vintage padded stitch detail jacket; mega find favourite!


wow, i have been so neglectful of this in the last few weeks, its very silly indeed. but today i will resurrect it by saying one thing in particular, new family 'computer' rules suck...

no computer on days that start with a 'T'
no computer after 10pm
and the fact that my brother is always home before me and will never get
off.

how annoying it is, when they are virtually the only times i can access the computer, so i guess, it isnt completely my fault.

in other news, this is the halloween weekend, and i have inevitably got a sailor moon costume! it is fabulous and i love it to say the least. i look like an anime character because of my hair colour and make-up, it's quite funny.

i miss people i have not been able to see, and i hate school. though i am now on the mend after being sick, my ear is screwed to the max, and i cannot put my new nose ring in because i fail.

i am also looking forward to tomorrow when i get to see some boys in suits, haha. and live music will be good!

have a fantastic weekend i know i am.

diy cut off stripe shirt; imagination


for those people who regularly sing along to songs, or just when you are a tad bored to make some noise, you surely must know what i am talking about. what mostly sucks right now, is not being able to sing, i do love to sing along, and i sound like a drowned cat at the moment. it is horrible! on the other hand another sick day off school has left me with some small tasks to get done and so my mind is set on that.

though they wont take me that long, it will be worth it to get them over and done with and i cant wait to be done with them. now faced with weeks, not months left of school is so exciting and agonising at the same time, because i do not know what is in store for me.

working yes, more study im not sure. i just want to get out and see everything there is to see! maybe i will head to melbourne for a while, take up an offer that has been outstanding for quite some time. im not sure, but i want to be happy. there are certain people that make me smile all the time, yes. some of which can be the best people to lean on in any time of need. and i thank them deeply and truly for all their support, ever.

have a lovely day, im in a cheery mood and i think i will too!

silk floral print dress; valley markets and scissors


sick and lethargic are the only two ways to describe how i feel right now, and after an amazing weekend its a bit of a let down. friday ended with work and then spontaneously heading to a party which, turned out to be a drag, so i convinced a friend to drive me home. the rest was spent with chats and laughs, entertaining at least.

saturday began early with an eight hour shift of work, how depressing. this got better though as my plans foiled by people being busy, but going to the outrageous valley fiesta by myself made my luck grow. i ran into numerous amounts of friends and acquaintances alike, danced til my feet almost dropped off and had alot of fun just running around.

the indiest styles were seriously out in bloom that night, as everywhere you looked, attractiveness was there! i am fairly sure we made that clear by yelling vulgar and strange comments of the bridge as people passed by, and mario was going to make a da bigga da pizza for ev'ryone! of the laughs, collecting atleast fifty free packets of condoms, to later on pass around to other people enjoying their night yelling 'safe sex is fun sex'. a few litte tantrums and leaving dwindling supplies of cigarettes, running into over 18's when their night just began was fun, even if i could not go and join them.

heading into the cit to get on our way home came easier than expected, but not without some hard laughs at nothing in particular, we were just having the time of our lives. finally getting home after a strange individual on the bus had talked to us and had inevitably swapped us some condoms, was quite funny. switching the television on and laying in the comfiest bed alive! rock to love, and sex and the city caught our attention before eagerly waking a few hours later because of a text message.

that was pretty much our cue to get ready and start our day, so a quick breakfast at home go us rolling. not to mention our second breakfast out was even better, haha. that day turned out better than planned aswell, as we found the full bottle everyone thought had been lost, and i got to finally see a very close friend of mine. the city was full of strange people for the 2009 zombie race, yet they intrigued us.

one strange man had come up to the three of us, shannon, pearl and i, and asked us a question.. were we from png, we answered no, and he had a disappointed look and said because your pretty nice girls. he was very sweet yet a little creepy, but made us smile none the less. from there we headed down to the new and improved king george square for some live music and free face painting, i felt like a little kid again.

it was one of those feelings, when you just felt as happy as anything could be, as if nothing could keep you down, and it was fantastic. the day ended wit ha lost cause to try and find the zombie race, so inevitably we had missed it, disappointing to say the least. though, the other coincidences and good fortune had made up for it more than imaginable.

today i am sick from the heat, and cold interchanges all night. it is horrible.

