Ladies and Gentlemen, my best friends.
There are some things you can’t go through without becoming friends - surviving world-suck is one of them.
But seriously, BEST FRANDSSSS
I hope that right now, you feel better than I do, because I love you both.
These are sad-happy photos.
They are of goodbye hugs from two of the most precious ladies I know. Three out of four monster-friends!
The third photo is of crab-love, which is the best love, because it goes sideways. It’s also tasty. And it makes monster-friends laugh when you’re saying goodbye through bus windows and at airports.

We will definitely be filming and photo taking! I love film editing and that wouldn’t be too hard to do for you from afar if you could send me photos and/or footage!

I’m so excited I can’t believe it’s TWENTY FOUR DAYS :D
I have so many filming/photo shoot ideas, but not the man-power or personal ability to pull them off.
I’m hopefully getting a video camera from Mum for my birthday (fingers crossed!) but until then I don’t really even have decent filming stuff. BUT SO MANY IDEAS.
So, there’s my baby. I had my first scan on Monday, which was to determine that yes, there is definitely something living in there, and that everything was going as it should be.
I was feeling pretty weird beforehand, because I was still struggling a bit with believing it was real. When she…
I may have squealed at this.
IT’S A WEE BABY
INSIDE OF YOU
YOU ARE GROWING IT
YOU.
AAHHH
I like that you need to say “local”.
shineyourlightmyway replied to your photo: DAMN. NOW they have the PERFECT skirt I want for…
That is so good! But doesn’t actually look that hard to MAKE…you probably could make something similar?
_______
I’m glad you find it amusing. Lol. I’d rather you and Sarai were ‘local’ but, you know :P
Also, I maybe could? I’m kinda counting on finding a longish brown skirt and fixing it to look like that, rather than making from scratch. Sigh. I have lots of things on my ‘to make’ list. Hmmm.

shineyourlightmyway replied to your post: you know you’re tired when you are reduced to tears at your sister bringing home the wrong copy of Mockingjay that you need to complete your Hunger Games books.
SO WITH YOU. I am super annoyed because there’s a new Travelling Pants book but they released new cover art at the same time and there’s no way to get a copy that matches my old books. Would literally buy a whole new set so they match.

That wouldn’t be weird at all, I promise. And I always feel like I both have too many clothes and nothing to wear. And I am super anal about matching covers of my books. Never feel bad about complaining. I love you.

REASONS WHY SARAH IS MY BEST FRIEND <3
Hawk Nelson and P.O.D are going to be here tomorrow. I LIKE FEELING CONNECTED TO YOU

NOT ONLY THAT BUT I JUST SAW THIS STATUS:
Truth.
AND HE’LL BE WHERE YOU ARE.
Also there was a Perth band “Calling of Levi” that I heard yesterday and I was like PERTH = SARAH PRETTY MUCH. :D Also they were great.
