more puppies
2 awkward conversations|talk to me

onto 2009 [04 Jan 2009|10:49pm]

Current mood: reflective.
Current music: billy bragg - brickbat.

wow another year gone. 2008 i did nothing... i went back to uni. wow. I seriously hardly went out, worked a fair bit, spent way too much money on nothing. sigh.

2009 hopefully will be better. i want to just make more time. i did no crafty things this year - i still haven't finished my rainbow brite embroidery. i hardly saw any live bands - i saw kiss. you am i once and i think that was about it. lame...
i am seeing ryan adams at the end of january so hopefully that will be good. i hardly had any fun dinners - i want to go to more restaurants not just pubs next year. although i love parmas!

i want to stop buying stupid crap that i don't need. i have a wardrobe full of clothes that i hardly like - part of this is my job. i have to buy clothes to wear as uniform and i buy way too many but some are nice but then i wear them at work too much and they aren't as fun and new anymore. sobs.

i have to stop buying random dvds that i watch once... although i really want to buy madmen. i've seen some of the first series but it is $40 at borders so that isn't too bad. plus i'm working full time for a month so i should be able to afford it.
shit i'm meant to be applying for jobs... and finishing my christmas cards not blogging! lols. i also want to stop buying shit i don't need like random little toys etc. even though i love them i have way too many. i need to grow up. sobs i don't want to but i'm turning 25 next year. i want to have a massive party. i also want to have more regular drink nights like when i used to go to nevermind every tuesday and trivia every monday.

anyway i'm crapping on. basically for next year i just have to stop sleeping in, stop watching shit tv, stop bumming on the internet and start living again... i've become a zombie. sigh.

anyway we'll see how it all turns out i suppose...................

my dog had puppies... [09 Dec 2008|10:34pm]
the puppies!

their father is the mother's dad. true story. it is gross but apparently it doesn't matter as long as the grandfather/father doesn't do his grandchildren/children or sister apparently. dog breeding is weird. but they are so cute. we have ten at home now. we have to sell these 5 little new puppies as soon as they are big enough.

boring boring [05 Dec 2008|05:47pm]

Current mood: thirsty.
Current music: lenka.

I know it is old news but did you hear about the guy that died in America the day after thanksgiving in the black Friday sales? He was opening the doors at a Wal-Mart store and the shoppers were so desperate for the sales to start they trampled him. It is seriously the worst thing I’ve ever heard. People are so rude. I could see someone getting hurt in Australia, not killed, mainly just rudely spoken to because they opened the door at 9.01. Idiots. I’m so sick of people. Seriously yes serving you is my job but there is a difference between helping you put through a sale and being your slave. Gah.

So my sister would be proud today. I went to what missy confidential said was an awesome sale. But it totally wasn’t. It sounded hot. Lots of home wares and accessories. I was hoping to get some Christmas presents. And while I could have bought heaps of cheap Mozi old Christmas stock from last year, I stopped myself because even though they were 50cents I didn’t need a bit of gold plastic shaped like a peacock in a circle. Sigh. There were some cool leather bags but I don’t need anymore handbags. I have bought at least 6 this year and I have to stop! So I drove to Richmond, took a wrong turn cause I got confused, then paid $2 for parking, stubbed my toe upon entry even thought the step had a yellow tape highlighting it, I still hurt myself! And all I got was a cute red elk brooch. It is kind of florally. I could have got a cute red leather ipod holder but it didn’t have a hole down the bottom for the charger cord. Sigh.

So then I was there for like 20 minutes and thought, well I didn’t want to go home straight away so I went to the bloom sale on church st. again it wasn’t worth the trip. I got a blush and two lip glosses for $15. All the cash I had but I wanted hotter stuff like their skin care stuff and some candles. Ah well.

So I’m working on Christmas. So over buying everyone presents. Stupid fruit season, mum is too busy so I have to buy presents for all the cousins. I went home last week hoping to get some from Wang but it was busy in the shed and I had to help pack fruit. Fun fun fun. I haven’t done it for a while though. And I got out of a little of it because I had to go pick up the wages in town. Sigh.