black patterned singlet top; valley markets


i have inevitably become slack and lazy with keep things up to date. and my blog is not the only thing...

it does annoy me that i have a habit of doing things like this, but i guess i can eventually keep trying and so i will. yesterday was an interesting day with not much excitement, but a few surprises. another crazy happpening at work left me with one of my favourite crew people. it was great! i spent a late night that night chatting and such, although i shoudln't have.. but eh

picking ideas and final arrangements for formal was another highlight. the menu being fantastic, with a seperate menu for the vegetarians which is great! i cannot wait and am even more eager than before for the 19th of november to hurry up! colour arrangements have been sorted and everything is set to go!

with buying my new phone i have now realised i use it more than ever, and that is a bad thing.. i'm expecting a fluctating bill next month now! and that is a little disappointing considering im still paying my other one, i guess i will jsut be poor a little longer. which leaves me with little savings for the schoolies week coming up after formal..

in other great news, i made a friend in the us today! it was great. hopefully we can meet one day
now im off to do assessments and other boring school things.

paisley floral mini dress; valley markets

what a morning! its my fathers birthday so i had woken up very early to make him breakfast which was all sweet, but i was so tired as i had not slept until after midnight. it was a silly mistake to make. i dont know how i am now going to pull through my day of school and working this afternoon too!

atleast for the most part of it, i have a good feeling about today.

high waisted black pants, diy necklace; valley vinnies and brain ideas

oh what a day! today has been fun, and i dont think i could ever hate an extra day off :) fantastic and full of surprises, i headed into town to see a few good friends of mine and ended up running into more than i had planned. a lovely trip with numerous lovely ladies and lads and many laughs. watching peers expertly play his way through dire strait on guitar hero, which is still stuck in my head, blew my jealousy sky high! haha.

but as for the rest of the weekend, alot of working was done for once, i never get the weekend shifts, but they were a good difference and filled some time. friday night was spent chatting and curled up in bed with a good drama on television, very relaxing. an early start to saturday morning was weird, as usually i can never get out of bed. i headed off to the markets and found some adorable dresses which i now call my own, making friends with a cute stall boy was good too! sushi for lunch is always a treat and little moments between friends and i. walking past a general shop and seeing my lovely acquaintance now works there was a little exciting, him being stealth with his duties was also fun.

that night kicked off with donuts at a bus stop and then live music sweetly in my ears. aversions crown, midnight in alaska, chasing stitches and torn asunder, all lovely. though supposed to be selling merch, my friend would rather talk to me then bother, it was a little silly. then back home to see family over for dinner and show off my formal dress yet again.

sunday was chilled and then working again. never in my life have i heard the name paul so many times ina few hours. the latest trend at work is saying our managers name in an accent, to fill words of songs or just in general at the end of every sentence or phrase. it can be annoying after a while. sunday night phone calls to friends at a barbecue together was rather entertaining, yelling in the background that i dont think i was supposed to hear was just funny! i wish i had gone, but inevitably i could not.

finding a new song i fell in love with and catching up on the vedos was also good.
that is the extent to my catch up for the week. and now i have dinner waiting to be eaten!

floral print full length tights; handmade by a friend


okay, so after three system restores and a whole lot of rearranging i think it is fairly evident that technology simply repels me. in the last two days my craving for an interweb chat or read has been very overwhelming and to admit i was going a little crazy, haha.

now though, its back and fantastic. i have picked up my dress, been told it is amazing, organised more aspects of the date and am almost ready for anything. i decided today i am no longer heading to soundwave because i am lacking in the funds that i need for other things (especially with a pricey bill that just snuck up on me).

seeing an old friend who has recently been in france is now back yesterday was fantastic. and i am going to get a little present next time i see her, hopefully soon! todays definite high point was sitting in a classroom, just a close friend and i listening to the radio lying on the ground talking about our upcoming events. not to mention drawing on the carpet with chalk! that was very fun indeed.

my weekend has started with me sitting here and thinking, or more planning, what to do for the rest of it. hopeful to see some people, and spend some extra money i now have on some much needed threads and maybe indulge in a social event. im not quite sure, but i hope it will be good.
it will be three days!

have a good weekend, and long one for those of you who are schooligans.

