*disclaimer: when i write a blog and then later type it for publishing, im shaking my head as much as you are trust me I'm sitting here on a chilly, rainy Sunday arvo sipping my peppermint tea and people watching on the island of rottnest. My observation of the last 30 minutes is that people really do do everything in a group. This awareness astounds me. I just witnessed the sweetness of love with a man who carried his wife, from shore to the boat. They must have done this a million times as he just moved into rush mode toting the kids, stroller and wife to the boat. She stands around watching him. The island is getting busy. My nice moments of quiet is quickly filling with chatter and kids. The sun is struggling to emerge from behind the black clouds. I have a feeling that it will eventually prevail. Rottnest at is beautiful. it's a perfect day get away- if you don't mind the hefty price tag. It's 99$ return with the bike rental; not exactly a cheap date for two. But for one, it's acceptable. Otherwise, I spend too much money shopping for people I know. Meeting up with Adrian and eddy on Monday night. I waited so long to even contact anyone in Perth. Mainly because I wanted to be alone. Wait- alone isn't true. At arms length is the best description. Because honestly, I'm never alone. I'm always in constant contact with everyone I know. I just don't want to physically see people I know face to face constantly. I've always been like that. I have always hated seeing people I know around town or when I'm out. And have been known to duck and hide if I notice them first. I guess that might come from knowing everybody and also as a kid, my mom would go out of her way, and still does, to stop and say hello to everyone. And she literally knows everyone. And they talk for hours. Oftentimes, a quick head nod or a short exchange is all that is necessary. SRW text me last night to tell me about a moving coming out by the makers of the Notebook. After a quick search, I find that Rachel McAdams is starring. She was Ali in the notebook. It does look good. I must go see it..... I have no idea or even a general understanding of how people eat what they eat. Don't they understand general health?? What you're putting into your body is a direct decision of how long you want to live. Eating bread is my weakness. I know those carbs quickly turn to sugars and fat. Pair that with an occasional burger and fry combo and it's enough to make a girl want to puke if she attempts to eat it all. Physicall makes you sick. That is your body screaming,'hey! I want to live past the age of 50 you know??' Jesus, a creature just came on to the deck and has crawled around like 20 people's feet and not one person has noticed. It's sad how much life passes us by without any realization. If its the small things that make us whole, does this mean most of us aren't complete? I just picture a world of missing pieces. Bacause we're all wrapped up in, well what?? What is it that takes our attention away from being whole? Sea gulls have to be the ugliest birds ever. I look out into the water and see a rainbow. Another thing I wonder if I'm alone in seeing. I see two seagulls attacking two innocent people as they try to eat their subway. Cracks me up. Reminds me of when SRW and I were, hmmmmm was it in Kaniva? Or Melbourne? I can't remember,but I fed a swan my subway and we were mobbed by birds in every species. What kind of bird is that one? I'd point and ask over and over. Each time his response was the same, i don't know. Then for Christmas he bought me a bird book. Off to catch my ferry. Till another day thoughts. Xoxo
