100th post!

Just back from St Johns meeting, after not having been for more than a month! Nice peaceful drive until these two cars decided to fully speed and race past on either side of me on victoria rd on the way back. such dangerous drivers, hope they'll be ok and all

Ohhh a random fact i picked up tonight at St Johns. I've wondered about why the toilet lights at Central station are blue/purple for females (perhaps for the male toilets too, but i wouldnt know). Assumed that they have such a shade to make the toilets prettier! Hehe but it's actually a way of preventing people from injecting drugs into themselves in the toilets, cos with blue/purple lighting, they wouldn't be able to see the veins they have to poke the syringe into.

Anyway, work's been calling me everyday these past two days, so now i'll be working friday as well i think =( Was worried about how to manage and balance my time, but God's soothed my concerns by letting me cancel St Johns. My supervisor person is so nice! I was worried about pulling out of tmr because it's a big State duty and all, and i wasnt sure about their regulations, but now i've been permitted to turn up if i want and if i don't then it's not a problem =) or, i could go on thurs, something i hadnt known would be possible!! yay! really would like to go though, see how things turn out i guess

Been watching so many girly movies lately! For the record:

Sat night - A walk to remember (boohoo movie), Hitch (is that a girly movie?)
Sun night - Memoirs of a Geisha
Mon night - this chinese girly series my parents have been watching...last episode tonight or something
Tues late morning/early arvo - How to lose a guy in 10 days, Win a date with Tad Williams

Hehe never before have i watched so many chicks flicks in so short a period of time! Been great though, spending time with girls and girls only =) But yeah was reminded by how the relationships presented are so idealistic, and in most cases, so unrealistic. Even when things don't seem perfect, they end up being so perfect. Far be it in real life. On the contrary, i reckon relationships require hard work to say the least. Someone once said that falling in a love (loving someone and him or her loving you back) is a miracle, and in a sense, i'd agree. Difficult, in my opinion, to not let the society, the films, the novels, other people's relationships (even those u admire), set all your ideals for ur relationship ... but rather, letting God, His living Word, letting love do so ... or maybe i've just got the idea completely wrong at the moment. Hmm i'll think about it more later ... mum's calling me to drink soup =) hehe just got home and kinda missed dinner, unless u count pecan pie dinner =P

I think you're right about relationships. What makes a relationship successful is not having the right "spark" or "chemistry" or whatever society calls it. Rather, I think it is all about being willing to work to make the relationship successful, to be willing to overlook your partner's shortcomings while at the same time working at changing yourself to love with a love that is like Christ's...

From this perspective, most romance movies seem so ridiculous - they end when the guy gets the girl, but in real relationships this is where the story begins!
