this is the kind of thing you find in swimming pool changing rooms. really insightful stuff. some days i wish i carried a vivid with me.

but i don't. i do, however, usually carry my togs with me. so that when the mood strikes me i can duck off and do like a million handstands in thorndon pool. i did it yesterday for example. and rocked the recreational swimming area like a maniac. there were two pre teens trying to out-do me with their handstand attempts. but basically i had more control. and grace. and talent.

speaking of talent, guess who rocked their presentation today? why, that'd be me. i rocked it even though technology failed me and the powerpoint literally crashed the computer after i hit next slide for the second time. the old guard suggested a return to overhead transparencies. i agreed whole heartedly. one of my childhood highlights was writing out the words to songs on transparencies in differently coloured markers so that the class could sing a long. you just don't get that kind of joy from power point.

i do get joy from my nephew however, as i may have mentioned already. tonight he fell asleep in my arms. i nearly cried.

i actually cried last night when i was watching gilmore girls and jackson proposed to suki. it was both a personal high and a personal low for me. a high because i was really moved, obviously. a low because IT IS ONLY A DVD BUT IT BECOMING MY REALITY. the actual lowest low was saturday when i was imagining what i would have said to mr gilmore if i were lorelai (after they had a fight about telling rory she could keep the car dean gave her).

it is really ironic how i'm relating so fully to the characters in gilmore girls. in 4th form history i got super low marks because i wrote lame diary entries for historical figures. if i could turn back time i think i would rock that task. just like i'm seemingly rocking everything else today.
