the girl who lost her voice

Name:
Location: Melbourne's shining streets, Victoria, Australia

This is a story. This is pure fiction. This is a test. ...but for you or for me? ~.~ On a sunshine filled day like today, I had all the time in the world for you. We lay on our backs in the grass, dancing silhouettes of the canopy above us, tiny little pockets of light escaping through, like sparkling diamonds another world away... In the light, in the noise of all that clarity, we never did communicate very well... ~.~

back

First off, I'm such an idiot because I totally got the National Gallery of Australia confused with the National Museum of Australia, so all you reading wondering why there's a boolean knot reference in the last post, ignore it.

Canberra was very :D with lots of rain, rain, rain... somehow I managed to get sunburnt on an overcast and rainy day... :S

Anyway, I'll write more about Canberra another time. I am very tired. I didn't realise how tired I was until I got home and realised I really don't want to do anything, except maybe play WoW but my account has expired so... :(

I was going to download photos from my camera but the battery is exhausted and doesn't recharge even when plugged into the comp.. so... no photos.. not that there were many anyway...

My thoughts are a little everywhere.. so much to do. so so tired.

ok enough whining and rambling

I'll write again soon xx

OMG I HATE THE MELBOURNE MODEL!!! >.<

I have two more subjects left to complete my degree. I was going to do Media Histories and Language and Media and that would have been perfect because even the timetables worked out so that I would only be at uni two days a week so that I could probably work the other three days, but noooooooooooo! La la luce's luck means that for some reason Language and Media is no longer offered (even though it says that it IS offered on the website!!) so I was like, ok, I'll do 1st Language Acquisition instead.

The day after I sorted out my enrolment I get an email telling me that due to unforeseen illness, 1st Language Acquisition will not be offered in 2008.... -.-

So I've been browsing the Melbourne uni website for like two days looking for another linguistics subject to complete my major and there are NONE!!! Argh!!! Not to mention that the Melbourne uni website is crap and confusing and the Melbourne Model has like totally wiped out most of the subjects that used to be available..

I was going to go in to uni today to sort it out but then I got lazy and Taxi needs a bath and it's probably time I cleaned my room... so I'll sort it out on Monday along with all the other things I need to do..

Exciting newses:

- Madame Brussels tonight! and dinner parté on Saturday night!

- Bert's birthday thingy next Friday! It's been wayyy too long since I've seen Bert and Ernie so I'm really looking forward to catching up with them again :D

- The big sis and I will be going rock climbing hopefully on Sunday to see if she can stand doing it weekly with me and start actually getting fit!

- We're going to start looking for a little sister for taxi :)

- Mon nom est carnunee et je suis un mage! :D



Aren't we gorgeous? :D I am, of course, the one with purple hair...

- I'm working with much more interesting stuff at MFT now. Although, it stresses me out a little that we still can't find a venue yet... :S

- Most exciting of all: ....................................................................................................................
I'M GOING TO CANBERRA!
Yay! :D

Ok, so most of you probably think I'm an idiot for getting so excited over Canberra, but there are many, many reasons why Canberra is very exciting. I shall list only a few:

1. I have wanted to visit ever since first year archi when we did City in History. Along with Brasilia. I find planned cities fascinating... also to a lesser extent
Chandigarh...

2. National Gallery of Australia. Once again, a place I've wanted to visit since learning about Postmodern architecture and then again in Postmodernism last semester. Yay for boolean knot!

3. This will be the first holiday I go on alone since I've come home from France. This is a big deal, personally, cos.. well, cos y'all know how lonely I got in France and how much I (sometimes) hated travelling alone...

BUT (!!)

this leads to the next reason:

4. I won't be completely alone because I will have the company and hospitality of someone super :D

Anyway, I should go wash the dog now.

Hope you're all well, much love xx

(Good) Dancers are hot!

LEONARD COHEN

"Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