Not much other news, oh I’m a total nerd and still have a 4.0 gpa. So smrt! Or is that smat?

mushroom wreath
I need to start crafting some Christmas stuff… I want to make this – it is like $50 at the works. Total rip off. I have decided to use one of those ikea jewelry trees as a Christmas tree. I spray painted one green today. I have some cute mushrooms to hang on it and some candy canes. And I got some cute deers from the warehouse that look vintage because they are furry and cheap looking! Lol.

Anyway I’m boring. Am meant to be going to a body shop tupperware style party tonight. Not sure if I will buy anything. I did just get some makeup. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

not doing my late essay [12 Nov 2008|03:39pm]

Current mood: sneezy.
Current music: sheryl crow.

So I’m sitting here trying to write an essay. Its official due date was two weeks ago and unofficial due date was last week. I’m now 300 words in and at least 200 of those words so far are quotes… it is going to be full of quotes… because I can’t be bothered re-writing something that I’m then going to have to cite anyway… sigh it is bullshit. Soo over uni. Well not really who wants to grow up and get a real job. I haven’t checked the real jobs for a while cause I’ve been too busy not thinking about them and just going shit I should be doing my essay…. I just can’t be bothered I don’t care…

Im getting a cup of tea.


In other news I signed up for brown owls… hopefully I’ll do some more craft next year. I’ve hardly done anything year. My rainbow brite embroidery is still sitting there half done. Well I just have the clouds to go and maybe the sky. It will probably look better if I do the sky but I don’t know if I can be bothered cause it is the sky! Hello!!

Some new cute things I bought the other day….

new things

And my new black apple print arrived in the mail today. So that is nice…
my new black apple print
What type of frame should I get for it???

oh and i saw the movie penelope the other day. it is so cute. watch it now...

pop culture... [28 Oct 2008|09:22pm]

Current mood: nostalgic.
Current music: maggie gyllenhaal reading the bell jar.

oh my god so apparently they are making an american version of ab fab. Is nothing sacred?

in other pop culture references - i was checking out twilight on imdb and found this -

What happens when Bella gets her period?

This has been addressed by Stephenie Meyer. She states that this is "dead blood" and isn't as potent to Edward, though it is a bit uncomfortable for him. He's too much of a gentleman to say anything about it, and she's too embarrassed to ask about it.

i always wondered about that... i'm so immature.

anyway halloween inspiration:

Snow White by Lauren47

and general wardrobe inspiration from the movie ps i love you - i normally hate hilary swank but her clothes made her ok in this movie!!!


PS I love you by Lauren47

oh my god im an idiot... stupid paypal i updated my address but it still had my old address as the default. anyway my last two ebay purchases - some make up for my sister and some chains - were sent to my old address. and because i think ive realised too late i went to the old place and checked the letter box but they weren't there. i think they might have been returned to sender... gah... so i just emailed the agent - cause the place is now for sale. i sound like such an idiot. ah well. hopefully i'll get at least tori's make up cause it was $50. sigh... idiot!!!!!

sighs! [22 Sep 2008|11:18pm]
I'm the laziest person around. I never update this thing. I have about five emails to myself with fragments of posts. But they are so boring I never post them!
Update on where I'm at....
So over my job. Well I'm just not getting any shifts. I want money.
Especially cause my ipod broke - I've had it since I was 21 so a good three years and the hardrive part died. And then my sister broke my laptop and her firend can't fix it and now if it costs too much to repair she says she won't buy me a new one. So upset. And then we have our stupid electricity bill currently it is $500 but they keep changing their minds and adding stuff to it. Sigh.

I'm ready for uni holidays. Not that I do much work. I think I do less work on my masters than I did on my bachelor degree but I am getting way better grades? Weird I know. This semester has been tough mainly because classes finsih late and it it is cold in melbourne. Sooky lala I know.
And also cause one subject is all about printing and binding and ebooks and I just don't care. I don't care at all....
Ah well holidays are next week.

I am at day three of my lite and easy diet. So far the food is ok.
Except for some lunches. Today was thai chicken cakes. Which were gross so I got a small salad sandwich instead. The dinners are fine but I'm always so hungry... I mean I only get three meals and two small snacks like two apples a day. I'm dying. Espcially cause saturday day one both my sisters were around with friends and everyone was stuffing their face with pizza. So sad. I want some fattiness. Sobs.

