GOD.HATES.ME
I.HATE.ME

"My Pain, My Gain" - by Ian Thorpe


he paints....:)

The acrylic on canvas measures two metres by four metre and shows Thorpe cutting through the water with tiny human figures all over him.

"When I was a kid I used to imagine within my body there were all these mini people and the people in my goggles were the control room," Thorpe said.

"They were kind of like lemmings and they used to power everything in my body. I was always whipping them to make them work harder.

"That was my form of visualisation."

they're baaacckkk!!! - plus 1 new one...:)


in addition to the 2 that were previously posted....my other favourites are back!
and it doesnt help tht im now hooked onto ANOTHER HBO series!....

bad, bad truth...=(

why should i be sad? he is after all a dude...a 23-year old to be exact...very, very normal..
maybe NOW i can stop my obsession?!? - except tht in-the-name of all tht is crazy, im actually jealous of tht woman! -.....
grrr..i've gone absolutely mad!!!!

bad, bad dream...

after ages-upon-ages of not dreaming when i sleep at nite - or at least having NO memory of it whtsoevr! - i finally dreamt last nite! :)

u'd think i'd be stoked - but NOOOO....of all things, it had to be a nightmare! ok...i dunno if it technically constitutes as being a nightmare - maybe juz a bad dream - it was disturbing nonetheless...

i dreamt tht i was in baltimore and i saw MP marry his "long-time" girlfriend!!! aarrrghhh!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!

to the masses, i knw it'll seem trivial and ridiculous...bt to me - a semi-obsessed fan - it was a harsh thing to see....i tried rationalising it, cos im quite certain he's not seeing anyone - unless those studpd rumours abt stephanie rice are true :( - bt it was juz plain weird...so when i woke up not too long ago, i checked the news...thank God it wasnt true....it was only a BAD, BAD dream....:)

yes, i knw im borderline loony-ville! :)
