Things that happened to me today:-
- I woke up completely covered in hives. No idea why, it's been a while since I've had an allergic reaction
- I won a pair retro sunnies off ebay that I had no intention of winning but bid anyway secretly hoping someone would outbid me. But now I'm glad they didn't
- I spilt super glue all over my left hand trying to fix my heel
- A moth visited me at work
- I bought a purple cardigan I didn't realise I liked til after I bought it. I was planning to buy the colour I thought I preferred but wasn't in my size. But then I was in another section and found the right size in the colour I love
- I was attacked by a green spider. I didn't know spiders come in green?!
- My colleague opened up a copy of our Leader Domain and a cricket jumped out
- I was offered a job as an English tutor in which I totally accept - good experience, plus it's only an hour a week
- My man asked me to design a tattoo for him - this is strange because that would be like me branding him and he's not that kind of guy
I don't know, but today has just been crazy for me. I don't know if it's the eclipse or what. But it's hella odd!
- Looking over happy snaps
- A compliment from a complete strange - sleazy comments not included.
- When my friends turn up at events colour synchronised! Unplanned!
- When I visit the club I started a while ago to realise there are new members!
- The relief of finishing work and knowing it's behind me
- Finding things I forgot about - a $50 note in my other bag, a random doodle I did in high school, old birthday cards, jewellery I thought I had lost, etc.
- Wearing an item of bright coloured clothing in winter
- Having important memos to pin to my cork board
- Fulfilling the memos on my cork board :)
- Speaking to well-mannered people at work
- The adrenaline that comes with new buys
- Toys that sit on top of my computer - Ralph Wiggum and Gingy Maccas toy
- The comfort and warmth being around really close friends - Aww. Me so corny
Kirsten's belated 19th birthday dinner.
We went to pancakes and I had Ceasar Salad, and shared a Devil's Delight with Vanessa. But really, it was just me drinking chocolate sauce. Yumyum.
Then we went walkabouts around Circular Quay and a busker man with an accordion played for us. We took happy snaps with the chap, and he played 'Happy Birthday' to Kirsten. The accordion made the experience feel very French. C'est magnifique!
We walked up to the Opera house and ran up those steep ramps and got told off by some security guy. Euk! What a kill-joy!
It was a good happy fun happy day... night.
You know what made it extra fabulous?!
We did it in style, Kirsten and I! We wore gumboots!!
I hold grudges because they keep me safe from you.
You know not of them because you're busy. Busy, busy...
And it is to my discontentment that I am not your number 1.
Though you could be mine, if you wanted to be.
You don't want to be,
You're so professional.
Everything is an exchange, is a trade to you.
An eye for an eye I suppose.
To keep an even ground, I play your game
It is my S&M non-relationship,
It's not a bandaid but it creates the need for one.
Sadly, I am my own bandaid.
You will never hear of this because you are as imaginary as my hurt.
BUT! YET! I need you so that I can remind myself how much I don't need you.
It really is that funny.
And... possibly an addiction...
TAFE will be the end of me. Yet I'm so lazy and stuff. You know what I have to do?! DO YOU?!

Okay, it doesn't sound like much but um, I don't know.
I've been sick for the last few days, but I've realised it's been more than a month since I've updated.... The reason for that is... Three days in Victoria's world is equivalent to one and half months in the real world. This means more to me than it does to you. It's like an inside joke except it isn't that funny... to anyone... not even me.
FastForward.
I have a new project that I should be starting on soon but I'm still a bit sick so I'm gonna procrastinate a little longer in bed. My room is a mess but I won't be tidying until I can be bothered. I'm a lazy lazy girl.
Meet Owlbert the plush owl. I made him for my colour&media class. The task was to recreate the colour wheel, and so I thought I could use the opportunity to get in on some felt fun. It's a colour wheel with primary and secondary colours except it's just not... a wheel. It took me a few hours but it was so fun to make, and now I can bring it to class and make everyone feel bad.
And yes, Owlbert was indeed inspired by my shoes.
My idea of studying doesn't involve reading, analysing and remembering extracts from a 400+ paged book. My idea of the perfect course doesn't involve essays and interpretation of literature of any kind. I won't be drowned with second hand information. I don't research and I don't care. I'm happy doing 100+ costume designs. I like playing with textures, mixing colours and experimenting with media. I'll be damned if I have to sit through a 3 hour lecture... or even a 5 minute lecture. I don't mind spend hundreds of dollars on art supplies.
Yet I still procrastinate, I'm on the verge of being expelled because I don't turn up to classes, also I never get work done on time. I like to pile on my work, stress out, cram 3-4 weeks worth of work in 3 sleepless nights, and brag about my capibility while I'm dozing off in class.
It's a nice high but it's not a safe way to be. My body's totally fucked.
I'll never understand routine even though I yearn for it.
But this is how I am and I won't change it any time sooner.
Cheers to instability.
I'm so broke mum bought me these cuties. Ked's Eleanor in Owl Black from Wittner's at Hurstville. They don't fit perfectly because the pretty little bastards don't come in half sizes. They're a bit small so they pinch my feet but because they're canvas I'm hoping they'll stretch a little.
Here's what to do with knick knacks you're afraid to throw away because you know they come in handy sometimes though you're not sure when.
Make a leaning tower of crap for them!
It's a good way to keep check of your small pieces of crap that could be hazardous to small children or/and pet squirrels. I don't know why you'd have both squirrels and babies, frankly I think kids make great pets.
Requirements:-
• circular boxes • glue • marker(s)
How to:-
- Glue circular boxes on top of each other
- Sort your knick knacks
- Put them in the boxes
- Label the sectors accordingly
- ... Ta-da!
Pardon my laziness. I didn't edit the photos, and I wasn't bothered to wait for the glue to dry to take photos. But I just thought I'd share my geniusness with y'all.
On a sadder note, I've been spending so much moulah on stuff for TAFE like pantone markers, artlines, layout paper, excursions, workshops, binders, plastic sleeve folders, blades, rulers, cutting matts, padlocks, etc. I'm close to being broke, I have little money to buy more clothes with. I don't have much time to go shopping these days. I mean c'mon, who does when they're required to do 60+ costume designs in a week. This is the reason for this most random and possibly uncalled for how-to-make-a-leaning-tower-of-crap entry, that could be interpreted as offensive to shoppaholics, mothers, and the RSPCA.
I'm not sorry.
