Taylor Momsen


She's got one heck of an attitude. As much as I want to dislike her and her unexpected music career- I simply can't. Annoyingly enough she's actually got a really good voice, and her music is fresh and catchy. 

Damnit!

Hmm, I can't seem to be able to get up and do anything.

Glancing around my room I see vast mountains of clothes, books, paper, speakers, CDs, DVDs, stationary.. need i go on?

I walk into my room now. I don't enjoy the scenery. Not the least bit. At the moment it's not the kind of room that makes you want to randomly invite all your friends around- just so you can sit in it, and they can compliment you on how it really accentuates my personality. Nope, no urge to do that.

Problem is, as soon as I open my laptop up- there's no getting up. I don't even notice the clutter when I'm sitting here in my chair, amidst all the chaos. I can't even claim it's organised chaos anymore- because that would be lying. A quality I don't aspire to possess if i can help it.

*pause*

I really, really can't make myself get out of my chair.

*goes on YouTube*

Okay, I got a bit excited over a song (Welcome Home, Son- by Radical Face. Great, heart soaring song!) and i knocked a massive pile of comic books next to me over. And it landed on my foot. So, ow!

*pause*

Okay fine! I'll tidy up!!!

*sigh*

Half of the Olsen Twins (in this case Ashley)


There's always been something about the Olsen twins. I have known them (well not personally..) since they were kids on 'Full House'. Now they are simply famous individuals with one heck of a flair for fashion. Also they've made numerous films, had their own tv series and apparently have a series of books for teenagers. 

The drawing above has been created by an amazing artist called Michele Seo. If you like it (and how can you not, it's absolutely mind-staggering!)- i urge you to check out her deviant site, link provided just below the masterpiece. Get clicking!

Erin

Check out her YouTube site       

This is Erin (full name: Erinpaula) she's from Rin on the Rox (when she used to sing with her friend Roxanne). But now she seems to have gone solo. Although it is sad- she is pretty amazing on her own.

She's so beautiful, talented and fun. I want to be friends with her sooo badly! Or even better- BE her!

The Frog Prince?

Back breaking stuff this weekend. Removing all the overgrown shrubs and trees from a garden that had gotten waaaaaay out of control. So i'm sitting here feeling pretty satisfied with all the labouring that's been done- but also achey all over. From my feet, legs, back to my shoulders, arms, wrists, hands and neck.

Anyway, I saw at least 5 frogs on various occasions this weekend and tried catching them- but all the effort proved to be in vain. Those sneaky critters can jump you know!

However- my daddy (genius that he is) managed to nab one before we left- so here are some pictures with my handsome Frog Prince.

So uhm yes, here i am sporting an outrageously fashionable, shockingly orange jacket. An absolute feast for the eyes, i know. But drag your gaze away for just a moment- can you see my frog? I know it looks as if I'm about to eat him in the first one (he wasn't that close to my face, I don't think...). I look supremely happy in these photos- i was so excited about the frog. I have this thing about frogs. So this was like someone had just told me Batman really does exist! Plus I've decided to name him Trevor- I set him free again mere moments after these pictures were taken. We were both on tight schedules. 

You know, I did contemplate kissing him to see whether a Prince might come out of it all. But after a sharp- "Put that frog down and wash your hands! You don't know where it's been!" from one of my parentals, all visions of Happily Ever After hopped away- as he leaped from my hand to rejoin nature. 

So long...

Night time is the best time!

As I'm writing it is exactly 11 minutes to midnight. I've just had a large mug of coffee. It's just me, my laptop and a stack of comic books...

Let the good times roll!!!

Neil Gaiman's: Sandman, Endless Nights


    
                                                                                             
                                
  Neil Gaiman- proclaimed to be one of our great masters within the fantasy genre. The author of:
-Stardust (now a successful movie)
-Coraline (made into an animated picture- in fact the very first piece of writing I read by Gaiman was Coraline in a graphic novel format. Creeped me out big time, what's with all those button eyes?!)
And now the Sandman series. I'd heard big things about this saga. So when i spotted it at my library- i thought i'd hit the jackpot! It features various short stories, all written by Gaiman- illustrated by different artists (all very impressive within their own rights).
               
Now i don't know whether I'm being completely stupid- but i really didn't get the point of most of them. At the end of almost every story i remember thinking (okay, well... what? what was the message, the meaning?). I feel a little bit like the one person sitting in the audience of a stand-up comedian who misses every punchline. 

Some stories (such as the one pictured above- Desire's story) albeit a little sexy- was admittedly a brilliant piece of story-telling. Maybe i should not have chosen this book to be my very first in the Sandman series. Or maybe i should just retire myself to the fact that everyone's favourite author isn't mine. 

Just some thoughts.

University

Oh also- thought i'd let you all know that i got into Uni.
So am i excited? HELL TO THE YEAAAS!!!

I start pretty soon. With a freshers fortnight. Which sounds... twice as long as a freshers week? You betcha- because it is.


5 years of undergraduate dentistry here i come!!

whatever. totally not addictive.

New Layout?

"New layout?" you ask.

The answer: Yes.

Reason: Apparently the other one sucked (thanks to that explicitly honest person for being so straight up.)


Anyway, i don't know if i really like it.... We'll have to see. Hopefully it'll grow on me. If it doesn't expect to see a completely different design soon!

xx
