The wave is rising towards Christmas day...Its the season to be Jolly, fa la la la la la...etc (My dad says I sing like a crow, so I should really stop)
I have realized that my previous blog was written many moons ago and thought I should up date my squirt. I have moved to Durbanville, a suburb of Cape Town. Yes I know, i do ask myself each morning "Who the freak swop's Stellenbosch's breath taking Mountains, exquisite vineyards and general panache for down town suburbia?" Well i guess this person is named Circumstances. He has forced me (check out the burnt tire marks on the N1) to move into a flat next to my brothers house. this results in no rent, free electricity, rent-a-dog and as-much-water-as-the-bath-will-contain-baths. I must admit my reluctance to move has been transformed into a "I am home" feeling, which is good. My flat is being transformed into Moroccan living, but one step at a time. Sometimes my creative ideas run away with me and I don't always know where I will screech to a halt.Friends you'll just have to wait until my house warming end of Jan, when everybody is back from uni.
Form fuzzy homey feelings to matters of the heart: Simon is back in the UK. Everybody has chanted the familiar "long distance doesn't work", but I think it is also good, because it forces us to focus on communication. God is really working with me on Patience and Long -suffering. I am reminded of this part in Evan Almighty, where God asks Joan; "If you pray for courage,does God give you courage or does God give you an opportunity to have courage?"Well this is my opportunity for patience :)
I think I might be a bit anxious about my studies lying ahead at the new Academy (had a freaky dream about my first day) but I know I made the right decision leaving uni and I am looking forward to the last two years of finishing my degree.
Love you all my friends!
God Bless

blood&bones
newsUPdate
Liné has fallen down a flight of steps and was found alive, but not kicking. Two ligaments in her foot were severely damaged and were unavailable for an interview at the time of this report. However Liné is still hopping through life, on crutches. She will remain in a foot brace until the 2nd of Nov.
Up north erratic movements have been found in her heart. On the 31 Aug 2007 her parents officially changed “I do” into “I don’t! You %$^&*!” They are now officially divorced. They walked down the aisle and then proceeded to walk down the court steps.
The following day a man called Simon arrested Liné. Symptoms that followed were flattering eyelids, reddening of the cheeks and slight cardio attacks. It has been reported that they are still sitting somewhere in a tree k-i-s-s-something-something-t. She has been a willing hostage for almost two months now.

• Monty Python – The Holy Grail – Next time my brother aggravates me I’m throwing him with a cow and farting in his general direction!
• Ratatouille – I have employed my own personal cooking rat chef. He is residing on my spice rack in my kitchen. (You can get one at Toys R us – they are travel size for your convenience)
• SexGod – Rob Bell - leather, whips and lipstick the Christian way
• Boy meet Girl – Joshua Harris – Phone me if this works for you. No don’t worry you wont need my number.
• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night-time – Mark Haddon – It is like a primary number – scares, unique and almost irresolvable
• Why you act the way you do – Tim la Haye – So I am an outgoing, talkative, compassionate, unstable enthusiast and you?

Being a Working Girl
Hi friends and famdamily ; ) This month has been So much fun.
WORK
Ive been really blessed with a constant flow of exciting jobs: interior decorating of a coffee shop, boardroom and a kids play room (all different clients) I LUV working! The people are fun I never get to sit still. Always moving, driving, shopping, planning etc.
STUDIES
I've started a Photography Short Course at the Academy where Im going to finish my degree. I must admit I felt a little bit uneasy after all my fellow classmates came back and started at Uni again after winter break and I m was NOT. However once I got summoned to do the course I knew I made the right descision. The course is extreamly well planed, insightful and of a very high standard. So ja Im back to taking notes, filing projects and recieving marks. This is only on Fridays though.
ART
I have two artworks on exhibition in stellenbosch at the moment. Its in Dorp str at the US Art Gallery. Further I running a small exhibition in a restaurant foyer in the west coast.
TRAVEL
I going to Dubai in Dec! So rad, my mother is doing house swapping with a couple. Yes like in the movie The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Jude Law and Jack Black. Gonna b SO COOL!
WHAT IVE READ
Velvet Elvis - Rob Bell
A terrible beauty, ideas that formed our modern century (still busy, its a 1000 pager)
and this other random book called Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth a.k.a the BIBLE

What is Line' doing?
My DTS friends where delighted to find me on facebook, since I haven't been very active in the cyber world these last two years. Sorry, internet was rationed at University. (Naturally I used it for research.)
SHOCKING NEWS
- I've left my university. Jip, SO not me hey? However I did not abandon my course. I m just joining another academy to study the same degree, but with a more practical approach.
- IM 21! So cool, had the nicest 21st
- Im back at Media Village. Can you believe it? Really missing my DTS ans SVp comrads
SO, WHAT AM I DOING NOW
Basically I work hard and play hard
Doing freelance graphics for various people, helping at Media Village with Editing and Scripts. Working for my Dad's development company, interior decorating (my sisters house looks great & a guest house coming up) Peole generally have the idea that Im bored after taking a break of my studies. I get asked aal kinds of favours cause I LUV being creative, so it does'nt always feel like Im working, however I have over done it (sice my creativity peaks at night). The day before I rocked up at MV, I cracked and cried of exhaustion - nothing sleep can't cure (I ned to say NO with a smile on my face to some favours : )
COOL STUFF THAT HAPPENED
- My Dad and I visited Isreal for June holiday 2006 - Best time EVA!
- I've been doing really well at university and made the Dean's list
- I went to visit Egypt with my Ancient Cultures class for research Dec 2006
- I have the coolset flatemate in the world - Heike a German girl, also a Graphic Designer
- I've been focussing on making my art more market friendly...and have sold a few stuff by now. Im so excited
- Ive made the coolset friends at Univ - like sisters and brothers.
TRAILS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
- my parent's divorse is still 'pending' or 'downloading'. Yes, this is the second year ince they decided to 'end' it. This prosess has been tedious, stressful and unessasary.
- My mother now lives alone in the family house, since everyone has moved out. I shipped out when Lelani came to stay in my room, my dad moved out, then Lelani moved to Pretoria (she got a better job offer than being my mom's PA) and now my bro Dewan has moved out also. I guess who had to be his partner in crime...?Me, I'm basically the moving buddy everyone phones when they need a hand. Eish!..(my poor back)
- The theory for my arthistory was very dark and desturbing. The course was truly a challenge for my heart. Needless to say "anxiety of the heart causes depression" -Prov something: something
I was really strugling with depression and family stuff wasn't quite helping.
- I've decided to leave my church. This was a big step in my faith and really just trusting God. (still a christain and loving God)
WHAT HAVE I BEEN READING thats brilliant
- The road less traveled - Scott. M. Peck - pschology
- People of the lie - Scott. M. Peck - pshcology (Helped me deal with my past)
- Living with Jesus today - Carlos Otiz - made me reconsider thing we know as "church"