I am sad because there is a new ikea catelogue out and because I have no money I can't afford anything oh and the stupid aussie dollar has gone to shit again. So not cool. Sobs.

so pics from the orchard
close up of blossom

close up of the trees

will write more later....

beci orpin and goings on [23 Aug 2008|12:30am]

Current mood: creative.
Current music: joe strummer.

I just got back from the Beci Orpin show at Outre Gallery. I really wanted some of her work but I think I prefer her Princess Tina stuff – you can wear it!!! Instead I bought this -

San Francisco

I found it cheaper at etsy but that is unframed and doesn’t include shipping. But I love it and outré is the coolest place ever. They have everything I like. Blythe, tara mcpherson, those popink cutsie books etc.

And I got two old issues of Frankie to cut up – it sounds so wrong. But I already have the issues so I can cut them up. So exciting.

Other then that really not that much is happening. I’ve moved into my house. Tried to set up all my stuff all pretty. Somehow we lost the dvd remote in the move – we had it at the new place one weekend and a few days later it was gone. I swear my baby sister Jacquie must have stolen it!! She says she didn’t but I’ve looked everywhere. I bet it turns up somewhere really obvious.

Some pics of my house –
The kitchen
kitchen

and my bedroom
my bed

Um I have so much other stuff to write about but I’m cold and can’t think what it was!! At least I have central heating now. Sigh.

i have a new place to live!!!! [01 Aug 2008|12:30am]

Current mood: excited.
Current music: ryan adams.

i just realized i didn't get around to bitching about being kicked out of my flat! well i haven't been kicked out but the owners want to sell so I’ve been given 60 days notice. This was Friday. anyway a bit of internet searching and "oh shit where are we going to live" later and we have already found a place. we found a place that is about 500 metres away. it is a HOUSE with a backyard so no more annoying downstairs neighbours. it is a two bedroom but has a separate dining room so that can be a third bedroom - esp cause my baby sister Jacquie is moving down for uni next year and our friend Olivia wants to be come back to Melbourne so that is three of us - Tori wants to move in with Sarah. anyway so we found a place online last night, i made Tori call them today. turns out the agent was going over today and asked if Tori wanted to have a look. Tori loved it so ran to my work - well drove, and i filled in the forms and Tori handed them in and then we found out a few hours later that we got the place. all in a day and i haven't even seen it yet! so we said we could move in on the 10th and we only have to give 14 days notice now. so we are moving like next week. sigh! i have to pack so much stuff. everyone teases me about all my stuff but i love it all!!! sob.

anyway so here are some pictures of the new house that i haven't actually been too -
my new house

i love the stained glass windows - they are on the back door as well. so hot!

my new house
the kitchen - how funny is the pool hall lamp? over the breakfast nook. i think a washing machine can go there though. although the websites say there is an outside laundry and a shed! a shed! I’m so excited. not that i have anything to put in a shed... really i could store some of my craft stuff out there but it would get all cobwebby and dusty. ummm will need to get some tools! lol

my new house
anther shot of the kitchen. it has just been redone - but there is no dishwasher. sob. but apparently there is central heating. I’m so happy. it is freezing in this apartment. i have to have like three doonas and two hotties!

my new house
the front bedroom - Tori will live there to begin with and then Jacquie or Olivia later... depending if my bed fits in the next room.

my new house
this is what we are thinking will be my room cause i need the wardrobe space! but my queen-size bed might be too big and my dressing table isn't going to fit. sigh.

my new house
the bathroom - I’m so glad there is no shower curtain. but Tori hates the toilet wooden seat. ah well we will see how it looks.

and the back view of the entrance
my new house

so exciting. will have to take photos of my hot new house when i can check it out. but ahh packing. i stole boxes from work today. and I’m going to have to cull a lot of stuff but i don't want to at all!!! sob sob.

the meme thingy from meet met at mikes... [28 Jul 2008|01:27am]

Current mood: sleepy.
Current music: ABBA.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Well that was 1998. I was in year 8. I would have just got my braces off, I had bad hair, bad skin and was awkwardly growing. I went to a country high school – Wangaratta High.

