a heavy sigh in and the slow release of careful breath, but we are not yet touching. the air that bridges this cruel gap between us is convoluted with confusion and questions that spill from your bruised lips like blood from searing wounds. stammers, gulps, pauses and swallows, but then it comes. are you in love with me? well, i will tell you the truth because i’m really not quite sure and i...
i’m kind of fluttering right now :3

not listening to william and going anyway. :P
considering going to starbucks to work on my media and geo assignments…. good idea or no?
this weekend has been lovely. :) i can’t even explain how much i love wellington and the people and the town and the clothes and the vibe and just everything about it. :3 going to the university open day made all of this seem so real, and i can’t wait for the next few years of my life to take shape and be amazing! so i’m happy and inspired right now, which is always wonderful. i...

i like to lie on rooftops where the view is black and silver and the world is wide awake. from way up high i see short dresses and mixed drinks and street lights against the dark sky that illuminate this city pulsating with life. i ache to join in their carefree easy non-stop paradise, a rave from dusk to dawn. the air is cold and the night is young and i am bursting with impatience, i want to be...
we need to take the ideas that rush through our spinning minds and stretch them until they reach the end and we wonder whether they will snap or not and we will gasp and marvel at the complexity of this earth and how we have discovered so many realms that just existed but never were touched upon. we need to take people and society and normality and shake them up and down, change this pattern that...
it started off as a journey to the promised unknown, but has dissolved into a ruthless race of which neither of us are winning. it is me following you through these swelling crowds, fighting to stay with the heat on your heels. or perhaps it is you dragging me through this portal into your heaven, and this i would love to think but i do not know the truth. we are speeding past security, running...
Day 10 – What do you think about straightxedge?
given that i suppose this is what i am, i’m fully supportive. :P
i’m writing my official application form for my israel programme next year! this is so crazy and awesome :3
hipster bloggin’ from starbucks YEEAAHHHH
i’ve been hanging out with my jew crew all weekend for this learning seminar we’re at. it’s been really great and i get tomorrow off school for it, which makes me happy happy happy. :) also, i had another interview for my israel gap year, and i think it went pretty well. everything is getting very real and scary and exciting, and i love it. :) i wrote a lot of things this weekend...
Day 9 – Pro-life or prochoice?
pro-choice, because i think that everyone deserves control of themselves and what’s going on within their bodies. i don’t consider abortion ‘murder’ in the slightest, and i think that a majority of women who choose to abort do it because they know that they wouldn’t be able to provide a happy life for a child in their current...
i am in one of those weird moods where i can’t quite work out if i’m happy or sad. all the surrounding evidence in my life points to happiness, but there is this almost nostalgic pang inside me that is making me think otherwise.

just played a round of minesweeper and cleared the beginner level in 2 seconds. legend? i think so. procrastinator? i think so. goodbye tumblr, geography internal calls. :D
Day 8 – Do you think any drugs should be legalized? Do you think there should be an age for drinking?
i don’t think any drugs should be legalized. they fuck with your brain and have permanent lasting effects, and i don’t think the law should support the ruining of healthy minds. i would actually be incredibly happy if alcohol was illegal too, but i know that’s asking for too...
the new zealand film industry may possibly be one of the most boring topics in the history of the world to ever write an essay about. on the plus side, it finished on 1111 words. call me superstitious but that means i get an extra wish tonight! ;)

i wake up every morning and rub slumber from bleary eyes along with six billion others in this crazy spinning world. i stumble to the mirror as life suddenly seems to swing into focus, and i do not love the little figure staring sleepily back. so we begin to scrutinize and pick ourselves apart until the marvels inside us have been tossed aside and only the awful and grotesque remain. awkward and...
‘i say the right things but act the wrong way i like it right here but i cannot stay i watch the tv; forget what i’m told well, i am too young, and they are too old oh, man, can’t you see i’m nervous, so please pretend to be nice, so i can be mean i miss the last bus, we take the next train i try but you see, it’s hard to explain’

Day 7 – Do you want to get married and/or have kids?
i suppose i do in the future, but it’s not something i really think about regularly. i feel like i’ll always be too young and free to be tied down, but at the same time i know that at some point in my life i’ll end up craving the stability i run from now.

there is an oasis in time buried halfway between naivety and cynicism where we find our inspiration. it rolls around about the same time as drunken kisses and cocaine and movies late at night when everything has become so much deeper and we find to our surprise that we are addicted to drowning. it strikes us that these gears grind for change and we are awakened, we are resurrected and we decide...
Day 6 – What are your views on love? Do you think it’s real? Do you think we only experience one love per lifetime? Does everyone have a soul mate?
i think it’s undeniable that love is real, though its definition may change as we grow and experience it in more forms. i like to think that everyone has one person in the world who is their soulmate. however, the chances of us actually meeting...
hallelujah:
“you are a little black raincloud and i am a pink stream of light” and together we were a river welcoming back all the fish that fight upstream to try and keep themselves alive. a prism and a pyramid and a legend, a pair of pliars pulling teeth from the roots and crowning them like a throneful of royal fists. i am a little black rain cloud and you are a needle, piercing my silver...
i have had an awesome weekend! :) sapeer’s been up here (and hacking my tumblr apparently judging by my last post) and we have had lots of fun making brownies, singing songs and generally being awesome. we had a seminar this weekend about our trip to israel next year, and it is all getting extremely real and exciting. life is just generally incredibly sweet, and i couldn’t ask for much...
