I realise I haven't updated this in a fair while. Seems like the thing to do...

*thinks*

So, currently at this moment, my black dog has retreated back to its corner and is sleeping soundly.
This is great news for me! it gives me more time to think about positive things and not have to worry about my black dog wanting to attack me. all I can say to my black dog named Mopokey is:

stay mopokey, stay....

So, in the spirit of having time to think about positive things.... here are ten things I love right now.

1- My friends and family.
Yes, yes, I know, I go on and on about how much I love them. And that's because I do! Whenever I'm feeling kinda crappy, I just talk to somebody and they make me feel great! just hanging out and doing nothing is one of the most fun things ever.

2- Swedish bands
Right now, I have been really into a few Swedish bands. Bands like Jeniferever, Audrey, Scraps of tape, Immanu El and EF. I dunno, there is something about the bands from this country. I get images of sitting by the fire on cold winter nights and warm hugs when I listen to them. I advise everyone to look these bands up!

3 - Ice tea and herbal tea
I dont know what it is, but I just cant stop drinking the stuff! When I am at tafe, I am always drinking Lipton Ice tea. My classmates always laugh about it. and when I get home, I am always drinking Chamomile tea or Licorice tea. I just bought some White tea and I also got some rosehip tea. I dunno, maybe my body is missing some nutrients...

4 - Going to Tafe
this is the complete opposite of the last time I tried to study art. I always kinda dreaded going there.. but this time is different. I actually look forward to it, I am doing alright at my work, the people in my class are lovely people, my teachers are great and I am generally having a great time! I am kinda bummed that I have a month holidays coming up. I will miss my class! hehehe

5 - watching tv
I usually don't watch much tv. I really don't! I dunno, I just don't find it that exciting. but recently, I have been having fun watching that damn thing. I love just lying on the couch, snuggling with my dog and watching the idiot box.... on which I often watch Documentaries... so its more like the "smart.... ummm... person... box.... thingie..." *shifty eyes*

6 - Blueberry bagels
I frigging love bagels. Especially Blueberry ones. with cream cheese... oh man, they are awesome... I want one like, RIGHT NOW!!! *drools*

7 - Riding the bus
I really love riding the bus! *stupid grin* I do, its kinda like my chill-out time. I love listening to music and watching the scenery go past. Its often the same scenery I pass, seeing as I am always on the same bus. but different times of day, different weather, its always changing and I just love it.

8 - People complimenting my art
I never used to like that. I often felt like they were kinda taking the piss or being sarcastic. but now, I got over that and I really enjoy when people tell me I have done well. it makes me feel that what I do is worth it

9 - Local music
Its really awesome! I went my favourite local venue, "the oxford tavern" last week to see Lumiere, when the world sleeps and a sydney band called sleepmakeswaves. I think its great that there are bands around here that play music I love. and to top it all off, they are lovely people! GO LISTEN TO THEM NOW! [link]
I cant wait till Lumiere release their CD. (i designed the cover, by the way... and I will post it here when the album is out... not that I am biased by this, I genuinely can't wait to play their music whenever I want!)

10 - you
for reading this! thanks this makes me happy!

Lots of love and all that good stuff!
