All Day In Bed And Not Even Sick....

Well, that Jah Children project didn't work out, I got too nervous going up to people, AND I left my new SD card in my parents' car so the original card filled up by Thursday night (i got there Wednesday morning)
Being the last to go to bed EVERY single night (ranging from 2-4am) in my cabin has taken its toll and now that I'm back home, I've been sleeping in and staying in bed all day... such bliss from waking up early everyday, uni crap and moving to and from houses every week.

So here are a few of my favourite photos of those 2 days my camera had some memory:
They're kinda crap and all, but i like them and I'm getting back into people photos after finally buying a new battery and charger for my camera instead of using my film camera for only special things.
*Note To Self: get more than a year's worth of film developed soon.*
i still don't know why the photos once uploaded are so small... :(


Jonny's feet at the caravan


Kathryn walking


Revive Tent where you can either sit on pillows on the floor or at tables. more often than not, i chose the floor.

Et en finale; Moi
black cardi: MNG/blue shirt: Chai tent at Soul Survivor/plaid scarf: Savers/
Chain Necklace: etsy/belt: Westco/Jeans: Factorie/Elephant bag: I made


So at the festival they have these amazing rad tents and stalls etc, one with $1 Chais and I hit that shit like it was going out of style, a tent with all the stuff from Tear Australia (an amazing mission organisation that one of my lecturers is heavily involved with), and a little corner with 2nd hand vintage shiz from which i got an awesome Sarah Blasko-ish shirt.
Soul was pretty life changing this year, so was last year (i rededicated my life), but so much crap came up that helped me sort out and give to God, fix up relationships with people around me and rid myself of the burdens I carry for people instead of just empathising with them. :)
'Twas a great weekend, meeting new people and getting closer with ones I already knew.

Nor Shall He Be Smitten By The Moon of the Night

Wowow...
this has been my first post since a very long time...
well, i know no one is reading this but i guess i'll put it up.
Usually, I feel that I am the only one with my certain dress style because i take from so many inspirations and all the blogs i've been reading of late are just one certain style...
SO, here's to the punk/girly/tomboy/withdrawn girls of the inter highway
:)

ok, so this year uni has been crazy as can be so i havent been able to buy new clothes...
so rummaging through old clothes, making new ones from fabric thats been lying around for months and months and good ol' ebay...
here is my planned outfit for the first day of Soul Survivor and i'm quite nervous because people there are amazingly dressed.




how amazing are these tights!!

'rainboots': Kmart/socks: Savers/tights: ebay/black velour skirt: i made last night/san andreas shirt: my cousin gave it to me, it was way too big so i fixeded it :)/denim jacket: savers/Keith Harring pin: can't remember... :(/chain scarf: etsy/björk necklace: Lenko/stripey shirt: Salvation Army/beret: Valleygirl/bike shorts: my sister's room, really..

It's pelting down right now, and Soul is pretty much all tents and shibblez, so i finally get to wear my gumboots!!!

All during the festival, I will be taking photos of people individually, noting their clothes, or something odd or different about them, much like Richard Avedon. A new project I have set myself named Jah Children.
the name only because I'm listening to Bad Brains and The Meek came on.

p.s. Caryl, you are the greatest :)
and I am a dork

With The Wetness




Wow, its been a while since my last blog. I can't really write about much because I haven't been doing anything. Just sitting around, watching DVDs and going on the Internet a lot.
So I have 3 more days left of this trial, I get out Friday night and am SO excited to be finally done when the time comes!
It is pelting down with rain outside but I only hear little trickles against the window which really sucks because I love heavy rain and all the sounds it brings with it.
So speaking of rain and all things wet, my sister and I have been deciding what to get Mum for her birthday which was yesterday. We came across a day spa and all the lovely treatments that come with it and decided, "Yep, that's what we're getting her. She will definitely love it!"

I've been searching around over the net and looked at the Indulgence Package for Crown in the city and um, the price pretty much flew that one out of the window... $835!!

Orchid Day Spa ain't too bad, $160 for a 3 deal package thingy of a facial, spa salt glow and a giftl. It's 2 people putting together, though, so I don't mind putting in more for her to get more, shes only put up with Judy for 25 years and me a horrid 19.

Now, browsing through the Lyall Hotel spa, I am really indecisive so instead, I am going to watch Before Sunrise with Ethan Hawke and Julie Deply from 2 Days In Paris (I can watch 2 Days In Paris over and over).

Cannulas and their place in the galaxy

Blahhh, I got a cannula in my arm this morning for the clinical trial that I'm doing... Twice.
The first one didn't work but the second one now works sweetly. Both arms ache though.

Anyhoo, I've made a list of things I want to buy when I DO get out of this trial. And they are *drum roll* (no, wait, scrap that. Too cheesy)

Final Frontier bag by Black Friday.
It's amazing. The outer material is a satin with a print that can shoot you straight out of orbit. Drawstring with a long strap (the way I like 'em) and i'm pretty sure its a poplin lining (lightweight-ish polycotton).



Creepers
by Tuk.



Or the possibly of the sneaker version, though they just look like Dunlops that try to look like Creepers. Just like what they did with ♥Vans♥.




Um, they are the main 2 items plus the jumper from my previous post that i want to get. Anymore and I'll be sure to publish them.
I'm pretty sure I am the only person reading this post so I will just keep rambling on.

I think i dream Tertris. I've been playing it so much now that I have my own laptop. I close my eyes and I see the bricks sliding down, taking shape and fitting perfectly into the voids. Maybe I should check myself into somewhere, maybe not.

On that note, my best friend has allowed me to rent from her Mad Men. A drama depicting people, mostly men, in the advertising business during the 50's and the lives they lead. It is a show worth every second of my starry eyes. Though I do prefer comedies such as Scrubs, Arrested Development and The Mighty Boosh, and not so much dramas since they tend to lose everything and turn into soapies. This drama is one of its own (or one on its own?).

I just heard the nurses talking about Christmas shopping. Shit, I haven't done any AT ALL... Eep!
Also, also, also!! I need a hair cut and have no idea of what to get. So when I get out of this confinement, I will skip right down to Fitzroy and tell them to do what they like. I am counting down. 9 more days to go!

Very Bored

Blah blah blah, i createdthis so I can comment a picture in Robbie Baauw 's blog...
I might keep it though.


As you can see, i have an obsession with stars and whatnot, so I want this jumper, its from Lazy Oaf...those British. *shakes fist*
