I got new clothes, which I like quite a lot.

in order of appearance:

blouse, bra, knickers, tights: primark
shoes: penneys
white vest: antonia campbell-hughes
floral skirt: topshop
sparkly shoes: oxfam (brand twentyone)
denim jacket: bleached and arms chopped off by me, it’s dunnes age 9/10
black lace nightie: primark

and is liking it quite nicely.
today i went to tesco and just walked around for a while looking at things but not really looking at them. nobody saw me and i liked this. i found a dress that looked nice on a sale rail between the fruit section and the tampons section. i looked at myself in the big white changing room that looked like it was for wheelchair people in the big mirror for a while. the dress looked funny. it made my bum look like i was wearing a nappy, and though the floral print was nice close up from far away it looked a bit ganky and very much like it was from tesco. the shape was pretty nice though, apart from the bum thing, and it had a nice low front which woulda looked really nice without a bra.
i really wanted to get some rice pudding for some reason even though i never really like it, but the idea is very comforting.  instead i got a pack of 30 colouring pencils for 34 cent.

i also saw a picture of maggie gyllehaal on the cover of marie claire. she is so radiant, i have such a big girl crush on her, it’s not very healthy.

you’re in for a huge surprise.

this weekend just passed i was at ELECTRIC PICNIC in stradbally. saw some mindblowing music. on saturday i saw moderat, thought they couldn’t be topped, but then on sunday royksopp went and blew them outta the water. i have some photos, check itt. some of them got wiped, my camera got too full and didn’t tell me, but went over some of the earlier ones. bad buzzz!

So, I got a new dress from Second Lovers Vintage on ebay, which is a great store which seems to have been deleted or something.
Anyhow, here are some photos of the dress in question.

Just a quicky. As Grace says, we should do lots of little posts rather than feeling scared to post because it must be planned, and readable, and coherent. BAH! Who needs those things, when there are beautiful things we can look at without having to think about very much. Such a thing. Or… things… are these videos that I found today after checking up on netaporter. So, I get the gist that Stella McCartney has done a capsule collection ’specially for netaporter, and someone has made these lovely videos to show off the lovely ethereal clothes. Here, I found ‘em on youtube and invite you to have a looksee. Excuse the lack of sense in the formation of words and sentences in this. I have been studying Spanish, then Irish, and French in the past few hours and my brain is a bit mussed up. Yeyuhh, and I can’t be bothered to even read over this and fix the nonsensical-ness. I can talk the way I wanna talk, hey!

Today is SATURDAY, the 25th of April. It is nearly 2PM.
Five days from the day I will celebrate seventeen years of being alive.
Four days from the day my friend will celebrate her 18th.
Six days from the day another friend will be 18.
Fourteen days from my mother’s birthday.
Fifteen days from mother’s day.
Two days from Monday, and school.
Twenty nine days from the day I’ll fly to Paris for my uncle’s wedding.
Also twenty nine days until I will be FINISHED fifth year.
And three hours from when I will go to my friend’s house to celebrate her 18th birthday four days early.
YES, so. This morning I finished a drawing that I’ll give as a birthday present; took some videos of my feet and mashed ‘em together to make a visual thing for a song thing I made a while ago; ate a grapefruit and planned to cut my hair. If I do so, I’ll put up some before and after pictures, that’d be good, wouldn’t it?

LISTENING TO: Cicely Irvine

LIKING: The blustery, sunny day.

YAAAAAAY!
It was a long time no post for Grace of Graceful Ramblings, but she has just posted again, yipee! I love to read her ramblings very much, and I think YOU WILL TOO!
So go check it outtt, dudes.

On another note, I’ve set up a youtube channel and put some random footage I took with my little digital camera while sitting on a train, walking on a beach, and will soon be putting some up taken while bouncing on a trampoline. I’m not quite sure WHY I did this, but something inside me made me. And there’s no fighting my urges, as I know well from the amount of chocolate I just ate.
Perhaps you’d like to have a looksee!

This one’s my favourite:

Super super Laura Sheeran put together a visual thing for one of my songs, aaaaannnndddd…. HERE IT IS!!

I got a comment from a guy called Nigel Tomm a while ago. I checked out his blog, and was a bit confused at first. I could try to explain, but instead I urge you to see for yourself! He is effing hilarious, using the internet to build up an impressive CV. He has, according to his site, written 35 books, including Romeo and Juliet Remixed, Hamlet Remixed, The Blah Story volumes 1-23,  and Vampirella’s Gangbang Sex Book Was About Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Kim Kardashian & Paris Hilton: It Wasn’t Group Style Calendar or Gangbanging Fashion Biography With Diamonds & Jewelry in Archives. All his books are available to buy on Amazon. Nigel has also made some films; The Catcher In The Rye, Waiting For Godot,  Hamlet, and Qur’an. All of which consist of a screen of colour. These, too, can be bought on Amazon. (how BRILLIANT is this!?) He also does paintings and music, check them out yourselves. He is so brilliant. And even though I know that if I was to buy one of the films online all I’d get would be an hour of colour on the screen, for some reason I REALLY want it. I love what he’s doing lots. And lots.

You know when for no reason you get really upset for no particular reason, and things like listening to a song (not even a patricularly sad one) sends you into floods of tears?

I’ve been like that pretty much non stop whenever I’m alone for the past week, what the hell is up?

I’m also not doing any art, but craving to make loads of music. So I’m just going for it, saying FUCK HOMEWORK and trying to get all this crazy feeling out of me. FUCKING HELL, WHY CAN”T I STOP CRYING?
