Good things come in threes.

Interesting day, yesterday, for a threefold of reasons.

1) I took a dump, not once, not twice, but thrice in a 12 hour period! Memorable, to say the least.

2) 't Was my 27th birthday. Fun.

3) Yesterday we were camping on a camp site right smack in the middle of the yet another national park (Royal National Park, no less - just south of Sydney), just off a tiny town called Bundeena (population, like, seven). Less than a hundred steps from our tent was a lovely little beach, and it was on this beach, in the dying hours of January 15th, 2007, that I gave myself the best birthday gift anyone could ever give himself (I'm a greedy little bugger, I am) - I asked my girlfriend (Marianne, for future reference) to marry me.

She said yes.

Holy hell.

Cheers

I know it's huge! Bigger than huge! I mean, how often do you take three shits a day?

Oh, and dude, the caps? Don't. Just don't. You're better than that. You are. Come here. Give me a hug.

My word I've missed so much.

You've moved to Australia?
You're engaged?
You're reading The Day After Tomorrow? (worst last line I've ever read; but don't read it now as it'll ruin the whole book).

Hope you are well. :o)

Yikes, old post! It seems you've missed a lot, indeed.

I moved to Australia - in a way, yes. We're backpacking, and right now we've settled down in Brisbane for a couple of months, to save up some cash.

I'm engaged - Yup. July 20th, Cape Tribulation. You're invited.

I'm reading TDAT - Well, no. That list is out of date. TDAT was three or four books ago. And yes, the last line was iffy. And predicable. Decent book, though.

See you around, mate.
