misfits

these kids are too cool for school.

hold on tight to your dreams.

I wish things could work out for me...

I wish I could speak French.

I love cups of teas.

Dairy Milk White Bubbly is really really good.

It's late and I have to get up at 6.30.

I've finished work for a month.

I get family time for a month.

I love my family, coolest family right there.

But I still wish things could work out for me.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE FOUND TATIANA AND ALEXANDER!

I love this book so much. You don't even...yeah, you don't even know.

The Bronze Horseman :)

Neil Young - Harvest Moon.

Come a little bit closer

Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin'

We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'

Let's go dancin' in the light

We know where the music's playin'

Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you

I want to see you dance again

Because I'm still in love with you

On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers

I watched you from afar

When we were lovers

I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late

And the moon is climbin' high

I want to celebrate

See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you

I want to see you dance again

Because I'm still in love with you

On this harvest moon.

love.

list of happiness.

SO I'M PRETTY HAPPY!

Great day - consisted of:

• Book talks at work with work-mate who I don't know that well, but am slowly getting to know.
• My bad jokes are no longer bad because he tells jokes like that too so it's heaven.
• Cute Indian man who was really excited about cooking and kept saying "Hey!" and smiling and pointing to his wok everytime I walked past, "Masterchef material?" Heck yes Masterchef Material mate. Gordon Ramsinator would be stoked.
• And I just realised how cute people are. They totally are. People are brilliant.
• I bought the 'Listography' book from Iko Iko that I've been wanting since 2008...like, it's expensive as, and I actually used the rest of my money buying it but I bought it. And I'm really happy that I did!
• And I kinda got home to an e-mail...
• Saying that I had an interview secured for the Publishing course! I was short-listed and everything.
• I HAVE AN INTERVIEW.
• Oh, and I bought togs.

Family!

I love my family.

They make me laugh so much! It's really weird, but I get the sorest ears and I get really tired when I hang out with family...yeah, I'm probably going crazy. Just shoot me. But I think it's because I talk so much, and laugh so much, and my body just can't handle it.

They are SO funny! Funny is an understatement. Yes, we secretly make fun of people, but it's absolutely hilarious. We shorten every word possible, we make nicknames for everyone, even people we don't know (esp. the people we secretly make fun of) and we looooooove food.

I love them.

Best weekend ever with the sister and co.

They are too too too funny. Even the baby Lilah is, and she can't even talk yet.

I can't help getting sad when I go away, or when they go away. It's just this weird feeling that no one else quite understands me but them.

I'll see them soon. And then I'll go camping with them by the river at our house. And we'll laugh once more, and I better bring panadol because my ears will be hurtin' up a storm!

(btdubs. the girl in the picture is not quite my family, but she's my best friend so she's close.)

we built this city on rock and roll.

Singstar with friends!

I just adore it when friends aren't ashamed to play it. It's such a good time, honestly. I couldn't stop laughing when I first started. Me and Josh sang YMCA and it was just the most hilarious thing ever.

'YOUNG MAN! ARE YA LISTENING TO ME, I SAID YOUNG MAN" hahahahaaaaaaaa oh man. So hilarious.

Then me and Josh sang 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'. High notes = hit, believe it or not!

J'adore.

Christmas Wish List.

Books, any books, cook books, fiction, non-fiction, books about weird facts, photography books, art books. I LOVE BOOKS.

The 'My Life Story' diary. Everytime I go into Borders I look at this.

Vintage 1950s/60s dresses a la Mad Men.

Polaroid film! I miss taking pictures.

Mad Men season one.

Just a few things!

1. I crack myself up so much...just had an epic laughing fit.
   
   
2. There's a ginger cat stalking me. He comes up to the door once a day and peers in with his big eyes. Then when he notices I'm there, and when I wave geekily at him, he freaks the shit out and leaps over the fence like never before, and scuttles up the path... I wonder why he still comes back everyday? Silly cat. He hates me.
   
   
3. My sister comes and stays with me tonight, with her husband and their baby =)
   
   
4. I realised something last night that I have to tell them!
   
   
5. Something about their daughter's name...
   
   
6. Which is beautiful. It's Lilah.
   
   
7. I made brownies last night. I've never ever ever made brownies before, and these are so delicious!
   
   
8. I had a dream about working at World of Horses last night. It's where I used to work as a stable hand. I miss it SO much, it's not funny. I remember walking into the tack room and just smelling the saddles, and telling my friend Laura "Man, I've missed this place." My favourite horse Danny had died, however, and I got attacked by this fat pony called China but it was still fun!
   
   
9. Vanilla coke. Delicious.
   
   
10. If you're in Wellington, check out the window features at Kirkaldie and Stains. Such fun christmas ones that move!

Before I Die.

Such a great book! You have to read it, you have to, you have to, you have to.

Before I Die by Jenny Downham.

It's beautiful. And lord did I cry! Tessa is a mix of likeable and unlikeable - there were moments where I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and YELL at her, but then I would completely understand what she was doing.

Read it.

So called.

The point has come where I don't care.

But I don't care to the extent that I care.

Sleepless nights,

restless days.

I wake up in the morning forgetting that something's wrong,

and then suddenly I remember,

with a frown on my face.

Go away,

please.

I don't care.

But really, I do.
