One of those...

I'm tired, sick, bored and coming down from my party last night and the weeks worth of preparation that went into it. It was a wicked party and totally worth all the cleaning up I had to do this morning, but now I feel kind of flat. I need a new project.
Maybe this is why people have jobs they find rewarding... there's a thought!

I miss things today. I miss everything and everyone I've ever met today... even Tokyo... even Portland!

Here are a few things I miss in random order:

shells from Zushi beach, the view from the top of the hill near my house in Yokohama, the noise from pachinko parlours, chocolate and poppyseed cake from Europa on Acland Street, coffee from the hole in the wall cafe off Carlisle Street, St. Kilda Esplanade markets, The Espy, 1000yen beer blaster in Shinjuku, Tokyo Karaoke, sitting in cafes reading and watching people dodge puddles, Melbourne trams, Tokyo subway, Japanese crowds, $2 felafel from The Village, 55 Bar, watching movies in the theatres without subtitles, the skipping girl, Bridgewater beach, Portland wind, Ella the cat, coming home to people and dinner already cooked, waking up and not hitting my head, cheap tofu, driving through the countryside, Java Juice, good live music, good beer on tap, Vegie Bar, knowing there is always someone to talk to, dancing with Thi, Marnie, Clara and Zoe, playing with Des, Matt, Luke, Haydn, Ben and Francis, laughing with Mo, Barnesy, Jhuny and Mace, eating pancakes with my family on Sunday morning, running into people in the street, sweet bean buns from Chinatown, Peace Bar, drinking cocktails with Ro, karaoke with Jodi, Stephen, Dan and Jason. hangover mornings with John, Pal and Dionne, beach cricket with the Zushi gang, teaching english, singing gigs, studying at Uni, icecream sundaes with Jon, Con and Dane, shopping with Grant, hiking with Chris, eating pancakes with Gini and Alison, listening to Radiohead with Anna, dancing at the Night Cat with anyone who'll let me, coffee with Des, caiparinhas with Ben and Mike, wearing long skirts with Mandy, having the energy to feel like I'm young enough to do anything, karaoke at The Laundry with the Borders crew, Melbourne, Portland, Perth, Tokyo, Yokohama, New York, London, Copenhagen...

Life is good but it goes so quickly sometimes.
