things that make me...me?

Well, I've been going over some old stuff. Like, old stuff...stuff that reminds me of way back (kinda sad that I can say way back!)...like year 11, year 12...even before that maybe. So what is reminding me?

1/ My blog as my homepage, the fact that I used to constantly update and I was constantly writing things, third person things, stories, wisdom, anything...and now I just don't. Doesn't mean I don't think it, just means that I don't get on here to write...and when I do, it's something like this that's pretty sucky.

2/ I was listening to my songs in the car the other day, they sound good. Not being up myself, it made me think of recording and oh how I long to do more! But I'm just so busy and it's really hard trying to organise Baz even to learn my songs, let alone a drummer and my cousin! And then there's the question of when would we record? That, and I was on the Triple J Unearthed website.

3/ Then from there I had a look at my Piczo website...the things I used to write, pictures, photos. It's just so old...so year 12, so all about me...but I don't want to erase anything, it's like a little part of the making of Naomi, you know.

4/ I had my iPod on the other night and 'Forever' arranged by Mark, came on...missed that phase of my life. My first experience at recording anything, ever. Just fun, I guess you can't really hope that a friendship based on the once a year visits and flirtation can last! Shame though, 'cause it's those kinda people you still want to think about and know how they're going with life...you could've reached them and you didn't.

5/ About that iPod thing, Nath's songs came up. I know every one I have on my iPod word for word. Miss hanging out and listening to him play guitar, singing, being crazy. Don't miss late night phone calls, I repeat, don't miss late night phone calls...miss just hanging out.

Anyway, so that all reminded me of everything that's old. But it's funny because when it's 3 or 4 (wow...old) years down the track you can place together the things that make you you. If you had've done that or hadn't of done that...you might not be in the same place today. If I hadn't of gone through some crappy times in year 12, I wouldn't have had the best friend I could right there beside me.

Then, on the other hand, the other things that suck. With no highschool, with no YITS and no uni life...you also get minus the friendships. Especially when they move to different places, or you live in a different place. Or the ones that live close to you...don't want much to do with you anymore. These things kinda hit me hard and I guess I've been thinking of them a lot lately. Anyway.

That, for now is my thoughts...I guess...now enjoy some pictures of my lovely best friend and boyfriend, Baz from around the place of stuff we've done, where we've been.

Here is Baz and myself at Olinda when we went to the Yarra Ranges Cafe...I highly suggest you go there!

This is Baz and myself at the Twenty 20 game, Gilly's last something for Australia...I think. Anyway, it was really quite fun! Yay, love a good action packed cricket match...with COLOURED uniforms and not in whites!

The above is at Parkdale last year, after my last day of YITS...so like the 18th of November or something. After the YITS formal, at Mum's friend Jenny's house. It's absolutely stunning, near the beach (walking distance)...where Baz took me round 1am when I got home from the formal...and just to make him all 'shucksy' about being Mr. Romantic, I'm allowed to brag...he asked me to dance (with no music) on the pier...let me hear ya say 'Awww'. Hehe.
