I know youtube is bad for me but I just can’t help it.

For some reason I had the song “My Heart Will Go On” in my head and envisioned it in sign language…I swear I’ve seen it somewhere before. So I youtube-d it and found this. It’s not what I was thinking of but it’s still cool. I also found this version of “All The Small Things”.

Kat and Jeff told me about this video but I never bothered to find it until today…

Let’s say it all together, “I was robbed by two men!”

When I was about four years old my dad took me to get an immunisation. Of course he didn’t tell me where we were going but as we were driving I slowly started recognising the landmarks and realised that we were going to the medical centre. Instant fear set in thanks to the tv campaign headed by Billy T James exclaiming, “Don’t be a rooster, go and get your booster!”
To cut a long story short I actually remember him pulling me out of the car through the driver’s side. I remember losing grip of the handbrake and grabbing onto the steering wheel in a last ditch effort to save myself from the pain of an injection. In the end it turned out to just be a polio sip aka two drops of liquid on my tongue.

My fear of needles has not improved as I’ve grown older only now I find myself in the ridiculous position of driving myself to the medical centre where there is only me convincing myself that it isn’t a good idea and me trying to calm myself down. What fun is it to fear needles if you’re going to get immunised volunteerily?!

I have a list of things to do but it is getting longer rather than shorter.

Something I love about being at home: I don’t need to plug my laptop into an adapter before I plug it into the wall…I just plug it straight in…bliss.

I can taste the snow already.

…my first post back in the land of the long white cloud. That’s right, I’m back in NZ for a wee while…
