Time for the Friday Five...

1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind? Play guitar, bum around on the Net, chat with friends (in Real Life (tm) not online). Listen to loud music.

2. What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands? Go online, heheheh...

3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells? Mmmm i love the rich warm smell of real vanilla and similar 'warm' scents. I don't know if that counts as an aromawhatsit.

4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself? Definately by myself unless it is a very (very) small group of very (very) close friends.

5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't? Hmmm... I like to read very much, but apparently most people find reading a chore. Oh well. I also like creating order out of chaos for example sanding down a piece of wood or cleaning up something dirty - i find that relaxing too.

Well, there you have it, another look into the complexity which is me.

Have a nice weekend...

Aaaah it's been 3 days since i sat my last re-sit exam of the summer - no more exams to take until January 2003... my life is now meaningless and devoid of purpose...

Or maybe not.

I have 6 more days of [Mel Gibson in a kilt and blue paint] FRRREEEEEDOM!!!!!!! [/Mel Gibson in a kilt and blue paint] before University starts back on the 30th September. Then I will be concentrating on the 8 courses which the faculty of Engineering, in its infinite wisdom, has decided which i should take this semester. Namely,


  • Machining Processes & Analysis
  • LaPlace, Fourier Transforms & Fourier Series (a.k.a. Math so pure you don't need a calculator)
  • Probability
  • Thermodynamics II
  • Mechanics of Materials I
  • Computer Aided Engineering Design (CAED)
  • Physical Metallurgy
  • Control Systems I


So this week i am splitting my time between sleeping, reading John Grisham books (so far i've read 3 books in as many days), working on a couple of websites i'm designing, and learning "Man of Constant Sorrow". That was one weird movie, O Brother Where Art Thou, but i'm even considering buying it, and it's hooked me on bluegrass music. Funnily enough, on the same night i watched it, a talented Tennessee musician gave me a personal lesson in bluegrass...

I've been thinking a lot about music in the last couple of days.

My favourite thing to do is make music with other musicians, because sometimes there's something special going on, a chemistry and a synergy, and we create something greater than the sum of its parts.

More than anything, i want to share the rest of my life with people like that.

I want to live in Tennessee with a husband who loves making music, and to raise kids who can share our mutual passions for Jesus and music.

Yeah.
