I wanted a MacBook he sent me a pen

So more than a month later it seems that splash of inspiring energy didn't last very long, it showed it's face for a short moment as if to say "I'm here aiiight , but don't go thinking Im gonna come around whenever it suits you lady...miss- I-need-inspiration-right-now.. " (said in a ghetto american accent of course..you might want to re read it to get the accent right in your head..just saying..)

Anyways, I've been saying I need a macbook.. because it's just not the same writing on someones else's computer, it doesn't feel the same. Opening your own macbook, with your favourite photo as a desktop background, with all your folders neatly arranged ...you look at it all and it feels like an extension of you. This is where you store your "you files". I know, it's terrible referring to a piece of technology as an extension of you, and it is a bit of an exaggeration, but if you look at what kind of relationship people have with their iPhones, you get my drift.
My birthday was a few weeks ago and a delayed birthday present arrived from mum.. no offence to mum, her gift was wonderful, but it was the gift from her man that made me think ..he sent me a pen. A good old pen in a box. The kind that gives you hand cramps. The shining new kind, blue and silver, very serious looking. You mean business with that pen. Here I am complaining to myself that I haven't got a laptop and he sends me a pen. That shut me up.

So here I am with my John Farnham mug filled with peppermint tea, looking at an empty notebook with a beautiful pen next to it...all whilst typing on my boyfriends MacBook...

  1. What a pleasure to read the thoughts flowing from your "pen". I had thought you had given up on your blog, I have not looked at it for more than a year.
    You are in,what appears to be, the perfect setting for relaxing- sitting on the quiet beach watching the first glistening rays of sunlight, or sitting in the stillness of the forest by your home, hearing the very Australian call of the magpie.
    I'll say it again Camilla, you have a special talent with the written word. Cherish it and make use of it................Dad
