Chasing Cars

This entry contains lots of bits and pieces.

No order, no real sense, just, well, bits and pieces. If you read it all, give yourself a pat on the back.

  • Some good car news - the other driver admitted liability, so my excess has been waived (hallelujah!) so I don't have to fork out nearly $1000 after all. Insurance has apparently got an assessor on the job, so I have to play the waiting game again to find out a) what the hell is wrong with the car, b) what needs fixing, c) WHEN it will get fixed and d) when I'll get my baby back again. I've seriously felt ill about the whole mess since Sunday, not particularly sick, but just not right. I hope this passes soon, because I'm tired of feeling this way.



  • The thought of one day teaching overseas, possibly in Europe, is freaking me out. In a good way, but I'm still freaking out. Yep. Don't even ask me why I'm thinking about this right now, when I have so much to do in the next term and I don't even know what the hell is happening next year. Brain overload.



  • The gym was packed with people again today. I enjoyed it much, much more when I didn't have to panic about finding a spot on the bloody circuit. And I hate stretching my sweaty, post-gym body on the mats RIGHT next to other sweaty, post-gym bodies. It's called space, people. Use the next damn mat over.



  • My new shoes are making my feet go numb. The identical joggers I had before the dodgy stitching incident didn't do this. I am confused. They're the same make as the old ones, the same size, everything is the same. Why are they feeling different?



  • I recieved two emails about Flat Stanley coming to visit. Once he's finished his trip with me, my momma wants to take him around with her for a wee trip (convenient, no postage!) so he'll pop off to Ngaire in a week or so. Kathy has also wanted to have a visit while Stanley's down under, so we'll get a sharing system up and running for that. Sound good?



  • Lastly. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. Probably the world's most over played song right now, but since it was playing as I typed this blog post up, I'd like to pop the lyrics in. They're exactly how I'm feeling right now. Scary how exact. Have a great night.




We'll do it all
Everything
On our own


We don't need
Anything

Or anyone


If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie
with me and just forget the world?


I don't quite know
How to say

How I feel


Those three words
Are said too much
They're not
enough


If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
and just forget the world?


Forget what we're told
Before we get too
old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life


Let's waste time

Chasing cars
Around our heads


I need your grace
To remind me

To find my own


If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you
lie with me and just forget the world?


Forget what we're told
Before
we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life



All that I
am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can
see


I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that
these things will never change for us at all


If I lay here
If I just
lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

    Glad that witch assumed responsibility, if it makes you feel better, imagine what a SHIT week she is having!

    Teaching overseas will be fantastic, you won't want to come home. I didnt :( and I was just a Receptionist.

    I had the numb feet thing too, someone did explain it to me, but I forget... sorry!

  2. Since it was the other person's fault - they shoudl give you a rental car for free. That might be a highlight!
