So, there was a Volvo and four friend-of-a-friends...

Sometimes silence is golden. After a wonderful night of pizza and a painted view of the Mediteranean, this morning lying in bed, I do not feel the need for music. It is as it is.

There haven't been many moments in my life were I've felt invincible... but somehow driving around in an old volvo blasting a friend-of-a-friend's ipod on shuffle on roads that are normally jammed packed in peak hour but were abandoned at 9pm... i felt it. From Regina Specktor to Michael Jackson covering the Beatles- the beauty of shuffle had never been so apparent.

So now as I lay here, with my dog 'shrewn' across my legs, with recollections of bad italian accents, cheesecake, a particular English accent, quirky shoes and non-existent long blacks- silence is golden. Because it allows a little of the past seep into moments of the present- living twice!.

Return

Greetings. I have returned to my love of blogging! I am quite disheartened though. I upset my secret santa.. and now he/she has not contacted me. It's not about the present- it's more the fact that I do not know who they are, and it's nearly been a month since Christmas and I do not know who they are. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE! So, someone from my group of friends at highschool is secretly plotting against me. A very encouraging thought to keep me asleep at night. And what's worse, is that I've pictured all of them in santa suits. With beards. And I can not pick who is mine.

In other news, I've found love. Seriously. I was in cloud nine for the hours following this venture. So, I plug San Churro @ Glebe on Glebe Point Rd, and a big thanks to Skye for sharing it with me. Will share the details and contact information in a later post.

You should also check out Regina Spektor's album "Songs", I've been living and breathing the song "Samson" - (N.B.- this version is slower and more 'acoustic' than the version off her latest album. And it's my favourite. I recently got into a disagreement with my boyfriend about which one was better. Without being too bias about his music taste, I can understand why he likes the newer version, as he is [dare i say it] a fan of *cough taylor swift cough*, and it is more 'pop'ish than her earlier stuff. Not that I can really make this judgment, but take a listen! Any Regina is better than none!)

I must leave you on this note, as it is now 12:24 AM, and I must try and maintain some sense of a sleeping pattern.
