In other words, happiness? 0 Comments May 28
I look at a world where they council drunks.
Accepting non-believers. Hoping to turn them in time.
Yet, the love of a mirror – eternally despised.
Crying 2 Comments May 18
I don’t know what came over me this morning. I was driving to work and not once, but twice, I just started crying spontaneously. I blame Roxette. Damn you Roxette! Damn your power ballads!
I really miss my man. It’s been two and a half weeks since I last saw him, and another week until I see him again. And then just for a weekend. Then it’ll probably be another 3-4 weeks before I see him again. Repeat this process until the house gets sold and I can move down to be with him.
To everyone in a “long-distance relationship”…either your really love the other person, or you're just kidding yourselves. It doesn’t work (at least not for me).

And she cries again in her room tonight
wondering where he is while she cries by the light…
Is he with that person or in another fight?
Yet, she lies all alone again in the night…
many tears roll down her cheeks, oh so very white.
Will he return to her – before the morning light?
So she turns around to face a sleepless night
cos there’s no way to tell, but will it be alright?
Then she shuts her eyes, to hide the world outside…
And when morning breaks nothing has changed
he’s still just a shadow – she’d known hours before.
Cos when darkness fell, she’d already let go.
Now all that’s left, is her body so cold.

Well, so I started this jogging thing seriously now. I tried running every day, but would have wound up killing myself. Seriously. So I’ve decided to run every second day for now. Once I get more fit, I might consider increasing the regularity as I’ll be increasing the distance in any case.
In local news, I was shocked by the South African Constitutional Court ruling that men can’t be raped. They acknowledge that male rape is no less “humiliating, degrading or traumatic”, but still pass that ruling? I don’t understand it.
On a completely different note, I’ve been digging through all the old stuff in my computer and have found some rather embarassing poetry from about ten years ago. In amongst all the stuff I’ll never show to anyone, I did find a few good ones. I’ll put those up soon.
I’ve also got to start packing up everything in the house, since I’ll be moving to the coast (probably) at the end of June. I’m not looking forward to that one bit (the packing, of course). I can’t even ask my partner to help, since he’s already down there at his new job. Now all we need is a house, and I just need to find a job…
Lastly, thank you to LARGEtony, Scott and my big sis for welcoming me to the blogospehere! What I don’t understand is that I’m the techno-freak of the family, yet my sister managed to get a blog up before me.
