march?...

can it seriously be march?

what?

it can?

it is.

March!

shit.

i'm not organised.

i'm not very neat.

i procrastinate.

i like to do things my way.

it's not always easy.

but it's how i get things done.

the year is slipping slowly away and there's so much stuff I have planned for 2010.

travel.

photography courses.

find a new career path.

be more creative.

fall in love.

live.

i need to get into gear. especially since my way is clearly not the easy way.

CLEARLY.

it's gone...

so as it turned out the last day of summer was a bit of a fizzer.

it rained.

but still, it was a good day.

i got to hang with my sister. we did absolutely nothing together all day.

she's pretty raaadd.

so this weekend I learnt...

some things (people) are definitely better left in the past.

i've lost all respect for my boss. (she's a looney)

my friends are ah-mazing.

i love rain. (it brings these)

i miss summer already.

but I'm looking forward to Autumn. (the light is glorious. it's when I take my best photos.)

another aussie gold!...

would you believe that the Vancouver Games have been our most successful Olympic Games ever. and our medal tally is only (2)gold (1)silver.

i guess its pretty obvious we're a summer/surf/beach nation.

but congrats to Lydia Lassila who won gold in the ladies' freestyle skiing aerials finals

go Aussies!

fav music Thursdays...

i'm obsessed with this song. maybe because it reminds me of how much I love this city. and how much I miss it.

Empire State Of Mind by Jay- Z and Alicia Keys

i've had this song on repeat for agessss

secretly I wish I had someone to do this with...

stuck...

haha I almost forgot. 

yesterday I got one of my rings stuck on my middle finger. 

i'd worn it out the night before, and forget to take it off before I went to bed. 

so i woke up to find it absolutely glued to my finger and for the life of me couldn't get it off.

i started to panic. 

and what do I do when I panic?

i call my dad!

so the phone call goes something like this...

me "DAD, hi. it's me. umm I have a ring stuck on my finger and you have to cut it off. it hurts. it's turning purple... well maybe not purple. but red. it's definitely red. it won't come off. i've tried. you have to cut it off!"

dad "woooaaa back up. what's stuck on your finger?"

me "a ring. a ring is stuck on my finger. you have to cut it off."

dad "ok. ok. calm down. come over. i'll take a look. and we'll go from there. it's not bad enough that you should go to a doctors or hospital?"

me "hospital??? you think I have to go to hospital"

(panic panic panic)

dad "no, that's not what I said. just come over. I'm sure it'll be ok. i'll see you soon."

me "oh ok. yeah I'll see you soon..."

soooooooo anyway. long story short. the ring came off. eventually. after wrapping it in an ice pack. and then drenching my finger in olive oil. and a lot of twisting and pulling. and swear words.

it came off.  

THANK GOODNESS!

thankyou daddy.

(this is the culprit ring and the ice pack)

i hope everyone's sunday was better than mine.
