Current Music: The Killers

Went to the X*air Games today at the Wellington waterfront. It was pretty impressive to see the skateboarders, inline skaters and BMXers on the 1/2 pipe. The flips, the height, the falling of bodies out of the air. It was cool.

Thank the gods for long weekends.

My friend Sara had her beautiful baby, Olivia Caitlin, on 12 May. Isn't she gorgeous. I'm so very happy for her, I know this is something she has been wanting for so long and she totally suits being a mother. As for me, I keep saying "I'll wait 5 years and see how I go..." but I've already been saying that for the past 2 years. I wonder when/if things will change and what the process is that takes place to make me feel different.
