Stupid Question To Ask In A Bookshop #Don’t Ask.

“What religion is this Holy Bible?”

later followed up by; “Well I wouldn’t know, I’m Buddhist.”

The ignorance in todays society ASTOUNDS ME.

The Girls In Front Of Me On The Escalator Today Were Eating Cookie Dough

Also known as; A Post Full Of Things You Don’t Want Or Need To Know But I’m Going To Post Anyway.

- I have now been sick for over a month
- I have an alarmingly small amount of interest in an alarming large portion of what I’m currently studying but I have no idea what to do instead.
- I just read a book called “The not quite perfect boyfriend” and it made me SO glad I went to an all girls school. Which is a novelty let me tell you.
- I should probably shower, like, soon.
- I don’t have any real friends at uni and have recently been struck by a serious sense of deja vue thus and am quite unhappy about it.
- I haven’t been in a genuinely good mood for… weeks.
- I fell in love with a pair of shoes today which I don’t need [more heels] and can’t afford but will probably buy anyway.
- The last boy I kissed had a girlfriend. And that was… also weeks ago.
- I’m listening to a song called I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed Now but I’m actually quite tired.
- My wallet got stolen/lost [I think stolen] last thursday. Drainer much.
- Writing this is so not making me feel better.
- Gah.
Good night, sorry if that was totally depressing.

bad, shit, awful, horrible, crap, shocking, stinky, stormy, tired, bad, shit, awful…

Get the picture?

  Interestingly, if one googles this blog title, this image came up as the third hit. THIRD. Random, much. The first two, weren’t anything I’d post here so I used this one, though one of them did make me feel a lil sick so I suppose that could’ve worked. Was a big breakfast, I hate eggs.

The purpose of this post is partly to continue in the indulgence of my mood, but also to say that due to my current perpetual sickness I’m not sure if I’ll keep posting much. I will try but as I’m back at uni time is once again precious and this blog, self indulgent as it currently is, isn’t a priority. It might be more of a priority if anyone actually read it. If you get my drift.

The reason for my terrible mood is partly a bad mood that I let myself dwell on but can’t be bothered to get myself out of. Totally wiped when all i did today was go to a shop near me having a sale, and work [see: perpetual sickness]. Work was a drainer but the shopping made me happy. Very happy. New things have that effect on me, I need help.

I bought another pair of black heels, I’ve wanted them for ages but were to expensive. And a tshirt and a skirt. I might manage to post them cause I’m excited to wear them. But don’t count on it, cause, like, I KNOW you TOTALLY were.

“I’m like, the definition of LIC GAS”
quote from a book I read recently, young adult fiction called My Side of The Story. Main characters name, Jarold. Shit. Name.

I just signed up for twitter(ssp8) for a uni subject. How potentially cool. Though I’m sure inevitably annoying. The self indulgence of this blog will become even more abundently clear and I’ll end up feeling shit about myself and I won’t even be able to vent about it on here. Serves me right for choosing a subject called Internet Meets Society right?

Think of the new clothing stez. Nice to meet you anyway, I’m not always this…shit.

Insert witty blog title here…

I was away at the snow, hence no posting. I am back. In case that hadn’t come across already.

I’m currently slaving away at work, ha, browsing chictopia.com and what not. Demanding customers today, occasionally rude, always annoying.

Very tired due to skiing all the time at the snow and me needing a phenomenal amount of sleep to function. Driving to work today it felt like the morning after a big night when you’re not really hung over but theres just that lingering feeling, you know? Only certain kinds of music are allowed and bright sunlight makes you feel more tired instead of warm and fuzzy.

Also, too cold because I wore a tee with a coat and scarf but of course at work not wearing the coat or scarf and I’m now cold. Scouted for an emergency cardi at lunch which could’ve been handy cause I need a new black one anyway, but I only found one that wasn’t too expensive and that was too small. Disappointing in the extreme. This blog is in serious danger of making no sense. I’m going out tonight, will see if I can get a photo for you, last time I went out I think I only posted it to chictopia, I don’t have to resize it to put it up there, username s_s if your interested. My phone is playing up and I’m about to close so I shall end this completely pointless post here, so nice to meet you anyway, have a good night!

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Crazy busy, in a good way, cameras been playing up so outfit posts are somewhat mia but my brain is mia atm so thats probs for the best.

FASHION/LIFE ARITHMETIC:

sick+always tired+going out anyway = extremely tired & still sick

songs for sunday: cause you know, rumour has it its sunday. Though not for much longer. You know, theres something about being tired that makes me disinclined to use capital letters. Interesting, and completely irrational. Flight of the Conchords is over and I’m not watching the moto gp. I sort of wish I wasn’t.

