Hey. I'm growing back my eyebrows. I think they've gotten progressively thinner over the years and in order to redesign their shape, I'm going to have to start from scratch. I realise I could look hideous in the time being but I'm willing to brave it.

I'm in the midst of trying to fully articulate what it is I want. I have to stop settling for ( Read more... )

Here are my xmas party pics. Our work sure knows how to throw a party. There were oversized mirror balls hanging from the ceilings, poker tables, roulette wheels, Dean Geyer (3rd runner-up in the Australian Idol competition), good food, a photographer (who caught me on arrival and since I'd turned up alone, asked me to pose by myself for a photo.

I thought I was done with Christmas shopping. Turns out I've got more to do. The FPC Glitz & Glamour Christmas Party is tomorrow night and we've all been granted an early mark with which to preen ourselves for the big event. I'll be wearing a black dress. Wow, I'm dead serious when I say I can't elaborate on that. I'm rather hopeless when it comes ( Read more... )

Yesterday Dan and I played a hand at babysitting this little girl whose nana lives in the building beside ours. She is adorable. Easily the cutest kid I know, alongside my niece, Paz. She's five and has big green eyes; her favourite fruit are green grapes and her movie of choice, Finding Nemo. We asked her a number of questions and every answer ( Read more... )

I just wrote an entire entry about how I went Christmas shopping today and that I'm tired and that I enjoyed buying gifts for the people in my life and how today's spending spree brought to mind the fact that I don't think I'm as much of a tight ass as I used to be. That I got a massage after shopping and it was superb. The Chinese do amazing ( Read more... )

Getting an encouragement award at school was always tinged with a reminder of your mediocrity. Enouragement translates to 'Not first'. I guess it's a step up from those 'participation' awards though. Those were a real kick in the nuts. Similar to the 'good effort' stickers I remember getting in kindergarten or it could have been Year 2. Times are a ( Read more... )

I'm craving a digital piano. Their starting price is around a grand. And can be paid in instalments. Tonight I spent roughly an hour singing Rod Stewart's greatest hits with my mum. We laugh at each other when we don't know the words. I have a new dream to work towards. I want to someday work at the Oprah magazine in NY. I figure working in media ( Read more... )

I miss being melancholy. Melancholic? Whatev. I find it makes for a more interesting person. Or at least, gives them more interesting things to say. I think I often bring up the weather when talking to strangers. Why is the state of the sky all I can ever seem to muster? Nice day, huh? The rain's really coming down, isn't it? It's so lame. I had ( Read more... )

I went to a party last night! Wow. It was so much fun and I bought myself a bottle of cheap champagne and drank half of it. I danced and sang. I met a lovely boy named Rico who thought Dan was the hottest thing since Fabio. We played drinking games. Had a sing-a-long towards the end of the night when Dan's school mate arrived and picked up this ( Read more... )

Today I had some big thoughts. After slowly making my way through my Zen and Frankie mags, it occurred to me that I want to be writing important stories some day. Or at the very least, editing someone else's important stories. I think about the young woman that started her own media company Paper Tiger Media Group and it suddenly flooded me with ( Read more... )
