So here we are again and it's mid August. What has changed? Well nothing really. Same old. Laura my very beautiful sister had her eighteenth and we all celebrated profusely and with great merriment. Yay! I was very pleased to discover that she left getting id until the last minute and missed out on clubbing at the time. This doesn't upset me. I'm quite happy to know Laura's safe at home and not pub crawling. Not to say she would do that.
I have now got myspace. Miriam has moved into the 21st century. I'm enjoying finding long lost friends and wasting time chatting to people I see on a regular basis and could speak to face to face. Oh the joys of procrastination. Perhaps I should get facebook as well and I could spend my entire day dodging work on the computer. "How can you spend so much time online and not update your blog?" You ask. My response, "I really don't know."
Things I have discovered: The word big is actually quite small. Smaller than the word small. The word bigger is bigger than small, but smaller is bigger than bigger. Big is smaller than little and tiny and petite. How odd. If your confused please feel free to go back and read again, or ignore because really it's completely useless information.
The Beach Boys completely ripped off Chuck Berry songs. So disappointing. I'm currently deciding whether I still like them so much or whether I should go to the source and listen to where the original sound came from.
If you spend all day inside and don't see it get dark for several days in a row, you lose track of what day it is. Or at least I do. Currently I'm trying to get up earlier and actually get into the practice room. But this is proving an illusive task and I end up either rolling over and fall asleep or still getting the school at the same time and not doing anything. At least I'm trying. Maybe I should go to bed earlier.
I must thank you people who replied to my previous post, this was most encouraging and great reads. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. My christian word of the day: For a long time I have been desperate to get out of the country. Go and explore. Meet new people and discover new cultures. But every oppurtunity dissolved just when the crucial part of the planning arrived. I'm talking about money. Yes, poor starving uni student. What I have learned from this is that sometimes you may think it is the right time to do something but it's not God's tme and though you had all the good intentions in the world God is still saying, Woah slow down I'm in control. That's a good thing because it means that God is interested and does take the time to plan out your life, even if you don't like that plan. If I had left the country I wouldn't have gone to Baywest or MYC or Tas Con. I would never have developed the important lifelong friendships I have now and I wouldn't have grown in my walk with God. Be patient. The plan God has for you will be amazing and though it may not seem great now. Who knows what is coming up around the corner.
With that little diversion I'm off. Till next time....

It's been great to have you around. I also think overseas travel is over rated.

Mim, you are truly wonderful!! And I so get the big vs small thing - I'm sure there's a philosophical debate in that one :-P Mim, it's funny how God has worked in both of our lives like that and brought us together to share in it :-) It seems He's doing it again with me and the Queensland thing :-P Aah, I'm so glad He's in control!! :-D Lots of love my lovely friend :-) I'll see you later..

Ah, a post. Congratulations!

I'm trying to think of a witty remark, but alas, none come to mind at the moment.

Catcha.

Miriam, it has come to my attention that:
a) this is your latest post.
b) it is November.
