song of the day.

Most days, I have a 'song of the day' that gets stuck in my head. I don't try to think of it or anything, it is just there. Sometimes it takes me a while to actually notice it, but once I do, I can't ignore it, it keeps coming back.

Yesterday's song was 'The Weight Of Us' by Sanders Bohlke. I listened to it several times in my lunch break at work, but it remained with me right until falling asleep.


Today's song is 'Not The One' by Basement Birds. I haven't listened to it yet today. But I will...

apricots.

lately I've been finding apricots to be really inspiring. I just love the combination of colour. It makes me want to crotchet a blanket or paint or draw or learn to sew... or something.



Of course, I have also been enjoying eating them this summer. It is just a little bit of an extra treat that every time I eat one, I can't help but be happy.

happy december

Oh, it's December. Christmas is coming. And I want a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

quote of the day

"Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?" - Winnie the Pooh.

Right now.

My toes are cold.
I'm rather hungry.
I should be doing an assignment.
I'm home alone.
I'm waiting for my pay to go in so I can buy the tools required to fix a rather bad fringe hacking incident.
I'm sitting in an odd place.
I could use some company.
I'm wishing for too many things.
I should really wash the dishes.
My back is quite sore.
My hair is damp.
Everything is oh so quiet.
I don't know about a lot of things.
I really want to read Winnie the Pooh.
Have a day / Celebratory by The Polyphonic Spree is playing over in my head.
I don't know where to begin.
I'm looking forward to the weekend.
I'm considering putting socks on.
I think I'm done.

eek!

It only just dawned on me... My life as I knew it no longer exists. Four weeks in and bam... totally hit me. And I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed.


ok so I tried to put a picture up, but failed.

Basically, I have no life now. I've only just realised. I just made a time plan for my week... And it is full! There is like no spare time! Or maybe there is, but like only 2 hours spare for the entire week. and I was still short 4 hours of study time.

Ok, so this is my little freak out. Of course the chances of me sticking to a schedule are quite slim, but really, I have to try! It's the only way I will get almost enough study done...

hello.

Just a quick note to say that I haven't forgotten you, and that I promise to write soon.

xx

penguin classics.

Pretty books.


Me & Jane Eyre.

(Hello Mr. Rochester!)

pet hate.

I really REALLY dislike it when words that should be spelled with a "C" are spelled with a "K"... with the exception of Kool Fruits. "Cool" Fruits would just look lame.

last chance.

Lately, my blog has kind of died. I haven't had much to say, nothing exciting has really been happening. I have been thinking about killing it and starting over, but I think I'll give it one last chance. So this is where things change. I will try to blog at least once a week. I will try to make it interesting, no matter how boring it actually is. It would be a shame just to bury it under the old willow tree. Ok blog, I promise to try harder. Maybe we could use some colour around here. Maybe I should start using more pictures. Perhaps I will, but don't hold your breath for them. I'm sorry I've neglected you, so here's to starting over... but not completely.

one, two... skip a few... ninety-nine, a hundred!

It seems that whenever I really want or need an early night, I get all inspired. Not even inspired to do really awesome life changing things, but just to do things. Sometimes silly things, pointless things. And even impossible things. Its only 10pm now, but I have given myself a task that could potentially keep me up all night. Of course at some point, I will have to force sleep upon myself. Why oh why must it always be on a Tuesday night?

Ok. I have given myself a mission. Inspired by Triple J's hottest 100 of all time. I want to make a playlist of my top 100 songs. I really wish I didn't think of it. And the rule... one song per artist. Not sure if it can be done! I am going to have some trouble. Currently I am stuck on crowded house. I thought mean to me was my favourite, but then I remembered all of my other favourites. I do however know my favourite crowded house music video... something so strong. So funny! But yes. For now I am trying to think of all my obvious favourites. But I will struggle with a few artists.

And then... Do I put them in order? How will I ever choose that!

When (slash if) I complete the list, I will show you.

I don't need no title. (Because I just can't think of one!)

Once again it has been a very long time since last blogging. I'm thinking I might just start doing it more frequently these days...

A lot has changed recently, I suppose. The main thing being I am finally moved out of home! I was going to say ALL moved out of home, but the truth is I still have a few boxes of my childhood I need to sort through. But apart from that I am all moved out! I must say only moving a street away is quite handy. For example, I wanted poached eggs on toast for dinner. I have no toast. Or bread even. So I popped home and grabbed a few slices! Yay! Dinner can happen at last!

I am rather liking my new found independence. Sure it's only been a week, but I have a good feeling about this!