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…
I got distracted. my bad.

london still - the waifs

the soloist in the living room - cold war kids

anything by the kooks. I’m commiserating the fact that their first ever melbourne show sold out in 5 minutes.

mercy - duffy

the longest road - morgan page

11:10pm

And I’m considering bed. Did I mention I got up at 11:50am today? Yeah. Almost 12 hours sleep. The night before was 15 or so hours. I’m almost sure theres something wrong with me.

I’m currently participating in one of the most painful and drawn out msn conversations EVER. It’s my own fault, I started it, but she’s was in the same group at school and she’s at my uni so I see her occasionally and eugh. Why must it be so HARD. So I know the people your friends with at school aren’t gonna be your friends for life usually but its so strained! Just cause she’s not my best friend doesn’t mean it needs to be this difficult. She never was my best friend either so it really shouldn’t be awkward or anything.

I’ve noticed that I’m struggling to keep up with my best friends from school though, one moved away to uni which explains a lot but we’re going skiing together soon and all will be well. The other one though, whenever I see her fleetingly these days it seems to consist of me looking at her incredulously as she describes some situation with her *insert important person here*. Whether its friends, boyfriend, family member, whatever, she still deals with things the same as she did a year or two ago. The girls almost 19 you’d think she’d have grown up a bit by now but apparently not. It becomes increasingly hard to give her a pep talk about how she shouldn’t make things bigger than they are when I’ve given her the same talk hundreds of times and its yet to make the blind bit of difference!

Ok so now that you’ve learnt more than you ever needed to know about my best friend and I…

songs for sunday

my favourite game - the cardigans

american boy - estelle ft. kanye west

whistle for the choir - the fratellis

i will possess your heart - death cab for cutie

slow dancing in a burning room - john mayer

Are you saying your NOT a cannibal?

Today I rushed out the door thinking I should take a pic of my outfit when I get home, it’s quite blog worthy. Didn’t happen. I got home and I barely remember the next few hours. I know there was a couch, Gilmore Girls and tracksuit pants. At some point I managed to make a large coffee. There was lots of foam, thanks to the fantabulous coffee machine* my mum gave my dad for his 60th. This level of tiredness is unexplainable other than the fact its rather common [in steph land that is]. It also leads to a level of delirium that leads me to say some very bizarre things, often over msn. see: title. Yes I said that to my friend. I think he’s going to have me committed.

So the upshot today is I wore my cute Valleygirl dress and yet AGAIN did not document it for you all. I wore a dress to uni, but I have no proof. My friends probably thought they were hallucinating, I’ll rock up in jeans tomorrow so as not to cause any major confusion. I even wore a bangle stack today. I haven’t managed that in awhile. 3 bangles!!! Forgot my rings though, and no necklace. BUT I wore earrings for the first time in awhile, I have the most un-cooperative earlobes ever. Yes I’m aware how weird that sentence sounded and no I don’t care.
Oh wow, just realised I totally forgot to fill you all** in on my haircut. My fringe is now asymmetrical. I think I prefer it long and poofy still but its a nice change. I did do it today but I’m totally not in the mood to try and take a good photo of myself and I’ve already pinned it back but I’ll do so at the next opportunity I promise. Ok so the chances of anyone reading this much of my drivel are pretty low, so catch you next time. Or you know, whatever. Nice to meet you anyway.
*It’s possible this coffee machine will prevent me leaving home when I might have otherwise due to the pure joy it can deliver.
**I said all again. Haha. I kill me.

I’m about to get philosophical on your ass.

Na just kidding. Last night I told my friend to get primordial on that sharks ass, cause his name had kill sharks in it. Then he tried to convince me primordial was spelt primorial. He said haha, no d, you don’t mix it with water to make a sweet drink. Which was a sweet call. But he was wrong. Which I thought was pretty funny. Thought I’d share that with you all.

You know I think the power of hot chocolate is underrated. I just had one and before I drank it I had a headache and I was stressing about this Biology Independent Learning Task that was due like, this morning. I was flustered and feeling rather flat in general. I now feel quite zen. I think this is also thanks to my current soundtrack, Josh Pyke, save your chicken soup for lunch I say. Go with Josh Pyke.
I have a great track record for listening to music despite, not because of, the message. Like a lot of Josh Pyke’s stuff is about love or the search for it [what music isn't] and that’s just not a major theme in my life. I do recall after my last break up going a bit crazy over Lily Allen’s Smile which is a little vindictive of me but trust me when I say, well deserved on his part. So I’m clearly effected more by the music than by the lyric. But thats weird because I’m kind of a singer so you’d think I’d concentrate on the lyric above the music. Something to ponder. Maybe I just found a topic for my Music Psychology essay, I’ll ask my lecturer tomorrow shall I.
So now that random rant seems to have ended, I shall once again love you and leave you. Nice to meet you anyway.

hello again.

