I love the waves lapping around my feet, the smell of roses as winter comes to an end, wind on my face, smiling, laughing, being cuddled, racing down supermarket isles on the back of a trolley, being able to play a favourite song again and again and again, memories, photographs, the colour purple...and blue and pink and red, my beautiful and ever amazing friends, things that aren't normal, wrestling on the floor with Boo, watching a sunset, the feeling of sand between my toes, flying, mexican food, having paintbrushes between my teeth, behind my ears, in my ponytail and anywhere else I can find room for them while I'm painting, surprises, learning, love, new places, the build-up to going to a new place, having absolutely nothing better to do on a hot summers day than to lay in the grass or in a pool, things that seem magical, the smell of toast burning early on a hot summers morning, climbing...anything, the sight of puppies trying to run, a hot chocolate with marshmellows in front of a fire in the middle of winter, talking about random crap, building sandcastles with my nieces and nephews, riding horses, having the time to curl up with a good book, looking for four-leaf-clovers in the grass, Pear Drops, delving into a world I create when I'm writing, the smile that appears at the memories whenever I go through photo's, standing outside as the cool change finally comes through after days of sweltering heat, listening to and watching someone play the guitar, starting random conversations with random people, when the people I'm trying to draw look real enough to be alive, knowing random crap that will never be of any use to me, laying outside watching a movie, music pumping through my body, desk chair races around my dads place, the fact I'm alive to experience all these with my loved ones.

Heroes
Hero is a strong word and one I feel should be reserved for the likes of Nelson Mandela and others who have done immense amounts of good for many.
I do however have high respect and appreciation for those around me, my mum, dad, Chris and others who stand by me on a day to day basis, carry me when I'm down and bring light into my life...my esoteric heroes.
About me:
I am somewhat random, there is little that doesn't fascinate me at some point and I'll string these moments of fascination together in no particular order. I have bipolar-esque mood swings, and I love them, chances are if I'm in a bad mood I'll be fine in half an hour or so....just try to keep up with me.
I love being a big sister, I love being a little sister, I love my gigantic family and that they're all so different. I love strange people, they're more fun. I love friends and the moments that you can find yourself in with them that are totally unexpected. I love Chris, he's my sanity and, inversly, the one who'll have me in the most bizarr, elated moods.
The moon and the stars fascinate me, I'd look at them forever if I could, I curse living so close to the city that most are obscured by light. I love climbing trees, I love swimming in the ocean, I don't like it when waves break unexpectedly, I love strolling through an art gallery and sitting captivated by one piece forever. I love anything loud, loud music, thunderstorms, explosions in movies in high-def surround sound, fireworks! I love dancing to loud music despite being terrible at it.
I'm very easily distracted, I'll often change coversations midway if I discover something more interesting, I have the attention span of a knat and don't have a problem with this.
I'm a deep thinker. Sometimes. I'll have moments of profound revelations which will disappear in a flash unless by some miracle I'm able to notate it in that instant. On other occasions I'm about as deep as a puddle, the one the Vicar of Dibbly jumped into anyway.
I'll frequently site pop-culture despite the fact the shows I watch are somewhat obscure and most people think I'm a twit.
I love having the time to curl up with a good book, or a movie or have a chance to try and learn the guitar...I think we're onto attempt 35 at this point. I love to paint though few canvases are ever finished, I love to draw, doodle, sketch or painstakingly fill in minute detail onto the latest portrait that falls into my hands.
I love black. No I'm not emo and no I'm not goth, I just like it. I also like pink, red and purple if that sets your mind at ease...yes I'm an utter girl.
I love it when my hair does what it's meant to, I love headbands and pins, they are the solution to any bad hair day, I love hair products which make my curls behave as they are supposed to.
If you've got this far...well done.
Who I'd like to meet: People who aren't afraid to live and those who have overcome the odds Sigrid Thornton Gough Whitlam Ian McKellen Leonardo da Vinci Stephen Hawking Max Ehrmann
Yes, we are definitely going - mum just has to RSVP I think :)
When are you next free? I can do nearly all Sundays on a weekend - Saturday I have work and it's like, right in the middle of the day - though I probably could change that.
AND...
I just thought I should tell you...
I GOT 86% ON A TRIGONOMETRY MATH TEST!!! It's like, one of my highest percentages ever :)
I've been looking up movies on the net and 'Hancock' with Will Smith looks pretty good, and so does 'You Don't Mess With The Zohan' with Adam Sandler. What do you think?
Mum said that you don't have to call her - she just said that I have to tell her what movie we're seeing, when & where - and it will probably have to be M15+ or so - but it depends really on the content. :S

A woman has strengths that amaze me. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burden. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying. She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional. There's only one thing wrong with her and that is that sometimes she forgets what she is worth. Pass this onto every beautiful woman you know, I just did.
hey babe I just wanted to pop in n say hello I haven’t spoken or seen u in ages so ill thought id be nice And say hello lol How u been?? Hope things are well
