Happy Weekend! xx

I heart naps.

via this is my heart. it is a good heart.& weheartit

look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me

But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

Rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

When I saw Geneviève I really liked it when she said
What she said about the giant and the lemmings on the cliff
She said 'I like giants
Especially girl giants
Cause all girls feel too big sometimes
Regardless of their size'

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes
And I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl
And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole

So I swim for all salvation and I swim to save my soul
But my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado
So I flip to my back and I float and I sing
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

So I talked to Geneviève and almost cried when she said
That the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead
And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead
So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead

When she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead
It made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head
So thank you Geneviève, cause you take what is in your head
And you make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends

We all become important when we realize our goal
Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole
And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
And I don't wanna make her cry
Cause I like giants

a hazy shade of winter

dark nail polish, peppermint tea, simon & garfunkel, french films, chilly mornings tucked up in bed, avocado on toast, Jeremy's hot chocolates, wooly scalves, leather jackets, late nights, coffee dates, reading books til the wee hours of the morning, watching gossip girl - snuggled in bed with Jem & Jeremy, late night chocolate runs ...waiting for the snow ☮

Tag.

I got tagged by Cookie-Fee at Dreamy Fairytale.

The Show Your Heart Tag.
Rules... With as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in: 1 picture, 1 poem, 1 song or piece of music, 1 phrase or quote, 1 piece of clothing, 1 place and (just for fun) 1 disney princess...but just to let you know, I am a very fickle person and although I may absolutely love the following things, these are some of my favourite things right now, I come across new 'favourites' all the time...but this is me now :)

1 picture- I was flicking through some photos of this year and I can across this one. It of me and 3 or my house mates at a college 'Cartoon' themed ball...we were, if you couldnt tell, four of the 101 Dalmations, hehe, it was so much fun, and I love how this pic came out!

1 poem- my favourite form of poetry is lyrical, so my poem is actually from a song...I Remember by Whitley

I remember when I saw you,

You were dancing, you were dancing,

I followed you to the next bar,

It was a long drive, it was a long drive,

I did not mind I was taken by you,

I felt something, I felt something,

You did not mind you were taken by me,

We felt something, We felt Something.

Lately I've been feeling like this could last forever,

This could last forever.

I remember The black sky streaking

It was so cold, it was so cold,

You held my hand, and said you loved me,

I felt something, I felt something,

I remember six years,

It was a long time, it was a long time,

I did not mind I was taken by you,

I felt something, I felt something.

Lately I've been feeling like this could last forever,

This could last forever.

1 song- Blues Run the Game- Simon & Garfunkel....(oh, and Left on the Bed by Big Japan....I cant stick to one, I'm sooo bad)

1 quote - I have two faves right now.

1. Unless it is mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life—love should not be one of them. -Unknown

2. For God did not give us the spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-dicipline. - 2 Timothy 1:7 -The Bible



1 piece of clothing - my new leather jacket...the love of my life!
1 place - about 5 minutes from my home town is this beautiful place, it consists of rivers and streams, mountains and pretty fields but this little, old church is my favourite part of Gleniffer...

1 disney princess - I love Princess Giselle, I love how neive and dreamy she is, she kinda reminds me of one of my best friends, haha :)

it's all peaches & cream to me

I love the colours in these two photos xx

Simon, Garfunkel & pink sugar stars.

Today has been a rather pleasant day. It started with a yummy breakfast with my beautiful friend Jess, we went to a funky little cafe on the main street, I had avocado, mushrooms & ricotta on wholemeal, she had the banana bread. I then went home and said farewell to housemates Jem & Jeremy who are off for a sunshiny weekend on the Central Coast. Hollie & I then frolicked into town and I found some cute little presents for my other beautiful friend Catherine's 21st birthday (two white china tea cups, some pink sugar stars and a delicate silver chain bracelet) and I wrapped them in brown paper and string. I also found out my French family that I'm hoping to Au Pair for may actually want me and tonight, Hollie and I are going to see The Boat That Rocked, and I cant wait!!!!! I also bought my first copy of Lula magazine and its the best & prettiest $15 I've spent in a while! Oh, and I got tickets to see Simon & Garfunkel (whom I LOOOOOVE)!!!!! Things are looking rather good at the moment :)

pictures 2,3 & 6 (others are from random places) are from older issues of Lula ~ such dreamy, whimsical images, I'm in love xx ☮

leave it up to someone who knows what to do...

Today has been one of those I'll-do-anything-BUT-my-assignment day, however, instead of the usually lazy, bummy, watching- re-runs- of -Friends kinda day, I've had a stressed out, OMGosh, what- am- I- going- to -do- once- I've- finished- my -(pathetic)- arts- degree (come this June) kinda day A major freak out. So, in the midst of applying, or rather inquiring about jobs here (my uni town), there (Western Australia) and everywhere (France, Greece and Italy), I decided to just chill, let God take over and while he's busy planning my ultimate career/future, I sat back and listened to some Jazz and drank peppermint tea, pondering why I cannot make a decision regarding what I want to do with the rest of my bright, sunshiny future....

But I did find 3 things to cheer me up and they are the fact that my sister and I got tickets to SIMON & GARFUNKEL (!!!!),a really amazingly bright fuschia nail varnish and this music video, one of my favourites...
