Watercolour Pencils

Because I was feeling slightly inadequate with all these art geniuses I decided to experiment with portraiture and my watercolour pencils. Looks better in real life and from a distance so probably will photograph tomorrow.

I am tempted to ask you to guess who this is, but I know that it is doubtful that anyone knows. This is Captain John Hart as portrayed by James Marsters.

Sometimes, Just Sometimes, I do a Memo

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 3.5: Don't let them cheat.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

1. Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner, Sometimes I feel that my only friend is the city I live in the city of Angels. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chiili Peppers - Jason

2. The lights are on, but you're not home. Your mind is not your own.

3. Everyday I love you less and less. It's clear to see that you become obsessed. Every day I love you less and less by Kaiser Chiefs - Charlotte M

4. Something got me started, You know that I will love you,

5. Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy.

6. Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far?

7. Don't want you to leave me to the dark, Don't need you to tear my heart apart,

8. A lovestruck Romeo sings a streets a serenade, Laying everybody low with a love song that he made. Romeo and Juliet by the Dire Straits - Burnie

9. Together we will go our way, Together we will leave some day. Go West - Rita

10. Remember the good old 1980's? When things were so uncomplicated.

11. Oh I tried before to tell her, Of the feeling I have for her in my heart.

12. There's a little black spot on the sun today, It's the same old thing as yesterday.

13. I love you, sincerely, Yours truly, yours truly...

14. When two tribes go to war, A point is all you can store.

15.If I, I get to know your name. Well I, could trace your private number baby.

16. I would be your man, you would be my girl, oh yeah. I believe, I do. If there's any justice in the world.

17. It's not her fault that she's so irresistible, But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable.

18. Meeting you, with a view to a kill. Face to face in secret places, feel the chill.

19. Is this the real life, Is this just fantasy, Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen - Jason.

20. I don't like cities, but I like New York. Other places make me feel like a dork.

Hmmm, some are probably obvious, some I think no one would guess. (This is slightly embarrassing on my part, no? But, oh well. )

There is a fire in Heidelberg. It is not reported in the news curretly but I can see it out of my windows and doors. THERE IS A FIRE. Rita is curretly buying art supplies there and Grace and Jason (?) live there.

I can hear the sirens and helicopters.

Time: 16:12

"From what I could see, the fire is near the sports grounds or in that general area at least"

Time: 16:22

Found Fire on News

"Ok, from what I am seeing, it's in the Yarra flats, but according to the news (just now on Channel 7 they had it in there as part of the bushfire news) Ivanhoe is under threat, "

I live in Ivanhoe. Watching Channel 7 as well.

Time: 16:43

The fire's in Ivanhoe. Burning. Grass.

Time:16:58

I'm calmer. Can't see the smoke anymore. One is allowed to panic once in a while. Somehow, this one and the Tasmania one were both calmed by Jason. I need a level head sometimes.

When I go outside, and it's 46 degrees- I think I'm in hell; and nature agrees with me.
Yellowed dull grass, lifeless shrubs, and the landscapes all flat and motionless.
Falling red leaves in February. That's neither here nor there.
I wasn't made for such climates...
Mine is cold winters and cool summers. White landscapes, harshest in beauty.
Where plus 7 feels warm enough to think about forgoing the coat,
And people forget to add minus in front of the number-they are understood either way.
Of hot, passionate hearts and cold, cold logic.
People see summer as flimsy, see-through dresses,
Short bright mini-skirts and walks on the beech.
Now when I think of summer I see is death,
Heat rising from the ground, hot air refusing to fill lungs.
Mirages, and wet pavement, hot drops drying up on the eyes.
Yellowed landscape and brown people, wrinkles and less and less water.
Yellow is the colour of wall in Russian asylums,
Van Gogh painted his house yellow also.
Sunflowers, were they about death too?
The heat is unbearable and sleep elusive.
In better times, in childhood, I remember the summers worth living.
Cold lakes, early morning, fishing and scrapes.
Wars, village on village, bows -made with string - wooden swords, plant spears,
A play untheath the apple tree.
Ground cold and stomped till concrete hardness.
No communication, no phone lines. A white dog; Belka.
Those summer weren't hot. They were filled with rain-storm and
keeping a fire going inside the house, because it was damp and cold.
A hail, holes in the umbrella, hail size of white fists.
I feel nature keenly, and can't sleep when hot, wake up when cold.
Life is monotonous and yet it all changes.

Ummm People

I've just been in the air and in and out airoports for the last 2 or so days. I've been flown St.Petersburg -> Munich (because there is snow in London and our original flight was cancelled) -> London -> Singapoure -> Melbourne. Plus they lost our baggage (so very little clothes, no scissors, and no present for anyone). So at the moment I am .... floppy (?).
I also found out (in Munich) that apparently school for yr10 started early, so people please: which class am I in, and what is the timetable for Thursday?
Will be very grateful for above information, however can't bribe because our suitcases were blooming lost!

(Yeah I'm calm)

(( Just reread what I written, my brain isn't with me at the moment ))

(((Re-read the 2nd time, added please. I need sleep. I can't sleep until it's evening. )))
