This all looks familiar. This blank white box to write words in. Those tabs to insert pictures. That bright orange button that says "Publish". I remember it all, which is strange considering how long it has been since I've posted on here. Not to say I have forgotten about old-mate-Blog all together, there have been times when I'm on the computer and have discovered something spectacular and I automatically think "I must blog and share this!". Suddenly 30 seconds later I find myself in the middle of replying to an email, or amending a design, or anything that is not blogging. Fast forward two days later and I suddenly realise, "oh f**k, I forgot to blog, oh too late now!"... Yes I agree this attitude needs to change, I need to put old-mate-Blog first in my life, who knows how the world has been getting by since I've been gone.... *rolling around in laughter* I wish!

So we are in the middle of Mad March right now, which happens to fall in the middle of my Mad Summer. In between studying, working, and moving house, there has also been the need to attend very important events such as weddings, engagements, birthday's, oh and the Fringe. Yes, it's Fringe time here in Adelaide, so we've been busy "Fringing". In terms of my favourite time to live in Adelaide, I would have to say this is my most favourite. The Adelaide Fringe brings the city alive, you can't escape it even if you tried (take a moment for those who hate laughing, excitement, experiencing new art, frolicking with friends, street performers, bright signs and meeting amazing strangers. There is no hope for them during Fringe-time!). If I could, I would spend every night in the Garden (Garden of Unearthly Delights) during the month of it's existence. It is by far the most exciting place to be during Fringe. And I've managed to drag my friends or Simon there every few days (much to Simon's dismay when I book a 10pm show when he has to work at 6am the next morning, but hey, it's worth the sleep deprivation!). I also promise myself each year that I'll see a theatre show at least once, as it can be easy to get carried away with comedy, cabaret & live music, and forget about poor old theatre. This I did. This weekend sees the end of Fringe, but I've got so many amazing memories to look back on the 2012 Fringe season!
