Mr Price Comp.

http://www.inthefashionloop.com/girls/tell-us-your-secret/comment-page-1/#comment-2785

Mr. Price is having this awesome comp. You can win R500 vouchers, I really really wanna win, I <3 Mr. Price!

When I was little I was taught that children should be seen and not heard. I'm 22 years old and I still live by that, I like being a quiet person. I wish more people taught their children that. Because people can't out right tell kids to piss off.

Last night I had a nightmare within my dream. It was quite a messed up dream, there was a lot going on. In the nightmare I was in the sea. Now previously I've had recurring dreams about the sea, and in the dreams there is this same horrible feeling of absolute fear. The dreams stopped for a while but last night it happened again. And to make it worse there was a flippin' big whale in the sea and the current was pulling me towards it. I knew it was a nightmare so I started screaming to wake myself up but I only woke up to be in another dream.

Sometimes I question if I'm a good person or not. The other night I helped someone that I really don't like. And I felt good about helping. Even though they didn't even thank me properly and by properly I mean they didn't thank me at all!

Anyway...
Today I bought Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey. I've been dying to get my hands on it and I finally found it for really cheap. I can't wait to read it. I'll wait for peace and quiet to be restored in my house first. I got some money from house sitting, besides the book I'll probably spend it all on dresses.
That's all for now, I'll be adding more pics soon :)

Disney Dream

This morning I had such a beautiful dream, all the grey crappy buildings in the city started to turn into Dinsey Princess castles and in no time the whole city was filled with pinks and yellows and blues. It was so pretty and happy that I think I started crying in the dream because I knew that could never be possible, I could never live there. Now what I have learnt when reading your dreams, its more about how you feel in the dream than what you see. Ofcourse objects, people and colours all make a difference, you have to take note of those things. But what I can see from that dream is that in real life I obviously want something that I can never have or feel like I can never have. And clearly deep down I'm quite upset about it, I just don't know what 'it' is yet.













In other news, hmmm I guess there is no other news. Yesterday I found this site called FaceinHole.com its so silly but so addictive!



















My favourite band of the moment is Best Coast. The sound is so cooool.
Here's a link to their song, its not their video though. Its such a cute song.

My Novel

So I wrote a novel a few months ago. Now I've been busy sending queries to agents. First I tried to send my novel to publishing houses, but where I live no bloody publishing house does youth novels! So I decided to get an agent. Anyway the first lot I sent out either got rejected because the agents were 'too busy' or because the novel was not the type they were looking for. So I decided to change the query up a bit, and I sent them off to new agents that I found. One being an agent that I really really want for my book! I sent out 7 and so far 4 have come back with a no :( Anyway I'm still hopeful for that one agent that I've got my heart set on. My novel is a youth novel, maybe thats not my thing. I had plans to write two more in the series but maybe this just isn't my genre. I really like writing so even if I never get published I'll still write for fun. I'm going to hold thumbs for the next three agents to reply with positive response.
So this is my second entry. In case someone other than me is reading this, you might like to know that I won't always just be talking randomly. I'll probably share lots of other stuff too. Like cupcakes and cakes that I've made and pictures that I've drawn. But until then we're stuck with my random ramblings. The things that are taking up a lot of space in my head are probably mostly concerning my future plans and maybe some mean thoughts, angry thoughts about our current house guests. The one I love dearly, after all she is my flesh and blood and I love having her around more but come on! The others make me want to pull my hair out. I guess I can be quite a horrible person sometimes. But anyway, my future plans... I have no idea what to do. At the moment I'm going with the flow, I can't help feeling guilty all the time because I have no responabilities at all. I can literally do whatever the hell I want all day. I don't work and I don't study... I relax and relax and relax. I mean I love it! I wish I could do this all my life but there's that guilty feeling that hangs over my head that will prevent that from happening. I've considered getting a part time job or something but I just can't see myself working like an ass for some horrible company again. I know its not realistic to think this way but I always feel like I'm meant to be doing something bigger with my life. Not like hugely big! I mean I'd frickin' love to help cure cancer and stuff but lets not great crazy now. By big I mean personally big, like writing a great novel or an amazing movie screenplay. I'd love to open up my own little cake shop. But in the mean time I feel like I have to go through the little things first to advance in life. My dad wants me to study, but I seriously don't know what to study. I have a lot of interests but none of them include studying 24/7 and then working 9-5 5 days a week. Maybe I should find a rich husband and I can continue 'relaxing' at home. I love being at home, I swear I don't think I could ever get bored. All I need in life are ingredients to make lovely little cakes and a laptop to write on. I think that is a simple enough need. But how do I expect my dad to understand that? 'Oh dad I don't want to do anything with my life but bake and write.' Ya I don't think he'd like that very much. Sometimes I go around with my head in the clouds thinking how magical my life is and then I start to think about the reality of it and it scares me. I'm not grown up enough yet to think about big life responsabilties and it feels like I never will be. AND I don't want to waste money on a degree that I'll never use, I mean it is a lot of flippin' money to study these days! And there'll be more guilt waiting for me when I don't use the degree or if I happen to fail. Anyway, I'm starving so I'm gonna sign off and write more later. Good day*

First Post

Its not a very imaginative title I know but whatever, it is my first post. I always hesitated to make a blog because I've always thought who cares about what I have to say. But then it got me thinking that I actually don't care if people care to read it or not. Its more for me, a lot of crap runs through my head and I guess this is a good way to get all of that out. Especially when I have something on my mind that I just want to get out but I don't feel like I have anyone to say it to. So I guess this blog is kind of like talking to myself or a very non responsive robot buddy. Anyway I don't have much to say now, I mean I've got a lot on my mind but that can wait for the next blog. All I have to share right now are some of my favourite songs of the moment:
Sufjan Stevens - Futile Devices (its one from his new CD - The Age of Adz)
The Dead Weather - Rolling In On a Burning Tire
Best Coast - Boyfriend
Kasabian - There are more than a few songs I'm loving of theirs at the moment.
Mumm Ra - She's Got You High
Civil Twilight - Something She Said
The Black Keys - Chop and Change
The Editors - The Boxer
That's all I have for tonight's blog otherwise I'll stay up for hours just writing a whole lot of stuff.
So I'm signing off. Goodnight*
