"a few good men"
Been reading Nathaniel Fick’s One Bullet Away, where he documents his career as an officer in the USMC.
It is a brilliant piece of writing, full of self reflection and unglamorized reactions to extreme situations.
Seriously good.

end of exams - pour brains onto page
I read too much during my study break, i read four books when i should have been studying for my economics exam, which went averagely, but it was more inspiring, in the short run at least, because ms mccaffery opened my mind up once again to the possibilities, the could-bes, the stretch your mind and imagine it existed, sometimes plain strange and could-never-bes, where all the rules are broken...

Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
This is silly. I don’t regret things i’ve done. Everything i did helped me become who i am today. I’m not going to hold onto the past because i was young or immature or stupid. So i’m going to go ahead and change this to,
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d done.
1) Got my driver’s license when i was younger!
2) Committed more to non-performing arts at...
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1) People: Their motivation for doing things and the psychology behind what they do and say. Getting to know people is one of my favourite hobbies :) The people closest to me.
2) God.
3) The meaning of life! (not 42)
4) International Politics and New Zealand’s relations with USA, China, and the Israel/Palestine Dispute, the problems in Fiji.
5) Poverty in the countries of Africa and...
my newest and most shameful obsession
The Vampire Diaries.

loving the suspenders!

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
1) Musical interest or talent! I go gaga over drummers, guitarists, double bassists, violinists, trombonists, etc. The complicated explanation is that it shows a certain level of commitment and determination to become good at an instrument, traits that i admire. The simple explanation is that live music makes me go loopy and silly!
2) Keep compliments to a minimum. This makes them more meaningful...
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
1) I think i’m funny! In a dry, sorta not funny way… in a way that would make your parents laugh.
2) I am dramatic! I love to quote Shakespeare and movies, and sing songs and dance. I basically love performing. I think it partly defines me as i am today, because i used to be so shy. Now i don’t even think twice about getting on stage. But i still get nervous, which i think is...

1) Elina: You’re my sister and a close friend. I know we clash a bit about different things, and i hate it. Sometimes i feel like you’re so much younger than me, and sometimes i feel like you’re a lot older. You’re funny and intelligent and totally gorgeous! But you’re not me. We’ve have different experiences, and I’ve accepted this. If we hadn’t, we...

I don't really care much for celebrities.
They’re just people. Get over it.
lazy musings
On one level, I freaking love life.
~ Family is great
~ Friends are varied and many and amazing
~ Uni is not taking over
But on another level, it’s like I’m not consciously living.
~ I feel incomplete
~ It’s not quite right
~ There’s got to be more
So I remind myself,
That life is meant to be l i v e d.
People are meant to be l o v e d.
We are meant to be the...
