hello, old friend.
1:56 AM
"i'm feeling rough i'm feeling raw i'm in the prime of my life
let's make some music make some money get some models for wives;"

Applause Please.
Today I went to cell group for the first time in aaaaages!
(*standing ovation goes here*)
And it was nice.
Maybe that's partly because we're not a very cell kinduv cell. I mean- we were all talking and laughing, and Moses was chasing Jared around on a stolen wheelchair.
But; idk. There's just something about being with those kidz- when we're all squished on one couch and shoulder to shoulder, and Conan's glaring at Jared from behind one floppy fringe and June's glowing and Manda's making some crazyass funny comment and the guys're bumming around and Debbie's staring at her new six inch black heels and matching dark nails.
The thing is, I've realized, most people see Jesus as this stuck up, bearded, religious prude who went around prophecying and doing freaky healing and saying really serious stuff.
...but now, I'm beginning to think that maybe-- maybe he wasn't. Maybe in the modern day context he'd be just like us-- kicking back against the couch in the grungey old jeans he rescued from the bin after Mary threw them there and a coupluv wristbands and an old bandshirt.
But there'd be something else about him.
Something that'd make people sit up and take notice.
Something that'd make people go "...hey, this guy has something to say. I'm going to hear him out."
So yeah.
We went for lunch at Wisma, and apparently I remind Manda of Isla Fischer, a la Confessions of A Shopaholic.
Woo yeah cuz I always land deep roles like that.
Cara: "oh, oh, oh, look at that baaaaag..." *gravitates*
June: *catches the collar of my coat and drags me back* "No. Cara, no. You're broke, remember?"
Cara: "No I'm not!"
June: "Uh huhhh."
Cara: "I'm not! I DO have money. Just not here, and not right now..."
Conan: "Hey look, cool sunglasses in Aldo" *walks in*
Cara: "Ooh..." *gravitates*
Deb: "CONAN now look what you've done!!!!"
Maybe I should take a cue from Becky Bloomwood and scout out a Shopaholics Anonymous. ): I swear, it's scary, I don't know where all my money goes and every time I go out it's like the things in the shop windows entice "buuuuyyyy meeee....."
Meh.
So it's not my fault, you guys.
I love our cell.
Deb's reaction when she saw The Doomed Picture: ...classic.
Oh and Manda i'm not sure if I want to go for Lady GaGa any more. :/
My brother has been singing Poker Face for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT.
It's worse than water torture!
"muh muh muh muh"
"p-p-p-puh"
me: *yells from upstairs* "shut! upppp!!!"
It is truly. horrible.
It's like living in the same house as a Tibetan monk. With a speech impediment.
...So can you imagine going for the concert and being bumped and jostled against 1230982309809 Tibetan monks with the same speech impediments and no pants and too much glitter eyeliner?
*shudder*
So, like. I've been keeping really weird hours lately.
Maybe it's a belated manifestation of CT stress but zomg. I've been waking up at the oddest hours and not being hungry at the right times and getting sleepy in the middle of the day
:O
I'm turning into a vampire!
DWL outing the other day was fun, despite there only being three people.
I quote Josh's blog:
"Yesterday:
We roamed Orchard in Funky Hats and Coloured Contacts.
As I headed to Starbucks with my phone ringing in my hands, I crept up behind Joan Pang who was desperately and literally peering to find me because I told her I was already in town. While waiting for Cara and Amrit we played with my itouch like some noobs who were exposed to technology for the first time. Then came the mysterious woman in the straw hat and weird dress. (Refer to diagram below)

... to what extent does Cara's runway style of dressing make her mysterious? (9marks)"
...LMAO.
A little too long spent studying for Geog, J?


We were lonely like that cuz the rest of the DWL weren't there; so we got Ily to be a stuffed bear, Amrit to be a stuffed monkey, and Lisa to be a half-drunk-up green tea frap.
Ohhh yeah. We roll three-people-two-stuffed-toys-and-a-melted-frap deep, yo.

...Okay, coloured contacts.
WHAT. AN. ORDEAL. Helping Joan put them in for the first time? = not fun!
It took us about an HOUR to finally take Joan's retinal virginity.
So look. at the pics. and appreciate the new brown sparkle in her newly brown eye.
Because that sparkle took an hour of eye-prodding and a whooole lotta multi-purpose eye solution to get down pat.






Yeah, so.
Tomorrow: sunbathing with the girls, hopefully the weather's great.
I'm getting my tan back. I don't think I ever want to be Tan, Version: Canoeing Days Of Yore; but I've been starting to look a bit like a Cullen so I'd better do something before I start to sparkle in the sunlight.
Ta, y'all.
