PROJECT 365 PHOTOS TAKEN -

Day 90 - Let Your Light Shine...

I like walking, even in the dark. The city (not really... town) lights around me are strangely pretty, and the world is an orange hue from the lamps as I walk around. I find walking helps clear the mind of all the clutter, all the noise that's raving inside your head, and you feel relaxed and refreshed. At least it's like that for me, anyway.

Tonight, to celebrate being off for Easter, I went out to a BBQ at a local church where some Americans (not the angry / happy CCU mob... some different ones from Kentucky) were leading. It was a pretty good night! I enjoyed myself! =)

Day 89 - Hello Collin!

I told my American buddy Collin I would give him "a wee shout out" on my blog, so howdy Collin!! (He was part of the awesome mob of CCU students that were here a few weeks back).
This is a picture taken via Skype of Mich. Story is -

Me: so what should be my picture of the day?

Her: ME!!!!!
Me: problem - you're at your house
Her: so, me anyway

So I took a snapshot of her via Skype "doing something crazy". So maybe it's not one of the most artistic pictures in the world, or on my blog, but it makes me laugh! And you know what? Laughter>creativity.

Day 88 - Rainshine.

It's rainy season, and everyone's complaining. Why? Why do you complain? There's something I love about the rain... one of my best memories of summer is sitting, completely still on a rubber dingy in Lough Erne. It was lashing, and I was getting drenched, but I sat there on the edge of the dingy, watching the rain drops bounce off the lake. It was one of those moments when I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature.

I'm thankful for the rain... it helps me appreciate the sun.

Day 87 - Vroooooom.

Firstly I'd like to apologize for all the backlogging. This has been due to being away over the weekend, and before that, broken internet.

Today I arrived home from the SU weekend... I thoroughly enjoyed myself! This is a group photo of our lovely selves... all these guys are awesome! Fantastic people to spend a weekend with! I hope everyone else had a good weekend too!

This has most definately been a good week for the Spade List, as today I completed another one! We're doing well here =D

#21. Drive a car.

I drove around my driveway today! It was rather exciting! I only stalled once, and I blame that on the fact that I only got three hours sleep last night (Note to self - 4a.m. is not an ideal time to head to bed). It was fun and scary at the same time, I'm pretty sure I had a mixed expression of delight, confusion and panic permanently splattered across my face. It didn't help that my dad, who was in the passenger seat, was laughing his cotton socks off at me the whole time! Well he won't be laughing when I'm soon zoooooming down the countryside in his car... mwah ha ha!

Day 86 - Snow Tubing Without The Snow.

This is the awesomeness that is snow-tubing! Imagine that rubber ring slide at your local swimming pool, but on white grassy / carpety stuff outside. It's a lot of fun! This is what we did today... I went down for a few slides, but then found myself a good place to stand and got some action shots of my friends! Some of the facial expressions were pretty hilarious! After a while, we started having group slides, making star shapes,
cross shapes, flying Vs and just plain massive multi-slides! It was a lot of fun! We spent the rest of the day getting kicked out of shopping centres, building forts and shouting "my chair!" Of course there were the serious asepects too... the speaker for the weekend is very good; I've been left feeling both challenged and inspired. =)God bless.

Day 85 - MY CHAAIIIRRRR!!!

Today I went straight from school to Moyallen for the school SU weekend woop woop! Tonight there was a talk, which was very good, and some epic games of Mafia and MY CHAAIIIRRRR!!
