when time and confusion collide

the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Lyrics by: The Fray

Pain. Excruciating pain. Always me. Down on luck. What - another week of not being able to run? When one injury heals, another comes on. Does that mean that I'm destined to live a life of pain? Left to right, left to right, bouncing like a ping pong ball. Someone, something, please please take away all the pain. I just want to be normal, I don't want to be pitied and fussed on by people..

Thank you to the team for attending to me. To Audrey - I love you babe, you were my pillar of strength throughout the whole run. I know I'm supposed to be the one encouraging you but in the end it turned out to be the other way round. Thank you for not giving up on me, and for continually staying by my side while I limped along for more than 3/4 of the run. Thank you for giving me the strength to complete it despite the stabbing pain, and for giving up your own run to wait for me.

To Wong, Weejin and Junxu for running with us for the last 3km or so. To Rachel, Michelle, Peishan and Chewy for making me feel so much better. To the people at the finishing line - Andrew, Mo, Yingqin etc for rushing around for me. To Joy for the massage. Just.. to everyone. I owe the team so so much, and I'll stay strong for you guys, I promise.
