It's starting to get a little warmer so I left my window open a little last night. I woke up at 4 am to some awful meowing to find my kitty stuck with her nails to the top of the flyscreen unable to get down :roll:

Silly kitty :blush:

Gigs and concerts.
Getting nice unexpected text messages and emails.
Cuddling my kitty.
The fact that I only have three more books to find by my favourite author.
Rummaging around bookshops for them.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

compliments... my housemates have been complimenting me today.. i've been told that i have a perfect body, that i look pretty and that they like my skirt...

it's strange, i find them hard to accept and are convinced people are lying but they're not the overly-complimentary people so they mean a lot even if i cannot fully believe them (i have very low self-estemm).

god that was a ramble. but it's a few little words that can really make a day.
