Self- Absorbsion might just give me what I want?!
Dearest Readers, (yes that included you almost-Husband)
My infamous Christmas list is just that. Infamous. Hence, I will be unable to explain the items that I require for Christmas besides the three cuties (JD, JR, and TDMB)Please revert to item one and purchase him for me. Then resort to item two and purchase him for me. Please remember to include house training and a flat that allows animals in the parcel. Number three will probably the hardest to arrange although it might be the best for South African society. So take one for the team.
Best of the seasons greetings to you.
Thank you,
Elizabeth

The most amazing post! :) (David the "Fi)
Well now that I've hacked into your account( Mr. Fi), I have to say, that your Blog Picture is so cool! :) Johnny Depp is cool, well I'm glad that I came close by having a brother that is a Johnny depp Look-a-like. ;) Little cute dogs are, well, cute... As long as it's a Jack Russell. Dave Matthews , ROCKS... , I guess there is something to be said about being born in South Africa, Johannesburg. Ok, seriously, WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS??????
My Christmas List
With a lot of nudgings from the family and the Fi, I have created The ULTIMATE Christmas List.
Read on and buy. Thank you very much!
The most Legendary Christmas List:
1. Johnny Depp. 'nuff said.
Yummy.
2. A Jack Russell puppy. Preferably super cute. And house trained.
Thanks.
3. A Personal Concert from the Dave Matthews Band. I choose to have this concert on the day of my wedding. Thank you very much.
*sigh*
Maybe my sights are a bit high. But seriously who wouldn't want Johnny Depp carrying a puppy walking onto the stage of your wedding band (aka Dave's band)?
Clearly, no one.

Zapiro is my hero
I love Zapiro.
Today he has come into hot water yet again because of a cartoon published by the Sunday Times earlier this year. Jacob Zuma is suing Jonathon Shapiro (Zapiro) and the Sunday Times for R7 million. The claim consists of R5m for alleged damage to Zuma's reputation and R2m for alleged damage to his dignity (as said by NEWS24).
The cartoon, posted below, shows lady justice being pinned down by political leaders and Zuma preparing to rape her.
Has Zapiro crossed the line?
I personally side with Shapiro. The elitism of the South African government is disgusting. The disregard for justice is more than merely concerning. This is a blatant and shocking image that accurately reflects my own shock and disgust. The fact that Zuma has recently been acquitted of rapes charges is moot. This is clearly a separate issue.
Pity, because I wouldn't mind writing another post about how much I despise Zuma and the ANC. I am ashamed of you ANC. I am ashamed of you Zuma.

First Dance Stumbles.
In case you haven't noticed, I am getting freakishly excited about the wedding. I am pathetic... Pathetically excited.
Like that puppy that wees on the floor when you get home. That is me. Without the weeing.
I am absolutely stoked for every moment of the rest of everything that is coming. Except one.
The One.
That's it.
You're right.
The first dance.
I can't dance.
Oh I can break it down. I can make the room hot and happening with my moooves but a nice little dance with the new Hubs is... put lightly, scaring the crap out of me.
The Fi can't dance either. He doesn't really want to learn either. So. There's us, in my minds eye, stepping on each others toes and looking absolutely ridiculous. ehm. Lame.
In any case.
We have a lovely song. *if you click there you can watch their youtube video of the song* It's so beautiful and the lyrics are very special to both of us:
Dance With You
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in Fijian seas
deep in some blissful dream
where the goddess finally sleeps
in the lap of her lover
subdued in all her rage
and I am aglow with the taste
of the demons driven out
and happily replaced
with the presence of real love
the only one who saves
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
the stillness in your eyes
convinces me that I
I don't know a thing
and I been around the world and I've
tasted all the wines
a half a billion times
came sickened to your shores
you show me what this life is for
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
in this altered state
full of so much pain and rage
you know we got to find a way to let it go
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in Fijian seas
deep in the heart of it all
where the goddess finally sleeps
after eons of war and lifetimes
she smilin' and free, nothin' left
but a cracking voice and a song,
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face.
---Live---
I do suppose that the beauty of the song will over ride our pitiful performance. *right* And if not there is still hope in a magical dancing fairy *right*
There goes the puppy again. *sigh*

I won!
I came back today from my extreme camping trip to see that I won Hillbilly's giveaway! Needless to say I am so very excited! Thanks again to her and her fabulous Husband for choosing me! I suppose I should begin thinking of my own giveaway! Would ya'll be keen on something South African? Or something more fabulously chic? Weigh in and I'll keep my eyes open!
The camping trip was amazing! Thanks for hanging in there with the scheduled posts. Although it looks like only a few actually posted. Ehm. Lame. I would care more but last night I was caught in a ferocious thunderstorm and yeah, nearly died. Ok not really but it kinda felt like it.
It looks like I did promise a sneak peek at the invites. I have to be honest A good little blogger would blur out all the names and yadda yadda. So if you are planning on stalking me, please don't. Thanks.
Here was our inspiration: The Fi and I saw this on theknot and LOVED it.
We made a bit less stark and more elegant using, of course, chocolate brown and red! I tried really hard to get a good picture of it but this was the best I got:
It was very exciting giving them to our friends and family. Sorry Grandma, yours will be posted soon! Just waiting to hear from Ann about her or Grandpa's postal address :)(Shameless I know! :) )
