Use Somebody

Hello blog readers!

I thought I'd actually write a non-tilt blog for once, even though I don't have much to say that I havn't already said in yesterday's TiLT.
I'll ramble anyhow.
Whatever.

So things are pretty good lately, what with my birthday and christmas and the awesome weather and whatnot. Yes I just mentioned the weather. It's been great lately. Makes me want to go to the beach REALLY bad.

So right now I'm listening to lovely Jade playing requests for me on her radio show (99.7fm, check it!) and generally just enjoying the internet and Empty magazine.

I got a subscription to Empty magazine, I love it that much. I have two issues of it so far, check it out - Empty Mag.
Through Empty mag I have now discovered my new favourite artist - Karl Kwasny! I absolutely ADORE his work and his style. So brilliant. I've photo copied some of his work to stick on the cover of my 2009 diary, I love it that much.

I'll upload some of his art for you all to see into this blog. All the artworks in this blog belong to KARL KWASNY. NOT ME. KARL KAWSNY. GO SEE HIS WEBSITE, HIS STUFF IS BRILLIANT.

How gorgeous are his illustraions! Go check out his website!
I'm STILL and even more so addicted to Gala on her website. She's so gorgeous and inspiring and just generally wicked rad.

So yes, good times.
I'm excited about working lots next week. MONEY!
I was actually rostered on to be a surgery nurse on wednesday just gone, and, as if to spite me for some un-known reason, some vet clinic god made sure there were ZERO surgeries booked for wednesday. There was originally three booked, but one by one they all rang up and cancelled or changed their pet's surgery day to some other day next week. ANNOYING. So I sat around and cleaned things and served customers all day. Gah!
And I'm not excited about working at 7:30am tomorrow and 8:30am on sunday. Havn't worked a weekend in almost a month, which is weird after working every saturday bar about four in the three years I've been working at the vet.
But! I'm going out to Jade's tomorrow night! Will be awesome and taco filled with fun times on the side! DELICIOUS.

This blog is REALLY RANDOM. But oh well.
Rachel and I are into eye shadow. We've bought some GORGEOUS eye shadow from Lime Crime! We found out about it through Gala Darling and I can't wait for it to arrive! I ordered Snow Queen and Duchess. $17AU per pot! Super pigmented and sparkly! Exciting!
So exciting in fact is made me want to experiment with eye shadow yesterday. I had on two shades of purple, and then pink and also silvery white. Looked wickeddd. Turns out I don't suck at makeup as much as I thought I did.

The blog title is from Kings of Leon. I like their new cd even if it is concidered "cool" to like them now or whatever.
And I could really use somebody. A boy would be nice. Haha.
A girl can dream can't she!? =]

Can't believe I still have so much uni holidays left.
It's nuts.
Lots of cool stuff coming up though! New Years Eve!
Many, many, many concerts and festivals in January and February! Stars! Sunset Sounds! BDO! LOADS OF OTHERS AS WELL.
Finding out if I'm going to be doing photography next year at uni or not!
A new issue of Empty mag soon!
Finishing my roll of film I've taken on my lomo with the red flash from Alison and getting it developed! I really cannot wait to see if the photos are shit or not! Hehe!

I bought the dogs new collars for christmas, red for Skye, black for Zerren, with silvery reflective stitching on them. They look really neat.
And I'm ADORING my new Christina Aguilera perfume. It's the original one, and I love love love it. I'd go swimming in it if I could. So lovely!

I don't know what else to write about. This blog is so spasmodic.

I had ALOT of fun at Snitch last week. Good times. I dunno if I fit in there or not but I don't care cos it was fun as. The photo is some drinks Rach and I were having before hand. Fruit tingle anyone?! =] SO GOOD.

And I'm (kinda) looking forward to Repeat Offender's last gig. It's going to be epic and bitter sweet. I love my RO boys alot and I'm so so so sad they're not going to be playing together as RO anymore, but I'm excited to hear all this new material they've been writing for their new musical endevours.

So ok I think I'm done spasmodically blogging now.
Hope you all enjoyed that!
xx

TiLT - Week Seven

Hello everyone!

Being that in tha past week I've had a birthday AND now it's christmas, my TiLT will be long and present filled... hehe!



Here's what I'm loving this week -

Presents and birthdays - Saturday was my 19th birthday, and is the reason why this past week has been particularly delicious. I got up in the morning, mum made me pancakes and fresh juice and gave me my present, then I sat around watching Will and Grace til it was time to go to Never Ever Land with Chris!

