“Obi Wan is like god with better weapons”
– Thomas’ sister from Skins
An extorverted introvert
I am in my element when I am alone
yet I crave the company of others.
I endlessly hunger to make new friends
and the pursuit of love is at the forefront of my mind.
To be alone in a crowd and wanted without pursuit.
To be last to arrive and first to leave.
This is my ambition;
To have eveyone but only need myself.
You don’t know HOW tempted I was to start going “to be lost in a...
Ess. Lab? More Like YEss. Lab!
I am sure you are familiar with the term “retail therapy,” the idea that buying things will make you forget about your problems. I experienced a completely different kind of retail therapy today.
It may or may not surprise you to know that I have been getting into fashion more and more over the past few months. More importantly no longer only shop for 2nd hand clothes and a decent fit...
Ouch...
Walking around in fitzroy;
raw denim skinny jeans,
dress shoes,
Joy Division Bag,
Vintage clothes in my hand,
2nd hand Alladin Sane vinyl under my arm.
This post was meant to be ironic.
I am so indie it hurts sometimes >.<

Guys!!! (Mainly people who have seen my ipod) YOU KNOW HOW my coverflow thing was always on? And I couldn’t turn it off?! And I’ve been asking everyone to try and get rid of it for like a year but it just wasn’t in the settings? I just fixed some stuff on there and it suddenly came up! So I have turned off coverflow for good :P
This is exciting shit everyone, even had to make a...

Just finished watching episode 1 of season 4 Skins! I love my friends for getting me into it, such a good show. And I was so happy to see Cook :) I don’t care guys :P I love him I love him I love him :P Anyway, I’m excited to see the rest of the season :D
Before I forget, people in Melbourne that are going to the tumblr meetup tonight, hope you all have a good time - I can’t make...
Watch
anyone in years nine or ten this year:
haaaaaaaveyoumetjehs:
lasso:
do not stress
i cannot say that enough.
people who tear their hair out over those years are silly, the stress needs to be saved for years 11 & 12! :D
seriously though, you’ll be fine.
don’t stress too heavily about year 11 either.
idk about nsw, but in vic year 11 is just passes and fails
and you only really need to worry about year 12

Yea unless...
Going down a dangerous road
I love the stimulant effects of coffee and occasionally cigarettes.
I love the burning nose sensation created by hot foods such as chilli and wasabi
I always prefered to associate with the upper middle class or, dare I say, yuppie, culture.
Basically I am fucked. I better watch myself >.>
Big Day Out
Over the past 2 days I had the Big Day Out and the Kasabian Sideshow. Overall the Big Day Out was pretty patchy but Kasabian, Muse and Groove Armada made it all worth while. Kasabian put on an amazing live show and the crowd was intesne during both their own and Big Day Out sets and I am glad I got to be at the front of the crowd for LSF twice in 24 hours. Muse were pretty good but you could see...

has anyone ever actually had a feather pillow?
jehsface:
sweetcatastrophes:
i always wanted one. but i don’t want to know that a bird suffered just so i could have a sweet pillow.
My friend had one, and she hated it, but i loved it.
Yea, I do. I thought it was common. They are great at first but flatten realy quickly. I usualy end up moving my head off the pillow and pushing it off the bed anyway.

Massive anti-climax
Got my uni offer today. Computer Science/ Software Developent at Deakin. Guess I should be happy. I don’t realy want to do IT any more but it is the only think I can think of on the lower end of the dislike spectrum that will make me money. May tranfer. Dissapointed I didn’t get into RMIT just because I am not in the city as I would have loved being in the city every day. Instead I...
Living the high life
batifolage:
I decided I’m going to be rich.
Allow me to elaborate. There’s a nice little saying going around which happens to be part of the lyrics to many songs. It goes like so: “the poor stay poor while the rich get richer”. I can’t see that changing any time soon so understandably I want to be in the rich category.
I saw a stupid little slogan on someone’s bag today that said “friends are...
My luck is turning around
On the rare occasion my jewish stinginess, my vintage fetish, my love for music and my inner techno geek worked together today. I found in a cheltenham op shop a stereo system including record palyer, tape deck and AM/FM radio complete with speakers and storage cabinet for $15 after a quite pointless trip to centrelink. I am taking it as an omen things are going to work themselves out and just fit...

I’ve been trying really hard to get myself in a depressed state of mind or rather solemn or something along those lines so I could write something deep and meaningful. But it’s not working. I’m simply to happy.
But just than it occurred to me that I think I’m approaching this from the wrong angle. I shouldn’t need to be depressed to write something deep. But that’s...
Enough about you...

I found this a verry interesting article. It bring up some great points and although the Arctic Monkeys album he speaks of holds a special place in my heart I can see (or hear rather) where he is coming from. Even though a few great albums have been ruined by this compression problem (Humbug, 4:13 Dream) I think there is a resurgence of positive sound production which is possibly a biproduct of...

Would You Pay $12 For A Cup Of Coffee? -...
“3 December 2009
Right now, definitely not. I am so broke that I will not even buy a cup at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. I am currently going through a Krispy Kreme smooth coffee phase anyway. Ask me again in a couple of months and maybe – just maybe – I would be willing to shell out $12 for a cup of coffee.
If you are located in Melbourne, though, and you have some extra money that you want...
Dark Side of The Moon
I just finished listening to this album for, shamefully, the second time and I honestly have to say I didn’t much care for it. The first half of the album I found quite indulgent like it was shouting “look at me I have a synthesiser.” The lyrics for for the msot part uninspiring and either transparently blatent or near nonsensical and the singer sounded like any other guy that...

I’m beginning to remember what it’s like to have fire in my belly. Fuck it’s been a long time coming. I’m a socialist. This means I believe in the soviet form of democracy, a system where laws are passed from the ground up, rather than having ‘representatives’ do the talking for us. This means that the will of the nation is always outworked in legislation.
Now, we...
Awesome song, Horrible lyrics.

This is a fantastic songbut the lyrics are quite stupid, realy. Their song Lion in a Coma totally beats it (protip: The song is the Titile)

The "your girldfriend is hot" nod
I don’t think it is just me but i have found that guys have an unspoken form of communication. A nod to eachother that says “your girldfriend is hot, nice job.” It is charecterised by a brief glance at the girl followed by eye contact and an almost simultaneous nod between the males. This is a gesture fo respect. We perform this nod just as a white belt would bow to his black...
