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.

The Radio
Just like comfortable life is lived with peers and feather,
I’m slightly off-tune, slightly out of ‘together‘. In the background (amongst the crackles and pops) I hear the distant voices behind distant clocks.
I run into you on the station untuned, where in the background voices echo like fumes.
Blame me on a station static,
Your connection is down, your life in the attic.
The radio, like a wave of life, you’ve been born into power, but the tuning’s not right.
Voices stream through white noise but the words make no sense,
Like a shiny gold dollar when your currency’s pence.
I don’t know what to call it, or what to call you, but we’re on the same wavelength, off the tuning by two.
