I just watched Back to the Future; I haven't seen that film in years. It's so brilliant. Though I prefer the second one I think. The one with the hover boards ( Read more... )

I have fallen in love with Lars and the Real Girl. If you haven't seen this movie, do so immediately. I bought it on a whim yesterday mainly because it has Ryan Gosling in it and it is so heartachingly good. Lars is this sweet, awkward guy who has been unloved for so long that he can't relate to people anymore and falls in love with a sex doll. It' ( Read more... )

How strange that, whether love comes or love goes, all thought of food disappears. Lucky that, sometimes, love stays else we would all starve to death.

That quote is from The Good Mayor by Andrew Nicoll, the book I am currently reading, and it really stuck with me. This novel is quickly becoming my favourite for the year; it's so eloquent and ( Read more... )

I had a fight with mum. She antagonised me, I snapped, she wouldn't accept it, I cracked the shits at the relatives which I admit I shouldn't have done. Surprisingly, Aunty Vi is on my side. I hate knowing what my faults are. I hate knowing that I can be judgemental and arrogant and won't back down when I really should. But I hate that my mother ( Read more... )

If we were together, me and you, every Thursday night after work I would walk to my car, drive to your place and wait in your room for you to get home. Some nights I'd be curled up reading, others you'd walk in to find I've fallen asleep. You'd lay down beside me and whisper hello into my ear and I'd wake with a smile on my face.

I would wear that ( Read more... )

God, I just gorged myself on Chinese takeaway. Breathing has become a difficult task.

I saw the most unbelievable thing on my way home from the Chinese restaurant. I'm driving through town when I see Beard Guy strolling along the footpath in a dinner suit. Still wearing his baseball cap. I mean, what a sight! Beard Guy looking very handsome in ( Read more... )

I had my first major spider incident with my car tonight. It was nearly 9:30pm and I was pulling into a gas station to clean my windshield because it was covered in some sort of sticky crap when I had a goddamn massive huntsman scuttle across the windshield. The fucker was bigger than my hand. After much flapping uselessly, I found a guy who would ( Read more... )

I finally got my hair done today. It looks fabulous; Kylie does it perfectly and styles it better than I ever could. I love it when it's so dark and shiny and the blonde bits are almost white ( Read more... )

Beard Guy has a beard again! Everything is right in the world ( Read more... )

These holidays are going far too fast. I've never been so consistently busy during a break before. I'm working 4 days a week and spending every spare moment with Jen and Caitlin or doing things I've been meaning to do like clean out the bathroom cupboards. I've had hardly any time for myself! I still want to hang with Gemma, Jess and Lisa, it's ( Read more... )
