so. im back. and now being the time of the year it is, the christmas thing pops up again. i wish they wouldnt take it personally. im not even necessarily rejecting their god. and somehow even that can be construed as a rejection of their efforts, values, and perhaps maybe even as a rejection of them. which is like. zzzz. i mean, yeah well i suppose i can sort of get at where theyre coming from. and i try to sound as unantagonistic as possible when i say im not going to church on christmas day. but saying things like: okay, then you dont go for the christmas lunch. doesnt really help any. i am so dying to see my relatives. i havent seen them in aeons! *sobs* righto. okay that wasnt very nice.. but being told that youre in a moral pit does that to you sometimes. i dont feel particularly charitable when people tell me that. maybe its a self-fulfilling prophecy. will check back on that.
anyways. australia. its really hard not to like the place. the first time in a long time i dont think something along the lines of: omg. yes. thank goodness im back. oh the comforting familiarity. it really is a nice place.
so, conservation. yeah. i really learnt alot about this over there. you know how they wanna make singapore like a environmental hub thingy? yeah well thats awesome and all. we have the technology and the brains and stuff. but the whole environmental culture/mindset is a lot more pervasive over there. its part of their lifestyle. oh yes. and camping out in the open, tramping over the windy beach in the middle of the night, was totally worth it. if you ever are in southern queensland, you must must visit mon repos. (and book ahead) it was a totally awesome experience. we got to see a turtle make its way up the beach, dig a hole, and lay some hundred odd eggs. that was one of the highlights of the trip. the night we were there it was partially storming. you can feel the sand in the air stinging your legs/ankles and stuff. can you imagine the poor turtle? her poor eyes must be like dying. but it was great. yeah so well. got reminded of the importance of the danger of being apathetic.
