let me explain. i've loved neil gaiman's writing for a little while now and last month had the pleasure of seeing him and tom stoppard at the athenaeum (yah), but i've told you this.
anyway, neil led me to his wife, amanda palmer (who surprised all of us in the foyer of the athenaeum with a twinkle in her eyes and fingers on her ukulele). now this woman has been haunting me for the past couple of years. she seems to have a love affair with australia (don't blame her, awesome country i have here) and i had been seeing posters for her gigs all over the place and i never took the hint.
the universe must've taken a back hand at me to wake up... yes, it took me long enough. i am now enamoured with amanda palmer. she is witty and funny and compassionate and bloody insanely talented and i love the way she thinks. looking on, she just seems to live her life fully, completely whole-heartedly. how exciting to live a life like that. maybe that's what 2012 is all about, taking a leaf from her book?? maybe.
