonne to my Yeats (without the rejection, of course.)?

Words allow me to question things bigger than my own life, and then use the answers to solve my own problems. They take me out of my own head and make me feel better when nothing else can. Nothing makes me happier than a well put together sentance that makes me think about my perceptions of the world. Yeats does it to me, the movie Dead Peots Society does it. Michael Marshall and Robert Frost are brilliant at making me rethink.

I like quotes that make me question whether or not they actually make sense, for example;

I do beleive though I have found them not, that there may be words which are things.
- Lord Byron (Childe Harold's Pilgrimage)

How can words be things? Can an object be a word as well, a word is just a representation of a thing, is there an overlap? Does this quote mean anything??

Words calm me. Especially words that allow me to sort myself out.

Brilliant IT Crowd Quotes.

The only reason you wouldn't laugh out loud if you watched the IT Crowd is if you:
a) Have a terrible sense of humour.
b) Can't laugh.
c) Can't relate to nerds.

The best of the best IT Crowd quotes:

Moss: I can't go to prison Roy, They'll rape the flip outta me!

Moss: I wanna go back to being weird, that's all I got, that and my sweet style."

Roy: [answers phone] Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? ... OK, well, the button on the side. Is it glowing? ... Yeah, you need to turn it on. Err, the button turns it on. Yeah, you do know how a button works, don't you? No, not on clothes.
[Moss's phone rings. He answers it.]
Moss: Hello IT. Yuhuh. Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?
Roy: No, there you go, I just heard it come on. No, that's the music you hear when it comes on. No, that's the music you hear when... I'm sorry, are you from the past?

Roy: How do you know about this site?
Moss: Oh, I'm a member.
Roy: Really? You do the whole Lonely Hearts thing?
Moss: I'm a 32 year old IT-man who works in a basement. Yes, I do the whole Lonely Hearts thing!

Roy: [singing] We don't need no education.
Moss: Yes you do. You've just used a double negative.

Roy: If anyone was ever rude to me, I used to carry their food around in my trousers.
Jen: Oh my God! Before you brought it to their table?
Roy (sarcastically): No, after. OF COURSE BEFORE! Why would I do it after?
Roy: While he was eating, did you hear anyone laughing? Like... in the kitchen area.
Jen: Yes! Yes I did, actually, yes I did.
Roy: That'll be trouser food.

Jen: OK. Moss, what did you have for breakfast this morning?
Moss: Smarties cereal.
Jen: Oh my God. I didn't even know Smarties made a cereal.
Moss: They don't. It's just Smarties in a bowl with milk.

Richmond: You know how suggestible and easily swayed IT people are.
Roy: That's not true
Richmond: Yes, is.
Roy: You're right. Of course is.

Party Ring

I learned today that every girl needs a party ring. This is mine...

A party ring is supposed to capture your essance, and immortalise it in a piece of jewellery.


So this is me if I were a ring.

See the similarity?
