as of late

inspiration has made me reconsider the direction i'm taking here. I feel this more becoming an actual blog than just a list of things i like; which is ok with me.
greta is giving me blog envy.

note to self: stop making all the titles sentences carried on in the first line.
so we didn't win swimming today; but we definitely won most enthusiasm..thanks to the year 12s, 11s, some 10s and literally 2 year 9s.
yay dryads!
maybe if all our bathers looked like this we might have won?

beach blanket bingo bathing suit: $89.99

kaleidoscope swimsuit: $149.99

I'm in love with the second one. Both prices are in USD though, and way out of my price range for swimsuits I'll probably be too afraid to wear into water. They come from here if you have a larger budget than me.

Happy shopping! Also, might I suggest that wherever you are, if you're in school and your school has a "house" system; get involved. Its taken me way too long and now I will only have had 2 years of spending so much time with the amazing girls. It really is the best thing ever. Just go for it.

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).
