Do you ever stay awake pointlessly just because your kindof worried that you might miss out on a part of life?
I do.
It's usually when I'm so inspired by life and art and the people around me that I feel as if I need to keep learning and discovering, which leaves no time for sleep.

I keep having little flashes to my life overseas, when I go on a student exchange.  I can really see myself there, that must mean it's going to happen right?

My adopted cat, Chad, has been lying next to me for the last four hours, moving only to stretch his paw out occassionally.  I feel pretty close to him right now..

The boy i'm seeing, is so good for me its unusual.  And the other day, he mentioned to me this experience where he sometimes has a 'moment'.  It happens mostly on your own, when your doing something, and all of a sudden you can't stop smiling and thinking about how amazing everything is.  I experience this too, quite ocassionally, and i've never told anyone until now.
We had our own moment together the other day.
It's still vivid in my mind..

shit, it's 1.15am and IM STILL AWAKKEE. I feel like mums going to come and tell me to 'get some sleep sarahhh!!' aahhh but then I remembered that was the reason I moved out in the first place. he he he.

I once put an add in this zine for my ebay fashion shop.  I've forgotten just how on the ball, and over the line these girls write.  Such a laugh..


BATS Zine: Issue Six

It seems like i've risen from the dead, but infact i've been put off blogging for a long time lately. Mainly because my housemate writes her own blog too, and well.... its better than mine! shhhhh.  you can view it here though http://theblackfate.blogspot.com/

So many things have happened since I last posted, and none of it really matters though.  Except this.

I went to Gaga's concert not long ago, and it was fairly life and soul changing.  Her costumes, her guts, her art and her dancers all came together to inspire something crazy.  Since then, everytime I go out, I feel like I need to check... would Gaga approve of this outfit?
Oh dear.

Perhaps what made me a little crazy was the part where we waited outside for two hours, until her car came out and lent inside her bulletproof van....
and touched her.

I highly recommend it.

One of the other great things that came from her concert, is my interest in experimental sound/movies/art.  I'm not sure the exact term.  If you know it, I'd love for you to tell me.  In between each set of songs, these videos would screen, and I still can't peel my eyes and ears off them.









i'll try not to post any more gaga inspired posts for a while...

When you offer someone nothing but you, and they stay - that's when you know you have something magical.  When your stripped of your drama, your makeup, drunken antics, fashion getup, social network, academic skills, money and possessions.
Because none of that stuff defines who you are.
It's the tiny, minuscule, undefined and indescribable details that count.

I was at uni the other day, attempting to do some work when something miraculous happened - I actually watched this educational interview in it's entirety.  It's all about how huge the creative industries are becoming, how much we need to change education institutions and the opportunities that lie in the future.  


Richard Florida - Creative Class

I feel so inspired right now, i think i could do anything.





I love the way these kids dance and move. They've really put their hearts on the line. Why couldn't we sing songs like this at my school?

p.s. heres their blog too! http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/

this is all just too good to be true. Its an understatement to say i'm obsessed..
Laga Gaga night at fluffys on Sunday, and her show the next friday night!
this is crazy.

I'll come across a photo or hear something about you, and a rush of emotions comes flooding back. For however long it lasted, maybe only even two months, it was completely loving and magical between us. We were from different sides of the tracks, but somehow that was why it was so great. I learnt new things everyday, and so did you. It was genuine, it was respectful and it was all the little things you did. A peck on the cheek when i least expected it was all it took to get into my heart. Maybe it wasn't even that special, maybe it wasn't love, but it's the closest thing to that i've ever felt. You took it all away though, through one simple move. Your sorry, and i suppose you cant fight your feelings.

But it's the one thing I can't bring myself to forgive.

Amanda Wachob Tattoo

Finally someone who realizes that tattoos don't just have to be an interpretation of the southern cross. She believes in combining fine arts with body art. And she's based in New York! even more reason for me to travel there.

Labels: art, birds, body art, tattoos

i quit smoking too.


it is going quite well. I'm forgetting how i used to think cigarettes were classified as another 'simple pleasure'.