bleached denim high waist shorts; diy and man shoulders


the end of the day, its really good. im glad to be out of such a gusty day and surroundingly overwhelmed by the gorgeous smell of freshly cooked food! thats what you get when you have grandparents staying with you momentarily. my grandmother is the type of extravagant woman who cooks a million goodies, and mends all the little clothing woes that need fixing. i love her ever so dearly.

today was the first day of getting prepare for my school formal on november the 19th. i now have my dress in my hot little hands, and so many other things all sorted. check, check and check! i also received payment from a friend today meaning i can now indulge in the excitement of a soundwave ticket for 2010, i am very very excited. even more so that enter shikari has now been added to the line up!

well so many things on tonight, have me wishing i was that little bit richer and that i didnt have a debt in the world. tonight i will be missing out on terror's australian tour, with most regret. it is very depressing.

last night i had the most fun with a friend of mine,a s we shared some very personal preferences and such. every message received made me giggle just that little bit, and similarly, he blushed. it was fantastic! things are great, bar some minor problems.

035

black cut out swimmers; the little vintage store hidden only for me

i have began to give up on trying to come up with a heading for my blogs, i truly cannot be bothered. on the best news possible, i have a formal dress! i am so amazingly happy and im sure you will get a picture soon. i am truly in love, and the brand is anna campbell. the one shoulder black beaded maxi is just stunning.

it was yesterday shopping that i found it, and nothing so far had compared to how much i loved this dress. there was an instance in trying it on where a girl who was also shopping in the store marvelled at the dress and said 'you look gorgeous'. i felt like a movie star and my cheeks burst out bright red. i am so excited!

on a different note, i am getting to the stage of things where i am thinking about them too much, and in turn i get worried and start to doubt the situation. its very annoyingly strange to change my mind on a subject because i merely think too much about it, yet i hope it does go well. i hope.

apart from finding my perfect dress, yesterday was some quality time with my grandmother, as we enjoyed each others company around the cbd, and over a lovely lunch with each other.
it was very nice indeed.

well i am off for school, ciao.

034

electric patent black dress; 80's store

wow! today i have a good feeling in my stomach. i will be spending time with my grandmother to go and look at lots and lots of very intricate and beautiful dresses. i cannot wait!

on a different note, after having a horrible end to me weekdays last week my weekend has cheered me up again! friday night was definitely the highlight with a number of outgoing fans joining each other at the princess theatre to see some great musicians play. deez nuts, intrenches, blkout, miles away and antagonist ad were all fantastic. i even found a new love in blkout! they are fantastically diverse.

bus trips filled with laughs and a lot of persuasion to get my friend to cut majority of his hair off, paid off with the best result. it looks wonderful, and was mostly my doing! but after returning home, i got to settle in for a great weekend with family and lots of delicious food, haha.

a late night came after that, time spent chatting to wondrous and intriguing people. i could talk to for hours on end to some of them, and still be in awe and deepest attention to the things that are being said. the ending of final destination to my day was tops. but it kind of sucked that i had to get up after 2am and turn the television off, not only that, i had to clear off a bed and then remake it so i had a place to sleep.

saturday was a lazy day, with no work all weekend! i tried on alot of dresses today with my father and my grandmother there. it was a little fruitless. but thats what today will be for too!
afterwards i managed to escape the clasp of my family grip for a few hours, and got to see some lovely people in town. it was fun as always.

sunday nothing of interest happened. i did however discover a video blog on youtube which is quite intriguing, and very talented. the appropriately named VEDO is a video blog by two boys levi and matt of 'video everyday of october'. everything from random clips to the most influential instrumental clips are to be marvelled at. check it out!

homemade little black dress; hello vogue


today i am very agitated. yesterday, people who i thought were my companions decided to let the whole world know otherwise by yelling things at me across the room, most of which comments directly applied to them and not myself and most in which were not true. humiliated and upset, the rest of my day had been a blur, but i do remember working and trying to be 'cheered up'. it people like that i dont have time for or really care much for, but to the type of people who tried to cheer me up, thankyou.

it is now 9:50 am, and i am not at school, i was too tired and i would rather not be looked at by a million pairs of beating eyes as i walk by. though i have had a realisation that things are coming up so fast, and its going to be amazingly unforgettable. so here i am at home, ready to go and adventure the places i know before heading to the sike your mind tour tonight with deez nuts, antagonist, miles away, blkout and in trenches. that i am very excited for.

when i get home, my grandparents will be here and that is very comforting, i love them to bits. not seeing them in such long intervals really isn't nice at all. and then all my weekend plans begin. dress shopping for formal and hopefully finding something, bbq's and the beach on sunday. almost as good as those lovely messages you receive some morning without knowing. the ones that just make you instantly smile

for now, lets leave it at have a great weekend, and a great day. i think i will.

