Ahh close-mindedness

I saw a friend from my primary school today. We were kind of friends at the start of high school too even though we went to different schools. But ANYWAY, I went into a shop that she was working in and the second thing she asked me was if I was still with my boyfriend (yes) and then she said "The Filipino one" (also yes). This strikes me in two ways. One, why does she feel the need to classify him by where he was born? He was raised in Australia and speaks better English than most it's not like he's some crazy foreigner (not that I would mind, I love him anyway but whatevs) and ALSO, why did she have to ask the second question, it's not like she's heard me talk about a lot of different guys that are my boyfriends... LAME. And ALSO, THREE, why is that the only thing she's interested in? Like, there are other things about me that people should be interested in, not just who i'm sleeping with. I was talking to Jus about this the other day. Why are people only interested in that? It just makes me feel vulnerable and makes them superficial. Is that the only thing that validates me socially? Nothing else I'm doing (kicking ass at school, volunteering, working 3 jobs, all my creative bents) matters?
Gargh this annoys me.

Anyway, I'm going away tomorrow, flying to Melbourne in the AM to go and see my grandma in the sticks and then going back to Melbourne for the Ballet (SO EXCITED) and some art exhibitions before heading back to little Adelaide.

Anyway, that's about it. Also I started my new job today. It was alright, I think I'll like it. Hoorah.

P.S. I'm putting up new links.

Gilles Street Markets

Waiting for water to boil is SO boring. I'm making noodles, how delicious.

I went to the Gilles Street Markets today. They were quite impressive, all the fashionista's were out in force. I would love to go there again and take photos.


2 quick photos from my phone. The top is a very pretty Vanilla Butter Cupcake, it was tasty and the second is the sign for Bicycle Powered Smoothies. Basically the smoothie container gets attached to a bike and the hot guy pedals until the smoothie is mixed. It's pretty cool, and very eco friendly.

Must go and study though.

Maze

When I finally buy a block of land, and build my dream house, I would also like to build/grow a hedge maze. although it would take ages to complete, I really think it'd be worth it.




I also found some totally wicked photos on the web before. But I will save them for a lazy post day.
I got the results for my Children's Thinking Essay back today. I got a High Distinction so I'm massively happy with that. I also got a new job. So even though social wise things have been shitty, other things have been good =)

This happens ALL the time

I think of all the things I want to blog about and then when I open Blogger, I cannot think of anything good.

I went to the markets for dinner tonight with Thom, Jenkins, Ellie, Ali, James, Chris and Shaun. I bought Fruit Salad candies. They're so delicious. Also, I had Kwai Tao noodles which was so yum.

Other than that today was pretty shitty. I had a job interview, I thought I didn't do so well but turns out I got the job. So that's good and the hours suit me so I'm pleased (I'm aware that I said today was shitty but I did get a new job, that wasn't really the shitty part). Also I've felt like crap for like the whole day. I think I'm starting to realise how Em feels. I feel like I'm going to throw up. Also, I have a 2500 word essay due on Monday and it's about child sexual abuse which is depressing.

Also I just discovered that the First Aid course that I was to attend tomorrow was ACTUALLY yesterday =( Hopefully I can reschedule and not lose my money.

And I went to a funeral yesterday. It made me think, what is the point of having friend and family? Like, we're all going to die and leave each other. Everything is just painful.

And... I should stop starting sentences with and. Do you think it's possible to tell someone something (like something you do or something you believe in) and have a relationship that isn't based on that? Wow... way to make sense, no sense. Like, say person A tells person B that they've had an abortion (this is not about me or abortions) is it possible for Person B to be around Person A and not judge them or base all their actions on that?

I want a pair of black and white striped socks but I want the stripes to be vertical not horizontal. I am searching eBay.
This is Amy Lee in the Lithium video which is amazing. I wish life looked like this.

This is Lisa from LisaPlace. She's flippin' gorgeous and only 14! Amazing makeup and beautiful photos.


And I don't know who she is or where I got these photos but I really like them.



Hopefully I start house sitting in about 2 weeks. Hopefully I can hone my photoshop skillz then. And start the many many projects that I have been thinking about.

Must go and study. Even though I cannot concentrate for despair.

ex oh ex oh (God, I love Veronica Mars, Kristen Bell and Gossip Girl)

Death sucks. No matter how you dress it up, it just blows.

Dawson's Creek

So right now I'm watching the last episode ever of Dawson's Creek. I didn't watch the last two seasons but I feel kind of caught up. It's making me cry and that makes me so lame.
