Gandhi said:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.

tapes, angels and unavailability.

I am currently unavailable for comment. No, it’s not what you think it is.

Currently swirling. Work is busy, my head is full, my heart in my throat on certain fronts but so full of love for those people who know who they are (and peeps, you know full well who you are).

In the meantime, I am swirling busy with much and such. All these tapes in my head swirl around. I am lucky I have someone who knows how to press that elusive pause button.

There’s a sticker on our wall that says Protected By Angels. My mother and father brought it back from the UK on their last trip. Every day I look at that and think to myself that we are blessed. And then I look over at Cam, still asleep, and am awed and full of love. Then she wakes up says “no mommy, wear the flower dress. you look pwetty. I love you”.

Every day I walk on, soldier on and live on, because she exists.

Nothing else in the Universe matters.

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star – Friedrich Nietzsche

Quote for today

Thanks to Kish for the Marvin inspiration (you know how much I believe Hitch-hikers is essential reading for any human being…)

Anyway, here’s a quote, from Zaphod Beeblebrox himself thats makes me smile, giggle and can myself. The inner-outer narcissist loves it:

“If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.”

WAHA

Ani DiFranco

And in other news, I am consumed with glee over Ani DiFranco.

This one got me for today:

“Life is a B Movie: it’s stupid and it’s strange, it’s a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the ‘he said she said’ sometimes there’s some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.”

But then it got better when I read:

“It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there’s me.”

That, my friends, is all for today.

Oh, and if you don’t know who she is, please, just JFGI.

(oh, and yes, that was an intentional Franc/k/ism).

quote for today

“i’m at home in this high-five”

a note from a friend today

it lifted me on a day when i needed to hear something nice.

coming out of the mouth of someone i admire and hold very highly in esteem, it meant a lot to this girl behind her monitor.

i thought i’d share it.

you’re the most beautiful wonderful person i know, maybe being where you are is why you are the person you are

thank you dear.

quotes from this weekend

kim: “so his hobby is…”

SuperM: “are you into horses?”

Sheena: “i’m gay” (she was joking, lurkers)

Me: “at least my applicator does not roll away from me” (okay, okay this one’s from today but, hey, it was about the weekend)

Janet: “bribe car”

.all of which, for reasons i cannot explain without pictures and diagrams, mean nothing unless you are me. and im just writing these down for me.

but each of the people reading them know how much they made me laugh, because they were indicative of so much.

this weekend quite simply, rocked. there was a large percentage of time spent slacking and smiling.

seeing janet again, as beautiful as i know she has always been, but truly living it.

sitting at a table of women and for once in my life, not feeling like a complete freak. and, having a few things, yet again, affirmed by unexpected corner dwellers.

seeing seh in shock. knowing that she deserves all the adoration and so much more.

having a ‘domestic intrusion’ of epic proportions. including chinese food and bad humour and rack shots (ashleigh’s not mine, for a change. on that note, where are those photos, mmmmm? )

the will ‘n waz ‘help me get ready you bunch of homos’ routine.

you. for all that you are and are not.

knowing that sometimes, on a sunny saturday, life can be just awesome. just as it is.

i know it all comes down to ebb, flow, hold on and release.

being reminded that, even in my ‘no, really, take me as i am’ state, that i’m just super.

i cannot wait to tell you, one day, my not-so-little-anymore girl, how wonderful it was to hug you again on sunday, and have you say, “i has got a present for you. it’s my love”.

(on that note, if anyone can tell me when my child started learning lolcat, please let me know, thanks. wah)

precocious

this is my last post for today.

someone once said, about me:

‘you are precocious. because once you get past the precociousness of you, you’ll see the word precious in there too’

they were pretty darn fucking right. i miss them.
