... it's just like that game you play in school, I'm going on a picnic, where you'd start with the first letter of the alphabet and you'd say I'm going on a picnic and I'm going to bring and you name something you'd bring to a picnic starting with A, and then it would go to the next person and they would say I'm going on a picnic and I'm going to bring and they'd repeat your thing starting with A and then go onto name something starting with B, and then to the next person who'd name A, B and add a C, and, repeat, repeat, and so on, and so on ...
I'm going to watch the end of the world, and I'm going to bring, an avalanche, a burning city, a country filled with confusion, a determined yet misinformed leader, an ego crushed by failure, forty screaming Christians and Catholics all praying they were ones who were right, the ghost of my childhood, hot chocolate, indecision, Justine who never knew the rules, a killer hangover from the night before, little hope for the future, marshmallows (for the hot chocolate and fire), no regrets, an obsession, a permanent sense of fear and dread, the quiet, roller-blades, Still as a soundtrack, Toby, an umbrella-ella-ella, other versions of the truth, a bottle of water, my own xanthodont xenagogue, you all, and zero sense of accomplishment.

I also like it when it rains outside and everyone holes up inside with DVDs and video games and snack food. It is really delightful. I like it especially when we're camping and it's storming outside so we have to stay in the tent or car or trailer and play cards and talk. It's so much fun. I am a sucker for close human companionship in small groups!
After Melbourne I'm going to Brisbane for Christmas, then back to Sydney for NYE until I leave.

You don't have to hope, I assure you I'm smiling. Lots.
Thank you so very much
