Loathes

* Getting sick on the first day of my first holiday in years. It’s really hard to enjoy a movie when the screen is swimming from your fever.

* Wooden parrot earrings. Shudder!

* The fact that Polaroid has stopped making film. Sob!

* Paper cuts.

* Teenaged boys on bikes who will not get off the road when I drive past. Where the hell are your manners you little shits?

Loves

* Melbourne! I’m there until Sunday… and possibly back next year to live!

* Cookies and Cream ice cream.

* Resin necklaces.

* The sweet assistant in the men’s wear department in Myer who put through at least ten transactions for me today because I kept changing my mind. What a doll.

* Packing up my bedroom (my parents are selling my family home… eek!) and finding years worth of letters, cards and poems from all the amazing people in my life. It’s made me feel all warm and squishy like a hot jam donut.

And you my little chicken pot pie? What’s tickling your fancy and furrowing your brow this week?

Love Lady Smaggle

    Loathes…

    Freshmen. Seriously kids, it’s just college, calm down and SHUT UP. And stop asking ridiculous questions and then wondering why people know you’re a freshman.

    The cost of books for my classes. Oy. Seriously not okay.

    Cleaning/unpacking/organizing. I’m not a very neat person, I’m much more on the messy side, so having to organize my dorm room is only slightly annoying.

    Loves…

    The black and white wall above my desk. I’m decorating the wall above my desk with black and white pictures, prints, anything I can really! It’s turning out wicked so far.

    My Modern Poetry professor. An older British man who is hilarious and asks us if he can read “just the sexy parts” of his syllabus. Excellent.

    My Brita water pitcher. Saving the planet and giving me clean water.

    New shoes!! I bought blue flats last night for nine dollars and I’m in love.

    I hope your holiday gets better and that you feel better soon!!

    Loathes:
    – How boring the clubs were last night, I was home early just like Cinderella
    – Her own indecision about her love life… I guess that will change when the right guy comes along.
    – Waking up insanely early on a weekend morning when my body really feels like it could do with some more sleep.
    – Slack people who don’t get back to you with important information about their events and still expect you to attend. I’m a planner, goddamn it! You people should know this by now.

    Loves:
    – My mechanic
    – The fact that our sober driver had to go through four breath-testing stops on the way home last night. By the last one I was almost peeing my pants laughing
    – Grapes, they’re like little squishy tablets of tasty goodness
    – That the sky outside is sunny for once today. Time to go soak up some Vitamin D, y’all!

    Well, I similarly loathe when cars think they’re king of the road! Bike riders have just as many rights as car drivers, obviously they should be courteous and safe but when cars just want to speed past you thinking they’re more important and bikes must give way it annoys me to no end. It’s illegal to ride on the footpath.

    Though if they’re wanky teenage boys – fair enough, but bikes *are* allowed on the road! 🙂

    *GASP!* Might be moving to Melbourne TO LIVE?! Omg, we have to have a party if you do come here. (Any excuse for a party.)

    Ummm Loathes… loathes… wow, I can’t think of any! Oh! I have one. People who push in line. I had that happen to me on the weekend.. bastards..

    Loving Twitter heaps more lately. Lady, you should have a Twitter account! It’s become like a little girly gossip session in there. And homemade muesli with honey, cinnamon and almonds – droooool.

    Loathes:
    My thesis- it has taken over my life and I sound like a twat talking about it.

    Flaky, painful cuticles

    Loves:
    Kraft macoroni and cheese- Its so bad for you but tastes so good.

    The prospect of my new tattoo

    LOATHES
    my skin. it’s seriously troubled and I’m sick of its emo whinging.

    Nicole – Oh I HATE the cost of books. Especially when you buy them and never use them. Hello Discipline in Educational Settings Volume 5.

    Scribbles – I used to be so indecisive too! Until suddenly I wasn’t anymore!

    Eloise – Oh I should have been clearer! I live in a tiny little suburb where there are only 100 houses and tiny little road and the speed limit is 40kms and these kids are like thugs that think they own the road. I obviously don’t think cars are king of the road and I think bike riders do it tough. Cars hate them and so do pedestrians. It’s tough and I admire people for saving the environment and dealing with all the crap that goes with it!

    Ivy – yes my love! Tis true… pending my acceptance to this course. I would LOVE a party! I’ll make slices!

    Grant – Macaroni and cheese? Jesus that stuff is like pure salt… but hey whatever floats your boat my love!

    Bestie – Opps! Again I need to be clearer. Women wearing pink parachute tracksuits with wooden parrot earrings. Not the earrings by themselves… 🙂

    Na – I haven’t seen it yet! This weekend! I don’t want to talk about my skin either. We are not getting along very well at the moment.
