and i'm back!

so i'm back from melbourne.

it was crazy. fun and frustrating. tiring but awesome. i'm glad i went.

i'm going to be randomly blogging about melbourne but continuing with all the other posts i can't wait to share as well. my favourite photos are from my plane trip down there :)

here is a starter. this is the view of the royal exhibiton centre, complete with people doing tai chi.



oh and i only took down my point and shoot camera, which is still awesome, but i do prefer the photos taken with the slr.

off to..

oh, and uni stuffs.

but mainly giant balls of wool!

what makes me happy

i know most people this motivational stuff kinda cheesy, but on the worst days, it's nice to know there are people out there who want to help you feel better.

during my last year of school, my website of choice was fmylife, where i could laugh and feel schadenfreude :)

now my website choice has changed to other things, although i still read FML sometimes.


everytime i go to this website, i find something to improve my spirits.
alex is an amazing writer, and along with his team, has created a blog full of inspirational and amazing stories.

the one i love at the moment is this article, 30 true things you need to know now.
please go and read it, because it's got some pretty amazing quotes on there. since last thursday i have a new quote on my wall -

if the map doesn't agree with the ground, the map is wrong.
- dr. gordon livingston

it doesn't necessarily connect to what alex wrote about, but i found it such a nice quote i had to stick it up on my wall.


and one day i will share my wall of love on this blog.

sailor moon, jupiter and mars.

after the jumping post from yesterday, i remembered that i had a couple of my own.

skirts - borrowed

socks - two dollar store
tops - something like 6 dollars each
bows - I MADE THEM! in about 10 minutes altogether.





and this next photo just proves how awesome my friends are.

i think this is my proudest photo ever.
we didn't even plan this. i was taking the photo and sailor jupiter decided to do this.
looked back over the photos later and found this little gem.

i love my friends!!!

jumpy jump jump

as a normal human being, i am prone to procrastination. and during said procrastination i usually make use of this great thing i have access to, called the internet. ever heard of it? it's pretty awesome.

ANYWHO.

i am generally found browsing sites such as 2leep because they always link to some awesome articles, even if it means combatting various popups and ads on the sides. on one such encounter i stumbled upon these pics.

this is amazing!!!!!!
not only does he look amazing, but the pic doesn't look like a friend captured the right moment in a jump, there are no shadows etc. some pretty good lighting used here.

just holding a lamp whilst levitating. the norm.

love the look of her holding the phone and the friend coming out of the bathroom

there are a few more but these are just amazing! how do they make it look so effortless? beds arent like trampolines that almost propel you upwards, you have to jump with your legs. especially this last one - imagine the timing!!!


now i don't know who took these pics, but they all look like hotel rooms to me (they're too neat and clean to be household bedrooms) so i'm wondering whether maybe it was the same person?

sane is boring

milano stairs

when in milan, do as others do?
it doesn't quite work does it.

well anyway, when we were there we climbed the piazza duomo. everyone went up via the same stairs and then came down on the same stairs. as we went up, people coming down were counting loudly and we got disheartened at hearing how many stairs they had counted already and therefore how many we had left.

so when someone said 67 left and we were up in the next 10 steps we were surprised and realised they lied to us.

so when we went down we counted fake numbers.
after the third turn we said something like 78 and one girl went WHAT? nooooo.

i'm pretty sure she's the only one we fooled but it was worth it. :)

beds

and now, having been inspired by the previous post,

i find myself wishing for a round bed. maybe not with tomato slice pillows because of the aforementioned diagnosis of sleep action..

but how about these ones


two sleek, modern takes on the horrible 80s stereotype.
this is what yummy is.
special love for the floating one. a great idea, cleans out the space underneath in case of the existance of monsters, and looks beautiful attached to the cement wall.



BUT this is the one i would buy.
maybe the colours could be different, but i love the continuity of the round mirrors and the subtle headboard. or i might combine it with the other and making it floating against a cement wall?

hamburger bed yum!

i can just imagine sleeping in this every night.
and the funny part is, my dreams are always always affected by where i am sleeping. and i sleep action. so id probably end up eating a pillow or something whilst dreaming about maccas. yup.


note: sleep action. equivalent of sleep talking, but doing actions. not, but related to, sleep walking.
and i also sleep talk. but that's another story.
