Windows and faces

This morning i woke up slightly panicked and stricken with tired. Hehe i had been up late into the night meddling with HTML and then widgets and nifty things in preparation to launch our project on the first, which incidentally i thought was tomorrow... but isn't coz tomorrow is the 31st.

But anyway i get this idea that a project so ultra-awesome should have it's own space, and people could bask in its cyberspatial awesomeness independent of other rambles by me... so i meddled as i said, with creating such a space... but this takes much time and effort... even thinking of what to call this 'project' started giving me the stress vibes. What to do, where to go... how is this even going to be awesome?

Haha... unmotivated, defeated and on the verge of postponement... i thought- i need to just stop thinking about it and do the things i need to do. So i mentally listed the days chores after dropping Tivs at school, Che and Stella at Childcare and feeding JC lunch then putting him to sleep... i proceeded to plonk myself on facebook and waste a good half hour doing nothing.

Hehe at which time Sonny Newen my associate from the long lost years of TAFE and oftentimes annoying purveyor of pointless Youtube clips... messages me on MSN and asks some questions about a new colleague of his, who, in this strange and small world... happens to be an associate of mine also, from the long lost years of Teletech.

I answer his stalker-like questions with a frankness i am sure he appreciates, (if he asks you Lyza, we met at a stripclub where we were lesbian vampire zombies and fell in love) and once satisfied with my adequate response to his interrogation-  i demand that he uses his powers of motivation gleaned from watching hours of youtube to motivate me. And he makes lame excuses about being plastered from a weekend of childless debauchery and refuses to comply with my requests.

So, as i do being the expert stirrer of shit that i am, i log onto my trusty facebook account and spy the lovely Lyza-  former colleague of mine, now unfortunate co-worker of STD Sonny... and proceed to make merry by spreading vicious and partly truthful rumours about the man himself...

This works splendidly to lift my spirits and i go on to complete all the housework with a spring and a frolic... cackling gleefully at Sonnys expense, and before you nice respectable folks all go feeling sorry for him, he is abundant in expense accounts and can thus afford these small costs to raise my spirits. And i did politely thank him for doing so, and even offered him a part in our project.

Which - i have now thus named "THEY and I,  in 365" coz it is about them, and i and 365 days and it rhymes. Clever right?? Haha

Anyway... i have a merry chat with Lyza and Sonny when he gets back from 'lunch' also known as 'running away from the pretty new girl at work in shame coz Vien is telling her all my dirty little secrets for half an hour hoping she has goldfish memory and will think i'm heaps cool and goodlooking again by the time i get back'. Haha... ahh i love making up other peoples thoughts. It's a hobby bourne of domestic incarceration and methinks its a keeper.

So my mood has lifted and i am now relaxed and ready to take on the revolution of small and impressionable peeples.... but first i had to get dinner out of the way.

However... before doing so i happen upon another familiar face in the myriad of faces on that marvelous blackhole of time wastage called facebook...

Feeling full of mirth and happyjoyness i say hi, to another memory of past lives... and he politely returns my part racial slur part gibberish excuse of a greeting-  with loveliness about finding old letters and being reminded of my then awesomeness.

Right then i am in love with Facebook, i am grateful for it has returned to me, in grown up forms, my favourite of all the worlds people. It has given me a window into their new lives and i am honoured to share in the marriages, the first photos of newborns... to have insights into their everydays and conversations about the missing years between the memory and now... to be happy for their presents, for their presence and our now in someways- shared future... and to laugh again with them- at how quickly time has slipped away from us...

Despite the years and ripples between i know that there are certain moments that have been wrapped in their own cocoons of loveliness- a shared memory of who we were.

***********************************************
It is now extremely late as i have been distracted once more between sentences, and plundered my time indulging in more conversations with the many splendid people i have met in my life thus far.

So i'm gonna just wrap this up here... so that i may begin tomorrow in a coupla hours when They awaken.

Today i give thanks, to Facebook for all the things i've mentioned. For the rays of light and laughter scattered into my days by friends of past and present. The people who knew me, who know me now and got to know me again in words and pictures since. (and vice versa)

Thanks especially to Sonny, who inadvertently did what he said he could not or would not do... also for all those late night conversations about laundry and life. Despite my constant barrage of insults, I am glad i met you, and it's funny coz i feel in some way i've always known you. Such people in my life are wonderful reminders that connections are made in an instant, and sometimes last for good.

To Lyza, who reminded me of all the loveliness of Teletech, despite the complaints often made of the place itself- the people were always smiles and warm wishes, great laughs, good fun and sugar filled goeyness from me feeding them excess amounts of it. Haha...

To Adrian, who will always be one of my favourite people for no other reason than he is himself and the memory of his name is bathed in the warmth and wonderful light of simple times and simple truths.

Thank you.

You made my day and renewed my spirits.

And Luke, who perhaps most importantly, reminded me that to begin a revolution, one must obtain the proper headgear. Haha always a a pleasure to converse with you my good sir.

There is more, but we will leave it for the morrow.

*licks Facebook thus licking you all* Haha mass attack lick combo!! LOL you love me and even if you don't i love you all.
