i felt i needed a new post as i've been neglecting my duties in posting consistantly. actually quite a lot has happened lately, i.e. LEAVING SCHOOL!! yeppp, schools all OVAH..... well, secondtry school anyway. i've been meaning to apply for a job somewhere, but of late, i've been neglecting that duty too :/ woops. i've applied at starbucks on queen.... but seriously, i don't want that job. i mean honestly, starbucks will be shite. but its a start and from there, i'll have money coming through and i can actually live, which will be quite nice really. i reckon i won't even last the week there anyway, but we well see.

so right now i'm at home. i put up the christmas tree today and went into town to get drinks for everyone. driving test tomorrow to see whether or not i can get my restricted.

should be moving up to auckland perminantly within a couple of weeks, hopefully before architechure and helsinki are playing so i can go see them.

sooo yaaaaa, post something of actual contents asap
thank yeeee

i was flicking through old magazines the other day, and i found this spread by stephen marr in one of the last ever pavement mags, spring 2006. all the rad kids on the page had the wickedest hair, but this gurl in particular stood out to me. i love it aye. anyway, i think i'm gonna grow my hair like hers. haha, it won't be hard - for all those who know me, you'll know i have curly hair.

hmmm, its gonna take me like year to grow this :/

pretty nifty

i reckon these are a pretty wicked idea - a cassette tape wallet. these ones are designed by marcella foschi. They're all one off's which is pretty cool, however, it does mean you have to get in quickly. but seriously, they're not hard to make. its basically just a old cassette tape and a zip, plus some material for the internal lining.

its 1:29:58 in the morning. i can't get any sleep, possibly due to the copious amounts of caffeine i have consumed over the last 12 hours (5 energy drinks, and 2 coffee's) or possibly due to the countless thoughts running through my head, who knows?

i really have no idea how to right a blog or what to do. i just thought i should give it a go right? oh god, i really don't care, lets just see how this goes.