032

plaid blazer jacket; wynnum days

i am very pleased to say that this morning i feel great. mornings usually bring disappointment and sluggishness, but right now i am good and raring to go. a 'the glass is half full' day! last night my womanly urges kicked in and i actually slaved for three hours and cleaned my room top to toe, it has never been this clean and i dont think i have one worthless thing now.

also, the memories and trinkets i found, i never knew i had anymore bought a definitely smile of surprise to my face. many of them things i had not seen in a few years because they had been hidden in a box or elsewhere. truly remarkable.

today, is going to be a long day. from one learning class to another, and then to work for the man, i just cannot wait to serve all the scum that prowls my shopping centre of a thursday night, it will be very boring to say the least.

fast food has never been a favourite of mine, and it worries me that people can depend on it so literally and need it. with so many of these outlets readily available to us, it no wonder we are the fattest county in the world, we have earned that badge of honour with self-damage and reluctantly, not caring. its silly to think that people can blame others for their own mistakes and their or misfortunes.

anyways, buses await. bye.

PATRICK WOLF

for those of you who have not heard of this individual, he is one of the most outrageous and indifferent people i have ever heard of. reasearch him now! the english singer-songwriter from south london is remarkably talented and handsome in most respects. he plays a number of different instruments including ukulele, piano and viola. he successfully combines the sounds of these instruments with electronic sounds to create a beautiful masterpiece. it would come naturally to such a lad though, beign born into such a creative family. he left home by the age of sixteen and followed his dreams willingly with little to no money. the only funds he would live off were those he made busking ina string quartet called maison crimineaux described as a noisy trio built on destructive ethics around white noise and pop music. my favourite thing this man has ever said would have to be from the london paper when he wa asked about his sexuality: 'in the same way i dont know if my sixth album is going to be a death-metal record or a children's pop, i dont know whether i'm destined to live my life with a horse, a woman or a man.' it really does show you how different people can be, and how minds can work in weird ways...

search him now

very old hand me downs; love you mardi

finally, my computer decides to comprehend what i have been trying to do. the silly invention for over an hour now has failed to load and process, but now it loves me again. i think my raging and constant trying has helped to make the computer rethink its actions.


on a happier note, my day has been lovely and because sport has ended i went home early! it was truly great. my mind, however, has been clouded with wondering thoughts and curiosity after my personal advance last night. i have never ever in my life had the courage to admit to someone how i feel about them, unless they have made a move first, and for the first time i bit the bullet, swallowed my fears and became terrified. but i did it. i think it turned out well, im not exactly sure, but im no longer carrying such a burdening secret. people that were chatting to me gave me the motivation to do something i would never have done before, and i thank them for that. otherwise, i would have never said a thing. though i am a fool.

besides that, tales of betrayal have filled my day, and support has been the only other thing on my mind for my dear friend. with such a cruisy few weeks left, excitement is riding high in the air between us all, and fear at the same time. i am fearful that after such a long time of routine things will become blurred when i dont have it to fall back on any more. but hopefully i will pull through then, and for now. i will just follow that path that has been laid before me.

029

longs tank tee and crochet scarf; both great melbourne finds

today will be my first day back in term four as i am a cowardly person, and i fear to say alot of what i feel. that being my worst personal trait. though yesterday was not all a waste, i got a lot of stuff done in the few hours i was home being bored, and i talked to some lovely people also. it really does surprise me how many people can actually be in the same situation or a similar one to me. as for last night, the same people i always tend to chat to engaged me in conversation again, and it was terrific. everything from i will be a good mother to guessing a birthday date and so forth. i really do enjoy these conversations.

what i really had time to think about last night though, was that people tend to have nothing kind to say to me and this made me very distressed. people are just rude in general, and then there are the few who will give you a nice comment or take the time to care, and they are the ones the world needs more of.

in conclusion, just kidding, i have school today and am not really looking forward to it that much. have a better day than me, you probably will anyways.

