TAGGED LOVE

Our good old LadyD tags me here, and she wants me to tell what love is. Hell I don't think even Shakespeare was able to do that perfectly, but let me try anyway.

For me, love is being insanely happy for no particular reason other than because you're in love.

Does that make any sense?

Oh well, never mind.

And I leave it an open tag, because I'm a bit late now and most of the people are tagged anyway. So if you're not, please feel free to go ahead.

Cheers fellas!

So, this is Christmas!

So I've been tagged by LadyDivine. In fact this is the first time somebody tagged me, so a big thanks LD!


What have I done this year...

Moved to Japan.

Taught myself to cook, and lived to tell the tale after eating them.

Endured the pain of the death of my love.

Seen a 'just friend' turn into one of the best, which I'm ever so glad for.

Failed to understand some others, and kept getting hurt.

Bungee Jumped.

Eaten a Snail, and actually liked it.

Been to the highest point of Japan, a staggering 3776 meters from sea level - the top of Mt. Fuji.

Felt so lonely. Really really lonely.

Started blogging. And felt so comfortable doing it. Not to mention the joy of it.

Made some friends online, most of whom I haven't even seen.

Seen my favorite author die.

Seen my cat die, at the age of 18. Loved her so much.

Changed. A lot. In a way I thought I never would.

Bought an iTouch, only last night. :)


Hmm... so not bad. When I went through it a second time, it seemd a great mixture of real extremes. And I'm still alive after all that. Also seems it's an year of death.

Wish the next one will be better...


And here I tag Sabby, Serendib_Isle, Pradeep and Sach.
