Just some random thoughts...

> I might possibly be really shallow, but I might also not be, it's up to you to decide.
> I'm tired of feeling unappreciated, is it really that difficult to say thank you once in a while?
> For some reason we never like the people who like us and vice versa, this is a major dilemma for me. *sigh*
>Update, scrap that last thought, finally someone has come along who has given me hope, it's a wonderful feeling.
> Sometimes people are mean for no good reason, it doesn't help to wonder about it. It also sometimes takes a while to realise that everybody won't like us.
> Sometimes I'm mean, or appear to be, I don't do it purposefully, but I've realised that if I don't look out for myself other people won't either.
> It's not easy letting go of people but it's often for the best.
> It doesn't help to complain about things, we all like to bitch and moan from time to time, but eventually you have to realise that nothing will change if you just sit around and whine.
> Everything is not always better when you get away from your problems, running away doesn't make the problems go away so much as it causes you to stress even more about them because you're not dealing with them.
> I think I might be too nice.
> Music can always improve your mood.
> Ryan Adams understands me even though he's never met me.
> So does John Mayer.
> I like dancing like a fool to fun music.
> I like pop music from time to time, it makes me happy.
> I often miss people, but I don't think they miss me.
> Not receiving replies to sms's and e-mails bugs the crap out of me.
> I love photographs, I'm very amateurish and should put more effort into honing my skills but I love taking pics of anything and everything.
> I'm tired of wasting my time on unimportant things and people.
> My puppy is the cutest puppy in the world and can cheer me up no matter how miserable I feel.
> You can never see too many live bands.
> You can never have too many pairs of Converse.
> You can never have too many CDs or DVDs.
> I am obssessed with the colour red.
> I talk too much.
> I think too much.
> I love random lyric quotes:

All you people are vampires, and all your stories are stale. - Arctic Monkeys
I'm not the way you think I am. - Fall Out Boy
I used to make my parents proud. - Brand New
Back down, cash out, that's the city for you. - The Academy is...
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world. - John Mayer

> I have shallow, unrealistic dreams. I don't care. They're my dreams and I'm tired of sitting around wasting my time. I don't care if I seem to be a childish, irresponsible person with strange dreams and expectations.
> I like me. :)
> The world (Pretoria especially) is too small, everybody eventually will end up knowing each other I reckon.
> People who try to sound profound usually don't have a clue what they're talking about.
> I always miss people I shouldn't miss and who don't give a damn about me.
> I miss the people who miss me too and actually give a damn about me even more!
> Sometimes, unexpectedly, we get random insights from the most unlikely people or places, it helps one to realise that you're not as alone in this world as you think you are.
> Bad grammar and spelling bother me tremendously.
> I have very little patience for people who sing along to songs but don't know the lyrics, if you don't know the words don't sing or hum, please, I beg you!


(This list will continue as my thoughts do, so expect it to be very much longer very soon)

Easter Weekend musings

The last day of a long weekend is always a bit odd because I never know if I should party hard one last time or rather spend the day recovering from the rest of the weekend.

Thursday night was very chilled- went to see Jessica one last time and as usual we spent it highly productively - eating and watching TV. I'm going to miss that crazy lady while she's in the Cape for her internship.

Friday started off bright and early, rocked up at Johnny's house and he was very delayed and pretty hungover, but kudos to him for driving us to Cokefest and back again soberly and safely. Thanks to rad navigational skills we didn't even get lost once - hells yeah, I rock :D Cokfest was pretty damn fabulous:

Positives - Jared Leto, CrashCarBurn, seeing all my peeps I hadn't seen in ages and was missing: Larry, Casey, Brett, Jessica, Jaco, Et, Da-niel, Fish and tons of usual peeps also. I love partying to bands with people who love them as much as I do, or appreciate their cheese value so don't diss me for singing and dancing along like a crazy person.

Negatives - mud, lack of beer due to long queues, lack of food, treacherous holes in ground!

All in all the Cokefest was excellent, Muse being a highlight and almost reducing me to tears during Starlight... "hold you in my arms, I just wanted to hold you in my arms..." Thank you to all my friends who have listened to my emo bitching and moaning and put up with my stupidity lately. I dunno what I'd do without you. I love you all way too much!

Saturday I got phoned by my favourite Stefan so we went to play some poker which I won. I then sushi'd with my sister Nelson and her buddies, and caused some chaos with the Lazy Susan.

Sunday turned into chaos with a less chilled picnic than we'd anticipated followed by some boardgames, cardgames, DVDs and plenty of laughter and craziness at Marlys and Karin's place. Thanks to everyone who partied with me and listens to me. Mwah!
