Back in Black.

It has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted in a while and that my blog is probably feeling used and abused. I don't want to make anybody feel like that, especially some poor little blog that loves me so.

Is there another blog? Some younger, trendier blog on the side? Do I file for a divorce??

These are all questions that this miserable blog has been wondering.

The truth is, there is no-one else. But I never loved you, blog. I only liked you for your looks.


Speaking of looks, I am officially a burns victim and half my face is fearsome and revolting. I shall wait this one out to see if things improve.

As a way of celebrating life, today I decided to cook up a storm.

... Butter Chicken!!

I thought of the funniest idea for a game involving clues, choices and you.
It is very hilarious and very offensive. Kind of like 'Guess Who' but 'Guess who he is dating'
There would be a list of clues read out about how you have been dressing, what you have been drinking, how you've been acting and the music you've been digging. Because they are a direct result of the person you are dating, you desperate bore.

Aerial Arts

This is the next goal.

I graded from Yellow to Orange-tip in Ju Jitsu recently and after seeing these performers last night at work, I have decided I am absolutely inclined to perfect this amazing ability.

I've always had this terrible spot in my heart that feels like some dim, faded, expired passion for dance that would have thrived given the opportunity. I am too old to begin ballet. Besides, I can't afford that. Ballet is a ship that sails early in ones life. Most that the will and the passport climb aboard for a beautiful journey. I believe I lost my ticket and missed my chance.

Learning silks would probably make my overall and eternal sadness somewhat less of a detriment as opposed to a vague absense.

I must do this!!!

Watch this space, kids.

Lately I've been hideously busy with life in the disguise of work and writing. Lately, though... I have been feeling like I'm currently in SYSTEM FAILURE MODE. I can't tell if the worst is over and I am preparing to re-attempt the productivity... or if I am about to succumb to some terrible breakdown. I also stole this brilliant diagram. I wanted to reference the owner! But as I saved it to my USB long ago I have no idea who the creater is... Enlighten me if you will! I am listening to jazz at 1.37am and trying to decide whether or not the noises coming from under the haus are worth worrying about. Tonight was supposed to be an early night. I have work in the morning. Then I am applying for a job on a boat. A BOAT. Then it is to Pancake Manor before retiring to a party. There are too many dresses on my bed so I can't sleep. I need to buy coathangers. I need a walk-in wardrobe. Or not. Maybe I need to take off my work shoes and walk in the hinterland with the wind in my hair. *** That red dress I wanted from Pushing Daisies?!

Well, I like to think this was a nice effort. It's similar, don't you think? P.s This photograph of me was taken at the wedding of the lovely couple who live in a Doll Haus.

These words ought to be included in the english language.

Life plan.

Obviously the best way to avoid wasting my life is this:

STEP ONE

- Finish diploma of Justice Adminstration. I only have two subjects to go... even if they are hideous online subjects.

- Continue making my magazine and attempting to make a name for myself.

- Invite Beau over so he can teach me how to use my recording equipment.

- Begin doing a yoga class a week (aim to be able to do this by the end of the year)

- Continue doing Jiu Jitsu once a week (aim to become a blue belt by the end of the year)

STEP TWO

- Go to London at the end of this year or next (depending on whether I get into university mid-year or not) and work in a classic London Pub. This will be a place for taking it easy and having fun. Also saving a little money. I also want to go all around Europe and to my beloved Italy. I must improve in Italian before I return.

STEP THREE

- Finish degree in Arts (Where I shall increase my knowledge in all things I am interested in that won't make me a career aka photography, writing, music, sociology and Italian. But ALSO science.)

- Do degree in MEDICINE and take up yoga as more than just a hobby, but a LIFESTYLE.

I can study medicine and be a yoga teacher whilst I learn. God I want this. But I also want to be an infamous writer-slash-female-version-of-morrissesy-mixed-with-Conor-Oberst.

This seems so obvious. And so freaking simple. But right now I feel like this:

Day 2: Who I am most closest with and for the longest time...

This is a slightly depressing question because automatically I think the answer MUST be my mother. And it's probably true. The person I am closest with and have been for the longest time is the person who is moving three hours away at the end of the year. I don't want to think about that so I shall call in my back-up plan, Drunkle. My wonderous, drunk uncle.

Above is a picture of the two of us in 2009, on a treni from Florence to Pisa. We were pretending to be angry at one another, but I can't remember why.

Anyway, here are some things that have been inspiring me lately, something chronic.

Um. This cottage. It was well time I started looking for potential homes for the whole "moving out" thing, and found THIS increible little place on Red Hill, what three minutes to the city instead of an hour (where I am now)? And.... it has a LOFT.

Which is quite handy, seeing as one of my favourite bedrooms is....

This coat. I decided to spend my last $200 on it. Because nothing is more important than doing homeless in styyyyyyle.

This CD. I love this band. I was on a bus, it was very in the morning, coming home from the valley, and this amazing band came on the radio, with all it's morrissey-esque voice and cheery accordian-ness. I spent about four weeks looking for them, and finally found out, thanks to Red Socks who is more of a genius than he knows.

These bottles. I took this picture with my phone camera from a book in boarders. I am going to collect fantastic and colourful bottles now.

Her hair is the same colour as mine and I love the purple. Thus I bought this eye shadow. I do not look the same. But I shall post pictures, at some stage. ;)
