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."
