Signed, sealed and lost in the post.


I feel like I'm signed, sealed and lost in the post.
Thankyou to The Wombats for those lyrics.

Where to start..

My life is a total mess right now, in about eleventy million ways, some alot more significant than others.

I mean, sure, my life is good - I'm 18, have a roof over my head, my own room, my own car, a part time job, I go to uni, I have friends, I have two loverly Dobermans and a Siamese fighting fish, I never go hungry, I have a very active social life and am rarely home because of it and work and Uni, and yet it just feels like my life is going no where right now.
Sad, I know.


There's friends, family, work and my love life (or lack there of)... all of which are getting me down right now.

Uni is eating up my life. And not in a good way.
I'm literally drowing in Uni assessment right now but I have absolutely no motivation to do my assignments, most of which are due in the next week or two and are incredibly time consuming.

I feel like a jelly fish - just blobbing around in the sea of life. Yep.
That's me, blobbing through life, not really going anywhere or achieving anything, but I always seem to be doing something, whether it's useful or not is a different matter.

Work has been horrible lately, in ways I don't wish to publicise on the internet.
Like, horrible as in me almost bursting into tears on numerous occaisons.

Not to mention I feel incredibly lonely, even though I'm surrounded by people.
I miss a few people right now, I miss them so much it hurts.
I just generally feel out of sorts.

We did real life drawing at Uni today, a nude model came into our class and we had to draw her for 3 hours.
So draining, having to concentrate for that long, and the fact that every drawing we do is being assessed is even more nerve-racking.
My drawings didn't turn out very well. I hate drawing people, mostly because it's extremely obvious if you make a mistake - one single line out of place and the whole drawing is thrown off.
So frustrating.

I feel just so.. lost in everything.


And I'm having one of those days where all I want to eat is icecream and I don't even have any in my house.
The only this that really cheers me up is my close friends, my music and me not being at home.
Which is good, but it means I spend most of my time listening to music ans hanging out with friends away from home.
I'm at the point where I want to do anything but be at home and I find myself trying to find ways to not be at home... which is good, coz I don't want to be at home, but it also means when I'm out I'm not doing my uni homework or my at home chores and stuff.
I can't win.
When I'm not at home things don't seem to so bad and/or frustrating though.
My family are so bloody annoying. I never do anything mean or nasty to them but it seems all I get from them is negitivity, no matter what.

Maybe I should just go to bed.
I'll feel better soon, I'm just feeling really down lately.
Everyone has their off days..
I'm just having an off week.

If you actually read this, lol, good on you.
Sorry if I put a downer on your day coz you read this. I'm ok, really.
If you did read this, leave me a comment so I know that people are actually reading this.
People probably arn't, but whatever.

Until next time faithful readers,
Louchasy

p.s Hope you enjoy the random photos.
This is me being random and slightly artistic. The top photo is one I took when I was in my car, waiting for a friend. The bottom two are ones I took a few weeks ago when I was hanging out with a bunch of friends.. we had a girls night in/lets get drunk kind of thing, and these two photos I took the day after. They're not very impressive but I like them and they remind me of that day.

It's called a beret, thankyou.

So, today and yesterday were pretty interesting as far as days can go.
Most of this week has been interesting actually.
What a bonus for me, for my life to be interesting!
YAY.


Ok so to explain the title of this blog - On monday I bought myself yet another beret, this new one is grey and wooly and I think it's cute.
I wore it yesterday when I was at Uni. Everyone seemed to like it, which was nice. Compliments about my new cute hat go down well with me.
But, anyway, relating to the title of this blog - My mate and I were wasting time in the Guild Bar on campus on Wednesday afternoon. We must've sat on that nice red couch in there for about 3 hours, just chatting and watching the sun set with me casually sipping my Smirnoff. (Haha.)
Yes, so, we're sitting there, and this random 3rd year Drama student comes up to us and goes: "Can I film you two being "social" with my friend?" And my friend and I, not wanting to be rude, were like, "Oh yeah... Umm.. Ok..."
So the drama studen'ts making a film about being social and eating out and she films her friend saying: "Eating out can provide a fun and social experience" (or something along those lines) and then she films her friend coming up and hi-fiving Jess and we're all sitting on the couch laughing and pretending we're great mates in a really fake and over-exagerated way.
Then she stops filming. We thought she was all done, then she's like: "Oi, you, girl in the beanie, I want you to hi-five too. You're not being social enough!"
It's called a beret, damn it.
Yep. So that's my random story that explains the title to my blog.


