All We Know Is Falling

So yeah, I may have taken that title from somewhere.
But hey. It works.
On a couple of levels.
In case you didn't know, I really hate change.
Absolutely abhor it.
In most cases.

And apparently I'm in for a bit of it over the next little while and I'm a little worried as to how it'll all go.
ALSO I feel like a disappointment to Stacey because I didn't blog about our epic fun Monday night last week, or about our epic fun trip to Croydon, the vet, and Vickie's on Thursday.

But they were fun.
And I love Stacey.
Epically.

Stuff changes.
We'll see how much it all changes I guess.
Also there's someone I need to talk to.


Wish
me
luck.

Metallic Bonding

No. Nothing to do with chemistry.
This post is dedicated to the large silver chunk of metal currently occupying our driveway, otherwise known as the Peugeot.
Of the last thirty-two hours, I have spent about three or so behind the wheel.
Sure, I've driven almost a hundred hours in that car over the last twenty one months.
But I was thinking, today, as I drove down the highway, how much I appreciate this car, despite how awful it is.
I know, I already blogged about it awhile ago.
But this is different.
I forget how, but I did actually have other things to say.
Okay.
For example.
The odometer currently reads...(I think) one hundred and forty eight thousand, six hundred and fifty.. or thereabouts.
This is complete crap of course, and there is possibility that the car has actually travelled two or three times that.
But still. It behaves nicely most of the time, apart from getting a little too warm quite often.
Despite having been driven for twenty three years.
I have to admit I had fun with the roundabouts that are randomly in the middle of (I think..) the South Gippsland Highway, the signs recommend 40km/h, I may have been slightly exceeding that.
However, getting the car back up to 100km/h again is... difficult.
Oh, funny though. I did impress myself today.
Set of lights in Cranbourne, three lanes that merge back to two after the lights.
I was in the middle lane, a few hundred metres from the lights. There was this guy, some P-plater who I'd been behind for AGES, in the left lane. Only like, one other car there. So the lights go green, and I'm like, okay, it's worth a go.
Swing out into the left lane, give it a bit of a kick (almost enough to convince the car not to shift to 2nd, which is a very bad thing), managed to get in front of almost all the cars (most importantly, the slow van with a trailer on it (Y) ) and ended up behind the P-plater again.
In fact, I was behind him all the way until the Monash Freeway turn off. Haha, I reckon he would have thought I was following him. For sure.
I sort of was, but more for fun, to amuse myself.
SO yes. The car had to put up with my game. But I was nice, I swear I kept my eye on the temperature gauge the whole trip... probably spent more time looking at it than I did the speedo, or the road for that matter. Haha.
Nah. It was a good drive though. But very uninteresting, no fun winding roads, just straight, one-hundred-kays-an-hour freeway.
Roadworks though, down to eighty. Sixty for awhile, which was very hard after doing one hundred for such a long time.
But I tell you, eighty is a lovely placid speed to drive at, the car and I both appreciated it a lot I think.
And, also. As we left this morning, Bev remarked that it has a nice purr, and I was so proud. Haha. It does, when it's behaving.

***
I LOVE BLOGGER.
My stupid Firefox decided to crash, I think for only the second time EVER.
And I thought I lost my whole post.
BUT NO!
It saves drafts. Haha.
How amazingly useful.


Anyway.. I think I've exhausted most of what I can say about this wagon which seems to have become quite important to me.
Sure, it's not the most important thing in my life, not by a long shot.
But I'd miss it,
If
it
was
gone.

Recently hilarious things that are worth blogging about...

-yesterday Mirko ran into a door
-yesterday also, Stacey and I started making anagrams with our names.. including "'Yes it can' mart" and "Yes I C man tart" AND combined, "Tor is Jeanne fat? Yes"
-again yesterday, Stace and I made some weird smoothie with guava juice, ice, icecream and fruit
-yesterday.. Stace: "How do we make a smoothie?" Me: "I dunno." Stace: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! You work at a smoothie place!"
There are more, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall which we watched yesterday. That was awkward but absolutely hilarious.
Ahh. We are going to Philip Island today, and I am of the opinion that the car needs an oil change first.. so I may just go and do that.
Woo!

Twenty eight days later...

In twenty eight days, I will have finished all my exams.

The end.

Twenty one days until they begin, and twenty eight days until they are gone.

Which reminds me of a song.

Conor Oberst: NYC-Gone, Gone

Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?

Down, down to Mexico City
Got myself a lady, she know how to treat me
Down, down to Mexico City
Got myself a lady to lay me down, lay me down

All my friends, want you to know
I'm gonna miss you when I go
But I'll see you down the road
Meet me at the station way down low, way down low

Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?

Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?

I
EPI-CLOVE

song.

Friday I'm In Love

Contrary to the title, I think this is one of the most boring Friday nights ever.
I had school revision sessions today at Croydon, and then Vickie and I were at Eastland which was fun as!
However, this evening.. seems to be rather a let down.
It's Dad's birthday, which isn't bad at all but currently it's 11pm so not a lot is happening.
Everyone else bar Mum and Dad are asleep.
No one is online - or at least no one is talking to me.
And...the people I've been wanting to talk to for like..days... are still not here!
EPICLAME.

I have a chiro appointment in the morning, so I should sleep soon.
OH BUT ONE REALLY COOL THING HAPPENED TODAY.
I bought a bloody awesome tie with skulls on it. Just little ones.
Yay!
Flick will be proud. I haven't shown her yet.

But I will!!

Yay.

Today..
wasn't
so
bad.
=)
