:: love ::

• scat :: these guys were awesome! if they're going to be there next year, i'm definitely going. although, i'm going anyway, but will stay up late to watch them if i have to. *nods*
• gathering 2 and mike pilavachi :: i have never laughed so much in my life, well maybe in yr10... still. the circus girls were awesome, although everytime they did the falling thing my heart leapt into my throat. i never know how people can do things like that
• michael frost & tim costello :: i am now challenged to live a life that's more concerned with everyone around me, and not just the people living in my little microcosm -- but everywhere else because it's God's command and because everything bad tarnishes the image of God. micah6.8. i don't know what i expected tim costello to be like -- but this wasn't it and he exceeded expectations by so much.
• carolyn kitto :: ling, i'm sorry you were asleep for this, because i think you would have liked it. she talked about how you know what God's will for your life is. saw it with parents and frankly, was kinda weird because of that. ah well...
• sunday night :: as with last year, stayed up late sun night, just because. finally went to sacred space, but i liked last year's better with the labyrinth. although i'm sure they would have had a labyrinth this year because they had that elective session on it. maybe it was outside...
• get off your butt :: i will always remember stump '06 as the year of the underpants -- there were literally metres and metres of underwear hanging around the village. all because of the micah challenge. :)
• the fire :: thanks nate... next time we need to set fire to something, we'll definitely take your advice :P don't worry... we didn't actually set anything alight, and it definitely made us able to go see playjerise quicker. too bad there was a complete fire ban during stump...

went to floriade with lynn today and encountered some really aggressive birds. nay and dot, i don't share your paranoia with birds, but some of these were truly scary. there was this swan who dragged another swan away from the food so that it could have more. lynn and i tried to boycott it, but then forgot which one it was because there were 6 and they all look alike. talked about nothing and everything and then went back to ann and lynn's house and tried to sing 'getting into you' -- failed miserably. ah well. next time...

even though i normally have huge objection to songs of songs:

all night long on my bed i looked for the one my heart loves; i looked for him
but did not find him. i will get up now and go about the city, through its
streets and squares; i will search for the one my heart loves. so i looked for
him but did not find him... scarcely had i passed them when i found the one my
heart loves. i held him and would not let him go

and because of english orals at the end of last term (oh how good it feels to say 'last term')

I long to talk with some old lover's ghost,
Who died before the god of love was born.
I cannot think that he, who then loved most,
Sunk so low as to love one which did scorn.
But since this god produced a destiny,
And that vice-nature, custom, lets it be,
I must love her that loves not me.

Sure, they which made him god, meant not so much,
Nor he in his young godhead practised it.
But when an even flame two hearts did touch,
His office was indulgently to fit
Actives to passives. Correspondency
Only his subject was ; it cannot be
Love, till I love her, who loves me.

But every modern god will now extend
His vast prerogative as far as Jove.
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend,
All is the purlieu of the god of love.
O ! were we waken'd by this tyranny
To ungod this child again, it could not be
I should love her, who loves not me.

Rebel and atheist too, why murmur I,
As though I felt the worst that love could do?
Love might make me leave loving, or might try
A deeper plague, to make her love me too ;
Which, since she loves before, I'm loth to see.
Falsehood is worse than hate ; and that must be,
If she whom I love, should love me.

for those who can't be stuffed, it's about love unrequited.
