When I think of Scissors, I think of you.

We just got in to Byron Bay after flying into the Gold Coast and traversing over to Surfer's Paradise.

I almost drowned yesterday when I attempted to battle waves whilst exhausted. It wasn't a real drown scene... just scared me a bit as I began to realize I was getting extremely tired, and the waves were pulling me further and further back and further and further under. Luckily, I had a burst of energy in me which allowed me to make a mad swim for the shore.

There was a kid who actually did drown on that beach yesterday, though.

The east coast of Australia is just fucking gorgeous. Though the tone of the beach seems to be different from, say, Koh Phi Phi. I love Koh Phi Phi. It's loads of fun here, though. Hopefully we will be learning to surf in the next few days. There is so much we are looking to do here. we've been on this trip 6 weeks now. 5 more to go. Our Europe trip would be about over by now. I'm just amazed that the time has flown by this fast. I dread the re-assimilation into the world.

We packed 4 people into a double room in the courtyard Marriott these past few nights. It was actually really cheap, and also much better than a lot of Hostel places.

We have plans to move on up to Rainbow Beach and go on a sailing / road trip around Fraser Islands for about a week. The boat we'll be taking out looks phenomenal (a mix between hands on, and luxury--fucker has a spa on the back). I'll probably be away from all lines of communication.

I really don't know what else at this point. March approaches, and it's maddening.

I heard "The Departed" won best picture. Well deserved.
