carn the lions!

have had an unreal long weekend and feeling very positive. i think the key was spending time with people i really care about - you guys rock my world! friday night was spent at the bar under the new downunder hotel at queensbury and lygon, watching the rain bucketing down outside, drinking $4 crownies (what an absolute bargain!) with mike and gal, having protracted arguments about nothing =) saturday was taken up with laundry, dishes, cooking, studying with xiang, my self-adopted sister (the bestest in the world), and watching the boys maul the blues at telstra dome. that put me in a really good mood! yesterday i went cd-hunting and coffee-drinking with the lovely minnie and eric, then trained out to ivanhoe to watch "meet the fockers" with jim's birthday entourage (the usual suspects plus a number of random people) - it wasn't nearly as painful as i thought it would be. scored a ride home with aaron too, in his new old car. he was on the way to ararat (aaa-aa-aat says baz), where he's working as a dentist.

haven't felt anxious or sad the whole weekend so far! the distractions may have helped, but perhaps it was mood gym (at dr horgan's suggestion). not quite convinced about the principles of cbt yet, but it's worth a look as some of the examples they come up with are absolutely hilarious. also check out this star wars spoof below - especially if you're a fan of the saga like me!
