I shall call her... Elizabeth



I can't believe my child has gone so long without a name... But, meet Elizabeth. Perhaps her rack isn't as impressive as that of Jennifer Ehle, but she's just as pretty, especially when I put her in an empire line dress and aim the camera down her top. Sigh, I really miss extension one english.



And although the pattern does suggest Pride and Prejudice, be prepared...

And I shall call him... Darcy

I realised not long ago - from two independent sources - that I need a theme when naming my consumer goods. So, with my theme already chosen, and now a competition to guess what it is, I'd like to open with the name of my car...



I shall call him, Mr Darcy... Or perhaps just Darcy. Maybe both? But yes, I can now go for drives across the countryside with Mr Darcy (don't worry Mark, I'll spare you the imagery from last night).

Oh, and If you haven't guessed the theme yet... You're an idiot!

Now it's all getting frustrating!!

I really hate uni. With a passion.

There are so many skills that I don't have, and don't think I'm going to be able to develop in time to do well at this damn thing! I need to learn to write better, I need to read quicker, I need to stop procrastination from coming on... Most importantly though, I need to learn to switch Joni off! I'm much too obsessed!

I will get better at this, or at least I hope I will.

It's been a while...

University seems to have consumed my poor life and everyday I'm faced with this non-stop rush of travelling and working. My social life is suffering and so is my sleep. But it's all okay, because I get two sleep in days at the very least... which is always exciting!

I've found very little time for quiet reflection these past few days, which is why I guess this thing is so infrequently updated. It's all moving too fast to have a chance to think about it, or what it all means. It's gotten to a stage where it just gets done, and we can deal with the consequences or reppercussions if we have the time to feel their effects.

Dannii is leaving for Paris on Friday. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself for a year. I saw her last night. We said our goodbyes. She cried, then I cried (then Maggie laughed...). And we said goodbye in a manner that truly opitomises our friendship. Talking and listening to music in my car after eating chocolate biscuits. We're such fat, talkative bitches. This is my declaration here of how much I really will miss you Dannii... online, so the entire world can see!!

I miss you already.

Watching the world through blurry eyes...

The Libran Shadow...

Every sun-sign has a shadow, and I was told about mine last night. I see the world through rose-coloured glasses... I idealise everyone. I see perfection in things that don't have them, and can not see faults that could hurt me. I'm subject to falling for flattery. I see the world through my own filter - not how it is, but how I want it. Now that I know about it, maybe I can finally fix it, finally stop the hurting.

Also, it seems the past month has been incredibly surreal. I'm undergoing a major sensory overload and it's like I physically see the world through the blur effect of Days of our Lives or some other horrible daytime soap. Words take a moment to register, memory slips into reality and vica-versa. To be honest, I feel like a really bad "Journey" text, awaiting to be analysed and butchered by HSC english. I think I should see a doctor... Maybe I'm just tired and not eating right.