I played netball on Saturday mornings, my favourite music was top 40, I liked buffy, and party of 5 type shows. I think my favourite movie that year was jerry Maguire.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today- not in any particular order?
- Homework
- finish my rainbow brite embroidery
- Find a new place to live – I’ve just been given 60 days notice cause the owner is selling
- Buy a new camera battery so I can take pretty pictures for flickr – especially of my house. Everything is where I want it to be and now I have to leave…
- research things to do in Malaysia – I want to go there on a shopping holiday at the end of the year but it would be good to do some other things as well.

3. Snacks I enjoy.
- Tasty jacks’ barbeque chips
- fluff on toast… um marshmallow fluff
- A chilled caromellow koala chocolate
- Humus with celery and carrot and pita bread
- Ice cream – most flavours!

4. Places I’ve lived
Out in bush suburbs of Melbourne – Warrandyte, then when I was four we moved to Taminick – basically in the middle of the bush outside of Wangaratta, then we moved closer to Thoona than Wangaratta about a year later.

mt bruno this shows a close up of where I live – the two little blue dots near the mountain range are my orchard.
This is an overview of the district…
google earth

Then I moved again in year 10, 2000, when I moved to PLC to go to boarding school. Then after I graduated in 2002 I moved home then to start uni the next year I moved to hawthorn east – then after three years I moved to Camberwell – it is the same melways page, then last year I moved where I am now hawthorn east again. And I’m about to move again, probably back to Camberwell or maybe just plain old hawthorn.

Oh and I also lived in New York for three months. I lived near East 13th st and 3 and 4th avenues. I lived in a studio apartment with five other people. My bedroom was cornered off with wardrobes.

5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire
Buy a hot house so I wouldn’t have to move ever again if I didn’t want to, donate some, go on a shopping spree, get laser hair removal, then I would take all my friends overseas to partay. Seriously I want to travel and what better way than with all your friends. I would give a share to my family, especially my parents because I owe them money for living and whatnot and my aunty. Um invest some? I would still need to get a job so I would probably start my own publishing house so I could have a job that I don’t need to write up a résumé again!

6. What are some jobs you’ve had?
First job was helping selling peaches at trash and treasure markets. We used to sell our fruit there. I had to suit on a cushion in between the driver’s seat and the other seat in the truck. Yes on top of the gears. We called it the squash posh. I was about 4 when we started and probably about 8-10 when I finally got a proper seat. My younger sister Tori sat there for about a year and Jacquie the baby sat there twice. Then I started helping out in the fruit packing shed, doing all sorts of odd jobs. Then I did housework when I got older. Once I went to Melbourne to go to uni I got a job at target where I did checkout, refunds, reception, cosmetics, ladies wear, fitting rooms, lay-by, door checker, and whatever else was needed. Then I quit that to go work at Bust Magazine, where I was a slave! Nah not really it wasn’t that bad. I did lots of picking up and delivering, fact checking, cleaning, answering the phones badly – because I couldn’t understand what people where saying and they couldn’t understand me. I also did website maintenance. Yay. Then when I came back I got a job at this It company, where I arranged for technicians to go onsite to do repairs – it was crap. Customers treated you badly and I was expected to make miracles happen. And was underappreciated! I then quit cause it sucked so much… then i got a job in retail again. Hated it, liked it for a while and now hate it again. I hated it to begin with because the manager yelled at me… but she likes me now so it was ok for a while but the new assistant manager is a total bitch. Who belittles me and nit picks everything I do. I have never worked with anyone I’ve disliked so much before. I’m really struggling. The manager thinks she picks on me so is going to tell her off. Hopefully that will stop it and it will go back to being good again…

Oh and I’ve also done lots of freelance writing, I did some volunteer stuff at a shop in Camberwell, and I did some writing for a business that sent out stock market reports – that was crap too… but mainly cause it was so boring. So very boring…
Now I want to get another job – probably just making coffee at a publishing house but I need a foot in the door. Sigh.

it is sooo cold [23 Jul 2008|07:39pm]

Current music: the ting tings - fruit machine.

