Drunk and I am seeing stars

Hey dolls!

Hope you're all doing well!

I've been stuck in the house for the last week because I got my tonsils out, which totally and completely sucked. The operation in itself wasn't that bad, but the recovery, not going to lie, has been horrible. The first few days I was like "pfft, this isn't even bad, what's everyone going on about? I AM INVINCIBLE!". But after maybe 5 days, the pain kicked in. And oh my word, when I'm trying to eat, it is agonising. I'm basically starving because even the thought of trying to swallow scares me, then when I feel like I'm going to die because I'm so hungry and I finally cave in and go to eat, I take one bite and it feels like razor blades are going down my throat and getting stuck there. The pain brings tears to my eyes, I end up bawling my eyes out and not eating anything. And still being starving. I'm so over this. It's ridiculous.

I've been stuck at home for a week as I can't risk going outside, as I am more likely to catch a disease and make my condition worse. However, today I'd had enough of being stuck inside, in my pyjamas for a week so Mum and I ventured out to buy some new bed covers for my brand new double bed (big girl bed, yayyyy!).

Getting to finally put some makeup on and wear actual clothing... you would not believe how much better it made me feel. Here's a few pictures of what I wore :) Pretty casual but it wasn't exactly an exciting day.

 So hopefully I'll be better soon and can eat properly and wear proper clothes every day... that would be nice. Because I'm going crazy here!!

Single Awareness Day

Alright, so I didn’t want to be the annoying girl raining on everyone’s parade on Valentine’s day, but you know me, I can’t keep my mouth shut, here I go.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT YOUR BOYFRIEND GOT YOU FOR VALENTINES DAY.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH, chocolate, flowers and a teddy. How original. He must really love you. Oh wait, he just wants to get laid tonight. He looked in the Valentine’s day handbook and followed the rules. He’s made you happy. Now it’s his turn. Girls, you’d better give him what he wants tonight because the poor guy is just doing the best he can on this poor excuse of a “special day”. I’m joking. Kind of.

Is Valentine’s day even a real holiday? No. Are we excused from school and from work? No. Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday designed TO MAKE MONEY!

WHAT IN THE GREAT ODEN’S RAVEN IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE “LOVE OF YOUR LIFE” BUYING YOU THE SAME THING AS EVERY OTHER NON-SINGLE GIRL IN THE WORLD?

I mean for God’s sake. I’m single and I’m happy being single. I’m not the bitter single girl.  Not saying I’m anti-relationship or anything! I would be equally happy in a relationship. But even if I WAS in a committed relationship, I would still hate Valentine’s day just as much. I’d like for my boyfriend and I to treat it just like any other day. Sure, we’ll go out on a date and have some fun. But he’d better not buy me flowers and chocolate and a teddy. I swear. Or I will actually hit someone. If he’s gonna buy me something, it had better be something thoughtful. Something sentimental that means something to me.

I always say I would rather have my boyfriend surprise me on a day that’s totally random. Have him spontaneously rock up at my house with pizza and my favourite ice cream and be like “Hey baby, I bought us tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys. Surprise! Let’s go.” That would make me so unbelievably happy because it’s THOUGHTFUL.

Also, Valentine’s day is one day out of an entire year. I wouldn’t want to have to remind my boyfriend to do something nice and special for me. Or expect it just one day. He shouldn’t need just one day (the same day as everyone else) to tell me and show me how much he loves me. That should be every day. Anniversaries are special. Those are the days where he can go all out. Because that’s between just me and him, not the entire world.

And one more note. Facebook. If I see one more girl posting a photo on Facebook of what her boyfriend got her today, and rubbing it in the faces of all the single girls who are posting pathetic statuses about it being “single awareness day” and wanting cuddles because they’re forever alone… I will go postal. Seriously I will rage. Girls writing statuses about this: you are single for a reason. STOP moping about not having a boyfriend! It is not the most important thing in the world! Yeah, relationships are great, but being single is great too! Have a little self respect and learn to love yourself, then maybe someone can learn to love you.

So I’m posting this before even reading it through and editing it. I’m sorry if it doesn’t make a lot of sense, I’ve just gotta get it off my chest before I go insane.

And to all the couples spending a nice night together that ARE NOT telling the entire world about it, that have given each other thoughtful gifts and are just perfectly content spending time with each other… I commend you. Thank you. And to all the single girls out there that really don’t care at all about Valentine’s day? I like you. Let’s be friends.

Good day.

This is how an angel cries, I blame it on my own sick pride

Sup homie g's?

Thought I'd throw in an outfit post as- big whoop di do- I've been neglecting my blog. It's just... my life is really not all that interesting hahaha :P Trying to socialise as much as possible before I get my tonsils out on the 9th of February- eek! Not looking forward to it at all!!

