The 'Find Your Name In Print' entry!

Since I've been here, I've been a busy little fellow. It's no surprise then that sometimes I encounter things which make someone back home spring to mind.
Do you have any idea how many times a day I remember all of the gang back in Aus? No? Well here's a little list of things, and who they remind me of..

Everytime:
  • Gordy fills the sink with water to wash the dishes, Jane.
  • I hear some new music I really like, or any of the bands that scroll along my blog's header, Al.
  • I think about getting my license or see a VW Polo, Warwick.
  • I hear Franz Ferdinand at work, (It's played at least 5 times a day..) Mike.
  • Someone mentions Saturday night live, or a stand-up comedy, (at the moment 'Chuck Norris' is all the rage at work..) Sevy.
  • I think about getting a new SIM card and using my mobile again, Tim C.
  • I really get an urge to play World of Warcraft, Stu.
  • I see a camera crew in Robson Street (at least every second day..) Pao.
  • I'm flicking channels and I see the UPN logo, or see an ad for Veronica Mars, Luke.
  • I have to go to an ATM, or pay for something.. anything.. Phil.
  • I start cooking, wash my clothes, or see the phone, mum.
  • I think of mum, Nick.
  • I go for a walk, or start thinking about something too much, or I see a crazy ad on TV, Dave.
  • I go to a party or go clubbing, (or someone mentions a drinking game..), Amy, Tash, Laura and Simone..
  • I see that video clip at work of the octopus.. (it's a crappy song but the clip is awesome) Zach.
  • The computer I'm using screws up, or I hear someone at work say: 'Whatever!', Mimi. (And I often think of your friends when I'm sorting belts and accessories on the stands at work..)
  • Someone talks about a flash animation (namely 'rejected') or the Matrix.. the i.D.E.A gang. Ben, Mike, Shaun, Josh, Dusty..
  • I see the 'Wonder Woman' collectors edition at HMV (which I frequent at least once a week), or when I sit down to jot some ideas, or talk about films, Andy.
  • I see kids playing hockey in my street, Bean.
  • I see someone on a date, Tim McK.
Most, if not all of these things happen every day, so now you see that when I say 'I MISS YOU ALL!!' I mean it!
(And of course, you aren't restricted to one thought each. I just wrote the ones that happen most frequently to save space.. :p )
I hope summer is finishing up well for everyone, and I hope I cross your minds every now and then too!
Peace,

JW

I don't know who feels more special. All the people who know you miss them, or you with all the people who miss you. I think it's somewhere in the 10's of millions now ;o)

Missing you ya red nut... to me, you will always be a red nut ;P

Tim McK: AH HA!!
I knew you'd post if I put something like that up. Now stop lurking and start writing!! :D
Haha. No pressure.

Alex: Yeah, she does sound a little like Lissy, but I've been assured(via the magic of telecommunication) that mum was the writer. Oh and I updated the "I'm currently listening to" banner, Acceptance is on there!
