It's not you, it's me

Single, not looking. Why is this so hard to fathom? I am not interested in you, nor anyone else for that matter - not that it's any of your business. Those close to me may not completely (or even partially) understand, but at least they accept it. I shouldn't have to explain myself to a virtual stranger. Way to make the situation even more embarrassing! Bravo!

Homophobes beware!

It is only in still water that you can see your reflection

The biggest undoing one can unto himself is to not spend any time truly alone. How do you find yourself amongst the clutter? Solitude helps one focus solely upon their own voice. It is a must-have.

And I've just realised that the walls I build around me aren't to keep the others out, it's the only way I can trust myself to stay in.

FTW!

Oh and somehow I haven't mentioned this earlier... Big Day Out THIS!




When the BDO line up dropped and everyone was up in arms about it, I saw one word through the Indie clutter. BATTLES. I'm pretty sure I woke the folks sleeping underground in the cemetary down the road - no kidding.

Not that I have issues with the Indie clutter. I can't wait to see Foster the People amongst others. I'm still waiting for The Shins to be confirmed, however that might be enough to send me straight over the edge.

Feed the fire, break your vision, throw your fists up, come on with me!

I went to Parklife and despite having an awesome weekend, I am disappointed to report that after all the buildup and countdown, it was somewhat anti-climatic. The day and I just got off on the wrong foot to start with - yep, another festival, another hangover. Why do I continue to do this to myself? I should know better. As a result of my untimely lack of foresight, I ended up spending the day with my cranky pants on and I just couldn't shake my foul mood! This wasn't helped when I lost my friends and instead of just enjoying great music, I felt really panicky and sad and left out. My ill-feeling dissipated once I managed to locate familiar faces but I was just not in the festival mode. I had a moment when I thought that time had at last come when perhaps I may be over festivals??

Um, how about:
Hell to the no!
You wish, bank account!

Especially now the Soundwave lineup was announced today - it happens to be that ridiculous that I don't even know where to begin. Get a load of this:


In the real world, I cannot physically and financially afford to hit the festival circuit that I am currently scheming in my head however where there is a will, there is a way. Right?? Stereosonic, Summafieldayze, Big Day Out, Soundwave, Future...
I am just not growing out of this!

I'll be working hard to make up for the efforts that I've lacked

I haven't really been posting much lately other than youtube clips of songs I like. For that I apologise. I just don't feel there is much to report, despite the fact that there actually is. Mainly it's all to do with mapping my next steps now that I've finally nailed that 'direction' thing. I am trailblazing the uni path at the moment, getting organised. Getting excited. Moreso now that I am applying for a free program offered by CQU to provide me with the science and maths background I am severely lacking. I dropped science after Grade 9 and despite not opening my text book for an entire term I managed to just pass Maths A. I was definitely a humanities girl, that's for sure. I would have never dreamed that ten years down the track I'd want to do Medical Science. If I kill it, I will be looking at alternative entry straight into the degree I am aiming for and hopefully won't be completely overwhelmed with tertiary level physics. Well, that's the plan.

Not so much about what you need; as what you don't need.

One of my ultimate chill out tracks:



It's Friday night. I am home alone. I couldn't be more delighted with my current situation. I am enjoying solitude lately. There is definitely something to be said about not only being comfortable in your own company but actually relishing it. So long as I have tunes, an internet connection, and endless supply of green tea I am in my happy place.

Just another thing wrong with the world

Floating in the breeze

Plans change, flexibility is the beauty of their nature. Nothing is ever set in stone.


Soundtrack for the week:

A favourite moment in my life was Future this year, and this song always takes me back to that happy place.


In honour of the recently announced BDO lineup - heck yes!



And because this became the unofficial song of my Parklife weekend:

The only person treating badly is the one continuing to leave you in an unsavoury situation - you.
