Well, now my A-levels are officially over.

Not that I (or any of the Lit students, for that matter) were all that much bothered with the last paper, though. Lol. :P

Hmm.... was just thinking about last night...

Ever seen a clear night sky before?

It's really beautiful. Like last night's sky.

I'm not sure which way my house faces, but there was a wind last night- pretty cold wind too- and it was blowing from the back of my house, pushing the clouds with it and all the clouds were just piling up in the sky in front of my house.

You know how clouds sometimes look pinkish at night?

Yeah, so there was this huge mass of... pale-pink cotton wool hanging in the deep blue sky and around the back of my house, where the sky had been completely cleared of all the clouds... man.

When the sky's clear, you can see all the stars that're up there, and I don't know about most people, but for me it's just fascinating.

It's only the second time in my life that I've seen a night sky so clear; so clear that you can see every single star up there, and there're so many of them that even those that aren't shining all that brightly enough to be clearly seen, you can see them; these really tiny pinpricks of light that don't really twinkle since they can't be seen all that well. They just seem to shimmer, really. Like they're stuck in the fabric that's the sky and the fabric happens to have glitter on it. Really fine glitter.

It's times like these I wish I had a camera at hand.

But then again, maybe it'd be too dark and the picture wouldn't be able to develop. Sigh.

I managed to see Orion for the first time in a long time. I haven't gone outside to look at Orion in ages. Not since late last year, I think.

I've never seen the stars in Orion shine so brightly, or clearly, for that matter. The three stars in the "belt" were just twinkling away for all their worth and I'd have stayed out there the whole night if my neck wasn't getting tired from staring straight upwards like that.

The sky this morning was beautiful too. Must've been some leftover from last night. :) To summarise, from out my window it looked like the sky was just one large... tank of light-blue-dyed water hanging up there and someone had put light pink cotton wool in it. And the cotton wool was just drifting all over the place. :)

Sometimes I wish I had some kind of artistic talent.

I wish that whatever I can see I could paint or draw; sometimes the things that I imagine, I wish I could give them form on paper; in a form with colour, not with words.

I can do it with words, I can write, but it's never enough.

I want to draw it, paint it, or do something...

I want to be able to see it, you know?

I want to be able to look at it and see something that I could only see in my head looking back at me, and I want other people to see what I saw and maybe they didn't.

I want to bring it to life, and words just aren't enough.

But they're all I have, so... I guess I'll stick with my writing.
