je veux ton amour; et je veux ton revenge

i think everyone should do something they're uncomfortable with at least every month. thats why i'm trying to be more honest with people. thats not to say usually im a liar, but im fairly aware of people and i wont tell them the truth if it will hurt them or make them mad.

no

thats still not right


anyyyyway the point is that something ELSE i happen to be uncomfortable with is being away from my family for a long time. to counteract that...im in france. thats right, paris, france, europe. i have my camera so prepare for regular pictorial updates in the near future.

while you're waiting check out this blog. its another one of my friends, that seems to be a running trend, plugging my friends, but theyre just a very talented bunch!
anyway its back to work for me...more being in france. its a tough life but someone has to do it

tell you a secret? i love lady gaga

EDIT// at a later date.  i can spell, french keyboards are a bitch. dont judge me.

i like exactly nothing today

I'm in one of those weird in between places. At times like these, the only thing I know that I can rely on to make me feel better is my ipod, fattening food and sleeping. Since I shouldn't have to advocate sleeping and fattening food NOT GOOD KIDDIES, the only vaguely healthy option is music. and my goodness it is wonderful.
last fm is basically my new god for discovering new music.
at a push, music map isn't too bad either. the most important part is talking to people! if you have similar taste to your friends, chances are you'll like their reccomendations.

Teenage Celebrities

I'm always interested in the rich and famous' "embarrassing" teenage photos, but judging by Courtney Cox-Arquette and Gwyneth Paltrow, they have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Courtney has really beautiful eyes which I never noticed before, and her hair is indeed somewhat akin to my own. She looks really sweet, I'm really jealous.

Oh my god though, Oh. My. God. she's a stunner. I had honestly never considered Gwyneth Paltrow that attractive but here; maybe it's the grainy photograph that gives it a cool rockstar vibe; but she looks incredible. Definitely "the girl most likely" to have everyone want to be her friend.

I just pray that one day when I'm rich and famous nobody will go looking for my high school photos. That could be awkward. I better start taking nice pictures...

i love shopping :)

bought this:

Almost famous. $70 at rip curl.

I kinda can't believe I bought it. I don't do surf wear...ever.
ever ever.
Still, she's rather sweet.
In other news, my exams are rather soon. I should really get on that...
I hope you had a good Melbourne Cup Day! Or if you're not big on the gambling, enjoyed the day off!

ex oh ex oh

I just spent an amazing weekend in Torquay discussing surfing. I say discussing because we actually failed in entering the sea. Louisa and I lay in the spa until we were wrinkly like little prunes and gasping for cool air instead of actually breathing in some cool air. You know...like...in the sea...(I'm still undecided whether using my friend's names is an invasion of privacy or not, for now I'll go with not.)


Now I'm home and gosh I want to watch skins. I'm not about to plug it to you because you should already know. If you don't I may have to kill you. No no I wanted to talk about Luke Pasqualino. Which look...might be vaguely related to skins. But my main point is the boy is fine.

If you're really lost I'll explain. Luke plays Freddie in Season 3(and 4!!) of skins...the cool stoner skater adorable boy that Effy is vaguely interested in.
Well I'm very interested so if he gets sick of chasing her....

There's a really beautiful scene in one episode where they swim toward each other and...ok stop talking...enough...brain stop working...just look and appreciate

One day he'll realise what he's missing from his life and we'll be wed.


Yeah sure. Fairly sure after you get to kiss Kaya Scodelario there's no going back.


I'm jealous. Of them both.

inquisitive and thoughtful, she was the challenge he'd been waiting for

I love summer.
It's these days before the heat kicks in; when its ok to wear stupid flimsy dresses and shorts but also ok to wear jeans or skirts with pretty thick tights; when i can still go outside without fearing for my skin; when I fall in love with Melbourne again.
I don't think everyone really appreciates just how lucky Melburnians are to have the city we have. But I digress.
What I love about summer especially, is the communal nature of it. I mean think for a second; summer...barbecues, outdoor games, seeing friends, picnicking; these are all communal activities. And you know what else is a communal activity? Festivals!
Oh yes my lovelies, festival season is here again! And in Australia we sure have alot of choice.
Big Day Out is just around the corner( and  much to my chagrin, very sold out) with Muse headlining this year...I can hardly contain myself. There are 4500 tickets still to be allocated by ballot though; panique pas!
And BDO will be followed( and preceded ) by the Laneway Festival, Meredith, Good Vibrations, Pyramid, and countless others( including a particular favourite of mine, Pushover).

Alice Burdeu is 8cm taller than me

What a bitch. Seriously, all I have to do is grow 8cm(and ok drop 2 dress sizes) and i'll basically be her.
Orrrrr...maybe not quite. We have vaguely similar hair colour/texture and I'm at least as white as her, and I'm Melburnian. But that in all honesty, that is truly where the similarities end.
What I would give to be somewhat akin to her though. She really is stunning; one of the most succesful Australian exports at this stage. If you don't know who she is( have you been living under a rock?) I'll forgive you and begin your education. Alice was the winner of Australia's version of Next Top Model in 2007 and has since gone on to be a huge success in Europe. While she was on the show, she was attacked for being underweight but thats beside the point. Ok so maybe she's not the best role model for health, but the girl can stand still and look pretty like she's asked to. Her height ranges throughout the internet, varying bizarely from 5'10" to 6'1", so maybe she's more than 8cm taller than me, I don't know.

I don't know what it is, but there is really something about her