Wore this outfit out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant with a dear friend I haven't seen in a while. In Perth everywhere is pretty casual haha but I'm a freak and have to wear heels every single time I go out past 4pm... So I dressed them down. Still get death stares though. Oh well, I wear what I want to wear and if people don't like that, that's their problem!
Don't be hatin coz you jelly ;)

Happy New Years!

Well hello 2012!!

Happy New Years to everyone! I spent the day at the Perth Cup, with full intentions of acting classy and watching the horse races... instead my highly drunk self sat in the shade eating a chicken burger and texting numerous people... Oh, and I got quite sunburnt on my back! Totally should have slipped, slopped and slapped.
Afterwards we headed out into a club in the city where we danced and partied until midnight. Was a good, kinda crazy day and night! Here's a few snaps of what I was wearing and how I did my hair and makeup.

Dress: Ally

Hope you all had a fabulous night! Remember that what's in the past is in the past, we can't change what's happened but we can always make fresh starts... providing we don't all die in 2012 ;)

Here's to the new year!

Grey weather and outfit

Big hello to my beautiful people!!

FINALLY an outfit post! I know I haven't done one in so long... I think "ugh, it's so hard to take photos by myself" but then as soon as I do it, I think "Oh hey, that wasn't hard... I should do this more...". Silly me. Didn't put a whole heap of thought into my outfit today... it's grey and gloomy outside and coincidentally I picked an outfit that matched the sky hahaha. Went out with a friend and did some of my Christmas shopping! I hope all of you are having a lovely day :)

Also, EXCITING NEWS! After stalking the lookbook.nu website religiously for probably the last year, I have finally signed up!! If you have an account, would mean the world to me if you hyped my looks and fanned me! Considering at the moment I have 0 hypes and 0 fans... hahaha :P
I'm not expecting to get heaps of traffic on the site at all... just thought it would be fun to finally sign up and show my support to all of the bloggers on there that I love... and I thought I might as well post some looks on there as well :)

This is the link to my Lookbook.nu profile:

Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season!

Disgusted...

If you know me well, you'd know I'm pretty passionate about gay rights. While I myself am straight, I have gay family members and tons of gay friends (generally pretty normal when you're doing a Performance degree in uni!!) so I've grown up knowing that there's nothing wrong with being gay, and that you should be comfortable with your sexuality.

However, sadly, there are a lot of people that don't think this way due to religious beliefs and basically just plain ignorance! Instead, they grow up with the belief that homosexuality is a choice, that they will go to hell for being gay, and that they do not deserve equal rights.

For those ignorant people that have not taken the time to get to know anyone gay, let me enlighten you...

1) Being gay is NOT a choice!! You would have to be living under a rock to not realise how much discrimination gay people experience. Why on earth would ANYONE willingly choose to be gay and experience all of this? I have gay friends that have struggled with "coming out" for years and years and years because they've wanted their feelings to go away and are scared as to what other people might think!

2) They are not freaks, and there is nothing wrong with them!!!  I have a few straight friends who have been straight their entire lives, and then found themselves attracted to someone of the same sex, but noone else of the same sex, just that one person. That does not make them gay. We do not fall in love with boys or girls, we fall in love with people. Why is that such a crime? They cannot be expected to turn their feelings off, or just become straight. It's how they are, and even if they want to, they can't just change.

3) They are not all the same! TV shows and films tend to represent them all in the same way... as flamboyant, materialistic, loud and often obnoxious. I have gay friends who you would never guess were gay until they told you. Conversely, I have flamboyant gay friends who you can see are obviously gay, without them even speaking a word to you. I have gay friends that love shopping, I have gay friends that hate shopping. I have gay friends that love Xbox games and sports.

4) Most gay guys are not going to target straight males. This is for all ignorant straight guys that think "oh, these faggots are gonna try and anal me when I'm not looking"... They can generally tell a straight guy from a gay guy, and they're obviously not going to target you if you're straight. They're not all just out for sex.

And, even if you do know all this and still are homophobic or "hate all gay people", this DOES NOT give you the right to torment them, tease them and make their lives miserable!
I saw a play earlier this year called 'The Laramie Project' which was based on a true story about a gay teenager in Wyoming who was tortured and KILLED at the age of 15 for being gay!
These two videos have also made me emotional because I feel so terrible for gay teenagers and kids that have to deal with ignorant people bullying them and sometimes even making them think that suicide is the only way out.

I have to go now, dinner's on the table, but seriously! Leave them alone! Watch what you say because words hurt! And if you have a problem with someone about something THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!!

We are disposable teens

Hey hey!

So today I thought I'd do my interpretation of Marilyn Manson's makeup... Now, he has lots of different looks and I couldn't really pick just one so I've sorta combined a few together and this is what I've come up with! Was so much easier than I thought!

And I know it's not brilliant, but I think I did pretty good for a first try :)

Let me know what you think!
