Today my cousin found me on facebook. thing is, I haven't seen her or her brothers/sister in literally about 8 years. It's crazy. So crazy we started a facebook IM and couldn't think of hardly anything to say but hi, how are you etc.
I'm very weirded out right now. but in a good way.
Tonight, Elf is showing on tv. It feels weird because Elf is a christmas movie, but christmas is still two months away!
But apart from that fact, it has gotten me extremely excited for christmas! so I have made a list of all my reasons for loving the christmas season - christmas carols (my favourite is 'baby it's cold outside') - christmas lights/displays - gingerbread houses - family - christmas movies (the family stoneeeee!) - laaaaate night shopping right before christmas - my brother's birthday (on christmas day!) - my birthday a week before! - buying and giving presents - receiving presents isn't so bad either :) - the overall joyous feeling - decorations
Today the rain is coming down hard and fast and I wish I could just jump back in bed and cuddle up under the covers with my book. Triple J right at this second is playing an amazing jazz song by James Brown called It's a Man's Man's World which just adds to the urge. Instead I am about to go dance around in a leotard and tights (and maybe legwarmers today) in a ballet studio. Have a good day!
Yesterday I saw Short Stack! Yayayayayayayyaay. It was pretty exciting, last time they were relatively close to brisbane (gold coast, indyfest last year) I couldn't make it, so finally seeing them live was great. Even with the absense of any friends to go with! Lucky for me however, I ran into some friends - Rain and after short stack had played, my good old friends from when I was at school, Rob and Jake. That was pretty epic, seeing them. I haven't seen Rob since the end of last year and Jake since about half way through last year. It was good to see my boys again. and Rain of course! Anyway, we saw, sang, shimmied, danced, yelled, talked, waited in line, met, got stuff signed, hugged and left. Short but sweet :)
I forgot to take my camera, so I couldn't take any photo's, but Rain let me get a photo of me and short stack on her camera :) so here's a pic of the boys to have a squizz at
