2010

Ok. So even though it's not quite the end of the year yet, I've been reflecting a lot on how much has happened in one year. I've had my share of family drama, I've travelled to the other side of the world and lived in a boarding school, I've made the best friends in the world. I've fallen in love (twice) as much as I think you can at this age. I've learned a lot about myself, I've solidified my morals and what I stand for. I know what I want out of life for the next few years and I've got a fairly good idea of how I'm going to get it. As you can imagine, this has completely changed me. I used to be thinking about the world from my room in a dead end road just down from my school and now I'm writing this from my bedroom in New Jersey, a 24 hour journey away. A 24 hour journey that I'm going to attempt to complete on my own in 2 weeks time. Eek. But I know my family will be waiting for me and I'll get to see my friends soon after I arrive and it will all be good :). So yeah. That is my insane 2010 rant. BRING ON 2011!!!

don't be hatin'

a picture I found agessss ago but still adore it.

as.sort.ment.

this is the kind of dress that I would buy, tell myself I would wear it with everything because it's so gorgeous and then I would never wear it, however much I love it.

this reminds me of Sydney. I miss Sydney. I'm going home to Sydney in just over 2 weeks.
I don't really know what goes on in this guy's brain but it is GENIUS.

conflict, much?

So rather conflicted at the moment and all of these pretty much sum up something that doesn't make sense and I'm trying to work through.

camping is...

sparkly

I have this weird need to own something sparkly like a jacket or a dress or something like that. I know some people think it's tacky but I really like it :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress on the top right <3>

have peace with yourself

Peace. It begins with you. Be at peace with yourself, have peace with other and have peace with the world so that we may live harmoniously in the universe with serenity and friendship. Make peace, keep peace.

photography by a friend of mine
this girl's blog is amazing. And I want this outfit. http://karlascloset.blogspot.com
I'm not too sure about the grey sweater but I desperately want this black hooded cloak thing. Love it. Absolutely love it.
Oh yeah. And this outfit seems like a pretty yummy thing to be wearing right now :)

canada + freezing

hellooooo :)

So I've been in Canada on exchange for a three months and I've almost finished my time here. But I've come across a few pics and things that I like so in the next few days I'm going to be doing marathon blogging :) So I've got 4 more days here in Canada and then I fly down to New Jersey to spend a month with my godfather and his family which is v. exciting. I'm sad to not be home for Christmas and New Year with my fam but I'm looking forward to a white Christmas and getting to know my godfather now that I'm older.

So yeah. That's my ramble done :) picture time :)

chocolate

I've just gone for 10 weeks without chocolate. Don't ask: it was a crazy diet experiment thing.

But anyway, I've just realised how awesome chocolate is and how much of it I eat. I'm totally craving things like Aunty Kath's chocolate chip cookie dough, other chocolate chip cookie dough, yummy squodgy, melt-in-your-mouth amazing cookies. What else? Ah yes, Cadbury Black Forest chocolate. Totally amazing - probably the chocolate product that I missed the most. I also crave Cherry Ripe, Turkish Delight (the chocolate bar yummy thing), Oreos and Tim Tams. Ah Tim Tams...how I've missed you. Well thats all. If there's actually anyone reading this, comment with your favourite chocolate product.
