You know those really special times when you can honestly say you felt happy and at peace with the world? It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then we are reminded of those times, and it makes us smile

I’m listening to a song at the moment, originally by Belinda Carlisle but beautifully remixed by Slinkee Minx – Summer Rain. It reminds me of the 1st of January this year, at Home Nightclub. Adam unfortunately went home early, and it had been a STINKING hot day in the city. Shortly after he went home however, this huge storm rolled in over Darling Harbour, and brought a fine misty rain and light show with it. Also about that time, the main Arena inside the club absolutely went off with this song, with 6 tanned shirtless boys dancing together on stage and a beach ball bouncing around somewhere underneath the lasers.

For some reason, that image has always stayed with me throughout this year to cheer me up. Some people reading this will remember tha party.. their experience may have been different I remember going out on the balcony with my friends James, Jared and Ben, smoking and talking shit whilst cooling off in the fine mist that was blowing in. For me, that was heaven.

I’m not sure why I bring it up now… I’ve been feeling pretty low lately and have been looking on ways to improve my mood and get me motivated to finish off this semester, and uni for good. I’ve managed to get myself into a very unproductive rut that’s proving rather difficult to get out of. So I’ve been stretching my mind to see what would motivate me. The thought of graduating – being out in the Main Quadrangle at Sydney Uni with my two testamurs… that would be good. Actually being FREE of this burden next year if I complete it now… even better! I would love to be able to reclaim my social life and have a few more nights like NYD.

Anyway, Adam’s home now so I’m gunna go pounce him… ‘later!

I’m on night 2 of my 6 night run of night shifts. I still haven’t done any study… I would have tonight, but TV 1 was running a Stargate SG-1 Marathon. Season, 6, with that uber-hottie Jonas Quinn, played by Colin Nemec, who was a secret obsession of mine until I found out tonight that he was another Scientologist. Grrrr !

Things have been very busy, as per usual, but I seem to be surviving. All hopes of a social life have gone out the window, and I console myself in the fact that it will all be over soon, and if I survive this year, I will be able to survive anything. Of course, the hectic lifestyle means that our house is in a complete mess, although I made a deal with Adam that he won’t nag me about my smoking if I hire a maid. $50 / fortnight for a fat old Greek woman to give me peace of mind. Of course, Adam thinks he’s going to get a 20-something hot Peurto Rican boy…. *evil grin*.

And on that front, things seem to be going well, which is surprising considering how high-strung I am and how busy the both of us are with our lives. 2.3 years on, and we’re still disgustingly sappy and couply, and I like it.

I should really keep this updated a little more often… my Dad told me the other day that he read all the way through Volacious.net.au and even left a comment! Now that’s freaky.

I’m still itching for a chance to take my beautiful Subaru for a drive out to Bathurst so I can test out its legs on the mountains. Sadly though that probably won’t happen for another month or two. Even during uni holidays, I’m likely to be starting thesis work at Avaya. So really… am looking forward to the end of the year! I got a letter from HR the other day outlining the impact that the new IR laws have on my working conditions. Only change is I get an extra week’s Annual leave… so yay!

I’d really like to catch up with everyone once the madness dies down… it can get a little lonely out in the burbs, and a good night out once all this is over will be well and truly deserved.

‘later gators!
