fuck you, I'm a dragon.

Hey, it's been a while. Yeah. Hi-five for distractions. I actually feel somewhat dirty for giving up actual blogging for tumblr. As much as tumblr is amazing, it's somewhat hipster and plagued with bad grammar and high school drama. So I'm back! Not that I planned my absence, and consequently R's absence ( It's not egotistical, it's the truth. Justsayin' ), of course. And when thinking about how slack I've been I kept imagining that I had SO much to blog about. SO many things to cross off my list. Yeah, not so much.

I haven't crossed it off yet, but a friend from high school is cutting off all of her hair for charity. Which is kind of a big deal. I would go completely nuts with wigs but I can't see her doing that. Anyhoo, I plan to give her some dosh and therefore cross off 31). I'm trying to work out how much she has raised so far but machines hate me in the worst way. Ok, 120$ ish. She wants to get to 1000. It's still early though, she's not doing it until March.

I have decided that I get to cross off 66). because I went and saw Ben Jorgensen last weekend and it was beyond amazing and I could recognise all the Armor for Sleep songs before he got past the intro. Also, his solo stuff is pretty swell. The concert was odd though. He's kind of my musical God. I love and respect everything he's created and always come back to his tunes when all other music sounds like noise. There were maybe 50 people in this bar. 25 of those were paying attention. 10 of us were basically worshipping the sound produced by his vocal chords and guitar. I wanted to yell at everyone else and tell em to shutup because we were witnessing something really fucking beautiful. But I went by myself, knew no one there and felt awkward and therefore did not. And before you ask, no I did not embarrass myself by trying to form words in his presence. I didn't really know what to say to him so I went home. Coz I'm cool that way.

I kind of sort of changed my hair again :| woops. I know. I was planning to cut it all off closer to the end date and rock the pixie 'do, crossing off 73). in the process, but FUCK IT. I dyed it reddish browny purple. Also my fringe has grown out. HOLD UP, photo. Hahaha, it's actually from the night I went to the concert...

why yes, that is a ukelele on my wall XD

According to my psychologist, I'm a weirdo for not wanting a boyfriend. I mean, technically, it's on my list, number 77)., so therefore on some level I must want it. But really, I think it's like reading the bible so you can better argue with christians. If I have dated then it's perfectly reasonable for me to say I don't want it. Right? It's not as if I'm a complete hermit, though. I just don't think sticking my tongue down some guys throat counts as a relationship. Especially considering I knew less than 5 things about him. Stupid psychologists, making me think. bah.

IN OTHER NEWS. I still suck at wearing heels. Crossing off 84). will involve practice and/or cheating. I went out for K's fucking off party and wore heels and died and then swapped shoes with A. I still have A's shoes. Completely flat shoes. How frustrating. My shoes were kitten heels. I have 15cm heels dammit, and I want to rock them, rather than stumble for 10 mins and then give up.

And finally, I work with this lovely girl who happens to be moving to America to marry her bf. It's kind of odd because I consider around my 'level' as in age, maturity, wanting the same things, etc. but she's off the get fucking MARRIED. Which is nuts. NUTS I TELL YOU. Besides the point, when she leaves, she can't take all her furniture and shit so she sold me her bed. It is queen sized and beautiful and soonly mine XD and crosses off 101 for me. And the only reason I can take it is because I got a storage shed. YES. It's pretty cool but costs me about 250$ a month. So that plus the money I pay for board, I pay 450$ a month, to live at home. Can I just say, What the Actual Fuck. On that note I shall leave you a hollow promise of more blogs about books, recipes and movies.

MuchLove.

NEW SHINY STUFF!

CHECK IT: it's my new phone. It's so ridiculously amazing. So much love. This one in the pic shines funny. Mine is black. With shiny edges. But not orange shiny. Thats just odd.

The amazement doesn't stop! I'm typing this... on my new Macbook. YEAH. Best use of scholarship money EVER. I named him Jasper. I do appreciate his wireless capabilities. I can now blog from bed. This makes me happy.

So... now the mad excitement of crossing off 97). and 99). has passed, I should give a progress report. Because I'm so ridiculously lazy I haven't written anything in a rather long time.

On friday, there was a party. Which we somehow turned up early to. Lame, I know. I'm still not sure how it happened. Anyway, while waiting for people to turn up so we could actually get inside, I got in the boot of T's car. No one drove me though. And I've been in his boot before but this was the first time with it shut. Twas amusing. But no crossing off 4). yet.

I have been taking a rubix cube with me to uni, so on the train I have something to do that happens to be list related ( 37). ). It's good fun. Having 7ish people watch me is not so fun though. I'm not good enough for them to be watching. Yet. On the way home today I completed all of it, except for swapping the top in between bits that probably have a name but I can't remember it. I was pretty psyched, especially because it was a packed train; I was standing up, doing a rubix cube. How ridiculously unconventional am I?

So for 53). I have the let's-not-make-an-effort-and-see-what-happens approach. Which is surprisingly working. Craziness, I know. But I've lost 4 kg this year. WTF?? Sure, I had the not hungry thing, but I don't eat anything but crap. Processed tastes better.

Armor For Sleep are my all time favourite band. It's the one I fall back on once I'm sick of whatever it was that was amazing for a week. And I've been playing them non-stop lately because I'm sick of all my music. Lies. I am in need of good new music. That's what it is. But I have rediscovered Stars In Your Eyes. FRIKIN UHMAZING. Makes 66). super easy. I have to rename them though. I have 12 songs under one spelling of the band and 24 under the other on my ipod. Stoopid iTunes.

I know I've already drastically changed my hair once this year, and technically, with three for 73). I should save them for once a year, but I have this really strong urge to shave off a stripe above my left ear, cut the rest short and layered-like, and then dye it all dark purple. Which I don't think I could actually pull off. But that is what I am keen for at the moment.

I do believe that is all I can update at the moment. I promise not to leave it that long again. V. inconsiderate of me. Especially considering how I curse at those I follow when they themselves don't update.

MuchLove

numbers and letters...

I got a letter from Rach =] Something about getting mail still excites me, I guess it's because I don't get bills yet. 49). is going to be easy! I love recieving mail so much that I'm happy to make the effort of writing because it means I'll get a letter back! And I love letters from Rach, they're so beautiful and I miss her so much; despite the fact that she has the smallest handwriting known to human-kind. I may have to invest in a magnifying glass =P

49). is helping 75)., I'm not sure how long it'll be before I cover my ears when people talk about books because my list of recommended books will get too long to handle. Rach has recommended Anita Blake Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton; The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs and the Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin. WHOLE SERIES. should be fun =]

Yesterday I sat with T while he learnt basics on the piano for his list ( 91). Learn to play the piano ). Twas quite the fun. In return he tried to help me with 52). It was past midnight, and I was struggling so much I had collapsed on the floor in a fit of giggles. Turns out niether of us are very good at push-ups. When I couldnt even do a single normal push-up I switched to woman push-ups ( from the knees ) and still failed. I'm going to have to build up some strength...

Today I came across some terrible news. Well, terrible for me. Suspected though. On the Armor For Sleep website there's a post pretty much outlining that they're done. No more. End of AMAZING music. I should be more traumatized. I'm not really that phased actually. Just makes 66). more meaningful now I guess. I was singing the bits I know while I waited in the carpark for E and T to come back from the bottle shop today ( I stupidly forgot my id ).

I am quite thrilled that I can now put a countdown on the blog =] the stupid countdowns don't allow for 4 digits in the days column so I've put it off until the number of days left could actually fit on the countdown. Which is quite ridiculous.