Scratchies and cards - I ended up with about 7 birthday cards all up, makes me feel special. And Rose from work got me a card and a scratchie! No one else at work even remembered my birthday, so it made me feel great when Rose gave me the card. Rose is so lovely.

Gilmore Girls! They've made it into my TiLT lists before, but now it's even better cos I OWN them on dvd! THANKYOU JADEY! <3 Very awesome birthday present and something I've wanted for aaages. =]

NEVER EVER LAND! Went on saturday with Chris from uni. Chris is so great and so were all the bands we saw. And the drinks we drank and all the songs we danced to. The Presets were awesome, and The Klaxons, Cut Copy, Lady Hawke and Van She. Good times. And meeting up with Aaron and Dave and going back to Rachel's to hang with them and her, and then having Alison come over was just wicked rad. Good birthday day, even if I didn't have a cake or anyone sing to me. Good times.

Snitch! Last thursday going to Snitch with Rach and Frank was wicked fun, even if it is slightly embarassing to say I love going there. Hanging with Matt from RO, Erinn from Nina May and sexy Alex from Postcards for Abby was funnnn! Woo! AND THE PAPER AND THE PLANE played and they were great as per usual! Twas a good night out!

Blue and green curacao! My long time love of blue has now extended to green! It's like midori, but SO mch more affordable! Good times with Rach were had before we went to Snitch, and we made a kickarse Greek salad.

Birthday texts, emails, phone calls, facebook and myspace messages! Texts are the best, made me feel so special on the day though! I was getting them from different people all day long, from midnight to 11pm! So nice! My phone bill will now be huge.

Gossip Girl! In the TiLT list before also, but, I got the book the tv series is based on from Hayden for my birthday! Now I can read the trashy scandals, and watch them! Yeeew! Trashalicious!

MY NEW RING. By far the best birthday/christmas present I've gotten, aside from getting Zerren himself. My mum got my dads mother's wedding ring remade for me for my birthday. It was just a diamond and in an ugly 70's style setting, so mum had it remade, adding in some sapphires from my mum's mum, and some extra gold from one of mum's spare rings. Loooks gorgeos and huge sentimental value as well as real value!

JACK COMING HOME. God I've missed that boy, so very, very much. Him coming home on monday was such a treat. Seeing the suprise on his face when Dan and I found him at the aiport and then me jumping all over him was so great. He's home safe and sound now. Such relief.

Lomolito! Alison got me a Lomolito disposable film camera for my birthday! You can use the normal flash, or a red tinted flash, SO COOL. Thanks Al <3

Christmas gifts! This year I enjoying giving more than receiving, but I got the Christina Aguilera perfume I've been lusting after for almost a whole tear, and the new Kings of Leon cd. I got great presents for mum, dad, Hayden AND even my two lovely dogs - I got my dogs nice new collars so they look spiffy and some pigs ears to chew on :) The dogs were excited!

Christmas text messages! I've recieved 7 so far - Dac, Matt, Jed, Calum, Adam, Dan and Becca. Makes me feel special! <3


Ok so that's pretty much it for now I think.

It's a very materialistic list but oh well.

There's non-materialistic things in there too.

I'm grateful for all the people who love me and also that I've had such a good birthday and christmas week! =]

Things are pretty good right now.

Now all I want (not need, just want, so it's ok) is a nice boyfriend. Haha. Or at least someone to kiss at midnight on new years eve.

Oh wells.
I'll write a non-TiLT blog as soon as I have something interesting to write about.

Merry christmas!
<3

p.s Here's photos of me being a camera whore with my web cam. I'm a looser, I know.

TiLT - Week Six

Here's what I'm loving this week... (It's kinda short but oh well!)

Things I Love Thursday -

- Watching Gossip Girl whilst eating icecream in my pjs (aka what I did on tuesday night). There is no better combination than trashy tv that I'm addicted to and icecream!

- Hanging with Caitey at work! Sure, we pick on each other but deep down it's true love. We get along like a house on fire and Caitey's wicked fun! <3

- Purple nail polish! It strikes again! I adore it, still! I painted my nails purple last night.. again!

- IT'S MY BIRTDAY ON SATURDAY! Yeeew! I'm excited and I hope everything goes to plan and everyone has a good time, including me. I also can't wait to see what mum got me :P

- GETTING MY EYEBROWS WAXED TOMORROW! Havn't had them professionally done since my last birthday so I'm excited. I'm making it a personal goal to have it done more often. Haha.

