I don't know what I'm getting at here.
For the first time I can remember, I’m writing up my work availabilities without having to consider the schedules of other people (read: boy). There’s nobody around to influence my dietary choices. I could become vegan, without having to worry about repercussions for the people around me (read: you know the drill).
It’s impressive how much another person can influence your...

Twitter poetry!
There’s this app on the internet that makes mash-ups of your old tweets. I found this very useful for making obscure and vaguely retarded poetry…observe:
Even with business suits in the snow,
We are all whittling our clothes to ice.
Yay, white powder!
It makes me hyper off my heart and happy ivory.
Actually, scratch that.
Happiness is confronting and stuff.
Clearly the boys love me for my social grace.
Partydude: Here, put your number in my phone.
Me: Why?
Him: ...Nevermind.
Why is Benedict Cumberbatch so popular on the...
Does this mean I actually have to watch Sherlock?
Tetris?
Yesterday I was kind of tuned out and playing Tetris, and eventually found my score at 257 lines completed. Usually I barely get past 100, so that’s a bit of a personal best.
But when I wanted to start a new game to kill even more time, I sort of asked myself what was the point. I wasn’t ever going to do better than those 257 lines, and trying again would be futile because it would...

Body image is stupid, why does it even exist.
To sell things, mostly.
Seems legit. I made it til high school with no self-image problems, until I noticed everyone around me having them and they were so much thinner/prettier/whatever than me, so I began to worry about those things. Stupid social pressure.

Bought my boyfriend a My Little Pony toy for Christmas (as well as a pair of Levi’s he chose).
Best gift ever? I think so.
Best girlfriend ever? Debatable.
1pm?
I’m still in my pyjamas, eating all of the food and watching Ghost World.
Has my life become depressing? Probably.
Why I don't talk about being vegetarian.
Also, yes, shock-horror. I am a vegetarian, and I have been for three years now. Unless I’m cornered into an awkward food-related arrangement, it’s not something I tend to open with when talking to people. This is because it tends to inevitably lead to the question of “So, why are you a vegetarian, Alice?”
In conversation, there are rarely things that I am hesitant to talk...
“Hmm, I have so many dresses. I should probably pack some away or get rid of them, or something. OR I could go look at/buy more dresses off eBay!”

Biological Rapture: Ugh. →
I pretty much refuse to own an SLR. I don’t really know what kind of “real” digital camera I’ll get, but…eh. I’ll sort it out later. But you can totally do it if you want! I don’t know how I’ll get people to do it/make a success…I’m not really assertive enough to advertise it on Facebook, and nobody reads my tumblr/wordpress anyway.
Biological Rapture: Ugh. →
I had a good search through the interwebs this evening, and I feel like there was nothing that was really worth actually doing, let alone paying money for. It seemed to be 100% THIS BUTTON THIS DOES THIS etc., which is kind of irrelevent. You can learn all of that theory rubbish on the Wikipedia or an instruction manual, completely free of the cost. The only one I’d actually want to do is a...
Ugh.
So I’ve spent most of my evening looking up photography courses in Brisbane watching Little Miss Sunshine, and I am frustrated by the sheer lack of decent courses there seem to be. They’re all “THIS IS HOW YOU USE AN SLR CAMERA”. Well I don’t have one, jerks.
So then I thought, why not just try and design my own course? One that has an equal blend of technological...
Yesterday I wrote a story about a girl who only read one book her entire life, word by word, until she got old and realised she wouldn’t finish the book before she died. So she panicked and finished the book instead, and then had nothing left.
When did I become so depressing?

As of today, my hair will be red again. Really excited, guys!
So I want to make a blog.
Again.
This time I may legitimately do it…INTERNET HELP ME WHAT IS MY PROBLEM.
(Also: I promise that from now on my posts will be more interesting).
So I started watching Gossip Girl this week…dear lord what has happened to my life.
Ugh.
Trying to teach myself to sew on the internet with a piece of paper, not fabric. I’ll never be an adult.

I think I need help.
So I didn’t sort out my crap this week as well as I had hoped. I am however doing a photo project where I take half-frame B&W shots of my friends, kind of like mug shots. So that’s nice I guess.
I kind of want to make a Facebook album of all the lomography photos that I like, but I doubt anyone will actually care about my old-school film and lack of skill.
LOOK MADDIE I'M BLOGGING.
Yep. So after a full weekend, I am exhausted. The only things I didn’t cross of my page-long list of things to do were…
1. Read through articulation & phonology notes.
2. Can I tax?
The latter of which I have written “LOL NO” next to…Golly I love being an adult.
I had it in my head that I’d be able to pen down a super interesting post and everything...

On a more positive note, earlier on in the night, I saw a guy playing guitar at an outside restaurant, and he played Bright Eyes. I wanted to give him money, or high-five him or something. Or perhaps become his best friend.
Those are the best people. Once there was a guy singing At the Bottom of Everything outside the central station, so my friend and I jumped in and sang along with...
There seems to be some universal rule about rolls of film, in which they run out 1 shot before you’re about to take a super radtastic awesome photo and yet when you want to use the roll up and finally developed, the film is endless.
In other news, I took a self-portrait involving a (potentially) poisonous flower in my mouth, and now I may die.
So after a report, presentation, and hellish exam, I am going to spend as much of my weekend as I can neglecting study. Which probably means all of the internet ever. And I feel like blogging right now, so here’s a list.
No Children by The Mountain Goats is a brilliant song.
I saw Submarine with a bunch of lovely people last night, and it was one of the most fun things I’ve done in...

First I was having a uni-related freakout, but now it’s just general female insanity.
Internet, which one is worse!?
