Linklove: but linking the gingers

This is what happens when you get distracted by Grahamstown/work/roadtrips/term time and the general loveliness of the people around you. You forget about your blog. I was only reminded of it in a journ lecture the other day where the topic was well, blogging. So I decided to sit down this Thursday afternoon and type something intelligent, or what may seem intelligent. But just for you Jude, I will add some link love. And also let my "personality, relevent aspects of my experience and learning and informed opinions illuminate on my small screen".

Much has happened since the July holidays, Mom and Greg came for a visit and it was possibly one of the best weekends of term. The annual frivolty of Trivar and Boatraces has passed, Nicky turned 21, Georgia passed more wholesome and hilarious comments and our group of friends found a happy grounding and bond. I also took a Rhode trip down to Cape Town with my friendlings. I hadn't experienced the city since I was 9, and then I wasn't grown up enough to appreciate the beauty of it.

But the loveliest news of late, and probably the most head turning news for the campus populous is that; I am dating a ginger. Yes. Yes I am. And when we walk together or when you glance at a photo of us, it is almost too much red to see at once. Not really though.

Matty has one of the biggest hearts I know. He is a natural at care-giving, and the best listener I know. Although he is almost the exact opposite to me - we seem to gain a lot from each other and I am loving him a little more each day. 

And beacuse we are both gingers, we seem to understand each other - in our ginger-powered ways (its true).

I found a GINGERS HAVE SOULS blog. And they do. If you have witnessed this video you will know how entertaining it is, and how much fun can come out of speaking about our type. I know people here love teasing but I also know that there is love there.

Non-gingers love gingers (secretly) - and evidently - we love each other too :)


Much more blogging to do, and much more thigns to say. Stay tuned!