I did no ironing tonight, did no homework, I didn't touch my scrapbooking mess on the floor and I'm only half way through, wait more like a third through sorting out the files on my computer... my laptop fell off the couch and the charger cord plug bit snapped... so it is broken til I get a new cord. I was upset but not upset because we have our desktop back... except mum or her friend she got to fix it lost the cord for the screen and it is impossible to get a replacement. But Tori borrowed a screen from her friend. So now we have one working computer... except that computer has been out of action for about a year. So there is heaps of old shit on there that no one needs. And I saved all my picture files onto my birthday present USB so I copied them over... I have way too many pictures of handbags and things to make and things I want for my house and cute things from flickr saved but I love them all... I'm an image hoarder. I really only like a few... this pic of hello kitty sewing some hot zakka red kitchens and some zakka scans - those were the only ones I could remember when my laptop crashed while writing my first essay in April or whatevs.

I really should have done ironing. Or at least sorted the washing I'm running out of clean socks.

I wish I was tired. I have work tomorrow. But it is too cold to sleep so I'm typing this on my phone while my blankee heats up... I don't think it is working very well. A tip don't buy a sunbeam safe and sound throw... they sound like the best thing ever but don't actually work that well in real life. A hottie is way better.

I have decided to take jess up on her plan for us to go on a shopping trip to Malaysia. Her aunty lives in KL so we can stay with her... so in order to save I'm not buying anything anymore... well apart from clothes from work cause I have to for uniform which I can't claim tax for cause they don't have logos... worst rule ever. And I will buy food, some magazines -ive already stopped buying Madison it was starting to shit me. And I got the shop and real living subscriptions for my birthday, oh and other people presents cause everyone in my family has a birthday coming up... but that's it... oh and if there is something I REALLY love, or is really cheap like a Luella bag for $20.

I saw the dark knight today. It was good but it wasn't as life changing earth shattering good as everyone has been raving it was. I also saw get smart on Friday which because I thought it was going to be woeful turned out to be not that bad. Not great but not as bad as something like bewitched.

Oh and I'm allowed to buy a flickr account... I need to scan more pictures and take more photos well better photos but I want one... and I want moo cards. Not that I need them at all.

i am sooo lazy... [16 Jul 2008|11:22pm]
i haven't done anything exciting in ages... i went to the pancake parlour on sunday. I had stocktake on Monday, and didn't finish until 8.30 yuck. i have to work tomorrow at 7.30AM... ah well it just means more money and me and the manager (who are totally buddies now which is weird, i think she just realised i'm better than the other girls so she likes me now!!!) can bitch about everyone else. so that is fun. and then my friend Elisha is coming over and we are watching this keri russell movie waitress, that we have been wanting to see for ages. seriously we have been trying to get a date for it since it was at the cinema.

oh i went to teh salvos today. I'm so sick of going in there and never finding anything. i do own way too much stuff so i suppose that is a good thing. but i love finding little tiny bits of crap that i don't need for $3. i did buy a hot photo book about new york for $5 from angus and robertson. but apart from that all i got that was exciting was some chips from teh supermarket!!! nah i had to buy some birthday presents for the little twins - i can't believe they are 2 this week. it is crazy. i got annabell a angalina ballerina book and toy and i got charlie a thomas book and a wiggles colouring book and crayons. wow. i still need to find a present for justin though - i have two candlesticks from teh salvos and a hot silver plate thing from vinnies but i wanted to get him something new as well. i hate buying stuff for old people who already have EVERYTHINg... sigh.

oh i got my electric throw back on saturday when mum and dad visited. it has been broken for so long... ummm heated blankee. it is good that my cousin's husband works at harvey norman. he got a brand new one for me.

ummmm what else to say?? uni was ok. except i went to advanced editing and there was no boys... it was like PLC! and there is this annoying old lady in it... ah well she might turn out ok. maybes...

ahhhh i should go to bed.

i've been without the internet... [10 Jul 2008|11:04pm]

Current mood: amused.
Current music: weezer.

i was home for all of last week and the computer was broken so i have been without the internet for ages... so instead i did lots of housework. did some embroidery - i've almost finished my rainbow brite embroidery - i just have to finish the clouds and i might then do the sky if i can be bothered. so probably not. and i also did some salvos shopping, i didn't find much, and i watched a crap load of dodgy dvds. like this terrible movie with veronica mars in it and there is a ghost killer that escaped from the internet and it sucks out you soul... blah. oh there were some terrible dvds but i can't think of any right now.