I’m busy with nothing at the moment so blogging is, as always, sporadic at best.

You know that feeling when your always busy but getting nothing done? So annoying.
I’m very angry at my body at the moment because even when I’m not busy I’m so darned tired if I’m not sleeping I’m approaching a vegetative state in front of the tv or if I’m feeling particularly frisky, the computer. Right now would be an excellent example of this.
On thursday night I had the 18th of a girl I went to school with at her house and then a few of us went out afterwards just for kicks, it was Anzac Day on Friday which = no uni or work because the shop is closed on public holidays. Hurray for sleep, not so much for bank balance. Anyway, I wore one of my fail safe outfits because I got home an hour before I left and I left 20 minutes late.
Apologies for the terrible photography, I’ll try and figure out something better at some point.
In this photo:
Black and yellow [looks kinda green here, its greenish yellow] dress by Mink Pink
vintage belt
tights by ?
black patent peep toes from payless [halfway through the night switched to black ankle boots, I drove and therefore had a car in which I stored said boots]
bag is vintage, Glomesh and its the real stuff too, my mum had it, it was her mums back in the day. Love clothes with a story.
I’m also wearing a massive stack of silver necklaces mostly vintage or chains I’ve accumulated from broken necklaces over the years, they’re covered in this pic, I was in a hurry. Interestingly, one of them was the chain strap for a bag which I much preferred as a necklace.
This dress has several happy memories associated with it. Now, however, it will also remind me of the time my best friend [LD] ruined my night by chewing my ear off about her fight with her boyfriend for the ENTIRE NIGHT. You don’t have the context so that might sound insensitive but I wasn’t the only one who thought she was ridiculously overbearing. When we went out from the party, 3 of us, we introd her to a few guys we knew where we were and they thought she was a complete snob. Which she’s normally completely not so I wasn’t happy Jan!!! *end rant*
[Jan isn't her name, it's a pop culture reference only tv watching aussies will get, soz]

today i…

- got woken up at 4.45am by my best friend, lets call her Optus [shes a phone person] telling me her boyfriend had a car accident and she had to go pick him up and take him home and got completely freaked out, hence the phone call.


- rolled out of bed at 8.15 [15 mins late] somewhat confused about whether said phone call had taken place, completely lost track of time and almost, ALMOST, missed my train.

- got angry at/confused by my chemistry lecturer [he's an absolute tool] and then actually took something in in biology.

- actually attended a chemistry tute which was useful in explaining to me how to use Hess’ law which isn’t really a law at all

- met up with the random who picked up my phone at uni on friday and called my most recent call which was my other best friend who lives in bendigo [200 kms away peeps, lets call her LD for long distance], how lucky am I.

- the rest isn’t very interesting, spent time with some friends then other friends, hung at Optus’ house for a bit then came home and, for the finale

- GOT 5 OUT OF 12 ON MY MID SEMESTER TEST FOR CHEMISTRY. No shit. I didn’t really do it properly… not at all properly actually. And I did no revision and it was for the first 4 weeks of uni and given we’re in the 7th… I was screwed before I even started. Really quite worrying, but oh well.

************************************************************************************
I also marvelled at the impressive use of a tripod over at www.fashiontoast.com, I know I link her a lot but they’re great photos even if they weren’t using a tripod. And would you look at her boyfriends arms?! Good lord.

I am now pondering the colour I should paint my nails though I think I shall postpone that till tomorrow night because I’m working tomorrow and thats hell on the nails and right now shower and bed is looking mighty fine. I wore a fashionably uninteresting outfit today while in a massive hurry so no photos.
Oh and, highlight of my day, this blogs had 7 visitors in the last 7 days, how thrilling! Even if you’re a one time visitor, twas nice to meet you anyway.
***********************************************************************************
Yesterday I entered the iCing and ModCloth polyvore competition, mainly because polyvore is just so much fun. [visit www.galadarling.com to enter, the post is a few days old now]. Thought I’d post my set here too, just for kicks.
<a href=”http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?.mid=embed&amp;id=1323597″><img width=”400″ src=”http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFjRLTUt2N0FPM1JHdjVGMnhTYjdGakEAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg” title=”modcloth sequin heels set” height=”400″ border=”0″ /></a>

It’s a look, not one I’d really wear, but I love the ombre dress and the sequinned heels which are the required modcloth item. I’ve made a few other sets which I might post at some point if I feel so inclined. Gnight all.
