Whirlwind Summer

Well, I feel like I've spent the entire summer on a plane, in a train or in a car so far, but I've seen a billion different things as well. I'm going to produce a map or something of the around the world adventures I've had as soon as I sit down for a moment and life gets, well, a wee bit boring again. For the moment it's not looking like the case for at least a few more weeks.

I was in OZ, now I'm in NA. Tonight I head back to the old EU and Monday off on a cruise around the AEGEAN.

My best friend Melissa got married on September 3rd. I was a bridesmaid in Fuchsia. My big toes have been paralysed since the wedding (not sure if it's considered a neurological disorder to volunteer for 20 hours in 30 dollar 5 inch heels). I'm still going to have my doctors look into it.

I made a sculpture for the wedding as part of my gift and to go on top of the cake. It ended up not fitting on top of the cake at all and smelling a lot like modge podge (not the best flavour of cake) but you can be your own judge on the results.

The best thing about this summer has been being able to see all the people I haven't seen for the longest of times. Eric, Jaqui & Taryn, Alex, Lisa, Kylie & Mark, Zannah, Mel & Michael, Kosta & Josephine, Mom, Marty, Tam, Jack & Max, Esther & Mel, Mike, Jakki & Zack, Sasha, Zoecat & Lindsaydog. Did I leave anyone out? Probably, but no one reads this blog anyways.

Next post: Charting The Summer of 6

and in the future:
- Great Ocean Road:Description or Inquiry?
- Brisbane to Cairns and Everything In Between
- Batchelorette Number 1
- 27 and Cruising

Or, maybe I'll just get on with my work. Isn't there a thesis coming up?
I gotta get on a plane in a few hours. See you in the next time zone.