this week i haven't done too much. i went to work on monday. so that was fun. but it was ok. apparently the annoying full time girl quit to travel overseas. teh manager isn't upset cause she was probs going to fire her anyway. so i'm happy about that! ummm my friend Olivia came to visit on tuesday. i did some housework - not ironing, i have so much ironing to do, and i never do it... i'm so lazy!!! but then she came and we bummed on teh couch, got bored so we went to 24 hour kmart in east burwood. there was nothing there. I think it is because it is the toy sale - although in wang i did buy my friend Olivia the Wizard of Oz barbies cause they were only $25 rather than $50. she also just bought the hot new alice in wonderland barbies from ebay. i want some more barbies but i have nooo money. sob! anyway all i bought at Kmart was three hello hello kitty pez dispensers. they are pretty hot. i want the fourth one but they didn't have the plain hello kitty one there. sob.

anyway then yesterday we went to melbourne central to stalk meryl streep. i did see my friend rachel - who works for the herald sun - anyway go to http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23997458-2902,00.html and click on teh video - i'm the one being an idiot cheering... i was cheering at my friend and didnt' realise they were filming. so bad...

anyway so olivia loves meryl but it so wasnt worth it. she did get a hot photo with rhonda burchmore. but apart from that we wasted our day. we did much teh same today! lying in bed trying to ignore the workers cutting down the tree at 9am...

um so that is about it.

oh my birthday. my sister gave me a usb! so not happy!!! but the family gave me a hot red kettle, a subscription to shop til you drop and Real living, and tori also gave me a facial voucher. so that is hot. i got some random presents from friends that are cool - sarah gave me a cupcake stand, i got a hot red scarf from brett and justin- but i've worn it once and it made my jacket all red with fluff... and i got some books - amelia gave me the princess bride and my cousin margie gave me $20 so i got a $10 learn to sew book and then put in extra so i got this hot book called an hour at home or something. it is all about cleaning and diy and stuff - it has lots of tips for using bicard soda and then patterns for cute cushions and things. that is all i can think of right now.

oh and then a few days after my birthday i went to the salvos and found this hot holly hobbie pin dish that says happy birthday. when i can scab my camera back from my baby sister i'll take a photo of it.

so i'm probs going to buy the proper flickr account - i got a high distinction on my 5000 word essay - nerd alert i know! - so i owe myself a $30 present. and there isn't much else i want apart from that hot cannister set. or maybe oh i can't think of anything!!! oh when i was in wang for a week i had to bring jacquie to melbourne for a night, and i went to trivia - we won, and then monti and i got nicely drunk and we turned our poo change into notes on club keno - i seriously had to take up about three dollars in five cent pieces. so bad.
anyway so we went to chaddy and melb c and there was hardly anything i wanted. i hate shopping when there isn't anything worth buying. i did buy a fake chanel pearl necklace and when i got it home and was wearing it for five minutes it broke... so devo. i've since fixed it. lol.

anyway i'm crapping on. will write something more interesting when i have something more interesting to say... lol

i just uploaded more flickr pics and i've posted too many... and now i have to pay. so annoyed. it is only $28 for a year. but gahhhhh. i would pay if i could take better photos! i also want to get some moo cards made up. so that's another $20. and i found a hot cannister set at the antiques centre today for $90... gah i thought i had a photo of them but i don't. and i've just spent an hour looking for some on teh internet. lol i'm so lame.

so i'm going as lily allen for my birthday party and i went to safeway looking for fads and they didn't have any. i hope they still make them!!!

stuff... [14 Jun 2008|04:13pm]
i've just spent ages watching angel and scanning in random stuff... while scanning my stupid ikea chair broke - it was always broken but i thought i fixed it. anyway the middle bit of the office chair broke and i fell on teh ground. it is pretty funny. but it hurts!!! so sad!

so here is where i put all teh scans - http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorryx3/ hopefully this link will work.

oh i finished my essay. i'm pretty happy with it so that means it is probs crap but ah well. i'm meant to be going out tonight. i can't be bothered right now, it is cold, my bum hurts! and i'm hungry... ah well.

anyway will write a proper update soon - just like i will do some proper crafting soon. i also need to clean up my apartment because we are having an inspection on tuesday.
