What if that girl was the same age as me? Or not the same age as me? What if we lived in the same country?
What if I’d gone to university straight after school?
What if I’d decided music was my calling?

Comment Moderation is currently on to avoid spam. As I am not around to moderate for the next couple of weeks, comments will not show up until I get back. But hey, don’t let that stop you.
Road Trippin’
I’m going to be largely out of contact for the next two weeks. Next week I’m road-tripping around the South Island with Raj (one of my Auckland buddies, see Amy and Raj are Hot.) Then I get about half a day’s break before I’m off to help at camp for the next week. So don’t expect much blogging in the next couple of weeks.
If you need to get hold of me, I’ll have my mobile, and *may* be able to check my email. But no promises. Also, camp week I’ll be completely out of touch.
