Going out of my f***ing mind!!!

11 hour work days, late, late nights, no sleep, battered & bruised, so much to think about right now. It's all my own doing but my little head is spinning....time to stop for a sec & just breathe.

These guys rock my world.

I'm a little late establishing this fact, but Passion Pit are extremely rad! For the past 4 months, they have been on repeat. Their crazy, indie/rock/electro/dance/pop style is highly addictive!

Spinning dizzily down on the floor

I have been soooo busy lately, I had a weeks hoilday in NSW for my cousins wedding (which was beautiful, despite being surrounded by relatives all weekend) But whilst I was over there I made the effort to see most of my good friends that reside on the East Coast of Aus. I was driving and having coffee for most of the week, trying to see as many people as possible. Very busy, but completely worth it.

Once I was back on the plane heading for the West Coast, ready to start my new job, I reoccured to me yet again, that I really hate change. I am pretty good when it comes to making the decision to change but I hate the actual process. My new job is so different from my old office job, its great, but I still need to adjust to the new hours and the fact that its pretty active and there is always something going on as appose to my quiet, rather boring desk job (which I will be glad to be rid of completely in a couple of weeks). I work nights now too, so my social life is rather quiet at the moment, but I'm adjusting and pretty excited for a new challenge :) I'll try and update a little more often now that things have started to settle down.

lyrics by The Killers

But the clouds are clearing up And I've come reveling Burning incandescently Like a bastard on the burning sea...

2009 was a crazy year. I moved in with 7 of my favourite friends, had the road trip of all road trips to Byron for Blues Fest, drove my little old Camry across the country, moved states, had to leave some old friends but made some lovely new ones, went overseas twice, stared a new job, hooked up with a criminal (haha) and got punched in the face for the first time! (another story for another post, hehe)....2010 however is going to be slightly more calm and a little more collected as I (finally) decided to go out and get a new job! In three weeks time I start my job as a Youth Worker at my towns's Youth & Recreation Centre! A job that hopefully, will be more active and more rewarding. So, there should not be any more posts of me complaining about my sucky office job! Yay! :) I also have made indefinite plans to visit my friend in Hong Kong later on in the year and I want to dye my hair a crazy colour!! What do you think? I can't decide which I like better.... ☮

oh, and a note to Jarrod, if he happens to be reading this: 'Yes, Jarrod. I want to dye my hair red to be more like you, it is true, you are just that cool' .

Aha shake heartbreak...

Ok. So. Funny story. Weird stuff happens when you travel. Like, for example, whilst I was rockin out in the beautiful Montreal, I met a guy who closely (not entirely, but very closely) resembled this guy above. This guy being Caleb Followill, King of Leon, himself. So, as you could imagine, when I met this amazingly rad guy that closely resembled Caleb Followill, I was in awe. Not only did he look a little similar to him but he spoke fluent French, was a musician, a poker player, had awesome tatts, knew great music when he heard it and also had an awesome sense of style. Um, can you say (very near) p e r f e c t??
He was not only all of these things, but smart, witty and instantaneously captivating. We hit it off instantly. He taught me a lot about music (what he lives for) and that you should be open to every genre instead of just your favourites, which I tend not to be. I spent a whole 2 days and 2 nights getting to know him and his rad music collection and it sucked majorly to leave the following day. We exchanged email addresses and have emailed sporadically since. However, it turned out to be a good thing that things didn't progress too much further as, apparently, he likes to steal from people on a regular basis, actually, on a more professional basis...The guy that I was absolutely smitten with is a criminal!!!! What a waste of such an awesome being! We still talk a bit but he doesn't know that I know what he does though...its actually a pretty funny story and I am always going to remember that time in Montreal when I hooked up with the French speaking, musically inclined con man!
Despite him being wanted for robbery, he is as close to a 'Caleb Followill' that I will ever get... and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with that :)

and to start the new year off on a high note, here are some more rad pics by yyellowbird @ flickr....looooove her stuff.
I Have some stories coming soooon... x x x

And maybe today I'll jump that barbed wired fence and leave this place altogether

I am really disliking being back home after travelling so much, I cant get settled. It happens every time. I am constantly agitated and fidgety and completely not able to focus. The first week back was so busy that I didn't really have time to miss being away, but things have died down and all I want to do it pick up and move. I loved being able do that, just pack up and head to a new place, a new exciting adventure waiting for me, whenever I wanted...I don't know how I'm going to adjust to a full time job with limited holidays for a whole year!!! Oh well, I'm off to the beach for the long weekend, hopefully I'll be thinking more possitively by the time I return :)

Have a Happy New Year, Peeps xxx

Home.

Wow, I have such a crazy busy week. After all the flying and travelling, I got back to mountains of paper work and and 45 degree heat. Although, this last week has been packed with Christmas parties, so it's been insanely busy but a lot of fun. I have started to plan my next adventure too :) Hope you're all having a rad time getting ready for Christmas. We have left it a little late, but I'm now off to decorate the Christmas tree...It's good to be back online :)

Oh and I am obsessed with Passion Pit and have decided to follow Kings of Leon around the world on their next tour :) x x

In the meantime...

NYC is AWESOME!!! I have had sooo much fun, wandering aimlessly through Central Park, cute winter outfits, eating at any possible time of the day or night, Wholefoods - OMGosh!!!, Sephora, the twinkly lights, oh and accidentally walking down a street and stumbling across Blake Lively filming Gossip Girl has probably been a major highlight!! I haven't been able to upload any of my own pics yet (I have taken soooooo many, but don't worry, I'll only bore you with a few) so here are some cute pics by Corinne Stoll that I found rather pretty. Chat soon & thanks for all the comments, love xx

Just a small town girl, Living in a lonely world, She took the midnight train going anywhere

Lesson of the Day(according to society, not me) : Girls and Guys cannot be 'just friends'! Apparently, watching a movie together with 2 other people in the room also watching the movie with you, translates into you sleeping with the married friend! Do people seriously have nothing better to do that fabricate completely false facts and advertise them around town???? Seriously, people of HC, GET A NEW HOBBY!!! My town is the worst for gossip, thank God, I'm outta here on Tuesday!!!! Aaaaanywaaaaay, on a much happier (& calmer) note, I did have fun this weekend! Last night, I went to two of my good friend's place for some much needed girl time & it was my last night with them before I jet off to the US. We ate tacos, watched That 70's Show re-runs and swapped stuff. We each brought along some much loved stuff that we were just a little tired with and we all swapped our stuff! It was so much fun, I came home with a new tshirt, hand bag and funky cord bracelets...I highly recommend trying it with some friends, it was a very fun night :) Hope your weekend was just as rad, if not, more :) x x x

In a tree by the brook theres a songbird who sings

I really wanna go tree climbing!!! But my week will actually entail me flying to sydney, visiting one of my best friends, dying my hair back to blonde and flying to NYC!!!! I'm sure I can find a good tree along the way :) Hope you're having a rad weekend!

It just feels so good!

... when everything in life is finally looking up, when you get a parcel in the mail from your very best friends, when you're about to head overseas, when your crazy friend visits & your parents are away & you can go motor bike riding, when it RAINS for for first time in about 8 months and when you finally decide to give up on trying to plan your life and just let everything happen in its own time... x x x :)