But, why did my mate and I have 3 hours to waste in the Uni Guild Bar I hear you ask!
Well, that's because last night my mate and I attended a little party/creative arts festival in which I was exhibiting some of my art, and so we had some time to kill beforehand because I had to drop my art off at 3pm and the party didn't actually start til 7pm.


The party was pretty good itself, there was some gorgeous art on display (not meaning mine here) and there was food and drinks and other fun stuff.


The "Snapshot of the day" for this blog is from last night, it's a picture I took of some guy looking at my art. It was amazing to sit anonymously and watch people look at my art, talk about it to whoever they were with and point at it. Such a great experience!
I had fun.
You can see the photo here >>>>

And Tuesday was wonderfully rad too. I got to hang out with my mate for hoursssss. I love her. We just sat on the grass and chatted and laughed for hours.
She's so wonderful, and she spoils me! She got me this cute hippie bracelet. I love it. I'm wearing it right now. I love it, and her.
And, as well as hanging with her, she and I also hung out with my new Uni friend too. He's really rad. And we (him and I) got the bus back to Uni and ended up (my some stroke of magical genious) only being ONE minute late for our 4pm tutorial. It was an insanely boring tutorial. It was all: "This is how we quote someone's opinion" and "This is how we reference" and "This is how we paraphrase."
So. Very. Dull.

That's about it really.
Not much else has been going on in my life that's particularly blog-worthy.
Just alot of me travelling to and from Uni, going to lectures and tutorials and catching up with ALOT of people along the way.
It's amazing how many people I've run into over the past few weeks. It's so great.
And I've made new Uni friends too, which is super rad.

Today I bought myself and a friend tickets to see Kisschasy play live in May. I paid for them over the internet usuing my credit card, which was a new experience for me. Haha.
It's not actually a credit car,d it's a debit card but I can use it as a credit card. Confusing but useful in situations where you need a credit card!
Hahaha.
I'm so pumped for the concert though.
I adore Kisschasy. Alot.


That's all for now I think.
Hope you enjoyed my rather random blog!
Until next time, byee! - xox -

MY FIRST

WELCOME TO:

My fantastical and first ever blog on blogspot.com!


So, I havn't blogged properly in about... 3 years... I think, so, as you can assume, this's pretty exciting for me right about now.

I'm going to try to update this blog with my thoughts and other ramblings regularly, but no promises. My urge to blog comes and goes, as I'm sure it does for most other bloggers...
But, we'll see.
For now I'm just going to take it as it comes.

I should be doing my uni homework and assignments for uni tomorrow, but me, being the Queen of Procrastination that I am, is doing everything but my uni work.
Nevermind.

I've had the burning desire to blog for a long time now and so finally tonight I decided to take that desire and run with it.
Hense the creation of this blog.

Kudos to FRANK ANARCHY for being one of a few people to inspire me to start writing again.
Go and checkout her blog - www.frankanarchy.blogspot.com
She's rad and I love her.
<3

Another inspiration was WhatAboutAdam - www.whataboutadam.net
He is great. Really really.
Frank introduced me to his blog. Thankyou Frank!

One of my ideas for this blog, apart from me writing things and rambling alot is going to be a little section called "Snapshot of the day" - I'll add random photos of something or someone that's relevant to the blog I'm posting. So you get visual and written stuff in my blogs.
Should be fun. I hope. Tell me if it's not. Hahah.
Another little section I plan on doing in my blogging adventures is "Random thought of the day" - something I've had on my mind that's been bugging me for a while or something I've just randomly thought of that day.

I'll come up with other more interesting things as I go. Stay tuned.
Right, so that's all the business-y type things taken care of.
Now, down to the actual blogging.
Enjoy.



TODAY:

I went to work. I work at a vet clinic doing vet nurse-y type things.
Work was dull today, a whole lot of sick animals and a whole lot of very rude customers.
Sadly, this was nothing unsual. Oh well.
Today I found out one of the vet nurses I work with is contemplating leaving where I work (She's been there 5 years) and having a total career change - She wants to work in a nursery watering plants and giving them fertilizer.
Random huh? I thought so.
Yep. So, after work I came home and I've been wasting time on the internet and watching tv ever since. Haha.

UNTIL NOW!
I count this blog as me actually doing something productive, and totally not a waste of time.
So there.

I'm off to uni tomorrow, day one, week three!
I'm doing arty type things at uni - a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Interdisciplinary) - my co-major is Communcation Design, my minors are Visual Art and also Advertising.
I have my photography lecture and tutorial tomorrow! It's one of my faves.
I. Love. Photography.

I think that's about it for now.
I need to go and clean my fish's bowl out.
If you read this, please leave me a comment! It'd make my day.

Bye for now
Louise
