homesick

it's a sunday, my day off. i'm home pretty much all day, and i have a lot of time to relax and think. i feel quite homesick.

these are the things i'm missing most about home:

• my mum
• my friends - especially andrea, bren, misstey, noz, kate, rhi and "shaxie" or "maun" (shaun+maxie)
• my room
• subiaco
• the happening areas of beaufort street mt lawley
• going out on the town at night (although it was a very irregular occurence during my last months in perth
• maurenos
• shopping in fremantle
• second-hand book stores
• the galleria (oh god, did i just say that?)
• good western food
• the beach
• the fresh air
• the nice, clean, green grass to sit on

as you can see in the above list, western food is also something i'm missing dearly. i'd pay a lot of chinese cash to have any of the following foods delivered to my apartment door right now:

• maccas
• a mediterranean veg pizza from the flying scotsman or that greasy "pizza-by-the-slice" place that's open late in northbridge
• eggs benedict with a crunchy triangular hashbrown from rifos in mt lawley
• good quality sushi
• a moon burger and fries from the moon cafe or burger and fries from alfred's kitchen in guildford
• cookie dough icecream
• a nice big antipasto plate from queens
• a bacon, cream cheese, lettuce and avo bagel from a cafe in the galz
• a proper cafe coffee
• a tender lamb kebab from mykonos in mt lawley
• a quesadilla from that little mexican place in north perth
• a big indian meal with curries, roti, naan - the whole shebang
• my mum's filipino food. especially the pork dishes.

deary me, there's one list saturated in fat.
