"What do you usually do when I'm gone?" "Wait for you to come back."
I can't wait to run away from reality
For a time, suspended
To stand still and breathe
But what I wish to know
Is will you still be here when I get home
Will our time be suspended, as if it never even changed
Because you're all I've got in this big, wide world
And I need a break, I need to escape
But most of all I need to know
If you'll be here just the same
Because soon enough I'll come running home
As if nothing ever changed

"It's a blustery day, Piglet..."
Off to KYCK in less than an hour! I'm so excited. But it's going to be terribly cold up in Katoomba. I don't like cold weather generally, but there I are a few things I absolutely love about winter:
Hot chocolate
Ugg boots
Hoodies
Scarves
Fire
Being in the country at night and looking up at God's beautiful universe
Writing on fogged-up windows
Snuggling
And now I feel quite warm and fuzzy thinking of all these things. :)

Stuff....
A list for people who know me. Here are 43 things you may not know....
1. I'm an introverted extrovert ... if that makes sense. I might be the quiet one of the group sometimes, but trust me I wouldn't be anywhere else for the world.
2. My favorite foods are pizza, chicken and potato. Yum.
3. I adore Shakespeare. Macbeth is my favorite tragedy and A Midsummer Night's Dream my favorite comedy.
4. I can't wait for Heaven!
5. I won't say no to chocolate
6. I hate the way my nails looks and I wish I was brave enough to buy nail polish and paint them ... but people would make a big deal out of me wearing nail polish so I won't....
7. I've always wished I had an older brother.
8. I already wish I wasn't 17....
9. I wish my family played more boardgames
10. I wish I didn't spend so much time on the computer, but due to TAFE it can't really be helped
11. I always sleep with about 3 or 4 pillows
12. I get nervous around big dogs
13. I haven't owned a pair of sunglasses in like 3 years :(
14. I pretty much can only drink milk when I have some form of chocolate to go with it (or milo), but I will occasionally get a random craving for the stuff and down a glass in seconds
15. I love talking about God, the bible, or anything related to Christianity; I'll love it if you start a conversation about it :D
16. I used to dislike getting random hugs from people, but a few certain friends have shaped me over the years and now physical touch is one of my two loves languages (the other being quality time).
17. I can make really awesome chocolate chip cookies from scratch from a recipe I've memorized
18. I basically can't cook anything else!
19. I used to love Pokemon. Don't play it anymore, but I certainly won't diss you for playing it even if you're over 14. Gotta catch 'em all! :)
20. I like looking at people's shoes, and I will often remember what pair of shoes you were wearing on a particular day rather than the rest of your outfit. Weird, I know...
21. I had two rings up til recently ... one I lost down the back of the couch, looked for it it but never found it ... and the other I've misplaced. And now I'm sad.
22. If I'm comfortable enough to bag you out in front of other people it actually means you're one of the people I love most! Sorry. :)
23. When I have a boyfriend he won't have any hoodies because I'll have stolen them all ;)
24. I'm way too picky about the kind of music I listen to ... but maybe that's because it costs so much to buy music these days >.<
25. What makes the most angry is when you pretend like you know what I'm thinking ... how could you know?!?
26. I wish I could play the cello
27. I hate math and can barely do anything mathematical past a year 8 level....
28. I love it when I've spent the day with you and when I get home I can still smell you on my clothes :)
29. If you hand me a Sharpie I promise I will write on you! Hehehe....
30. I hate it when people shorten "I love you" to ILY. There is no meaning in that. If you really love me, tell me, please.
31. I love to eat things for breakfast that aren't breakfast food, ie, cold pizza, leftover macaroni, apple pie....
32. I might complain when we end up staying at your house far longer than we intended because our mums didn't stop talking, but really, that homework can wait ... I don't ever, ever want to leave you!
33. Toy Story, to this day, is my favorite movie EVER.
34. Don't chew gum around me. I hate, hate, hate that stuff. But I guess that's lucky for you because I'm probably one of the few people in the world who won't ask you for a stick of gum. ;)
35. If you ever find yourself saying to me, 'Gee Erin, why're you so quiet all of the sudden?' If I'm not showing signs of sheer exhaustion, this is your cue to realize something is very wrong. I'm either really mad at someone (possibly you) or something's majorly upsetting me.
36. French Toast and grilled cheese sandwiches are the greatest things you can make that include two slices of bread.
37. I consider myself a converter, not one who gets converted, so brownie points for you if you get me into a band/tv show because I'm pretty picky when it comes to that sort of stuff ... blah sometimes I hate my own choices. Anyone have any bands they can suggest to me?? I need new music...
38. I like hanging things on my walls to make my room pretty :)
39. I can't wait for the final Scott Pilgrim book (July 20th, people!!)
40. I can't wait to go to the US but I'm afraid I'm going to get very, very lonely during the six weeks we are gone... pray for me?
41. If you're reading this, I love you :D
42. I love taking pictures
43. I wish a certain someone was here so I could hug them!

I love country trains....
Feeling really good today after hanging out with Keira, Jayden and Michal. Gosh I missed them! We had a swell time down in Woy Woy, playing Scattergories and wandering along the beach and through the mangroves. Definitely an awesome way to spend a Saturday. A holiday was just what I needed, even if it was just for the day. I was having such a good time that I didn't take any photos, even though I brought my camera. Sorry about that. But don't worry, Keira took some :) So I shall upload some later, perhaps. For now, to bed I go.

Time came a creeping, oh time's a loaded gun....
Time goes so fast! It seems like only yesterday that Evie Grace, my youth leader's daughter, was born. Here she is at two days old:
Isn't she just perfectly angelic?
I love her.
Another thing, my brother is turning 14, and he is having a murder mystery party. I turned 14 three years ago and I did a murder mystery party then. My friends are still talking about it, so it feels like it was only last year or something! Except that I'm, well ... older.
Last time we went to the USA I was 12. That was 5 years ago. We're planning on going back again soon, which will be awesome, because when I was 12 I was still quite the tomboy and could not appreciate clothes/swimmer shopping in Hawaii and California and the neat jewelry in Nevada and Arizona. Plus I can go on the biggest rides at Disneyland now.
But I still remember the last trip so clearly! Here's a couple of pics. I have new camera now, so can't wait to take thousands of awesome photos when we make the trek to the Homeland again.
And here she is now! She's 1 and a half.
Isn't she just perfectly angelic?
I love her.

LOOK HOW TANNED MY BROTHER IS!! Hahaha. I love it.
