I’m sitting here at the computer (completely obvious thing to say) at 7:11am, listening to Lauren’s Chill Out cd. It really is chill out music… it’s even got my favourite summer chill out song – Kinobe “slip into something more comfortable”. It’s also got the song from American Beauty, from when they’re watching the plastic bag dancing in the wind. That song never fails to make me feel melancholy… but not a bad melancholy, a good melancholy… if that makes sense.
Anyway, the reason I am able to listen to one of Lauren’s cds is because she showed up at the door on friday afternoon. She never told anyone she was coming down. She’s going back tomorrow (monday) cause she still has to work christmas day, but that’s okay. We’ll see her after christmas. I’m not sure of the exact day she’s coming home, but that doesn’t matter. she’ll be coming home and it’ll be fun ^_^.
She said she’s going to get me a tattoo for my 19th birthday, if I still wanted one. I think i’ll get one. I read something that leunig wrote in his calender, which mum photocopied from her work, where he described life as a holiday, and you go back home at the end of the holiday (which i guess could be heaven) anyways, he said that your body would be your home for the duration of your holiday, and that many people add personal touches to make it feel more like them, more a reflection of the person inside the body. So I figure that’s a cool way of looking at it, I’m just adding a personal touch to my body. I will have to think long and hard about it though. The original idea was for me to get the chinese character for ‘courage’, just a little tiny one on my shoulder, or the back of my neck. somewhere inconspicuous. I’ve got a while to think about it – my birthday isn’t until april next year.
I’d best be off, we’re all going to grafton today for some shopping. not sure if I will actually go, but i’ll get ready so the decision can be made without the stress of me not being ready to go anyway. I don’t really like going to grafton when I can’t afford to buy anything, and i really need some new clothings. i need new singlet tops, and t shirts, and shorts or long shorts.
xxxooo
ps. watched swordfish last night, i didn’t intend on staying up as late as i did, but it was such a good movie… i recommend it to anyone and everyone… very interesting.
