Soft to touch

When I went to Nick's house to pat his cat, Tiger, "borrow" his grey snood, eat his Tim Tams and then go for a Noggi run.. I LOVE THESE SOCKS. So comfy on my feet, oh man, and they go higher up than the rest of my socks. So much elasticky, grey marle goodness.

Food diary

It appears that all I've really done since I've gone is gone out for dinner at restaurants around Canley Heights, Maccas/froyo/Krispy Kreme runs, freak out about exams/nothing important, gone through highs and lows (I don't even remember why anymore), claimed by boyfriend's snood as my own (hehe), ran my last ever school cross country and came 7th, joint-hosted a scavenger hunt at school, er and that's actually all I can recall. Actually, the other night I was reading through my old blog posts back from 09/10, and I'm so glad I had a blog then; remembered so much I'd completely forgotten about, and stumbled across my Project Day Zero list that I'd abandoned after a few months. Funnily enough, my list finishes in August this year, and when I read through it, I'm actually pretty amazed at the things I was able to cross off that I'd previously thought I wouldn't really do (and yes, some are REALLY dumb and embarrassing to look back on, but come on, I was in year 9):

#002 Go out partly/fully dressed in pjs.
#010 Lie on the ground and watch the clouds pass by with people I love.
#014 Give a friend an anonymous [birthday] present.
#016 Suprise a friend with a [birthday] present.
#029 Obtain a polaroid photo.
#036 Get a pair of heels.
#047 Sleep under the stars.
#050 Attend Rice Rally.
#076 Get two piercings.
#082 Create an FB account.
#089 Get a new camera.
#093 Take a photo and apply for Lookbook.nu.
#097 Volunteer work or community service.
#098 Learn CPR.

It was nice to realise that I'd actually gotten things done over these past couple years, and that some things on that list have become a norm for me: go out (to tutor) wearing pyjama shorts, deliver anonymous surprise birthday presents, take photos on my Instax, blah blah blah. 

Small comforts

Last week I went to Vivian's house and saw her new room, and it was so so nice! New bed, bedside table and bookshelf all from Ikea, and even though it was so simple, everything looked so nice and all I've been thinking about lately is how much I'd want to renovate and redecorate my room. Right now, my room is an awful hurricane of clothes, shoes, textbooks and papers on my bed, on top of my drawers, on the floor.. I think my only purchases these holidays is just sleepwear that I've tried to double up as casual wear: a pair of navy, satin shorts and American flag shorts. I didn't even buy the flag shorts, but my brother had to use up his staff credit so told me to tell him if I wanted anything, woo! :D School resumes in a couple of days, which means I'll probably be posting less, right? Maybe I should just have smaller, more frequent posts like these, with less photos and text, hmm.

We can't keep running

Dotti jumper, Cotton On Body lace shorts, Sportsgirl clutch and nail polish, rose quartz bracelet from temple 

I finally went shopping this week, and (unexpectedly) saw a rip-off of the DV shoes I wanted for $30 AND OUT OF MY SIZE. I hate it when this happens, I wish I never saw them on sale. :( But to comfort myself, I don't even know where I'd wear them to, especially without looking like a lanky giant with huge shoes and oddly long legs. Urghh holidays are over in around a week's time and I feel like I haven't done anything. But at least we come back on Tuesday and there's a public holiday on Wednesday. REALLY gotta start picking up my game, wah.

In the middle

For the past 2 days, Sydney weather has gotten pretty chilly even though the sun's out, which means: a) perfect excuse to buy more socks and thick, chunky knits and b) perfect weather for huddling under layers of blankets on the sofa bed. I love the idea of wearing fat, warm knitted jumpers over silky lace shorts, and cute socks with loafers. And I think it's actually time I actually went out for some shopping, it feels like ages since I went out to places other than the library and tutor! :(

Come closer

Things I'm in love with right now: minty shades of green-blue, teamed with fluorescent yellow and gold jewellery, and wearing scrunched socks and boots. Can something be bright and pastel at the same time? I don't know how this came about but right now, I'm obsessed with wearing pastels/nudes and brights, with flashes of gold here and there. Don't know if this is just a phase I'm going through (that will probably come back to embarrass me) or..

Stuff I bought/got during exams: new NYX blushes off Cherry Culture, Sportsgirl crocodile clutch (that I saw Willabelle from Pale Division wear, ahh), Sportsgirl Nail It! nail polish in Iceberg, cookies and cream flavoured Panda Pocky, 5 new pairs of socks (for $3! Socks that were already insanely cheap + $2 extra change from the sales assistant, hehe), and new embroidery floss and other bits and bobs for making friendship bracelets. Annddddd, I *FINALLY* got my conch pierced! (Picture here) I'm pretty sure I've annoyed everyone I know about it, but I still can't believe it. After whining to my parents after every exam period, Christmas and birthday and being the goody two shoes I am, I finally got the okay from my parents (i.e. annoyed them to the extent of letting me) and got it done. YAYYYY ^___^ Happy Easter everyone!
