melbourne still

SO SELF-CENTRED AM i at the moment, that i somehow managed to convince myself that the title of the waifs' song "london still" was actually "melbourne still"...it's not. but if it was it would neatly describe how i'm feeling.

after the excitement of spending hundreds of dollars in a matter of minutes on friday, there's been a bit of a reality check going on in terms of all the stuff i need to do before i go - including six interminable weeks of telstra's fluorescent-and-grey version of hell that lie before me which, without sqodger's exotic breakfast feasts (today's is tofu with coconut & lime salsa, fig jam and peppered cucumber!!), would surely be fatal.

and everyone seems to think i should be more excited about going o/s than i am. but the truth is, i AM excited, dagnabbit!! i've just had a bit of a nasty infection over the weekend (now much better, spanks) and well, you know that whole falling out with a friend thing; it's never much fun, especially when it's two friends at once.

but today, i must say, started very nicely. apart from the nasty business of waking up, which has never been my forte, an early morning bike ride to lygon street for coffee with nywf vollie & vibewire extraordinaire sarah was just what i needed - yet didn't know it - gracious and grateful spanks to yooo, sarah!!

and tonight...? off to meet my space boy which should be interesting, to say the least!

today smells like: freshly mown grass
