Malandragem: You Want a Physicist to Speak at Your... →
thereisafish:
You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know...

Woo.
Had a great night with my cousins, Ciaran is especially easy to talk to. She has been showing me all around Sydney and doing all sorts of new stuff with me. We went out for cocktails this evening and all this random stuff, it was great.
We talk about how completely dysfunctional our family is, no matter what end of the spectrum you are on. It’s great to have someone so fun to talk to, and...

I am thankful for Lavender.
Purple flowers, scented leaves.
Dreamy thoughts, and drowsy eyes.
Tucked neatly underneath my pillowcase, to inhale serenity.
Drift off to familiar places…
Tiptoe barefoot out to the patio, to grab bunches in the middle of the night;
an angel stood nearby, to remain forever innocent in a garden filled with dreams.
A secret whisper and a hushed goodnight.
Forgot sunscreen for the first time....
Spent majority of my day in a car, the time that I wasn’t, it was relatively cloudy. My upper back and shoulders are burnt!!
Definitely wearing a t-shirt tomorrow rather than a tank.

I am thankful for rings. They are beautiful, if only one could have more fingers. Complex, and simple, ornate and ordinary, silver and gold, pricey and priceless; the list goes on and on.
I wear 8 rings, on 7 fingers, every single day. I take off 3 when I’m in the shower or combing my hair, because they occasionally snag on things. I don’t know why I wear them, but I feel naked...

I am thankful for beautiful voices. The men and women who read books, radio dramas, audio recordings, movies; those starring Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and David Suchet. The way that a perfect voice can calm you down and lure you into the veil of sleep.
I am rarely unable to sleep alone, unless I have the recordings on an Agatha Christie mystery, or even Harry Potter. Jim Dale is especially...

To become dirt.
I am going to be dirt someday.
I’m going to grow grass out of my toes,
and flowers out of my ears.
I’m going to full of life,
but it will no longer be mine.
I will become like so many before me.
My shell will harbor life and my soul will know no bounds.

I am thankful for heartbreak. The awful unbearable pain of heartbreak, is something that should always be remembered. It will practically kill you, but in the end, you will emerge a stronger person for it. I know I sound a little naive, but being 18 and having spent the past 4 years of my life in and out of relationships, I think I know a decent amount about the subject being as I’ve had the...

I spent the entire day in Glebe Park, reading, writing, and napping. For Christmas my mom got me a kindle, which my brother, Will, loaded with almost 1,000 books. I decided to give the Ilywhacker a rest, because it just felt a bit endless. I was scrolling through the kindle and found the Tales of Beedle Bard, by J.K. Rowling, the only Harry Potter book I hadn’t read, so I read it in about 45...

Today we went for a drive through Tidbinbilla, and it was absolutely breathtaking, I will post pictures later. On the drive, it lightly started raining, and my cousin, Spencer, was scared of the rain. Both my cousins are fairly frightened of the rain. I randomly remembered the day after a long drought in State College, my neighbor, Ray Lichvar came over to our house with pots, pans, and wooden...

I’m going to attempt to write about something I am thankful for everyday of the new year. I have a lot to be thankful for and I need to take time to appreciate those things, it will also help me write at least a paragraph everyday. I know I’m a day late technically, but my computer died while I was trying to type the first one up.
Last night, I was watching my aunt brush my cousins...

Roundabouts
I don’t know where we are going, and I won’t know till we are there.
Turning and turning halfway round, only to go straight on again.
My mind is a bit wobbly and the wheels haven’t stopped.
Running in circles endlessly, reminds me of childhood;
one that I had almost forgotten.
Do be quick, and circle round.
I’ve lost something, can I call you when it’s found?

So I’m in Vincentia, NSW. It’s prety here, fairly different than the beach areas in the States. They appeal to tourism, but still maintain a local lifestyle, whereas most beaches in the States do not. Fairly small town with an even smaller market. I like it. I took a long walk along the bay, for some much desired quiet time. I enjoy my cousins, but man they are loud.
I’m finally...
