What lies in time.

 Yesterday the 5th of January, I dug up a time capsule Bella and I Buried 8 years ago.

We wrote letters to each other, buried them and promised not to read them for 15 years. I decided the time period was no longer relevent but sadly the letters had dissolved in the dirt as we weren't very smart 9 yr olds. We also left each other some kind of frindship trinket...also mysteriously the charm I left for her had vanished.

But this is what she left for me.

At first I couldn't decide if this was a sign, or if it creeped me out. But now I think it's purely coincidence, but a very comforting, sweet kind of coincidence.

Pretty Things

I know I updated this last night but I have to share these with you.



One of the best things i've ever seen

And here is something nice for your ears. Plus some amazing photos by Brian Griffiths.

C-C-C-Canberra!

But first, New Years Eve

They're real, I swear



A rare fully-clothed moment





Note: Oscar never actually rides the skateboard





It's name was Franklin, It was gross



Now to the good stuff.. Canberra.

There are no words

The doors freaked me out.

This is the only one that has really anything to do with Canberra

Wedding shot.

A nice giggle moment

The death-slide

Just a child

I don't know how to explain this one.


Overall a beautiful weekend away.

Holidays and High School Friends.

So in exactly 11 days I, -along with Cameron, Rory and Naomi- am headed off our nations capital, and I think it's just what I need, because truth be told...it's not getting easier.

The past 2 months has been longer than the 17 years I knew her.

On another note:

So I suspect the majority of my high school friends don't read this but, this is kind of a 'cyber- thankyou' for not giving up on me.

I know i've been less than sociable lately, and they've been more lovely than I deserve.

This is for you! it's one of my faves.

The Concept of Forever.

I've started this blog following in the footsteps of friends - old and new- but one in particular, my best friend.
Bella (the Lair of A Misunderstood Dolphin) who recently died in a car accident along with her older sister Georgie (Sounds and Ramble).

Out of this fucked situation, i've befriended some beautiful people, 3 in particular I hold in high regard. But after a recent conversation with my parents, questions have come up about the concept of forever. I still love these new friends dearly ofcourse, but I have come to the realisation that they too will leave me. Not in such a permanent way as George and Boo, but them being older...their lives will take them on to greater adventures to uni, jobs, other cities. The selfishness of this on my part overwhelmed even me, and I know that we will always be friends but the friendship will never be the same. So i've begun to cherish every moment with them even more, but this will make it quite a lot harder to see them go.

So my dilemma comes down to;
draw this friendship back, start getting used to not having them around- but i hate this option. Would I have done this if I had known Boo would be taken from me? Absolutely not.

Become closer than ever, be devastated to see them leave, try "long-distance friendship"?
