still broke or richer?
June 19, 2008 in Daily Grind ()
As if it wasn’t bad enough that i cant spend at all for the next 5-7days, i got a letter from the bank today offering to increase my credit limit AGAIN (it’s happened once), this time, by $2,800.
I’m tossing up whether to accept this, seeing my limit has never been used up. its rather scary. on one hand i could just have it, on the other, would it encourage more spenditure?!
broke broken

I think the ultimate thing has happened to my spending habits. Before I’d spend knowing i was on the fast track to broke-ville. Last night i bent my credit card. Not just in one place but TWO.
on top of that, my keycard is linked to the credit card so that means I can’t even withdraw ANY MONEY i want or need for the next 5-7 “BUSINESS” days when the new one arrives.
just as well.
a smile worth everything

Tonight i made a boy in metallic gold sneakers not just smile, but laugh over a stupid “you give the pubes” joke.
Makes me happy beyond so many things.

lonely of another kind
June 7, 2008 in Daily Grind ()
im not too happy at the moment. thus i refuse to go to bed even tho its 3am. its annoying me more that chris has left his phone here so i cant ring him to talk, no one else is online and once again i feel lonely.
i dont understand. why do i feel so lonely. it is by choice that i will stand up on my two feet, i dont need someone to constantly be with me.
not very happy that when cale’s drunk he can display such horrible behavior. he’s done some things tonight that’s left me with a lot of clean up and damage to my things. im not happy at all.
if only i could turn to u.
when i drop dead, play music
June 2, 2008 in Musings ()
I spent Friday driving to Bunbury and then on Saturday to Northam with jimmy, andrew, chris, and corey for their gigs. Friday saw Chelsea join us and Al on Saturday. While the hours and hours of driving have left my right shin a little achy, I can truly say I heard amazing music. music that created little explosions in my head and the ones that made me want to spill emotions.
absolutely amazing.
To which i say, please have a listen to Tim’s ‘Speak the Truth in Love‘ from his myspace music:
Tim Nelson
It’s what I’ve had on repeat. It’s a rather dangerous song because it reveals a little bit of what I hold inside of me at each listen. The good the bad and the ugly.
I gotta bring something up here, funeral plans lol! go with me on this…
When i croak, I’d like an array of music to be played at my funeral because music has carried me so many times. Amongst those i’d like to make sure I have the following 25 tracks played:
1. Opening- Lines
2. I Will Follow You Into The Dark- Death Cab
3. Speak the Truth in Love- Tim Nelson
4. Comptine d’Un Autre Été- Yann Tiersen
5. Transatlanticism- Death Cab
6. Passenger Seat- Death Cab
7. What Sarah Said- Death Cab
8. The Ice is Getting Thinner- Death Cab
9. Your Hand in Mine- Explosions in the Sky
10. Underwater- All Time Quarterback
11. Sovay- Andrew Bird
12. Une Annee Sans Lumiere- Arcade Fire
13. Rebellion (Lies)- Arcade Fire
14. The Funeral- Band of Horses
15. Your Ex-Lover is Dead- Stars (Final Fantasy Edit)
16. Rhododendrons- Bloc Party
17. You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will.- Bright Eyes
18. First Day of My Life- Bright Eyes
19. Gold Mine Gutted- Bright Eyes
20. Fix You- Coldplay
21. Call It Off- Tegan & Sara
22. The Dress Looks Nice On You- Sufjan Stevens
23. For Real- Okkervil River
24. Sleeping In- Postal Service
25. Push Your Head Towards The Air/ Bones- Editors
+ Drive myself crazy/ Gone- Nsync
The +bonus tracks is for shiggles, I’m that kid that grew up on Nsync over BSB HAHA!
Why am i telling you all this? Because i’m worried that up to the time i drop dead, I might still have not found someone I’d be able to trust completely with everything I have to say. Well I know who I can trust with things, but i’m not entitled to having that right or the way I’d like to. Innate in me is that same little girl who still feels the blog is a better friend/outlet for the last 8 years. (holy shit wow, i’ve been blogging for 8 years, that’s, heh, rather sad on some level) So now least someone will know what to do. Just don’t reveal to my parents you got it from this blog. My dad will yell and give me an earful coffin or no coffin. Generally I’d like them to not know what I’ve been up to. Cos my mum might just sing a different tune and say i was prolly asking for it haha!
Oh and did I mention I want some of you to get tattoos in my memory? haha! I want you all to see why I’ve come to love tattoos so much. The pain is worth the finished piece. To which I wonder, right up to that point will my parents know I have tattoos? bwahahahaha!
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be bleak and pessimistic here. Our parents take out life insurance policies and when someone like say your grandmother/father croaks and your parents buy a niche for their ashes, they plan ahead and buy one that fits TWO urns instead for when the other one drops ya know lol! It’s exactly that. This is my way of insurance.
Oh and, the party must go on when I’m gone. So if there’s too much sadness at the funeral, someone take the initiative to play Radiohead’s Idioteque or Justin Timberlake’s Lovestoned to lighten up the mood? lol!
Again, i’m sorry if i made this entry awkward for you. It had to be done.
Strike that one off the to do list:
Buy good music ASSURANCE at my funeral. CHECK!
Wasteland
May 28, 2008 in Reviews & Opinions ()
Here’s the truly awesome store that opened just last year and i’ve since been utterly and completely obsessed with it. I go into wasteland with Chris so much that and just don’t buy anything but just to look at the art and listen to their music at the ipod stations, we’re convinced they think we’re just a bunch of kids with no money lol! We’ve thus decided we’re gonna save up to about 700 and go in and drop it on all the clothes there. Particularly, we’re after the Marc Jacobs jumpers and jackets. I’m after a Malene Birger cardingan as well.
I have however bought a REALLY sick pair of jeans from Wasteland not too long ago- April 77s. It’s got a guitar pick holder too on the right pocket. They’re one of a kind I must say. The jeans material is just, well doesn’t feel like denim at all.
Here’s the website: (although it’s a shame you can’t online shop)
WASTELAND!
They carry:
American Apparel, April 77, Chris & Tibor, Chronicles of Never, Commes Des Garcons, Cybele, David & Martin, Frisoni Finetti, Injury, Junk De Luxe, Junya Watanabe, Konstantina Mittas, Ksubi, Les Bijoux De Sophie, Lumi M by Missoni, Mala Brajkovic, Malene Birger, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Martin Margiela, Mawi Nanushka, Pour Femme & Homme, Sass & Bide, See by Chloe, Tina Kalivas, To Sir With Love
As you walk in, mickey mouse flips you

