long time...

what a dreadful cliche is that which drove me to finally, FINALLY, returning to my beloved blog, after so many months of inexcusable neglect. and so first and foremost, i shall apologise. gomennasai. which is japanese for i'm sorry. (informal)

second, a list, which shall serve as an update of my overprocessed thoughts as of late, as well as hopefully, offer something for you all to dip your toes into, and try at least twice.
Noah and the Whale
Raspberries and Yogurt
John Hughes films
chick-lit
road-tripping
exploring the Dandenongs
Lindt hot chocolate and vanilla chai lattes
the city after hours
the city the morning after one too many tequila shots
the city in general
The Jack Roller

and of course, i have to include something on the list which i would advise you all to stay very far away from - the 'who cares less' game.

unfortunately, this warning is perhaps too little too late, and we have probably all fallen prey to this ridiculously self-destructive game. it requires no explanation, for most of us are familiar with it, and as for those who fortunately are not, the name says it all. this twisted, toxic aspect of courtship, for want of a more modern word, is the thing that causes me to fall into a black mood despite the hours upon hours of Immense Fun that has been had, and sadly it is a highly addictive, stupidly unavoidable trap into which we all must stumble at some point in our lives. so for those who have not yet experienced it, my advice is to tread carefully and be on your guard.

but now i feel like i have something in my eye, and slumber is calling. goodnight.
