Home by 12.30 and in bed by 1 - everyone wins. Genius.

Anna Salen.

Check them out.

Their recorded stuff is good, but doesn't compares to seeing them live.

They're really something else.

Day 36

i am/was soooooo hyper today/now.

possibly exhaustion?

but i don't feel too bad.

more like myself again.

maybe i'm just getting better.

YAY.

Had Aisha & Davo over.

I miss catch ups!

So good.

I love them for driving out to see me.

Wooo.

Let's celebrate with some pictures.

Day 35

I am feeling.. bone-tired. 75% happy, 10% apathetic, 15% wanting to smash storefronts and windows on cars.

My body is .. screaming abuse. I forgot my socks. I worked all day in $10 kmart flats. Sore feet. Burnt myself kind of bad. Pawpaw is magic but its still hurting. BUT still no headache! I think it's gone for good.......?! HOORAY.

After work I.. zombied around my room for a while. Got clean. Planned the weekend. Now i'm here. I should be sleeping though.

My sentiment its not that extreme. But my pay does suck. And i want to sleep for a lot longer than I do.

Album of the Week

My American Heart - Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather.

today's top tracks

__Tired & Uninspired

Day 34

I am feeling.. a frustrating mixture of joy, anger, awe, love, envy & hurt.

My body is feeling.. a little nauseous but i think it's hunger+tiredness. NO HEADACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Work was.. good. Busy again.

After work I.. went and saw Mr Ben Abraham play at Manchester Lane with the gorgeous Sarah B.

Sleep.. did not visit me early. Stayed awake trying to process stuff. Stupid life!

(Especially you, Steph & Mel..! For some reason i was thinking of you both at the gig!)

Day 33

I am feeling.. mentally prepared for start of term crowds

My body is feeling.. relatively fine. Still headachey.

Work was.. BUSY! Hooray.

After work I.. went to the pub and stayed for probably a little too long.

Sleep.. was not really my friend. 4am orange juice cravings ftw.

(Keep an eye out. I was at uni with this dude & he's currently doing Awardschool. He is amaaaaaaaazing.)

Day 32

Wrote a tentative list for 21st birthday party today.

Day 31

I was good today.

Kind of.

I didn't go anywhere except Glenferrie Road.

Otherwise I stayed home and cleaned a little.. relaxed.. all that.

BUT i did spend wayyyyyy too much money on my Glenferrie adventures.

Hung out with JVH which was FUN! I HEART YOU! :) hooray for friends.

Then in the PM Mambo & I went to Lou's 21st.

In other news, my manager quit today. So next week we start term 3 staff short. Fun times.

Ummm nothing else really from today. Worked 730-530.

Got all my tax stuff together, really should get on and do that.

Felt bad for piking on the gorgeous Miz Wakeling but i am so wrecked.

Day 25

So.

One thing ends, others begin.

Church this morning was amazing.

God is so good.

I can't really explain things like this very well.

All I know is that since about March I haven't really been myself.

I lost sight of what was really important.

I was aware but wasn't applying.

As a result, i felt overwhelmed & confused & alone... all those things.

But now I feel like I'm normal again.

It's all because of Him!

YAY.

((I don't know how many people read my blog, and how many of you share my faith, but if you don't & want to ask questions... please do. I'll do my best to answer anything you want to know.))

I made really really really really good linguini today. Mmmmm.

Cheers to Joey, Jenny, Leigh, Ben, Danielle, Leonie & my housemates for the chats & the fun times.

Song for today is Fader, by The Temper Trap.

just to clarify

Yes, Joel & I broke up. It was not dramatic, it was relatively mutual & we're still friends.

I'm a fan of discretion & privacy so that's all cyberspace is getting.

No pointy status updates. No overly desolate quotes. So please don't read into anything.

Thanks to everyone who has offered to pray, talk, hang out & console... you're all lovely.

Day 20/24

Sorry for my slackness.

Updates in no particular order?

Okay.

Injuries.

Headache lasted ten days. Last few days I was scoffing neurofen like candy to be able to get through work, uncool. Went to the doctor on Saturday, apparently it's inflammation/arthritis of the jaw or something. Common ailment. I got given exercises and permission to take up to twelve tablets a day to relieve pain. Yuck. Took two panadol & a Voltaren on Saturday, woke up today, Sunday, and felt almost fine! HOORAY! Just had a little niggle. It's starting to come back a little now, but i'm not too worried. Hopefully it will lessen over this week.

Work

I have to work next Sunday! Lame. I might make a facebook event and get people to come see me for coffee haha.

Work this week was good, though. Cruisy. Last week of holidays this week & then back to massively busy and long-ass hours!! Secret? I can't wait.

Social Eventations

Yes, that says eventations. Sound it out y'all. Went out to Sorry Grandma on Friday night for Emily's birthday. Fun times. Cheers to Spoonin for the ride in! It was good to see everyone but i think i was a bit KJ coz i was tired haha. The last time I was at that venue (Cnr Uniacke Crt & Little Bourke, off King St) it was Housexy.. it was crap! Love the decor now. Love love love. Vibe was alright.

Caught the train down to see my fam-bam on Saturday arvo. Ate amazing cupcakes & lemon cheesecake! Saw my beautiful cousins. Had coffee with Fab. Then went with Mz Ktj to Ice & Ryan's housewarming+birthday x2.. 90's theme! Another fun time. Left kind of early and went to Wheelers Hill to watch Picture Perfect Skys play which was good fun, as always. They always put on a great show & their songs make me wanna dance!! If anyone is in Fitzroy this Thursday they're supporting an Adelaide band.. come hang with me :)

I'm in transit

But I'm stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance
To a better night's sleep at home

And the sweet, sweet sun's comin' down
Hard, the sun's comin' down
Hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
Words don't sink, they swims
Oh, it's fadin' for ya

Best
This mess we tried our best
For something we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain and rescue you

And this fatal world's comin' down
Hard, walls comin' down
Hard, in all our homes
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
Words don't sink, they swims
Oh, it's fadin' for ya


Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
[I'm in transit]
Words don't sink, they swims
[Ah, sweet as a moment, be that it may]
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
[I'm in transit]