He also carries a gun!

Apart from the clothes, they also carry an AMAZING array of music and art!




Not to forget books (chris in picture)

I’m looking forward to August, spending my big bucks there :D
and we begin

I just realised I’ve written 4 entries that i never got around to posting. Only because i wrote them for the sake of writing them and posting something. So i put it away and held on for entries of a little more substance. Not that it’s been that case lately.
I know i won’t have time tomorrow to say this so
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!
(mel had to double check with me if it was tomorrow! HAHAHAHA! i’m such a tattertail! Although, nick did think my birthday was 24th and not the 25th. you’d think after so many years you’d at least get it right. To put it out there as well, andrew didn’t wish me, STILL. instead on my birthday he popped up on msn asking me when we should book our flights. im STILL waiting.)
So anyway, it’s been a week or so since my birthday, remember how i had a wishlist that you really couldnt buy with money? Suddenly now that I am so broke (LSS: i bought mum a $900 gift that covers the last 3 mothers day she had to remind me it was, and last 2 plus this year’s birthday present) i’m beginning to want A LOT of things. I’m going to document them as i go and mark them off as i get them. Starting with:
(1) New glasses- tbh there’s nothing wrong with my current one. im not replacing it, i just want another so i can mix things up. Might drop into EyeQ and have a browse towards the end of the month.
(2) Balenciaga Coin purse (regular hardware) in Vert Fonce- yes, im very much still on this, simply cos when i buy little things like that too often when they’re cheap. I just trash them. I treasure them so much more when its got more value. It’s like your canvas school shoes, you wear them and you don’t give a heck about what happens to them. But then you go to Limited Ed, buy urself a new set of kicks and suddenly you treat them with so much more respect.
That’s it for now, because im too tired to function. I have a 3000word essay due monday for legal framework, followed by a 2000word essay on economics, and then a 3000word essay for statistical analysis. So i gotta get crackin on it tomorrow.
Would also like to thank Chris for giving me the Nobody Jeans display box i’ve been pestering the sales assistants at Eldorado for, and the Nylon book of pretty as a late birthday present. It’s MIGHTY amazing. I’ll post pictures soon (:
tres overdue
May 4, 2008 in Shopping - Parties & Events ()
I know, a decent update is well in order. I just really didn’t have the time even though the intention’s been there a couple of times. I don’t even have time to go to all the birthday parties i’ve been invited to, the work get-together events, a boyfriend or even myself, so there really leaves no room for much else because this year, uni has been such a time-thief.
Here’s how i spent my birthday..
I had a dinner for work colleagues at Matsuri’s for Japanese.

And then had my actual birthday party

If you have me on facebook then you’ll be able to see the rest of the photos i took, i just dont have time to shrink them all down to be put up on here. I don’t have the time- is that any surprise?
Andy and Chris also had their late birthday bashes…
We went from classy…


(cecil gave this to andy lol!)

(the cake destroyed by candles that cannot be blown out)

to doing subs and well, as you can see, funneling:


in OTHER news…
I replaced my old bed…

to this beauty!

I also happen to be VERY desperate for a couple of things now that i am SO SO very broke. starting with THIS!
Balenciaga GGH flat clutch in noir

SO badly lol! *cries* cept its also like $500 bucks… sigh…
I will however settle for its sibling, the Balenciaga coin purse regular hardware in vert fonce. That’s like $200 so if i find that rare rare colour, its MINE!
someone wanna buy it for me?