What else. Hmm, was just at the ranch this weekend for the first time in like a year. I wish I could get there more often. It made me realise how much I miss leading! Hopefully I will get the chance to soon. Although soon probably won't be for like at least a year! Oh well. It was a good weekend, though I experienced some unexplained emotional-ness. Sometimes you just need to cry I suppose!

I am tired and I need to poach my eggs, so until next time... farewell.

this and that.

It is FINALLY over! I have officially survived 4 weeks of managerlessness (totally a word) at work. Now I don't have to worry if nobody can work on Sunday, I don't have to start work at 7am everyday, I don't have to stress like crazy, I don't have to walk into a mess of a coolroom after having a day off, I don't have to worry if I ordered enough ice creams (well, not as much at least), the pressure is off, and I am extremely relieved!

Ugh, its hot. Uber hot. And I don't like it much at all.

Today I bought towels that are 1m x 2m. Very large indeed.

I am annoyed with my hair cut. It looks weird.

I have a song stuck in my head. Oh my goodness, speaking of songs...

I totally heard worship music in coles the other week. Like not just mildly Jesusy, but FULLY! I was like hmm, I'm hearing a lot of holy and worship and Lord God almighty. And then I heard DC Talk!

I am looking forward to having a coles-free weekend.

I can smell steak. OH! I am about to eat steak! HOW RAD!

/blogging.

Yay!

So, for the longest time I have said nothing. All of a sudden, I have things to say!

I am finally moving out!!! (That would be my most exciting thing).


The details - In about a month, up the hill, with Wendy and Claire. I am very much looking forward to it! So yay!

I can breathe

Tonight I got breath tested at the McDonalds drive thru! I was super impressed! I thought it quite quite sneaky and very smart, because drunk people go to McDonalds. It's what they do...

hello.

14 sleeps til Christmas. Where has the year gone!

Well I haven't written anything in a while. I guess I'm boring. Today I put a new ipod on layby. I'm excited about that! My old one is full, and it makes me sad. And this way I will have plenty of room for all of my songs and more. To celebrate, I bought an extra 50 downloads from emusic. Yipee! The 26th did seem way too far away anyway. I guess it is only 15 sleeps...

I'm not really sure what has been happening. I've been feeling quite busy recently. I suppose this is my 46 hour week at work, and I have quite a few other Christmasy things going on. I am quite looking forward to Sunday afternoon, where the bulk of it shall be over. Sigh.

I saw a kangaroo hopping up the road last night. I thought it was a person at first. It seems I was wrong.

I would really like to go on a holiday, I have decided. Either that, or find a new job. ha. ha. It's not that bad I guess, but yes. I want holidays! But I don't think that will happen for a while.

Oh, so I haven't eaten chocolate in like... 11 days, I think. I decided to give it up for a while... I still haven't decided how long for. I sort of want to give it up for as long as possible... but that means I could quit at any time. I think I shall keep going, see what happens. I'm thinking I will avoid it at the very least until Christmas. But maybe I will keep going. Hmm. What to do. It's no big deal. But I have decided I should give up something else as well. Not sure what. Maybe juice. I drink too much juice... I'm sure that if I can give up chocolate, I can give up anything. Maybe.

Oh, I need to find 2 santa suits within the next 20 hours. Bother. And a kazoo...

And I think I have done enough rambling for the evening... Now.

Happy.

I am so unbelievably excited. I have Saturday off! And Sunday. Oh, and Monday!!! 3 days... in a row! Yay!

And...

I will no longer be working every Saturday... only every second! So it seems I have some of my life back!

ebay shmebay

Ahh, gotta love it when you bid on things on ebay without really thinking it through.

And especially when you win.

Seriously, what do I want with 20 pairs of kiddie earrings? I don't really know what I was thinking. Oh well!

hehe, oops.

Oh dear. I guess it had to happen sooner or later... (but never would have been nice)I reversed into a gate. Sigh. I wish I didn't, but I was tired and stuff. And now Lorelei has an ugly rear. 23 hasn't started so well... but at least things will only get better from here. I have decided!

On a happy note, I received something exciting and yummy in the mail! It kinda made my day. I also played in the park with Amanda. The tyre swings were more painful than I remembered, but very fun. And, the mascara I'm wearing is freaking awesome. I was lazy and didn't take it off last night, but when I looked in the mirror at 5:30 this morning, I looked better than normal! No panda eyes at all. And, then today... I had an eye rubbing fit. And I was like oh no, I just rubbed my mascara off... but I didn't! It was still on my eyelashes, and only my eyelashes. Not even a tiny bit of black on my face! So that is a very good thing!

And yeah. Now I'm sleepy and must go... sleep. Ha! I can't wait til Saturday afternoon is here!