028

SOMETHING THAT HAS EXCITED ME

is knowing that i have little to no school days left in my calendar, and im heading into last term.
its very very exciting and im getting more anxious by the day as two big events draw closer.
hopefully i go well in everything

THE ART OF TRICKERY

fine shimmer shirt/dress; paddington, bear!

it is happily that i say, i have had my fun and its time to slow down. this weekend passed has left me lethargic, yet with many a memory. the fun of it all began on thursday night when a gruelling walk led a friend and i to our destination of the funniest night of my life, we even got some nudies going around! though it was a bit upfront...

a very late night, and early start of rushing, because our lift was already here meant there was no time to be wasted. next thing i know, i was sitting at a bus stop getting ready there. turning up to work too early left others bedazzled as to why i was there. straight after a quick trip home, the rush began again. i missed seeing my bestfriend for her birthday, but still had her card and her hugs to give. that was a bit disappointing. however, seeing other people i dearly missed was a suppressant to the problem and they shared the hugs instead. giving up on searching, i made my way to the train station to join the rest of the group i would chill with that night. so much excitement and so much teen angst, we were in for a ball.

and so it was, a night of laughs, long walks to fast food, chatting with strangers, silly yet entertaining moments and so much more. levi's house was the perfect place to enjoy each others company. friends i did not expect turned up by the load making it much more enjoyable. scrounging more that 200 dollars for alcohol was a grand achievement too. drinking was not on my cards for that night as a lovely friend and i decided to walk to the fast food place closest to our situation. this was at least 20 minutes walk away, but we did it anyways. i swear i have never seen anyone eat so much food in one sitting and still be fine, it was incredible. some other gross boy behind the counter kept staring at me as if he had some chance of getting to know me, sorry but i don't pick up in hungry jacks. little to no sleep, and being attacked with tickling hands made it a great night.

cleaning up was the only option in the morning.

waiting that morning for one of my favourite bands to play was so very hard. so anxious, i couldn't sit still. running into so many companions and others that would be sharing the music with me was great. BREAK EVEN have proved yet again, to be amazing live. they create such an atmospheric way that you become enthralled into the song and want to move. it is true. cleaning the wound of a friend, a little too over-enthusiastic was definitely a highlight, even if a negative one. becoming envious of a friend for his purchases of an album i am very in love with was also upsetting. a close friend and i fooled the like of so many people by holding hands and being us really, with people questioning out relationship with each other, it was quite a laugh. though after the ear pleasing from skyway, unconscious, word up and break even it was time to head to the other venue to see mourning tide! another great show which was very cut and paste as they told bands to stop because of timing. a tad ridiculous i must say.

the morning of sunday came, and so did the weariness. though i still managed to fix my friends hair by shaving it to a single blade. it is much better now and better looking. nana naps and coffee helped me through the day and left my night time open for chats and recollections alike.

today i am faced with a challenge, school and be raged at or no school and boredom. stupid decision of a nose ring. looks like boredom is the one i will choose.

025

floral high waisted shorts; valley markets stalls are tops

wow, in a rush again. i think my life is going way too fast right now, i need to slow down and leave m,ore time for important things like rest. otherwise, like today i sleep in and am late for work. it was not that great. anyhow, everything is great, im making some choices that im happy about!

a very large weekend that begins tonight, with no extra time will mean that this is my last post for the week, and inevitably will leave you minds a little bleaker for the next 3 days. so i will say now that i hope you have a great weekend. tomorrow after waking up in a draft whirl of hungover people i will work and then head straight to see my bestie for her big one-seven, that after a long amount of waiting has finally arrived. i cant wait to hang out with her and ten head out and have some fun times all weekend.

im really keen on saturday mostly, getting to finally see breakeven will complete my weekend! if you have not heard of them, search them now! then heading to samford to see another great house party gig, full of skates to the servo to get late night snacks and some awesome hangs, where you can only join us if your hood is up! i really am so, so excited! but i hope i will be able to talk to some certain people too, i miss their conversation.

i will most probably come back with some great stories and even better vivid memories. so once again, stay safe and have fun!
