Day 90

today was sad, then good & fun times, then sad again.

don't know why.

don't care.

that's a lie.

just over 24 hours to go........................

Day 89

REPAIRING CURRENT VEHICLE vs BUYING NEW CAR

for the sake of this segment, current vehicle will be referred to as Car A.

- Would need to spend more than what Car A is worth to make it roadworthy.

- Repairs would involve major servicing, all new brake pads & discs yada yada..

- Plus a trip to the panel beaters to fix the bumper and rear panel so i can repair the connecting tail light (which is the unroadworthy bit) and then would need to look at the axles on rear right wheel coz it's squeaking at low speeds.

- Car A is not really worth fixing. It has over 290, 000kms & is most likely going to die in the next year.. without hope of resuscitation.

- But... Car A is my baby.

- It still works........ right?

- I just spent 400 bucks on new tyres for the damn thing.

- Car A would not be worth much to a wrecker/mechanic.. so what would I do with it if i bought a new one?

- Buying a new car would effectively cancel my overseas plans. Plus from what I can see that's within my budget.. i can only afford cars with relatively high kms anyway. But at least they're roadworthy i guess.

- Get license back this week. Can't really risk driving an unroadworthy vehicle.

Rego is due in November.

..so I need to make a decision. Soon.

lisa mitchell is on the tunes list today.

Had a pasta & wine & movie night with Grace, we were sick & tired together... it was fun! Stayed up talking about names & weddings & jewelry with her & Bre - i've missed my housemates!! Yay for friends.

Oh & the movie we hired was The Boat That Rocked - it was hilarious! So glad i finally got around to seeing it. Great soundtrack too. There are no embed-able trailers on youtube so go look it up yourself if you haven't already seen it.

Tom Sturridge = HOT

Phillip Seymour Hoffman = Incredible, as always

Rhys Ifans = Genius, i adore him

Also, i wish Nick + Norah ('s infinite playlist - great looking film) would come out on dvd already. gosh.

Day 78

pointless video.

amazing hair.

wish i was brave enough to do it.

but she has stylists that follow her around.... and i live in the real world.

plus i don't want to look too much like a boy.

hrm.

i want a new cut.

went home early from work.

sick as.

needed the chill time and i'm feeling a bit better.

glad its friday tomorrow though.

more sleep is totally on the menu.

sucks that when you take time off to rest, all the sickness & tiredness you've been avoiding catches up with you.

Picture Perfect Skys

So I always plug these boys... so thought i'd share their news!

They managed to get enough votes to be one of 7 bands from around Australia to play at Big Exo Day in Sydney next weekend! Fun & exciting & hopefully lots of exposure for them.

I'm thinking I'm gonna go up and watch them play.. at least, i really want to.

I've known them since they started out & I know they're all popular and stuff now but they're my boys and i want to support them even if they don't really acknowledge it, you know? Whatever. If i can get a date for the weekend I'm going to go. You only live once :)

Day 76

I thought today was Wednesday.

Head hurts. Tired.

Love this ad.

Can't wait to see this movie.

Day 75

high.

-new jeans, free jeans. one and the same. epic.

-new hoodie. also free. living the high life.

-no plans all week .. early nights? i'm going to try.

-18 days....... 18 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

low.

-early starts all week. no sleep ins.

-no cash. at all. again. plane tickets kill me.

-no idea what my hair is doing. time to cut it off i think.

material.

-shoes at wittner that i really want. they're 200. cant do it. shoudnt do it. they're so hot. damn.

-not succumbing to the trick that is end of season sales. yes the gorgeous long sleeved tops are nearly 70% off but its going to be 25 degrees this weekend and you won't wear it til next winter you LOSER. okay but it's 70% off, and you'll be able to wear it next winter...

-not cracking it with everyone.. lack of sleep = short temper

-the skin on my knuckes, inside and out, is cracked and coming off. it's gross. i hate hospitality hands.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER.

Songs of the Day

La Roux, Bulletproof

& Basement Jaxx, Raindrops.

On repeat for the last 2 days.

Love it.

Been there, done that, messed around

I'm having fun don't put me down,

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,

my informations' just not going in,

burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,

I'm not to not to love until it's cheap,

been there, done that, messed around,

I'm having fun don't put me down,

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

This time baby I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around,

and tell me now I'm much too proud,

to walk away from something when it's dead,

do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are heard?,

there's certain things that should be left unsaid,

tick tick tick on the watch and life's too short for me to stop,

Oh baby, your time is running out,

I won't let you turn around,

and tell me now I'm much too proud,

All you do is fill me up with doubt,

This time baby I'll be bulletproof

Day 69-74

i am so dead. but things are pretty fun.

here's my blog focused brain vomit.



jess's function went really well wednesday night.
did my hair in this gravity defying beehive and it was rad.
cell was chilled - i slept.
joeys was awesome - i danced to drum n bass and i liked it, who would have thought?
plus had some quality hang out time with a new friend. love it.
i bought lots of presents and it was so freaking fun. i love buying stuff.
had the most successful shopping trip ever on saturday.
my favourite and most expensive heels have a new lease on life. hooray.
grace & i bought plane tickets for byron bay - we're going the 2nd weekend in october. should be good.
i think ive lost more weight which is a bit annoying.
i was really worried after i got sick because i lost ten kilos then kept losing it... i think i've stopped the drastic loss but i def havent put any back on and it means my jeans dont fit, annoying.
spent saturday chilling out mostly.
read harry potter.
wore my hair curly all that day and out to Bang as well which is massive for me ... most people dont even realise my hair is naturally curly :)
spent today - sunday - with my family & it was good. had taco bills. yum.


another friend of mine is moving to my area - literally a two minute walk from my house. i think i started something?

19 day til i can drive again!

broke more off my rear light cover so its totally unroadworthy which is ANNOYING. need new brake pads & new light covers & new headlight before i dont have to worry about being slapped with a canary. damn it.

should get my tax soon. can't wait. need it to cover the plane tix haha. and possibly car stuff!!!


getting really excited about my party! should be saweeeeeeeet!


shout outs to my little bro, the boys from PPS, their girlfriends, jakob, dave v, dave n, grace, rob, darts & anton - who wins best drunken text award for the weekend..... "everyone back to my place for kantong"
