So it's 2004. I entered this year a little high on coolers, with cameras and chips at a party that was hosted by a complete stranger. It wasn't that bad really....

hyper-friends


Me with friend who had tooooo much to drunk. I mean drink.


This was not planned. Adrian you dweeb!!


nor was this. Adrian you double dweeb!!


Me with groovy chick


I know what you did Last year


Way to go to the groovy chick back there who can do 163 blows in 1 minute with one nostril.
Charming


And we played nintendo and cards. And I was buried in the snow. Twice. came running back in, shivering, with cuts and bruises and snow down my crack. And They were doing some kinda weed thing i think. My jacket came out covered in ash.

Yes it was a pretty ok party.
But No, it was a terrible way to usher in the new year.

2004 crept in under a blanket of swearing, irritation and impatience.
We started this pristine brand new year, shivering in the slush, swearing at automated Translink messages, stranded at the 22nd and Rupert busstop. Grumpy. Pissing everyone off. Now would be a good time to roll into the gutter and proclaim 2004 to be a complete and utter failure.

But I won't I guess, that's where God's grace comes in I guess. To salvage.
That's what was missing as the needle rolled over 12.

God.

Today I wrestled, fought, built and played...

in a winter wonderland.

Adrian wearing his heart out on his face


Note: it almost never snows here


This baby has like 5 parents


I love this shot. Looks like the thing slapped Adrian


Post Soccer Damage


And it seeps into even when you're showering. When Adrian decides to sneak up into the next cubicle to dump snow on unsuspecting you.

You ought to be slapped.

1 down 7834729 to go

I will never never never rid myself of dirt and ugliness.

Time to get down on my knees, and this time, stay down.

as I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord...

The world is melting. Slipping and sliding as the sun does its work.
The world is metling. With snow and ice turning to slush and water.
The world is melting. Disintegrating, falling apart, defeated. Helpless

But I bet there's still beauty tucked away somewhere. I sure hope so.

There are few pleasures in the world that can measure up to waking up on a wintry morning to see the sun stream in and the world engulfed in a curtain of snow. Especially if it's the day after christmas, and you're wearing your christmas present: warm wooly pajamas with sheep bears and clouds. Beautiful.



But why can't I help but... eat?

Fire and Ice

It's snowing here at UBC.

And I'm in love. Still.

Awareness is only worth anything if you know what to do with all that knowledge.

Sureallism

Not here
Not there
Not really anywhere.

*Gah*

Watching people makes me feel rather ungrounded. I'm still not too sure of who I am to society or where I stand. Objectivity is impossible isn't it? So I watch people and wonder if they see the fear in my eyes.

Burn.

The 2003 me

I realise I'm not a very cheerful giver.
my gifts are hardly selfless so now I wonder that when I give, is it truely in the name of Love or in the name of... me?

Anyhow i'm off to the moutains for a couple of days. Pray for my safety.

Love,
Hannah

I realise I don't have anything to say.
Strange.

usually I'm bursting with emotion, a torrent of expression but today,

Blank.

That's not too bad not too good.

I wouldn't call it peace, or restlessness, nor limbo.

Haha this is strange.

Oh well, on to something more innane, I think I'll be able to survive winter. 5 of us pulled our resources together to conjure up a very very decent meal for dinner. So it's 2 meals a day, Cereal for the first and whatever we can forage for the second. A movie or so in the evening and a gym workout session at midnight. Not bad.
