- Toasted cheese sandwiches. This really should be higher on the list.

- Vanilla perfume

- Random facts!

New clothes!

Goodness, I've been meaning to post all week but I'm incredibly lazy and... well, I'm just lazy. Anyway, I'd been eyeing off this grey skirt all week so decided to finally get it on Friday.

Epic win:

(I'm still very technically unproficient with the timer, hence my curious "Is it going to take the photo?" look and cutting my head off and being distracted by J-Hos walking down the road)




I ran into some friends in town today when I went to buy shampoo, and we decided to stop being pretentious and go into Supre because, lets face it, paying $15 for a singlet is ridiculous when you can get one for $10. Hence my new black (and white, but thats still in the garishly pink bag) singlet!

You can't really see my necklace, but its my Pilgrim necklace with my favourite teacup charm <3 I'm getting some more for my birthday, so I shall showcase them soon enough (29 days and counting!)

Mememe!

Sorry, its wordy. But I'm an attention whore! Maybe you'll get through it all before the Ace Enders song finishes, and we'll all be happy :D

Ace Enders

Trusty blue skinnyish jeans, my absolute favourite piano belt, and my panda shirt. I was wearing a long black cardi but it was too hot.

I try to, but I always get distracted.

How's life?
Its pretty good! To quote my dear friend John: "I love life. How good is life. I could go some life right now"

What would you like to learn to do?
Transcribe music by ear, rather than have to look for chords/sheet music, speak another language, cook more stuff (like the amazing sweet potato, almond and ginger pasta I had for dinner last night... I love being taken out by Levi's family!)

What’s for dinner?
Something that isn't as good as what I had last night, sadly. Probably vege burgers.

A birthday present for Dad - The Greatest Album Covers of All Time



What are you listening to right now?

Ace Enders. See: Current obsession.

What is your favorite weather?
Normally cold weather, because I get to layer up. But at the same time, I don't have any particularly warm clothes so I just like curling up in front of the heater with a hot chocolate.

What is on your bedside table?
I don't have one! I've been living out of Tara's room while mine's being decorated. Actually, there is a little table next to my bed which has a bucket on it, and thats filled with bits of paper, clothes, my yearbook, and two pillows.

What’s your style?
Clean clothes.

What is your most challenging goal right now?
Picking songs for the eisteddfod.

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where do you want it to be?

Name the things you cannot live without.
Tea, good food, excellent company, and any one of my three piano belts.

(This is one of them)

One of the cupcakes that mum made on Thursday. Orange, almond and chocolate.

Italian and French.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Happy! I'm a walking cliche! :D

What's one thing you're looking forward to?
My England trip! Its only 4 months, 3 weeks and 5 days, I believe. How exciting! :D

What was the last film you watched?
Dan in Real Life. I really enjoyed it, actually.

PEOPLE WHAT I TAGGED: Libby, Sian, Jacinta and... oh God, do I even have five people on my blog? /socialfail.

CORORATE EMILY IS CORPORATE

I know, two posts in one day, how decadent :)

Since I started my new job on Thursday, I've come up with an entirely new "I have nothing to wear" dilemma - I'm seventeen, I don't own 'smart office wear'! So Thursday I went with my interview outfit (black pinstripe pants, white shirt and a black blazer), and luckily I started on a Casual Friday week so that was okay :D

Although, most of the newbies (there are 30 of us, and I'm the youngest by about 18 months - most of my coworkers have children, eep!) were questioning how the rest of the staff could be more casual in their workwear.

So yesterday, armed with my dear friend Sarah and a chocolate fix, we went on an epic quest to find me some workwear that I can still wear on weekends.

The whole thing only came to about $120 - less because I had a Target voucher and every time I buy something from there it scans at a lower price than the tag - can anyone say $10 off these shoes? KER-CHING!





And finally, Sarah and I being the posers we all know we are.

Art!

Seeing as I am ridiculously lazy and haven't posted the art I did months ago, I thought it was high time I did.

This was a birthday present for Levi. He has a pet tiger (PET? Toy) that is probably the same size as me named Felicia, so I thought this would be a cute picture.
