You girls (and guy! Yay, first dude!) R.O.C.K!<BR/><BR/>Cecilia: You are SO adorable :) Honestly, I just love you and your blog brightens my day B.I.G. T.I.M.E! I didn't know you're from AUS?!?! I <3 Australia more than life, itself, and spent a month in Sydney, Cairns, and Palm Cove (traveling for about three weeks). It was incredible. We lived in the Quay West Apartments in Sydney and our view was enough to make me want to stay forever! I should come and visit you ;) hahaha<BR/>Anyways, thank you, again, for supporting my rift/rant. Your words were so sweet and I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds herself lagging behind on her philanthropic deeds :)<BR/><BR/>Sweetsandsweats: I totally could? I love to dress up and clown around :)<BR/><BR/>Mark Salinas! : Wow! Thank you! I'm a big fan of yours, so this is AWESOME! I can't believe you found my blog!! How'd you do that? Haha<BR/><BR/>Jenn: You're the dearest of the dear. You're such a positive force and I am so thankful to have you as a friend, girl! I hope we can meet one day soon :) Your support is so special to me.<BR/><BR/>Natalie: I couldn't agree with you more! It's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one who feels this way! Thanks for making me feel so much better :)<BR/><BR/>Atxvgn: Thank you for your words. They are honest and oh so very true. Though it's eery to admit it, I think such situations (volcanos, earthquakes, etc.) help us to realize that there is more to our lives than our own little "issues," pet-peeves, vain worries, etc.<BR/><BR/>Emma: My my, are you too much for words. Sweeter than sweet, you are, Miss Emma! (And your Chobani's and Pineapple made me giggle... so cute). And you made me laugh so hard with the "African Tse Tse Flies and Staplers" remark. Thank you for lightening up this post for me. Your comment made me feel so good :)<BR/><BR/>Vegan on Stage: I posted it, though, not as to say "BE MORE AWARE" but more as a personal aside that I needed to write out. I also felt like I should put it out in writing ---er, typing!, that I would really like to work on this, as a personal goal, and maybe that would give it more power. <BR/><BR/>Lauren: Watermelons are my weakness, that's for damn sure. Plus, I couldn't help but write that post! It was something that basically wrote itself :) And thank you for your supportive words. And for allowing me to see the brighter side to my "ignorance" --- It is true that the first step is recognizing this, and I suppose that few people ARE actually able to recognize this in themselves. So thanks girl! :)Simple and Divinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487856592376406047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-490573436534736547.post-65025323126472948152008-07-16T08:00:00.000-07:002008-07-16T08:00:00.000-07:00That was a really interesting post on the volcano ...That was a really interesting post on the volcano eruptions and such..and at least you realize that it's something that needs to be done, most people just choose to ignore it! global warming is really something that needs to be addressed to everyone, whether they're listening or not..so right on! :)<BR/><BR/>and can i just say that i scrolled down and looked at your previous post..and it was probably the cutest post ever haha. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673302506870330367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-490573436534736547.post-10790483395507452732008-07-15T13:32:00.000-07:002008-07-15T13:32:00.000-07:00im glad you posted this... it makes us aware of ho...im glad you posted this... it makes us aware of how global warming effects the world.. sometimes its easy to forget about volcanoes and such..<BR/><BR/>ts a serious problem.. it really isHungry Hungry Dancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409114571155022218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-490573436534736547.post-61691420453395520812008-07-15T11:51:00.000-07:002008-07-15T11:51:00.000-07:00I loved this post Julz!

I'm really glad you posted this and shared your feelings! It's what a blog should be! Plus, who can argue that globlal warming isn't an issue we all need to always be thinking about more actively? I'm also fascinated by volcanoes, so this was especially interesting. My Mom did a volcano walk/tour in Hawaii last year and her stories sound so neat! Someday I hope to get to visit myself and see! Thanks girl for being true to yourself...you KNOW (don't lie, you do!) that we will always love our Julz! You could post about African tse tse flies or staplers and we wouldn't care!

I ...Thanks for being so honest!I feel the same way. I always claim a true love for the environment, but honestly I've never really done anything to help the cause.

So NO worries!! :0) BUT I don't mind if you bake me some cookies though ;0)<BR/><BR/>About global warming, I am the same with you - I find it easier to just shy myself away from the issue, trying to avoid the topic whenever possible ... shutting myself in a box, sigh, my ignorance ... It's sad I know, but sometimes I just feel that it's easier this way, I feel POWERLESS as an individual to try and change everything around me ... like everything/anything that I've done is never ever enough :0( <BR/><BR/>Moreover, when I talked to my friends about the issue, most of them just tell me (or something along the line) "Well, sometimes things like this ARE meant to happen - the damage is already done, it's gonna happen no matter what you do ... just ignore it" and those comments just make me feel worse than before :0( I mean isn't it true that we CAN indeed slow down the process of global warming if you all do our bit in reducing our carbon emission?!!!! It's sad how much the society (including me) relies so much on modern technologies/equipments nowadays - I didn't realize that until the powers are out one day and I find myself just sitting there - feeling trap, like nothing can be done and etc...<BR/><BR/>Phew ... sorry for the LONG rant ... I don't know if you get what I 'm trying to say! But feel better girl, don't be too hard on yourself on this issue - just do what you can :0) Have a great Sunday - it's Monday here in Aus :0)Little Miss Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934927342387915274noreply@blogger.com
