watching the news about the earthquake, and then with things in burma, made me feel so sad. i'm the sort of person who always wants to make everything better when things are bad, those sort of mass-scale disasters are just so grounding and terrible.

take care becca, i hope you feel cheered up soon <3

DasBecca : Sides of the coin.

you have such a way with words. death is such a hard issue to come to terms with, even though it really is just part of the cycle of life, it is not an easy thing to deal with. maybe elias has a friend who has had a death in the family? or has seen something on tv or in a book that made him think about it? i think it's really good how you're upfront and honest with him about it, it makes me all teary, especially the way he sounds so stoic and grown-up, watching tv to 'take his mind off things'.

i'm not sure if you got my last email? it's okay if you didn't have time to reply, i'm just ever-paranoid that it got lost along the way somewhere, heh.

DasBecca : Busy celebrating.

DasBecca : Lobsters.

DasBecca : The Green Book.

i want to know the gossip! i can't wait! i love gossip! and exclamation marks!

also, i totally feel you about reading old journals. mine are completely cringe-worthy and i just want to go in a time machine so i can slap my sixteen-year-old self in the face and tell her to smarten up. of course she'd probably be horrified at the unadventurous life she's going to get in seven years, since back then my biggest ambition was to have a house with decor that included a coffin and fake cobwebs, heh. at the same time it is nice to have a record of what i was thinking and doing in my past adventures, it's funny all the little details that you forget with time.

DasBecca : Storyboarding.

we're going to see iron man sometime this week i think. did jason enjoy it? it's totally a boys movie but i'm such a good girlfriend that i'm willing to have an evening being bored by explosions, seeing as i might even get some sugary junk food out of the deal ;p

DasBecca : Spring forward.

hey, you have comments now! consider me your official first comment tester :3 sorry to hear jason is under the weather, i hope he is feeling better soon. and i'm glad he wasn't fired! hehe. thanks for your super sweet email the other day, i'll write back to you very soon <3

DasBecca : Half a decade.

DasBecca : Stitch in time.

the deku people look so cool! i've said it already but eli's birthday party sounds like so much fun!

we've spent the day cleaning for our house inspection next week. now i'm being lazy and watching gilmore girls... i've almost finished the 4th season and i have no more dvds. so i might watch a movie or something to stretch it out until i can borrow season 5, hehe. i've also become addicted to playing 'cooking mama 2' on my ds.

DasBecca : Such great heights.

whenever i wrote about sex in my writings i would do it in a 'less is more' kind of way... i like to think of it in a movie where they cut from the moment before to the morning after. i think you handled it well in that extract- just the right amount of details. ah, i can't wait to read it when you're done!

DasBecca : 2 + 2 = 0

wow, the birthday site looks amazing! i love the idea of a zelda theme, i bet everyone will have a great time. happy early birthday to elias!

DasBecca : What I did

Wed, 2 Apr 2008 20:54:11 +0000

now i want chips and dip, darn it! hehe.

we went to aldi's when we stayed in melbourne. we don't have them here. i was way too excited about the giant box of random-brand green tea i found. aldi reminds me of the 'monster mart' in the simpsons for some reason. i didn't see any giant person-shaped bottles of maple syrup though unfortunately.

also, michelle looks great! it's amazing how much different she looks- in a good way.

DasBecca : Mr. Blue Skies.

you make me want to move to your area so much! i need to find australia's equivalent to north carolina, hehe.

DasBecca : Holier than thou.

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:00:06 +0000

i had friends in high school who were the kind of awful 'holier than thou' types that you mention here. one girl actually said to me that i wasn't allowed to have an opinion on some random topic because 'you're not religious so you don't have any morals'. it always confused me because even with my limited knowledge of those sorts of things i had assumed that being christian was about love and tolerance of other people, but maybe i missed something? heh.

i find it really refreshing to know people who i guess consider themselves christian and use their beliefs in a way to express kindness and love, and respect for other people. i don't really know what i believe exactly, but i don't think god would want people to be a jerk to others in his name, like those girls. grrah! hehe, now i'm all mad too. punch them in the throat once for me!

DasBecca : Rollicking.

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:37:27 +0000

hehe, that picture is great!

omg sims 3! i can't wait a year! well at least i have until then to manage a computer with a bigger hard drive/better graphics card. still- *squee*!

sorry to hear you've been feeling sick, i'm glad you're better now, and it's good to hear you had a nice easter despite the illness. looks like you had great weather as well.

DasBecca : Baked.

awwh, poor addie, i hope she feels better soon! don't feel bad, it is so easy to get sunburned without even thinking about it, it doesn't make you a bad mum at all. i'm terrible and even forget to take care of myself in the sun, i have a t-shirt shaped tan from forgetting to put sunscreen on my arms :(

DasBecca : Good news, bad news.

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:28:29 +0000

happy birthday to michelle! i never realised she is about the same age as me (i turned 23 last september)... she seems so grown up, i mean in a good way! hehe. and yay for addie making potty-training progress *dances*

DasBecca : The Offspring.

elias' birthday party sounds like it will be awesome!~ its soo cute how he's a mini gamer :3

DasBecca : Blah blah blah.

Fri, 7 Mar 2008 20:00:01 +0000

hope you feel better soon! heart you!

DasBecca : Doing without.

good luck with the soda de-tox :D

i've tried to cut out as much diet coke as i can... sometimes i just really crave it, other times i don't feel like it. i've found buying cans was a really fast way to drink too much, you open the fridge and see the can sitting there looking all refreshing, and before you know it you've drank four sodas in a day and yeah... my main reason for cutting out was because i don't want it to wreck my teeth :F i sometimes drink soda water when i'm in the mood for something carbonated. it has the bubbles like normal soda and no caffiene/acid/etc so its not too bad.
