February

The month of February is upon us, time for hot chocolate with whipped cream I think.

The exam season somewhat took over my life the past month, and now that I am free for another few months I feel pleasantly relaxed and ready for the world. My brain is completely fried though, will need multiple bowls of ice cream and several horror films to snap back into my usual thought process.

I finally have the time to draw again! Filling up three sketchbooks is one of my aims for this year, as is finally finishing a journal I've had for too long and filling up my little thought book. I adore flipping through a notebook and having all the pages filled with writing, I'm not quite sure why.

I was invited to one of my good friends' birthday do over the weekend, and it was one of the loveliest days I've had in quite a while. There's something so heart warming about being surrounded by people laughing and enjoying themselves, it makes you feel so content and alive. I think no matter how much we wish to deny it, we need some form of human interaction. When you're left alone for too long, your thoughts become reality and you almost forget the influence other human beings can have on your general state of being. This fact has me terrified that I'll never be able to live truly alone, as I often confuse appreciation of my own company with loneliness.

Enough of the reflections on the meaning of life for now. Let's talk about food. I have recently started to freeze grapes, and I can honestly say it's better than anything ever (no that was so not a hyperbole in any way). I have also started to cut up bananas and freeze them, as they make a wonderful ice cream when blended with a dash of soy milk. Oh how healthy daaahling!

I must retire to my bed chamber (or more accurately my bed as sleep is beckoning me) and think about my lunch I have planned for myself tomorrow. I bought an avocado especially. I also bought a kilogram pot of passionfruit yogurt but that may be my insanity talking. I felt like I was brandishing a battle sword as I plonked it down upon the counter. I am not ashamed of my yogurt obsession. Yogurt holds a place next to avocados in my chilly heart.

These are a couple of snaps from the birthday date. The first is a shot of the birthday girl, and the second is of yours truly. The second picture makes me smile, I think any picture where the subject is laughing just radiates happiness.
