Just wanted to share 🙂
There’s no one particular reason why, I just am, which makes it all the more wonderful. I’m really enjoying the school I’m at right now, even the hellish year level which cause me such misery last time is much better now. It is warm and sunny. The whole world feels totaly alive, and so do I. It is such a welcome feeling.
I feel like each morning I wake with a sense of anticipation..there is so much happening for me this year – in 10 days time I will catch up with Tuck & Noriko, who I haven’t seen for 8 months, in July I will be seeing friends I haven’t seen in 3 years, in August I’ll be travelling with friends I haven’t seen in a year…I have an absolutely wonderful, wickedly fun friend in Shanta right here in Japan. Sometimes its hard for me not to dance around the staffroom, I have so much happiness in me right now.
Next Tuesday, April 27, I will have been off ADs for one whole year. One whole year without any relapses. Better still, I have been through a really down patch, I’ve been homesick, I’ve moved countries for heavens sake, and have not fallen into the depths of depression again. It is something that did concern me before leaving, probably more than I ever let on. Now that I’ve survived my first serious bout of homesickness and misery, and have bounced back, my heart feels even lighter and my spirit feels even stronger. I suspect this plays a large part in my feeling so fantastic right now. To celebrate this milestone, I will be getting a new tat this Saturday..yet another thing I’m looking forward to.
I still miss everyone back home, but I know you’ll all be there, or coming back sometime soon, when I get back. I love all my friends..for those that read lj, next time you see someone I know who doesn’t, please give them a hug for me. In the meantime, *hugs to the whole wide world* It’s a miraculous place to live in, and I’m so glad I am!!!!
I feel FANTASTIC!!!
I wanted to go WOOHOOO! and dance around the park with you!
then you mentioned new tatt – and I have to know what????
YAYYYY!!!!! happiness so breeds happiness 🙂 thank you!
and i’m with renee here, what are you getting tattooed and where????
Hey, I was wondering if you’d like a little company when you’re getting inked. Are you going to Chopsticks, or have you found a different place? Just curious. I kinda wanted to hang out with you a bit more since Stu and I had to bail on you last weekend. I’m up in the mountains until late Friday afternoon, but I really don’t have any plans for my weekend yet. Let me know.
Hey there! What’s the new tat and where’s it going? I’m so glad that you’re feeling so happy. I did worry about you, you know. I am so majorly excited about Thailand. It’ll be the best, I just know it. I am missing you as always and think about you more often that I care to admit. I love you heaps – see you soon!!!!
A bat on the back of my neck, based on the bat pendant I wear a lot. In colour! Ranging from cobalty bluish to turquoise green. *bounce* 4 pm saturday with Kozuro at Chopstick Tattoo – http://www.chopsticktattoo.org Artist’s from there go to goth clubs and do tattooing, tis how I found out about them. I went in last Sunday and discussed the design with Kozuro and he’s gonna have it ready for Saturday.
Just replyed to Renee’s qn 🙂 Can see I’m gonna have to work out how to post photos in my journal now….
I know, I know…can’t wait to see you either. We are so gonna have the BEST time!!! I have the Lonely Planet Thailand book _and_ the South-East Asia on a Shoestring book….avidly reading both of them. Keen to go on an elephant trek, and to one of the tiger preservations (gee, bet you couldn’t guess that!!) Also big on the idea of a few days beach-wise chilling with cocktails…I know it’s so typical Thailand touristy, but hey, it’ll be my birthday, I can be typical touristy for a couple of days!!!!
Loves you lots and can’t wait to see you. Am so excited you’re on lj again. Woohoo!!!
See reply to for tat details
*hugs n kisses*
you absolutely must take me to see the tigers with you – I don’t care how – it just must be done 🙂
hooray for inventable technology 🙂
hooray also on the tatt – posting pics in lj is easy – but you do need to have the image on a website somewere – so sending me the image to put on the amber page for you might be easiest and I’ll teach you how to webify stuff one day 🙂
Hey there. Yup, i’m going to chopstick…same artist as Stu’s – found out his name is Kozuro.
Shanta’s coming with me for the adventure, but am free sunday arvo if you wanna catch up (and be amongst the first admirers!!! of my new ink!!!….’twould be good to see you in a less crowded environ – plus I can fill you in on the antics you missed after bailing on Friday!!!
A year without ADs?
I knew you’d be fine.
Hugs back to you.
Thank-you! As well as the tat (which needed to be done on the weekend) on the actual day I am celebrating with Haagan Daaz ice cream and timtam slammers with the ever wonderful company of Shanta and Blair. Have a wicked desire to go and terrorise some shops too…be aware, when I say terrorise, this simply means going into a shop!!!! Especially with Shanta, and now sporting a vivid tat..bound to work!!!!
