fix you

I owe Julie a lot. She is a wonderful sister who is always encouraging me. Actually they are all that wonderful. But she is the one who gave me the new Coldplay cd that is so divine, beautiful.
'Fix you' is what I have always seem to be doing, with me, others and the world around me. I sort of see it as my responsibility to do that and it is a lot of weight to carry. I am just now seeing that I am the only one that I can do good for and it is in this that I can inspire others to do the same for themselves. I don't really want to fix anyone anyway because in their own way they are great (I don't believe in perfect).

So I may have missed out on a fun evening at our chef's place with amazing food (flambe rasberry shortcake, ahem) but I had a nice time all the same. Then last night was another girl's night, wow, we can be pretty bad for encouraging bad behavior though I did take the flag on my own accord. Then again they always save us too, in more ways then I can count.

hurt so good

OMG! I just came from my very first professional massage. It was absolutely amazing and I still feel like I am in some other world. K, enough praise. I am currently at the library having just dropped off my late book and it cost me all of 15 cents for one day. It is amazing to hear one of the ladies tell me that certain people were in paying their $25 late fee! That is a lot of frickin' days. Are they just slow readers or don't they remember that they are just "borrowing" the book? Another social blunder - I answered my cell phone here. It was on vibrate but I couldn't miss the call because this was already a call back and they would think I was really rude or something. I don't want that.
Tonight is supposed to be a BBQ (what they call a Braai in S.A.) at our chef's place for his own birthday. He is so funny and fun, so it should be a great time. Not to mention he is the most amazing cook around so it is gonna be gooood. Other than that I am heading out again to enjoy the sun that has finally come around for the summer. Tomorrow - the beach!

sometimes you can't make it on your own

Not a lot of people really read this page. I have been told I do it mostly for my own benifit anyway so what is it that people are supposed to think when they come across it? It began as a way to keep people posted about my goings-on while I was away and now, well, I guess it really is like a public diary - though I don't ever hand out all my secrets ;) I write with the intention of putting my thoughts into words, getting people to ponder things in a way they never might have, and saving memories that I otherwise have no place for in this forgetful head of mine.

This past week was so nice out, a friend ditched work and we hung out and went to the beach. There needs to be more of that! Then I was talking to my sisters, one is making plans for the future it's so exciting! And the other is in Singapore as we speak. The one I live with is fun to hang out with and there is a bachelorette coming soon! In all, my summer is going well, but more fun is to be had. I can tell.