- Repeat Offender. What kind of TiLT list would this be without giving them a mention? Even though they announced they're breaking up I'm still in love with them. Gosh.

- Head scarves and head bands! My collection just keeps growing and it's great! Mum even made me a paisley head band on tuesday <3

- Re-using old clothes to make them wearable again! Mum and I have been sewing, we made a dress into a top, long jeans in to shorts, hemmed my work pants and ... that's all so far but I've got more things in mind! :)

- Seeing The Paper and The Plane tonight with Rachel! Excited!!!


I think that's all for now!
I'll write a non-TiLT blog soon, I promise!
<3

TiLT - Week Five

Things I Love Thursday -
(It's a kinda short list this week but oh well)

- Getting compliments on my hair! I got it cut and coloured on friday, and EVERYONE at work commented! And my friends I've seen! AND EVEN RANDOM STRANGERS AT THE SHOPS AND AT WORK. Yeeew! Makes me feel great! :)

- My new 2009 diary. Nothing beats buying a new diary and starting to fill the zillions of blank pages with art and upcoming events and whatever else!

- DVDS! I went a little nutty today and bought a bunch of dvds, both for myself, and for mum and Hayden for xmas presents :) Hehe!!! I got Ten Things I Hate About You for $7! Yeeeah! :)

- Running into people I know whilst christmas shopping with Becca today! I saw Dan, Nathan H, Kim, Mr Kilpatrick, and Matt from RO... and I was only at the shops for like 2 hours! :) Good times!

- Drawing ink! It's a long time obsession of mine but I got all my inks out the other day and I've been playing with them on paper a bit :)

- SCRUBS! In the past week I've watched all of season 6, all of season 7 and a bunch of other random episodes. Yeeeeew! I wish Season 7 was longer! The scripts are just so darn fantastic and hilarioussss.

- Not being at uni! I love being able to come home from work and not have to write essays! Yeaaah for being avble to waste time on the net or watching tv!

- PUPPIES! I always love puppies but there's been loads of gorgeous ones at work lately! Yay puppy kisses and lots of cuddles and tail wags! Nothing brightens your day like a puppy that's happy to see you.


Hmmm I think that's all for this week!
Hope you all had a good week!
<3 Louise

p.s HI SAM. It was odd seeing you at work the other day. I hope your cat's eye is better now :)

TiLT - Week Four

Things I love this thursday -


- Chocolate mousse. It's pretty great. I keep eating it at random times of the day. Jade and I made loads of it the other day and SHE LEFT IT AT MY HOUSE, therefore I've been nom nom noming on it at all hours. :P So gooood.

- Something with Numbers! Concert last friday night was AMAZING. Gosh they put on a great live show! And Jake is so nice!

- Realising I have a fair few people who love me. I was thinking about my birthday and my friends and whatnot the other day and I realised I've got about 15 or so reliable friends. Some alot closer than others but loads of people who like me all the same. Made me feel a bit special.

- Catching up with above mentioned friends. Jade. Rach. Alison. Dan. Kim. Jess. Becca. Etc etc. Seen/seeing them all this week. It's great!

- Work. Sure, I hate it sometimes but my boss's given me LOADS of extra shifts so I'm happy again. And my job at the coffee shop is going well also! Yeeew! I can finally start earning enough money to have savings again.

- Sitting on the couch in my pjs with my laptop, infront of the tv, eating and just relaxing til all hours of the night. I like some me time. :)

- Kinda lame.. but.. MY BEDROOM. It's my favourite place in the world. I love every inch of it and I take pride in making it my own. It's my own little world. I love it. And I love taking time to edit it and make it better, or change it around.

- Getting my uni marks back and being proud of myself. I got two distinctions and a credit overall for my three subjects! Woo! Fingers crossed it's high enough to get into photography.

- IT'S FINALLY DECEMBER! That means my birthday, xmas, boxing day and nye! And it also means loads more hot weather! Yesss!


I think that's all for this week!
Bye!
<3

I wanna live like we lived in the Summer.

And, it's my birthday soooon! I'm excited.
Mum's getting my grandma's ring re-made for me so I can wear it without catching it on everything.And I realised people love me. A few close friends is more important than loads of not-so-close ones. Totally.
And clubbing and friends and fruit tingle drinks are grrrreat.
