Pink Glitter

This nail polish makes me happy when I wear it. 


But it's a bitch to remove.

BOUGHT

You guys, as of two days ago I am the proud owner of a stunning art deco apartment!!


The story is one I will tell soon. But just know that I'm beside myself and can't sleep at night for the all the excitement running through my veins!


It's long been a goal of mine and now it has a massive tick next to it and I can't tell you how immensely satisfying that is. 


It feels like home, it feels right. It's MINE!!!

JT and his box

So much to post about over the last week and as a teaser it has to do with work, apartments, site and boys. All the juicy stuff I suppose. 


But for the meantime, this is gross but makes me laugh. JT has quite the sense of humour....

This is a sad day.


I loved this blog: Scenes-from-my-hood.


It inspired me to blog, to buy my camera and take photos of what I see.


I loved Kate's writing style. She spoke truthfully. She was entertaining. I could relate.


The blogosphere is less rad with her no longer posting.


Thanks Kate, for being a brilliant damn blogger. We will miss you.

Obvious Crush Thursday

Ryan Reynolds



I would love to give him an "Adult Hug"

8:56am EST

This is a big FU*K YOU to my arse wipe flat mate.

This morning I got up to find he had stacked all of his dishes into the dishwasher EXCEPT for my two measly cereal bowls.

WHAT?

When I asked why he said it was to prove a point - ????

Ohhh, he means the point that I've been cleaning up his shit for the last five months without complaint constantly and that he's a fu*king arsehole flat mate?

POINT TAKEN WANKER

Added to which two weekends ago his parents landed on our doorstep for four nights over the weekend without giving me any notice (we live in a two bedroom apartment). He has five mates descending upon the place this weekend. He has no manners whatsoever. Sometimes I can't see the friggin furniture for his socks and jocks. GROSS. OVER IT. Over his cheapness and over his attitude.

I am hereby looking for a new place to live and a new flat mate.

8:51am EST

This is a shout out to my good friend Lanes who, despite having an intensely high flying and important international job, has an incredibly relaxed countenance and approach to life.

Cheers to your 'Zen' Lanes. Inspirational.

Today is a day where I'm feeling completely flat.

I had to wear white to detract from the green tinge my face is taking on today. Prince William and Cate are an amazing couple and I'm beside myself for them but I can't help but feel completely jealous. Not because she will one day be queen, but because someone loves her enough to want to spend the rest of their life with her. I deserve that too.

They are a team. They decided together. They've shared 8 years together so far and many more. I deserve this too.

It's following that everything in my life has momentarily lost its rosey glow. I feel completely used and underappreciated at work. Terribly unmotivating.

The only saving grace today is that I know my lovely friend is returning to the homelands after three long years abroad and I cannot wait to have her grounding and caring presence more local.

Today is a day I can't get into work.


I'm distracted wholly.


After backing up on the party front both Friday and Saturday night I am feeling a little worse for wear still.


I want to hydrate, have a facial, inject nutrients back into my skin.


I also want to pass a motion to not drink in excess ever again. What is the point? It only serves to make me a damn fool who doesn't know what time it is.


I had an epiphany this morning and this is largely feeding my lack of concentration, that I drink and smoke to cover up stuff. There is a need in me to do it. But what is that need? Where does it come from?


Is it because I feel like I can't be myself when I am out with friends/boys?


Is it a confidence thing?


Is it a mystery veil, a barrier that stands between the me deep down and everyone else getting to know that deep down me?


Is it sheer boredom?


Perhaps it's a combination of these things. All I know at this point; it can't go on like this.


I am willing to change. I am willing to release the need.

Saturday

Aside from getting up at 5am and going for a super athlete work out at the gym I have spent the majority of today on my couch, napping, watching crap tv and gazing out at the amazing blue sky.


For reasons unknown to me I'm completely lazy and unmotivated to get off it. 


I know I should. Saturdays minus hangovers are fabulous. 


But I'm so tired. And I feel like carb loading because of my tiredness. 


Also, I feel like some trifle. I do love trifle. Maybe with some syrup in it as well.


Boo is in Sydney and I miss him. 


Mama L is going back to France soon too but I wish she would stay. It would be so nice to have her here full time. 


Also, I just bought some white converse sneakers and a red dress on ASOS.

Piaf Cafe Bar Bistro

Friday night drinks and eating was conducted at a favourite haunt at Southbank - Piaf.


It has the best eye fillet in Brisbane. At $22 for an eye fillet with mushroom duxelle, jus and beetroot pure, this is the best value steak, hands down.


It is flavoursome, always cooked to perfection and the perfect portion with a delicate French twist.


The service is 10 out of 10. On a busy night we were seated straight away with no booking. Out waiter was attentive and everything came out within 15 minutes, all at once.


I am well impressed with this place. It is easily one of the top restaurants around this joint without the pomp and matching pricing tag.


People of Brisbane - check out Piaf - I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

10:37pm EST

Big Friday. Big week.


I'm completely exhausted from being flirtatious and fabulous at work, having been distracted and on edge for most of the day. 


B is on a mission to tell me how he feels, in as many words.


It's disarming. I get the feeling he's a true, good natured, honest country boy from Adelaide. But I've been wrong before. 


He also gives me the feeling that I've rocked his boat to the point where he's about to tip right out. 


Terribly flattering, yes. 


What is happening? Where did all this come from all of a damn sudden? And will it please stop so I can get some bloody work done!

10:30pm EST

Long walk with Boo tonight. We chatted about our life. He's considering lipo on the spare tyre. I'm considering lipo on my life. 


It now seems that I have this Pied Piper-esque ability to attract unavailable men. 


B has a girlfriend down south who is/was apparently supposed to be moving up to join him.


He isn't "fussed" about the girlfriend sitch explaining that a "rut" would be an understatement, and apparently I am "doing his head in". 


Let's face it, I'm flattered and all, but really?


1. I hate whingers; and


2. I don't get involved with guys who are unavailable (emotionally and mentally) (And OK so I learnt my lesson the first time with T).


So this is a shout out to B - and all those dudes out there who are having a mare:


BE HONEST - SORT YOUR SHIT and don't move on to other pastures until you do.


It's a shame because I really do fancy B. We get along well. He makes me laugh.

Rock Dust Light Star - new Jamiroquai album.




That guy is uber cool, love his moves.

And B is glad I'm back from Site. 


That is all.

Melbourne Cup Cap

This is my head wear for the Melbourne Cup today.



I cannot believe I'm on Site, the LEAST glamorous place on earth. I vow this time next year I will be in one of the Marquees among the Mumm and celebs with the chicest outfit to boot.


Hmff!
