Lovely

I have a couple of blogs marked on my bookmarks toolbar. I visit them quite regularly, and quite often find glorious little snippets of sunshine. These are just a few I have encountered on my travels:

"Windows and doors are flung wide as summer seeps into the house. We sit on the back stoop as the sun fades. Stars come out, our feet amongst the cool grass, the air like a warm blanket. Galaxies shift and grow. Quiet words hang in the air, unrushed."

She said she usually cried at least once a day
not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful
and life was so short

"you're the smell before rain, you're the blood in my veins."

I've saved them in a Word document called "Nice" and when I feel lonely or uninspired, I go and read them, and I'm cured. Also, my phone (which wasn't of the highest quality anyway) has decided to go whacko on me, so I am now using my old Motorola one. Y'know the ones that cost like.. $50, and you got with Coke wrappers? Yeah... one of those. And it's buttons are so much used that all the numbers and symbols are rubbed off. We have a love/hate relationship, it's quite nice really.

Also, I have found out that both Jamie T, and Lady Sovereign are coming to Australia in like.. Septemberish time. And once again, the HSC ruins my life. Another love/hate relationship there. I love some of the things I am doing such as my Extension 2 English major work, and sometimes (dare I admit it) I even enjoy studying, but I hate the exams and pressure and stress. All for marks that are within my reach, yet I don't have enough dedication to work to achieve them.
