In 1992 I was 4

So here's what's up with me.

It's the Youth Week Launch on Saturday; and it's forecasting rain. I've been working on this for about 2 months now, and honestly I just want it to be over. Plus, when I get my cheque I can buy a Macbook! Writing a 30,000 word paper will be easier when I can bring my computer to the books, rather than carrying hundreds of books home.

I also have an interview for a secondment place on Monday. It's with Tura New Music - they're having their bienniale next year and it would be an exciting place to work when that comes round. I asked a few people what the general impression is - they're a small company who are very stylish, and they sound nice over the phone! All of this has made me a bit more chipper this week.

I picked up my new glasses yesterday - couldn't get a good picture of them, so I found one on the interweb! Since going overseas, I've been wearing my glasses a lot more and I wanted some that are more subtle than your average nerd glasses. These are actually deceptively thick at the top and look more mature than the Prada ones I wore last year. I plan on getting a new pair every year from now on, rather than every two years. Variety ahoy.
So today I am procrastinating from homework, I have a big paper due on Friday that I'm about 2/3 finished. It's the last few sections that are giving me grief, so I will update this blog, work for another hour then hit some op shops. I'm going to go to the High Road area and I am on the lookout for swishy skirts at knee length, sweaters, button down shirts and perhaps even a tie.

I watched about 4 episodes of The Hills today; around the time where Lauren and Whitney go to New York and run the Young Hollywood party. Lauren meets Marc Jacobs! When I get my tax return, one of his pretty purses will be in my paws just in time for my birthday - the loneliest one ever. Hopefully Thomas will be my BFF and have fun with me, it is a Thursday night after all.

Anyway they are doing heaps of work scenes in the show, and the one thing that keeps them looking polished and sophisticated even with unwashed hair and illfitting clothes is their shoes. Gorgeous heels, all the time. I bought these from Faith in London and I am in the process of wearing them in. Last time I wore them out I walked from Northbridge to the Belgian and back, and I didn't fall over once.



My dad gave me his ipod nano today, it's brand new and very pretty. It can only hold 4gb but I only use mine now for driving and walking, so I have put a new bevvy of songs on there. Some features include The Smiths, Lucero, The Kooks, Jawbreaker, Adam and the Ants, Moondog, Jesu, etc. etc. etc. Life is musical.

Last but not least, your life plans have made me think about my own. I only know that I want to be living, or have lived, in a different city by the time I turn 25 in 3 1/2 years, and I want to be heading in a good direction career-wise when I'm 30. That said, a lot of time between then and now to have fun and be young. I've been thinking about Perth, and if my best friends aren't here then the things that I love about this city will be few and far between. So if you decide to move to Melbourne next year, and want some company, I may go with you! I think if I get a job here at the end of secondment, I should put in a year to get a good start, and by that summer I will be ready to make some life-changing decisions.

Excitement ahoy.
