Absence

Howdy!

It's been a while. I don't know why I don't have that much to blog about these days. My days have just been work, work and work. Not so many interesting stories, and now that I'm reading, I've cut out all the pensive time I used to have.

The finale of Australia's Next Top Model was on tonight. I'm glad she won. I do think she's a bit of a pill, but I'm glad Sam's wish didn't come true because she was a royal itch. I reckon I'd slap her if I saw her on the street...... then say sorry. Haha.

So what's been the dealio?

Friday Night I went down to Cargo Bar with the grads... well the ISD grads plus some. I only had one drink before I started to feel a bit sick in the stomach so I didn't stay so long. Saturday Night was supposed to be a quiet night. I had plans to curl up and read my book all night but the girls decided they wanted to do a repeat of 2 weeks ago. Well, not exactly a repeat... but close enough. Drinks at Roxy, dancing at Collectors then karaoke at Alisa's. Sunday was spent in total laziness. All afternoon I was curled up whilst my eyes switched from reading mode to sleeping mode. It was glorious!

... and now that I've finished babbling and recounting, time to throw in something that I always throw in when I'm lost for blog content - a quote!

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
-Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Interesting isn't it? It's nice how distance really does make the heart grow fonder. But then do you question your feelings for someone if you don't yearn for them when they're gone? I'm currently undecided on that one... although I'm leaning toward 'no'.

Distance definately makes it more difficult to stay connected with someone. So that passion for that someone that you have to exercise to stay connected can't just be a crappy "mediocre passion" - it has to be real. But then it can't be that black and white. Sometimes you just don't miss someone because you know the connection's there no matter how little you see them, how seldom you speak to them, how far you are from them. The relationship (talking friendships and romances, by the way) doesn't need to be nurtured. It's effortless.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Something that's scary is that my emotions are out of my control in certain situations. Situations involving relationships that I want to hold close to me. What happens then is that I start experiencing one emotion after another... I end up angry; I don't like being angry.

OMG! Epiphany! I understand now! Remind me to tell you later...

Ok, back to the book. Bye!
