The last group dinner (for now). Thank you for the lovely treat and a memorable 'last night' guys, wouldn't have wanted to spend it doing anything else... love you all ^_^

Without you here.

From the very moment you told me that you were saving up to buy an amplifier, I knew this was going to be difficult.

Very, very difficult.

And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here.

Now that I have been blessed with an extra seven days in Melbourne, I know that I will be ready to leave next Wednesday... or at least, a lot less reluctant to do so (even though I have now been 'banished' to live my life in the living room since the new housemate has now moved in).

Yesterday I spent two hours at FF doing Mr. B's classes, then had dinner and helped a friend out at Starbucks (!) preparing for her class presentation till 11pm. At the end of the day I was so tired from the day's activities, but I don't think I've ever felt this happy being in Melbourne.

Oh, and actually, sleeping in the living room ain't TOO bad ;)

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead.

Feel the silence.

I went back to SMAC this afternoon to return my locker key and get my deposit back, and in the postgrad computer lab, where I've spent pretty much the whole of my Honours year...

C: So when are you leaving?
L: Next Tuesday...
C: And when are you coming back?
L: ... Never.
C: ... Now that's making me really sad...

She paused for a moment, then I saw tears in her eyes. I did not tear up together with her, but I was suddenly overcome by an overwhelming bout of sadness.

I've always thought I was ready to go, but leaving this place is turning out to be so bloody difficult...

Hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall, just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives.

Sexy back.

So you think you can dance.
