What would one do without them?
They seem to miraculously know when you need some support, and appear out of the blue to try and cheer you up.
It might not be intentional, but they're always good at making me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

A return trip to the past
Yesterday, I had a strong urge to revisit the past. Fortunately, should this be a criminal act, what I did probably would not have yet constituted attempt.
I did, however, go all the way in retelling the past. For the last time, so I vow to myself.
The past should be left where it belongs - in the past. Look ahead!

Destructive procrastination
I've resorted to making scars on my face rather than to start uni work.
Help.
Help.

To like and to love
"Like can turn to love but seldom love to like."
-- P. K. Shaw
If this were true, is it not inevitable that we all have more than one love?

A question of etiquette?
If a construction worker, loitering with his mates, says in a half-seedy manner, "Oh hello, beautiful!", what's the appropriate response?
Smile politely? Or give him a dirty?

Dreams
How much are dreams a reflection of reality?
Do they indicate the thoughts and feelings of the conscious self? Or are they merely creative fabrications of the unconscious mind, triggered, thus related, to experiences whilst awake?
Were I to be unsure of my own thoughts and feelings, could I use my dreams as a reliable guide?
Despite all these questions, one thing is for sure. Those scrumptuous fries I tasted last night - Maccas doesn't really sell them in real life!

Yet another jab
From "Bondi: Sydney's tart" All Men are Liars (27 Aug 2009):

Actor Anthony LaPaglia joined the jeering a few weeks back when he labelled Bondi as "skanky", saying the beach "was starting to feel a bit like Kings Cross by the sea".
Having lived in both suburbs , I don't know which set of residents should be more offended but seeing as LaPaglia hails from Adelaide and considers part-ownership of Sydney FC a sound investment, I won't worry too much about the quality of his judgment.

A sudden craving
I was at my computer when I suddenly felt a craving for orange juice with honey. So I got to work.
The cup has honey in it, so all I had to do was to squeeze the juice out!
20 minutes later, voila!
OK so maybe it was a waste of time, and a big mess. But it was fun!
And mmm~ It's delicious!

Failure to focus (what's new?)
How did I fool myself in thinking that I would be working productively during this 2-hour break?
I'm at the Merewether computer labs to "work on law assignment". Distractions can neatly fall under the heading of easy internet access: fb, email, fb, blogger, fb, guy-next-to-me's-fb..
In my defence I have jotted down a few ideas re conspiracy and whatnot.
Wait I lie. Easy internet access isn't the only thing I can blame. Guy-next-to-me's-deliciously-smelling-peanut-butter-ricecake-sandwichy-thing is having quite an effect on my olfactory system. It's also triggered my stomach to remind me of its existence.

Introducing...
Andrewbear!
I seem have become a lot more reliant on Andrewbear these days. I've decided to give him a rest and tuck him in with my school jumper.
I still stand by my argument that he bears an uncanny resemblance to his namesake!

The origins
I've decided to integrate my new-found addiction to pumpkin seeds with my newly-revived interest in blogging.
