so, my best friend leaves shanghai today
i feel like she's staying here forever
it's just so normal and good
my parents leave for sydney in two days as well
so it's a bit bleh

i guess my life has been on hold for the last month
i haven't done anything normally because i've been away and then people have visited
i'm looking forward to some normality

london calls in just over a week. yeee

ellen is back in sydney
eli left today.
em is leaving on the weekend.
then it's jo ash and then paul.

i'd like someone to stay here for a while.

in other news, it's such perfect weather for doona, tea, book, and dvds.

what a mess
today is one of those days where i'd like to stay in bed all day
and pretend it was all a bad dream

i am currently looking up flights to london
my parents bought me tickets for christmas
i just have to organise it and they will pay
twenty fourth of january, i think.
i hate waiting for websites.
sigh

happy birthday jesus
