Buh-bye, for now.

OK, here's the deal.

In around 10 hours I leave Auckland to go to Sydney. From there, other than a short stop-off at home on the 11th, I will not be home until the 23rd of February.

To say that I'm feeling a bit excited is an understatement.

Now, sadly, I get the feeling that for the next month and a half, I shall be relatively isolated from the internet. I don't look at this as necessarily a bad thing, but it makes me sad that I'll have very little contact with the people I've gotten to know over the last 6 months. What little internet I do have will probably be spent communicating with family and close friends. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this whole thing to have fun, and the internet is most certainly not my life, but I will miss the contact.

Finally, Nic - you have to get in touch with me. I do plan on coming to see you, so we just need to organise dates.

Peace out everyone, and enjoy the first part of your 2009.
- Lucas <3

Nothing Better

Possibly one of the cutest, yet saddest songs ever made. It makes me smile, but makes me want to cry at the same time.

European Craziness

So I realise today that I leave for Europe in less than a month. I'm fucking scared. There are a few reasons why:

1. I'm not a huge fan of flying, especially since it's a really long haul. I'm not scared of flying in and of itself, more that I hate being cooped up into a small space for an extended period of time.

2. I land in Paris, and the only French I speak is basically 'bonjour', 'oui', and a phrase which means 'I am a bottle of ham'. How the hell am I going to survive?!

3. I really don't have enough money for this trip. Chances are I will end up sleeping in a doorway somewhere. I don't mind this so much, but I know it would make my parents freak out if they thought I was sleeping on the streets of Europe.

4. I will be alone for the last part of the trip, where I will be in the UK. I don't even have any internet friends in the UK, to the best of my recollection, so it will be me all on my lonesome. Now, I'm quite happy to entertain myself, but I hate being away from friends. They make everything twice as fun.

5. I'm flying halfway around the world for no known reason, other than some desire to spend all of my money, and hang with friends! AHHHHHHHHH!

Methinks Skype shall be called upon lots while I am over there.

Greenlane

So this song I'm writing is taking longer than expected.

It seems I get frustrated with these lyrics, and I feel like I have to try and avoid all cliches. Then again, I write it as a song which could be filled with cliches, and almost have a stronger meaning behind it.

Basically, the song is from the perspective of someone who has someone who is deeply in love with them, yet they can't return that love. Every stereotypical love situation they get into drives the protagonist further away. This is why I described it as an "anti-love song".

If I could be arsed, I could possibly flesh it out into a short story, but I like it when things are shorter, so I think it stays as a song.

I'm unsure as to why I'm blogging about this, but I just kind of feel like I need to throw some words on the page. I'll get back to writing the song tomorrow I think.
It's funny how writing can absolutely suck you in and capture all of your attention.

Sick

*cough splutter cough*

Seriously, who the fuck gets a cold in summer?!
Me, that's who.

I swear I get sick at the most inappropriate times.

Anyways, I think I had a point in coming to write this blog...

...

Maybe not.

Erm, I'm gonna go now.
