Well, looks like I missed this contest. I kept thinking who I'd want to put on it, but couldn't think of a good order. Maybe the next contest will be the one for me...

They are adorable. I love dogs. I like Oska's face in the pictures, he's cute.
For my year off I will probably work and figure out what God's got next for me. I'll keep working with the students at my church, so that won't change. What will change is living at home and having homework, really. I'll probably work at Starbucks, so I'll be committed to Medford (where I live for six months), then I can transfer if I want to.
I really don't know yet. My options are wide open. It's a little scary, but a little freeing at the same time ;-)

what are you goin to do?

check out the new photos of my dogs. sooooooo cute

...well, maybe I have a four month summer break...and I guess a few people get as much as a month off at Christmastime. It just seemed like it had been a while. It's sweet that you get a long break, though. I only have three months of school left...then I'm looking forward to a whole year off, most likely. It's so sweet...

yeah well it's uni break. isn't that normal in the US? I mean don't you have the summer holidays in highschool and stuff?

over here we break up the holidays throughout the year and have 6 weeks over christmas. it's different at university though

Then end of Feb.? That's a ridiculously long break. Slacker... ;-)
Your mix is not crap, by the way. Led, Bowie, the Shins, the Doors, the Stripes...those are good bands!
I am ridiculously tired for it only being 9:45, so I think I'm gonna get a little extra sleep tonight :-D
G'night.

I'm crap as well, but eh, it's fun.

yeah i'll be on holidays til the end of feb. oooh yeah

...I'm trying to think of a good reason...
I don't think I have one. Last time I tried, I think I realized I'm not actually that good at making mixtapes. I don't have anything to do today, though, so maybe I'll sit down and make one.
Anyway, it's been a while. What's up? Still on holiday?

so how come you haven't entered?

i've already entered. you should. you've still got a bit of time.

I want to enter contest 8...but I don't know if I will. I should. It's a good idea. It just would take me a while to go through my library (small as it is) to find good music.
You?

are you gonna enter contest 8?

Yeah that's not 100% accurate. I live an hour out of Sydney.
It takes about 2 hours to get to the beach. I might do it if i were a real beach person but i have an irrational fear of sharks and i don't go in the ocean.

I did actually go in once when i was on holidays last week though. But that was only because i was with 6 people i trusted and helicopters were patrolling the area

The pools? Do you ever go to the ocean? I know Australia's a big continent, but in my mind, every town is near the ocean :-)

ahhhh no thanks. lol. i think i'll stick to mine and stop complaining. it is just a short trip to the local pools

I don't want to hear about swimming and hot. I still wake up to icy fields and a little bit of snow. I'm dying for warm weather!
I feel ya on the holiday thing, though. My schedule was so messed up I was getting to bed at around 4 or 5am, and now I have to be up at seven most days. It's killer.
Wanna trade?

i just came back from holidays so i'm relaxed, but i wish i could have stayed longer. every morning i wake up ready to go jump in the pool and then i realise i'm back home.... i don't have a pool. it makes me sad.

and it's fucking hot.

I...am doing well.
I'm trying to think of what I've been doing to justify being well...not much. But I think if I'm not 'bad,' I default to 'well'. So maybe I'm really mediocre.
And always strange...
No, just hanging out, I suppose. Went exploring in a retirement home that's under construction (exploring/climbing/photographing construction sites is kind of a hobby), and drove by tonight to find four fire trucks and three cop cars. Thank God I wasn't there tonight. And school - perpetually. And trying to find a job.
And how are you doing?

how are you?

Hahah. (Dangit, again!) Don't worry, I didn't think you were angry. And even if you were, you're right, so it would be justified.
