Tumblr has taken over my internet life.

I feel like I'm cheating on blogspot.

But I'm going to make up for it.

Here is a photo of my sister and I on her birthday.

She had an ice-skating party with friends from her old school and new school (but none are in the photo).

bluhhh i dont know

why I want to undertake work experience with a barrister.

I don't even want to be a barrister.

I just want the awesomeness it will bring to my resume.

How do you hide that in 300 words of bs?

Ever since I was a young girl, I've been fascinated by the mechanics of the legal system and how our society has managed to fight evil by moonlight and win love by daylight.

Justice never runs from a real fight and never turns her back on her friend.

Justice is always there to depend.

Ok fuck it. It's sailor moon.

freeze

A photo freezes a moment in time, exactly how it is, and soon to be exactly how it was. When you look at that photo, you can see every little detail about that person. What they were doing, what they were wearing, how old they are (roughly anyway). But you can't see what they were thinking.

If you saw a photo of me right now, you'd see me sitting at the computer at work, typing this, with empty pistachio shells next to me in some tupperware.
You wouldn't see me thinking about the day I finally (if I ever) get an iPhone.
You wouldn't see me thinking about whether my little sister will like the earrings I bought her today, for her 11th birthday on Sunday.
And you wouldn't see me thinking about how ugly my haircut was around the time I went to Fiji.

But I guess you'd probably prefer to just glance at a photo of me how I am now, rather than go to the trouble of reading this and go to the extra depth of learning what I'm thinking. Because really, there's no point to this blog. Its just more irrelevant nonesense.

Have a good morning/day/afternoon/night!

10 reasons why my life does not suck

1. I do not live in poverty and can eat as much as I need everyday

2. I have a home with all the essentials (and more!)

3. My family love and support me and take me on overseas holidays

4. I am nearly (so very close) to reaching the halfway point in my double degree

5. There are so many things I can do when I'm bored (like sew or play piano)

6. I have the best boyfriend I could ever have and will say this even at the risk of sounding like a lovesick 14 year old.

7. My wardrobe may not be flooded with labels but I know I'll never have to live naked/die of frostbite

8. The vet told us that our dog had to be put down about 2 months ago, yet he is still here today, cheeky as ever

9. I have more true friends than I can count on one hand and am grateful for everyone of them

10. No one has ever denied me access to something I've needed

I'm not going to justify this post. Just thought it would be nice to do something different.

Ok damn, that's justifying it.

playing with the pentax

My dad has this old Pentax that uses film (omg yes) and he let me borrow it for fun. Although he did warn me that I shouldn't expect anything amazing from it, I'm still really pleased with how the photos turned out. I'm no photographer, I just like how the camera screams 90s.

teach yourself a lesson pt. 5

Dear Grade 8 Julia,

All I have to say is, bitch you were so skinny. And you didn't even know it. Even with all the crap you ate, like on a Friday afternoon when you went home with Alana after school to get ready for ballet lessons and her mum would prepare a killer afternoon tea. Tim Tams, Wagon Wheels, Donuts, Chocolate. Anything and everything that has zero nutritional value. Those were the days.

Love 20 years, 4 days Julia

Dear Grade 9 Julia,

Alright so you got off to a rough start with your teacher. Being late on the first day and getting in trouble for all the shit that the boys were doing to irritate you. That time Luca was sitting opposite to you with his back to the teacher, playing with blu-tac, sticking it on his face to mock your beauty spot. That time Matt was kicking your bag across the room when it was "chairs-up, clean-up time". That time Tim scrubbed your chair with shoe buff and asked you if your chair was extra slippery. Ok so you didn't get in trouble for that, it was just funny. They were all just dumb and looking for a laugh. Don't stress. It's all good.

Love 20 years, 4 days Julia

got a new brother for my birthday

Say hello to my new brother.

Alright so I have no idea where he stands in the world of sewing machines, but I don't care because I will love him regardless. It was a gift from my dad. And you never question a gift!

I'm thinking I'll save the old one until I'm 80 so it becomes vintage.
