- Go out dancing all night, then end up at the beach to go night swimming, watch the sunrise, and sleep there
- Make a mixTAPE (not CD) of all my favourite driving songs
- Learn how to drive (mainly so I can play the afore mentioned mixed tape, and stop being a serial lift moocher)

Photo Envy

Nirrimi Hakanson is my favourite photographer at the moment. Her work is inspiring and encapsulates everything that is good and bad about being young.

Cat Woman

Am quite the happy bee today, for reasons which you could but will not know, because i will be breaking the first rule, which is to never give yourself away. But i will tell you this, i feel like im about to explode, but in a good supernova-y type way.

I also noticed something today while on the tram home from uni; people are too afraid of people. Now, i will admit, i am quite afraid of people, but not in the way that i am afraid they will do something to me or hurt me, rather afraid in the way that i may do something to hurt their feelings or embarrass myself. So when a stranger tries to talk to me, my demeanour resembles that of a wild deer or cat; responsive, but wary and poised to spring away at any time. I wish i was more confident, it would be so nice to be so sure of myself. But i guess thats just not me.

Anyways end small rant. At least i know i am going in the right direction (now)

Oh, and I've added two new tasks to my infinate "before i get too old" to do list.

- Follow a band/musician/festival (probably tori amos :P) around the world

- Go to L.A to see Francesca Lia Block, and see the Metroplitan Museum of Art in New York - i never really had an interest in America until her. Oh and Scarlets Walk.

Sarah Blasko meets the dawn chorus

So last friday i had possibly one of THE BEST nights of my life. Mainly because of a lovely lady called Sarah Blasko!
The concert was simply UH-mazing. Words can not describe how incredible this woman is, she is a true performing artist. So instead of lamely trying to describe it , i shall have some show and tell with pictures.

Check out the dress! It had compartments and everything! love it love it love it! when i become an eccentric author i will have many many crazy dresses like her. I am an obscure fashion fetishist!! Oh and i will say this; she has the power to make me believe in xanadu!! only a true musical goddess could do such a thing!

Also went to a 21st, whih was also pretty damn good fun in which many drinks were had, including the treasured and deadly tequila shot, beer, beer and more beer, champagne, and then some more beer. Safe to say it didnt end well some members of our own party (which was secretly highly entertaining for myself!), but yes i was greeted with the sun and the dawn chorus and i walked through my door :) fun tiiiiiimes!!! Socially, life is pretty damn good!
