Just a little reminder now that ive got a few different categories on this blog. Its possible to just read the entries from a particular category by clicking the category name over on the right in the menu. i.e. Clicking the ‘America Trip’ category name will show only the posts in the ‘America Trip’ category. etc etc.

Might save some time… might not *shrugs*

7th December @ 11:52pm – Its late, someone cant sleep

Found this in a folder on my laptop. I wrote it a fair few months ago i think, im not totally sure… hrmmm

The phone rings and it is her.
Days of waiting patiently are rewarded,
with her soft accent flowing through,
and exploding on my eardrums with joy.

Apart for days – longing to be by her again.
Missing her touch,
her talk,
the sway of her walk.

The olive skin and almond eyes,
with flowing hair – soft to the touch.
Her unique smell,
alluring gestures greeting my inquisitiveness.

Missing the shape of her body,
moulded into mine with warmth.
Being able to hold her – for no reason,
enjoying the generosity of her giving.

Hearing the words “i have to go”
Wanting to say something lasting –
longing and meaningful.
Yet only ‘Righto’ comes out – *sigh*

Im left holding the phone – with silence,
Feeling bad for not getting more out,
Hard on myself and disappointed.
Hoping she knows what i really mean.

Thinking – only days left,
Her smiling face awaits me.
Ready to hold her again and look at her,
engulf her and surround her.

Yup, a new category dedicated to ‘the one’ Dunno just yet what ill put in this category but i just got the urge to create it. Probably be thoughts and general stuff on/about/in relation to her. *shrugs*

Ok, piccies are up.

First lot are from the Seattle christmas singing thing we went to, followed by a few from asian art museum (buildings and stuff). After that are some pictures i took while we where walking to the IMAX movie. The cinema is right near the space needle. Some of the pictures are blurry and dodgy – im staill playing around with settings. There is a lot of christmas lights up around the place at this time of year, it looks pretty cool. The last picture is of the Dennys we stopped at and had a feed at 1am in the morning.

Pictures from Friday

Next lot are from the Bonsai garden. That was really cool. I like bonsais and the ones there where really cool. Some where up to 900 years old! and had been in traning for 30-40 years!

enjoy…

Ok, for some reason i forgot to write about what happened on Friday. So ill start there. The main thing that happened was the trip into Seattle to see the ‘figgy pudding’ – dont quote me on that, thats what it sounds like but ill probably get laughed at.

Anyway – it is a one hour show where people get togehter and sing chistmas carols in the main Seattle downtown area to raise money for charities. There where lots of people there. The traffic was crazy so we (Mels Dad and Mum, Mel and Me) ended up parking a fari way from the actual place. We walked for a long time, mels little legs had trouble keeping up with the fast pace. Ive come to realise that she has two speeds – normal walking and running. Seems her little legs cant handle a fast walking pace. hrmmm But yeah, we got there and watched a few and then it pretty much ended. From there we walked down by the waterfront wchich was cool. Along the waterfront is a lot of little shops selling all sorts of stuff – not too bad. We dropped by another bookshop and had a look around then pretty much headed back to the car. That was Friday.

Saturday (yesterday) we headed off to the Asian Art Museum. We had arranged to meet up with Augustina there which was cool. Got there and i scored myself some betetr pictures of a squirrel!

He was actually pretty friendly and came up real close. Wouldnt hang around for me to try to touch him though.

Inside the museum we walked around and looked at the stuff. There was a lot of stuff about ancient asian gods and stuff which was interesting. A lot of the objects had tags saying what they where but there wasnt really anything saying what they where used for so we where left looking at weird objects and wondering. One of the guides told us that they where pretty much jsut religious objects used on ceremonies and stuff *shrugs*. Anyway – we walked around the statues, objects, plates, jars, furniture etc etc and all was good.

Got out of the museum and got to sit on a cool stone camel!

We walked from there down to a little green house thing that ahd flowers and stuff in it. Wasnt bad to look around. Had some really colorful plants and stuff. Coming back from that i took some photos around the museum and stuff. From there we said goodbye to Augustina and we headed off to a shopping place to chew up some time.

The shopping place was ok. This time of year they jave lots of lights and stuff up which is cool.

We wandered around in there for while and ahd somthign to eat. Then it was time to head up to the Washington University. Melanies brother Tim sings in an accapella group and they where putting on a show. It was really good. They sang lots of well known songs and was cool.

We had arranged to meet up with one of Mels teacher friends (Bob) to go see the last Matrix movie (Revolutions) at the IMAX cinema. We drove over to the Seattle centre and walked to the place. The Seattle centre is where the space needle is and around it is a lot of rides and stuff and it also has the cinemas. Got our tickets and lined up.

Matrix IMAX was amazing!!, the first 5 mins of the imax movie jsut blows you away. Its HUGE! and the sound is brilliant!. The big screen makes it sooo good. Parts of it made me shiver cause it was that good and i found myself holding my breath in some of the action scenes. I had to say that normal movies on Imax is was better then the 3D ones. I think mainly because the 3D ones tend to be computer generated and kind of kiddy, but anyway.

So yeah… The movie was amazing. *whew* I got lost a few times in the storyline but ill pick it up when i watch the trilogy again when its released.

From there we headed back. Was about 1:30a, when we got back to federal way, and we stopped over at Dennys for something to eat.

Its cool over here how many places are open at weird hours of the night. At Dennys you can order and kind of food at any time. You could have a big breakfast feed at 3am in the morning. Its very cool. There tends to be a lot to do over here at anytime as well. You can pretty much go out at anytime and find somthing thats open. A big change from Rockhampton where most of the shops close at 5pm in the afternoon. I got a plate of fries covered with cheese and bacon with Ranch dressing on the side. It was really good. Ive grown to like ranch dressing since ive been over here.

Anyway, Today is Sunday. We just got back from CostCo again. Went there to pick up some more stuff. Had a big ol piece of costco pizza again – damn it is good. Pretty soon we are heading off to the bonsai garden so that should be neat.

Ive got lots more pictures from the last few days which ill put up here later. probably get more at the bonsai place today as well.

hrmmm thats it for now…
