i am obsessed with the collars on lover dresses such as this!

dress envy!

fight the fighters, not their wars

avoid the trouble makers, the immature problem-makers

search for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self control

love

When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But it is!  (captain corelli's mandolin)

 

 

one down and three point six, tomorrow and i'm out of here!

i can't wait for the summer! i want uni to be over! i'm looking forward to beach time and long adventure walks and reading all the books on my book club reading list and making clothes and craft and shopping for gifts and christmas dinner parties and christmas cards!X

camera obscura are my most favourite ever and they are touring in january i am so excited!

hypnotism nasa style

the photo above is from nasa - isn't it brilliant!


also... I'm very excited because I bought the where the wild things are soundtrack and karen o has done a cover of my favourite daniel johnston song 'worried shoes'. bliss. i'm a little bit too excited about seeing the movie, it's true.

also... edward and i bought me a present yesterday, something i've been lusting over for such a long long time the verameat heart ring from incu. it's pretty much perfect!

to study like a 17 year old

i have spent the day working on my group assignment for uni, while my sister is studying for the hsc.  we are equally distracted by pop tarts, top models and the delightfully fluffy and cute bunnies that hop around our back garden.

edward took me out to becasse for their 'heroes and masters' degustation. it was super fun, we dressed up and had lots of delicious food and wine. my favourite was the mulloway on white chocolate puree with lime and lemongrass in a dish that we had to 'paint on' to get our ideal mixture of sweet and sour/bitter. soooooooooooo great. i took a quick photo. love.

to not freak out, but to enjoy the lovely things

it's sunday morning and i've already spent 4 hours on cad drawing up elevations of existing site buildings for final presentation! i'm a little worried because we only have 2 weeks left of term and i have to also do two semester long essays - 45,000 words! i keep telling myself that it is my choice to be at uni so i should make the most of it... but, that doesn't really help! not long left now though, hopefully. the thought of summer days and balmy nights is getting me through!

yesterday boy bought me the new sufjan album. it's lovelllllly. sigh.

today i'm going out for one of the sydney food festival lunches at a romantic resteraunt in crowsnest. very exciting.

dear catastrophe girlfriend

yesterday i bought the new frankie and lula, something i look forward to. so pretty. it makes me want to dye my hair red!

i also bought the new tegan and sara! ...but am disappointed by the new tegan and sara... it's missing something... i still love them though.

and last night after a busy day at uni i had dins with boy and his parents and grandparents at our local and favourite chinese resteraunt. very fun, they are so nice and the food was yummy.

to be fascinating - oscar wilde

There are only two kinds of
people who are really fascinating:
people who know absolutely everything,
and people who know absolutely nothing.
~ Oscar Wilde

to be alone wth you

"Sufjan's other interests include graphic design, painting, running, knitting, crocheting, weaving, quilting, cleaning, photography, haircutting, and dry wall installation. He collects stamps and wheat pennies. He cooks legendary omelets and can whip up a sushi feast at the drop of a sake glass. In high school he played second string guard on a district champion basketball team and created his own language, now spoken by only two other people. His brother Marzuki is a nationally recognized marathon runner, elite status. His sister Djohariah has the most complicated, most whimsical, most monumental laugh in all of mankind."

to be vulnerable

love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements.lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. to love is to be vulnerable."
