i hear the cotton woods, whisperin' above,

_{"tammy, tammy, tammy is in love".}

_{just an update-journal ahem, let's see what's been happening...

we lie still on your bed, the room is lit only by the telly,

and it's a perfect night for feeling melancholy.

i quit and was fired from my job.

this isn't quite as dramatic when one realises that my parents are my employers. they've been very lenient and understandably understanding about me/work/skin condition etc. but it got too much, i feel i was stuffing too many people around, and about a week ago mum and i had a chat.

the scene is set, with mother and daughter waiting in a doctor's room...

daughter: "i think i should quit."

mother: "yeah, that's a good idea."

scene fades to black.

although, due to lack of staff/such short notice, i've worked 3 shifts this week, but i'm now no longer on the roster. thankfully.

does my lover feel, what i feel, when he comes near?

my heart beats so joyfully, you would think that he could hear,

there are plans in the works for Jackson and I to go to Japan in early 2007, for a few weeks of awesome and powdery snowboarding. this'll be interesting, as i'd budgeted on having a $700-a-fortnight income, and now... well, basically, now i don't have that much income coming in. so we'll see what happens. it may work yet; i figured out i need to put $300 away a fortnight to have enough for the trip and it's costs, as well as the extra gear i still need (boots, more clothes, goggles etc), plus a bit to spend each day over there.

i can't say that you are pretty, that would make me a liar,

but you turn my legs to spaghetti, and set my heart on fire.

i've figured that i need some kind of creative output; my camera has been broken for 2 months or more, and while i haven't gotten it fixed ($$!) or bought a new one ($$$!!), i've been getting back in to vectors. so... there must be something in me that needs to get out, which i'm okay with. also, wondering if i should take up some other hobbies. Jackson was looking around for what things snowboarders do in the 'off' season. surf, mountain bike, skateboard, and there was something else i think. hmm. pity they all cost a decent wad to get the gear. except maybe skateboarding, but then again, i like having my bones intact.

and my dignity.

(i'll come running with a heart on fire)}

Hey Gaby, a mate of mine, Kate, is looking for people to teach Japanese to. Just thought you'd be interested because you're going to the country and all

That would indeed be interesting. How qualified is she?

Intact bones and dignity are over rated. Skating rules, bones heal, and dudes dig scars. I fell more last friday, in the middle of a fairly big city, than I ever have (please note that I'm still learning

), and I'll tell ya, I had a blast

! Also, if you want some new vector material I'd be glad to help you out
