I am ready to owe you anything

Went and saw Kick Ass today and I really, really think you should see it asap. There are some awesome fight scenes and its pretty funny. Plus the hero is a 13 year old girl who murders drug dealers, so it's pretty much selling itself.

Miriam: This is social degregation.
James: I have nothing profound to say
Alex: Write about how awesome I am
Alison: Don't EVER trust a blue budgie

Told you I would put it on my blog.

I have to think of a new concept for Tec and it has to run on the vein of "australiana" which has been done to death already, so.... awesome.

I wanted to look at the monsters in the books of revelations and ezekiel from the bible. Take inspiration from the descriptions the prophets gave. I used to be pretty religious until I realised that religion has nothing to do with God.

I think dressing men (its a menswear assignment) as these monsters suggests that religion is created by people, not by God, and that we made it somewhat of a monster. It might be a stretch though, especially if I have to put something to do with Australia in there.

Maybe I'll just looks at some bushrangers.

Feckin Australia.

One day I'll go to my doctor and tell him I don't want to grow up
Cos growin ups' a kind of torture
He'll say 'here honey,
Take some drugs,
And you'll be fine.'

Everyone is falling for the pastels this winter. Myself included. So I thought I would post this picture (one of the many assignments this term that SUCK to do but actually turn out pretty cool) to remind myself that colour, no matter how blatent or subtle should make you stop and just absorb what is going on around you.

your southern can is mine.

listened to the white stripes all day. yeh boi.

So here are some pics of my first second year "creation." Its knitted on GIANT needles using stretch jersey, wool and a cotton blend. My teacher is a bit wound tight, hopefully she understands the theatrical element to it. It's based on a spider orchid.

Listening to- The Slow Club.

'It doesn't always have to be beautiful, unless its beautiful.'

I'm procrastinating. Spent last night with two of my favourite people and one that is fast becoming another top friend. Miri, Ali and James, we hung listening to music, smoking and drinking. Nights that don't have any plans are growing on me.

I've got the most ridiculous fear going on right now. I'm terrified of being old and married. I think its because I work in Textile Traders and the amount of women that come in because they have nothing else to do is astounding. Their kids are at school, their husbands are at work, they don't work anymore but just keep talking about how "busy" they are. They're not busy, they're just bored. Their just boring. I don't consider myself a feminist but if I ever end up like that at the age of 45, with nothing but kids and a morgage to my name, I'll be so ashamed.

ergh harsh words. sorry.

the boys are back in town

Japandroids said it.

hoollllyyy shit balls!

all my assignments are due in a week.

i have to play netball and its raining. i fucking hate rain. and netball. so i probably won't play but still.

AND

Shea bought massive packets of lollies from this wholesale place and i have already eaten my body weight.

Its all happening here!!!!

So this week all I will be doing is crazy knitting at record speed because i am on a constant sugar high. if you find me disheveled, wandering down the road, knitting needles in hand i would steer clear, i'm probably looking for someone to stab. and i would hate to stab you.

Busy day today. I slept in so I had to cram everything into half a day and got side tracked at the op shop. Got a new rabbit fur coat, because ever since listening to Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, I've needed one. Also got some mens shoes, I'm going to call them hoppers. Got a rather nice black silk blouse too, pretty good sleeve detail, size 18 or something so it billows around.

Looking a bit shaggy in these, don't mind at all.

Also got some photos of those silks I have dyed, I stuck to variations of olive green, pinks, oranges and yellows for the satin silks using heat fix dye. All the dying was done very rapidly, I've worked out my attention span shouldn't be mistaken for being lazy. I don't have paitence so I work very quickly, I get bored easily so I make as much as I can. The chiffon silks were dyed using a blot method. You paint on the dye with a brush and then lay down more silks to absorb the excess dye. Waste not want not.

Still not sure what I am going to do with them. I can't get too attached or I will not be able to rip them up and make them into something else.




listening to- Excuses, Morning Benders. a really awesome violin hook at the start, reminds me of a pin up girl tripping on acid.

red hands today

Did heaps of fabric dying today and my hands are now red, lucky i like the colour. I was pretty hard working today to make up for doing nothing over my two week uni break, the most focused i've been in ages actually.
I'll put some photo's up tomorrow of the yarn and silks I have dyed.

This photo was taken on Christmas Day and I really like it. She's my sister, he's my dog. Taken on an old canon, polarized lense.

I love you like a fat kid loves cake
I love you like i love fat kids
oh yeh?
yeh so not at all, fat kids piss me off.

- conversation with Ali over too much vodka and dolce and gabbana perfume in the toilets (most likely the female ones) Friday night is coming back to me in small doses.

Went out with my sister for the first time last night. Cranked up Rilo Kiley in the car, it was pretty rad. High waisted red skirt, motorcycle boots, 70's printed top and leather jacket.

Some guy asked if nana made my sister's jumper. I looked him up and down and pulled a face that definatly translated my utter disgust for his v neck cotton on t and tight skinny's. Enough said.

listening to - cymbals eat guitars and its got me wishing i was a guy so i could pull of an indi rock band and pee anywhere, anytime.

song lyric in waiting.

I want childish days where all i have of myself to give away is where I'm hiding.
